stumbling Block. In Grammar.

suppose hardly any one who has ever
written 90 pages of English will deny that
this want of a gcnderless pronoun for the
third person singular Is the greatest defect
of our language and one that has never
been successfully supplied and never will
be till the common sense of the people
steps in and overrides by its fat the DEGREES
of the authorities. The clumsy makeshift
"his or her" has been as persistently re-
jected by the language instinct of our race
us it has been urged by grammarians, and
the critics may shout themselves hoarse
telling us that in such cases the mascu-
line pronoun is TO be regarded as includ-
ing both genders; the language sense of
the average English speaking person will
never tolerate its intrusion in such a SEN
tcnce as this: Either the husband or the
wife will change his opinion" Nine peo-
pie out of ten-nay, ninety-nine out OF q
hundred-if they haven't the fear Of the
schoolmaster before their eyes, viii say in
such case, Either the husband or the
wife will change their opinion" In fact,
this usage Is now so common in converse
ton that it may almost be said to have
become a well established colloquialism,
and examples of 1t can frequently be found
in the best writers. Ruskin never hesitates
to employ it when II suits his convenience
to do so. Fielding does the same-as, for
example, Nobody knows what 1t is to
lose friend till they have lost him"-and
though / am not very familiar with the
writings of Charles Reade here is an in
stance of the same sort taken at random
from him, Everybody was on deck anus
ing themselves as best they could"
This usage points us to the only prac-
teal way out of the difficulty. The queens
English must step down from its throne
when the sovereign people take it In hand

THAckERAY As AN EDITOR.
Gas No Good at the Business and Had .
wholesome Dislike For IL.

Thackcray was no good as an editor. He
took his duties too seriously. He never
cared much about the postman ut any
time, but after he became editor Of The
Cornhill he hated the mans knock and
ring, says Joseph Hatton, the English
writer. IL was not the work Of editorship
that worried him, but the cries of the i'm
pecunious, the intrigue of the impostors,
the persistence of the quacks and buffers
who haunt the editorial letter box and try
10 elbow aside modest genius and prey
upon good nature.
Thackeray was sensitive TO a tale Of dis
tress, spurious and otherwise, and writhed
under complaints or suggestions of In
oiyility, however unjust. He did not en-
pioy responsible and discreet subeditor
or at least one never hears Of that useful
factotum. He evidently opened all the
editorial letters himself, many OF them at
home. He did not make an Office business
of them. He never got clear of them. His
conscientiousness became perpetual sting,
and he could think of nothing else but The
Cornhill. Now Dickens, on the other
hand was an editor with method, and he
had an invaluable subeditor in Mr. Wills
mot Wills who wrote Charles the
First'), though even Dickens could not
edit a daily newspaper. Anu, alter ALL
who wants men of genius, writers Of i'm
aginatiye literature, to bother themselves
with the prosaic work of editing anythings
But, oh, the modesty Of some Of the
men who did not deem themselves clever
enough or wise enough to write for Thack-
erays Cornhilll Some OF our young
men and madens who write essays and
novels by tho yard and are ready TO put
forth their opinions on any subject at any
moment might find an object lesson In
Mr.. Motleys letter in which he Is Obliged
to confess, like Aguecheek, that he has
mo more wit than Christian or an or
binary man. He "feels sure" that he
should be IA bore were l to try my hand

A woman's Testimony as to the Value OF
knowledge of German.

A woman's Testimony as to the Value OF
a Knowledge of German.
1t was just little informal gathering
of women, and as they slipped tea with
their hats on and gossiped about church
sociables and of the preponderance OF
girls among the babies that had recently
arrived, one of them let fall a German
expression.
"Oh, dear mel Do you speak Ger
mani" asked the tall woman from
down east, who plumes herself upon
having married German broker and
thinks she speaks German herself
"How delightful
Certainly" said the stout woman
who was addressed. II should think l
ought to. / lived in Germany for ten
wears before was married. 1t is very
useful thing too My husband does not
sneak German, but l remember one IN
stance when the knowledge of just one
little German word was of great help to
him. You see, always made it prac-
tice TO begin teaching German to my
children when they wero babies, and
lust teaching them one word at time
and saving that one word whenever 1t
was appropriate until it was indelibly
fixed i'm their memory. Now, when my
last baby was beginning to walk,
wanted to teach her that the fire was
hot, and so whenever she went near to
il I would pull her away and point to
the stove and say, 'HeisF 1 said 1t
great many times, and by and by she
learned that 'heis' meant hot. Now, one
day my husband was breaking in a new
man at his factory, and he wanted 70
warn him about some dangerous place.
The man was German, and my hus-
band was at loss as to how to make
him understand until, all of sudden,
he remembered having heard me in
structing the baby. SO he pointed to the
slace and called to the man, Hest
'Heisr The mans face lit mp, and lie

Tn. Robin and tho Caterpillar.

The robin hops along in the furrow
and picks up worms as the farmer
plows, which it eats itself or carries to
its nest as food for the young robins.
The robin prefers smooth coated worms,
such as the common earthworm, but If
such food is scarce it does not disdain
the fuzzy caterpillar. 1t is an evil day
for tho caterpillar when robin strikes
IL. The robin picks it up and shakes it
and shakes 1t until 1t shakes the spines
out of 1.-THE fur, as the children call
the caterpillar's fuzzy coating-leaving
the caterpillar bare in patches and
sometimes all over and shaken all out
Of shape. Then the robin eats it or car

Benerr

Sleep. sweet spring. IN the storms and glooms
OF wintry skies:
Wake NOT 10 scatter thy lap Of blooms.
Dark DO thine eyes,
Sleep cntombed IN the drifted lea.
On frozen earth.
Nor stir with the old sweet mystery
OF life at birth.
Sleep in the seeds and scaiy hoods
or buds fast sealed:
Sleep for aye in the naked woods;
Die unrevealed.
Die in the frstlings Of the flock
And shivering herds:
Blight, upon tree and moor and rock.
The loves Of birds.
Sleep with the spawning frog and fish
In crystal cave;
Loose not. at natures ardent wish,
The fettered wave.
Sleep In the unborn Pascal moon
And veil her horn:
Freeze In the bells their holy tune
For Easter morn.
Stroud the sun as he rises fast
To zenith blind:
Darken his day with garment vast
OF cloud and wind
Sleep. sweet spring. In the purple gloom
OF the dawning year,
Nor hither come with thy balm and bloom,
Thy smile and tear
sleepl She sleeps who with burning brow
Loneed sore for thee.
Possess thy soul In her patience now,
And, whore she sleeps in the grave, sleep thou
Eternally.
