AMERICAN SAYINGS.


 Don't swear; fght." The phrase has the ring of sound metal
 The American army of invasion ad- vancing upon Santiago de Cuba was preceded by body of Rough Riders. Suddenly the Spaniards, who were lying in ambush, fired a deadly vO1ley. and the startled Rough Riders replied with an outburst of curses. Don't swear: fight!" called Colonel Wood. The phrase will live.
 America is. a big country; it is des- tined to become a. great country, for there is manliness and vigor in the memorable phrases coined by celelrat- ed Americans. It was Stephen De- catur who originated the toast, Our country. right or wrong. Henry Clay said: "Sir, I would prefer to be right than to be president. The last words of Nathan Hale were, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose. for my country" William Penn coined the phrase, T prefer the honestly simple to; the ingeniously wicked" And 1t was Henry Ward Beecher who uttered the words, "The mothers heart is the child's school room"
 When nations become ariificially re- fined the phrases which their great men coin are either cynical or flip pant Thus, to Tal1yrand; is attribut- ed the phrase, "Mistrust first impress sions. they are always good" VOltaire declared that "Ideas are like bear1s; children and women never have them. To which might be added, "exc apt when they are monstrosities." An toine Rivarole said, "It is an immense advantage to have done nothing, but one should not abuse it. Samuel Rog- CTS said, When I was young said good natured things and nobody lis tened to me; now that I am old say i ill-natured things, and everybody lis tens to me-" To Sydney Smith we are indebted for the following ungracious description of fashionable woman Do not mind the caprices of fashion able women. They are as, gross as poo dies fed on milk and mullins"
 Whether Colone. Wood uttered them or not. the words Don't swear; fight. will ring long in the memories ot many generations.-London Truth. l e. z.-.--
