Obsolete Words.

If it is an allowed fashion to use
slang words, which are not in the
dictionary, would it be surprising to
md IN the future a general use of
obsolete wordSl A few hundred
years have made us forget these
words; but as they are still in the
dictionary there is still some show of
authority for them. Cannot we i'm
agine a department in our colleges
for the study of obsolete wordS1
Suppose the year to be 1850, and
here are two letters written by
schoolgirl graduates of that period:
Dearest Nellie! What a strange
letter! Once you were ready to

boil me by such terms as exsufflicate
