slang of Other Days.

Slang has always been fruitful
source for the expansion of language,
and instances may be multiplied of
words now respectable which were
once tabooed as vulgar.
But, on the other hand, there have
been many slang phrases in use for
centuries which have never become ac-
ceptable to the purists. AS long ago
as 1850, the celebrated letter writer,
Horace Walpole, used TO speak Of sit
ting guzzIing'' and getting drunk as
an owl"
Then again. In the diary Of one OF
the most prominent woman writers OF
the eighteenth century, Frances Bur
ney, are found good slang phrases OF
the American college girl Of to-day, as
for instance: II sneaked out" "Did
you ever know such toad?" and 81
had a vile cold"

Mr.. Wylie had attained the summit or
ALI his hopes: he had inherited his por-
ton of Constance's fortune, and he was
Lord of Penrhyddyn. The estate had
been put up to auction; but he gave so
short a notice, and so little publicity,
that there was scarcely bidder. and he
bought it in for himself at his own price.
And lust at this time the Griersons were
too much occupied with their own dith-
culties to think of thwarting him.
Before he had resided at the Castle
month, there was not man upon the
estate whom he had not made suffer by
some act of oppression or petty tyranny.
Notices we're served upon the tenantry
that rents would be raised; laborers and
fishermen were expelled from cottages
that they and their ancestors had inhaD-
tied for scores of years. All was con-
fusion and discomfort.
Poor old Daniel, from the time OF his
erpulsion from the Castle had gradually
broken; but he still continued to haunt
the precincts, and on the very day that
n PASSED away from the old family, he
was found lying dead in the shrubbery-
most probably he had fallen down In nj,
and no help being at hand, had thus ex-
pired. From his childhood every Thought
and feeling had been devoted to the
Penrhyddyns, and he did not survive their
downfall, even va day.
