THE USE OF WORDS,

Hamlet, when asked by Polonius

what he was reading,replied, “Vi/Xrds, words, words.” It is c;lmmon~pla.ce

enough to recall that words make up _;

the sum of all that has ever been spoken. written or printed, in. all langu_»g>.=, throughout all time. It is _- equally common-place to say that words are the symbols of ideas and the media of communication between the members of the human family.

And there are so many words !

Webster’s unabridged dictionary is said to 'contain 118,000 words, main- ly English. Some other languages contain nearly as many. Bat a very few persons ever avail themselves of more than a fraction of the vast num- ber of words available for their use. It may be said that comparatively few know the actual meaning of more than a small portion of the English vocabulary. Shakespeare, who used more dilferent words than any other writer in our language, and embodied in them more wisdom than any other, turned to account about 15,000 dif- ferent words. Few others, even of voluminous writers, have made use of _llllf that number. In their common .language the masses. the agricultural and Working people, utilise but three or four thousand words at most. Many persons of fair intelligence habitually nseno more than two thousand dif- ferent words.

Most persons who think at all and

-anddgsire to convey their thoughts toothers feel constantly their inabil- ity to express themselves as they would wish. They fail' even to con- _vey precisely what they mean. _ They _egive to their hearers either a fuller _-meaning, or a different one, or one that comes short of what they desire toconvey. All sulfer from this im-_ perfect power of expression, and fre-

themselves with facility and accuracy,

.`-feel their limitations more than'

-others. And yet our common lang- "uage is so full of word symbols, that any one who is acquainted with one half its resources need not want for dtting language in -which -to c‘otl\e' his thoughts.

Of course, words without ideas are ~*

inert material, and no amount of faci- lity in the use of: language will give vitality to mere verbiage without ideas. But we believe with the auth- or of the famous Elegy, that many whose minds have conceived great thoughts, happy fancies and beauti- ful imagery, have utterly failed to convey them to their fellows in living, breathing form. or in the strength and beauty of their mental conception. Our ciuntry church yards do some- times receive the dust of u. “mute in- glorious Milton.” Such persons lack-

of men deep with their thoughts and songs.

The faculty of felicitous expression

to which many eminent men owe so much of their fame can be acquired,

sure by many of those who earnestly, studiously and persistently seek to acquire it. Demosthenes was not naturally an orator, yet by persistent eifort he attained a. marvellous power of persuasive speech that stands out in history as pre-eminent. Tennyson was by no means the greatest thinker of his age, but by a grace and feli- city of expression which he acquired he made for himself a place among the immortals. It is not easy to do =his; on the contrary it is only by long, arduous and painful cH`~rt that the end can be attained. He who _would win success in the highest and best use of words must begin young, for this “art is long, and time is fleet- ing.”

But there are at least T words

enough, if we can but find ideas to give them life and find the right form in which to arrange them. And whosoever can do this need not lack the reward of fame at the last,-nor even the earlier reward of money The world was never before so willing to reward those who have the thought, fancy, imagination and power, or grace of expression that are demanded. “How forcible are right words,” wrote Solomon. ` And Tennyson, who found a market ready
