Among many sins of the lazy and shiftless penman, the most flagrant is the overworking of that humble and indispensable wordand. This abuse is growing rapidly, even with some who might otherwise claim to be good writ- ers. Nothing is gained by it, of course, and a great deal There neither sense not humanity in break- ing the back of a harmless and helpful beast of burden, so that it becomes an object of horror to the fastidious and of commiseration to the charitable. such cases another Hergh should arise and form a new society, which might protect the innocent and prosecute the offenders. the last amusing work of a popular novelist, pointed out a sentence con- is lost. is For | } { of an irishman who desired to have a let- A critical journal, noticing { taining twenty-two (or was it twenty- | seven?) inflictions of this mild connec- tive. The proof-reader was evidently in abeyance here, or he would haye suppressed most of the ands, displaced the commas by periods or colons, and cut the overgrown sentence into six, or perhapsthirteen. This way of writing islike that of the preacher who does not know when to stop, or of the maga- zinist who exceeds his limits because he had no time to make the article shorter. Any of these calls to mind the youth of 6 feet and 12 years only, all whose strength had gone into his length. Compression, with considera- tion, is a good way to gain force, and inconsiderate expansion and repetition, even of the mere copula, a sure way to loseit. When Mr. Fields was editing the ‘‘Atlantic,” he once offered Dr. Holmes $100 for an article of six pages (or thereabouts), and less if it was longer. Yet Dr. Holmes could never have indited a sentence like this:— ‘He rang the bell and was admitted and entered the parlor, and took achair and waited some time, and at leneth Clarinda came down and apologized for the delay, and he invited her to ride, and she agreed, and they started, and the horse ran away and they were both thrown out, and she was killed and he badly hurt and——” soon ad infinitum, through details of the funer- a] and his subsequent career. Nobody, it may be presumed, writes this way on purpose; it is because, like the majority of juvenile delinquents, they ‘“‘didn’t think.” A Paradox. “Third edition! Here’s yer third edition!” yelled a New York news- boy in the afternoon. Aman who might have been, from his appearance, a professor in a coun- try college stopped him. “Give me a copy of the first edition,” he said. ‘Ain't none,” replied the boy. ‘But, my boy,” remonstrated the man earnestly, “there must be. The presence of a third entity presupposes the existence of a first and second. In- deed there can be no third unless there has been a previous first and second. That is an axiom.” The boy opened his eyes in astonish-~ ment and doubt. “Come off, cully!” he ejaculated. “You don’t know nothin’ about New York evenin’ newspapers. Here’s yer third edition!” and away he went yell- ing atthe top of his voice,—Detroit Free Press. oreneeeees-« ——" Could not get Insured. . Rejected by Straight Line and Mutual Companies.

She has given it to the Lord, and you—’’ There was a moment of silence The people flushed and moved restiessly in their cushioned pews ‘Does any one want to contribute te the mission cause the amount of money this crutch would bring, and give it back to the child who is helpless without?’ the minister asked gravely ‘Fifty dollars,’’ came in husky tones from the banker ‘*Tywenty-five’’ *‘One hundred’? And so the subscribing went on, until papers equivalent to six hundred dollars were lightly plied over the crutch on the table “Ah, you have found your hearts— thank God Let us receive the benedic- tion,’’ almost whispered the minister as he suddenly extended his hands which were trembling with emotion Little Maggie, absorbed in the magnitude of her offering and the love that had prompted it comprehended nothing that had taken place She had no thought of the future, of how she would reach her humble home, or of the days in which she would sit helpless in her chair as she had once done Christ had demanded her ali, and she had given it, with the blind unquestioning faith of au Abraham She understood no better when a woman’s arms drew her into a close embrace, and soft lips whispered in her ear: ‘‘ Maggie, dear,your crutch has made six hundred dollars for the mission church among the meuntains and has come back to stay with you again Take it little one’’ Like a flash of light there came a con- sciousness that in some mysterious way her gift had been accepted of God and returned to her, and with a cry of joy the child caught the beloved crutch to her lonely little heart; then smiling through her tears at the kind faces and reverential eyes she hobbled out of the ; sanctuary—Gertrude M Jones in Chris- tian Observer —o 00200872 E2TT2B887]]3E ickly Women! | eT é Out of sorts—ensily tired, hag- gard, pale and listless, try Indian Woman's Balm.
