Mursell, contai: following amusing but instructive : The — to which [ have next to direct atten- tion is manliness in speech. There are many Young men who seem to consider essential to manliness, that they should be mastersof slang. ‘The sporting world, like its brother, the swell tub. a language of its own; but thi dog English extends far beyond the sporting world. it comes with its hordes of barbarous words, threatening the entire extinction of genuine English! Now just listen for moment to our fast young m: or the ape of a fast young man, whe thinks that to be a man he must talk in the dark phraseology of slang. If he docs anything on his own responsibility, he does it on biscewn “hook.” If he sees anything re- mar! good, he ealls it a “stunner,” the superlative of which is a “regular stunner ”’ It a man is requested to pay a tarern bill, he is asked if ho will ‘Stand Sam?” If he meets ® savage-looking dog, he calls him an ‘ugly customer.’’ If he meets an eccentric man, he ealls him a “rummy old cove.’’ A sensible man isa“‘chap thats up to snuff.” A man net remarkable for good sense is a ‘cake’ —a “ flat’’—a “spoon’’—a “stick” —“ his mother dves not know he is out.” A doubtful asser- tion is to be “told to the marines."’ An in- credible statement ia “all gammon.”’ Our young friend never scold, but “blows up"’— never pays, but “stumps up’’—never finds it «difficult to pay, but is “‘ hard up" —never feels fatigued, but is ‘used up.” He has no hat, but shelters his head beneath a “tile.” He Wears no neckcloth. bat surrounds his throat with a “choke Ile lives nowhere, but there is some place where he ‘- hangs out.’’ He never goes away or withdra but he “ bolts’’"—he “slopes” —be ‘“mizzles’—he “makes himself searce’’—he ‘‘walks his chalks’’—he --makes tracks’’—he “cuts his k*’—or what is the same thing. he “cuts his lucky.” The highest opliment you can pay him is to tell him that he is a “regular brick He does not profess to be brave, but he prides himself on being “plucky word which he has for- good deal about “tin,” “the rhino,” and the “ready."’ When a man speaks, he “spouts’’— when he holds his | sey he “shuts up "—when he is humiliated, he is “taken down a peg or id “made to sing small.’ He calls his jaws.” his legs “pins To be per- plexed, is to be + ttummaxed’—to be disap- agent is to be “dished” —to be cheated is to “sold” —to be cheated clearly, is to be “done brown."’ Whatsoever is fine. is ‘‘nob- by’’—whatsoever is shabby. “seedy “—what- soever is pleasant, is “‘jolly.”’ He says ‘Blessed if he does this,’ «‘blowed if he does that.” *banged’’ if he does the other thing; or he exela‘ma ~My eye!’? “my stars!’” If you asked him which were his stars, he would be “flummaxed.”’ Then he swears * By George” “* by the piper’ —on select occasions he selects “the 2 ae that played before Moses.’” Now, a po eal of this slang is harmless; 1m: ny of the terms are, I think, very expr. yet there is much in slang that is objectionable. For example, as Archdeacon Hare observes in one of his sermons, the word “governor,” as applied toa father, is to be reprchended. I have heard a young man cal! his father the “relieving oiliver."’ Does it not betray on the part of young men great igaorance of the pa- ternal and filial relationships, or great con- tempt furthem. Their futher is to such young men merely a governor—merely the represen- tative of authority. Innoventiy enough, the expresaion is used by thousands of young men who venerate and love their parents: but only le, Eng- ined the < A Personat Narrative.—Wr. Walter H Shabe, formerly editor of the Shield and Ban- ner, at Mansfield, Ohio, gives a clear account of his sensations at the time of the accident on the Central Railroad, at Sanquoit Creek, by which six persons were killed, and about forty wounded. Ie says it is the third time he has been through a similar scene within nine months. The first intimation Mr. Shube had that all was not right on the train, he heard a shriek apparently trom a female voice, immediately followed by a cracking sound. Having made up his mind that the surest way of exeaping injuries upon such occasions, was to make fast to something, be grasped his seat firmly, and was immediately carried, seat and all, over the head of the man in front of him. He felt the fire flash from his eyes by coming in col- liston with the head of the unknown wan, who was lying dead in the baggage room. Mr. Suube says he distinetly heard’ the crushing sound of breaking bones as the old man was thrown against the side of theear. He says it sounded in his ears like that produced by a dog “eraunchine the bones of a partridge,’ and was to him the most horrible noise ho ever heard. He thinks the old man died instantly. Mr. Shube was in the second car; he saw a shower of splinters flying and got a glimpse of daylight shining through the end us he went down, following the engine, tender, bag- gage and first passenger car. ‘fhe third car struck the second in the end and dashed it in piecos, a ns of ruins) Mr. Shube was as- sisted out of the midst of the wreck by friendly hands; his injuries are a spramed hip and one of the small bones of his leg broken. He says the hip is injured in the same place where its firmness was severely tried on the Erie road, but he speaks confidently of being an his way again in a few days. Few men tive to pass through such seones as Mr. Shube has expe- Tienced. His own escape, as well as that of many others, stops little skort of the miracu- jous. —_———_______. [GF The Paris correspondent of the London Times furnishes an interesting summary of the financial operations of the French Government : The revenue of the empire is derived from direct taxes, giving a total of 67,555,979/. as the ordinary income of the State.’ T' total of revenue is placed at 70,529, 3 ferent items of ordinary expenditure, though some have been greatly increased, give a total of 69, to7/.. to which mut be added 1,114.- Yosl. for extraordinary works—making the total expenditure 70,603,290/. ‘The inereaze of the national liabil since the revolution of 1848, is represented by an increase in the amount of dividends equal to 400/. yearly. The successive governments of France have received in the course of the last ten years 112,400,000/. by way of loans over and above the annual revenue. It would consequently appear that France is adding to her national dcbt at the average rate of 11,250,000. sterling every year. ee ee Pressyrerian GeNeRAL Asseuuiy—The Geueral Assembly of the Presbyterian Chureh (O. S.) has been iu session at New Orleans for sev- eraldays. The sessions of the tirst two days Were occupied with general matters concerning tue advancement of the church. On the third day, Dr. Musgrave, secretary of the board of domestic missions, gave the assembly a brief summary of its action during the past year. The board have increased tbe hunsber of inission- aries by twenty,-making the number now em- ployed by them 6o0. The appropriations for the past year are slight- ly in advance of those made during the one pre- ceding it. The total receipes are $105,277 52; the think of it, and I am sure you will admit that it is a cold, heartless word when thus applied. and one that ought forthwith to be abandoned. Way Tuscauoosa ALwars Vorkp AGAINst Gex. Jacksox.—Old Hickory eroased the War- rior river at the close of a campaign. at Car- Tuseatooza county. There he halted sted for the recruit and refreshment of the sick and wounded for a few days. The entire disbursements for the same period are $103,105.67. ‘The receipts of the board are con- siderably above the record of any previous year. ‘The excess of increase in the past year over any preceding one is above $3,000. Dr. McKinney, from the committee on the ‘re- port of the board,”? made a ieport and offered several resolutions, which were recommiited Rev. Wim. Young. a delegate froma body en- titled the “Associtte Keformed Synod of the South,”? then addressed the assembiy, and was citizens of Tuscaloosa, then a smal! village. ot up a public dinner to the General. A eputation of militia officers, armed cap-2-pis, went to Carthage to extend the invitation to Jazkson. They found him busy, on foot, near the main road, dismounted, und with well set phrase, their spokesman invited him to the dinner. ‘For how many have you made asked Jackson. * For all my men No, only for yourself and off “Then,” replied the old hero, of mine will not eat a dinner not provided for all my boys!’’ Then turning on bis heel ab- ruptly, be left them. © poor militiamen were sadly -disoomfite] and mortified at this rebuff. Bat worse was in store forthem. A quartermaster, or his us- sistant, had laid his hands upon every horse of the delegatf™n, and dininied them for public service. Furious, they appealed to the Gen- eral. He declined interfering; could make no tinctions. Other men’s horses were taken, why not theirs, was surprised at their want of ages m, not willing te give up their horses 0 portation ef the sick and wounded he case was hopeless—the weather warm—the military trappings, coat. sword, boots, &¢., all unsuited for a long march in the hot and dusty weather.

Kent, on the canal, in South Akron, Ohio, while removing a stock of agricultural imple- ments, &. ‘the Beacon says: ~* On taking out and inspecting it, the box was found to contain the runniug worke of a brass clock, so adjusted and fixed that the revo- lution of tho stem would draw a bunch of frio- tion-matches, copnected with a train of tissue paper and fine :havings.over the tube ofa lamp- wick. An oyster-can, cut and fitted with a leather top, and filled with camphene, was i. ¢s1 under the clock, being the lamp to furn- Jah blaze =The hox was inclosed ina large box, which contained combustibles. A bottle of Cunphene was near, and some quarts of quick friction-matchber. When adjusted and the lamp lighted the clock would have ran several hours, (according as it was wound up.) and gradually drawn the matches into the blaze. when the combustion would have been instantaneous There can be no doubt that the whole con- trivance was for the purpose of ineendiarism, but the ulterior motive is a mystery.”’ Parsenvixe Flowers. —Our fair readers, all of whom, we know, love flowers—the season of which is now at hand—will be interested in the following mauner of Preserving them from iting, which a cotemporary assures us is highly successful. The plan is this: Procure a lat dish of poreelain, into which pour water ; place upon a vaso of flowers. and over the vase # glass-bel! with its rim in the water. ‘The xir that eurrounds the flowers being confined be- neath the bell-glass, is coustantly moist with that rises into it in the form of vapor 3s the water becomes condensed it runs down the side of the bell-glass into the dish ; and if weans be taken to enclose the water on the outside of the bell-glass, so as to prevent it evaporating into the sir of the sitting-room, the atmosphere uround the dowers is continually damp.
