ED. From the London Examiner. In the category of words that should never be used come first misformed words as “lit” for lighted; “plead” as the past participle of the verb “to plead,” instead of pleaded; “proven” for proved, a forin now obsoleve except in the Seotch verdict of not proven.” These are what might be termed grammatical errors, but they are very common-among those who pass for fair writers atid educated men. Less venial faults are the use of such yulzarisms as ‘on to” for on or upon, whieh is becoming increasingly frequent amon careless writers; and wh plood has not run cold at reading adyertise- ments th our religious papers of baptismal “pants?"—to be worn, we suppose, by those reverend “gents” who minister weekly “in our midst,” preach “lengthy” sermons that enthuse” their hearers, and are generally reputed to be “reliable” men whose acts will never “*jeopard- ize” thé good name of their flocks, albeit they sometimes have ahelpmeet” or “ielpmate or “companion” or “lady”—that is to sa: wife—whose words and acts need to be jud with great “leniency.” There! “at one fell swoop” we have reprobated ali but three of the words and phrases, condemned by Mr. Ayres, that we are now considering. No well-bred man will ever speak of such a garment as his “panta,” nor will he call his wife anything but his wife, “Helpmeet” is a stupid word, as has often been pointed out, and owes its existence to a careless perversion of Genesis il., 18, ‘1 will make him an helpmeet (ie. suitable, fit) for him,” and “helpmate” is astill stupider’ pervet sion of “helpmeet.” If we are to say “lengthy why not “‘strengthy?” and besides, our good old friend “long” will answer every purpose. Wesay “leniency,” when lenity expresses the same shade of meaning. Why add so clumsy a word as “jeopardize” to the language when ‘Jeopard” is already there for the same pur- pose? Why use the ill-formed word “reliable,” (which should be rely-upon-able, to mean what is intended), when we have trustworthy end credible? ‘“Enthuse” is one of those horribly ill formed words whose mere pronounciation is their condemnation, in the mind of one who has uzh acquaintance with the history and genius of the languageo be qualified to express any opinion on the subject, while “in our midst” is a careless way of saying ‘in the midst of us,” which is intelligible English. The three other words that Mr. Ayres would prescribe are “preventative.” a clumsy and use- leas substitute for preventive; ‘yraduate,” as an active intransitive verb (a student does not “graduate” from college: the college graduates him—i. e., admits him to its gradus; and the student therefore is graduated); and “mis- taken” in such sentences as “You are mistaken” (when what the speaker means is, “You do not understand me”) for ‘You mistake.” To Mr. Ayres’ list should be added, we think, such non- English wordsas anent.auditorium, bogus,uonce, taboo, tapis; such slangy words as tied,” which isa favorite word imthe poli Se vocabulary, and “resurrect,” which is used as a verb in many a sermon; such misformations as “gubernato: and “post-graduate”—how can one graduated from a college and thus made *‘a graduate” ever become a “post-graduate?” One should write, “A graduate’s course ot stud) or “a post-graduation course of study,” the for- mer having the preference. We assume that no reader of the Examiner needs be warned against any such pedantic words as “‘authoress” and “poetess;” such vulgarisms as ‘‘crank,” which the Guiteau trialhas made so common; or such a wrong-headed idiom as ‘different to” of which some English writers are so fond. If they do need any warning, we beg of them to eschew each and ail of those words. And we are in- clined to add to the list ‘donate’ and ‘‘dona- tion,” which are at least unnecessary while we have so many words as “give,” “grant,” ‘“be- stow,” “present,” and their substantives, to express the same idea. Words used in wrong senses fall naturally Into several classes, first among which are the words sometimes called ‘reporters’ English,” words misused becanse they are thought to sound fine. Examples of this misuse ot words are: “Apprehend” when the writer means merely “think;” “condizn in such a phrase as “condign punishment, when the writer means severe punisiment;” ’ “casualty” for accidents; “predicate” for declare, and the like. Some writers never can bezin anything; they always “inaugurate” or “initiate,” or at the very best “commence” it; ifaspeaker or singer is well received by his audience, he receives an “ova- tion;” if a man is_kind-hearted he da “humanitarian” (i, a believér only in the human nature of Christ), which is to attribute a grave heresy to a man under pretext of com- plimenting him; and if one of this ilk goes to church, he always speaks of it as the ‘‘sanc- tuary.” We exhort all who read this article to eschew these and all similar errors. Whatever may say in the freedom of conversation, when you take your pens use plain words to ¢ press plain meanings. If you mean grante don’t say “accorded;” if a ‘speaker has talked for fifteen minutes on a subject, dou’t say that he “alluded” to It, which means merely to touch and pass by atopic; if you mean think, don’t say “consider,” which denotes the eful weighing of a thing; don't say “residence” for house, “individual” for person, “portion” for part, “purchase” for buy, and be chary of “vicinity” for neighborhood. In short don't be stilted. Allied to this class of errors is that careless and slangy use of words which results from an effort to be colloquial and easy in writing. It is not easy to be familiar without becoming vulgar, but the art can be learned in writing as well a8 in social intercourse. Careful writers will avoid all such phrases as the following: “Balance” for remainder, “bound” for “det mined, ‘claim’ for assert, “indorse” for ap- prove, “loan” for lend, “own” for confess. A very common kind of mistake is the misuse of small words through mere carelessuess; as, to say “less” where fewer is meant, or to use “such” for so. This list might bo indefinitely increased. There is also a class of misused words, all too common, that are positively vulgar. Under this head, of course, comes all slang, of which no well-bred man ought to be guilty under any circumstanses. To slang may be added such words as these: “and” in phrases like “try and used for likely; “got” in combina- tions like “he has got a fortune;” “healthy” for wholesome (lobsters are usually healthy, but they areconsidered unwholesome); “companion” for wife; “female” for*‘woman; “lady” for woman. or wife (these last three are the superlatives of vulgarit ” for person; “posted” for in- formed; “‘retire” for go to bed; “superior” as thus applied, ‘‘she is @ very superior person.” Probably these examples will suffice. Still another class of misued words are mis- employed in such ways as to leave room for the charitable inference that the writer Is ignorant of their real meaning. When one uses “‘alter- native,” the preposition “between,” and the conjunctions “both-and,” or “‘neither-nor,” to refer to more than two objects, it is evident that he is guilty of nothing worse than gross ignorance. The same conclusion follows when one calls two objects a “couple” when the two objects are not united by any sort of bond; It is doubtful whether ape, should not also be re- stricted to two objects so united. “Distin- guished” is often wrongly used by those who are not accustomed to discriminate between two words of similar meaning. pa eee ee Soul Burying. ‘Brom the Popular Science Monthly.

To a disinterested observer there is noth- ing surprising in the performance, for when you prod a mule (with due respect to John Kelly) ten chances to.ono he'will kick. But whi is surprising Is that Hubert 0.

But the calm philosophy of thé mayor 1s not shored by many of the Tiiden men; they fume about what they call treason and conspiracy, and declare that there should never be an attempt again to make terms with the adherents of Kelly. ‘A few county democracy men are to be four who gravely admit that there has been a mistake.
