A Queer Language.

A fast man on a fast day took his fast horse and went to the end of the fast land, and there tied him fast, and as fast as he could broke his fast. Then he rose, and took off his hose, and went with his hoes’ along the rows, and put the rose on the end of his hose—which, as every one knows, is a sort of nose, though I hear some noes—and, like a fisherman, rows for the shad with noes, or a hunter goes for the forest roes. So his hosd waters every rose in all the rows. Now tell me who knows how a foreign wight (I do not mean white) could learn very fast the meaning of hoes and rows, or nose and noes, or to perform any rite right, or even to write wright right, if his living depended on getting some right which involved the right writing of wright, right, write and rite ? Camden Post. John Evans dropped into Tyringham, Mass., two years ago, from nobody knows where. He would never explain who or what he was; but he.soon became popular, and married the daughter of a resident. A few days ago he quit the table in the midst of dinner, went out of Tyringham, and has not been seen since. Why he disappeared is as much a mystery as where he came from. Even lus wife only knows that while he remained he was a kind husband. It is now reported that the hop crop of England will be greater this year than it was last season. The prospects on the continent have somewhat improved.
