Use and Abuse of Word* tM Phrase* It 1» a corioui bat easily axplioabl# fact always and everywhere In civlli*ed oountriw there has prevailed, to a gresUr or l«&a extent, two distinct mode# of ejpeecn. The one is the style of the literary an*, tocracy, the other of the unlettered commonalty. Just as gold is the measure of industrial values, so the former or tbeee two dialects is the standard by which correctnees of phraseology and pronunci*. tion is to be judged. Flowing more or less in the same cnannel,

in a muddy

stream parallel with this, is that coari#, corrupt form of speech which—as nxucb as dress and manners—distinguishes ignorant and uncultivated persons from these who are educated and refined. Another into resting tact, which is co-extensive with civilization, is much more prominent among Europeans than it is among Eng-lish-speaking communities wherever the latter are scattered widely over the earth. It ia this: the literary language, in phrase and accent, is everywhere pretty nearly the same, while the dialects of the un» taught populace vary, from country to country and district to district, in almost overy possible deviation from the best usage of thejnother tongue.

These various groups of this baser strata of English have one characteristic in common. As compared with the standard language, they are all more antiquated in pronunciation and moro Saxon in idiom. The wind blows "right peert" (pert) over the heap of the poor whites of Virginia to day just as it blew across the Avon in Shakspeare'a time. In the rural districts of New England "housen" are still built, and things are "hove," "hefted" or "aarChed" (searched) for as they were in the mother country two hundred years ago. From England, British India, Southern Africa, Australia, Canada, Yermont, Virginia, etc., innumerable specimens of this low English might be oollected together, but a large volume would be required to exhibit and explain them. The very few of them admitting of notice at the present time will be the more interesting if taken from our own immediate neighborhood. "Had ought" and "hadn't ought?1 Theso two grammatical weeds always survive our free school cultivation, and some' times grow thriftily in the best New England colleges.

In England hens "sit"—always but throughout the United States, not only the Bun and the moon, but all the feminine feather hood "set." It would seem as if no amount of teaching will ever make American children adopt the correct word. "To feel like" eating, etc., is assuredly a most extraordinary sensation. A man may feel sick or like a culprit, but that he should feel like an action is incomprehensible. "Was" for "is," He said, for example, that God was (is) love. Half the editors of the United States manifest their contempt for grammar in this way. "Sold at auction." Auction is not the place or time, but the manner of sale, The Boston Advertiser and a few other papers use the correct expression: sold by auction or by private sale. "Quite," or very is wrongly employed both in England and America. As qaite ireans completely or entirely, it would be interesting to know what is to be under stood by tne phrase "quite a number."

School boys play what they call "high spy." This should be "I spy," as is ebvious from the nature of the game. A genuine Yankee never troubles himself to sound but three letters in the word hone some of bis cockney cousins make two answer, thus w, but a well-educated Englishman pronounces the word almost in two syllables, horse, enunciating distinctly every lettor except the last. "Ugly" and "clever" are generally mis applied all over New England. Many persons, in this vicinity, would, perhaps, badly understand that an ugly borse may be very good natured, and that a clever man may be extromely mean and wicked. "Lie" and "lay'* are extensively misused, in the vulgar dialect. "Now I lav me down," etc., as in the child's prayer, is all right but to say "he lays down," is lis bad as if a hen should lie an egg. Again the phrase, "he lies," may convey two totally distinct ideas, thus: r..'Cannot stand or alt," your beggar cries-tjf,*

But if bo tell* the truth, he surely uve." A "female"—human, of course-Miaying buried her husband, must either get Another or submit to be called "a widow woman'' during the remainder of her lifi,

Yankee butchers sell "fore shoulders" of mutton, etc., but hind shoulders are never offered for sale.

In the best English society it would not bo doomed indelicate to say that a lady's leg was broken. In America only men iiavc lega women have limbs.

Vulgar Yankeeisms abound in upa and downs. When it is "all up" with a man ho looks "down in the mouth." Trees are "cut down'' and then "cut up" for fuel. Purchasers who do not "pay down" are to "pay up" atja future time,etc., ate. A Vermont military Captain, being himself somewhat "sot up" at the time, gave the order to one of bis men "Hold up your yun up 1" "How arc you on't for money ?B etc. This very curious vulgarism, and may possibly claim descent from the "comment en eta cous?' of the Norman French,who, in bygone centuries, tyrannized over England.

But thoso few draughts from the muddy well «i''uefiled Eigliah must suffice here for the present. If the reader is thirsty for more, he may be sure that the supply is deptarubly abundant and always close at hand, sometimes gerhaps very near to his uwn Hps when he is least aware of it.

Hurricane Feats.

A St. Thomas paper relates the following remarkable incidents of the recent hurricane tliare

A gun on the ramparts of Fort Christian, u-ad for firing the morning and eve* ning signals, was forced through the partapet wall and thrown down into the barrack yard. The diving bell belonging to the dredging apparatus, a bulk of about nine tons, was lifted from the place known as the bulks or pontoons, and carried over and thrown into one of the spar pits of Mr. Hughes, a distance of at least a quarter of a mile. A piece of scantling some twenty-five feot long pierced the roef of a wooden house in Prindesse street, pass, ing through the back of a rocking chair and under a cottage piano, just near enough not to touch the keys above and the pedal below, then went through the door and rested on the counter of a grocer's shop underneath, so that the one end projected out at the roof, while the other end rested on the counter, at the same time holding the rocking-chair and piano immovable. The apartment is email and the occupants were in it when the accident happened, yet no one was hurt. A stone supposed "to weigh forty tons, that has for a long time been lying en the beach below the fort of the lower point, has now a vessel's sail spread undfcr it, much in the way that a table cloth would be laid on a table and a Urge dUh eover sat in the middle.

An Alabama paper announced that it would keep silent in regard to a "certain little affair," if a bottle of champagne were sent to the office. The editor revived a bottle front seven different parties

the"fo3jw-

The Chimney. Carrier. ing interesting sketch of early Methodism in thls country,1 jn connection with the name of Mrs. Barbat^ Heck:.

Methodism in'Amoricft had a romantic commencement^ and oWds so much of the impulse that originated it to Mrs, Barbara Heck,'that eh&is .fegHfded as one: of he foundresses.

She was not .bord .on' 'out sail,, andj, though a native of Ireland, was of .other than Celtic "race., The' cdnque3t of the Palatihate of the Rbine by Louis'XIY. sent foi'th numbers ofQisrittfin liUtheicans, who iaw jperil' to th^i'r Protestantism in the sWiay of aCith6lic.ru1er. Ireland recelVed bolonleg oifthese sincere,, zefilqua and laborious ineh, and many sbtjiled near

utin^ ,T patient industry and' thrift irhpulse wliibh the English goverriineiit bad iiefvter* dreamed of creating.' The Ruckle family Settled in Billigarane, and yjere j^mong those Qermans who,, neglected by the Protestant clergy in Ireland, listened with gratitude to the earnest, preaching of "Wesley. Here Barbara Was tornr, inf, 1784, and brought up in the Methodist faith, whidi she joined .as a metij b^r in hir' eigh" teeAth year, 'ilrekdy a thoughtful, serious, calm, self-collected and resolute ybung woman. In 17WT 6BS married Paul Heck, and that suae year emigrated to Ameri oa with a Palatine colony, chiefly Meth odist, led bv Philip Embury. They lanf ed at New York .on the: 10th of August, 1760, and were soon, jn a(manner, lost in the city, already a phce .of danger to the emigrant. iLater arrivals swelled the number cf these lrish Palatines, without, reviving their old religious fervor (tnd Methodism might have nevor. quickened intolifein the new soil butfor Barbara Heck. Deeply religious, she clung to her old German Bible.with earnestness, and sighed for an #wak«ning,'

One day, entering a room where: some of the Palatines were, she found them playing cards. Tbese signs of dissipation ana thoughtlessness aroused the Christian woman. With earnest words of reproach she seized the cards atui threw them into into the ftre anjd, going out, hastened to Embury's house Which atpod in Barrack street/ our 'modefh Pftrk place, and told him that he. must go and exhort these forgetting and fbrgptten men.

Embury began his work.. Barbara Heok had paved the way. A Methodist congregation- was organized, and met at Embury's house till it found a'home in t^e.Old Rigging Ls^l't, and finally in John street, whence, it ..lips spread o.ver the land.'

After liaviog Lhus givou an impulse to Methodism in America, MrB. Heck, with her husband and some others, among them Embury, removed to Salem, in the present Washington .county, Ne w.York but on the coming of the Revolution they withdrew to Canada, living precariously enough around .Montreal-till 1785, when they'finally settled down at Augusta Upper CanadarrHore, after losing hor husband in 1792, Rebecca Heck died in 1804. Her death was Jikp Mr life- She was found seated in her chair, lifeless, with her old Girtiisn Sibl6 open in hor lap

She was interred beside her husband in the old Blue Church graveyard and though her memory was in a manner neglected for a time, the Methodist centenary has revived veneration for her name. A moniiitaent suited to her worth is to bo raised at her grave, and $60,000 is assigned for a oollegiate institution, to bear the name of Heck Hall, in honor of the foundress of Methodism

Congressional Gossip. ..

[\VasWngton Correspondence New York Citizen There is but. little gossip afloat this week but I am able to say authoritative* ly that Thad. Stevens expects to die in the harness also, that Judge Underwood is a Radical. Roscoe Conkling is the best dressed man in Congress. Reverdy Johnson has more dignity in his make-up than any other member of the Senate. Thad^ Stevens looks like a Methodist preacher^ Impeacher Ashley has had his hyacinth locks combed. Judge Wilson, of Iowa, has grown gray in two yean, and dresses more like a christian now, than a plow boy, as he used to. Billy Williams, of Indiana, has got anew pair of gold eye. glasses, which he hasn't worn long enough to become accustomed to, and consequently looks through them very awkwardly, although he wears them all the time.— Illinois Washburn lost much of his.obe* sity during his recent European trip: but, as usual, swings his hands and arms when he talks, very much like the fans of a wind-mill.

General Logan has had his hair cut, and looks very much like Zdb Yahce, late rebel Governor of North Carolina.— Speaker Colfax's tongue is set on a pivot ia the middle of his mOUth, so that he can talk fastei than Barnum's lightning calculator can cipher. Jack Sogers is next to Speaker Colfax, the fastest talker in the world, and next to Cicero, whose mantle fell on bis -shoulders and slid off on the ground, (nobody has picked it up since,) is the longest sentenced man that ever lived. 'General Grant- got through public interviewing at Appomatox Court House, and hasn't had one with anybody •inee. People won't believe me when I say that Boss, of Illinois, is a joker, but say he tries to be one. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, never made a speech of more than ten minutes duration in hie life, and is one of the ablest Democrats in Congren. Marshall, of Illinois, is improving in health. Hooper, of Massachusetts, shews in his face, as well as in the rotundity of his person, that he is the best liver in the House, while McPherson, clerk of the House, looks like the ghost of a starved cork-screw. He is so thin that he has to stand up twice to make a shadow, and yei he is a first rate liver. General Garfield has got the strongest voice of any man in Congress General Logan has the loudest Colfax the deepest Thad: Stevens the weakest, and Kellsiy» of Pennsylvania, and General Bank! witf hav« to flip pennies to find which has the most Stehtorian. Kelley, however, talks through his nose.too much and imitates Forrest in his style t( declamation. He would make first*clas* Jack Cade. Leonard Myers and Cbai.

ONeil, of Philadelphia, are cl their intimacy wit» each, otlw as.„. Siamese twins, GeneraF' Schenck and General Butler talk by jerks—a phrase or a sentence at each jerk—as if they really believed what they said and expected everybody to be cpnvinced of, tlo correct--ness of their views, the momeht ao words l^ure their months. Butler wears a wide* briMied slouch hat,'tilted on one side of hlrh%d With a rakish SHganaHb^airr while bis make-up otherwise reaemblee a, well-fed alderman,' Philadelphia Yan Trump of Pennsylvania, acts apd talks

An isylon for Vseiess'YovDg M^n. In every community (fexcept "Water* town) there is a certain per pentage of useless young men, whose ultimatecondition must excite the sympathy and consideration of every philanthropist. What will become of them We do not .put the question as to their future state, but bow will they round off their earthly existence? They have no visible means of support, still they hang on, they vegetate, t£ey keep above the ground. In a certain-lit-eral sense, they m.ay 'be said to live, movfe and have a being! They l6,unge in pfficas, promenade the streets, appear at social amusements, play ^be gallant to good na» tured ladies and attend to the necessities of lap dogs. Their more q,uiet and undemonstrative life may be described qs an intermittent torpor, in which meals, cigars, drinks and sl'eep mark the changes. Their existence should be a mystery, but for their bearing certain relations to other substantial people known familiarly as "pa," "ma," or "better half," who are able to make provision fbr the waste and protection of their bodiesin the way jtclothes and food. $till,Stight'^eae't^idjir men to be left to the chances or .parental or domestic affection Allure hot equally fortunate.

mat B01LKK AN1 FDBSAOB IS OOTTIN I up upon tbe plain common sense principle of generating stoam. It is much safer thaa the ordinary Boiler, being smaller, and can be added to, or diminished, by the nnmberof series. The irregular expansion subject to Boilsrs, is obviated.' there being no flues In them to resist tbe ex* panslon of the shell. They are

Readily Grot At

for oleaning and repairing, ant the expense of making Jiew, is les* than any other known. They area saving of at least one-balf of the fuel.— The application of heat to them la to direct the attack on all the series but the first one on the side above any collection of sediment In the bottom, beeides completely wrapplag the boilers with the flame. Thereis between each of tbe Boilers

An AcUrotable Aparatus, for the purpose of regnlataiag the attack of heat on the Boilers. It Is also made smoke-consum-litg, by admitting air through pipes laid at the highest point of elevation between tha boilers these pipes ate perforated with boles. The flnee nnder them are enrved almost the shape of the Boilers, with reoesses or cavities nnder each Boiler to releive the ashes Whioh can be cleaned out at the little side doors. The current of wat»r in each Boiler Is independent of tbe other, being oaly connected bytlw mud drum, at the end of the Boi«ers and goose-neok pipe, as shown by the dotted lines in the engraving.

They can be seen in operation at Hr. George T. Kills' Woolesi factory, Terre Haute. Ind. For partleolars, aldress, or see
