But in early spring one moves in such a world of wonders, the merest atoms of tissue are seen to be informed with such varied and vivid life, that I lift the particle carefully upon a shell and drop it into a jar of water to see a strange unfoldment, a beautiful transformation. The central mass expands into a double chambered ! bell of pure and transparent ves; ture, and these gossamer globes be! gin to contract with regular rhyth? tnic motion, lifting the creature up! ward and softly urging it forward | by their quickly repeated pulsa! tions, while from below four gradj ually lengthening tentacles trail ! backward with graceful undulations. ; This beautiful medusa, the Sarsia 1 mirabilis, is the earliest of our jelly; fishes to appear in spring. By its ! pleasing and graceful form, by its ; eager Xnd tireless movements, it ! seems to visit our scores at this sea| 6on almost like an Ariel of the deep, ! voiceless, it is true, but throbbing [ with its message that the ocean's ! submerged shores and its dark abys; mal chasms are all alike awakening ! to the spirit that transforms the j upper world. One is at a loss to | comprehend these creatures, so dif; ferent in form from any that we are ' wont to associate with animal life, for, although without a head, they are yet capable of sensing the light and auditory vibrations.

The movements of the body and the contained impulses that prompt them seem one and indivisible. The desires of its beipg seem themselves to urge it forward. Like a thought it seems momentarily embodied or an emotion precipitated into the visible as it impulsively mounts upward in eager quest or in apparent disappointment relaxes its efforts and subsides with all its drifting appendages a-stream, only after a moment to palpitate again with refreshed intention and slowly pulse on its softly insistent way.?H.

Critics who assert that we get more slovenly and careless every day in speech, manners and customs have proof of part of their assertion at any rate in the manner in which 1 the writings of famous authors are continually being misquoted and . distorted. In Coleridge's "Ancient j Mariner" are these words: "Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink." Ninety-nine people in c -an 1 ti -t ,1 /] aat\ [ Iiuiiuicu cav auu xivo a w i drink" for the last line. Again, how often we hear people sing, "Rule, Britannia, Britannia rules (instead of rule) the waves/' and quote Macbeth as saying, j "Screw your courage to the sticking : point," instead of "sticking place." | Those two familiar lines of Samuel Butler's, "He that complies against his will is of his own opinion still," are usually misquoted as, "Convince | a man against his will, he's of the j 6ame opinion still." Shakespeare never wrote "It's an j ill wind that blows nobody good," although this is the version generally given of the correct words from "Henry VI.," which run, 'Til blows the wind that profit? nobody." Nathaniel Lee is similarly treated in regard to his phrase, "When Oreeks joined Qreeks then was the tng of war," which more often than not is misquoted as, "When Greek meets AW aavmao tKsa 4n rr vor " VJfl U1CU VVU1V9 wuv V* n*?. "Money it the root of all evil* it a travesty of the line from the first Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy, "The love of money is the root of all evil.* Another Scripturil passage which is often incorrectly quoted is the sentence from Proverbs, "Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall." The popular version is, "Pride goes before a fall." That fine phifese from Wolfe's poem, 'The Burial of Sir John Moore," which runs, "But we left him alone with his glory," is very badly treated by people who say, "Alone in his glory," while the correct words, as written by Longfellow, of the phrase so often used, "All things come to him who waits/' are, "All thing3 come around to him vho will but wait."?London Tit-Bit*. "Fop Short." The names bestowed upon some of the small southern negroes remind one of those of the o'd Roundhead days?Hope Above Williams. Have Faith to Re Save 1 John Mitchell, and so on. Not long ago a visitor in Richmond having his shoes polished bv a little eoal black specimen about eighteen inc hes in height, but possessed of gleaming white teeth and rolling eyes. "What is your name?" the visitor idly asked. "Gen, sah," was the reply, accompanied by a grin of startling proportions. "'Gen?' 1 suppose that is an nhhrovintinn r\f ornrtpral ?" t}i*? visit v v o or, who had some idea of the fondness of negroes for titles, inquired. "No, sah; don't know as 'tis," was the reply, "abbreviation" evidently being too much for him. "Mah sho' 'nough name nm Genesis XXX 33 So Shall My Righteousness Answer For Me In Time to Come Washington Carter, an' dev des calls me Gen for short 1"?Bohemian. Vogue ?f Old Novel*.
