I a Coleridge's '"Ancient Mariner" are these words: "Water, 1 water everyw la-re. nor any drop to I drink." Ninety-nine people in a ; hundred say "and not a drop to w ok" for the last line. Again. how often we hear people j *5png, "Kale. Britannia, Britannia rules (instead of rule) the wave?," j and quote Maehet h as say in/. "Screw your courage fo the sticking . point," instead of "Mickin;.: piace." Those two familiar linos of Sr.mm i 1 Butler's. 'Tie that complies against T his wi'VsT of It is own opinion <till," 1 are usually misquoted as, "Convince . a man again.-t iiis will, lie's of tlm J same opinion still." Shakespeare never wrote "It's an ' ill wind that blows nobody good." < although this is the version generally given of the correct words from \ "Henry VI.," which run, "ill blow- 1 the wind that profits nobody." Xa- 1 thaniel Lee is similarly treated 111 i - regard to his phrase, "When (.Jreeks , joined Greeks then was the tug of j war," which more often than not i; misquoted as, "When Greek meets j Greek then comes the tug of war." 1 "Money is the root of all evil" is a travesty of the line from the first j Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy, j "The love of money is the root of all evil." Another Scriptural passage which is often incorrectly quoted is the sentence from Proverbs, "Pride goeth before destruc- 1 tiorf and an haughty spirit before a & The nonular version is. "Bride goes before a fall." That fine phrase from Wolfe's I ; poem, "The Burial of Sir John ( lloore," which runs, "But we left him alone with his glory," is very badly treated by people who say, "Alone in his glory," while the cor rect words, as written by Longfel ;r low, of the phrase so often used, "All things come to him who waits,' are, "All things come around to 1 ( him who will but wait."?London i $ Tit-Bits.

Not long ago ' : a visitor in Richmond was having his shoes polished by a little coal black specimen about eighteen inches in height, but possessed of gleaming white teeth and rolling ; eyes. "What is your name?" the visitor idly asked. "Gem, sah," was the reply, accompanied by a grin of 1 startling proportions. "'Gen?' I suppose that is an | abbreviation of general?" the visit- ' or, who had some idea of the fondness of negroes for titles, inquired. "Xo, sah; don't know as 'tis," was the reply, "abbreviation" evidently j being too much for him.
