number of suitable hymns. Appropriate
addressee were delivered by Rev. Robt.

and Thou. SLc0illicuddy, the superinten-
dent of the school. The order was ex-
cellent, and there is a feeling that spec-

frequently held, help to increase the at-
tendance of the young at the regular ser-
vices of the church. The addresses were
much enjoyed by tho parents and the
adults present.

Mea■Ing .f Words.
The word "watch" was originally used
as a term of endearment, similar to
"darling." The word "wench" formerly
was not used in the low and vulgar ac-
ceptation that it now is. "Denise!" was
the appellation of young ladiesof quality,
and "Dance" a title of distinction.
"Knave" once signified a servant.
"Varlet" was formerly used in the game
sense as ralet. On the other hand, the
wend "oompanion," instead of being the
honorable synonym of associate, meant
the anis as "fellow." "Villain" was a
bondman. "Penant," a schoolmaster.
Mary words have deteriorated, and gain-
ed • sinister meaning at first foreign to
them.
The word "cunning," for example,
formerly meant nothing sinister or
underhanded. "Denture is another o f
this class. It was used by earlier writers
for the in.inution, which is now almost
latent in it, that the external shows of
modesty and sobriety rest on no corres-
ponding realities. "Explode" formerly
meant to drive off the stage with loud
clapping, of the hands, but gradually be-
came exaggerated to its present signifies -
tion. "Facetions," too, originally meant
urbane, but now has so degenerated es
to have acquired the sense of buffoonery.
"Indolence' originally signified freedom
from passion or pain, but now implies a
condition of languid nor -exertion.
•'Insolent' was only "unusual." "Gos-
sip" was a sponsor at baptisms. A poet
is a person who writes poetry : and, ac-
cording to the good old custom, a prover
was a person who wrote prose, and sim-
ply the antithesis .of poet. The word
hes now a sadly different signification.
