9. "When the ruler of the feast had

which drew the water knew}, the governor
of tbo feast called the bridegroom." The
water was made wine. He did it, and
whether it be by the process of the vine
and the grapes or directly, as in this case,
it is all equally easy to Him. Be is the
vine; He is the true wine that naaketh
glad the heart of man. Not a cup of cold
water shall lose its reward; therefore those
who give much water now shall have
much wine or joy in the kingdom. We are
the earthen vessels, and if we ?111 them up

MILES STANDISH'S COURTSHIP.
Curious Old Poem ttrouOtt to Licht by

During several year•, there was pub.
lisbed in Lansingburg, N. Y., a small

issue of I)ecemnber, 1847„ it published
this poem, stating that it was copied
frons the New York Rover, and also
with the following comments:
"About this singular mediation a
word or two seems Inatome.. Whether it
be really a genuine antique or a more
modern irritation is a question for critics
to discuss. We can ante throw suoh light

"In order to ascertain whether the
ballad was founded in truth we have
turned to some New Eugland chronicles,
and find that the whole story is true to

London "coeters' bave a language of
tbeir own. Not that which is commonly
designated "Billingsgate,” but a lang-
uage of a harmless nature. There is
nothing very remarkable about it, ite
chief characteristic being a palpable kind
of bank -spelling. In many matters a
coater will speak of a half penny as a
"flatch," while "gen" in a shilling; but
"totich guy" iseight shillings "Coutor"
means a sovereign, half a crown neing
given the somewhat unpronounceable
term, "fiatoh-ynork."
A curious method of expressing mul-
tiples is shown by "erth-ewif-gena,"
meaning 15 shillings. "A docgbeno"
means "a good market;" "dabheno," a
bad one. "A regular trosseno" stands
for"a regular bad one." "Yes" and
"no" are represented" by "on" • and
"say." "Tumble to your barrikin" ex-
presses"understand you." "Flash it"
signiiies "show it." "Cross chap" means
a thief. "Showfuls" as an equivalent for
bad money.
"Do the tlghtner"—a very expressive
term, the derivation of which is not
diffionit to understand—means "go to
dinner:" "Nommus" stands for "be
off," and "tot" is a "share." Such terms
as "round the 'ousel" (trousers),
"beano" (spree), "pearliee" (buttons),
"Old Dutch" (wife or old woman),
"dooks" (flute'),, "splosh" (money), and
the like,• will be familiar to most people.
