The Beauties of One Of Our English Verbs: , a THE HURON EXPOSITOR: An educational journalthus describes the -trouble a Freuehman had with the I verb "break." "I begin to understand your language better," said my French friend, Mr. Dubois, to me, "but your verbs trouble me still, yen mix them up so with pro- positions." "I am sorry you find them so trouble- some," Was all I wind say. "I saw your friend LIr. Murkeson just now," he continued.: "She says she in - intends to break down housekeeping ; am Iright there?" '"Break up housekeeping, she rdust have said." "01 , yes, I remember; break np house -eepin„." "W y does she do that?" "Be ause her health is broken into." "Brc. ken. down." • "Broken down? Oh, yes. And:in- deed, ;Since the small -pox has broken up in our city —" "Broken out." thiuks she will leave it for a few weeks." "-Will she leave her house alone!" - "No7she is afraid. it will be broken— broken—broken—how de -I say thel ?" "Broken into." "Certainly; it is what I meant to say." "Is her sou to be married soon?" kWo, that engagement is broken- - broken 77 "Broken Off." "Yes, broken off." . • "Ah, I had not heard of that." . "She is..very 'lorry iboutdt. Her son. .• only broke the news down to ,her last week. AM 1 right? I am anxious to. speak English well." "He merely broke the news; no pro- position this time." "Ib is hard_ to understand.

"So much fkrr the verb "break." - • Mrs. -Livingstone's 'System. - Mrs. Livingstone had a system; She ate, drankeslept: and nearly died by it.. Monday morning, rain or shine, the washing was done if it rained, the clothes were dried in the house—around. the tire or - anywhere, but dried . they must -be. Tnesd.ay she ironed, and such ironing! every brown towel was faith - folly folded and ironed all over, and she wOuld. have considered .it -an everlasti t' disgrace not to have • ironed her shirta on both sides; Wednesday she mend- ed,. laid away the week's wash and churned. Thursday • her house was swept and garnished from cellar to gar-- ret, or perhaps I should say from garret to oellar. F,riday she did the thousand andone thilags which. come under the head of "little puttering jo14." Satur- day she baked and mopped, floors. A very es'Io.d system you perceive, if • only she 1.17ad "bossed" the systeminstead of letting the system "boss" her. Were either al the two childen ill, it was only a question of -getting to bed before Sun- day mOrnint; ; the system went , on as hsual.

" 'not let the clothes boil over the stove.- My head swims so that I must • sit down a minute."

There came a timerat last—one bless- ed day—when "mother "took the house- -hold reins again; took them to drive herself, instead of allowing the system to do it• for her; a tirne wlieni the children and father followed her around with loving looks, and thanked God that Mother was well again, even though She could never be as strong as before ber illness. - . Look out for these systems, sisters; they are making invalids and old. wo- men of Many of us. Remember that a dirty floor is better than a back ache.; and that be the house ever so clean and neat, it loses for the family all pleasure if the hom-e mother is tired aud depress- ed.—Co Itntry Gentleman: , Hard Him. . A party of ladies and gentlemen were spending the evening- not long since at the residence of a gentleman in George: town, wbo is quite Celebrated tor his wit. He bas a little daughter seven years of age, who has apparently in- herited her father's humor. This small young lady was present in the parlor during the evening, and while she was there -one of the lady gueetasang a bal- -lad. -Then some one asked the little girl if she would not sing something. -"Oh, you don't want- me to sing after that," said the child. An army officer who was present, whose habit of hard drinking is well known, and who has been in the habit of telling the little girl his brave exploits, said to her: "Come, .come; pluck up courage and sing. Borrow some of my spirit and then you, won't be afraid." "No, thank- yeti," replied the little girl, ."your spirits are too ardent." Rather Embarrassed. It was at the post offiCe. The, demoiselle was buxom, bashful, and aged 18. • She wanted. a dollar's worth of stamps. "One dollar's worth„" re- •peated the smiling assistant; iof What denomination." The &tense -showed symptome of embarrassment, and hesi- tated to reply. She. twirled ijer shawl fringe nervously, east her eye about to see if any one, was near, moved a 1ittle closer to the window, and final y hiked in a'fimoyous voice: "Do you ibe to write it, -down ?"

His ac- quaintance with the languages of con- tinental Europe assured him a large practice, whieh did not prevent his paying much attention to the learned societies of which he was a prominent member. -A young man called on. him .for ad - ice, and. began hts story thus: "Mr. Duponceau, my father died and made a w41."
