bottle of it in the house. Alter having

The English of book-rending Ameri
cans differs from that of edui-aUtl V.Uff
lUh people, write Edward E,'lo:tin
in Century, only in those superficial
traits that are the unavoidable result of
a differentenvironmcnt and the fluctua
tions of fashion. But along1 the shore
of a stream the current moves more
slowly, and suffer eddies and backsets.
Much old English of the days of Crom
well, some that goes book farther even
than to "tjueen Marie's daies," will lie
found in the dialect speech of rustic
neighborhoods in America. There are
facts in the history of EufrlLsh words
that will never be known until some of
the younger American philologists go
afield in search of the living forms thut
grow in the soil about them, and that
are not less instructive thnn the din
lectsof England assiduously gathered
by a multitude of observers, or the
patois of the Frenuh country to which
Littre was not above paying his re
spects. Disavowing any pretension to be
a philological expert, 1 propose to write
here as an observer of American folk
speech. On that portion of the history
of the English language which has to
do with its conditions and changes in
this country, and on that alone, I may
claim to speak with some authority, if
the. life-long habit of studying the
people's speech, exceptional opportuni
ties for observing it in many widely
separated districts, and an extensive
acquaintance with writings of all sorts,
printed and manuscript, of the colonial
period, can give authority.
English travelers very early mention
ths differences between colonial speech
and that of the mother country. This
arose partly from the great number of
new objects and processes that must
have names .and partly from English
provincial words adopted into general
speech in America. For example,
"swamp," with a far-reaching Scandi
navian ancestry, and no doubt a long
provincial nse in Lnland. had to he
explained to EnglUh readers, though
its use appears to have been treneral in
the American colonies. lir Kitti it had
passed into a verb in common use in
Massachusetts; thus Xini;rret, the In
dian chief, is said to hare "swamped
himself when he had hidden in a
wooded morass. In 1720 "swamp
formed part of a compound word;
"swamp-law," in Maine stood for cer
tain extra-judicial methods of attain
ing justice known to all rude Bnd pio
neer lands. The word "swamp," like
many other provincials of the time,
bettered its fortunes by immigration,
and was received iuto good English so
ciety when it went back.
There are indigenous words in our
folk-speech, but our local rustic dia
lects are composed almost cntirelv of
words m tacir older forms or older
senses, of English words now quite ob
solete, and of words from provincial
English dialects. When first I heard
farmers in the Lake George rogi'n cull
a "cowslip" a "cor.-slop.'' I suaii-jd to
thir.k how modern the com:p!i"U a.
and how easy to imag-ir-.c that the
name had something to '. with the
feeding of a eow. iiut rc. "i ru"Ses jn
etymology are ever ucsc.V:: v.i'.loppe"
is given as a form of the '.axou
word nine centurii. r. ago. 'i'!re eVymol
ogi its miss the ki;.ry of tin., word,
and of the word :i p, " I.-- i.t.t know
ing that, both at, i: -... an.l v r. , ":;l)p"
refer tu any liquid t.r M?uii;:;r.id food
for cattle, and tiiL,over zr uj.e a re
gion of America as to make its an
tiquity certain.
Take anotuer expression that seems
strictly American. "She is in a perfect
gale." one says of a liule girl or a
young woman in a stele .: c;"ervescent
mirth.
It is easy .;! tuv..i--il to sup
pose this to be modern, aad l; ;'.erive it
from a seafarer's frr.ire of speech. Hut
the Danes who u.Uli;d in England
spoke a tongue very much like the
Icelandic, and there is in this speech
the word "gall" v. it ii a long vowel
meaning a. "fit of gcyety," so that
Anglo-Danish ladies in the court
of Ennt probably "irot into a
perfect gale" as our American wom
en and girls do now. In Xew
England they have the verb to "train1
for to romp. For this I can find no re
mote ancestry; it may have come from
the Xew England "trainin," with its
rum, cider and ginger bread, bnt I do
not think it so recent as that.
I have given enough examples to
show that the most ancient and least
mutable part of a language is the
residuum the folk-speech. Fashions
may change, but the countryman is
slow to give np the ways and words of
his forefathers. If the world'schange
knock the sense out of a word, he will
put another meaning into it with a.'
little alteration as possible. Some ol
the provincial English people say "bal
lowday" for holiday or holy day. But
Xew England hallowed no holidays,
and kept holy no holy days but the
Sabbath. So from holiday, or the bioad
sound of hallow-day, some -of our
northern farmers get "hollow-day"
that is, a day witb no work in it. They
attach quite another sense to "hollow"
when they note the condition of the
atmosphere in which sound 2a easily
carried. "The air is so hollow that I
can bear a train ten miles off," one will
say.
Boaaty Mors Than Skin Deep.
Science says now that beauty is not
skin deep. She can tell yon that half
the charm of a pretty face at least the
expression is a matter of little muscles
and a complex luln-rinth of nerves, and
that the curves of the lips, the glance
of the eyes, the droop of their lids are
a matter of the prevalent use of certain
small muscles in obedience to a preva
lent aspect of the mind. Moreover,
that the nse of these organs of expres
sion has come down along ancestral
lines and that the mold of the features
themselves is a question of heredity.
