The variations of laniruuce in dif

often so extreme that residents iu one
region can hardly understand those of

manufacturer in the north of England
employed a set of workmen whose
pronunciation was quite unintelligible
to anon ears.
One day a southern visitor, wishing
to note the variatious of popular Inn

are obliged to speak in two different
tongues, one to your friends, and
another to your workmen. Is that
true?'
"It is perfectly true, as I will show
you. Hear me address out of the
men. fetch Mr. Dean."
The operative stared, and uttered
nothing beyond a peculiar guttural
sound.
"Fetch Mr. Dean, I savl" Still the
same stolid expression of countenance
continued.
The employer then glanced mean
ingly at his friend, to prepare him
lor a surprise, anu said, abruptly.

life, daily repeated, and constantly
elllcacious in ns bciieliceut results on
bruins and uorves, mid within reach
of tho poorest us of tho richest, free as
sir, siiushine and water, is a good
night's rest, it is stinugo that ws take
so little thought uUiut tho means of
getting it. Hurler's Uazar.
