The Beautiful Grass.
(J. J. Ingalls)
Lying in the sunshine among but
tercups and the dandelions of May,
scarcely higher in intelligence than
the minute tenants of tnat mimic
wilderness, our earliest recollections
are of grass; and when the fitful
fever is ended and the foolisn wranr
gleof the market and forum is
closed, grass heals over the scar
which our descent into the bosom
of the earth has made, fcnd the carpet
of the infant becomes the blanket
of the dead.
Grass is the forgiveness of nature
her constant -benediction. Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood, and torn with the ruts of
cannon, grow green again with grass,
and carnage is forgotten. Streets
abandoned by traffic become grass
grown like rural lanes, and are ob
literated. Forests decay, harvests
perish, flowers vanish, but grass is
immortal. Beleagured by the sul
len hosts of Winter, it withdraws in
to the impregnable fortress of its
subterranean vitality and emerges
again upon the first solicitation of
Spring. Sown by the winds, by the
wandering birds, propagated by the
subtle agriculture of the elements
which are its ministers and servants,
it softens the rude outline of the
world. It bears no blazonry of bloom
to charm the senses with fragrance
or splendor, but its homely hue is
more enchanting than the lily or the
rose
It yields no fruit tin earth- or 'air,
and yet. should its harvest fall for
a single year-famine would depopu
late the world.

LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY FE';
v'agrar.ts in East End of London U:
an Ancient Celtic Tongue Among
Themselves.
Shelta Tharl Is a language used se
cretly among people of the tinker clash
and principally to be met with in Scot
land and Ireland. Its use was first dis
covered and made known in 1876 by
Charles K. Leland, an American anti
quarian, and Prof. John Sampson of
Liverpool. One day, while walking
by the seashore at Aberystwyth, thej
encountered a tramp who addressed
them in an unknown tongue. Both
were versed in the Romany or gypsy
language and were much surprised to
meet one who spoke a tongue of which
they knew not a word.
They collected a number of phrases
from this man and found on inquiry
that he had acquired this strange
speech from his wife, who was a
tinker. The tinkers, he said, kept
their knowledge of . the language a se
cret, speaking it only among them
selves. Later Leland encountered
many other persons who spoke Shelta.
He found thatch many of the drinking
places In the East end of London,
where vagrants often congregate, the
language was freely employed, but
that when an outsider made his ap
pearance, it ceased at once to be spok
en. Scientific; methods applied to the
study of Sheltaproved that.it is no
mere system of back slang or cant, but
an ancient Celtic speech.
Romany, the language of the Eng
lish gypsies, is still spoken by a large
number of persons. Among the ma
jority of them It has become corrupt,
but the older gypsy folk still speak
what is known as "deep" Romany,
that is, the gypsy language in Its pure
state.
e dialect of Shetland, although
Its grammar is Lowland Scotch, is
very largely Norse and as spoken by
the Shetlanders among themselves is
scarcely understandable by the aver
age Scotsman. On the Isle, of Man, a
Celtic tongue different from Gaelic or
Welch is still used by a number of tfe$
