The only condition to the success of this experiment is a clear night when our 1110011 is not in sight.— KX.

Incorrect Grammar. Art educated person cannot bg too careful in writing and speaking. Corruption* are gradually creeping into OUT ; language, and if it continue on so, an- 1 be not arrested, our language will soon J become a miserable jargon, instead of thedrng, majestic Knglisb. The decisions of the Supreme Court are mod els of correct language. Their writing; are models of pure and lofty English. School teacher* and newspaper writers cannot -too carefully study the beauty, grace and correctness of these decision*. A Jhey are inodols — are pure English, with no unmeaning, W>gb -vewsdmg words. These decisions can be read w.ch s*seh ess*-, ili.tk.no on o is forced to go hack to reread u#| study what is the , author's meaning. Irving and P^gseott, the historians, are model classic English writers. Their language is plain I and simple, and very easily understood. So pure i* the language that the sl;glit- * eat mistake in his causes surprise to an intelligent reader. We recollect an in- I stance in his History of Pent — be *ay« that the Hpaniards in crowing over the mountains, that the "horses'1 feet were used up.11 Even thia slight slang excited the surprise of a reader. Ho understood the slang, and wrote tij»nn the margin, "Oh, Prescott f We heard a schoolmistress complain »»f l ho price of an artMe by calling it 'awful steep.' flbe knew better but she was careless," All teachers should require their scholars to speak correctly, and hy thi» means the language will retain ile purity. Such incorrect Urns as thsae are rjiiito common, a*, "Little John Smith's boy," "A big New York parade," Ac. We saw a report upon the great parks of Europe. The writer said, correctly, • "the great park at Windsor," instead of the jargon 'the great Windsor park," There is a great difference between black ladies gloves and Indie*1 hta<-k gloves.

There Is a place In Philadelphia where a stranger may buy his clothes, and fare as well as if he knew the whole city by heart ; and if he knows nothing about the value of cloths, or of clothes, he is as well off, as if he were a good judge of both. The reason is that everything to be found there is made there — made and sold under a system which rarely allows mistakes to occur, and which corrects them, If they do occur. Oak Hail, is the place; and its practice may be summed up in a few words. If you get there what you don't want to keep at the price, you return it, and get I your money back. This means a great deal more than appears on the surface. It means that yon are not going to get what you will not want to keep at the price, if the merchant can help it. It means that the clothes you get there will be of honest cloths, honestly made; and that they will cost you less than as good clothes can be got for elsewhere. It means that they will be every way better worth your money than you can get elsewhere for the same money. If it means anything less than these things — if it means poor cloths, trimmings, cutting, sewing, or in any way dishonest or illiberal dealing; the return of his goods will plague the merchant, injure his credit, and dissipate his trade. If it means these things — if it means liberal and honor-

.. - — able dealing, valuable and trusty clothing, « a9e and safety in getting it, Oak H is the place for you to go to, or to send-to ; and it is worth your while to know how you can send, if it is inconvenient to go. Write; say what your occupation is ; say what sort of use you intend to make of the clothes you want, whether for every-da y wear or otherwise ; what color you prefer, or what color to avoid ; say about what you want to pay ; say everything that you think may aid a stranger in choosing for you. Voo will get in reply samples of cloths and prices of wliatever you want made from those cloths. You will get also the means of having your measure taken by an unskilful person. There is only one difficulty left. Somebody has got to take the risks of the dealing ; for there are risks. Send your money along with your order. That covers the risk as to your good faith. We risk everything elsfe ; the fit, and your satisfaction every way. Our trade by mail amounts to half a million dollars a year ; there's no reason why it shouldn't amount to five millions. ■
