Cant Phrases.—A Praotical Sketch.
BY DB.  J- H-  ROBIKSOK.
It is a fact iliai cannot be dispuied, tbat cam phrases have become the order ol the day. The Engliah languago liieraily groans beneaih theae expleiives, which have grown out ol the vulgar taste. They may be called moral excrescences, which should be excised by the hand ofproprie. ly. Tho mania for caut terms of expression has spread far aud wide, and iiilecied oid and young, until iherc are but very few persons who can relaie ihe must simple event, wiihout inietlard- ing the narraiion with phrases that nmst shock every truly refined mind.
This evil stems lo be steadily onihe increase, and one cannot walk the streets without hearing the most juveniie portion of the .community em ploying lerius but ill adapted to their childish lips. Itis the duty j}f the prcesj andof parents, to eudeavor to check this growing oppeiite for whai IS monairous and unbecoming. .Elegance of language, as well aa elegance bf manners, is necessary lo entitle any person lo the distinctioit of** lady," or"genilcmao."
We admit ihat many persons ofgood senso, and of very^giQ^ loaie in maoy reapecie, Jiave beon betrayb^lfiio the habit; but that furiiisbea no excuse tor the continuance, and does not go 10 prove thai cam phraocs are necessary or pro¬ per.
So lar Irom assisting to express an idea,facili. lata the process of narration, or conversation, lhey aciuaily have a conirary ctTect, and render the procesa more alow and difficult. They are like extra weight placed upon a horse inlended for speed, wbich weighs down and wearies tbe animBl. The human speech should be noble and dignified, and worthy to express ihe ihoughis of immortal beings. Low ideas are always at¬ tached lo cant phrases, which must inevitably exercise a degrading influence upon the mind.— XiOfr conreptions are as detrimenial to improve¬ ment, as wei and heavy plumage to a bird that would take a loiiy fight.
Thosa who would be really refined, fashiona¬ ble and elegam, woulddo well to rememberthat in all worka ol fiction truly valuable, iiis only the coarse and rulgar who make use of low and inelegant phrases. The really good, learned and polished, are made to e.mploy cbasie, simple and elevated language, in order that the contrast be¬ tween the high and the low raay be made strik- ingiy apparent. It is intended by the author of such productions, tfaat we should imitate the first, and shun the glaring defects of the second.
To illuBtraie the cam phraseology of the day, we will take ibe liberty to iniroduce our readers to the Stout famiiy, wbich comprises four per¬ sons—Mr. and Mre. Timothy Sioul, Josephine and Napoleon Siout. Josephine is old enough to excite some attention among the beaux, and Napoleon bas reached ihat period in Itis exis¬ tence, when he thinks himself enmied lo a "stand up" dickey of the most lofty preten¬ sions, bear's grease and cigars; and when his hean bea.is faat ai bearing the footsteps ofsome young miss, just emancipated from short clothes.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Siout had been reared in an aimospbere ol cant phrases ; and ihey had inhaled it until they were fully and hopelessly impregnated with the malaria. Tbeir courtship, even, wae conducted on cam prmciples ; for, when Mr. Stout asked his bride elect if she would "hook on for life," she promptly an¬ swered that " she'd be blest if she did'nt! Whon Josephine made her advent to bless the connubial staie ofthe couple, Mr. Timotliy pro. nounced hera "irump," and Mrs. Timothy de. clared, with equal earnestness, that she '• beat all creation." When Napoleon made his debut upon the atoge of life, his male progenitor call¬ ed him a " roarer," and his matcrnai parent averred that he was a " tearerf When both were old enough to play abom the house, one was " up to anufl'," the oiher was " a brick."-' In their juvenile diepmes, Josephine branded Napoleon wiih the infamous epithet of "small poiaioes;" ibc latter retorted smartly, and with equal severity, that she " did'nt know beans." Wben Napoleon was obstinate and obstreperous, hia moiher warned him ihat he " would catch it;" to which he finally learned to reply, as his intellect expanded, with a significant gesture ¦well understood by/oa( young men, " over the left, old woman ;" which unparalleled precocity pleased his father to such a degree, that, in the exuberance of admiration, he was impelled to make the impressive remark lhat Napoleon "was hard to beat;" this encouraged the lad so mucb thai he instantly assumed an attitude a la Napoleon, and mildly recommended these nior Stout lo " go it, boots i"
We feel that we cannot better illustrate the aiibject before us, than by subjoining the follow¬ ing conversation which transpired a few daya since in the Stout family.

• "Bless me, Napoleon.howyoudorunon. I never heard ihe beat of you."
" I thank heaven!" exclaimed Mr. Thomp¬ son, emphatically, that my children are not in¬ fected wilb this moral leprosy which diafigures human language, and detracts from the dignity oflhe human character. My friend, I hope you tvill make a strong and long-continued effort to repair the mischief which your example has wrought. Be neyer weary in this work of re¬ form, and ever bear it constantly in mind, that your children can never appear to goud advan¬ tage in elegant and refined society, until ihey can speak correctly ; or, at least, in a manner not to offend ordinary good taste. There are circles to which the slaves to such habits can¬ not by any means gain admission ; because their influence woutd be deemed pernicious, I trust you will not be offended at my plain dealing, for I speak from the most disinterested ofmotives. Let Josephine and Napoleon visit me at ihe city, and I will do all I can to eradicate ideas soda, grading, and to instil others ofso much more value,tbat they shall never regret the excbange." In justice to the Stout famiiy, we will say that they did make some faint efforts to profit by lhe auggeatjonaof Mr. Thompson ; but wiiboui any panicular resuli. Mr. Stout resolutely de¬ clared, after a few trials, thathe couldn't come it;" Mrs. Stout endorsed xbia opinion, by add¬ ing that it was a ''hard case," and Miss Jose¬ phine rendered the idea still stronger, by rejoin¬ ing that it " wasn't noihing else ;" while the bold Napoleon coueluded, finally, to "lel ber slide ;" so that no perceptible change took place in the Stout fimily.—Gleason's Pictorial Draw- ing-Boam Companion.
'•1 don't greatly like his " rig," but Josephine thinks he's'5ome,' " was the reply.

"Go   in   lemons!"   suggested    Napoleon,
smoking through hie nose—a remark, by the
way, so ambiguous thai it certainly must have
puzried other parties to guess at his meaning;
but in the present case, it seemed to he invest-
ed with perfect lucidity.
" Napoleon, I advise you to   ' abut your hop.

Mr. Stom proceeded lo inquire if Mr. Ruaile
was a man of property ; and was assured by his
beuer half that he had a "pocket full of rocks."
lhe husband and father then remarked tothe
eflect that he had been more favorably impreas-
ed with Mr. Goodwin, a young farmer in the
neighborhood, than withthe gemleman nnder

But thia bliss of ignorance, or thoughileflsness, was finally interrupied by tho viait of an old friend of Mr. Stout, whom he had not seen for many years.
Mr, Thompson was a man ofstrong and good sense, and had the rare faculty of expressing himaelf m an appropriate and elegant manner.- A genilemaa so accomplished could not remain long m the family without being shocked; and hewas perfectly astounded at hearing, every hour, such an avalanche of coarse and unrefined forms of expression, which obviously originated among the lowest classes ot people.

Snakes and Snake Hunting.
Here is M. Gironiere's accouni ofa anake ad¬ venture, in the Phillipine Islands:
My doga were dispersed along the brink of a deep ravine, in which was an enormous boa. Tbe monster raised his head to a height of five or aix feet, directing it from one edge to theoih. er ol the ravine,and menacing his assailants with bis forked longue; but the doga, more active than he was, easily avoided his attacks. My fist im¬ pulse was to shoot him, but then it occurred to me to take him alive and send him lo France.— Assuredly he would have been ihe most mon strous boa ihat ever had been seen there. To carry oul my deaign, we made nooses of cane strong enough lo resist the most powerful wild buffalo. With great precaution we aucceeded in passing one of our nooses round tbe boa's neck; then wc lied him tightly to a treo, in such a man¬ ner as to keep his head at its usual height—about aix feel from tbe ground. This done, we cros¬ sed to the other side of the ravine, and threw another noose over him, which we secured like the first. When he felt himself thus fixed al both ends, he coiled and writhed, and grappled several litile trees which grew within his reach along the edge ofthe ravine. Unluckily for him, everylhing yielded to his efforts; be tore up the young trees by the roots, broke off the branch es, and dislodged enormous stones, round which be sought in vain lo obtain the hold or point of resistarice he needed. The nooses were strong, and ^viijjhstoodhis moat iuriona efforte. To con¬ vey an animal like this, several buffaloes and a whole sysiem of cordage were necessary. Night approached ; confident ofour nooses, we left the place, proposing to return next morning and complete the capture; but we reckoned without our host. In the night the boa changed hia tactics, got his body round some huge blocks of basalt, and finally aucceeded in breaking his bonds and getting clear off.
Human beings rarely fall a prey to tbese big reptiles. I heard various stories from the In¬ dians ofmen being killed and swallowed by tbem; but Indian stories are not tobe implicitly ered ited, and I was unable to verify more than one instance—that ofn malefactor who hid frora jus¬ tice in a cavern. His father visited him occa¬ sionally, lo supply him wiih food. Ono day he found in place of his son, an enormous boa sleep¬ ing. He killed it, and found hia son in its stom¬ ach. The poor wretch had been surprised in the night, crushed to dealh and swallowed. Upon the whole, however, the boa is one ofthe least terrible of tho Philippine serpents.— There are small ones whose bite proves mortal within a few houra. Of an exceedingly venom¬ ous descripiion is one which the Indians call dajon-palay—leaf of rice. Burning wilh a hot ember is the only antidote lo ita bite; if that is not promptly resorted to. horrible sufferings are followed by cerlain death. The alin-morani is another sort, eight or ten feet long, and, if any* thing more dangeroua atill than tho 'rice-leaf,' in¬ asmuch as iis bile is deeper, and more difficult to cauterize. Although so much abroad in foreat and mountain, and taking but few precautions, I was never bitien, though I had some narrow es¬ capes. Once I trod upon a dajon-palay. I waa warned by a movement under my fool. I pres¬ sed hard with tbat leg, and saw the snake's lit¬ tle head atretchine out to bite meon the ankle; fortunately my foot was on him at so abort a disiance Irom his head, that he could not get at me: I drew my dagger and cut off hia head.— On another occasion I noticed two eagles rising and falling like arrows among the bushea, al¬ ways at the aame place. Curious to see what manner of animal they were attacking, I ap- preached the place; hut no sooner had I done so, than an enormous alin-morani, lurious with tfae wounds the eagles had inflicted on him, advanced to meet me. I retreated ; he coiled himself upt gave a spring, and almost caught me on the face. By. an inverse movement, I made a spring back¬ ward, and avoided him; but I took care not to lurn my back and run, for then I sbould have been lost. The serpent returned to the charge, bounding loward me; I again avoided him, and was trying, bnt in vain, to reach him withthe edge ot my dagger, when an Indian, who per¬ ceived me from a distance, ran up, armed with a bough ofa tree, and rid me of him.
DarOne oftho 'parvenue' ladiea ofa certain vil¬ lage who would be wonderfully artatocraiic in all her domesiic concerns, waa viaiting a few days since, at Major G's, when, after tea, the follow¬ ing converaation occurred beiween the Major's old-fashioned lady and ihe 'top-knot,' in conse¬ quence of the hired girl occupying a seat at the table.
" Why, Mrs. G , you do not allow your
hired girl to eal wilh you at the table ; it's hor¬ rible."

They know what ihe trouble is; faiher is keep¬ ing Blue Monday,—and whether quiot or play¬ ful, busy or indolent, they know that he will not bo suited. Ho steps over to the apothecary's for a glaas of soda water; or if he is poor he lakes a drink of whiskey ; or if he is conscien- liouB yet, a glaaa of Scheidam Schnopps. Wbat horrible weather it is ! The sun shines out so hot; the streets ore so dusty and full of evil odors; everylhing is so cloae ! What a horri¬ ble headache ! His head might crack Hke Ju¬ piter's, but there is no thought in it. He goes to his work—for on Blue Monday, work and play go as usual—but the work amounta to lit¬ tle or nothing, and the play haa np sport in it.— If he is a mechanic, his tools are out of order, bis fellows out of gear, and his employer intol¬ erant, harsh, and exacting. Being a man of spirit, he generally resents aome insult which on any other day than Blue Monday woutd have been no insult at all, is discharged, and spends the next three days in looking -jp em¬ ployment. If hia business requires any think¬ ing. Ins thoughia are only semi-fluid—they will not run out at the pen, and of such as do, by virtue of much trying, make tbeir appearance, he is so ashamed, tfaat he earneslly hopes for no more of that sort. Weairily ihe day wags on to its close, and only as tfae shades of even¬ ing cool the air, and excitementa ihat come with the evening preaent themselves, is fae faim¬ self again. Then be wonders wfay wife and cbildren do not slir tfaemselves and enjoy the world. Trouble ia all nonsense. The world is a good son of a place, after all, to pass the time, and unless this ledious day faas tempted him to the commission of some mischief, of which he must busy faimself in repenting, the rest of ihe week passes along pleasantly enough.
But the keeping of Blue Monday is a very cosily luxury—few of us can afford it. Those who prepare far it according to the moat im¬ proved plan, commence their preparation on Saturday night. The week's wages are devot¬ ed to making merry boon companions. A brief sleep yet a lale lying in bed on Sunday morn¬ ing are essential. Tfaen a cruise from atreet to atreet and from one groggery to anoiher, and a nigfat spent in froiicing and beastly drunkennesa, put tho devotee in excellent condition for his Blue Monday. But there are others, reapecta¬ ble people, who are not drunkards—nay, who do not drink at all, yet who devote every Monday to the deities that make maidens and young gentlemen melancholy and_hang a gloomy veil over every object. Sucfa are they wfao make the Sabbath a day of sight-seeing and riding in¬ to tho country. They leave their homes with the dawn and go oul to the suburbs bunting pleasuro. They look along trout streams, over green fields, up steep hill sidea, and through dark woods, seeking carefully for pleasure.— The esciiements of bosiness wbich have been kept up fora week, arc exchanged for an ex¬ citement no leas powerful, and no less wearing. Reat is''not down on the day's programme.— Wearied, dragged out, ihey return at nigbi, trying Ito convince ihemselves ihat ii has been a pleasmt and refreshing day. Blue Monday doea not undeceive tbem. Jaded and suffering the reaction fhat alwaya succeeds undue excite¬ ment, tbey meditate a change of business nnd new connections. Health suffers, and spirits flag. They have bad iheir whistle, which was a very defective one at best, and lhey have paid dearly for it too.
Let all good and honest men pronounce against the keeping of Blue Monday. Shut up ihe tip¬ pling shops and half of those who waste their wages, spoil their tempers and make miserable their familiea on iheae gloomy Mondays, will begin to lay up their earninga, become good cii¬ izens ond happy in tfaeir family relaliona. Aa to the others, the press, the pulpit and the tongues and actions of good men raust convince them that the Sabbath Is a better day for men tokeep than Blue Monday. Tfaat active busi¬ nesa folks who work all day and half tfarougfa lbe night tor six successive daya and nights must then rest, not by atretching all day on beds or solas, by half-reading and half-sleeping, spoil¬ ing what is read by doging over it, and spoil¬ ing the sleep by reading in it,—not by lazily lounging about all day, wishing theday lobe done, eating to indigestion, and sleeping again to the utter loas of tfae night's sleep, but quiet-, ly turning the curreni of ihejr thoughts, away from the channels ihey generally pursue to irri¬ gate other fields;—by surrendering to medita¬ tion an hour or two, that one may see where fae is atanding and whither hia courae tends;—by giving all the labor that one performs to benefit the poor, by furnishing tbe ignorant inairuction, by. enlightening tfae darkened, by doing good to tfaose who have no others to do them good.— Thus tho thoughts seek other than ifaeir old gullied ways, they refresh the mind lhat is weary, calm the spirit that is disturbed, bring the soul into harmony with what is good, and give it impulses toward better and worthier ends. Yankees must sleep more al night, tbey must carry less steam through tbe week, drink less deeply of excitement, chase money with more prudence, and make lesa haste to be rich for aix days, or they must make more of their Sunday reating. If tfaey will.take it quietly on Sunday,they will find all their moderate excesses atoned for by its quiet, meditative andrepara- tory hours. But ifthey attempt to steal from Nature another day than they are given for the week's allowance, ahe will clip off a year pr two of iheir lives as indemnity for the paat. One day in aeven aman mual keep. And if he will not keep the Sabbath, coat what it will he muat keep Blue Monday,
A SiKQULiR Device.—A singular circum¬ stance, exhibiting in a remarkable degree the reflecting facultiea of a wolf, is related as having taken place at Signo-le-Petit, a amall town on the borders of Champagne. The iollowing par¬ ticulars are copied from an oxchange paper:—
A farmer, one day, looking through the hedge ofthe garden, observed a wolf walking round about his mulo, but unable togec at. hini, on account ofthe mule's constant kicking with hia hind legs. Aa the farmer perceived that his beast was so woll able to defend itself, he con¬ sidered it unnecessary to render bim any assis¬ tance. After the attack and defence had lasted fully a quarter of an hour, the wolf ran offto a neighboring ditch, where ¦ he several umea plunged into the water.. The farmer'imagined, he did thia to.refresh himself after thefatigne he had sustained, and had iio doubt tfaat his mule had gained a -complete victory; but in-a- lew minutea tfae wolf returned.to the charge, and ap* proached as near as fae could to the head of.the mule, shook himself, and "spirted a qnantity or water into the mule's eyes, which caused him immediaiely to shut them. Thai moment,the wolf leaped upon himand killed tfao poor inule before the farmer could como to his assistance;

That, indeed,"was tbe era of belief in nd other than theological mira¬ cles, ¦ Thefacta bf science were as incredible as the exaggerations whh which partially enlight¬ ened men tricked them out. Fanaticism had no other direction than such aa it gained from the wild teachingof John of Leyden, and-hisfellow madmen; always towards religioua mysticism; and away from wfaatever meagre claima to ot¬ tention tfae spurious sciences of astrology. and alchemy, the only sciences then enthusiastically cultivated, possessed. The credulity of threo ceniuriea ago would not only have excluded the discoveries and facts ofthia, but would have turned its back lipon tho marvels after wfaicfa we now go mad. There is needed aorae previoua educalion for the auccess bi the purest delusion. Men must have been forced, to believe great wondera, ihrough actual experience, before they credit greater, upon leas absolute tealimony. To ba'able to appeal to the miraculous developments resulting from mineral magnetism, is a great atep toward the admission of tbe mesmeric phenome¬ na. From mere animal magnetiam to clairvoy¬ ance was the easiest paasage ; from tfae clairvoy¬ ance to the crowning delusion of apiritual communication througfa pfayaical means, it re¬ quired no eapecial violence to proceed. The distance, measured slep by step from the mate¬ rialism of Mesmer to tfae, spiritualism of the Foxes and Fishes, was apparently trifling, and yet to reason and logic it is a gulf enlirely im¬ passable ; a distance for whicfa there is no rat ional standard of admeasurement. It is the verified roauU of modern science that has prepared men to believe anything ; to believe unconseqnently ; and to run wild after lhe monstrous absurdities of table-lifting and tipping and alphabetical gib¬ berish. The man who reada in the newspaper, that the foreign news by the Europa was received at New Orleans at 10 A. M., audits effect on the cotton and sugar markets declared here at noon, will tell you that he is " prepared to credit anyihing." The miracles of science countenance the miracles ui tho mountebank. The mock sun is the product ofihe real one.
The spirit-rapping mania is probably al its zeniifa. It has thriven as much through che '¦on- temptuous neglect of those who scorned it as from the receptivity of the throngs who em. braced it. Onr learned ond conservative doctors have generally declined to treat it aa a subject deservingatiemion. The iew who have entered lhe lists have mei with indifferent auccess. The premises and facia ofthe spiritualists faavo been adrailied when lhey should have been denied and put to searching proof. The a priori argu¬ ment against such hybrid and nondescript inter¬ course haa been stated feebly and inadequately. The assailants ol the humbug have nearly always allowed themselves to be put in a false position with regard to the iasue. Tfaey are always re¬ quired to prove a negative. If auch and sucb statementB admit ofoiher than a spiritual inter¬ pretation, tho skeptic ia told, pray explain them by your own more plauaible theory. Beguiled by this.fallaciou^poae ofthe case, the incautious reosoner is entrapped into an admission of ifae phenomena, and into a laborious effort to nega¬ tive tli9 explanations of his shrewd antagonists. His true attitude is thai of total denial. He should' insist upon lhe affirmative sustaining itself. He should call for pmof ihat exlra-natural agency had ever been demonstrably detected.— He may fearlessly undertake lo aifi tbe wbole catalogue of caaea produced for inspection- ile may count on finding ihcm a compound of fab¬ rications, impossible of verification; generali¬ ties, fiuacepiiblo of multitudinous meanings; references to inaccessible planets, or places or person's; or statements of fact and incident, to ifae knowledge ofwhich no supernal insiruciion is necesaary. He will find the replies to test questions more frequently erroneous than cor¬ rect ; and as the evidence/or the apirila reals on the success of their responses, he will see the proprieiy of admiiiing aa conclusive evidence ogainst them every deviation from the truth Ifhe separately examine the pretended witneses *o any aingle fact, we will nearly always detect fatal variation in their evidence.
The demonstration which tho spiritualists of thia quarier point to most confidently is an in¬ alance of a surgical operaiion performed on the wife ofa Brooklyn phyaician by agfaost. Ifyou are unconvinced, by a mere repetition of the story, you will be shown as unanswerable testi¬ mony tbe very morbid part cut away, the appear, ance of which certainly indicates the nicest surgical skill. The " solution of continuity" be¬ tween the fact and evidence is boidly bridged by tbe narrator, whowould doubtless laugh at the non seqiiitur in the old Wittenberg logend, that Luiher once had a hot corneal with Lucifer; for the wall of the Reformer's study is still djafig ured with the stain ofthe inkstand, wfaich he hurled at the Satanic head. And above all things, the investigator must be carefulh'ow he accepts the high character of any believer in rapping phenomena as evidence of their reality aince the votaries ol humbug are found among all degrees and qualities of men.
That the time haa come for the dissipation of this strange deluaion no one can doubt. A Ut¬ ile while ago, it was confined to this hemis¬ phere. Now it apreada all over Europe, and bids fair lo reach the verge oi Christendom.— Table rapping is the rage in Paris ond Belgium and Germany. Newspapers teem with the ab- aurdest stories. It certainly reveals nothing worth knowing. It declines lo supply the slighteal prool oi its utility. The testa to wbich il is invited, and which it would naturally sub¬ mit to, ifit dared, are refused. Blackwood refers to a challenge of long-aianding lo any clair¬ voyant, rapper, or what else, to reada line of Shakspeare, depoaiied in a sealed box; the challenge emanating from a scientific genlleman of world-wide reputation; and tfae reward of auccesa being; a very large sum of money. We have heard of a similar woger in this country, which no one ever had the audacity -to under¬ take. Not only doea the delusion avoid every means of satisfactory teat; and decline to make any developments tending to benefit the race or individuala. It inculcates the dreariest infi delity; and does more aerious damage to the religious sentirnent oftho age, than any infiu¬ ence it haa ever encouniered. And thus spread¬ ing over the world like a prairie-fire ; a mass ot incongruity, falsehood, unreason, imposture and infidelity, it invites the moat anxiona attention of thoughtful and conaervative men. .The hum¬ bug iiself may of itself perish; bat its irreligious offspring will survive inde.finitelj. It is-high time to cease laughing at the fantastic absurdity
ofthe monster;'anijgo.heartily ot work to de- Btroyit.   .
