OLD SAYINGS.
SUL'ItCE OF UMiKCOGXlZED OUOTA
TIOXS. Pilfered Authers Hew the World Takes
Their timid Things Without Giving
Credit Kewritlng ShaK
speare. Londen Queen in a vet-eat issue says :
"Tiie English language is from time te
time enriched by striking phrases and
hapny turns ei expression, which take
such deep ami sympathetic root in the pop
ular vocabulary, and enter into such com
mon tthe, that their authorship is almost
invariably overlooked. -Many et them are
regarded somewhat in the light of prov
erbs, and aie treated as though they be
longed te no one in particular, but te soci
ety at lat tie ; and none of these te which
we allude aie usually invested with these
lUYCiicu commas l inei: i ijuuuimuuk
they are in reality entitled. Thus does the
wet Id rob and then forget its benefactors.
Shakspeare was, of course, was a large
coiner of these sayings ; but, siuce iu these
days theie is but little danger of his repu
tation being injured, wc may leave him
aside while we iceall a few unrecognized
quotation-, front less carefully tended auth
ors. Of the.-e Samuci Butler is perhaps euc
of the most neglected. " True Blue," for
instance, is se ordinary a phrase that wc
seldom stay te make inquiries about its
origin ; yet ve might, if wc looked, Jind
that the author of " lludibras " used it te
characterize, net the Tery of his day, but
the Presbyterian. He also it was who, as
far as we have been able te discover, lirst
introduced the expression, " the main
chance,'" in its modern meaning. Have
a eate of the main chance,'" he wrote ; and
Dryden, possibly copying him, caused one
of the characters in " Perseus" te exclaim,
"lie vaieful still of the main chance." AVe
speak of a sharp witted fellow "outrun
ning the ci nistii hie ;'" and again wc are
unconsciously beholden te Butler's
1'ricud Ititlpli, tiieu ha-t
Outrun the constable at hfjl.
And once mere we echo him when we
speak of "getting the wrong sew by the
car," for he wrelc. ,4 Yeu have a wrong
sew by the car."
A net her similarly ill-treated author is
Alexander Pepe. Ve pass ever such com cem
patativcly well-recognized quotations as
"Feels rush iu where angels fear te tread;"
but it is net generally remembered that he
gave us the c.xpicssieiss "dirty work" and
"poetic justice." The one occurs in the
' Epistle te Aib'tthnet " and the ether iu
the " Dunciad." His age was indeed pre
lilic of telling phrases. iJcan Swift, in
The Tnle of (he Tub, lirst alluded te bread
as " She stall' of life ;' Dryden, in (Ktlipun,
lir&t originated the idea of "a green old
age
of
anil Tope himself was the author
llainii uitli lain! niuisc, assent with civil leer,
And, without Miecriiifj. teach the rest te sneer,
as well as the still were hackneyed
Who shall decide when doctors ilWiigrcc.
nd Mmiidc-d cuMiUisdoubtlikcyeii and me".
Yet extracts from far mere widely read
books than Pepe's ".Meral Essays"' arc
daily quoted without recognition. When
we speak of "a feast of fat things," it
may be that some of us rightly attribute
the phrase te its author, the prophet
Isaiah ; but it does net appear te be as
generally remembered that "death in the
pet' comes in us from the second book of
Kings, and "darkness which may be felt"
is tlie literary property of the author of
the book of Exodus A plav is entitled
"The Mighty DeMar." Vhy u'et "al
mighty'.'" for the name is obviously bor
rowed front Washington Irving', who, in
" The Creele Village," wrote of "the al
mighty dollar, that object of universal de
votion throughout the land."' The quota
tion is well-nigh forgotten ; and that per
haps is the i canon why it is incoherently
cited. The same may be said of ethers.
Most people cherish an idea that some one
once, wrote of " Beauty when unadorned
adorned the tue.-t ; " but the text, as given
iu Thompson's "Setseii." really is :
Levlincss
Need- net the l'eiei.411 aid of ornament
P.ut is, when uuaderu'd, a.leru'd the most.
And the same way Prier's
Fine by decrees and beautifully h-.-
is commonly deformed and transformed ;
and Cowper's reieicucete
Tlic cup-! that cheer but net inebriate,
is usually rendered as referring te one cup
only. We are, however, wandering a lit
tle from our subject. Otic stereotyped al
lusion te the brevity and infrcqueiicy of
angelic visitations may be traced te any
euc e!" some three or four sources. Merris,
in "The Palling " wrote :
Likeaii,el" vi.-dts, -hert and bright.
This was about the year 1711; and Biatr,
in "The (."rave," wietc later of
Viits,
LiUe the-e of anjrel.-s liert and far between:
The expression "a dim religious light"
may be found in .Milten's "Pcnsero.se,"and
the commenly-icpcatcd saw that "ab
sence makes the heat t grew fender." is te
be disceveted in T. II. Bay ley's song,
"Isle el Beauty."'
Celley (Jibber, as almost every one is
aware, took into his head that he could
greatly improve upon Shakespeare's trag
edy, A7w7 llklttird III., and in the pur
suance of this idea he made various addi
tions te the play, many of which have,
curiously enough, entered, as it were, into
the language. Among l licsu wc may no
tice, "Se much for Buckingham!"
" Richard's himsell again!"' and "My
soul's in arms and eager ler the fray ;"
but in spite of them, Mr. (Jibber's tinker
ing, though gratefully tfdepted by mere
than one great actor, has new fallen into
well-merited disrepute. In criticising
Leitl Beaeenslield's speeches hostile pa
pers are fend of making effective refer
ence te "apt alliteration's artful aid," but
they seldom, if indeed ever, allow
Churchill, the satirist, any credit for the
phrase. Mr. O'Connor, tee, if wc remem
ber rightly, has written of the Conserva
tive statesman as "the gay Lothario of
"peli ics." Hew many persons, wc wonder,
recollect that thcerigitia! "gay Lothario"
is one of the characters in Kewc's tragedy,
I " The Fair Penitent?" Then, again, the
"phrase "comparisons are odious" is
almost invariably written without quota
tion marks. It eccursin Burten's " Anat
omy of Melancholy " and also in Herbert's
"Jacuia Prudentum," and Shakspcarc,
in "Much Ade About Nothing," says
"comparisons arc odorous." A literary
journal of some standing recently made
itself a laughing-stock by remarking that
this was net classical English a quite
suflicient proof that even he whom Ben
Jehnsen called "sweet swan of Aven" is
net as well known as he ought te be.
The origin of the term " the midnight
oil," is hard te trace ; but it occurs in
Quarlcs, in Shcnstenc and. in Gay, and
was probably invented by the first. "Devil
take the hindmost" opens another diffi
cult problem ; but.pcrhaps, Beaumont and
Fletcher may claim the phrase, which was
used in later days by Butler, Prier, Pepe,
Burns, and half dozen mere. "Diamond
cut diamond" is traceable te Ferd's Lener's
Melancholy, where it may be found in the
form "diamonds cut diamonds;" and the
expression "neither fish nor flesh nor geed
red herring" seems te belong te Sir H.
Sheers. "Turn ever a new leaf," says
Hiddieten, iu Anything for a Quiet Life,
and it was Mrs. Malaprep, iu Sheridan's
The BitaU, who first owned the "soft im
peachment." Oliver Goldsmith, iu The
Geed Matured Man, wrote " measures.
net men, have always been my mark;"
and Burke, doubtless alluding te the pep-
ulaiity of the phrase in his days, spoke of
" the eant of ' uet men, but measures.' "
Te Milten we ewe the saying that
Peace hath her victories.
Ne less renowned than war :
and it was Goldsmith again, who. iu She
Steeps te C'engucr, introduced us te the
" very pink of perfection." Every one
must be acquainted with the amusing epi
sode of Tweedledum and Twccdledee, as
described by the clever author of " Alice
in Wonderland ;" but few arc aware that
the quaint names were originally coined
for the benefit of Handel ami his enemy
Bouenciui, and it was Byren who wrote :
Seme say, cempur'd le Uonencini.
That Mynheer Handel's but a ninny :
Others aver that he le Handel
l-i scarcely fit le bold a caudle.
Strange all this difference should be
'Twist Tweedledum and Tweedledcc.
Yet, after all, there was a real and sub
stantial difference, for Handel's name will
never forgotten, while that of Bouencini
may be said never te have lived at all. It
was Thomsen who first spoke of "teach
ing the young idea hew te sheet," aud it
was Bacen who enunciated the aphorism
that " Knowledge is power."
An Era of Geed Feeling.
Louisville Courier Journal.
Sectionalism, which is compounded in
about equal parts from pre.vineiaIi.sm and
partyism, produces, iu its outer manifes
tation, many icpicscntativc types.
There is the theoretic sectionalism like
Whitclaw Reid, and there is the inflamed
sectionalism like Wendell Phillips. There
is the motherly old Saircy Gamp sectional
ism like Jeseph Mediil, atul there is the
wilful, bc-dam'd-if-hc-den't-be sectional
ism like Murat Halstead. Then we have
the morbid, philosophic sectionalism like
the wicked partners of the Truly Geed
Richard Smith ; the frisky sectional ist,
like Jim Blaine ; the slobbering section
alism like Henry Ward Beecher : the
lierv, untamed sectionalism like Beb In-
gersell ; and cold, crafty, aud calculating
sectionalists, like Roscec Colliding aud
Jehn Sherman ; and finally, quite a riff
raff of echoing, second-hand fectietialists,
like President Woolsey, of Yale college.
Such babbling, pharisaic seelieiialisls as
Beut well aud the Southern idiot who pro
poses Jeff Davis for next president id" the
United States are net worth mentioning ;
which reminds us, however, that, at the
Seuth there is but one sectieualist of ua !
tienal reputation. j
Rebert Toombs is a sectieualist "en .
principle." He is neither a provincial nor j
a. partisan. A man of large brain and
travel, lieh. obstreperous, aud vain hav- ,
ing enjoyed all the honors his sectional- j
ism is a play of etic charactci aud one act; 1
for he is a pet-seu that does net care
whether school keeps or is dismissed, and
is perfectly willing te perform en occasion
for these who will make the most of him. j
Yet, 011 the whole, he is quite as sincere '
as the Northern sectionalists we have '
named, which is le say that, where lie is
net wrong-headed, being always perverse, '
he is simply acting the part set down
upon the bills by conceit aud thrift. j
We de net mean te be undcistned as ex- j
pressing the opinion that all scclienalists 1
sire insincere, for that would be te make !
no allowance for the existence of honest
feels in the world. Leaders, however, I
have no right te claim immunity under J
this head : and, as -sectionalism is streaked ;
through and through with ignorance, they .
can only plead interest or malice. Indeed, '
they themselves betray a certain con
sciousness of this, for they aie perpetually
shifting about and about, varying then
tone and their posture, making one excuse
te-day and another te-morrow, as if
ashamed, as they ought te be, of their '
narrow and prescriptive spirit.
When we quit the leaders an I go in
search of sectionalists among the rank and
file we find of course plenty of them,
North and Seuth. But there is this dif
ference in favor of the Southern ever the
Northern sectionalism The one is full el
aggression sweeping iuhis asseitieus, in
discriminate iu his charges, aud backed by
the newspapers of his section and the en
ginery of the government, aiming first te
prescribe then te ruin, and finally te ex-,
terminate. The ether, whatever his faults
his short sightedncss, his het temper
and his lack of information is at least the
defender of his manhood and his home,
and thp, habits, the customs, and' the tra
ditions thereof. If the Seuth does net be
come an Ireland, it will net for the reason
that the Republican party has net done all
it could te make it se. It will net become
an Ireland. It is destined te be rich aud ,
strong; and it will ewe its wealth 1
and power te the sturdy defeuss
it has set against the mad devices
of sectionalism, which, but for the
character of the Southern people, would
have etc new engulfed the whole country
iu destruction it planned for a part.
Happily the Seuth, as a section, is out of J
the weeds. The coming administration ,
can de uething te the Seuth which -v ill
net hurt the Republican party mere than
it will hurt the Seuth. It will carry into
elfect it will attempt te carry into effect
the blatant jabber of its sectional advisers
at its peril. Frem a partisan standpoint
we can afford te invite it te let itself in en
just as stalwart a line as it likes. Wc can '
afford te dare it, te defy it, te despise it.
Nay, wc can even afford te support it when-'
ever it has the right en its side. But there
is euc thing we cannot afford. We cannot
afford te have the wrong en ours. j
The Seuth has a start new and a geed 1
one. The election of Garfield has done at j
least one excellent thing. It has extin '
guished in the average Southern heart
the expectancy, the hope of ofScev It has j
turned the Southern mind te business. Te
realize en this latter, the Seuth has te
rely upon herself, and the time has ceme
te put forward, sincerely and energetically ;
the agency and the arts of peace. There
is as little crime in the Seuth as in the
North ; but that is beside the purpose.
The are ciimcs among us which are con
spicuous and transparent, and wc need
te address ourselves te these. Above all,
however, we need te suppress seutimcntal
politics and politicians, te discourage
blatherskites aud blathcrskitiug, te
lengthen the tail and curtail the
ruffle upon our skirt. There has
been a geed dial of waste or
raw material; and, as we are going
largely into manufacturing, we maj
as well begin te ccouemize. He will get
en best in life who knows most, and knows
it accurately. The sectionalists of the
North have for years deceived themselves.
Deceiving themselves, they have misled
us. Let them take the federal machine
and run it exclusively, while we bestir
ourselves, and when wc have grown rich
and strong they will have dene se ill with
it, that, if we care te, we can buy it. We
can, meanwhile, qualify ourselves for na
tional administration by geed local admin
istration iu the Seuth. Te this end has
sectionalism come, that it is making feels
j in the North, who howl, and wise men at
the Seuth, who work, foretokening in the
future a complete reversal of relative
places.
The " era of geed feeling," about which
we hear se much, is sheer slush and gush.
Anytime these ten years there ha been
geed feeling enough for all practical pur
poses. There will never, peruaps, come a
time when sectionalism will net be mount
ed by sectionalists te serve some party
purpose. Te day it is tlie North and the
Seuth. Te-morrow it may be the East
and the West. The meaning of it is that
in a free land parties exist and ought te
exist. Only imperialists and mollycoddles
want te abolish patties. Party feeling in
deed should be checked. Partisan rascal
ity should be punished. Politicians
should be taught that, because a man be
comes a party leader or manager, he docs
net necessarily cease te be a gentleman ;
and that, no matter what party we belong
te, we arc still fellow-citizens, who, against
a foreign enemy, put our country above all
party, and, iu home affairs, require of all
parties decent observance of the rules of
common honesty curieut among men.
