THE EXPOSITOR WAYNESBORO’, QA., SO£B€RIPTION PRICK—IN ADV.t.H'K: Two Dollars por Annum. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1872. The Mechanics. Pew realize, until reminded of tlie fact, the vast work done by mechanics and artists in the civilized world; that without mechanics civilization would be impossible. Who built all of our cities, our vil lages, every hamlet and cottffge in the laud ? Mechanics. Who built every ship, steamer, ves sel and water craft that floats on every ocean, and plows the surfhee of every river ? Mechanics. Who printed every Bible, hymu book and newspaper, printed and bound every printed volume on the face of the globe ? Mechanics. Who constructed all the factories and workshops on earth, and who runs them ? Mechanics. W T ho constructs all our linos of rail rords, their locomotives and cars, the Pullman cars and all the telegraph lines ? Mechanics. Who makes every instrument of music, from the organ down to the jews harp ? Mechanics. Who makes all agricultural imple ments for cultivating the soil, all nauti cal instruments for the navigation of the ocean ? Mechanics. Who makes all the magnificent furni ture that ornaments the mansions of the rich—carpets, mantel ornaments, silver and china table service ? Mechanics. Who makes all of the jewelry that adorn the persons of the ladies ? Me chanics. . What would the civilized world be without mechanics ? A waste, howling wilderness, and man a barbarian. ♦ t . For Grammarians. —The Hudson Register deals humorously with a ques tion of grammar, as follows : "A searcher after truth writes to us, ‘Which is grammatically correct, to say ‘The house is building,’ or ‘The house is being built‘The street is paving,’ or ‘The street is being paved ?’ There is a wide diversity of opinion upon this subject, but we incline to favor ‘is being built,’ for the following reason : Sup pose you wish to express another kind of idea, would you say, for instance, ‘Johnny is spanking,’ or ‘Johnny is being spanked ?’ The difference to you may seem immaterial, but it is a mat ter of considerable importance to Johnny and it is probable that, if any choice were given him, he would suddenly select the former alternative. You say, again, that the “missionary is eating.’ Certainly this expresses a very different and much pleasanter idea than the form, ‘The missionary is being eaten,’ and the sensation is very different for the missionary, too. We have consulted several missionaries about it, they all seem to think that the two things arc somehow not the same, no matter wbat the grammarians say. “But it is to be confessed that there are occasions when the difference in the form is not so marked. You assert, we say, that “Hannah is hugging”— which by the way, would be a very im proper thing for Hannah to do ; it would be positively scandalous, indeed. Precisely a similar idea is conveyed if you say, “Hannah is being hugged,” because it is a peculiarity of the act that it is hardly ever onesided; there is no selfishness about it. And it is the same with kissing. “Jane is kissing” —and.her mother ought to know about it if she is—is just exactly as if we say, “Jane is beings kissedand the sensa tion is the same, although none of the grammars, by a singular inadveitance, mention the fact. It will not be ne cessary, however, for our correspondent to attempt ' prove these last mentioned facts by practice. He must take our word for them. Unless he does so we shall answer no more questions iu syn tax for him or any one else. Our duty is to conserve the morals of the com munity, not to start the people to play ing private games of Copenhagen.” ♦—#. - A Horse Note. — P. returned a bor rowed horse to the owner with a note saying—“l return, by the bearer, your Horse. Yousee I spell him with a capital H because he starts off so capitally,” and received in reply this : “HorsE all right, I spell him with a capital E be cause, however capitally he may start off, he comes to a stop with greatest ease.’ Tub Tar’s First Kid*.—The follow iug description of a sailor’s first ride, from a recent English novel, is a fino bit. of humorous Writing, and truo to the life: “Therefore, arising betimes, I hired a very fine horse, and manning him bravely, laid his head east and by south, as neur as might be according to our binnacle. But though the wind was abaft the beam, and tide and all in his favor, and a brave commander upon his poop, what did lie do but. houso his stem and run out his spanker driver, and up with his taffrail, as if I was wearing him in a thundering heavy sea. I resolved to got the upper hand of this uncalled far mutiny, and the moro so because all our crew were gazing, and at the fair I had laid down the law very strictly concerning horses. I slipped my feet out of the chains, for fear of my sudden capsize, and then I rapped him over tho cat heads where his auchor ought to hang. Ife, however, instead of doing at all what I expected, up with his bow sprit and down with his quar ter, as if struck by a whale under his fore foot. This was so far from true seamanship, and proved him to be so un built for sailing, that I was oontent to disembark over his stem, and with j slight concussions. ‘Never say die,’ has . always been my motto, and always will j be; nailing my colors to tho mast, I embarked upon another horse of less than half the tonnage of that one who would not answer helm. And this craft, being broken-backed, with a strange sound at her portholes, could not under ] press of sail bowl along more than four j knots an hour. And we adjusted mat ters between us so that when she was tired I also was sore, and therefore , disembarked and towed her until we were both fit for sea again. Therefore it. must have been good meridian when I met Parson Chowne near his house.” Newsp.i pc :rs,Magassshk-^E tc. THE T< ntli Volume of Wood’s Household Magazine begins with January 1872.
