WEIGHT OF WORDS.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1889.

over that line". He has.smoked too much. His wards are still the same words, but they have lost weight. An author who, supplements power with narcotice or stimulants will fail of permanent weight, or will lose weight. Indeed, words 'get thereby temporary value to the author, an inconsistent worth. I believe that habits of thoroughness cannot co exist for any length of time with the use of the cigar and pipe. The aid is temporary, and deceptive. I have in. mind one of the most popular of Boston preachers. He has ability of a high order, which he sustains freely with tobacco. But he has never written a line that will outlive himself Every word needs his presence, to give it weight. He pro- duces nothing inferior and yet nothing great. He relies more on his cigar and inspiration than on close study. He knows a good deal about great topics, but he knows no science or philo- sophy to the bottom. I believe this class of great detriment to writers and speakers is their hearers and readers. A book that compels, you to doubt, and yet does not enable you to solve your doubts, is an intellectual pest. Í have this same fault to find with the panderous Robert He is a fearless iconoclast. He is

·wondered at, for never had the English language:velously quick to see a weakness, He is

gilled with wit and sympathy, and scorn of lies. But the fact is, a thousand Robert Ingersolls would do nothing but rain dust and laughter. He does not rebuild or study the facts of science with thoroughness to enable him to build. He remains a mere destroyer, and is hated as such by all who dislike to be disturbed. Nor is there the least value in the orations that are aimed at his overthrow. It is verbiage, and these men might as well be engaged in throwing cabbage- heads at each other as words, Their words weigh with hate and scorn, but not as permanent contributions to truth and knowledge."

"I would give a hundred guineas," said Garrick, "if I could say Oh, as Whitefield docs." But Garrick's own power was in the immense weight he could put into words. He was as much an orator ns be was actor; and as great an actor as he was orator. It is said that When Jonathan Edwards preached on "Sinners in the hands of an angry God," his auditors screamed, and some fainted. It is not to be been called on to hold so much of diabolical wrath in the name of Infinite Goodness. In these days, the audience would tear the man from the desk and fling him into the street. But it was the theology of 1700, and it was uttered by the greatest pulpit orator of the age. When Bossuet in his funeral oration pronounced the words, "The Princess is dying-the Princess is dead," his listeners broke into such a wall of sobs and groans that he was unable to proceed. The same words might have been uttered so as to fall flat, and awaken not even attention. Bossuet weighed his words; and he made his words weigh. How Was it only that into words he put himself? When Whitefield said "Oh," it was not with his tongue, but with all bis soul. For said of Pitt that be not only had a word always at com- mand, but the word that best conveyed his meaning." It is said that Garrick once for a wager repeated the alphabet so that the listeners wept. Of course it was the amount of Garrick that he put in the hollow letters that did the work I remember when John B. Gough said to his audience, "I will tell you now what will happen; I will tell you the silliest story thehas left no nuggets nor any current coin, I do world. There is nothing in it to laugh at, but you will laugh. Then he told his story, and we all laughed till we were sore.

Voluminous authors are not always men of light words. Spain has produced few authors of more real power than Lope de Vega; but be pro- duced over two thousand original dramas: A Hallam says, he was the author of at least 22,300,000 lines. Yet, had De Vega written but

Of all the hard workers in journalism, Horace Greeley was the one who best knew the weight of a word, whether it was "Go West, young man" or "D-n.", There is no mistake about the precision and point of what he had to say. He said nothing for the sake of saying it. He will be quoted for a thousand years. Kaymond was even more voluminous as a writer, and was capable of great force and often used words Br full weight, but his writings will not live. He

Virgil! used up three years in writing ten short Eclogues, seven on his "Georgics," and upwards of twelve years on the " Æneid," Yet he is said to have been so dissatisfied with his work that he tried to rise from his death-bed to burn the latter work. It is well for us that he did not succeced; but it is equally grievous for us that thousands of other authors do not succeed in a similar effort. The curse of our age is a thin flow of words habit of verbal laxity. There are few authors who polish or revise. This is owing in part to the demands of our age for a enormous amount of reading matter, and in pari to the confidence we place in the twang and ring of words. Incisiveness, the cutting quality of words, is esteemed above weight. Of our living authors in the United States, Lowell has shown great discretion in the use of words, and has, white turning with versatility in many directions, always avoided outwriting his genius. His essays do not equal his poems, however, simply because ne essays, mostly critical, they do not surpass the general run of critical essay writing with which English reviews and Scotch reviewers have made us familiar. Dr. Holmes has sustained a remarkable evenness of power because he has made no attempt at vastness. His words are charged with a geniality, through out that has given him quite as much popular Jove as honor.

used words, used to tell with glee of a young

minister who boasted of his power to dash off sermons with ease at a sitting. "There," he cried, "I can write a sermon easily in an hour, and make nothing of it."

"Indeed," said the Doctor, "he did make no- thing of them. Young men, if you wish to win your hearers you must make something of your sermons. Words may be strung from here to Washington and have no value. It is not enough to talk about duty; you must talk duty. Your words must be obedient to an end, and be drilled to achieve."
