I It had ben a warm night at Pfaflfp. and afterward at the Jonea Ilouse. Willie Winter had propounded hia favorite theory that thia life is not worth living. IJarry Clapp, our private Socrates, had replied that the enjoyment of life depended entirely upon the liver. There had been an argument and beer; more argument and more beer; tn adjournment to Clappa room, and whisky to settle the beer and tho argument. At lat-t I started to walk down Broadway to the .Star Hotel, kept by the dear old Widaw II jlgson,in Leonard street, where I then resi !ed, and some blocks below Canal street I waa accosted by a little boy, who said, feebly but clearly: PIe&se, sir, will yer give me eoina work to do for yer?'' I looked down at the boy. All the employes necessary to my comfoil at tljit time were provided by the "Widow lLdgaon, at the hotel, aiid -Mr. Bennett, at the Herald office. The idea of my employing anybody was absurd. So I shook my head curtly, and walked on. "I can turn a hand to most anything," persisted the boy, keeping step with rue. "Why do you want work?" . 'Becos I'm busted and hungry," said the bor. Ifungry! That stopped me. I leaned against a lamp-post, ana began to question this little beggar for work. What's your name?'' "Paddy from Cork, they calls mo." "Are you from Cork?'' Dunn, sir." "Are you a Paddy?" Dunno." 'Who calls you so?" "T'other boys." "How old are you?" "Dunno." "Where's your father?" "Dunno.'' "Your mother?" "Dunno." "What do you do for a living?" "Sells papers when I kin git 'em run errands anythink." "Where do you sleep?" "Wherever I kin git a chance anywhere." "No home?" "No, I goes wid de boys down town." Don't remember where you were born, whether you ever had a father or mother, how you grew up don't know anything about it?" "No more'n I tell yer." "You say you are 'busted.' What does that mean?" "Got stuck wid me papers dead broke." "Uaven't been gambling heads and tails eh 7" "Got nothink to gamble wid." "Some big boy hasn't robbed you the usual story of your last hard-earned cent?" "Not much," cried the boy, with a flash of spirit, as if ne meant "1 should like to see him try it." "And you say you are hungry. Well, come along, and I'll get you something to eat." We wheeled about and walked up Broad wav until we came to one of those cellar restaurants open all night, whose coffee and cakes are still dear to the memories of old New Yorkers. Taddy from Cork mounted a stool at my invitation, and I politely in quired: "Well, what will you have? An oyster stew 7 "No," replied the bor, much' to my sur prise, for I had always found an oyster stew the highest luxury to which a beggar aspired. "o; slew's good, but they don't stay wid yer. Kin 1 have something solid, a plate of pork and beans?'' "Gixe the boy whatever he wanta," I said tn the landlord, and my guest was Boon eating Ike a famished wolf. ilis reply had struck me like a blow. He was not, apparently, more than nine or ten years Id. Think of an experience of hunger at that age, so shrewd and masterful that he .estimated the value of food by the length o time it would "stay with""him, and that he had learned to decline the luxtry of oysters in favor of coarser but more r'lfctantiat fare! I no longer smiled sujxv rwr upon Faddy Irom Cork. He had taught ne a lesson which I have never forgotten. Will you have a cup of eoffee?" I asked. "Like coffee, but water'- good 'nuff," he answered, with his mouth full. "Give him some coffee and a piece of pie, landlord. When you've eaten down that hunger, Paddy, I want to talk with you." He was a little boy, and dressed in rough clothe?, several sizes too big for him; a frock coat that dragged about his heels; one boot and one chee, both too large; an old Mt hat, slouched over his freckled face. His hands were dirty, and so, I suppose was his face, but 1 couldn't see that for the food & was Leaping before it. Wis only pre

possessing features were large, honest, blue eyes, that reminded me somehow of John Clancy's and a fresh, hearty voice that made his street slang musical. After he had disposed of all the supper he could hold, and had been armed against breakfast-time with a paper of beef sandwiches, we walked down Broadway agsin. 'You say you sell papers. How much capital do you want to start again?" "Eflhad a dollar I could get ahead; but fifty cents is 'nuff' for a starter." "What do you mean by 'get ahead?' " "O, save up somethink to make a big strike on wid a extry."

' You are talking about ruture capital; i am asking you about current expenses. You sy fifty cents are enough for 'a starter.' Suppose we split the difference, and say seventy-nve cents r now wouia mat aoi "The boy thought a moment as if calculating how many papers it would buy, and how much his profits would be. Then he answered briskly: "Good 'nuff! But where'm I going to get it from?" "I am going to lend it to you. Here it ia. Ifvou eet 'ahead' pay me back, and I'll lend it to some other boy. Good night, Paddv from Cork!" and I started across the street. Betöre I was half way over, he hailed me. "Say! You've give me a dollar 1" "Make a strike wid an extry,' Paddy I" "Say! When'll I see yer?" . "O, I'll hunt you up. Good night I" "Nicht' cried Paddy from Cork, and shuffled down Broadway, while I hurried to the Star Hotel before the other stars had faded. it. The next day was Sunday, and having to describe the funeral procession of Colonel Vosbureh. I was indebted to the hospitalities of my friends on the Spirit of the Times for a window in their office then on Broadway, near White 6treet. As I pushed through the crowd that was gathering to witness the procession, who should I see but Paddy from Cork, his hands lull of cheap likeneeses of the dead hero of the day, selling them as fast as he could count out the change, and ordering two other boys about as if they were his salesmen. His quick eyes caught mine, and he was beside me in a moment. "Goin' to stay here?" he Aked, impetuously. "No, I'm going to be at that window second from the corner, third floor see?'' . "Ail right," he replied, glancing up at it. "Jest take care of di9 till 1 kem back. 'JJoet sold out got to go'n git more picture 1" He had put a handful of small change into my hand and was worming his way down town through the crowd. Duty called. I pocketed the silver, went to the Spirit office, and soon forgot Paddy from Cork in making copy for the printers. But when the funeral procession had long since passed, the crowd was dispersing, and I was writing my last slip of description, the office messenger came in, looked about for Foster, and, seeing me alone, said: "There's a boy that says he wants to see his pard."' "His what?" "His 'pard' partner he means. Kind of newsboy. I don't know who he wants. Everybody's gone but you." "Hold on! I'm the partner he wants. I've got all his money. Let him in." In walked Paddy from Cork, looking out of the corner of his eye at the messenger, as I have seen a bulldog look when irritated. His scorn had no words. He threw down his hat, drew a chair to the table and sat opposite me. sociably but silently, until I had written "Shannaha follows," and laid aside my pen. "Now, Paddy, here's your cash. Count it and see that it's right." "Dunno how much iere was," said Paddy. "Neither do II We're a line pair of partners, Paddy, if you meant me when you asked for your 'pard.' " Paddy laughed because I did. Then suddenly becoming se.nous, he said: "Well, I know wot I had and wot I took, and it's soon flggered out." So it is, Paddy. Go ahead with your figures. How many papers did you buy?" "Oh, that's all right the papers is," said Paddy. ! sold out earlv; den I was told 'bout der picturs. Bought 'em six for a quarter, hold 'em ten cents apiece. Dey bought 'em like hot cakes. Kep' Big Bill and Frowsy on der jump getlin moren more all de way up. Den anudder gang struck der crowd and sold in ahead of me, So I quit and come here." Well, cour.t up, and let's see what you've made. Did you pay Bill and Frowsy "Ten cents every time, and dey moseyed me out'n five picturs aside. Said dey'd dropped' em in der crowd. Drop nothin'I Big Bill wouldn't drop a red-hot-boiler ef he wunst got 'is flippers on it! But one feller give me a quarter, and didn't take der change. and I got even. Kep' a pictur fur yer ef yer want it. And Paddy drew one of the portraits from some interior pocket, and puhcd it across the table. It was it is a small tintype of Colonel Voi.burgb, got up for a hasty sale, small profit and quid; returns. I knew Vosbureh well; dined with him often when the Seven ty-first New lork were stationed at the Washington Navy Yard. Perhaps that is the reason why I keep that tintype, in a frame much too large for it, until this day. We counted the cash. First, we put aside Paddy's original capital one dollar. Then his profit on the sales of his morning papers thirty cents. Then the profits on his tintype speculation six dollars and twenty-live cents. Total profit on his day's work, six dollars and filty cents. This would have been a good day's earnings for a man but for a boy not over tel And then the shrewdness with which he had seized upon the portrait speculation, and the boldness with which he had ventured all his capital and early morning profits! 1 told Paddy from Cork what I thought about it all, and his reply was as shrewd as his speculation: "Don't strike a percession every da. Got to lay back, and catch 'em on der juaip when dey come." I pushed the money over to Paddy. "Well you'll soon nave battles and extras enough. Go in and make your fortune." Paddy was fingering the money. All at once he pushed half of the heap back to me, and quietly proceeded to stow away the other half." " -What's this?" "Yer snacks." "Half of the six-fifty?" "And yer dollar?" "The dollar, if you like; but none of this belongs to me." "Been pards wid jer all. day. Wher'd I ben ef I'd hadn't got a dollar?" Paddy was evidently hurt. He showed no signs of crying, but looked at me. out of the corner of his eye as I had seen him look at the messenger. The youngster was gaining an influence over me which I resented, but was powerless to resist. I did not want to be bothered with a newsboy, and yet I could f no more order him to take the money and go or take his half of the money and go, than I could have floated out of the window and flown down to the Herald office. I studied his face while he looked sulkily at the money. Finally as he would not speak, I did. "Can you write?" "No." "KeadT" "No."

Will you go to night school and learn?" "What for?" "For well, for your 'pard.' " "Fur me pard yes, I will." "At the Cooper Institute?" "Yes." "Do you know where it is?" Yes." "Do you know Purdy's Savin es Bank in Clinton Hall, near the Institute?" "Sixpenny Savin's Bank?" Yes." "Yes." "All right. I'll put this money in that bank in your name. When you goto night school you can look over at the bank and say to yourself: 'There's my money.' If you need it before you can write your own name come to me at the Herald office. That's my name. I'll write it down and read it over to you, so that you wont forget it, and you can show this card if you do forget it." "Is yer a Herald man?" "Yes there's my name.'' Hookey! We's pards agin I" "What do you mean?" "Why, you writes der news and I sells it. Pards every timel" "What are you going to do with your half of the money f " "She goes inter der bank wid my pard's all but a dollar." "Take the odd dollar and a-half. Where do you sleep to-night?" "liodgin'-house five cents a bed." "Do you want your dinner? Any clothes 1 Anything?" "I'm staked for anythink."

"And if you get 'busted' again you'll come and cet your money? "That's all right! I'm pards wid a Her ald man, I am! 1 11 make a strike, surer ill. Tho next day I deposited in Turdy's bank $7 to the credit of myself as trustee for Patrick Cork. Elijah Purdy, better known as "the war horse,'' was a Jacksonian Demo crat, who believed in "hard money ' as the fire worshipers believed in the sun. When gold was at CO per cent, premium in Wall street he paid it over his counter at par. One day I withdrew my own money and Paddy's with it, sold the gold, and deposited $11 and twenty odd cents in another savings bank to the same trusteeship. Paddy called upon me at tho Herald office every week or two; never wanted any money; generally handed me a dollar or two to add to the firm fund. One day he astonished me by reading out the headlines of a paper that lay on my desk. Another day Ned Flynn brought mo a scrap of paper, roughly folded; but outside my name waa legiblv written, and inside were the words, "Paddy from Cork," in very creditable script. Events passed so quickly then that, like Dr. Young, we took note of time but by its loss. I tld Ned the Etory of Paddy, and added: "That boy has learned to read and write in three months." Ned laughed. Wc calculated dates. It was fourteen months since I had entered into my first partnership. "Bring him up, Ned, and lets congratulate him." Paddy from Cork appeared, not much improved in personal appearance, but very proud of his accomplishments, and with more money to put in tho bank. He had now ever $30 on deposit; but no persuasion could induce him to draw out any of it to provide himself with better clothing or more comfortable lodging. The instinct of a miser had been aroused I imagined; soon afterward, being admitted to the corner in Harlem slock, I put Paddy's money in with my own, and drew out $G from the corner for every dollar invested. When Paddy from Cork turned up again. I had the pleasure of informing him that he was a capitalist, that he had over $200 out at interest, and that there was his bank book, made out in his own name now, since he could sign it as well as I, and my trusteeship was over. "Ain't we pards no more?" asked Paddy. 'As long as you like ; but 1 am going off to the war now, and you must take charge of the money." "Well," said Paddy, slowly, "I've had a streak of luck ever since we've been pards, and don't want no money. You keep der book." "But you can't draw any money out of the bank without the book." "Don't want tcr." "What will you do slay, you can pay in any amount you like, if you're so flush. This is the form. All you have got to say is that I have the book, and the bank will take all the money you bring. Understand?" IV. Paddy understood well enough, as I discovered when I returned from the front and found a note from the bank bookkeeper asking me to send the book to be written up How Paddy had lived during these months 1 never knew; but he had paid in an average of $5 a week to his credit. Those were war times; money was plentiful; extras were issued almost hourly; newsboys shared in the general prosperity. Once in a while after my return not often Paddy dropped in to see me and report progress. A speculation in Erie, when he was counted in, because I imagine'.that he would bring me the same luck that he imagined I had brought him, nearly doubled his capital. In 18U6, when I sailed away to England at two days' notice, I squared up Paddy's accounts, among others, expecting that the party with which I was to embark, would certainly go to the bottom. A personal interview with Paddy from Cork would not have convinced him that he ought to take his money. So I left his bank book and an explanatory letter with Ned Flynn, to be given to Paddy when when he called to see me. He was, ät that date, about fifteen years of age, and his possessions on deposit amounted to over $C00. I advised him in my letter, to buy or rent a news stand in some hotel, and inclosed him my card of introduction to the Leland. then the reigning family of hotel keepers. Paddy sold the papers announcing the departure of the yacht upon which I was a passenger, but never knew that I was gone until long after I had visited the city of Cork and wandered about its quaint streets, wonder ing which of them had been the birthplace of my partner. Years slipped away, and if I ever remembered Paddy from Cork it was when other partners displayed very different qualities from those that distinguished that straightforward, honest, industrious and affectionae boy. The contrasts might be made striking, but to tell the exact truth, aa everybody ought to do in a Christmas number, I do not remember that I ever remembered my first partner until, eight years afterward, I landed in New York and revived old recollections, friendships and acquaintances. Then I asked about Paddy, but nobody knew his whereabouts or his fate. I called at the savings bank and inquired whether Patrick Cork still kept an account there. The clerk referred me to the President, to whom I made myself known, and repeated my inquiry. Ahe rresiaent sent to tne bookkeeper for the information. "Yes," at length was the answer, "Patrick Cork has an account here." "A large account?" The bookkeeper looked at the President, who nodded that he should answer. "No, sir: mot a large account. We should call it a medium account." What do you call a medium account under $100?''

W.well, iir," still with an eye upon the President, "we should call undar $500 a medium account, sir, at this bank." Can you give Mr. Cork's address?" "I'll look it up, sir," the President having nodded acquiescence. Then, after some minutes, he returned to say, The only address we have, sir, is seven years old: New York Herald Office, in care of " 'Thank you; I know that address," I interrupted. "Very much obliged to you." And so made my compliments to the President, and withdrew. Paddy from Cork was not in distress, for he had not drawn out all his money. But some of it he had withdrawn within a year after my departure. Evidently he was all right or dead. vr. For an hour or so I discussed the proba

bilities: then other interests supervened, and Paddy was again forgotten. I began to read Shakspeare's line reversed, and from believing that All the world's a stage I became convinced that the stage is all the world. In short, I exchanged journalism for theatrical management. Again the years supped by. My name was regularly adver Used; often it was kindly mentioned in the reading matter by some old comrade who had not learned that a journalist should never speak well of other journalists lest the public should entertain too good an opinion of the press. In the midst of a rehearsal with a stubborn star, who, partly from ignorance of the traditions of the stage, ana partly from an idea that alterations showed originality, insisted upon having the entrances and exits changed door li, altered to door -L; window 2 E. L. to window 3 E. R.; platform C. to platform I h., and such important im provements, which necessitated the cutting and repainting of most of the scenerycard was brought to me from a stationer. "Who is it, Aaron?" "1 don't know, sir." "Is it the man from whom we get our pa pers? ' "No, sir. We get the papers from Ty son 7" . "Tell him to call at 3 o'clock." ' "He says he has called three times, sir, and wants to see you particular. Says you'll know his name. ' "Tell him why don't you lower that second border? Get new border lines if you can't gauge them! Lower! That's it Stop! Eh! Tellhim ." But Aaron had vanished. All through the rehearsal I held the card unconsciously in my hand: bat when, the rehearsal over, and the grumbling star dismissed, with an invocation to Heaven, at last 1 saw the name at the top of it: P Cork, Stationer and News Dealer. I shouted at once for a coupe, ana was driven at once to the address on Third avenuo. There, sure enough, was my First Partner in a shop crammed with literature, fancy article?, odds and ends of patented toilet ornaments, and all sorts of stuff left on sale, with a board covered with news papers outside the door, and a table covered with cheap library issues opposite the coun ter. I recognized at once the blue eyes and the frank, honest face; but the dirty newsboy of 1802 was transformed into the respectable tradesman of 1877. From a door at the bacx of the shop a pretty, buxom young woman emerged, a baby at her breast and a youngster clinging to her skirts. Your wife?" "Y'es, sir and this is vour namesake, sir. ana mis is mine i "Half and half ! So we're partners in the boys, too? And this is what you did with your money, eh ?' "Yes, sir; but your half is in the bank yet, I never touched it nor needed it." "My share? Why, what a goose vou are, Paddy. Don't you see that it belongs to my namesake he re 7 1 cu ought to have put it in his name. "Dinner's ready Pat," said the wife, some what confused by the riot :n the shop, which she hardly understood. "Dinner!" cried Paddv. "Don't bother me when I'm talking to my old partner." "And thi3 is Christmas Eve," said the wife, "and the turkey'll be cold if you leave it.'' "We won't leave it. Put it on a plate for me and let me show you how to tackle a turkey, dear old Paddy from Cork? O, you always have a drumstick, do you? well, tneres one lor eacnot us. rui up your glass, Paddy from Cork, and vours, my first partner's wife, and here's a toast you'll not refuse to drink. Long life to my namesake there and to Paddy from New York, and may we all dine as well together on many ennstmas Jvesi" Philosophy of Nihilism. The principles of this philosophy of nega tion may be gathered from the following ex tracts: "This gospel admits of no half mens urea and hesitations. The old world must be destroyed and replaced by a new one, The lie raut be stamped out and give way to truth. It is our mission to destroy the lie, and to effect this we must begin at the very commencement Now, the beginning of all those lies which have ground down this poor world in slavery is God. Tear out of vour hearts the belief in the existence of God, for so long as an atom or that silly superstition remains in your minds you will never know what free dom is. When you have got rid of the belief in this priest-beROtten God, and when. moreover, you are convinced that your existence and that or the surrounding world is due to the conglomeration of atoms in accordance with the laws of gravity and attraction, then and then only you will have accomplished the first step toward liberty, and von will experience less difficulty m nddinc your minds of that second liewhich tryanny has invented. The lirst lie is God. the second lie is right. Might invented the fiction of right in order to insure and strengthen her reign. Might, my friends, forms the sole croundwork of societv.

But in order to get this law recognized and to briDg about the proper relations which should exist between the majority and minority of mankind must destroy every thing which exists in the shape" of Sta'te or social organizations. Our first work must be destruction and annihilation of everything as it now exists. You must accustom yoursehes to destroy everything the good with the bad. For, if an atom of this old world remains, the new will never be created. Take heed that no ark be allowed to rescue any atom of this old world, which we consecrate to destruction." A young lady has a Sunday-school class of rather bright boys, nveragirg between seven and nine years. Recently she requested etch pupil to come on the following Sunday with some passage of Scripture bearing on love. The lads heeded the request, and in turn recited their verses bearing uion that popular topi5 such as "Love your enemies," "Little children, love one another," etc The teacher said to the boy whose turn came last, "Well, Robbie, what is your verse?" Rising, lie responded, "iSong of Solomon, ii., 5 'Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples"; for I am sick of love.' "

Park College, in Missouri, is preparing thirty-one young men for the Presbyteriau ministry. A "Society for the Propagation of the Jewish Faith." with its headquarters in Berlin, Germany, is a new thing in Jewish history. Religion is often regarded as a "sweet and lovely" thing. Yet sweetness without strength is far removed from Christ and Christ's.disciples The Churchman. Earnest prayer and honest work with a hojeful spirit each minister in his own place, every parent in his own family, each teacher in his own class, every Church among its own members and community will give . the beat results. Chritiaa Advocate. Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D., says in the Independent that "Utah should be dynamited. It is a stench heap, and needs a brimstone cure. It is as unsavory and unhealthy to the rest of the Union as the Long Island City smell manufactories are to the meek and patient citizens of New York." "My brethren," said a Western niinittcr, 'the preaching of the Gospel to some people is like pouring water over a sponge it soaks in and stays. To others it is like the wind blowing through a chicken-coop. My ex--erionce of this congregation is, that it con tains more chicken-coops than sponges. Moundville Presbyterian. The pastor of a Church in AVeatberford, Tex., recently entertained his congregation from the text: "And Pharaoh commanded to give the children of Israel no more straw." After saying that straw is an im portant article, good for mourners at camp meetings and not bad for beas. besides hav ing been used in old times for making bricks, this pastor proceeded to pitch into one of the I hurch Deacons who had been circulating unpleasant rumors about him. Jlesaid: "l'haraoh s mean, ignoble and tin principled conduct can only be equalled by a Deacon of the Church in circulating rumors and reports hurtful to the pastor'B reputation and influence, which reports are unqualifiedly false." Then he told a fable about a wolf . and a goat who were nguung, wneu suuueuiy tne air became filled with buzzard. "Breth ren, said tne preacher with great earnestness, -me ouzzaras are in the air, over this Church.' The congregation were divided in opinion as to whom the allered buzzards ought to go for first, whether the deacon or the pastor. The pastor continued "Brethren, only straw should be given this deacon, and until grass rises, then, like Ne buchadnezzar, let lam graze." The sermon was not calculated to be spiritually editvine, especially to the deacon's adherents. His not astonishing that at the business meeting e l t ! i. i l i r l i . i oi me tuiiau, ueiu a lew iiignis later, ine members were out in full force. There-was a revival not of religion, but of pugnacity One member said something about the bray ing of the jackass in the lion's skin, whih another remarked: "If this thing goes on longer it will boil many degrees hotter, unless more praTer is used." The impression among the outsiders is that this Church, which is of the Baptist persuasion, is immersed in hot water, and needs to be set away somewhere in a desert place, to cool on. rOPUl-AR SCIENCE.

During the year 1878 Germany used tobac co worth 303,000,000 marks, which brought a revenue to the Government of 2b333,96V marks. The quantity :sed amounted to 2,i;x),000 hundred-weights, and of this 582. COO had been smoked in the shape of cigars. Reckoning 100 cigars to a pound in weight. the number of cigars consumed in ls8 would be more than 7,000,000,000, or enough to give 10.000,000 smokers two cigars a dav all the year around. Besides in cigars, the Germans smoked 1,327,200 hundred-weights of tobacco in other forms. They snuffed 1G0.GO0 hun dred weights, and they chewed 14,200 hundred-weights. More than one-third of all this tobacco was grown bv Germany itself. mainly in Rhenish Bavaria, Baden, South Hesse and Al3ace-Ixrraine. The Chemical News gives the following ac count of an experiment by T. Gross: The purest commercial milk of sulphur was mixed with linseed oil in nearly equal parts. and then gradually heated in a wide caiule. Offensive vapors were given off, the mass swelled up strongly, and then remained a black porotis body, which will not burn like sulphur. When the finely-pulverized black mass was heited with pure concentrated sulphuric acid, sulphurous acid was evolved, and there remained a liouid reseniblins sirupy sulphur, from which sulphuretted hydrogen threw down a substance soluble in ammonium sulphide a fact which Gross considers new. lie has grave doubts of the elementary character of. sulphur, and he is about to test whether it is not really a compound body. Home Influences. iMrs. S. D. Rice. It was Napoleon who said that the char acter and fate of the child was the work of the Mother. Largely this is true, though not in a sense to exclude the influence of the father, especially in the case of boys. The child is often left to the mothers care. A double duty is ners: to that which God gave is added that which man shifted unon her. and witli her rests the whole work of preparing her child for the grave encounters or life, in how manv homes does a mother's intercourse with ner children alternate between caressing indulgence

and pettish faultfinding? In bow many are the bodies pampered. and dressed, children reduced to mere ornaments to gratify Pater

Nearly four years' experience as a teacher has shown me how little I truly know of a subject until I begin to explain it or teach it, Lt any young pe-son try the experiment of giving hi convention briefly and connectedly, and in the simplest language, tne chief points of any book or article he had read, and he will at once see what I mean. The gaps that are likely to appear in the knowledge that he felt was his own will no doubt be surprising. I know of no training superior to this in utilizing one's reading, in strengthening the memory and in forming habits of clear, connected statement. It will doubtless teach other things than those I have mentioned, which the persons who honestly make the exerinient will find out for themselves. Children who read can be encouraged to give, in a familiar way, the interesting parts of the books they have read, with great advantage to all concerned. More than one youth 1 know has laid the foundation of intellectual tastes in a New England family, where hearty encouragement was given to children and adults in their attempts to sketch the lectures they have heard the evening previous.
