V-- continued from 2J page grew in culture they came into fre quent uso. So, many ot our own Avords came from tliis source that we aro constantly spii.kinj: Greek and Latin without knowing, it. The piMctice of adding to tin En g'ish vocahulary, words adopted iron) these languages is still carried on with activity, and there is little prospoct of a change. It is abso lutely necessary as a means of de noting those new objects, idc-s and relations winch are continually ap pearing and demanding expression. The resources of En dish for the formation of new words are so lim ited that aid from other Laiigu-sges are indispeusib e. !New terms which are retailed by the progress of science are almost wholly drawn from the iniexhausUiblu storehouse of Greek and Latin. The terms derived from those languages are descriptive ot their properties or objects which the' rep resent, Tims, a Greek scholar up on hearingkhe words 'thermometer1 and "lelesope,"" will immcdntely know what the' mean, for the' aro derived directly from ihe Greek. The former is derived from t crmos, heat, and meter, measure, or heat measure ; and the latter from ia e , distance, and scoplo. to see. or to see at a distance. You can read ily see tint the definition ot the vord is contained in the etymol ogy. But one. ignorant of Greek, a-though he might know that cer tain objects were called by these names, could giveno reason why a thermomcer might not as well be --called telescope. and indeed could easily mistake tLe one for the othor.2 The classics fc;sb names for nil the sciences tr.id many of the 4rts ; of many geometrical Ggures ; -of almost every mathematica', as 4ronouiic.il and physical instrument; -of almost all surgical instruments; almost all various instruments cm ployed in the practical applications of science ; in botany it has given names to all the classes and orders -of the Linden syfe em. There is uo department of life, no line of busin ess, not even a column in the news paper that is not bristling with jrreek or Latin words.. How can we expect to understand any of these terms without a kuow'odge of the classics? These are the argu ments for sustaining the classics in in idem education. Yet in the faco of all these existing facts our op ponentB would dispense wi;h those studies. What language is strong -enough to denounr their vandal Ism? "What penalty is severe enough for those, who with ruth Jess hands would tear down and de stroy these hi ountainsof p.ist great ness, those relics sacieu to every true scholar's heart?

THE GRACE OF C0XF01!3IITY. BY ALMA II. M'CAUTliY. "The graciousness that wins our admiration is an excellency to -which we involuntarily do rever ence. Ere the devout spirit of jnan lifted up his voice in the solemn aisles of groves, Nature -claimed bib first attention to her beauty and "filled his heart with psalmody and his ear with song." As insensibly as the mountain Wends with the plain, do the har monious developments of the suc cessive creations combine tlsem themselves in fitness with Na ture's taste The recognition of the earthy materials in strata, continuous over large areas, and resembling each other indiffer ent countries, accords with the grander conception of the wis iom and perfection of God's la bors ; and, diversely, hints at the inconsistency of the discontented elements. The earth's surface is covered with soil ; but over this the gra cious hand has tluown a ''beauti ful garment, with which, In their season, interweave and mi igle leaves, blossoms and flowers of every hue by which the eye can be delighted. Over all its neces sities and struggles and utilities, we may throw a sentiment, a ro "mance, a poetry which shall nnike our existence nobler." The murmur of the brook, the rush of the river, the roar of the sea, the sighing of the winds, the song of the birds, the opening bud of spring, the fall of the au tumnal leaf, and the twinkling stars are melodies which the heart cannot help but connect with-a beautiful moral feeling. So the government of man re lates to the revelation of the Di vine will. As Nature adjusts and sustains, she also agitates the elements. The impending cloud shuts out the sruile of the brotherhood, the stars, and the music made by the tenor of their felicity is unheard in roar of the thunder-storm. The discord, however, is but as the comet or meteor in the seren ity of the skies, as 'tinkling sytn bals'' in the harmony of the uni verse. Every man's mind is to him a kingdom, a universe, and in this mental structure he is to seek for uniformity in character and rep utation, a consistent rhymthic movement of parts, and the crowning grace of all conformity is the harmonv of a well-ordered life. Ia the developments of human attainments, the moral and social qualities, each one's peculiar field of power is presented. The great part of the infelicity of men arises not so much from their circumstances, or the man ner in which ' they are situated, as from their pride, vanity and ambitious desires. It seems an unfortunate pro pensity in human nature that an individual should ..overrate his personal connection with the world, and so in hours of suffer ing, reach out yearningly for sympathy and brotherhood to others as self-absorbed and car rying different, though perhaps as heavy burdens, as his. .Sui h was the discordant ele ment In the nature of the poet Shelley. The antagonistic spirit fades to 3. wan flame, the gloom deepens CO despondency and despair, and in the darkness the benighted soul is heard to say : "Summer is deadrbut yet I live to weep, The instability of all but w. oping." Cut oil from all association with the active interests, having no part or lot iirthe interests which absorb the minds of other jiniMi and women, it. is'easy to see that such lives must aiterwniie run in a very narrow groove. Though mortal may not know the purpose of his being, the end for which he was created and placed as he is. yet lie may so live lo Ins fellow creatures and his God: he imav so imitate the features of the Divine Artist, as expressed in form and hue and proportion, that the mellowed sigh on his heart shall swell in the full ma jestic song of praise on hisJips.

The day had come to the twilight hour ; O'er lovelv earth the mooullght lay. Poured irom but the silver ship That lollows after the king of day. The Hooking river rolled in its bed, And tossed and moaned and would not sleep ; For it was filled with troubled dreams, Aud would only murnior and sigh and weep. Along the banks the tcary tre.'s, Were easting shadows deep and wide ; And in the shadows the restless waves Their tear! ill faces sought to hide. Among tho caves alongthe shore. The Sprites and Naiads and Mermaids dwell ; And when the stars are twinkling bright, They often meet in a shady dell. To gambol and gossip among themselves, To run and skip in gleeful "lay, Until the great white day returns, When they grow shy aud hide away. To-night they meet not as of old, To sing and dance within the dale ; The air isfllled with sighs aud groans, And eveiy face is sad and pale. Neptune stood in his pearly boat, And waved his trident o'er the stream, And bade the liver cease her stiife, Aud wake up from her troubled dream. And -when bespoke the noise was stilled ; Tho wators rolled in peace along; Tho sighs were hushed and silence reigned. With powersupreme.amoiig the throug. One Sfermald bolder than the rest, Rose and addresse-1 the ocean God ; "Our home Is in the old oauai. Winch runs adown this valley broad." Upon the lock at Boardman's Mill, For many years I've combed my hair, And never have molested been. Nor troubled with a singla caie. But now the hand of mighty man, Has sii'itched from me that throne so dear, And torn my soul with anguish such, That I can not even shodataar. Antl I am not the only nymph , That by his band has sutiVred so, For every one that dwelt theie-iu. From out the placid stream must go. The stream itself in doomed to death ; It is not swift enougli for man ; And in its place he needs must put An iron railroad; that's his plan. Over which the cars will rush, So that we can not even see, The spots w e all so sacrod hold, And where our lovely homes should be. The Mermaid looked upon the God, If from his aspect, she could learn, Whether he would interfere. And fortune's fickle wheel would turn. His face witli indignation burned ; His eyes flashed fire; his breath came hard ; He gnashed his teeth and cureses rained, On those whose hand their peace had marred. His grand, impassioned eloquence, Was terry tying to the sprites, Although they knew the cause of it. Was man's transgression o. their rights. A curse upon the man who dared To doom tho old canal to death ; May all the air grow hot and dry, And he not get e'en one pure breath. May every fish pond that he makes. Grow stagnant in the solar heat; May all his cattle die of thirst And thus deprie him of his meat Mav drought lay hold on all his crops, To scorch the wheat stock's graceful bend ; To ruin all the other grain And thus depuve hiuiol his bread. Mav chills and headache hold him "fast; And when the fever is burning so. Then may tho springs and wells all fail. To ield one drop of H20. Lot cruel ague shake his frame. And let him thurst and pmo and sigh, And call for lemonade in vain. And take his quinine powders dry. Goto your homes in tho old canal, And 1 wili plead 'gainst ciuel man, And with the help olJupiter, WIU turn him from his direful plan. With joyful hearts they wont away, Witli lightsome step aud faces bright, Prizing their native stream much more, Siuci: passing through that dreadful night. The Hocking river lay in its bed, And laughing, playing, tossing along, Over Its clean and pebbly couch, To itself it sang a low sweet song, For aU its troubles were past and gene ; It's dreams of terror nad flown away, As over the top of the eastern hills, Arosa the herald of the Day. The ltoyal Purple of Maaliootl. BY WEBT. F. bMITU. The rarest product of the Phoe necian ait was Tyrian dye, and with this costly principle they colored the finest fabric of the Sidonian looms. Of more value than an equal weight of gold, it dropped only into the service of wealth and became at once the distinguishing characteristic be tween king and peasant; noble and debased; true and false. But as the planets revolve aud time runs, bringing with it at every new tide fresh rauks of civ ilization, we notice that it also conveys new customs and ideas. In modern times the merit of persons is not judged by the col or of their garments, neither by the jewels of their hands; but insieau oi mis an mea now occu pies the place where once mate rial stood. This idea may be justly called the Royal Purple of Manhood,'' (being found to exist in true character and absent in one of less worth) and is judg ed mainly by action. Among the requisites of a true manhood is a good moral char c?,n.l ...111 . m, itm,. mnvln.. STlbprpS Of acter. If the young manjias this characteristic he will ot course tend to virtue and will win the confidence and respect of others. As Daniel Webster has said, "nothing of character is really permanent but virtue and per sonal worth." But we must un derstand that morality does not pertain merely to the obvious character. The consniutionai law controls or rather restricts the outward actions as apparent to the eye, but the moral law has for her scope the silent workings of the heart. The former guards the actions of the muscles, while the latter has dominion over our delicate internal nature. Then let him be not only obviously moral, but let his very thoughts be so. For his thoughts will shape themselves into actions and action of worth and good live forever ; in fact goodness is the only true greatness. Then let him remember that these thoughts are not worthless, for some of the greatest conquests ever made have been achieved after the hero himself was dead. Another requisite of this true manhood is a strong wili in con nection with moral courage. His strong will, will enable him to rnminniul himself so that he mav overcome the common trials of life, while his moral courage be ing exercised often and to good effect will strengthen his moral character. It may here be truly said that the common and seem ingly small temptations of every day life are the greatest enemies to mankind. They slip in upon us at our weakest times and fin ally bind us captive. But the boy who can say ''no" without faltering to those who would tempt him, is stronger than a lion. Vice always assumes the most attractive form, and placing herself on the shore of some fas cinating pleasure, sings forth in sweet and melodious strains, as the mythological Sirens, luring the unfortunate mariners nearer and near only to sport in their rlost.rnr.tion on the deceitful and spear-like rocks. Thus many a pure and innocent youth has been led into the ways of evil and finally surrounded by her clutching coils, is dragged into the marshes of debauchery, till at length the once fair child, cre ated a little lower than the an gels, has sunk so low that he has to look upward to the plat, form of the lowest brute. But why is this so frequently happening ? It is simply because these young men have neither the strong will nor moral courage to resist. Like IJlyses, they must fill their ears, as "it were, with wax, so that they may dismiss even the remotest inclination to yield lo temptation. Siimnel Smiles has said, "nothing can work me danger but myself." and we find that this is generally true, for on this broad and vast ocean of life each man "is his own helmsman and his safety depen Is upon the skillfulness of his own movements. As the old uroverb goes, "A strong man and a water fall channel their own pains. Therefore if this degraded nature had at the first temptation said "no," he might possibly exchanff ed from the extreme of degrada tion to the extreme of earthh nobleness. Besides a moral character and strong will, our hero must needs Jiave ambition to succeed; lor without it these former qualities are little more than ornamental. He must feel an honorable anxi ety to be continually changing his platform in life to a higher standard. While it is never ad visable to leave anything of sood until completed, he sluiuld at the same time watch vigilantly to see when it is completed, so that he may shift on to some more ele vated rank. It has been remark ed by one that he who remains on the same level through life is comparatively of little worth, and this is remarkably true ; for no man was ever born great, but those who havs proved so have done it by continual and gradual rise. Another quality which is very necessary for perfect manhood is respest of self and others. While exercising his ttrong will or mor al courage in connection with his ambition to succeed, he must at the same time shape them so that they will reflect no disrespect upon himself and others. If he should base his ambition upon things out of his sphere and not suited to himself he has made a sad mistake and degraded rather than elevated himself. However when he has followed these rules he has begun his career upon principles that will last; and these qualities cemented together by judicious and conscientious thought will form a foundation lor the grandest earthly lite we can know, for tne foundation foretells the structure. When we look upon a broad and deep foundation we know it to be that for a large building. So when we look upon this foundation of solid principles we foretell a structure as massive as Chimbo razo. Then before us we see one who is a type of nobility ; a star of the first magnitude shining with all his splendor, and as it seems a model of perfect man hood ; but in the hours of his si lent thought there comes to him as it were an echo reverberating in the ether of an unknown at mosphere whispering in accents clear and definite, ''Well done, well done," most noble man, but one thing yet remains for you to do. whittli will srive the brightest lustre to your crown, a gem of gems; a set more lovely than all the lest, of manhood's royal pur ple the most royal ; Unit act is namely this: "The duty you owe to Uod.
