* t?,Te for a Mother. Mother is a holy name. This -iu an cffoclion that. "Outlives .ninny n storm thntlins efFneed A> thousand-other themes loss deeply linccd." Indeed F have lil ways attributed, to the poetic character, warnfend generous sympathy; and it is most pleasing J,o dwell upon the many instances in wliich it has been cvin-j ced?a feeling in which we can all sympathize and foroi an attachineut to the poet himself far superior to tbo acquisition of mere literary fame. Pone's lova for his mother is thus alluded to by Johnson :? 'She died at the age of ninety-three, bub not unlamented. The filial piety of Pope was then, in the highest degree, amiable and exemplary. Ilis parents had the hajf pinees of living till he was at the summit of poetical reputation, till ho was at ease in his fortune and without a rival in his fame, and found 110 diminution of his respect and tenderness. Whatever was his pride, to them he was obedient; and whatever his irritability, to them he was gentle. Life has nroong its'soothing and quiet comforts, lew tilings bettor to givo than such a sun.

Ilere the parties turned from eacb oilier, and the business of the stage when on for a few moments longer, when it was again interrupted by Kcmble :? 'Excuse me, Mr. Kuowlos ; but Ibis part absolutely requires an addition ; a slight al- j teration would render it more effecti ve. You ! must make another, speech for Sir Thomas. Knowles colored, and, turning abruptly to lthe patiician of the stage,' gave vent to his feelings in }bcso terms :? '|kl i-s't-c-r Kemble, brains arc not shingles, sir ; and, if they are, I am no carpenter !' Kemble fiuiled at tho oddity of the expression, and Knowies left thcthoalro in a bad humor, and qujto discomfited. At night, the bickerings of tho morning were forgotten?tho house was crowded with the fashion and taste of the English | metropolis?the play was applauded and j cheered throughout?and tho curtain fell amidst the most animated applause ever heard within a theatre. First the.author (wlio, in conscquoucc of the indisposition of 011c of the actors, performed tho Jlunehback) was called fur, and made his bow ; his reception was cordial in tho extreme. Then the fair debutante, tho sinco famous Fanny Kemble, who had made a deep im- ! pression in the character of Julia : the boxes j pit and gallery rose and testified their ap- j probation, and the waviug of handkerchiefs was universal thtoughout the building.

Professor lieubelt, in closing n series ol excvllon^ f rljcles in tlio Xashvillc Advocat( on tli? sfudy of the Classics, says} Tlic classics put into- tbo bnndsof llio student should be such as hSean master by dint ol closo stddy, and tbe application of thof? rules with which be is acquainted. Tlieii "translation will not only exercise all the mcutfijl acuities of the student in tlie hap picst maynor, but will give him nUo thai confidence in himself which is indispensably .necessary in order to insure success.. Lei the text be given either without any note at all, or with geographical, historical, and mythological note, but in no ease with -notes which reutuvos every grammatical difficulty trauslate every complicated sontcneej and do nil the parsing besides. .From my own experience as a tcacher, F do not hesitate to say that such editions of classics as AhthonV edition of Ilomer do invariably harm, and ought to be scorned by both professor and k'arner as real pontes asinorum. I would rather mv studi-nts In rnn<l . ,?.v in lloiner at first, alone, tlirown on tlicii own resources, than twentv-fivc or fifty with Anthon's notes and glossary. Wc would propose, then, somewhat like the following oriler in which the classics ought to be studied: Let six -first months or the firstjuror be devoted to grammar, etymology nuhuly, to exercises for translation, turning on etymology; then 0110 session Cfornelius Nop as; one year Ciesar J)e Hcllc (tallica and CVt'fVtj 0110 session Livy 01 Sallnst; one year Cicero, and six months Tacitus: tlielWfs inn- r>riiiii?if->it?nrJ -il the session or llie second year with pai ls o! Ovid, llicn Virgil, Horacc, Juvenal. Creel; we would recommend to l>c commended after Latin has been studied at least one year." Let then a whole year be given to grammar and exercises for translations; then, while grammar is continued, Zenophou'* All a basis, Thuevdidcs or Herodotus, the Memorahiliaor i'lato may follow. Of the poets, llomer ought to precede Euripides, Euripides Sophocles, Sophocles Pindar. In this way it will bo seen that \vc do not ask more time for the classics than is ordinarily given unto them. Let Latin be studied two years in the preparatory department, Greek one year, and then tho two languages tlnee jt.uo euuege, laying' asiue grammar as a text-Look in ilie Sophomore class, an J using from that time a larger grammar merely for reFerence, and wo guarantee that more than one halfof our graduates will know how to express themselves readily in Latium's Iangunge, and all advantages to l>e <lei iver. from the more beautiful language of Hellas w iil be entirely within their reach. One more remark, and I have done. A boy ought to comrtaence to study Jingli.-di Grammar when about ten years of age, at eleven or twelve lie may commence Latin, :nuJ at four loon CI reck, ami at eighteen oi nineteen lie may graduate. Lei him commence with the languages as stated, and if lie is a good arithmetician, if ho Las some knowledge of geSjjraphy and history, he ought to he received as a Freshman, faftei he lias finished' Nepos and Ga?sar, atici can write an easy composition in Latin, and understands the Greek regular- and irregular verb.) 13nt let the beginning* in no inl?r? vvifli mftfliVmnl\t?u\ kliiilioc and llic sciences, so that the students is in these branches in the languages in the higher classes of college, while ho .is in the languages in the preparatory department.? The consiliences of. such an unnatural course arc invariably evil.. Dr. Howley, Late Archbishop^ of Canterbury. "Was a self-made man and ought to know ; and "he said, as it was reported tome by one who had it from his own lips, ~ "To :i:i* ji.:' ? _ _ iivuicvu bucui^s in ni?:, mrvo wjmifi <ye necessary?tact prompt decision tempered by a wise wailing for the time to net, ami an indomitable will" Without tact, bluuderf will be continually occuring; anil early blunders are fatal to 'tlie very beginning lo risd'.
