* 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.

'Givo Sir - Thomas Clifford',another en j

'I can add nothing more,' replied Knowles.' !
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. And :
next camo Mr. Charles Kemblej who an
iiuuucau uic piay ior repetition, amidst a
shower of bouquets.
'Well,'said ICnowlcs, when (hoy wore
out of public view, 'wliSt altera I ion can you

'All, there,' 6uid Knowlcs, ll allow you to
be n better judge than myself; any suggestion

'WbyfeBr,' said Keiuble, intending to bit
poor lvnowles in a> most -ecnitivo part, 'I
think if Master Walter were in any other
bands tbau your own, the effect of the play
would be improved.'
Knowles looked confused ; but be immediately
rallied bis spirit"?, and asked lvemble
what fault be bad to find witb bis performance

'Why,1 said Kemble, 'you are- imperil

How The Classics Ought To be Studied.
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.
