cause of their indissoluble friendship.
Just below them now blazes Jupiter. a

are splendor beside which our poor
cart would be unnoticed. Look in the
line of Orion‘s Belt to the east-ward and
vou meet Sirius. the brightest star of the
heavens. Distant from us 1.373.000 times
the distance from the earth to the sun:
so far distant that the ray of light which
. . now strikes the eye must have left the
star ‘22 yum ago; so far distant that the
swiftmt bird cannot traverse it in Sill.-
000.000 years; a sun surpassing in bril-
liancy 50 of our suns and a hundred
times larger.
Before such immense conceptions of
time and space how petty is the ancient
fable that Sirius marked the lace of one
of Orion‘s hounds and that ‘rocyon—a
star of the second magnitude midway
between Serius and Jupiter—was an—
other. Let us not too soon characterize
the inventors of these fables as frauds
and ignorant. Or if it must be done let
us leave the uncongenial task to Senior.
Pupil. Parent and Latin Student. Their
study of the classics has given them a
thousand vituperative phrases and has
not checked their dis ‘ition to use
them; Let us rather criticise ourselves
and see if our conceptions of the uni-
verse be less pettv. And this for the
general. is the chief value of what I have
written. It is true. were we in a tem-
pest at sea a knowledge of the._stars
. might direct our course and save us
} from shipwreck. It is true. were we in
a trackless forest. those of us who know
the stars might find our way and escape
the dangers of the night. while Parent.

“must climb a tree.“ It is true. the‘
stars inform a wise man of the hour
of the night and direction in space. For
the most these can only be occasional.
onceeer twice in a life time. But such
' supreme moments may happen at any
time. At such moments the so-called
culture which Latin and certain other
studies give and which years have been
consumed in acquiring is seen to be but
a fantastical embroidery. in the presence
of these simple facts. because human life
depends on them. Are you quite sure.
' then. In critics. that you havedone well
in exhi iting the animus you have ex-
hibited in your letters. Mi ht not your
answers have shown a little one acerhiiy
of temper. Do you believe that. your
charges of malice. ignorance and false;
hood show nobility of disposition. Ought
, you to have exhibited before the youth.
whom you know from the nature of the
contention would read your letters that
eflort to be biting. and to sting me? Do
you think that your ekample has aided
in forming in them that elevated char-
; acter which should' be the supreme
thought in education. Peace! At this
moment before my window passes a pm
cenion of sorrow. Another has solved
the great mystery of the universe. If it
be true that generous. noble actions and
thoughts dilate the soul. and that rancor.
spite and ignoble passions contract it and
make it small and mean. as I believe. let
us never give place to such. '
I repeat. the conception of the uni-
verse which the astronomer offers is im-
mense. To understand as he does the
genesis of the worlds: to look back to
the farthest past. and see all space filled
with atoms. such as those which dance
in a sunbeam on a summer‘s day: to see
next. every atom drawn by gravitation
to the center. and the whole mass grad-
uall ' commencing to revolve; next to
see It glowing with a heat which melts
and turns to gas every metal and rock:
to see next this mass moving at a tre-
menduous speed and throwing of! worlds
and runs and systems of sum. as mud is
thrown from a carriage wheel: to see an
order arising out of this chaos: to find
all these suns revolving around a coni-
mon center: to see our sun throw oil its
lanets Saturn. Jupiter. Mars. Earth.
"enue and many others: toseethe moon
thrown off from the earth in a similar
manner. To see all this. I say: to real-
iae that we. though dwellers on one of
the meanest planets have so far pierced
the mysteries of the universe. is to prove
our kinship'to the Almighty Mind. and
to plant a true self reliance in the breast.
Such canoe tions are the most valuable
part of edu tion. By them the char~
actor is aflected more than by anything
else. They teach tolerance and check
health. or the visible world. that their
study can be best carried on without the
use of text books. and supplementary to
the usual studies." Suppose it be the
pulse. It needs but a word from the
teacher and each scholar will ob
serve for himself how many times it
beats inaminute. 1n the varving rin-
swers arid the ascertaining by the pupils
why they vary. the foundation for a
self—knowledge is laid for which many
would give the world. and it is an easy
task to pass on to other physiological
subjects. Let five minutes a dav be
given to such subjects. “’hv allow
children to be ignorant when they can
so readily teach themselves. and with
what delight. 'If there be any I have
offended (such is human nature.) he has
probably had his revenge sated by the
replies to me. But if not let him pro-
cure the shield of good nature. A laugh

on "Conunon Sense.“
Editor SENT].\‘EI.:—A cause. no matter
how good. can hardly fail to be injured
by extreme statements of its advocates.
still more by extreme misstatements.
The assertion that a knowledge of Latin
is a detriment to a person‘s use of lan-
guage. Common Sense fails to sup tort
whatever. To say that the best ant ior~
ities condemn the lugging of classicisnis
into English composition and that many
authors of great reputation have had no
knowledge of Latin does not meet the
riot at all. He is to show not that there
ave been great writers who knew no
Latin. but that a knowledge of Latin in~
evitably corrupts and spoils an author‘s
style. Now it seems to me such exam-
ples of classical scholars and writers of
pure English as Bacon. Milton. Addison
and the translators of our Bible. not to
mention others of the most illustrious
lights in literature. stand directly in the
way of Common Sense‘s proposition. If
they do not. I confess that I fail to see
that facts have the logic commonly con.
ceded to them. In regard to the relative
greatness of Spencer and Bacon the ncxt,
century can perhaps decide better than
this. Each century has had men who
filled a large place in the eyes of contem-
poraries but a man whose influence ex-
tends through muny generations and
among thinking men the world ovcr.
holds his place by right. Tinie puts the
matter to the test. Bacon‘s philosophy
inaugurated anew era in the thoughts
and activities of the human race. Mac-
auley says. “Ask a follower of llacon
what the new philosophy. as it
called in the time of Charles the Second.
has effected for mankind. and hisnnswer
is ready: ‘It Iias lengthened life: it has
mitigated pain; it has extinguished dis-
eases; it has increased the fertility of
the soil; it has given securities to the
mariner: it has furnishedmew arms to
warrior; it has spanned great rivers and
estuaries with bridges of form unknown
to our fathers; it has guided the thunder
bolt innocuously from heaven to earth;
it has lighted upthe night with the splen-
dor of the day; it has extended the
range of the human vision: it has acccl~
eratcd in‘otion: it has facilitated inter-
course. correspondence. all _ friendly
offices. all dispatch of business: it has
enabled man to descend to the depths of
the sea. to soar into the air. to penetrate
securely into the noxious recesses of the
earth. to traverse the land on cars.
which whirl along ‘without horses, and
the ocean in ships which sail against the
wind. Those are but apart of its first
fruits. For it is a philosophy which
never rests. which has never attained.
which Is} never perfect. Its law is prog-
ress. A point which yesterday was in-
visible is its goal today. and will be its
starting pest’ to-niorrow.‘ “ .\‘ot alto—
gether impracticable the man whose
philosophy bears sucli fruits as these.
even though his works were originally
.written in Latin. nor (Eiite spoiled by
Latinism the style whic such a critic as
ilzlallam pronounces “clear. precise and
sociable.“ Common Sense says that
J‘Addison was delightful but Washing-
ton Irving more delightful because his
style was not formed on classical mod-
els.“ In regard to the Latin element iii
Addison‘s writing. a few words from
Prof. Hart of Princeton college seem . to
the point. No book in the language is
more free from this Latinism. or is in all
respects in purer English. than the Bug-
lish Bible. The writers who come near-
est to the Bible in the puritv' of their
English are Shakespeare and Bunyan.
next to these I suppose is Addison.“ A
rson in learning the Latin language
use not lose command of his own as
Common Sense repeatedly asserts or as-
sumes. Martin Luther versed in Latin
like other ecclesiastics of his time. wrote
German. especially his translation of the
Bible. that gave fixedness and form to
the German language. \Vhat greater
name in German literature than Gcethe‘s?
Yet he wrote Latin while a mere child.
Will Common Sense come directly to the
int and explain some of these things?
mmon Sense asks “Can you buy da-
tivee and ablatives in any market? Are
you warmed by them? Do they feed
you. do the help you to get a living!"
Are these t e questions by which Com-
mon Sense would test the worth of an
education? If so. then let him turn
them against some of his facts in astron-
omy or knowledge of extinct or nearly
extinct Indian tribes and see how they
stand the test' In conclusion let me say
that any practical efforts toward obtain~
ing for thernatural sciences more recog-
nition in our schools seem to me worthy
of all encouragement. To leave the
gwing and inquisitive minds of chil-
n and youth in ignorance of them-
selves and the material world with
which they have constantly to do is to
neglect whatever ought to be a very ini-
portant part of education. No ability to
trace constellations orread Latin authors
can compensate for the Inn. But while
holding all this firmly can we afford to
be less than just to other kinds of know-
ledge? Nav. is it reawnable to still
further and decry important stu ice as
worth“? This modern world in which
we live is but a continuation of the an.
cient and the past has much to teach us.
The Gaula of whom Caesar wrote were
not exterminator] as Common Sense told
us they were. and a little over one hun~
dred years ago some deeoendents of the
Gallo~Rornane came over to America and
arrogance.
