They are not employed in &listing 'rung men to "d e , with greater facility or advantage, the:poets . , the historians, or the philosophers of antiquity ; nay. It can scarcely be said. in any proffer mewling of t he term, that they are employed 'in Italicising the rinciples of language. They are schoolmasters in the strictest sense of the word-L-for their time is went in living the very lowest part of the founda tion, on which a superstructure Of erudition must be reared. A profound and accomplished scholar mar, at times, be found discharging these duties, I,, i i most assuredly there is no need either of deio'h Or of elegance to enable him to dischar g e them as weii as the occasion requires. The truth is, how's. ever, that very few men give themselves the trotitie to become tine scholars, without being pushed On hv mane kinds of stimulus, and I know of no very powerful stimulus within the action of which these gentlemen are placed. They have not the milt nou ai m d t l,ghs of making their pupils tine schor• Jars—feelings which, in England, are proctor-slyest so man e admirable results—because the system sir the univers.ty is such, that their pupils are hue. rich cut of their hauls tong before they could hope to inspire them with any thing like a perinament lore for studies attended frith so many difficulties. Nile', they hive not the ambition end delight of des rating themselves to a high and honourable rank in public estimation, by their own proficiency in classics! lore; for this is the Only country in civi lized Europe (whatever may be the cause of the phenomenon) wherein attainments of that kind are regarded with a very slender degree df admiration. flow this may have happened I know nut ; but the fact is certain, that for these two bombed years, s cot h th d h a s produced no man of high reputistiOn, whose fame rested, or rests, upon what we cull clas sical learning, nor, at the present day, does she possess any one who might be entitled to form an exce ption to this rule of barrenness. 4. Before these boys, therefores have learned Latin enough to be able to read any Latin author with faci lity, and before they haVe learned Greek enough to enable them to understand thoroughly Hoy out line in soy one Greek book in existence, they are handed over to the professor of Logic, Rhetoric. and Belles-Lettres, quasi jam lingsrarults sulis perilf. You and I know well enough that it is no trifling matter to acquire any thing like a mastery, a true and effectual command, over the great languages of antiquity ; we well remember how many years of husy exertion it cost us in boyhood—yes, and in manhood too—before we found ourselves in a con dition to make any complete use of the treasures of wit and wisdom to which these glorious lan gouges are the keys. When we then are told that the whole of the classical part of Scottish *code wield education is completed within the space of two years, and this with buys of the age I have mentioned, there is no occasion for saying one word more about the matter. We see and as well as if we had examined every lad in Edinburgh, that not one of them who has enjoyed DIP better means of instruction than these, can possibly know ally thing more than the merest and narrowest rush. meats of classical learning. This one simple fact is a sufficient explanation, not only of the small advances made by the individuals of this nation its the piths of erudition, strictly so called—but of much that is peculiar, and, if one may be permitted to say so, of much that is highly disagreeable ion, in the getieral tone of the literature wherein the national mind is i ond has been expressed. It thew., at once, the origin of much that distinguishes the authors of Scotland, not from those of Englaud alone, but from those of all the other nations of Europe. I do not mean that which honourably distinguishes them (for of such distinction also they have much), but that which distinguishes them in a distressing and degrading manner—their ignorange of the great models of antiquity—nay, the irreverent spirit in which they have the viola. city to speak concerning men and works, whom (considered as a class) modern hints have as yet in vain attempted In equal." Some time ago a gentleman in Galloway. while walking over his estate, observed a peasant boy rapidly mounting to the top of a very high tree, in search, no doubt, of a crow or a ;rye's unit. Being concerned for the little fellow's safely, as well as anxious to banish such mischievous intruders from his plantations, he bawled out " Hoy ! you little scoundrel ! what are you about there ? Come down immediately, and never let me see your face in this place again." The climber, nowise alarmed at this addreas, rested himself upon a branch. and anowered very laconically, 44 Na ! if I was to coma dorm, you wad lick tae."—" No," said the gentleman, " though you well deserve to be imotalted, I won't heat you for this offence—so conic (loan home diately.""

It is aloartst lorrilless to sold, that the terms of this capitulation were better oh- Served than some of those that have made a greater noise in the world. The boy was dismissed with a trifling reward, and a strong injunction Haver again to climb a tree, or break through an eneloaure—an Injunction which, on the part of the rising gene& ration, will probably be 'mewled to when “te birds cease to build, and the wild cherries to ripro.
