LORD BROUGHAM ON EDUCATION.

Edited by OrviII. Taylor, New York: Tay-
or and Clement, 1899. This work contains a
collection of opinions of this able statesman, on
the subject Of education. They have been given
to the world OH various occasions and have
formed parts Of some OF his most famous speech
es a, well a. written, ESSAYS. The extracts are
accompanied with remarks BY the editor, which
for the most part are udicions and applicable to
the condition of affairs among us, where, if any
where-sound education is most necessary for
the maintenance and preservation of our free
institutions. Some Of Lord Brougham's senti-
ments, though upon subjects which are trite, de-
serve dissemination, and we therefore make a
few extracts from one Of his speeches, in which
he more particularly inculcates the Importance OF
training.
Capacity of Children to acquire Knowledge.
"The child, when he first comes into the
world, may care very little for what is passing
around him although he is, of necessity, always
learning something. even at the first but, alter
a certain period, he is in rapid progress OF in
strnrton; his curiosity becomes rrepre>sibe-
the thirst for know ledge is predomnaing in his
mind, and it is as universal as Unsuitable. Du-
ring the period between the ages of eighteen
months TO two years rnd six, will even say
five, he learns much more of the material world
1-of his own poWerS--ot tue nature oi othcr
bodies-even OF his mind, and Of others minds,
than he ever after acquires during all the yeats
Of DO, hood, youth, and manhood. -Every child,
even of the most ordinary capacity, learns more,
acquires greater mass OF knowledge, and Of a
more useful kind, at this tender age, than the
greatest philosopher is enabled to build up during
the longest life of the most successful inves,iga-

stores np--the ideas which are generated in his
mnd--are SO important that, il we could sup.
pose them to be afterwards obliterated, all the
learning of senior wnngler at Cambridge, a
first class man at Oxford would be as nothing to
it, and would, literally. not enable its victims to
prolohg his existence for one week. This being
altogether undeniable, how is il that so much is
learned at this tender age? Not, certainly, BY
teaching OF by any pains to help the newly arri-

A WINTER IN THE WEST INDIES
Fort ROYAL, (Martinque. }

When went upon deck this morning, our
ship was coastng along the southern shore of this
island, aud we soon entered the spacious and
magnificent bay, at the head Of which stands.
or rather lies in rulns-the town Of Fort Royal.
This island belongs to France, and contains about
so, 900 inhabitants. The religion is exclusively
Roman Catholic. The legislative power resides
in the Governor appointed by the crown; and a
Lower House, elected by the people, and whose
term of office is five years. No laws enact
ed by the local Legislature are in force, till sane
toned by the government at home.
The bay into which our beautiful ship was
sailing is well guarded. About midway between
the town and the ocean are two batteries, brist-
ling with cannon, and near the town are works
scarcely excpIled in strength by the citadel at
Quebec. On each side OF the bay, and in the
distance, in every direction, are lofty hills Of
endlessy varied heights aud forms, some Of them
running up into the clouds, and seemingly EN-
vrloped in the smoke of their own volcanoes,
while others are finely rounded and cultivated
to the top. In front of u>was the town SO late
ly touched by the finger Of God. The earth
quake which shook the whole island and pa tal-
~ devastated the city OF ST. Pierre concentrated
its fury on this spot, where stands, once stood,
the town Of Fort Royal. Touched by the tng-
er of God, it crumbltd. "The hills melted like
wax at the finger of the Lord" .''.
Terrible the spectacle must be, yet had
long desired to see city overwhelmed by All
earthquake. Such city lay before me. With
an interest nervou>ly painful and intense, hur-
ried on shore to view the ruins, language can
convey no adequate idea of the scene which was
presented to my eyes. Perhaps the description
of single spot will give the cIearest conception
of its horrors. The hospital, which stood just
at the outskirts of the town, was built of stone,
and surrounded three sides Of Quadrangle.
Each Of the three buildings was two stories high,
and about two hundred feet in length. Outside
Of all the buildings, and enclosing an area of
several acres, was u thick and solid stone wall.
On the 18th of January, about six o'clock in the
morning, without the slightest premonitory
warning Of any kind, ''the earth shook and
ttembltd." INSTANTLY, these stone walls as if
built Of sand which by some power had been
held rigid for time, but pow returned to its
original stae-crumbled into a shapeess heap.
Walls and roof stone and timber, lay crushed
together, as if they had not only fallen, but
if some additional power bad kneaded or tramp
led them into one frighttnl mass-or as if the
earth had heaved and rocked till all the materials
were mingled and ground together Flight or

MY BIRTHDAY.
BY MOORE.


NV birth day what different sound,
That wor had in my youthful years,
And now, each time the day comes round,
Less and less white its mark appears!
When first our scanty years are told. ..
1t seems like a pastime to grow old
And, as youth counts the shining links
That time around him binds so fast,
Pleased with the task, he little thinks
How hard the chain will press at last. ~
Vain was the man, and false as vain,
Who said were he ordained to run
His long career of life again,
He would do all that he had done"--
All it's not thus the voice that dwells
In sober birth. days speaks to me
Far ctherwise-of time it tells
Layished unwse!y, carelessly-
Of counseIs mock'd-of talents, made
HAPPY for high and pure designs,
But oft like lsrael's incense laid
Upon unholy earthly shrines-
or nursing many wrong desire
Of wandering after love too far,
And taking every meteor fire
That crossed my pathway for a star!
All this it tells, and could trace
The imperfect picture DER again,
With power to add, retouch, etface
The lights and shades. the joy and pain,
How little OF the past would stay
How quickly all would melt away, -s'~
All-but that freedom OF the mind
Which hath been more than wealth TO me
Those friendships on my boyhood twined,
And kept till now n..changingly-
Aud that dear home that saving ark,
Where loves true light at last I've found,
Cheering within, when all grows dark
And comfortless, and stormy round.

TAcr.-It is inconcevable how much may be
accomplished by mere tact or adroitness in doing

mental or physical does not prove half as fective
as power well applied. The art Of doing thing

with this talent the other day, in a sister city.
