L hR Storm put ulsrs lis omlGols cry.
Within the lone churchyard the aspen doth wave
It's sensitive boughs DER the weary ones grave
And the spirit whose breath moves the delicate leaf
Hath musical voice that aSsuagelh my grief
The language CT Friendship hath melody
The voice Of the fond, and the loved, and the
But richer. AID dearer, and sweeter 10 me-

The longest efluson covers but seven pages, and
the average length does not exceed ,wo-a very

An ARITHMETIC: THEORETICAL AND Pa.crIcAL On the
plan oi Dr.. Lardner FOR the OF Schools. BY .Juln
d. Post, Principal of The Merlden Academy. Hartford:
Brown L Parsons; New.Y Wiley & Putnam.
Arithmetic has been to long taught by rote.-
The child is too frequently drilled, parrotlike, to
repeat certain rules, and to do certain sums, y
knowing nothing Of the reasons of his operations,
and perfectly satisfied if he can obtain, by hook or
by crosk the desired answer. In this way he drsgs
through Dilworth or Daboil, and finally leaves
school, abundanty able solve the questions 50
conveniently assorted under the appropriate rules,
but perfectly helpless when he finds that the ques
tons of every day life are presented to him with
out any accompanying rule to guide him. Heis
then compelled to fall back upon common sense,
and is surprised to discover at last that Arithme
tic is only common sense applied to Numbers
fact hidden from him by the raystery Of the arb-
trary rules, the despo,sin Of which would allow
investigation Of their titles and authorities. His
manuals of study throw no light on this subject
and unless he were unusually fortunate in his
teacher he compelled to dig at the rationale
for himself. But a better day is dawnins schol-
ars, and compilers Of schoc-boolss are discovering
that children have reasons we'll DIS memories
Or. Lardner's Arithmetic published in bis Cabinet
Cyclopeda) is q very foil and happ. development
of the science of numbers. The present work is
in great measure reprint of it, and we should
have prcte rred to see the due credit given by Mr.
Post with more precision and dcfinitenPss The
chief additions numerous promiscuous exam
pies for exercise, which fit it better for the use of
schools. We question, however, whether its in
restisations be not too thorough and generaized
for the comprehension of children, but it might
with great advantage follow elementary course
of the primary rules, and every teacher at leas,
should be familiar with Its principles.
