Disadvantages Of Cemmon.placing.

The method of common-p placing, in
the opinion of johnson, consumed time
without assisting memory. lie held that
what is twice read is better remembered
than wha is transcribed, aud he there

lie tried the plan according to the meth

The particulars are scattered and multi

yet Suutheys conclusions were nearly
coincident with those of johnson and

faculty of the mind more sharpened by
use, or more blunted by inaclion. Hen
derson, the actor, repeated to Dugald
Stewart, after single reading, such

he retained nothing beyond general i'm

alone the cause Of the defect. His ap-
petite for knowledge exceeded his or
any mans digestion, and he would have
recollecled more had he read less. A
light aud rapid pressure Of the seal is not
sufficient to indenl the understanding
with a permanent image. Our rough
lorelathers were sensible of the truth,
and sometimes stamped the body TO ass

France where il was cusiomar, to whip

Singing of Birds.

The singing of most birds seems en-.
tlrely spontaneous effusion, producing
no lassitude in muscle, or relaxation
of the parts of action. In certain sea-
sons and weather, the nightingale sings
all day, and most part of the night and
we never observe that the powers Of
song are weaker, OF that the notes be-
came harsh and untunablc, after all these
hours of practice. The song>lhrush, in

lion in the notes. In The thrush, how
ever, it is remarkable that there seem
TO be regular notes, each individual pip
ing voluntary of his own Their voices
may always be distinguished amid The
chorislers of the copse, yet some one
performer will more particularly engage
attention by peculiar meditation Of
tone; g. should several stations Of these
birds be visited, the same morning, few
or none probably would be found TO per

ever is uttered seeming the elfusion Of
the moment AT times u strain will break

lerance, and we may wan long time
without noticing any repetition Of it.
Harsh, strained, and tense, as the notes
of this bird are, yet they are pleasing
from their variety. The voice Of The
blackbrd is infinitely more mellow, but
has much less variety, compass, or exc
cuiion; and he, too, commences carols
with the morning light, persevering from
hour in hour uiihnHi effort, or any sem

A serene, angelic pair,

OF the soft rain OH the roof.
And another comes 10 thrill me
With her ewes delicious blue;

That her heart was all untrue;

AS nc'er may love again,
And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
TO the patlcr Of the rain.
