New THREE CENT PIEcEs.-A new
three cent coin has been issued from the
United States mint. They bear date 1854,
and differ from the old coin in being of
pure silver, somewhat thinner, and trife
larger. The star, also, is surrounded by
raised line, while the space over III, on
the opposite side, and within the c, is a
sprig, and underneath quiver Of arrows.
The Few coin is much preferable to the
old in arpearance.

HOPES.

"whcn I am a mani is the poetry OF Childh
. When I was yourg" is the poetry Of Od Age.
Ye beautiful hopes of Boyhood!
Where have We strayed away!
Gone like the summer shower.
Passed like the summer day!
I see your bright eye glancing
By the brook and in the glen
Ye beautiful hopes of Boyhood,
Come ye not back againl
Ye beautiful hopes of Manhood,
Image of Boyhood's hour,
I feel your warm breath on me,
And oh :. its thrilling power!
And hear your angel footballs
In the breeze that fans me now;
And the touch of your gentle fingers
In the coolness of my brow.
All sunlight are your pinions,
All golden is your track
And the silver Of your whisper
Says we are coming back:
Here take this crystal tear drop,
From purest Joy distilled;
o beautiful hopes of Manhood,
My fond heart We have filled!
You're singing your organ-anihem
In the chambers of my soul,
And the musical waves come rolling
As waves Of the ocean roll:
With snowy wings now folded,
On with the syren song;
Ye beautiful hopes Of Manhood,
Will ye not tarry long

How easy it is to learn in English the
force of this consonantal radical pl AL
that is necessary is to group together the
words in which it occurs, and its general
meaning is apparent. But what boy under
twenty ever discovers that conpleko in
Greek, OF complico in Latin, has any con-
nection with couple in English? If he
knows what the radical is in his own Ian
guage and compreheuds its meaning, he
will be at no loss to master, rithout dc
tionory, the meaning Of over a hundred
words in Greek, hundred and ninety in
Latin, and nearly as many in each of the
languages derived from Latin. In French
alone, he would translate at sight the large
number Of derivatives from plier, plisser,
ployer, e.rpliquer, dc.
A boy has no business with the abstrac-
tions of grammar. He learns English by
hearing it spoken by intelligent persons.
When he is old enough to turn his atten-
tion to its formation, the most important
thing for him to know is that every Ian
guage consists of few radical and numcr-
GUS derivative or secondary words; that
M, =, B, p, and I, change easily into each
other, while the same is true of :, S, I, III,
and d, and of other families of letters and
that the meaning of the radical consonan-
tai frame is modified by prefxes, sufixes
and substitution of intermediate vowels.
Show him that the general idea of diirisioa
or separation or cutting may be applied to
the cutting up Of an apple for distribution
(share,) to the political division of terri
tory (shirc,) } to the separation of wool from
sleeps back (ssear and shorn,) to the
division line between land and ocean
(shore, to the abbreviated state of thing
divided (short,) to the quality of cutting
instrument sharp, )or to indicate the name
of an animal formidably armed for cutting
up his prey (siark,) and you will have
little trouble in teaching him the force Of
the consOnants sh-r in radical syllable;
or, if you would demonstrate to him that
radical words are connected by affiliations

such word. Rug and Rough, Rugged and

ten thousand dollar subscriptions, have
never been heard of in our church, altho'
such subscriptions are not seldom in many

LEWISBURG, UNION COUNTY, PENN, FRIDAY JUNE 2, 1854

misspent years! Ifthey had been devoted
to the study Of natural history, botany,
geology, chemistry physica science, mathe-
matics, machinery, drawing, the arts OF
industrial life, music, photography and
book keeping, we might have been prepared
to enter upon the duties Of life on foot
ing of equality with what arc styled "self-
taught men," we might have been useful
to our day and generation as an inventor,
man of science, thorough business man
or an artist. But alas the bright days #
youth were passed the acquisition Of
languages, which have been as useful to
US as the lingo Of tribe Of missionary
eating Kamschatkans.
Latin and Greek may and should be
studied by certain persons; but English
should first be studied, and no unneces-
sary difficulties interposed.
Some well-meaning, goodish people put
stripping to learning Latin, as the read
lest way of learning English. One throws
light on the other, they say. And so
they would recommend medical student
to spend all his time on geology, law
student in Pennsylvania to devote himself
to the codes in force in China and the East
Indies, and a soldier to learn fencing by
throwing knives Ia Chinoise. No, to
learn English, one must study English.
But it is said that many words in English
are similar to words in Latin. Granted /;
and if you study them we'll in English,
which you know, you will recognize them
should you ever meet them in Latin, which
you do not know. If you have studied
the force in English of the consonantal
frame g-n or KIN of a radix, in the words,
genus, general, generate, genesis, gcnitive,
gentle, genealogical, genuine, gcnethliae,
generous, genteel, gentle, genial, kin, Kind,
Kindred, &C., you will comprehend similar
Latin words at glance. Take another
case: P-L, often changed into FL, is
a consonantal frame found Fin several
languages. Its general sense is .to'd. We
find it in English in an immense family
of words. We give few Of the principal
