PHOMOTYPY. A
There is, and always has been needed
. reformation in our photography. To
master Webstert, or any other spelling
book q our present system requires al
most the same amount Of labor and time
that L does to acquire several foreign Ian.
guages and many even with all that labor
never do learn to spell. There is no rule
to guide tbe learner as in the more refined
languages Of Europe, and consequently
much of our spelling must be done by q
mere effort Of the memory. We have
enough letters, fthe same ones could only
be used ~ they should be, to express the
same sounds; but such is far from the case.
This irregularity confases child, 30 also
every foreigner who attempts to learn our
language. Ono might ask either to pro-
nounce pillow, and if he has never been
further than the monosyllables in some
spelling book, he will know from the let.
tiers themselves what pronunciation to give;
but tell him to pronounce plough, and
he will never know until he is told. So
with many other words, the spelling is one
thing and the pronunciation another. The
letters seem hustlsd together in the most
ineongruous manner, without any regard
whatever to their sounds. Il is both wrong
and useless to have SO many words spelled
differently that arc pronounced alike, also
words spelled alike that arc pronounced
differently. Now to remedy this evil the
Phonetic system has been invented with its
array Of uncouth and outlandish letters.
II may possess many advantages over the
old system; but that it IL tho best that
could Be done 10 another question. Alto.
gether, the remedy seems worse than the
evil. The paramount objection would seem
the introduction Of 90 many new charac.
tiers into our alphabet when we already
have enough if properly applied. The
most civilized nations, both ancient and
modern, have used the iewest letters, some
even les than twsnty-six. The moro con.
cise and simple We render written Ian.
guage tho better it i, and the easier
lssrned. Much Of the English Is derived
from the Latin, both directly and through
tho medium Of tho French, and Ill our d.
phabet except W. A great deal could b
done by dropping more q our silent lot
tsrs. Ihsu oar spelling would b easier.
ard ths classic origin of'so many words
and phrases thaf enrich and beautify the
English language, would not Be- lost
Every teacher Of any experience knews
ths task his Or many children 10 learn
only stwenty.six letters, and the effort h
requires sometime afterwards to remember

they required ons, and eyen two years to

CASE ron SYMPATHY.

The Buffalo Republic, one Of the inten'
siied negro worshippers, states that a few
DAYS AGO, "a negro, fat and wholesome,
with about I pound and half Of rags on
hi, person" called at the police office in
that city. and waited some time for the
Justice. The Republic then adds: 'lhe
Justice came, and then this greasy black
man told his story. His name was John
Wright, and he had been slave in Mid
dletown, Delaware, and was owned there,
and ran away in 1855. He had had q
hard time Of it. The people Of Canada
didn't want him over there-nobody want
ed him. and he didn't want nobody-he
didn't care for anything-he wanted 10 60
to the peni,en,iary, make his will, and end
his days there"
And this is the story told by paper
that delights to picture the successful es-
cape of "a painting fugitive" from his mas
ter to the ':soil Of Freedom !" How it
reioices to record the success with which
the Constitution is violated, the laws tram.
pied upon, and the officers shot down, that
tone Of Gods images may walk erect in
the dignity Of manhood, and tread the
blessed soil of Canada" which, say the
Abolitionists, is not cursed by written
Constitution recognizing property in man!
Yet when the poor fugitive has tasted the
bleak air Of Canadian freedom, and be-
comes faded and worn down for want OF
those common necessaries Of life which
he enjoyed at home in profasion, and re-
turns 10 Buffalo, where negro worshippers
and Constitution breakers abound, the
same papers who hailed his escape to
freedom with so much applause, style him
a "greasy negro" and almost deny him
the boon of dying in the almshouse.
In this case, the Justice sent the poor
negro to the work horse for ninety days,
and the Republic speaks Of him as if he
were anything else than . human being.
shaving as much right to the freedom OF
soul and body Is his luxurious and tyranni-
cal master" -. =.
Has this recital no moral1 Here is a
man who was seduced from the service Of
his owner by these Abolitionists, with
promises Of liberty and the sweetness Of

THE STORY OF A K1Se' ''aa
D E D CATE TO ~,

"What are those people r.,di0. o.
Said Frederick, half aloud.
While, standing BY the window.
He saw an eager crowd.
High on wall adjoining
A paper had been stuck
The people stood on tip.,oe
To read, with wonder str,ck
One Of his six.soot guardsmeu 3gsse
Who heard him, answered, ..s;,.
Your Majesty permitting,
l hasten to enquire" - .+zt}
Soon, flushed with indignation.
The guard returned-sI eco II
IT'S an atrocious libel,
Upon your Majesty!' ssa.st
The King took out his snuf.bo,.
With more Of smile than f;ov,
"a libel, my good fellow!
Well, 60, and take it down.
-
Eyes, Sire !''-"Friend, stop mou..,,-
You'll take it down. indeed:
But just to place it lower,
So all with easy may read"
Pts done-around the soldier
Amazed the people stand,
And question Of his doings-
IT'S by the Kings commaMl
"He cares not what is written,
Or said, by friend or foe,
Content to ask his people,
Are these things true or nor
They spurned away the libel;
Its words had lost their weigh;-
A thunder rolled to heaven
"Live Frederick the Great I"
Now, this was not the weakness
Of good.natured fool
It was the manly wisdom !
Of ono that knew to rule.
Thou who to France hast giyea
Her former power and glory,
Complete thy own, BY taking
The moral Of my story.
Trust in thyself and people
In flues and prisons less-
To make all libels harmless,
Gioe freedoms to The press!
