ORMsBY's SPELLING BoCK.-Most persons who re-
ceved their education forty years ago will recolect
being required to commit to memory set lessons in
Defnitions,the dullest, dryest and least useful of
studies. The writerrecoects making several resolute
beginnings at "Abacus" in Johnson's Dictionary
which ended in determination" In Spelling Book
called Progressive Lessons in the English Language
an attempt is made to revive the old fashioned prac
tce of teaching children the meaning of words before
they have occasion to use thcm and before they meet
with them in reading. Mr. Abbotts method of teach
ing tho meaning Of words in his admirable series the
Rollo Books is here reversed.
Mr. Ormsbys Spelling Book is now before the pub
lie, and is candidate fornroduction into the schools
Of Vermont. As such it is fair subject Of criticism
In this work, Reading Lessons are interspersed with
Lessons in Spelling and Definition, made up of dis
connected sentences and paragraphs, written for the
purpose of introducing certain words and showing
their meaning The anthor in his Preface, expresses
wish to 'lmpar to the scholars II taste for reading
But one can hardly imagine that an elementary work
could he contrved, more likely produce the opposite

An hour in the Dead Letter Office.

A female correspondent of Life Illus.
trated gives the following account of n
visit TO the dead letter Office Mt Wash.
ington:--
We had been fortunate enough to
procure tho entree TO this place through
special favor and influence, although
as general thing, no visitors are ad.
mtted. II was q large, light room
with two or three desks at which were
seated aged officials in silent occupation
among literal drifts Of letters. The
walls We're lined on every side with
huge mail sacks which had been return.
ed full of unclaimed epistles, from my,
riads Of post offices, thore might have
been fifty or hundred Of those sacks
and each probably contained thousands
on thousands Of lettersl
"How rapidly you dispose of them T
said l watching the lightning speed
with which the clerks tore open the epis
ties, glanced over thom 10 see that M
drafts, check, or other important docu.
ments were inclosed, and then threw
them upon an immense heap Of opened
letters at their feet.
"Itis oil in habit ma'am," said the
gentleman nearest me. 1--WE are accus
toned to open u certain number daily
and those who do not understand the
expedition and accuracy with which We
work, would seem almost Incredible"
As he spoke, tiny gold ring rolled
from the folds Of a rose tinted letter
whose pages were evidently writer
over by delicate female hand.
- ohilds ring" he said, taking u
up, "wonld You llko to look Of u
ma'am

circlet Of virgin gold, with the words

and wondered who the Mary" was
and whether the little "E. T." who ney
or received tho tiny gilt, was dead O
living. ~
Meanwhile, the clerk had been TAX
ing a rapid note Of tho signature, direc
tion, etc.
"What will you do with it2" I In
quired, returning the ring TO his care.
1--WE lay oil such things aside, in cas-
they should be called for" ~
"And are they often redeemed?' p
mot often, not once IN hundred in
stancea," he replied, taking little gol'
dollar from beneath the seal Of anothe
letter, and laying IL carefully opf tn
desk. -
We stood In silonco. regarding tn
pile of opened letters which was grow
ing higher with letters every moment
II was strange medley OF styles an

huge sheets Of foolscap, In q manne
that conveyed the impression TO you
