Webster's
Late Educational Testimony.


Worthy of the proud place 1t occupies rs the
great standard dictionary of our good English
language. l say standard, for while few schol-
airs and others, here and there, prefer other die
tionaries, Webster's is beyond dispute the book
of the people, the common standard of appeal
among the great masses, learned and unlearned
of our land.-Hon. j. N. Gregory, Sup. Pub. ms.
Michigan
at is a noble work. and does you infinite
credit. Il. O. Draper, State Supt Mtchi-
gan, August, 1859.
More than ever Is the book necessary ar
ticle in the school house, and in the family where
learning and literature have place.
We had the curiosity to examine with n magni-
fer some Of these engravings, and compared
them with steel engrayings in bank notes, and
found the illustrations often equally good, some
times superior. None but n teacher, or an intel
ligent parent, can estimate how valuable these
eighty pages of illusti atoms are. The placing
all the illustrations in separate part of the
volume has allowed the printing of them to be
executed in much better style than if they had
been incorporated in the text.-Hlinois Teacher,
AUgust 1859.
In Definitions Webster is unrivaled webster's
Etymoiogy is admirable. Nearly all American
newspapers and books spell according to Web
ster To dethrone Webster from the affections
of the American people would be greater rev.
olution than has been witnessed since the Cru
sadcs.-Cor Michigan Journal Of Education,
august 1859.
The value Of the dictionary Is materially in
creased by the additions, and we do not see how
it can be improved in any respect. The ack-
nowledged standard in our State the thanks Of
the public are due the enterprising publishers
for their unremitting exertons in keeping the
work full up to the progress of our language.-
Wis. Journal Of Education, August, 1859.
In all respects a book of unsurpassed worth.
Conn. Com. School journal.
We consider the additions have more than
doubled the value of the work for ordinary use.
Ind. School Journal.
That this will be the most valuable edition of
any dictionary in the English language no one
can for moment doubt.--Iolca School Journal,
July, 1859.
We may safely say, that Webster's Dictionary,
Pictorial Edition, Unabridged is the most COM
we have ever seen. In the completeness of its
and fullness Of its definitions, Webster's Dction-
airy stands pre-eminent and in photography il
is followed by majority of American writers,
so far as our observation extends.-N. Carolina

NEVER. TOO OLD TO LEARN.--Socra-
ties, at an extreme age, learned to play on
musical instruments.
Cato, at eighty years of age, thought
proper to learn the Greek language.
Pluiarch, when between seventy and
eighty, commenced the study of Latin.

ences in his youth, but commenced the
study Of them when he was between fifty
and sixty years of age. After this time
he became most learned antiquarian
end lawyer.
Colbert, the famous French minister,
at sixty years Of age returned to his Lat
in and law studies.
Ludovico, at the great age of lis,

singular exertion, noticed by Voltaire,

able instances of the progress of age in
new studies.
Ogilby, the translator Of Homer and
Virgil, was unacquainted with Latin and
Greek till he was past the age of fifty.
Franklin did not commence his philo-
sophical pursuits till he had reached his
fiftieth year.
Accorso great lawyer, being asked
why be began the study of law so late,
answered that indeed he began it late,
but he should therefore master it the
sooner.

Grow SEEDING FRUITs.-Some of
the very best Of our fruits, both large and
small ere seedlings OF recent origin
Instance, the Ho,ey, Wilson, Hooker,
Charlton, Bartlett, and other Strawber-
ries; the Lawton, Dorchester, and Thorn
less Blackberries; the Falstaff, and other
RNspberries; the Cherry Currant; the
Delaware, Diana, Anna, Rebecca, aud 9th
er Grapes; and new Pears, Apples, and
Potatoes, almost without number. All,
and more than we have room 10 mention,
grown from seed that somebody has
planted and nurtured into lifo, and tend
ed till producing fruit Of its kind, and un-
ill one out Of a thousand is found far ex-
ceoding the original; and then it brings
not only a fortune TO its originator, but it
adds comfort, happiness, wealth, and
health to many of the human family
So we say,plant seeds and grow seedlings.
Now Is the time to prepare the seed be-
fore winter sets in.

PRoTEoT THE RooTs OF TREEs.--Most
trees in this latitude will receive benefit
by winter protection. Nature provides
this in forests by depositing the leaves
which have formed their summer cloth
ing, upon the ground beneath which most
of the vitality is stored in tho roots
They form a loose covering containing
much air, thus securing several degrees of
warmth TO the surface below. In addi-
ton to the benefit thus derived, the de-
caying of the leaves supplies top dress
ing of the best kind of nourishment for
the future growth of the tree. Stable
manure affords good protection, but it is
not SO well adapted for aflording nourish-
ment. A compost in which leaves form
the largest proportion, spread literally, at
least an inch deep, over the whole surface
under the tree, TO be forked in the follow
spring, Will be highly beneficial. A tree
may live and grow without these precau-
tions, but IFS thrift will be greatly promo
ted by observing them.
