Coon AND GoopY.-A popular American
magazinist, In an article describing the INC
OF q 'sselfmade" business man, Remarks
that he didn't spend his youthful days IN
the frivolous manner depicted IN rom
Brown at Rugby" and Mr.. Thos. Hughes
is told with an exceedingly wise shake OF
the head that that is not the way boys &c
who grow up TO become great ana gooO
men. Oh, no. not at all. AS we all know
great and good men in their boyhood apnol
foot. ball and hare-and-hounds; they love
their hooks above all things; and emulate
the illustrious Washington. except ihat
they never me(ltllc with hatchetS.
stuff. Haven't we had enough OF the
miserable pretence that boys should be ut
tie old men. We thought it was an exploded
heresv, that there was anything inconsistent
In boys being thoroughly fond of fun, and
at the same time a manly fellow and faith
full student. More than that, we believe
that boy who does not heartily enjoy play,
and throw himself into it with Zest, Is gene
rally far less likely to be in the long run
successful worker OF of heathtul character.
Mir. Hughes himself, when student ut On
ford, was not only on the - University
Eight" and the cricket Eleven but
took "tlst-claSs" honorS-double first
class, if we mistake not-in scholarship. 1t
anv one asks why in his books he dWells on
the play and not on the study, we presume
that the answer is that the former is far
more susceptible of graphic and interesting
description. Who can make a series OF
vivid pictures Out of the Students quiet
labors: The Tom Brown books are likely.
~ every reader must feel, to have most
healthy and admirable effect on moral
character. Why find fault with them Tor
not making mathematics appear delightful
and Greek ode more fascinating than
boat race p Christian Union.
