EDITED BY Z. G. TABER.

I'D. EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.-Answer
to the question at the head of education
al column, why is the capital letter used
in the word Heaven on page 322, in
quotation from Milton, and not used in
the same quotation on page 16l of
Green's Grammer?"
We think the word heaven in this
quotation is used as substitute for
God, a figure Of rhetoric in which one
word is substituted for another. as. "you
will address the Chair, chair for :presi-
dent, and according 10 note 2, under rule
l3, lin Harris Rhetoric) for capitals,
heaven Is sometimes, to mean the one
who reigns in Heaven, and in such cases
a capital should be used Therefore we
think the use of the capital is correct
The reason it is not used in both cases in
Greens Grammar, is possibly owing to an
error in the typography, or because It is
not clear. being decided, we think, by a
very fine exception to very fine rule as
to whether the word "heaven" is person
atei or not and means God in this case.

Gen. Scott's Little PrecautiOn.

The late Gen. Winfield Scott was a
man eminently of a practical turn of
mind. He profted by the lessons of ex-
perience He had suffered severely from
detraction and misrepresentation as to
conversations which had taken place be-
tween himself and certain women when
no one else was present He determined
that such thing should never occur
again, and resolved as rule Of his life,
that he would never have an interview
with woman without having a third
person present as a witness To this de-
termination, once formed. he adhered with
characteristic pertinacity, although by so
doing, he sometimes gave great offense
We remember one instance in which a
very highly cultivated, intriguing woman
who held confidential relations with for
elgn government, was extremely anxiou:
to have private talk with the old Gen.
eral; but he stubbornly refused, except
in the presence of a third person.
Would not Gen. Scots rule be good
one for clergymen to adopt? 1t would
save them from world of trouble.-Nesc
