Many anecdotes are told of Sheri-
dap, illustrative of his wit and ex-
travagance. A good saying is at
tributed to his son Tom who on being
told by his father that he had made
his will and cut him off with shil-
ling, said he was very sorry, and i'm
mediately added, "you don't happen
to have the shilling about you now,
sir, do you?' Then there was Sheri-
dams to Lord Lauderdale, on the lat
ter sayin 6 that he would repeat some
joke that the former had told him,
"Pray don't, my dear Lauderdale
joke in your mouth is no laughing
matter" One Of his practical jokes
was taking Dowton's gig to come to
town, while Dowton, with all the pa
tlence and sturdiness of dun, was
waiting in the parlor to see him. To
show his carelessness in money mat,
ters it is related that the butler once
found the window frames stuffed with
paper to keep them from rafting, and,
on taking them out saw they were
bank notes, which Sheridan had used
tor this purpose some stormy night
and never missed them.

He laughed heartily at poor Ellen''
simplicity, and crumpling the refuSa
in his hand, put it in his pocket.
Ellen looked in vain for his coming
and she was not greatly surprised
when, two weeks later, rumors came
that he was already paying court tc
another-the new tavorite being none
other than Kate Sancston.
When the tidings came to the ears
Of Edward Horan, he sat for hours
locked in his own room. Then he
walked over to Donovan Farm. Ellen
was alone she greeted him with a
faint smile as he entered, but there
was no response in his determined
gaze. She began to tremble had he
heard of Timothys behavior, and was
he come so soon to press bis suit a.
gain Could he be so unkind, so in
considerate ?
Edward, approaching, took Ellen's
two hands in his, and looked for a
second, intently at the features, which
so bravely, tried to hide the misery,
which was only, too visible.
"Ellen,' he sad, at last, 'you love
this man?'
Il did, Edward" she replied sor-
rowfully,
Did? Speak truly, Ellen-you
still love him p
She was silent moment then,
bursting into tears, hid her face in her
hands.
"Oh, Edward why do you ask..me =?
Can u woman's love change as the
wind ?"
a few moments she raised her
head. She was alone. Edward Ho-
ran had gone.

From tho n. Y. Observer.
Taxation and Teaching.

We want to Get at the root OF this
question Of TEACHING at the public ex-
pense. Whence comes the RICH. OF
the State to take money of the people,
by general tax, and spend it on pub
lie schools ? Take the question now
before the Board of Education in this
city ard other cities:
'OUGHT FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO BE
TAUGHT IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
We say no. The Board has no
RIGHT to expend q cent upon such in
struction.
We admit the value Of linguistic
studies. We know that rich treasures
are to be found in other languages -
We know that our immense immi-
grafton has given Importance especi-
ally to German that it is a noble
language, valuable in business, and
indispensable in most of the higher
walks Of learning. But the studies Of
our public schools ought to be only in
the speech Of the country.
The system otpubIic education rests
on the right and duty of the State to
develop good citizens. Whateverlies
beyond this PROVENCE is out of the
reach Of the State, and the money
needed to secure it cannot rightfully
be raised by taxation Luxtries, or
technical training, or special studies
must be provided for at the expense
Of the individual, or by voluntary con-
tribution. The State is under obliga
ton to provide only that which is
necessary for its welfare.
Again, English is the language of
our country. We need the bond of a
national tongue to strengthed our
national life. 1t is the duty of the
cate to tain its children, native or
foreign-born, only in the language
which the State recognizes. We are
Americans. And while we have not
Il word against the most devoted re-
membrapce of "Fatherland' and the
sold Country )" and while we wei
come St Patrick, and st, David, and
st. Andrew, and st. George, and all
the rest Of the calendar, so long as
they behave themselves as good a
merican citizens, we must remember
that the money and the institutions
of the nation must be for the nation,
not to maintain Il confederation of
cliques, or parties dependent on a
foreign life. 1t may be well that our
children have q broader culture, but
the work of providing it lies out of
the province of the State. And what
we need more than culture in foreign
speech, or ideas, is deeper and firm
er unity. One of our strongest bonds
is our common language. The soon
er all who dwell here are trained in
the speech of the country, the sooner
we shall escape divided interests and
causes Of separation.
The experiments that have been
made in the retention of foreign

Love is better than house and lands;
So, Sir Stephen, III ride with thee y
Quick she steps where the courser stands,
Light she springs to the saddl e-tree.
Love is better than kit or kin:
So close she clung and 80 close clasped lie
They heard no sob Of the bitter wind,
Nor the snow that shuddered along the lea
Love is better than life Or breath
The drifts are over the horses knee;
Softly they sink to the soft, cold death,
And the snOw-shroud folds them silently.
Houses and lands are gone for aye,
Kit and kin like wild wind flee,
Life and breath have auttered away,
But love hath blossomed eternally.

tongue, as for insta"ce, by the Penn
sylvanla Germans, STOW what evils it
may work. And oro source of even
the little power the Commune, has in
our country, is in foreign language and
foreign habits Of thought and moral
ity with which it has been connected.
The spirit of nation is in its speech.
a foreign tongue maintains a foreign
spirit And as one of the duties Of
the State is to mould good Americans
out Of all foreign materials, it should
train its children in that which ex-
presses the American spirit. For the
good Of childrtn'of foreign parentage,
let us give them only that which will
soonest fit them for their home
Again, in our school system we
have no time nor place for another
language. There is a certain amount
Of instruction, certain facts Of science,
art, politics, morality and life, and
certain departments of learning which
every child ought to receive, because
he is to be a citizen, But n foreign
language is not an essential in an
education for American citizenship
English covers all the groand with
which the State can deal, and covers
it abundantly.
The standard of our common school
training in the language of our coun-
cry is not 50 high that our scholars
need sigh for new worlds to conquer.
Our best teachers mourn over the
superficiality Of American school
work. And until we have outgrown
the habit Of smattering in English
there is no need of using time and
strength to.add a smattering of Ger
man or French. Experiments in the
use Of German in some Of our lower
grade schools have shown that it tends
to make poor English scholars.--
However useful any foreign tongue
may be to any child, either for bust
ness or for mental discipline, English
is the instrument on which he must
rely in America We need a more
thorough knowledge of our own
tongue, and more skill in its use.
How many scholars, even in some
Of the highe" grades of our schools,
can be trusted to write a well-spelled
letter or to talk grammatically or pro
nounce correctly There is a wealth
Of knowledge and training in English
of which our scholars have little concep.
ton. All they really need lies at handin
their own tongue, and it is better to
use the scaDt time of our public school
life in drawing deeper drauyhts from
the well of English undeiiled, than to
dilute it with few drops Of poor
German. Every department which,
after careful consideration, has been
deemed necessary for our public
school course is developed in English
far beyond any point to which the
common schools can be carried
What we need is more and better
English, and more thorough training
in the departments that are necessary
to fit child for his duties as an
American.
Ifparents would have their child
ren taught Latin, Greek, Hebrew,
French, German, Spanish, or any
other tongue than English, let them
pay for It, We will not pay taxes to
leach the Hebrew children Hebrew,
nor the Swedish children Swedish,
Dor the German children German, nor
children French. We pay
.or our own luxuries, and we wish not
10 be taxed to extend those luxuries
% our neigh borss If they want them,
ct them buy them, as we do.
