The Iallueaee 81 Orthography ON
Morals.

The Importance d Education asa means
Of preventing crime Is generally admit
ted, and Tor that reason the present
popularity Of spelling bees is likely to
have marked effect on the criminal
statistics Of our country. Ii would be diff
cult to find ample grounds for this OPin-
ion. The reason so many persons write
illegibly IA because they cannot spell.
He Who cannot spell correctly does not
write plainly, but must use an affected
careIessness to hide a real ignorance.
This Is why the majority Of people al
ways. write Mississippi with capital N
and ! tail Of little "esSfsses and diseases,
like comet. Why nobody writes Massa-
chusetts or Tennessee a. plainly as they
are printed. Thus bad spelling leads at
once to autographed delitescence, one
Of the wors. oaenses known to the moral
Law. Hypocrisy is thus made an element
Of peumanship Bat the evil does not
stop here. The atHiCtiOn passes from the
writer to the reader Of the sCrawl. Bad
writing is productive Of profanity, and
who knows how much Horace Greeley or
Rufus Choate, public men with extensive
correspondents, have done to make
swearing national vice.
Colonel Forney, on the occasion Of one
Of Mr.. ChOate's great speeches, wrote him
Complimentary letter, in which he said
in his poelical way, 'You sum an heather
heaven in yourself, and top high crowned
olympusH Mr.. CholtG read the sentence
thus: @Yogs an heather in heaven,
You wretch, at top ay blown bumpus,'
and in d. Of anger wrote most abusive
reply, which Colonel FOrney still keeps
in his album a a cordial invitation to din
ner. We attribute to the great amount Of
their literary correspondents the prevail
encs Of blasPhemy among competitors,
the moral ruin Of many ProOt-reader
and the notorious habitual cuFsing Of
which Americans are accused. "Let me
spell the words Of a people," said Mon
tesquieu, "and ! care not who pays their
taxes" These words from one so pro-
found in learning should come to US with
weight that will prevent us from the
daily murder Of the English language.
