Professor Swing has been instituting a compar-
tson between billiards and morals, or their rela-
tions and relative merits, and presents his views
In the last number of the Alliance as follows
tFive billiard-tables have been placed in Prince
ton College for the of the students. Princeton
College is the place where true Presbyterian sons
nre educated. From Princeton College come
many of the Presbyterian teachers that do good
in all this wide land. Around that college dwell
the great theOlogians of Cavinism, and ever 1t
presdes DR.. McCosh, brought from far country
ut great price Into associations orthodox
and grave, into that venerable old pile called
Princeton College, profane express wagons have
just driven, and in the presence Of an astonished
and alarmed universe have unloaded five billiard
tables Of Brunswick's best fashion All this, too,
without any moral catastrophe, either local or
widespread. We have no fault TO find with this
strange freak of Calvinism. On the contrary we
thank the brave DIR. McCosh for this invasion of
an old State under the banner Of strange device
the ivory balls and the cue. We love to see an
elegant and healthful amusement taken away
from the saloons Of Satan and given to the halls
to permit the devil to have all the good music,
it was 4 blunder Of the Church to permit
amnsements Man is an animal that mnst he
amused. Labor of one kind always induces stu
pidity. The hours of amusement wake up the in
telleet and the heart and help to make life all
fresh and new. Now, man, being such lover of
diversion, and his games being as valuable as his
toll, it was a sin worthy Of much repentance that
the Church ignored the happiness Of games, and
compelled its youth to steal recreation from pacs
it was unlawful to entee. For generations the re-
ligious guides of the young permitted them the
free use of only such games as were too stupid to
be interesting. As slow, whining tunes were de-
cared sacred and the high art in tones of voice or
instrument was declared TO be of Satan so amuse-
ments that offered absolute beauty and delight
were declared wicked, and those were only toll
Grated which contained within them all the ele-
mentS of stupidity. This robbed all when
young of the ivory ball and the cue and gave us
checkers and shinny. Where the climate is Sc
we're and the winters long the best indoor games
are demanded. Chess is too painfully cOnfining
to both body and mind. 1t is too much like a con-
tinuation Of labor. We should soon keep a
ledger as play chess. PrincetOnan billiards is
game that involves walking to and fro, and, in
deed all kinds of pOsturing and it admits of con-
yersation and all the ease of home sitting room.
1t offers few occasions of dispute and ill-temper.
Surveying the field of sport, we see no game more
worthy of the ardent affection of the Presbyterian
president, McCOsh, than this play Of the balls

When Dante First Saw Beatrice.

One day, in FOlcO Portinari's great house round
the corner, there friendly gathering. 1t
was in the year 1275-just six centuries ago-and
all the neghbOrs were invited, ,as was natural and
seemly, parents and children, to celebrate the
coming of the May. The sweet delusion of the
May to which, deceived by our poets, themselves
led into the error by Southern trOubadours, we
cling with fond and foolish faith which is always
disappointed but never shaken, even in these
colder regions is delusion in Italy. The Tuscan
May is something like, we should suppose, what
weather is in Heaven. and, frankly, given that
exemption from grief and evil which is the first
condition of Heaven. 1t is scarcely possible to
fancy what any one could desire more for simple
blessedness The FIorentines had the habit in
those early days, of going about the streets in
bands. the riHciRato now assembled by one
neighbor, now by another. with dancing and de-
light" di feSteggidr FeltrdRte primduerd. Upon
this special May that good and rich FOlco who
afterwards built the great hospital, gave the
feast to his neighbOrs, The story is told by two
rare histOrian-Dante himself, in the curl
Gus exaltation of his "Vita Nuova," and
BoccaccO. We will let the old story teller, unr-
vailed in his craft, give his less impasSOned de-
scrptiOn first: 1T happened that FOlco POrtinari,
n man of great honor in those times among the
citizens, had assembled the neighbors in his house
10 entertain them, teSteggiGre, among whom was
the young man called Alighieri, whom (snce lit
tie children, especially in places of merrymaking,
are accustomed TO 90 with their parents) Dante,
not having yet completed his ninth year, had ac-
companied. And ithappened that with the others
of his age, of whom, both boys and girls, there
were many in the house, after he had served at
the first tables much his tender age per-
nitted, childishly with the others he began to
play There was among the crowd of children a
daughter of the abOYe-named FOlcO, whose name
was Bice, (though he always called her Beatrice,
her formal name) who was about eight years
old, gay and beautiful in her childish fashion,
and in her behavior very gentle and agreeable;
with habits and language more serious and
modest than her age warranted; and, besides this,
with features delicate and so beautifully regu-
lated and full, besides mere beauty, of so much
candid lOYeliness that many thought her almost
an angel. This girl then, such as described her,
and perhaps even more beautiful, appeared at the
feStd-nOt, suppose for the first time but for the
first time in power to create lOye-befOre the eyes
image into his heart with so much affection that
from that day henceforward- as long as he lived.
it never again parted from him The Vita Nuova''
of Dante is the story told in detail of the love
which thus began-a love which has been per-
haps more questioned. criticised. and commented
