LETTER WRITING,


Perhaps no subject connected with
our school work is of more practical
Importance than letter-writing And
yet the subject is almost entirely
neglected in majority of our schools.
This should not be. A subject which
is so prominently practical should
receive due attention. Nor is it al
difficult subject to teach, but may be
as easily mastered by the pupil as the
rudiments Of drawing or penmanship.
We wish to throw out a few hints for
the assistance of teachers. The first
and one of the most important things
to be considered in the mechanical
structure of letter is the securing of
proper materials. These consist of
Paper, Envelopes, Pen, and Ink, and
should all be Of the very best quality.
1t is impossible to do good work with
poor materials.
Paper-For business letters the size
known a "letter paper is usually pre-
ferred. For letters of friendship "com-
mercial note" is more frequently used.
In color use white or that which is
very slightly tinted.
Envelopes-Let the envelopes al
ways correspond in size to the paper
used, and be white or buff in color, and
always of a good quality.
Pens and Ink-N othing need be
said in reference to these except that
they must be of the best quality. 1
Another important consideration in
the structure Of a letter is legibility
Everything else should be sacrificed tC
legibility. Aside from the waste Of
time and patience in deciphering bat
chirography, it not infrequently hap
pens that serious mistakes occur, in
volving the loss of money, from no
writing plainly. A merchant in Balti
more, wrote an order to a firm in New
Orleans, for one hundred boxes Of col
lars. In few days he received on,
hundred bales Of cotton And in
lawsuit arising out of the transaction
he lost his case; for neither Judge
lawyers, nor jury could make any
thing of it. Insist upon legibility il
all work done by pupils.
Closely connected with this, is uni
formity in the size Of the letters, ant
proper spacing. Close attention Il
details in these matters will add mucl
to the appearance of the letter, and tt
the character of the writer for neat
ness and accuracy.
Besides these, the heading or date, TIL,
address, the body of the letter, tn,
subscription, and the superscriptiol
must each receive careful attention il
reference tc position, punctuation ant
capitalization.
We have considered only the me
chGnjcGI structure of the letter anC
not its literary character 10 affair
anything like perfection in the latter
requires both culture and practice, bur
the former can be mastered by TIE
average school-boy and schoolgirl, ant
certainly should be by every teacher
For further details and directions or
this important subject, the reader is re
ferred to ToWnsends analysis OF
Letter. Writing" copy of which
should be in the the hands Of every
teacher.

TAINE'S PHILOSOPHY.

Ferhaps no work for many wears
has attracted more attention or been
more admired by its thousands Of read
ers than Taine's English Literature.
liz presents a series of brilliant pictures
OF English life and society during the
several periods in which the Saxons,
the Normans and the modern English
nave held sway in England.
Inc LIE, manners and customs Of the
people are portrayed with a mastery
hand often, it is true, with a great
protuseness of language and vet with
SO much elegance and vivacity that its
alffuSeness is rather merit than >
oeIect. we seem to see those. hardy
old Britons as they revel and quarrel
ana fight; and we are almost ready to
take up arms and follow them in their
Wild and daring encounters: and when
the tiger strife is over" and victory
has been achieved, we join most hartilv
with them in their feasts of rejoicing
and in their songs of victory.
The great value and need Of s,lch .
work as Taine's is very manifest. AS
a reliable history Of English society in
respect to literature, it stands without
anVel. We can easily make allowances
LOT the excess of coloring and the one
sldedness which sometimes mar it's
pages when we once grasp the princi-
pies which lie at the foundation Of the
work.

TEN MILES OF RAILROAD IRA CR
BALLASI,ED WITH SAND FROM
-FOREIGN COUNTRIES. -
A matter that has often created great
surprise to travellers on the p, w. u b.
d X. X. when told of the circumstance, and
which is not generally known, is that the
track for over ten miles this side of Can
ton, in Baltimore, is ballasted with sand
and gravel from almost every country
in the world, This announcement will
no doubt cause surprise to those who do
not already know it, and persons will
naturally inquire why the company
should get sand and gravel from other
countries when they own plenty of their
own. r.s +
The reason why is as follows The
Company own large number of wharves
at Canton, where oil is generally loaded
on board of vessels and shipped to Rus
sia, Turkey, France, Spain, Portugal and
other countries in Europe.
When the vessels arrive at the wharves
they are generally in ballast, having on
board thousands of pounds of sand and
gravel, which of course they are obliged
to leave after loading with oil, sometimes
the captains of the vessels paying for the
privilege of allowing it to remain. The
Company then haul it from the wharves,
1t being much cheaper than to dig it from
their own banks and ballast the track
with it.
Sometimes there is large amount OF
oral,which is generally sold to furniture
dealers.

DR.. Hicks, referring to a train of
thoughts suggested in the chapter which
they had just heard, remarked that when
such man as st. Paul spoke about being
with the brethren in weakness and fear
it was not strange that there should be a
spirit OF diffidence among many of US;
ana yet many who have been among the
leading benefactors of their race have
had the same weakness with which to
contend but through faith in Christ have

Isaiah Starr felt an increased desire to
perform his whole duty. To any who
might be out of the fold he would say,
yield to the power Of that spirit and sur
render to God
Prof. Seymour said that a work which
was of the Holy Spirit could not fail to
be one in which every one must be in
terested and it was essential that all
should be engaged. t.i

span. Many here had already reached
the noon of life, their sun would soon &c
down. God had portioned out our time
into moments and would have no moment
lost, so each passing mnment should be
improved to the good of our fellowmen
! DR.. Shelp spoke of the danger to the
| peace and order of communities, arising
from drunkenness. Many crimes were
committed in a state of seim-unconseious
intoxication, but the law of self preser
vation demanded that such criminals
should be held to full accountability
A gentlemen whose name we failed tc
obtain spoke earnestly in regard to the
duty of every one becoming true soldier
of the cross.
Rev. J. B. Mann, wished that while
the public mind is being well prepared to
receive it, every temperance man would
take step forward. He thought they
never had the ear and attention of the
people of Wilmington and of the State
before, as they have at this time, anG
that they could make an impression fol
good on the line of thought that he had
before suggested and would reiteratt
now, that would be lasting in its effects
and bring forth fruit for the glory o.
God.
DIR. Hicks now invited any person
wishing TO present the opposite side OF
this question to reply to brother Mann's
remarks.

would come in they should have chance
