Latin and Greek.

Greek and Latin are dead languages
they are not spoken tongues. The litera-
lures they contain belong to the past /;
the nations to which they belong, the
societies of which they speak, the social
and political feelings they paint, have
passed away; and these are very great
matters indeed for the purposes of edu-
cation. Living languages are learned
by the ear; they are imbibed without
thought or effort; they need awaken
little reflection or Judgment; their pos
session does not necessarily imply any
great development of mind or soul.
Many stupid, dull little boy can speak
two or three languages if he has had as
many nurses; and his intellectual facul-
ties may have been but slightly called
into exercise by the process of acqui-
sition. A proposition in Euclid can do
more good, educationally, than many
days spent in catching foreign tongue
orally. There is want of difficulty,
an absence of effort, lack of compul-
sion on the mind to bring its resources
into action, which renders living Ian
guages tool of small value and eff

Payments for which the power of speak
ing foreign language may be strong

what is termed useful knowledge. Lord
Clarendon attached much importance to
young men destined for diplomacy
being taught to speak French easily
and gracefully; but this is profess
sional accomplishment-the useful; it
is not that general education which we
are here discussing. AS was said before,
there ought to be an adequate amount
in all training Of these useful qualifi-
cations, but what is now contended for
is that there ought to be, that there
must be, the general culture also; and
that this general culture, this broad de-
velopment of boys whole nature, is
incomparably better effected by the
dead languages, by Greek and Latin,
than by anything else.-Bonamy Price,

How to Cook Fish.

Mr.. l.. Delmonico, the famous New
YORK caterer, has been telling the pub
lie the best ways of cooking fish. Boil
ing seems to him the "most legitimate, y
as well as quickest and most convenient.
His direction is to "put them in cold
spring water-the less the quantity of
water that the fish can he boiled in the
better-with handful of salt Rub a
little vinegar on the skin of the fish, to
prevent it from cracking, and to make
the flesh solid. Ten minutes to the
pound should be allowed for salmon,
and three or four minutes for almost
any other kind; but good, general
rule is that the fish is done when the
fins pull out easily" Mr.. Delmonico
also says that broiled fish should be
carefully split in two from head to tell,
dried, seasoned with salt and pepper,
creased with little oil (Which is pre-
ferable to butter), and broiled to nice
brown color, the gridiron having been
previously well creased, too that baked
fish, to be eaten in perfection, should
be cooked with wine, either white or
red, in the baking-dish, besides chopped
onion, SALT pepper, and nutmeg, and
while cooking this sauce should be
spread over it several times;" and that
small fish may be "dehciously fried in
oil, after dipping in milk and then -four,
or in very hot grease, after being Dreaded
with beaten eggs and crumbs"
