THE STUDY OF ENGLISH.-Thep paper
read before the recent meeting of the
National Educational Association at
Philadelphia by President James M.
Garnett, of st. Johns College, Annapo-
lis, on ''The Study of English" has won
the commendation of the press, and
seems to have attracted good deal of
attention. DIR. Garnett's theme, stated
in full, was "The Historical Method in
Teaching English" He was inclined
to believe that systematic study of
English from Chaucer down, even to
go no further back, would be as fruitful
in discipline to the pupil as exercises in
the Latin and Greek grammars, and at
the same time would turn out our young
men full to ripeness in knowledge OF
their mother tongue. DIR. Garnett is
possessed of the idea that the study OF
English ought to be put at least on 8
level in our high schools with that OF
Latin and Greek. 1t may be mention
ed, in this connection, that when the
next collegiate year opens at the Johns
Hopkins University, Prof. Sidney La
nier will begin course of lectures or
early English in which DIR. Gar
nett's ideas will receive practical il
| lustratiOn. Mr.. Lanier's researches and
reading in old English are very full anc
thorough, and his powers of exposition
will be assisted by all the wealh of his
generous NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sun

The Printer and his Types.

Benjamin F. Taylor, the printer poet
says:
Perhaps there is no department or en-.
terprise whose details are less understood
by intelligent people, than the ''art pres
ervative," the achievement of the types.
Every day, their life long, people are
accustomed to read the newspapers and
find fault with its statements; its ar.
rangements; its looks; to plume them
selves upon the discovery of some ro-
guish acrobatic type that gets into frol-
ic and stands upon his head; or of some
waste letter in it i; but of the process by
which the newspaper is made, or the
myriads of mills and the thousands of
pieces necessary to its composition, they
know little and generally think less.
They imagine they discourse of a won
der indeed when they speak of fair
white carpet woven for thought to walk
on, of the rags that fluttered on the back
of the beggar yesterday.
But there is something more wonder
full still. When we look at the hundred
and ffty-two little boxes, somewhat
shaded with the touch of inky fingers,
that compose the printers case noiseless,
except the click of the type as one by
one they take their place in the growing
line-we think we have found the mar
vel of art.
We think how many fancies in frag-
ments there are in those little boxes,
how many atoms CT poetry and eloquence
the printer can make here and there, if
he only had little chart to work by
how many facts in small handful"
how much truth in chaos.
Now he picks up the scattered ele-
ments, until he holds in his hand
stanza of "Gray's Elegy," or monody
upon Grimes All Buttoned Up Before
Now he sets Puppy Missing" and now
Paradise lost;;" he arrays a bride in
''small caps" and a sonnet in nonpariel;
he announces the languishing "live" in
one sentence-transposes the word and
deplores the days that are few and evil
in the next.
A poor jest ticks its way slowly into
the printers hand, like clock running
down, and its strain ofeloquence march
es into line letter by letter. We fancy
we can tell the difference by hearing by
the ear, but perhaps not.
The type that told a wedding yester-
day announces burial to- morrow-per-
haps the same letters.
They are the elements to make world
of. Those type are world with some
thing in it and beautiful as spring, as
summer and as imperishable as autumn
flowers frost cannot wilt, fruit that shall
ripen for all time. h.

A Heroine of the Sea.

A thrilling story comes from Sal
Francisco. Our readers have alread,
heard of the fatal voyage of the shi
Templar, from New York to Rio de ia
n eiro, and of the fearful havoc whicl
the yellow fever made among her crew
both before and after her sailing agaiI
from that port to San Francisco. WheI
the Templar sailed Captain Armstrong
was accompanied by his wife and daugh
ter, the latter beautiful and accom-
plished young lady we'll known in New
York. After leaving Rio, the fever
which had decimated the crew while
lying at anchor, again broke out, and
more than half the ships company, as
well as the Captain himself and his wife
and daughter, were prostrated by it.
The wife died, and. along with many OF
the crew, was buried in the bosom of the
deep. Captain Armstrong did not die.
but after the crisis of the fever had
passed he lay for weeks between life and
death. unable to grasp the terrible situa-
ton or to give any orders to the bewil-
dered survivors. The first mate had es-
capped the fever, and was IN command of
the ship. He was an experienced and
capable officer, but his heart failed him
at last, as man after man fell at his
side and was committed to the awful
grave of the ocean. He resolved to head
the ship for the mouth of the Rio de la
Plata. Miss Armstrong heard the Or
der given and determined te prevent its
execution, and to carry the ship, in
spite of death and fate, to the goal to
which she had been consigned. She
was skilled mathematician, and had
learned the art of navigation from her
fathers instructions. She was still
weak and suffering from her illness, but
her heart was unconquered, She OBJ
tanned her fathers consent to command
the ship, and by her order the first mate
was suspended and the second mate was
put in his place. Under Miss Arm
strong's directions the ship was again
headed towards California. Every day
at noon the second mate took the me-
chanical bearings of the vessel, and SUBJ
mitted them to the girl for her calcula-
tions and commands. 1t would be an
endless story to tell, as California pa
per says, how each day she figured out
where the hopeless hulk lay on the
merciless waste or was driven into still
more merciless calms. Through the
winter months, through the spring
through the fullness of sum-
mer time she steered the ship Templar
into the waters of San Francisco Bay. |
There, at quarantine, the vessel lies at |
last at rest, and there Miss Armstrong
is compelled to wait until the health |
officers will allow her to enter the city |
which she had so bravely sought and |
found. Few women have done braver |
deeds, or borne with stouter hearts more |
terrible trials. The old Templars who |
gave their name to the ship which was
the scene of her heroic fortitude might |
have counted her a worthy member of
their glorious order.-C Charleston NeaUs |

BY CHARLES WARREN sToDDARD.
Have you ever looked into bachelors room
In the cleaning twixt dinner and pipe,
While he lies on the lounge in poetic gloom,
And the fruit of his fancy Is ripe?
The Angelus bells, with their musical clang,
Are appealing in vain to his ear;
'Tis the summons to prayer, but he don't care
hang
The gods that he worships are here.
In his chamber the trophies Of battle are stored;
He reckons his scars by the score;
The mammas he enraptured, the daughters he
bored,
The mittens, and heartaches galore.
There are cushions of satin and filagreed mats,
With monograms, ever his own;
There are emouchoir-cases, embroidered cravats,
And frills for his jars of cologne;
There's tiny slipper he captured by chance
From the queen of the ballot stars;
Its triumphs are over, a truceto romance
1t is sacred to Club House Cigars.
Love letters are lashed to broken fan
With ribbon of faded blue,
From Marie, who married the wrong, wrong
man,
And is now q mother-or two.
Some tresses of hair, from raven to gold;
Handfuls of nameless curls;
He may have forgotten the sweethearts of old,
But they are warranted, all of them. girls!
There's perfumed glove, a fragment of lace,
And the fringe of a silken sash,
Six photographs of sad sweet face
The spoils of his latest mash.
There's a flowing girdle of cardinal red,
That is coiled like the cunning asp
sonnet unwritten! poem unsaid!
It is clasped with golden clasp.
Cfsuch is the bachelors brio -a-brac;
Need / tell what it is for?
It's his pride as he lies with his heart On the

Lazily waiting for war.
From the waters ben cath to theheavens above.

And there's more than enough to go round.
