The Alphabet.


The Greeks themselves believed that
the old Phgnician colony in BUostian
Thebes was the source and center from
which the alphabet was spread through
out the country. KadmuS, - the East
ern,n for such is the meaning of his
name, was its mythical inventor, though
later legends told how the crafty Pala-
modes and the poet SimOnideS SUISSE
Quently added fresh letters. But these
legends are all the fables of the literary
age; the kernel of truth they contain is
the fact that the Greek alphabet came
from PhWnicia. 1t is a fact, indeed, to
which the word " alphabet' itself bears
witness; "alphabet,n or " alpha"
" BETA" the two first letters of the
alphabet, are both, as we have seen,
PhGnician words. Like the
Phpnicians before them, the Greeks re-
paid the benefit they had received by
handing on their alphabet to nations
still further West. The Greek colonies
in Sicily and Southern Italy, being
mostly of DOric descent, brought with
them the DOric alphabet, and accord
ingly the natives of Southern Italy,
when they first began to write, used the
DOric alphabet of their Greek GeighborS
Hence it is that the Latins and ourselves
after them attach tail to the letter r.
which was wanting in the Old alphabet
OF Phmnicia; hence, too, we have inner
tied from the Romans the letter q.
which had been lost in all the Greek al
phabetS, except that of Dorian origin.
On the other hand the Etruscans. that
mysterious people of Northern italy,
who exercised SO profound an influence
upon the infant civilization of Rome,
learned the art of molding and decora-
ting vases from the potterS of Athens,
and since, the latter were in the habit
of inscribing the names of the gods and
heroes they depicted above the repre-
sensations of them, the Euuscans learned
at the same time the old Attic or Ionic
alphabet. We need only place the al
phabets Of Etruria and Athens side by
side to be convinced of this fact. K, for
instance, is represented in both by the
taiiless p; we look in vain in both for a
Q. and the two distinct symbols that
once stood for the gutterals and k are
into one. Alphabets, like
words, if rightly questioned, can be
made to tell their own history as
well as that of the people who en-
ployed them.-Pr0tcSSOr Sayce'S Lecture

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Last year the Methodist Book Con-
Germ made a net profit of $40, 900 on a
book and periodical business of $780,
600.
-DouJ 4. Nunez, the Gillian Com
missioner Of Education, is studying the
school and university systems of Boston
and her neighborhood.
1t Is said that the present supply of
elementary teachers in England is very
far in excess of the demand, and in con-
sequence salaries have been seriously
reduced.
Rev. J. Munro Gibson, pastor OF
the Second Presbyterian Church OF
Chicago for six years. has resigned and
will 20 TO St. Johns Wood Church,
London, on a salary of El,2OO per an
mum.
The Rev. DIR. VIM. NJ. Taylor, of
New York. will sail on June with most
of his family for Europe. His congre-
cation have voted him four months
leave of absence, and also a gift Of 81
500 to meet some of the expenses of his
Journey.
During the 173 years Of its exist
ence, the Congregational Church Of
Madison, Conn, has had only six pas
tors, none of whom ever left the church
after being settled over it until death
took them away. In the village of
Over. England, the Congregational
minister who recently died had been six
tyyears in the service Oft the same church.
This church was his first as well as
his only charge. He was buried under
the shadows of some tall poplar trees
which he planted fifty years ago. John
Marshall was this faithful and contented
pastors name.
The Bible and Prayer Union is an
institution organized in London, in JAN
uary, 1876, under the following rules:
l. Each member to read one and the
same chapter daily, asking Gods bless
ing upon the word read. 2. Each mem
Der to pray every Sunday morning for
all the members. The Union began
with a membership of fifty, which in four
years has increased to more than 10000,
with branches in Germany, Switzerland,
Italy, Sweden, Greece, the Turkish En-
pire, the South Sea Islands (using cards
printed in the languages of these coun-
tries), besides members of the parent
organization in all parts OF Great Brit
ain and Ireland, in North and South
America, India, China, etc.
The opinion is growing among
teachers, says the Youths Companion,
that it is not good TO offer medals and
rewards for proficiency in study. 1t was
found some years ago that the Franklin
medal did more harm than good to the
bows of the Boston Latin School, and it
is no longer given. A few ambitious
BOYS half-killed themselves in their eff
forts to win it, while the great mass of
pupils despaired from the first, and
made no attempt. Something similar
has occurred in Lowell, where Mr.. Car
ney left a sum of money to provide
medals for competition in the High
School. The strife for these medals
caused over-eXertiOn in a few, jealousy
and heart-burning in more, and render
ed the idle scholars even more languid
and Indifferent than they were before.
The school committee has wisely abol-
ished the edmals.

Royale was the mother of the Grand
Duke of Tuscany. 1t is difficult to say
when paper was first ruled. The monks
of the middle ages carefully ruled their
paper before they transcribed the man
uscripts which handed down the classics
to us. There are earlier traces OF rul-
ing; in fact, in a different sense from
its usual acccptation, the Latin proverb,
" Nulla dies sine linea," is true. Ruling

Canada, about twenty-five or thirty
wears AGO.

Hufy People.

One of the oldest things to witness,
if not one of the most disa greeable to
encounter, is the faculty which some
people have for taking Oifense where
no otfense is meant" taking huff as
the phrase goes, with reason or without
and making themselves and every one
else uncomfortable, for nothing deeper
than a mood or more than a fancy.
Huffy people are to be met with, of all
ages and in every station, neither years
nor condition bringing necessarily wis
dom and unSuSpiciOuSneSs; but we are
bound to say that the larger proportion
will be generally found among women,
and chiefly among those who are of an
uncertain social position, or who are
unhappy in their circumstances, not to
speak of their temperS. HuffncsS,
which seems to be self-aSSertiOn in what
may be called the negative form, and
which the possesSors thereof classify rs
a high spirit or sensitivenesS, according
Is they are passionate or sullen, is in
reality the product of self-distrust. The
person who has self-respect, and moth
ING to fear, who is of an assured social
status and happy private condition, Is
never apt to take otfense.
Many and great are the dangers of
action with hulty people; and sure as
you are to founder into the boz with
them, while you are innOcently thinking
YOU are walking on the solidest espla-
made, the dangers of speech are just as
manifold. The dangers of testing are,
above all, great. 1t may be laid down
as un absolute rule, which has no ex-
ception any where, that no hulfy person
can hear Joke good-humoredly, or take
it as it is meant. If you attempt the
very simplest form of chatting, YOU will
soon be made to find out your mistake;
and not unfrequently the whole harmo-
ny of an evening has been set wrong.
because a thin-skinned, hully person
has taken a pleasant jest as personal
at1ront, and either blazed out or glOomed
sullenly, according to his or her indi-
vidual disposition and direction of the
wind at the time.

Some Chinese Delicacies.

Archdeacon John Henry Gray was the
British Chaplain at Hong Kong from
1851 to 1877, and during his long resi-
dence in the country acquired the spoken
! language of the people and became
more cOnversant with the Empire in the
neighbOrhoOd of Canton than any other
foreigner. The result of his observa-
tions was embodied in a work on
China; A History Of the Laws, Man
nerS and Customs of the People" His
wife has now published a volume of her
letters home, during the period OF her
residence at Canton, in which, while
describing very much the same things
that are discussed in her husband 5
book, she has managed TO invest them
with new interest, and to render he in
formation conveyed by them valuable
not only for its own merit, but also as
comp Elementary to the work of the GOOD
ArchdeacOn. In one of Mrs. Gray's
letters she gives a graphic account of
how she was led to partake of what
Chinese epicureanS would consider great
luyurieS. she says: II have been a
victim of a wicked conspiracy on the
part of my husband and the servants.

friend, partoOk Of a dish of minee,
which was served up with wall of po-
tatoeS. This was according to Henry s
wish, as he thought the potatoes, served
in English fashion, would be a GOOD dis

the flavor, Henry said, soto UOcc, to the
waiting boy: What fashion chow

was also disguised by wall of potatoes.
On the third morning another of these
choice dishes, orn1mented again with
potatoes, was handed round. and our
friend, who had been let into the secret,

the dish GOOD. remained in ignorance
OF what | had eaten until the middle of
the next day, when the gentlemen burst

The Power Of a Cyclone.

In discussing the two cyclones which
visited the Bay of Bengal in October,
1876, Mr.. Elliott, Meteorological Re-
porter to the Government of Bengal in
cidentallY gives some idea of the cyclo-
mean forces which are developed by such
storms. The average "daily evapOra-
ton registered by the Bengal instru-
ments in October is 1.-TWO inches" The
amount of heat absorbed by the CONVEX
sion of this amount of water daily over
so large an area as the Bay of Bengal
is enormous. Roughly estimated, -
said NJ. Elliott, sit is equal to the CON
tinuOGS working power of 300, 900 steam
engines of 1000 horse power A sim
pie calculation will show that it suffices
to raise aloft over $1,000 cubic feet of
water in twenty-four hours from every
square mile of the bosom of the bav
and transport it to the clouds which
overhang it. When we extend the
calculation from a single square mile to
The area of this whole Indian Gulf, the
mind is lost in the effort to conceive the
force which, in a days time, can lift
10000, 900 tons! Yet it would be easy
to snow that such figures, fabulous as
they seem, do not adequately represent
the cyc.Onic forces of a single storm.

She testified that she was twenry-ore
years old, and he sixty-three. Size

the difference in their ages, though she
was greatly shocked when she learned
how old he really was. She supposed
him to be about forty, until he took OFF
a black, curly wig, and showed a small
remnant of gray hair She tainted st
the sight, but afterward became recon
cilcd to him. Then he in turn grew
