PREMATURE EDUCATION

Prof. Huxley, the English scientist,
llnds time to give considerable atten-
ton to education, and his opinions are
always worthy of notice. Speaking
from a scientific standpoint, he saws:
The educational abomination of
desolation of the present day is the
stimulation of young people to work
at high pressure by incessant and COM
petltlve examinations. Some wise
man (who probably was not an early
riser) has said Of early risers in gener-
al, that they are conceited all the fore
noon, and stupid all the Afternoon.
Now, whether this is true of early ris-
ers in the common acceptation of the
word or not, l will not pretend to say
but it is too often true of the unhappy
children who are forced to rise too ear
ly in their classes. They are conceited
all the forenoon of life, and stupid all
the afternoon. The vigor and fresh.
ness which should have been stored uu
for the purpose of a hard struggle fol-
existence in practical life have been
washed out Of them by precocious
mental debauchery-by book gluttony
and lesson bibbling. Their faculties
are worn out by the strain put upor
their callow brains, and they are de
moralized by worthless, childish tri
umphs before the real life of work be
gins. / have no compassion for sloth
but youth has more need for intellec
tual rest than age; and the cheerful
ness, the tenacity of purpose, the pow
er of work which makes many a sue
cessful man what he is must often b
placed to the credit, not of his hour
OF industry, but to that of his hours O
idleness in boyhoud. Even the hard
est worker of all, if he has to deal wit
anything above mere details, will d
well, now and again, to let his brai
lie fallow for space. The next Gro
OF thought will certainly be all til
fuller in the ear, and the weeds fewer

BY reference to orr advertising col
umns it will be seen that Mr.. Jos.
Murphy, tie popular comedian and
vocalist, will appear in Apollo Hall
next Tuesday evening in the greatest
of all Irish dramas, Kerry Cow.
Mr.. Murphy is star in his profession,
and draws like blister wherever he
appears. lie will be supported by a
first-class dramatic company, includ-
ing Miss M. Loduski Young. The
following notice is from the Boston
Herald:
"KERRY when Joseph Muir
ply resolved to devote himself to the
representation of kerry Cow" he
struck a gold mine that became richer
the deeper he went. No one but an
Irishman could do justice to the char
acter, and that Murphy is an lrishman
not only his speech, but his every
action on the stage shows. lie has the
natural wit of his countrymen, and in
the various developments Of the plot
bristles with that attractive lightness
of heart and singleness of purpose in
his love for his sweetheart, coeval with
the existence Of warm-hearted son Of
Erin. An Irishman can be gallant to
all ladies'; but when he settles his
mind to one, the warmth Of his nature
and his daring qualities in holding on,
in spite of obstacles that would dismay |
other nationalities, has passed into
We are told in that much |
abused Pinafore," Glove levels all |
ranks" and in Kerry Cow" we see a
faithful representation how the sparks
Of sympathy go out in genuine affec-
ton, naturally as the sparks from the
horseshoe that is turned on the stage
in one of the acts of the play. The
greatest players are those who are the
most natural. Straining after effect is
rarely rewarded. At least, if there is
,training in acquiring power, there
must be no apparent straining when
he actor or speaker is before the pub
ic. No doubt Mr.. Murphy has worked
to master and perfect the
character; and that he has succeeded,
houses and financial prosper
ty testify. Kerry Cow" opened a
lew path in rich field of fancy, which
has only yet been partially explored.
70 Falconer, Boucicault and others the !
public are indebted for peeps into Irish
life in dramatic representation; but the ,
Kerry Cow" is of quiet order, turn :
ng upon incidents in connection with ,
antilles, the key of the whole being t
owe, that old theme, but which is ever \
lew. In the unfolding of the plot we a
earn the value of true love, and how
he tender passion exalts the Village b
rulcan into hero, able to endure, but a
truthful to the eight Of his eye" as the I
eedle to the pole. The Herald pre- Ii
icted that Mr.. Murphy would have a d
arge audience; and the hearty APP
lause which greeted last night his roll a
cking wit, and the tender but natur- 7
declarations of love must have sat t
