A HINT TO THE YOUNG.
Sidney Smith, in one of the able

Sidney Smith, in one of the ablest
of his essays, says:
II know Of no principle which is
of more Importance to fix in the hab
its of young people, than that Of the
most determined resistance to the en-
croachments Of ridicr,le. Give notup
to the world, nor to the ridicule with
which the world enforces it's dominion
over every trifing question OF manner
and appearance. Learn from the ear
lest days to insure your principles
against the perils Of ridicule. II you
think it right to differ from the times
and to make a stand for any valuable
point of morals, do it, however rustic,
however antiquated, however pedan
tic it may appear; do it, not for inso-
lence, but seriously and grandly, as q
man who wears a soul of his own in
his bosom, and does not wait till it
shall be breathed into him by the
breath of fashion. Let men call you
mean if you know you are just; hypo-
critical If you are honestly religious;
pusillanimous, if you know you are
firm. Resistance soon converts un-
principled wit into sincere respect;
and no after time can tear from you
those feelings which every man car
ries within him who has made q noble
and successful exertion in a virtuous
cause.

ACRITIC CRITICIZED.

A short time ago Mr.. Richard Grant
White, the 80 called critic and censor
of style, wrote an article entitled
"The Public School Failure" in which
he attempted, in his usual ex-cathedra
and dogmatic manner, to prove that
the public school system of this coun'
try is failure His article has been
severely and justly criticised by those
who know a great deal more about
the subject than he does, and this if
the way he replies to his critics:
"Educationalists' who get together
and read papers 70 each other, to
their great edcationalistical delight at
seeing an opponent of thepubic school
system demolished so educationalis
tically, and editorlings who thrice a
week destroy the same monster be
cause they think it will please our
readers, may be well assured that
they are merely playing an ostrich
part Well enough, too, that they
should do SO; best, perhaps, for Their
heads are so small that they can hide
them easily; but as for their other
