Trimming Boys in Correct Language.

The process of training BOYS in, the
correct use of language should properly
begin in the lower grades of the clemens
tary school. 1t is at this stage, that the
vocal organs are most flexible and sus-
ceptibility to impressions is most strong
~ marked. If judicious mode oftrain-
ing be pursued at this stage habits of
correct expression are much more easily
acquired than ut a later period. when by
the force of vicious association most
boys have become invetcrate in the use
of inelegant as well as inaccurate lam
guage.
First of all it is to be strictly insisted
upon that the selections used for read
ing represent nothing but the purest
types of English. Simplicity of style is
perfectly consistent with grace of eN-
preston. There could not exist a great
er pedagogic error than to suppose that
coarseness of dction is essential TO clear
apprehension on the part of children.
The versatile richness of our literature
will supply an unlimited variety of easy
narratives, couched in the purcst Ian
guage. 1t is also essential that as soon
as boy acquires the use of the simplest
words he shall be diligently practiced in
combining them into short and easy
sentences. This exercise is the germ of
syntax, and the synthetic power cannot
be called into exercise ut too early a
stage. Indeed words cannot be strictly
defined except by illustration in SEN
fences. 1t is the context that generally
determines the significance of the word:
a mere abstract definition is often de-
ceptive and misleading.
The exercises in sentence building
will gradually expand into composition,
and they are the best introduction to it.
AS the boy gradually develops, the char
acter of his reading can be easily changed
to adapt ii to his progress. From the
chastc simple story of the lower grades
he can pass to some of the higher class
les whose lucid diction renders even the
gravest theme fascinating to youthful
minds of ordinary intelligence and APP
plicaticu. Such works as lrvings Life
of Columbus. Irying's Life of Washing
ton, Prescott's Histories. Macaulay' Els
SAYS, some of Sir Walter Scott 5 Novels.
Longfellow's Poems. are admirably
adapted to the purposes of class use, to
say nothing of their tendency to stimu-
late the purest taste and the noblest as
pirations.
Minute orprofuse exegetical criticisms
and all purely pathological questions.
such as the evolution of speech. the
genesis of forms, etc, should be deferred
until the collegiate course is reached,
Until this point is attained the training
of boys in language should have its
prime object to inculcatc from the very
first models of pure and graceful Eng
fish, to introduce them directly to the
great masters Of our prose and poetry.
to develop the estbeti- sense by con-
stantly presenting types Of perfect beau
ty in language, and to impress upon the
mind of the student the profound truth
that accuracy and purity of expression
is a moral as well as an intellectual ac-
complishment. Henry 4. Shepherd in

The Man Who Outsuffered All.

Gufley, calmly. That's the way used
to do in Africa.
There was silence that could be cut
with knife after that for some time,
when. Just as the crowd was chuckling
over the supposed extinsuishment of the
story teller, Diiienderfer took the bit in
his teeth and made one more desperate
brush for the lead.
But, gentlemen" he continued,
solemnly, "those were hardships, in
Decd but nothing, absolutely nothing,

dured in this city about three years ago.

Feathers from q Rattlesnake.

Mr.. H. Keep. of New York, while in
Louisiana shooting, noticed his dog,
which was reading beyy of quail, sud
denly jump back, and act in "a strange
manner. Approaching to learn The
cause. he found large rattlesnake, and
at once opened fire upon him. At the
second discharge he noticed quite a
number of feathers that the charge had
knocked from the body of the snake
Upon closer examination he found
that the charge had torn open the snake,
exposing the body of n quail, and APP
parently there were several more in his
capacious nav The dog then took up
the trail, and soon led him to the bcyy,
which was evidently the one from which
his snakeship had secured at least q
portion of his meal. - Forest and
