October l9.-Thc theory Of the reformers
in spelling is that there should be a lette,
or character for each elementary sound

II is objected that the learner would be
confused with about forty letters instead oil
twcnty.si1. This is true: we would have
about forty characters indicating the Gle.
mentary English sounds, but. We now have
about one hundred forms indicating the
same. For instance, short Il is represented
by cas- in her; byi, as in sir; by o, as in
son; by II, as in fur; by y, as in myrrh. Hero

1t Is urged that our present spelling be
retained to indicate the correct meaning
Of words This seems true at first thought,
but does not the relation to other words
really fix the meaning? Let us write tho
following: Il lore'to breath the fresh air''
-'Ile sang 4 National air"-"He assumed
an dir Of dislain;" Here the word air
though spelled the same way has three
different meanings. Let us now speak the
following 1.-The rich heir had IN, insolent
air." Though we pronounce the word
heir precisely like the, word air. vet the
hearer finds no difficulty in deciding the
meaning of each from its relation to the
other words. 1.-THE meaning OF n spoken

then the meaning OF n, written word,

reply that II such use is important the old
spelling will ever be found in books for

languages even can never be blotted out;
they will stand in books for those who wish
10 learn them. The technicaIilies in our

A Philosophical View OF Politics.

Alter all, what is politics to the citizen?
We know what it is 10 the professional
office seeker To him It is an employment
and means OF personal success, and
too often OF mere pecuniary betterment.
But what is it to the musses?c Why should
4 citizen, having no personal ax to grind
be 4 Democrat, a Grcenbacker. or Republi.
can except as he feels sure, as the result OF
his best and and most intelligent thought,
that he is giving his vote and influence in
favor Of the promotion OF the best political
and social security and advancement Oh:
tainable through legislation. 4.;}i /;
Therefore comes the. plea and the no.
cessiy'for the education OF the masses, SO
f, that they can not DO used as tools for the
] promotion OF the 'agyra Indictment, Of the
mere professional office seeker, but rather
that they, may learn rs freemcn, rs men
having stake in society, to protect and
, foster their own true interests in connec.
tion with, and es part and parcel Of the
true interests Of those around them. Can
the body polite be injured and every mem.
her Of it not suffer more or less? Nay,
verify. 81. Z '.S .2'.8.!
We find this view touched upon and
somewhat elaborated by General Stewart
. L. Woodiord, Of New. York, in u recent
speech at Wilmington, Delaware. He will
be remembered rs the man who made an
eloquent speech on Wheeling wharf to IN
immense audience in 1850. AT Whining.
ton he argued that the welfare Of the Re-
public demands the intellectual and moral
development Of each individual citizen.
The newspaper report Of hisargumcnt says:

1t is so easy to be neat at home as we'll
abroad, that when lady is not thus
ltired she has nothing to plead as an
xCuse but her own negligence and indif-

which can be fabricated into pretty home
iresses; so many paper patterns, readily

| therefore, who is not attractively and
! uitably attired at home is literally with
nut any good excuse whatever,
! 1t is just as worthy of lady's study
now to dress becomingly at home as it is
low to fashion her costume attractively
or abroad. Surely the eyes Of those we
