LESSONS OF ANTIQUITY.

What Prof. Max Muller Considers the
Only knowledge Worth Having.
A man who knows his language, and
all that is implied by it, stands on &
foundation of ages. He feels the past
under his feet, and feels at home in the
world of thought, a loyal citizen of the
oldest and widest republic. 1t is this
historical knowledge of language, and
not of language only, but of every thing
that has been handed down to us by an
uninterrupted tradition from father to
| son, it is that kind of knowledge which
hold that our universities and schools
should strive to maintain. 1t is the
historical spirit with which they should
try to inspire every new generation.
AS we trace the course of a mighty
river back from valley to valley, as we
mark its tributaries, and watch its
meanderings, till we reach its source,
or at all events the watershed from
which its sources spring, in the same
manner the historical school has to
trace every current of human knowl-
edge from century to century back to
its fountain-head, if that is possible, or
at all events as near to it as the
remaining records of the past will al
low. The true interest of all knowl-
edge lies in its growth. The very
mistakes of the past form the solid
ground on which the truer knowledge
of the present is founded. Would a
mathematician be mathematician
who had not studied his Euclid?
Would an astronomer be an as
tronomer who did not know the
PtOlemaic system of astronomy, and
had not worked his way through
its errors to the truer views of Co.
pernicus? Would a philosopher be a
philosopher who had never grappled
with Plato and Aristotle? Would a
lawyer be a lawyer who had never
heard of Roman law? There is but
one key to the present-that is the
past. There is but one way to under
stand the continuous growth of the
human mind and to gain a firm grasp
of what it has achieved in any depart
ment of knowledge-that is to watch
its historical development. No doubt
it will be said there is no time for all
this in the hurry and furry of our mod
ern life. There are so many things to
learn that students must be satisfied
with results, without troubling them
selves how these results were obtained
by the labors of those who came before
us. This really would mean that our
modern teaching must conine itself to
the surface, and keep aloof from what
lies beneath. knowledge must be what
is called cut and dry, if it is to prove
serviceable in the open market. My
experience is the very opposite. The
cut-and-dry knowledge which is &C
quired from the study of manuals or
from so-called crammers is very apt to
share the fate of cut flowers 1t makes
a brilliant show for one evening, but
it fades and leaves nothing behind.
The only knowledge worth having,
and which lasts us for life, must not be
cut and dry, but, on the contrary, it
should be living and growing knowl-
edge, knowledge of which we know the
beginning, the middle and the end,
knowledge of which we can produce
the title deeds whenever they are
called for.-Prof Max Muller, in Fort
nightly Review.

Ambition Encouraged.

Mr.. Ryche (to his clerk)-SO, young
man, you desire to marry my daughter?
Mr.. Youngclerk-Yes, sir; if you
will pardon my ambition, that is the
dearest wish of my heart.
Mr.. Ryche-I always like to see am
bition in young men. Go back to your

twenty years of faithful industry you
are earning enough to support her, and
she is still unmarried, you may have
her with my blessing.-Chicago Jour-

Notwithstanding this a scheme is on
foot to induce colored families to join
in emigrating to Arkansas and Okla

cessful thus far because the negroes
are really too poor to move.
ssThey grayltate toward the cities

There the whites maintain control by
dividing the wards so that the educated
people of means are enabled to hold

to allow the colored members to gain
majority, because the city would be
greatly injured thereby.

THE MINISTERIAL CALLING.

Preachers.
{ From The Wilmington Messenger

Preachers.
From The Wilmington Messenger
The affair at Raleigh, involving
the character Of a Catholic priest, and
most unpleasantly duplicating the
name of a young lady as the victim of
the very worst of crimes, is an occur
renee to be regretted as much as any,
thing that has happened in the State
within our recollection. While there
have been infrequent scandals, iDvolv-
lug the clergy, there has been no crime
attributed to any of them rs black and
Infamous as that here charged. Scan
dals effecting the clergy and church
people are seized upon by a class who
scoff at religion and sneer at religious
effort, to rail out against church peo-
pie as no better than the world out
side. But when the long list of the
clergymen is taken into consideration
and the comparatively small number
Of crimes attributed to them anG the
infrequent scandals involving their
reputation, it is seen that the world
has no right to mock at the ministry
for fa'se assumption Of piety, or want
Of morality. The same number of
men, following no other calling in the
world are a hundredth part as clean
ofevii ways as the clergy, aud the
world knowing it, is bound to pay
tribute to the sacred excellence of the
ministry. There are Of course bad
men i'll the ministry, but the good
among them so outweigh the bad,
out of all proportion t. those in other
callings, that MI comparison is lost,
and the circumstance is sufficient
viudicatioa of the truths and the ben
eficence of the systems they teach, and
that by their walk in life they SO we'll
illustrate.

FRAUD AND IS THERE NOT1HLNt
REAL ?
[John W. Hays, .jr., IN Raleigh Chronicle.]

One whom the world esteems wise
says that the Mystery of Life lies Ia
doing with all ones might what is in
ones hand to do. If this be true my
uncle, Jack, should be knowing in
disidual, and that refractory criminal
who in former years was chained to a
treadmill in the bottom of well where
only the most incessant treadiDg kept
the water below bis Grin should be
''up" on the problems Of life. There
is one other, also, whose curiosity
should have long since been satisfied,
be the Wise Man right. For the lash
is not more inexorable than the de-
mand on the Editor for Copy" We
have all heard Of him who was haunt
ed by spectre that bobbed con-
tiDuously from behind concealing OBJ
jects with "Hi yi!' exclamation.
See that haggard hollow-eyed man
stealing away from the rumbling
presses at two O'Clock in the morning.
Day and night he is haunted. Sleep
ing or walking goblin is sapping his
life's blood. At unexpected moments
its blackened face is thrust into the
sanctum, rises before his work, peers
over his shoulder and with hair all
astand, eyeballs cleaning, and a
ghastly grin shrieks, "Coyy! Copy !"
As he drags towards home the smutty
face ogles from the shadow Of every
lamp-post. 1t creeps around each
corner after him, peers from every
sewer hole. He filings himself upon
The bed, but in sleep the spectre RISES
1t squats impishly upon the bed post.
Its eyes grow big as saucers. 1t
reaches out with long claw fingers
and chuckles, chuckles, chuckles."
The Editor turns uneasily, mutters
Sec, Cab, Samo." but the goggling
squat shrieks at the chestnuts and
swinging down by the tail like a mon
key howls Copy! Copy And
there is no charm to exercise thi. imp,
this printers devil.
And the next morning request
from a delinquent subscriber lies on
his desk, "Stop asenin yo paper doan
like them idees yorn no ways my
dorg can git up bettern.'
Tell me, you, Editors, are you never
faced by Mysteries? Is your curiosity
satisfied? Are you the content and
happy lot the Wise Man claims you
are? Had this Wise Man observed
Jack awhile instead Of dreaming he
would have reached far n.c re truth
full conclusion. For when Jack is on
the load and the lash behind him he
seems the most contented of mules 1t
is pull, pull, pull, with never pause
nor look around, but | think his
CALLED shoulder hurts just as badly
and the flies sting as sharply as when
the "blacksnake' is laid aside and he
bites and kicks and wags his tail
sore.
Some of us keep scratching around
in the loose track of existence and
every now and then fancy we have
caught the Mystery by the tail and
are going to pull him out of his
hole
