A FATHERS LETTER.
Quantity Expressed Advice for the
Young Sir Philip Sidney.

When Sir Philip Sidney was twelve
years old he had made such good
progress in his studies that he wrote
to his father a letter in Latin and
and one In French. In those days,
we must remember, if one was to
read at all, it was necessary to read
in Latin, and French was the Ian
guage of courts, so both tongues were
begun early and studied more prac-
tically than we nowadays think re-
q~uisite. But young Philips's letters
seem to have greatly pleased his
father, for in return Sir Henry Sid
ney wrote a charming letter of adj
vice and counsel, well worth reading
in full.
We can quote only a little of it,
but advise you to read it all. As to
study, he wrote, in the old spelling:
apply yowr study to suche howres
as yowr discrete master assigne VOW,
tdrIl6SIlye, anu Tic Iyulc Il hlIOWC,
he will so lymitt Oinit) as shall be
both sufficient for yowr learninge and

we'll as the woordes. So shall VOW both
enreiche (enrich) yowr tonge with
woordes and yowr witte with matter;
and judgement will grove as yeares
growyth in VOW. Yf VOW
heare a wise sentence, or an apt
phrase, commytte vt to yowr mem
orye, with respect to the circums-
lance when VOW shall speake vt"
Good advice, is it not? And yet
how differently a modern father
would write, even if he chose the
same ideas to express. Would he not
put it more like this:

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
Opportunity and Johnny.

Johnny made a lot of snowballs,
Made them nice and round and
hard,
Then upon a box he piled them
In a corner of the yard,
Saying: Wait till Willie Watkins
Comes around this way again
Oh, I'll bet I'll make him sorry
He told Teacher on me, thenp
Through the night they lay there
freezing,
They became as hard as rocks;
In the morning Willie Watkins
Glanced to see them ON the box;
Johnny had not risen early.
Johnny was a sleepy head;
Willie Watkins took the snowballs
While their maker lay in bed.
When, at last, the slothful Johnny
Sauntered outward through the
yard
To prepare to batter Willie.
He was hit by something hard!
More than fourteen snowballs struck
Ere he bowling got away,
Conscientiously believing
1t was his unlucky day.
Thanks to thee, o lazy Johnny,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Oft we labor hard preparing
And out efforts come to naught-
Oft we spend long years in getting
Ready to be great and grand,
Just to fail through being absent
When it's time to be on hand.
