Coleridge’s Test.—Coleridge, the poet. un- der the extreme of mental depression, eniist- ed in the light Dragoons, at London. The inspector of recruits, eyeing him severely, asked his name. ‘ Comerbach,” was the re- ply. “ What have you come here for, sir?” —ws if suspecting something. ‘Sir,’ said Coleridge, ** for what most other men enlist for—to be made a soldier.

“ Do you think you coul! run a Frenchman through the body ?”’ asked the General.

«“ I don’t know, as I never tried,’ replied the poet; ‘‘ but I'd let a Frenchman run me through before I'd run away.”’

“That will do,” replied the General, and Coleridge was passed into the ranks. He made a »oor dragoon however and never ads vanced beyond the “ awkward squad.”’

Signature of the Gross.—The mark which persous who are unable to write are requir- ed so make instead of their signatures is in the form of a cross; and this practice, having formerly been followed by kings and nobles, is constantly ref:rved to as an instanee of the deplorable ignorance of ancient times. This signature is not, however, invariably a proof such ignorance. Anciently the use of the mark was not conlined to illiterate persons ; for among the Saxons the mark of the cross, as an attestation of the good faith of the person signing, was required to be attached to the signature of those who could write, as well as to stand in the place of those who could not. In these times, ifa man could write, or even read, his knowledge was con- sidered proef that he was,in holy orders. The clericus or clerk, Was synonymous with the penman ; and the laity, or people who were not clerks, did not feel any urgent necessity for the use of letters. The ancient use of the cross was therefore universal, alike by those who could and those who could not write ; it was, indeed, the symbol of an oath, from sacred associations, as well as the mark gen- erally adopted. Hence the origin of the ex- pression ‘‘ God save the mark,” as a form of ejaculation approaching the character of an oath.

Book Learning.—The faith in lesson books and readings is one of the superstitions of the age. Even as appliances to intellectual culture, books are greatly overeestimated. Somathing gathered from printed pages is supposed to enter into a course of education: but, if gathered by observation of lifa and nature, is supposed not thus to enter. Reading is seeing by proxy—is learning ins directly through another man’s faculties, in- stead of directly through one’s own faculties: andsuch isthe prevailing bias that the indirect learning is thought preferable to the direct learning and usurps the name of cultivation. Valuable knowledge can be obtained only by persenal effort. Every one must traverse the hills and vallays for himself, and it is only by unremitting application and perse- verance that the attempt will be crowned with success. But to the devoted, persever- ing seekers,success Is certain. The state of mind is such as to insure the best use being made of any accessible helps, and of the exe ercise of ingenuity and application in surs mounting dilliculties even in absence of all foreign aid. Whatever may be his present deficiencies and disadvamlages, the person— especially the young person—who is so sens sible of the value of knowledge as to apply his heart to understanding—to seek for it as for silver, and to search for it as for hidden treasures—assuredly shall not seek in vain. Knowledge is the prize of application—the reward of constant and unwearying efforts, The indolent seeker after learning is no more apt to gain scholarly culture than the lazy
