It is but fair to ourselves to cow-

of our suggestions. We will say first,

however, that nothing in our article justi-

On the contrary, indeed, we arc as ready as any one to recognize the enterprise and activity of Mr. Ellis with regard to these entertainments

Now, having said this, «a few words as to our theory We did 1 bticipate that it would have found an oj t

It was simply this : that these readings pi

must’ either rai r debase the tast of the audience. H I we sai a“ ry- thing read ‘“‘ should be good after its kiad;’’ and the principle object should be the elevation of the stendard of taste in literature. Now, we are told that to | * ke p an au lience, to be elevated is the |

first object of all. This, we humbly take

leave to deny. It is no use keeping an audience

with the intention of improv-

ing it, if we leave the intention unful-

filled. The means and the end must be harmonious. If there are ni means | of elevating the taste but by first

pandering to it, it is a very great pity. In literature, this doctrine is simply “let us de evil that good may come.’’ ‘ioethe, speaking of an analogous case, says: “the true poet or artist marches in the van- guard of culture, having faith in human

nature; only the dilitante, relies on the imitation of baseness to recommend

him to the uncultivated

Lastly, we must enter a hearty protest | against the assumption that literary or scientific societies engender priggishness and twaddle. this kind are generally debating elubs, we presume that they are meant Whether one is more apt to grow a prig when he has te appear before an audience without either his taste or statements being ques- tioned, or in a society where all bad ar- gument, absurd doctrines, copyism, or affectation is sure to be sharply criticised, is‘a question not to be asked.’ We can confidently say that all other societies here which have brought their members before the public in any way, have had a greater tendency to develop those disa- greeable qualities than our best debating clubs.

In conclusion, we know Mr. Ellis will take our remarks in the spirit in which they were written, and believe that it is not ill-nature or captiousness which actu-

A Literary and fusical Entertainment, in which a large number of pupils took an active part, was given in the upper Hall of the Academy building. The audience was not large, the hall being little more than half full, Other- wise, the entertainment was a complete success. Each of the performers, even the most juvenile, did well.

Mdlle. Rachel, the late great French tragic actress, who, nineteen years ago, visited the United States on an aritistic tour, had a deserved reputation for shocking avarice ; in fact, she would have cut a cent in four pieces: As she was at supper one night, in a reunion of artists and authors at Alex- ander Dumas’ father’s (whose prodigalities and superb disdain for money afforded a striking contrast with the celebrated Jew- ess’ covetousness), the company indulged in playing cards. and Rachel, taking out of her pocket-book some money forthe game, efta silver piece of fifty centimes (ten cents) fall on the floor. Much troubled by that incident, she immediately called for Dumas’ servant to bring a candle and fetch the important trifle. ‘‘ Let me do it,’ may liciously exclaimed Dumas, sending back his servant, ‘ 1’!l find it for you, my love.” And taking out of his pocket a bank note of 100 francs, he lighted it at the lustre, picked up under the tavle the piece of one-half franc, and most generously tens dered it to Rachel, who carefully put it in her portmonnaie as she would have done with a relic coming from her ancestor,
