will not those faculties, whetted and bished by his academic exercises, win for him in the marts of commerce or on the atock exchange a record itt every Way as respectable, as if ie had entered a mercan- tile office in his fboyhood, had elearied the windows and scrubbed the floor, and polished up the handle of the big front door !

Here then is the point upon which I wish to lay some strees. The classics are maligned becanss they are consider- ed to have no share in the successes of life—they are not to be seen actively engaged in money-making—they do not buy and sell, and in the marta of the world the cadences of their periods are unheard

tut their work was the work of preparation

They fitted the youth for his career, more thoroughly than the hunting field, cricket, and other athletic sperts give men the endwance which fit them for the arduous business of war. We can, however, scarcely be astonished at the ingratitude with which the work of the classics is treated. ‘In every day life we are too apt to lose sight of the poor schoolmaster’s work in early days when fitting us for life’s journey. The farmer could hardly be expected to treasure up with grateful remembrance the remnants of the whetstone that set an edge on the scythe and lessened his labors in the wheat-field. Ah no! The whetstone and classics are wrapped in the same pall of oblivion—but they both did their parts in setting the loaf of bread upon the table for all that.

Bat, it is urged, why should Greek and Latin be chosen as instruments of intellec- tual culture, in preference to modern European languages! The reason is ob- vious: To establish a chair for each of the modern languages would involve an ex- penditure which poor commu ities could not meet. But the want is I think excellently well supplied, when a fair know- ledge of Greek and Latin is imparted to the classes. Such a knowledge is, as it were, a master key which epens the door of modern languages with ease. It is the magical open sesame securing an entrance to the rich literary treasures, which the nations of Europe have hoarded up for centuries. For these reasons, if we would dea! kindly by the student, we would not banish Latin and Greek in order to make way for modern languages, but we would inculcate Latin and Greek that we might facilitate the acquirement of modern languages.

I have already shown that a classical education can be a most excellent prepar- ation for any ordinary avocation in life. It is scarcely necessary to say that the learned professions, as they have been called, would, if deprived of classical culture, de- generate intoa most crude condition, while without its aid, men of letters especially would find their productions growing more and more feeble, and sinking at length into decrepitude and oblivion. There cannot be a doubt but that good writing will alone endure the test that time applies. And the more classical the mould in which thought is cast the surer itis of immortality. In all our great poets and orators passages occur remarkable for their energy and beauty. These awaken at once the readers admir- ation and will continue to excite the admir

ing despair of the student as long as the Engiish language is spoken. If we try to find a reason for this, we shall probably discover that the artist has drawn his inspiration from a classic model—the features, the

grace and smmetry of form belong to Rome or Athens, the drapery is Engiish. And here, ladies and gentlemen, there arises in my mind a desire, which my own leisure, as well as my respect for your good nature force me to disregerd, I am tempted te collect and lay before you passages from our poets, orators, dramatists, «ssayists and historians, so closely resembling the great classics that their paternity cou'd not for a moment be called in doubt. The group would most of all resemble a band of foundlings, who by some s'range chance have been found straying through British fields far away from their native haunts near the Acropolis or the Capitol, by the Aufidus or the Llissus.

When I speak of a resemblance to the classics, Ido not mean a servile imitation of these authors. The likenessI speak of may be explained; but I doubt if it can be defined. It may be an inspiration or some habit of the mind, superinduced by intense appreciation and study of the great models of antiquity, which tinge our con- ceptions and give them, so to speak, a com-

lexion resembling their great originals.

ou, who have some intelligent appreciation of music, have, I dare say, often admired the skill with which a scientific musician, taking for his theme some fine old melody, weaves artistically around it a rich tracery of harmony and melody — but. still through all the adornments, can be heard the solemn tones of the grand original theme, its very breadth and richness adding inspiration to the artist who grows bolder and bolder in his flights, till one hardly knows which to admire the more, the massive grandeur that inspires without ex- haustion such marvellous efforts, or the talent which drinks in so fully the inex- haustible inspiration. Thus are the litera- tures of these tongues interwoven and blended together in harmonious union.

Some months 4go, a graduate, I believe of Harvard, indulged in some violent lan- guage azainst the study of Greek. This is to be regretted, for if there be one nation in the world more than another in need of the lessons which Greece covld ¢ffectively inculcate, that nation is the Republic of the United States. The democracy of Athens was not avulgar mob. It was imbued with the finest tastes in art and literature. It could appreciate the oratory of Pericles the plays of Sophocles, the odes of Pindar, the philosophy of Socrates and Plato, the sculpture of Phidias and the paintings of Appelles. Here is a wide field for Amer- ican energy. But there is, I fear, little hope that the Great Republic will ever cul- tivate it, or become a home for the fine arts and literature. Dollars come slowly in from such sources. It will take her a long time to learn like Florence, “How to ennoble trade by making trade the ally of philosophy, of eloquence and of taste. Compare the leading Periodicals of Great Britain with those of the United States, and you will for yourselves discover the full value of a classical training for men of letters.

_ To conclude, I have endeavored lamely, it may be, but with a grateful sentiment on my own part, to vindicate classical stucies

HAIR RENEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure diseases of the scalp, and the first suc- cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its natural color, growth, and youthful beauty. It has had many imitators, but none have so fully met all the requirements needful for the proper treatment of the hair and scalp. HALL’s HAIR RENEWER has steadily grown in favor, and spread its famhe and usefulness to every quarter of the globe. Its unparak leled success can be attributed to but one cause: the entire fulfilment of its promises.

The proprietors have often been surprised at the receipt of orders from remote coun- tries, where they had never made an effort for its introduction.

The use for a short time of HALL’s HAIR RENEWER wonderfully improves the per- sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It stimwiates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward a new and vigorous growth. The effects of this article are not transient, like those of alcoholic prepara- tions, but remain a long time, which makes its use a matter of economy.
