and, ridiculous as ii may appear, they havea distinctive privilege to walk across the grass plots in the guadran- les of their respective colleges, which is a punishable offence on the part of a plebeian undergraduate. When Dr. Lord Mansell, Bishop of Bristol, was Mester of Trinity, this rule was most rigidly enforced, as well as the wearing of knee breeches. His butler used to ex- ercise the functions of a detective policeman, watch- ing from a window, and diligently reporting al} viola- tera of the episcopal mandate.

POLITICAL KNOWLEDGE. We frequently hear people exclaiming, as if gioried in their tynorance-—“ We do not meddle wath! politics; we know nothing about political affurs, and |

{ they |

eate less.” This is equivalent toacknowledginy that),

they neglect their own concerns, and are ignorant of| the most important duties incumbent upon the citi

zens of a free country. One may refuse to be a rabid) partizan, and may neglect to aeqnaint himself with ail} the political gossip of the times, without being justly | chargeable witha dereliction of duty. Buthe who neg-| lects the study of politics, in the proper sense of the} term, is one who wi/i not acquaint himself with the laws! and constitution of his country, and is regardless of the | best policy for regulating national affairs. There are} many individuals who say they are willing to leave} these matters to politicians, and do not think it best for; private citizens to dabble in them. Suppose all our| private citizens were to take the same ground, and leave! the work of legislation exclusively to politicians, how) tong, think you, would the people retain their sovereign | ty? The truth is, that in this country the study of po-| litics 18 every man’s business. Political economy and «| knowledge of the prominent measures of government. should be familiar to every ci{izen; and just in proper-| tion tothe number of our citizens whe are ignorant on | these points, is the country unprovided witha @hecs against the encroachments of ambitious politicians upont the liberties of the people. To boast of one’s ignorance | of politics is as foolish and ridiculous as to boast of one’s) ignorance of the common branches of English education. A knowledge of reading, writing and arihietic 18 not} mofe necessary for success in the transaction of the; common business of life, than is a knowledge of politics, for the preservation of our free instiutions, if any onc; is ignorant of politics, let him seek to be enlightened, ; not boast of his ignorance and glory in his shame. As} well might one bosst of being a slave, az to boast of that sgnorance which, if it were general, must inevita-| uly lead to slevery.—Boston Path- Finder.
