inches long, which he had found would together burn for fourand-twenty hours. Having marked the inches on them thereFormerly Sir, now fore, he ordered that they should be lighted in succession, and each three inches that were consumed he considered as recording the flight of an hour. But finding that the candles burned away more quickly at one time than at another, on account of the rushing violence of the winds, which sometimes would blow night and day without intermission through the doors and windows, the numerous chinks in the walls, or the slender Soft, flexible, supple covering of the tents, he bethought him how he might prevent this inconvenience; and having contrived artfully and wisely, he ordered that a lanthorn should be fairly fashioned of wood and horn, for white horn, when séraped thin, allows the light to pass through even like glass. The candle, therefore, being placed in the lanthorn thus wonderfully constructed, as we have said, of wood and horn, was both protected from the wind and shone during the night as luminously without as within." This is a simple record, but contains a great fact and a wise principle. Alfred loved literature for its own sake; he sucked the flower for the honey, and on account of his having united a virtuous disposition with a well disciplined mind, posterity remembers him as a wise, amiable, and exemplary king. Of the Emperor Julian it is also recorded, that he spent much of his time in the acquisition of knowledge. We are far from justifying all the deeds of this valorous warrior and distinguished monarch, but it is sufficient for present purposes to say, that during his campaigns he was accustomed to spend many hours in literary pursuits, and that he has given to posterity several learned Greek works, as the result of his perseverance in mental cultivation.

Other noble and wealthy literati might be named, such as Democritus, Anaxagoras, Charlemagne, James I. of Scotland, Elizabeth, Alphonso, Peter the Great, and John Napier. We have made this brief reference to these men of wealth, as illustrative of the sentiment, that intellectual pursuit is not incomDemoniac, bored, patible with the possession of wealth, and as showing that dunned mental excellence is independent of social position. In considering the case of the wealthy, it is but just to remember, that they have allurements and temptations to which poor students are not exposed, and it redounds greatly to their honour, and proves their magnanimity, inasmuch as they have risen superior to all dissipating influences, and resisted the force of the most powerful temptations, that they might increase in knowledge, and cultivate an acquaintance with the sages, philosophers, poets, and historians, whose works survive their writers and form the text-books of admiring successors.

SKETCHES FOR YOUNG THINKERS.

(Continued from page 18.)

MONEY brings pleasure; so do fame, power, and position; but the pleasure of these is not to be compared with the refined, exalted, and exquisite enjoyment of intellectual excellence. No wise man despises money, or denies that it brings a certain amount of pleasure with it. The world, in an important sense, would be paralysed for want of money; "money answereth all things," and he is a happy man who understands its real value, and has a heart to appropriate it to honourable purposes. We avoid equally the extreme of avarice, and that of affecting contempt for money. The intellectual man, in his poverty, has a source of enjoyment unknown to the unlettered Dives who ro's in luxury and wealth. The two however, are by no means incompatible. Biography has embalmed the inemory of many who have had this world's wealth in abundance, and have added the riches of a well cultivated and powerful intellect. Alfred the Great was a royal student, and has exhibited an example worthy of the imitation of all his kingly successors. Although the son of a monarch, and possessor of all that was necessary to complete his worldly happiness, he devoted himself to literature with a zeal but rarely surpassed. He was pre-eminently an economist of time, as the following interesting quotation will abundantly testify:

II. Intellectual excellence is opposed to proud, pedantic, and undue self-satisfaction. The more knowledge a man possesses, the more does he see his own ignorance. This cannot be better exemplified than in the memorable words of Sir Isaac Newton when on his death-bed :-"I know not how others may regard me, but to myself I appear as a little child who has been amusing himself in gathering a few pebbles on the shore, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." This is humility; it is a philosopher speaking as a child, and in that hour he appears as great, if not greater, than in any other hour of his long and laborious life. True greatness looks more at what remains to be done, than at what is already accomplished. Learning tends to simplify, and not to bewilder and confound. Two or three examples may here be inserted as illustrations. In June, 1790, the Rev. John Wesley preached at Lincoln; his text was Luke x. 42: "One thing is needful." When the congregation were returning from the chapel, a lady exclaimed, in a tone of great surprise, "Is that the great Mr. Wesley of whom we hear so much in the present day? Why the poorest might have understood him. The gentleman to whom this remark was made replied, "In this, madam, he displayed his greatness; that while the poorest can understand him, the most learned are edified and cannot be offended." The following is of the same class and Having made his chaplains procure the necessary quantity equally striking:-The late Dr. C. Evans, of Bristol, having of wax, he ordered six candles to be prepared, each of twelve once to travel from home, wrote to a poor congregation to say. ‡ This is the plural of cosa, thing, pronounced kô-sah, one of that he should have occasion to stay a night in their village, and that if it were agreeable to them he would give them a those exceptional words where the s must be pronounced with a The poor people hesitated for some time, but at sharp, hissing sound, though it is placed between two vowels. sermon. This exception should be imprinted on the reader's memory, be-length permitted him to preach.

"Why, sir, to tell you the truth," said one of them, "knowing nihil sumis tuis") "Simonides takest thou nothing out of that you were a very learned man, and that you were a teacher thy riches"? to which question the poet thus curtly replied: of young ministers, we were much afraid we should not were much afraid we should not ("Mecum mea sunt cuncta") "With myself are all my things." understand you; but you have been quite as plain as any Plunderers attack the ship, carry off the booty, and leave the minister we ever hear."

That mind was learning in the pulpit; accordingly, on a certain occasion he not bestowed for no purpose. Its history-for minds have read his text in Hebrew. "Now," said he, "I suppose histories-is recorded, and we believe that one day that mind scarcely one in the congregation understands that." He then will have the power of taking the most minute retrospect of read it in Greek, and added: "Perhaps there may be one or itself, and will either rise to ineffable glory, or be covered two that understand me now!

These, out of an abundance of the man who has multiplied his talents, and is ready to sursimilar examples, are presented as containing the true principle render an account of his stewardship. of the use of learning. The most learned man is the most unpretending. Solomon has well said: "Seest thou a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope of a fool than of him.' Such a man deems himself above learning, or probably imagines that "wisdom was born with him," and that ne dignifies wisdom rather than himself being dignified by what little he does possess. There is more hope of instructing a man who is conscious of his own ignorance, than of training I NEXT take up words in og, (gen. woç); and in wç and w (gen. hira who is "wise in his own eyes."

Plural. always attends and recommends true learning. We need not further elaborate this division; it contains one practical lesson, S. N. which, if well studied and carried out in actual life, will prove eminently useful to the learner.

III. That intellectual excellence is independent of social position, is a strong proof of the Creator's benevolence. He has not bestowed wealth and its concomitant influence upon all, but he has given to the great majority of men minds capable of indefinite expansion and the highest cultivation. This thought no doubt led the poet to write,

"A mind is a balance for thousands a-year."

Some men by their birth inherit riches and grandeur of every description, but this is merely an accident, in the logical sense of that terin. It does not necessarily imply that they are either the wisest, best, or happiest of men. Hence Watts wisely says,

"Milo, forbear to call him blest
Who only boasts a large estate.'

The Scotch poet, Allan Ramsay, also ingeniously remarks, in
his beautiful Scotch pastoral the "Gentle Shepherd,"

"He that has just enough can soundly sleep,
The o'ercome only fashes folk to keep."

I also give specimens of nouns in wc and w, (gen. oo5=ovs), These are all feminine. The ending wc, in ordinary speech, is preserved only in the substantive aidwg, modesty, sense of shame; the dual and plural are formed according to the termination og of the second declension: thus ardoi, nxoi, k. 7. λ. Here follow the forms of ados, modesty, respect, and ǹ nxo, echo.

Large estates bring annoyance, vexation, and anxiety along with them. The labouring man is too prone to imagine that they are sure to bring unalloyed happiness, and to shield their owners from many, if not from "all the ills that flesh is heir to.' There is an old proverb which truly says, "He who has little to lose, is safer than the rich;" and Phaedrus has well proved this in his fable, "The two Mules and the Robbers," which the youthful reader will do well to ponder. The Creator has bestowed the greater, if he has withheld the less, and in this distribution of mind he has given one of the most convincing proofs of his loving-kindness and beneficence. The poor man may carry all his possessions about with him, but if he has a well-stored mind he has a spring of thought and feeling which | will supply him with refined enjoyment under all circumstances. Simonides, in the Shipwreck, has supplied a good illustration of this. He took no property with him; his fellow voyagers brought their possessions to the vessel, and one more mquisitive than the rest inquired: (“ Simonide, tu ex opibus | αρετην θαυμαζομεν.

Æsop's Fables.

THE ASS AND THE HORSE.

An ass called a horse happy because he fed so abundantly, while not even sufficient straw was supplied to him after the severest labours. But a war having arisen, the horse is driven to battle, and being surrounded by foes, at length, after incredible struggles, sinks on the ground pierced with many wounds. The ass behold ing all these things, said: "What a dolt I was to estimate happiness by the condition of the present hour!

THE HUSBANDMAN AND HIS SONS.

When a husbandman, advanced in life, felt that his decease was at hand, he called together his sons, whom, as is usual, he knew to disagree sometimes, and ordered a bundle of twigs to be brought. The twigs being produced, he bade his sons break the bundle. When they were unable to do so, he gave a twig to each one, and they being easily broken, he taught his sons how strong a thing is concord and how weak discord.

THE WOMAN AND THE MAID-SERVANT.

A widow woman, who gained her living by weaving, was accustomed to call up her servants to their work by night as soon as she heard the first cock-crow. But they, worn out by their daily toil, resolved to kill the cock. This being done, they began to be in a worse condition than before; for their mistress, ignorant (incerta) of the time, now often called her slaves even in the early part of the night.

In consequence, the eagle took her in his talons, and, carrying her aloft, let her down (demi it) so that she might be borne through the air. Then the tortoise fell on a rock, and being dashed to pieces, perished.-This fable shows that many persons being blinded by their own desires, refuse the counsels of those who are wiser (than they), and so are hurried to ruin by their folly.

THE NIGHTINGALE AND THE HAWK.

A hawk being hungry seized a nightingale. When the latter became aware that death was nigh, she had recourse to prayers, begging the hawk not to destroy her without a reason, for that she was unable to satisfy his very hungry appetite, and advised him to catch some birds of larger size. To whom the hawk replied: "I should be mad if I were to let go the prey I have, and instead of a Ι certainty fly about in search of uncertainties."

THE OLD MAN AND DEATH,

An old man had been cutting wood in a forest. Having made up his bundle of sticks he began to return home. Ile walked some distance on his way, when feeling worn out with the load and the journey, he laid his faggots down, and after reflecting on the evils of his age and destitution, calls aloud for Death to come and set him free from all these his troubles. Then Death, having heard his prayers, suddenly stands before him, and asks what he wants. But now sorry for what he had asked, the old man answered: "O nothing at all, except that I wish for some one who will help me to put this load on my shoulders."
