C JM POSITION.
The Anglo-Saxon language is not a pure one.
We know it, and, without any extenuation, we
are not ashamed to acknowledge it at all times.
It is an amalgamation. The Greek with its
"roots ;" the Lai in with its purity ; the German
with its''sweet accent," together with a great
many "provincialisms" enter into its formation.
Though we do not claim for the English lan
guage purity and originality, yet we know that
it is continually undergoing changes which rob
it of its imperfections,and present to us a means
of communicating thoughts and ideas, at once
the most concise and beaulitul in the world.—
Compare, if you please, the miserable "twad
dle" during the reign of William the Conqueior
with its present perGction and the contiast is
most strikingly beautiful. If the past has
wrought such prodigies in our language, what
bright piospects are there not lor the future ?
How comfortable one feels when he is intro
duced! Now to our subject. We love com
position, —that is, we like a good one written by
some one else. Nothing is more gratifying to
us than to pore over some able article ot prose,
written by one from whose pen drop the words
like beautiful coins from the mint, and who
can handle it as skilfully and effectually as a
Zouave can his musket. Lately we have been
gratified in this respect ; of which presently.—
But we had almost forgotten to announce—hope
the Editor won't—that the educational column
of this paper has been placed under our charge,
that we are to serve up weekly dissertations
on the "great cause," and invite o'h-ers, whose
"forte" runs in that direction, to do so. How
onerous itse task ! Fain would we invoke the
Prose's Muse to hover around us, and the mantle
of some savant to fail upon us. And here we
entertain the fond hope that all readers will
indulge us in any mistake that may occur while
we are treating the subject of composition.—
Now, really, we,— I'm too modest to say I—
never studied the '-noble art" itself, but know
that it is a good thing ; and that "every teacher"
should devote more or less of "/AetV'time in
acquiring it ; so that "they" could impart the
same to their pupils and give them a brighter
conception of the beauties of the English lan
guage. Composition, according to my narrow
way of thinking, is the miscellaneous arrange
ment of ideas as represented by words either
written or printed. No reference need be had
as to which word shall come first, but a regu
lar Brabdignagian, or mechanical style of com
posing is the spirit of the age. During the
writing of an ordinary composition all rules of
Grammar may be suspended ; singular substan
tives can tie used with plural predicates; all
injunctions of such modern innovators as Smith, 1
Biown and Clark to the contrary notwitbstan
ding. VVebster'g or Worcester's orthography
may be followed, if you choose, but even these
lexicographers differ and the shortest method ot
settling the controversy is, for each one to spell
words, in "their" own way. For,
"When Doctors disagree,
Disciples then are tree."
As to punctuation, it requires very little atten
tion. Punctuation maiks were invented by a
person of short breath ; and ihey are used by
printers only to show where the reader should
pause and take breath so as not to become ex
hausted. A few commas may be thrown in,
here and theie, foi variety, tor to abolish them
ail at once would be too great an innovation.
Elliptical, adverbial, prepositional and substan
tive phrases and 'entences may be p!ac< d miscel
laneously. Logic and "figures ol speech" need
not be observed ; though the latter may occa
sionally be a " ridiculous figure." Such are
the general and most important rules of Com
position as observed by modern writers. Some
peisonsmay consider them flagrant innovations;
all such.are respectfully referred to the Jast is
sue ot the "Inquirer E luca'ional Column."
For the benefit of those who have not seen that
production I will make a few liteial quotations,
prefacing them with the points which they are
designed to illustrate. Syntax : —"lt would be
well lor every person to ask himself or herself
whether they are preparing for the duties ot trie
responsible position in which they desire to
place themselves." Grammar, Orthography
and Punctuation : —"lt is not nec-ssary ihat
every teacher should attend school or devote
their tune holy to study although this is advan
tageous when circumstances will allow of it."
Incognito : —"They have attended school f \>ri
several winters, and have been through the
Arithmetic."" Query— were they hired by!!}♦•
"winters ?" Tense :—"The finest scholars that
have ever lived have educated themselves, &.c."
Emphasis, punctuation and logical conclusion,
in dramatic style:—"They cannot earn tbeu
board more than that they do the schools a pos
itive injury." And a host ofothers "too te
dious to mention." Tiiis is a great age ;in fact
a progressive age. Education is flowing a
freely as the brooks from the mountain side ;
and ignorance and superstition, twin relics ot
the dark ages, flee from it as darkness from the
raysofthe morning sun. But let this suflic
ior the present. Just a word in your ear, Ed
ucational scribbler ! In the position you have
assumed you should be very caretul how you
represent the educational interests of the coun
ty. For, "lay not the flattering unction to
your soul" that the Argus-eyed teachers ot
Bedford county will allow you to spout forth
such crude lava fiom your well-filled (?) crani
um, without dissecting it and unmasking its de
formity. " Wrapt in the solitude of your own
originality you scribble to the utter dispar
agement of all rules of grammar. Grumble not
if you are rebukecfc

-HARRIEII
BURNS—CRAINE.—On lhe Ist ultT, by
the Rev. H.Heckerman, Mr. James E. Burns,
of Juniata township, to Miss Kate Craine, of
Bed ford.
--DIEII-
At Tipton, lowa, on the morning ot the 19th'
01 May, after three days' illness, departed this]
life, JOHN L. FYA.N ESQ , son of Rob't. Fyan,!
Merchant, of this place, in the 28th year of his 1
age. Our whole community of Bedford wasj
overcast with a cloud of gloom and sadness—j
when the news of the sudden demise of this
most estimable and promising young man who'
had been raised amongst us reached our Bor-j
ough. By this mournful dispensation in one
moment were blasted the bright hopes and cher
ished anticipations of his devoted parents, rela
tives and friends, as to a long career of useful
ness and honor—which it was fondly believed
lay before him. The deceased alter a very sol
id and religious education at Emmitsburg Col
lege, where he had won the applause.ot his pro
fessors by his brilliant parts and (lis earnest ap
plication to his studies, embraced the profession
of law. in this place, under the guidance of two
10l our prominent lawyers. Fully qualified and
preparred to enter upon the arena ol public life,
lie went forth to the great West, to carve lor
himself, away to fortune and lame. Having
chosen for his permanent residence, the flour
ishing.County town ot Tipton, lowa, he gave
himself up with great ardour to the duties of
tiis profession. After a residence of nearly six
years, by his uncommon talents and industry he!
raised himself to the head ol the bar at this
place. He was extremely successful in lis
pleadings and won golden opinions from all.
He ndeared himself specially to tire poor and]
the humble, who:e cause he freely undertook
without fee or reward, except the conscious
ness of doing a noble and generous action. Be
ing of a warm, social temperament he did not
I confine his talents to forensic puisuits alone.—
When he saw his countey, this glorious Union
exposed to danger by Southern machinations,
he could not repress his patriotism. He suc
cessfully formed a military company—of which
he was with one voice chosen th" Ist Lieuten
ant. Their services were tendered to the Gov
ernor of the State of lowa, who accepted them
and confirmed him, in tiis appointment. On
the occasion of a great Union demonstration, at
the Court House, the citizens shewed their es
timation of his character, when the Tipton
Guards were in attendance, he was unanimous
ly called upon, though unprepared, to address
the vast assemblage, which he did with signal
effect : and though many eminent speakers had
preceded him, he carried off the palm of elo
iquence. His disease of bilious cholic baffled
the skill of his physician, and sent him to a
premature grave. He was interred in the
public cemetery ol Tipton with ail the honors
il war, clothed in his uniform, and amid the re
grets of his fellow citizens. But parental af
fection could not be satisfied with this. His
venerated remains were dis-interred, and
brought to this place and solemnly consigned to
their last resting place in the Catholic Cemetery,
on the Ist of June, when his friends and former
fellow townsmen thronged to pay the last sad
offices to all that was earthly of him, and to heai
his funeral sermon. His sudden death preven
ted him from being fortified by the spiritual suc
cors and holy rites ol tiis church ; but his ut
tered wish to receive the consolations of reli
gion, and his well-known charity to the poor,
„: are evidences that the seeds of a pious educa
tion burst forth in his last mom-mis, and pleaded
sfor him with that God with whom charity goes
ivery far, nay covereth a multitude ol sins. ]
I Under this afflicting dispensation, may the be
reaved parents be so sustained and strengthened
by God's holy grace, as to be enabled to feel and
say with the pious Shonamitess, under a similar
stroke, "It is well," or with the resigned Heli;
"It is the Lord, let him do as seemeth good in
gHis sigh!."
1 Such was the youth we loved so well,
And such the hopes that fate denied ;
We iov'd, but ah! could scarcely tell
How deep, how dearly 'tilt he died.
Close us the fondest links could strain,
Twin'd with our very hearts he grew ;
And by that fate which breaks the chain,
The heart is almost broken too.
