"Were the time running through many i ears now epput tn tiling 10 learu Greek and iatin (and even the tutors and prores3 )rs are themselves but triers, whose knowledge is, fir the most put, supericmi) were this time flven to English litpra.ure, to a critical and at be siuie time heaity study of tbe choicest Inflisb pages, especially those of tbe poet', not only would the lev who. from linguistic aptitude, acquire some command over the vocabularies uf tbe ancient languages, get dou ble the profit owing not only to tbe greater distinctness cf tbe thought, but chiefly to the warmth wherewith scntimeats conveyed la the mother tongue are tmbr.iced, and io the deeper stirring ot the mind through sympathy With national, fraternal spokesmen but the majority of every class those wbo learu little as undergraduates of or through Greek or Latin, aid as gtaduates never oopu a Greek or Latin toenk would most of them learu much, and bold what they learnt as a permauent resource, becoming at once cordially Interested ia their native writers, into whose maning they leap at sight, grasping words with iervent familiarity; sad even tbe slowest waul i gather up some thing either of language for nse, orot uncon scious rednpmeot in sentiment, or of rectifica tion of opinion. "But, it may be urped, and fairly urged, a yeung man wbom it bas been tbougbt worth While to send to college is not liberally cdacaied unless he knows something of tbe two great cultivated historical peoples or abtiquity. True; but to get this desirable kuowleuge ike surest fiath does not lie through ibe dictionary aud he grammar, through which most collegians learn only 'a little Latin aLd le-s Greek,' the most' of them repelled by tbe, to tbe most, fruitless drudgery from looking into tbe life ot tLese aucients, who, far olf as ttuy lie, arQ part ot our mental ancestry. As such let the wbole class be taugbt so much of tbe thought and baing of tbe Greeks and tbe Ro mans tbat they, many of them at least, shall be stimulated to get more by themselves. By a method wbich carries the teaching vividly into Ibelr heedful minds, let them bd taught whit Homer was and dischylas, whtt VtrgU twd Aureltus. what Socrates and Zeno. Especially should the heroism of Grecian and Bjniau story which is the underlying granite of a national lite he brought ho me, to the heart. History is, by the young, read with the mot ilstinttcehs and lmpres&iveuess ia the throb bing pages of biography. ' To tbem let the lives ot tbe purely great stand for human life. Tbe lower side of life they learn last euough on the play-ground, in the stieet, it may be at home, or on tome other tract of the foot- worn arena of reality. Woat ia peculiarly healthful to the freeb, expanding keo?iolluies is toe ideal, as manifested in tbe lives of Ihe beat aud greatest." From "Traditional Fish Stories," by W. W. Crane, we take tbe following: "Ibe story ot Btiidoai's alventures with the CM an of the Sea, taken in cauuecton with tbe fcreat resemblance lo men, both iu appearance and maooers, as well as tbe uulimited cip toity ior draokenups-i. of the quadrumana tbat are so plentiful in Malaysia, ooes not seem by any tneavs so groundless as it bas been consuierad. 7he ouratg outang exbibtts this resemblance strongly eLOugh to mate its name of 'wild wan', a very appropriate one; and the eibbou illy obaka tar), with its long aims, bent lorru, sua ilngularly humau like face, enc rcled by Jong white hair and whisirers, presents exactly such a figure as Siudbad describes. "Sindbad's account of his cipture by canni bals, wbom he described ns bucks, appears very Jlaosible when we reoierr.ber that the lnbabl stitg ot New Guinea acd ra,ny of the neiubbor lag islands are both cannibals aud blacks, hue tbe natives ot tbafijt fianus, although of a different race, come under the same de enptioa with equal propriety. It is most pro bable, however, ttat the savages teferred to are the people of the Andaman Islands, wbo belong to the Papuan or Ne w 0 uina met?, and are men tioned as cannibals by Maroo Polo, bind Oil Buys thecauDlbal biacirs gave himself and compauious a species of hero to eat. which he managed to avoid doing, but when tbe rest bad eaten it they Inst tbeir reason, so tbat the blacks bad no trouble guarding ihetn while tley were belog fattened.

"When that noble and chivalrous guuileruiu, Marco Polo, returned to Vejice aFrer mik nir Kuch a journey as tbe wotld bad never wit nessed, he gave an account of his travels, the truth to life, sound conmn sehse and wonder ful n out'sty ot which ought to have gand lull credence ior it in t-uch an ei lit-tt eued com munity as the Vt'iictian republic Of tnas day. but, on tne contiarv, all ot tbe great wanderer's statements tbat did not Mice to things with wblch the per.ple ot Europe were already familiar v. ere disbelieved by a mijorlty even of Lis lellow-ciuzeu". (so muca was tnis the case that the name of 'Mesaer Maico Millioni,' which was bestowed vu bim at tue time (from which circumstance his louse received Its appellation, Etill retained, of 'Oortedel Jliil out'), is said to have been intended more as an ailasion to bis extensive stories tban, as some th nf, to bis great weaUb. And yet t ils same account, com pared with mouern invetii;atious and dis cevtrtps, presents such 8n iustance of truthful ness and freedom tro.n exaggeration as It would be had t3 bud a parallel to In the history of any age or country 1 ' About two centuries arterwBrds another man with a mind too lurpe to bo confined witmn tbe trammels ot custom and tne stereotyped beliefs of tbe tine a native of the other great com mer cial port of Italy started out In o the unknown ocean, undertaking a greater journey than that which Marco Polo b id made in lheoDposit3 direction. Tbe result ot bis praud experiment so electrided tbe civilized world tbat, lor some tin.e after tbe discovery of America, it seemed prepared to believe aioiOit anything. But toe multitude of groundless or greatly exaggerated stoties tbat luundn'ed iSurope alter tbit event finally produced a reaction, and tbe natu ral propensity of meu to d.iubt the existence ot everything they have never happened to see was erhlbiteJ mure sirougly than ever. Many a poir traveller, alter endunug hardships . and penis such as could not even be imagined by those wuo bad not experienced them, came buck to be ridiculed and insulted by everybody. Prominent among those who distinguished, themselves in this manner at tbat d ty was that savage o'd mental prize-tighter. Dean Swift, whose history of the adventures of an individual with the suggestive name ot VJ.illiver,' was aimed at the praence ot decribing whit D?au UiogcLes himself used to ca',1 'the thing which' is not."' Thaddeus Norris' "Plea for the Shad" ha? some Interesting facts and figures. We quote the following: "From all the Information ! have been able to collect on thissuoject in same years, there is lio doubt tbat bjiore internal improvements barred the passive of migratory Ashes, two mtllious of shad per annum would be a low estimate tor tbe SusqbehanDa. Tnis nwaibir leaving out tue berrmst would bo worih a half million ot dollars at present wholesale prices. Let us see wbat it would coat to regain this wealth of fish food, which 'we, the peoole,' have been de prived by unju-t, or, to say ihe lea3t, by lmpro ilent legislation. "As a prelude io this simple matter of figures, it is proper to say to those unncq ia'ntea with the fuel that tnere is litigation ac present be tween tbe State and the I'e'ni-sjlvauia Unlroad, tbe Int er contending that the act of M ircu, 18GC, obliging tbat coinptuy to b jild tishways in their dams, is unconstitutional, inasmuch as the company bought the internal improvements, without incambiaoce, from tae State. Ihe able counsel ior the company, when the cse came teiore tbe court at Htrrisburg lately, argued tbat the.e were twenty-one dams owned by that company, aud that tho trectloa of flsliways would' therefore cost bis clients two hundred and ten thousand do'lars, or ten thousand dollars lor each dam. This would b3 good arithmetic, certainly, it the sum was airly stated. This, however; is not tbe case, as Colonel Worrall built a fish-way through the dam of the BuquebeuDa Caual Comp-tny at Columbia, in the tall oi 18C?, or Ave toousaud dollars, and it is reasonable to suppo-e tbat fish-ways at the dams on tue branches and tri butaries could be made lor lees. Taking tue average cost, however, at rive tboiisauJ dollars, the outlay woul 1 be one huudred a ad five thousand dollurg, the annual interest of which Is scarcely an eightieth part of tho value tbat would accrue io ibe people of the Sate if fish was were iu operation. "A auestion oi grave importance Is, will the State, if the case is d.-cided against tbjCjm. monwealtb, deny its population this -half roil lion do'lars worth of Dsn, when so paitry a sum, with a slight additional cxpenli.ure for keeping tbo ways in order, would ru-tore it? It is confidently to be hoped that our Legislature will not ba to niggard and behind the at;e. If the decision shall be that the tiia'.e bas no right to compel tbo company to build fish-ways, it is evident that tho Ma.e hat no right by its improvidence, wheD it constructed dam", to deprive its citizens ot the product of ab-rics on ihe Susquehanna. If tbe act of March. 1866, is unconstitutional, tho act creating tbe dams which stopped tbe ascent of fish was also un constitutional. In short, it Is just and proper tbat tbe btate should, at its owa con ana at as early a per.od as pos.-ible, restore the rights wb.ch it hue taken away, and bo reimbursed or not by the railroad compauy as tbe peadlu Bull shall award. It is possible that, to a niriotly legal mind, this may not be 'law.' uut it is equity, and in equity, we trust, our legislators win ueai with us. "A 'fith way, as many of your readers are aware, is an inclined Diane witu odsets pro. Jec'mg from each hide, or a succession of pools or steps, one a little ubove ihe other, by which fish can surmount a dum or natural tall. These fisbwajs may extend irom the crest of the da n to the wa'er below, or tbroucrti the breast ol tho dam, as aay noexteiient. Tbe de cent in the inclined plne varies from one in teu ti oue iu fltteen fee .according to the force of the current. When step or poois are used, the inclination is les?. ine loot ot the inclined plane or f a suc cession of steps sh juid not extend out into the Bfill water, but should termluate tn the rapid, orwlnre thowaier liom aoove tails into the level below. At such places shad and berriug instinctively seek an upward passage, aud lu their t arch are sure to find it. "Migratory fishes from tbe sea ascpnd fresh rivers to soan. a d will not stop sbort of the placet of their birth, but bave a deposition to go oetond. This instinctive habit has been ex emplified by shad going through the huh wav of the dam at Columbia tu tbe summers of 1867 and 1808. 1 he first season tbey found tbeir way as far as Newport ou the Juoiata, aud the whole number taken in a stretch ot 60 miles abovethis dam, wblch bad to long barred their ptssage, was estimated as high as tweuty thousand. 1 wt Numerous shad fry also, the produce of the fish bleb, were not taken, were teen descending the river during the mtex part of the lummer.
