The literal direct iiuuiiIuk or the weril lib eral la froe. l'refl from what ? or in li.it aenseiree? Let us try te answer this ijuos ijues ijuos Hen, and se ondearor te get at the true mean, lag of liberal education. FRKKD FROM UTILITMIIAN 111 S. Liberal sometimes me.ius large, unstinted, as when we siy ofseiuo one, he gave a liberal contribution J buteeu in such n use of the word this secondary meaning is derived from the primary meaning, that the contri bution Is froe rreui narrowuess or ionurieus iiess, tbat Is, it is unbound, unrottered. Liberal education is education Ireed from any utilitarian bias, or from any purinise or end Uwt lies eutside el education itself. It has Its end directly and primarily in itselr. Other ends it does, indeed, subserve, se tint it may be Bald te be utilitarian in the highest and truest sense, but this is net the direct purpose aimed at. Such education is at tained by that mental diclpline which best develops and cultivates all the newers of the miud. It will tend te froe the mind Irem narrowness by bringing it into the pueie el truth, and by making It mibiect only te the power of truth. At lirHt the'uilud is imder the control or sonse uud of private opinion. Its convictions are determined hy its narrow experiences, and by Its likes uud dislikes, all holding in the element or feeling rather than lntelliceuce. The case is miltn like the development or will, which we bring for- ward as an illustration because the uuseliing I of the will Beems te be mera easily gnuied than theunsenslngorthe miud. Let us state this. The will Is at first sel fish, in the sense that It Is goverued by the natural inclinations nnd desires. This may be nalve seltisbnes., which means that It is net yet evll ; it Is simply natural, nnd there fore neutral, neither geed nor bad, It has, as yet, no moral character. New, when the will begins te be confronted by right, in the form of laws or commands, it begins te de termine itself by intelligible or rational mo me mo tlves It acts rationally. In the degree, then, In which it comes te Mibmlt itself te right, it becomes freed lrem the constraint of merodeslre or Inclination, and mi outers the sphere of moral freedom, and the will be comes entirely rree when It directs llclivi- ties purely by the ferce of mil iers.il will or right. r Though it may netaYinr .mi.iiiv n. process of unseusliigu mlml ls Blullar te tbeunsetilug gCt.U0 m. Trutli is ler Die intelWi '.vli.it right is for the v ill. Trutli is net only the nourishing feed fe- the intellect, but It is in a deep xonse lis life. The work of education consists e bringing the activi ties of the mind under the power of truth, which may be rilled universal reason. Just as seen as the child begins te learn it feels itself lifted upwards out el the sphere of mero feeling, or instinct, and brought into the atmosphero of truth. It Is for the child as with the young bird w hen It llrats spreads Its wings for Might, or as the fish feels its lile when placed in water. Truth is the tlemeut in which Us true lire expands. The intellect new acts according te rotseu, net according te mere feeling. Here vv e get the first meaning of Intellectual freedom. This condition of mind Is reached by grad ually bringing the Intellect Inte the sphere and under the control of universal mind, or mind in its generality. .Mind in this uni versal character Is formulated in the dlllor dlller eut branches erlearnlug. AVe meet it In lan guage, which is the form of thought, net merely my thought, but thought in its wider form, the widest and best that the world lias attalued. We meet it In mathematics, which fermulates the relutleu of things lu space, of qualities, A.c We meet It in Intelligent ob servation ei nature and the oiwratleu of the law of nature, and also in miud uud its nor mal activities. Tims the study el langunge, of geography, or the study el the earth, or arithmetic, of mental science, Ac., forms tiie work of the child's intellect. The mere It advances In the study or dillerent brunches el learning, the mere Its sphere of normal ac tivity ls enlarged, and thus the miud plumes itself for flight, as the young bird in its proper atmosphere, truth. THIS MtOIIMtM OF lHi:s. This is at once plain. Hut new w e encoun ter another point lu our statement, which may net be quite se evident. We reach the problem of use. Cm bone ' l'er what geed, or, for what end, is all tills We ad mit the dectrine of uses when properly un derstood. The intellect is net the whole man. The will is a part, and perhaps a deeper part, el man, and his education leeks te practical llfe as au end. The end of educa tion may be presented as it preparation te live a proper life in the world, and se at otie point or ether lu the process of education there w ill be a direction giv en te it that leeks te the practical application of learning. And it may be said that all true education ought te leek te this, at least indirectly, from the beglnniug. And as no man can fellow all pursuits, it ls required that he must prepare himself for some particular calling. Hut just bere the Idea of liberal education comes bofbreusasdlllerlng fromtechnic.il or pro fessional education. Audln order te understand Ibis we must new make a distinction betwoen what we may call general culture and particular cul , Amv. Beth are necessary uud essential If a peipu would qualify liiuiHolffer the work of llfe We make two points bore : First, that gen eral culture Is a necessary condition ler pir tlcular culture, ami second, tbat particular culture will bu elloctlve in practical life In the degree in which it is je tied with general culture. It will be at ouce admitted that some measure of mental training, us such, Is nec essary for the study of any speclal pursuit or avocation. That much Inconstantly assumed even lu our common school education. The child must study language, geography, arith metic, Ac, in order te qualify Itself intelli gently for any pursuit in urn. Its mind must have a certain degroe or development te be prepared even te learn a trade or Indus trial pursuit. The ului in its preliminary ed ucaueu iuubi oe uiruviiy lu uuvuiep uuu lliu- clpllne the mind, even though indirectly this may leek te the practical pursuit betore it lu lira. The question or utility, in the way el u direct application, must be held lu abeyance ler a time, and education ought nut te be cumbered at ilrst with any such uses te which ultimately Its education is te be ap plied. TUB LEAItNEU ntOFIISSlONH. TYlien, new, we rhe te a consideration et the ulgher pursuits or llie, theiethal require a greater mental discipline ami mero ex leaded knowledgo as the " loarned profes sion," It Is equally plain that the discipline required must be carried farther In the same way. Heoce we liave the academy and the college as schools where this discipline may be acquired. Here, tee. the question of prac tical application must be held In a bey an co UUlll UlO purely UJUUWl limiuufi . nuimu. Tiie cellege curriculum has been arrauged i.it, Mill, ihlMend In view.

Tills Is another slej we may say, In the pregri xs of a lllKiral education, though this does net .vet exhaust llie full Idea, ns no shall siu further en. AN JJll-enTA.Vll isrll'li. At this Hilnt a dlllerence el opinion allies. 801110 would change the original Idea of col cel col lege education nl this point, anil that in two vvajs, either by combining the purely men tal dtsclpllnenud llie practical application, or olse beginning lu the college already at Ic it the preliminary studies of vvhatever profes sion the student may have In view. That Is, 83UI0 mlvocate such studies lu the way of discipline as may at the same time furnish knowledge of a practical pursuit. Ter In stance, they would say, why net let llie Mil dent make lllackstene a text-lxtek at the sainotlme he ls stud lug T.ngllsh ; or take up practical engineering problems while he Is at the same time studying mithcumtics ; or Instead of jwring ever I-alln and llrcck, study a language vv hlcli he expects te use, as Herman or Trench ? We oppose this Ilrst notion because it is the entering wedge for a process et fettering the proper work of mental viiUure bv intreduc ing questions or practical application. .Such a process will naturally carry w ith it a bias erlcanlng toward the iutiire pursuit, and the danger ls that it will gradiisllv lnlure and defeat the freedom ofthe true almef college education. Besides It Is surrounded by many practical dllllcultlcs. .Ne cotire of studx' could be arranged lu tint vvav that would be equal te all. What might suit ene student would net suit another. The one looking fervvanl te medicine would net earn for the menial discipline te be gained In an alysing lllackstene. IIe would cliiuer for the discipline of sceialstudies in chemistry, and llie prosjieetlvo theolecuo would call for the studv el the (Ireek Testament or the Hebrew HIble. In short It Is plain that this would be mixing two dillereut and distinct courses of studv, and the probability is tliat both would stiller great Injury. Tills matter, then, ought te be decided purely en ILsewn merits, that is.the only elnt te Ik) considered ls w bother the usual college curriculum is the best that cm be used ler the purjiese of giving a young man general culture, or intellectual discipline, aside rreui ltadlrect relation te any ene practical puisuiL A considerable portion or the opposition te the study of Uroek mid LUiu would lall te the ground If the question vv ere thus proper ly stated. The question would net then be asked, as it se elten i, w li.it tise can lie undo in alter lifi efa knowledgo of tircek ' Its direct use pertains te the acquisition el gen eral culture, and wheu the question is put in that way, thore are low who hive an qualification te judge in tha mailer but would acknew ledge that the study or Urrek is emi nently suited te such purpose. We say net tuat the coliege ceurse neutrally adopted may net in) improved, but in considering that question all consideration or Us direct practical application te special pursuits must be entirely loll out or the case. This fall, vs re im:iiik sTinn-. The ether notion that the studies of the later years in college should be made elec tive, in order te allow- the student te select such as may have. i mure direct bearing en his future calling, simply means that the col lege should change its character uud become III part a professional school. This should be episwed, we think, beciiie the age require! net that the amount of html v prejaratery te professional vtudy should be lessened, but miner increased, vv e need net en large en it Mjlnt se plain as this, except te add that the e.v-i-eriinetit et intnxluciiig a lariety efisuirses is calculated te break down the true character el liberal culture, and really ib)U all by ren dering each imperfect and weak. Tbete is a somewhat dillereut phase el this notion el elective studies, which calls for them erl llie ground or a diversity of mental cipwuy. Hut as tills has only recently been di"evcred It seems probable that it Is breugut in rather te bolster up the ether phiwe of the notion. A young niae-V-hP has, no the capacity te study jjiiodepirtmeiil of college stud.v Is HUM HUelv net iiualllied te izraduate at all. -Jd he should seek soiue ether line or Werk ratlier than change the college curriculum te suit bis want of mental capacity. It is rather singular, besides, that this notion el elective courses is generally made te serve the pur pur jmise etshieldlng the student rreui hard study. ir (Jreek or Calculus were as easy as some ether 8tiuli(n,they would nut likely be elected mil f the rtgular conri-e.

Thov Isjlleve that education has un end in it-elf, Is-sides tiie special uses te wbicli it may be applied, that a cultured mind Is n seurce el happiness beyond all merely worldly geed. Shall the order et study in colleges Is) chang ed se Hint such would be deprived of g lining suchgeneral culture' We say no. let techuic and industrial schools be ei iwiisl ed te mtet the wants of these who prefer Himii but let our colleges reuniii for thesn who de Hlre te attain a liberal c ilture. And in our view it will be far better net te attempt te unite the two. Jly doing se Injth are llkely te lie impaired. Tin: nti!ih vi. ijri.sneN. Alter presenting these geiieral remarks we liave but little room te refer te the jiarticular question in releroni'e te retaining the study el the ancient laugu ies in the college curri culum, particularly the Creek, against which opposition seems new te be mainly directed. We can only suimimrize it row points en the subject, leaving their expansion te some future time. 1 We agree that mere attention should be paid te the study of iiiodern languages in our American colleges, especially Herman and Trench. If their study were begun at an earlier age, most of our students could ac quire n moderate knowledgo or them with out lnterlorleg at all with their otherstuilies. lul'.up.p.m re attention is paid te them, ami as trtv el fieui America te I'urope con tinues, the netes-ilty for thelr study will be mero uud mero lelt here. In i'ruukllu and Marshall college the study of (ierinaii is required during the w hole four years of the course The study of Trench should, in our judgment, be provided for also. :!. lint the study of modern languages can net supply the place et Latin and Oroek ler the puioeot liberal culture, fireelc and Reman civ illzitien Is the elixir el entrance In uiederu clvillttien, and tliat by the opera tion of the laws or history. Ifwowere writ ing lrem a I'hristian or theological standpoint wu should reler te llie fact that the civiliza tion ott.reice and Heme formed a pre para tleu ler I hrndiinity, and that by providential erdaiuuient, uud therefore this ciwIUiUen nnd culture leriu u necessary litik in the vv hole history of divine revelation. Hut it Is equally true from a secular standpoint, or considering history in general, that (ireclau ami iiemaii civilization lerined ii preparation for modern history. Liberal culture must fellow this same erder. All modern cultuie proves that tlie deer el entrance is through Creek and Latin. Tliose languages de net stand related te modern languages as these latter de towards each ethor, but rather as the trunk te the branches of a tree. We cannot go into details, or au analysis here or the particular sieeial advan tages the study of (i reek has ever the study or liny modern language. This might l done with ellect without much trouble It is a mistake te suppose that (Iroek or Latin are studied merely te obtain a knowledge of the literature they contain, ami that this conies te us new sulllcieutly in translations. I'venthatisa peer outcome ler any solid argument en this subject. It reminds one et the title or un oncvdepedla as "an ass' bridge te knowledgo," uud It might as well be urged that modern encyclopedias should take the place new of the study of hcleutilie lexi books, nut it is rather the inner lile which theRtudy or theso languages iutred in os the aludent te, and which tonus just the ihj cullar culture thelr study produces, tint gives them their speclal claim. Ah no ene can understand modern history without the study et anclent history, se the culture te be gained by the study or modern languages can be reached only by the deer of Orcek and Latin. Let these who aim net at liberal educa tion, but mere tochnle study and pursuits, seek llieir sort or education. It u right anil proper in Its place. Hut be long as liberal culture ls desired and pursued by ethers, let the coliege curriculum stand in Its Integrity. Our country has net jet developed education fully totlieenuipa-ssiiraunlversity. Harvard, us the eldest Institution lu the country, coin bines many elements of ene, ami it would Is) pleasant te see It lead oil In attaining that character In full. Hut if It docs se by re ducing the requirements of the college us a preinnitlen for university study, we rear it will only sh)U Its coliege without producing a iinlveislly.

IM.V1.TOS UAVW A I'll Trill lie In llie FIiik I'ectli llrnlus nl tlir Seuth Frem tliellirlstltn 1 iilnn The anueitiiceineiit of llie death or Mr. llayne, nt bis home in Columbia county, tla., en Tuesday or last week, has called forth a widespread expression el sorrow ami less. Living out ofthe world, there was something in the ish1's ivrxeuallty which excited general Interest In his life and work. It was elten noted th it his name Hppeared in the new sjwpers constantly, and almost always in connection with some description el his habits or surroundings. This constant appearance of his name In the public prints was net due te the skillful system of Mlfad vertlseuient which some writers of less note employ te exploit themselves and thelr works, but te a genuine and magnetic qiiul Itv in the man that made liiinn leistnf friends gfad te serve him by ii'isirtef his activities in all directions. New that he is gene, this interest will discover Itself in numberless accounts of the poet and Ills works through the length and breadth ofthe ceiiutrv. Mr. Ha no was pre-eminently a loot ; a man of genuine 1 rlc-al gilt, Irue te his x ova tion, and wlitill de"tcd te his art. In tills age of multiplied soelsl i tlv Ities, which Ire queutly drain and desvil the richest live, Mr llayne lived spirt, under the shadow of theHlItar pines finding his chief compan ionship In Hie two who steed nearest him, mid his clilef rcsource in books and the prac tice et his art. As lie was In u measure iso lated from men in his daily life, se was he lu large tutus ure withdrawn from the currents or contemporary thought and l.ishleu in lit erature, llowasnet out of sympathy with the intellectual movement of his time, but he was essentiall.v un individualistic jmet . lie sang net se much the last results et re search and the movement et mind as the an cient and Imperishable jesaud sorrows of tne heart He was net d'eaf te the voices which ree clear and penetrating lrem the world about him, but he always listened ler the voice within ; and tliat voice still speaks in the verse which he wrote, and which re mains, net only as the work of his life, but as a geuulne revelation ei himself. He did net belong in the ranks of these w hose elltce it is te interpret the age te Iteir , who pene trate and illuminate all knowledge with im agination, and lay bare lu sudden flashes or light the whole movement el things; it was his function te sHiuk out of the depths of his own individual life, ami te touch again with the pisMeu el his song the themes that are as old as time and us new as the breaking of the dawn after the night or the silent march of the stars into the heaveus which the sun has de-erttsl. The personal note is dominant lu all Mr. Iiaiie s eetry. Other men might sing for the age ; he slugs for himself. The deep and passionate tenderness el his xerseisa new element in a body et eetry which has largely rcllected the reserv e and letlceuce el the New England tern imminent. I eve and le-s, the auguisn ei rullug Iiek, the; j of returning Ideals, were nui ...K'-ls et mind Willi him, susceptible of impersonal, artistic treatment ; they vvere real ami vital exo exe riences, rising into expression as naturally, and often as uncoiisi-ieusly, as the i-eed rises into the stem ami flower. His thought was alvvas touched by the eetry or deep emo tion . it was sometimes obscure, but it was alvvas Intense, and en oct-asien pissienate, in expression. There was In him a deep, rich emotional lite, often rising into the re gieu el clear consciousness, but always reach ing down te the very sources el exiwrience, an unexplored realm et motive and Imagin ation as Imperfectly represented lu his verse as the fathomless mass of the ocean is repre sented by the waves that sing or mean upon its surf ice. It Is this deep.

His was uselilar voice, of peculiar, and at times Huetrating, quality. In character and personality, Mr. llayne was sharply denned bv the strong and dis tinctive qualities of Ins nature. He was sim ple, eirnest, chivalrh-, rrauk nud geuoreiis in the expression et his allectlens and antagon isms. Ne mm doubled w here he steed en any matter of opinion or in any er-enal re lation.
