In like manner her younger sister, Philology, though long honored by scholani with a formal remembrance, has been practically a stranger Mltil mar.ls'7l in our own day. she has risen to a more appropriate and'deserved prom inence, and assumed a position more nearly in keeping with her import ance. It is true, however, that the present state of philological research is not a complete and perfected sci entific construction 4. its elements ; but it is rather a magnificent pr' pa ration for such a construction. The opportunity for making fresh acqui sitions is yet very great; and, more over, the discoverieS are too new and in a condition too much disconnect- od to render such a cothplets4 con struction practicable. What were the beginnings from which; what the ways, through what means her prep ent exaltation has been secured, con stitute a subject - of both pleasant, .and, at the same time, profitable study. The chief phases of the histo ry of Philology, are faiutly exhibited by the various senses of..the word it self at different times. In its old classical usage it expressed the love of literature . ; subsequently, a scholas tic exposition of language and mas tery over it; still later, a kind of ama- tear study of language as a pleasant gratification of curiosity; and, finally, a comparative analysis, an explora tion on scientific principles and a comprehension f its mechanism, touching its transformations, and, as well, its original element's. As we well know, the basis upon Which it is founded as a science, central, deter minative, essential foundation, is grammar. This the Grecian scholars at Alexandria, in Egypt, first con structed into a distinct, scientific form. A. certain writer rays : " With both synthetic and analytic thor- ouhness, they collected aud compact ed together the materials furnished them by their mother tnngue ' • and defined with'clearness the actual in- ward structure of their own language, as an independent` InecliMlism by-its- ME The cloisters of the middle ages have the high honor of watching with , scholarly eyes and jealous care over that firm and broad support of all the drapery of language, which has been likened to a "rich vine with its clusters of fruit and flowers upon this strong frame beneath it." It was here rightly valued .for its noble uses, and was carefully handed down from one age to another, for those who in better days could properly appreciate and employ it. It required the Re formation of the sitteenth century, howbver, to bring forth in its mighty and 'accumulated energy, the scholar ship of the world, concealed and con fined in the exclusiveness of ;these living vaults. We will not in this ar ticle trace further the important his tory of philology In general, as there will be occasion to refer to it agf,in, and, perhaps, to take it up at the point where we now drop it, the birth-period proper of the German language, and deal with it in connec tion with the literary productions •of Gerthan scholars, who most of any in the 'world have turned their attention to, and labored for its development. Possibly, however, the following quo tation from an eminent American Professoeof Philology, may not be inappropriate just here : "As infidels also have sought to make each one of , the . natural sciences in their turn, 1 when they first began to make any 1 clear n•terances of their own, bring ' in their testimony against the Scrip t tures ; so too in Philology they hop ed to find a victorious enemy to Christianity. But Chronology, Eth nography and Etymology have all been tortured in vain; to make them contradict the Mosaic account of the early history of man." The division of language by Com parative Philology, is into two great classes : the old or primary, and the new or secondary. We hive touch. ed in a previous Article upon most of the groups composing the former, as the Indian, Graeco-Latin, Lettic, Slavonic, Gothic and Celtic. The secondary are the more recent lan guages derived from theta, and usual ly adulterated with man admix tures.

By the ninth eentur - Y, A: D., most of the Scandinavian and German tribes were settled within their dominions as they now exist. There their dis tinct but related languages, literature and nationalities have been develop ed. The language of Iceland, con stituting the first division of the Scandinavian, or Norse languages, as they 'are sometimes called, is of a high antiquity. -• It bears also the designation of the old Norse dialect. It came originally from Norway, and its early characteristica have been wonderfully retained to .the present time. Its national epic is tbe Edda, written probably in the tenth centu ry. The` heroes of the Edda ;are heathen. The Swedish and Danish properly constitute the new Noise languages. Unlike 'the Icelandic, these have undiergone many changes. The Danish More - particularly has been greatly affected by contact with the German. Its old fall a sound 'in many words is changed to e: The Norwegian dialect has sunk into in significance. There are two remark , able characteristics in the Norse fami ly. It suffixes the definite article (hinn, bin, hit) to the substantive as if a part of it, as in soeinifin ' i the young limn; eignin, the possession. There is a pecul i a r passive flexion. Like the. Latin, an original reflexive pronoun is immediately appended to the verb without giving it a reflexive sense, but a passive one. In the Lat in, however, the fact is much more disguised. Thus brenni, " I burn ;" passive, brennist, "I . am burned " ; 'brennum, "' we"burn " ; brennumg, "we are burned." The singular and plural forms jor the other persons arethe same respectively as for the first, and are 'distinguished only by the different personal pronouns pre fixed to them. The Low-Permanie constitutes the third divisiotl of the Teutonic branch of the Clcithi& It embraces, Ist. The Anglo-Saxon and Modern English. 2d. Old 'and Modern Frisian. 3d. Modern Dutch. 4tl. The Old Sax on and the , Platt-Deutsch or LoW- German, strictly so cal!ed.. .Some divide the Lower from the Upper : . German dialects; by a line running from Aix-la-Chapelle to Berlin, • the former occupying the " low, sandy plain which lies between the German Ocean, Denmark and the Baltic Sea on the north, and th'e line above in dicated on the south-." They are also bounded on the Weitiby the French province of Flanders; and on the east by the Russian confines on the ,Bal tic. -Ist. Anglo-Saxon. This language in the place of its !nativity, bas, as such, disappeared. The Anglo-Sax ons went to England first in the mid dle of the fifth century. In a few Low-German dialects we find yet someerelics of their language on the continent. The predominant element of the English language, the element from which it derives its great strength, the element which, despite the large admixture of words deriv ed froth the aborigines of England of a Celtic character, and moreyet from its Roman and / Norman invaders and of a Latin origin, persists in holding its own and giving character and force, is 'the Anglo-Saxon element. The English is " ribbed *ith its oak en strength." The:original Britons, who were Celia, were at last repulsed by the Saxons or ',Teutons' (A. D. 450-780). These also finally yielded to the Normans (A. p. 1066). The language records and treasures up in its monuments these historic facts. Teutonic is its grammatical constitu tionl; teutonic 'are all its " inward chemical and vital agencies." At very small part of its vocabulary is Celtic; and England absorbed far less of the Latin, as a constituent element of its language, than any ' other Roman province, and yet we know that it absorbed much. Harrison, after mak ing an stimate, concludes that the proportion of A s taglo-Sazo'n terms in English I is about fifteen-twentieths of the entire bulk., This estimate is, perhaps, too high; for thentis a great tendency to 'regard all short and forcible words as of Saxon origin, though many are from the Latin; as examples: much (muitus), sex (secus), ay I (aio), very (verus), etc. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries oar vernacular became in every essential particular an independent language, and, for all the wants of human speech, where has it. ever found its superior? "In no language has a pyramid of literature so high, so broad, so deep, 13% wondrous, been erected, as in the English. No other,' nation has wrestled with Man, and' Truth,' and , Time, and everything, ' great4nd diffiatilt; and no language l accordingly is 'so full of all expen ences and utterances, human and Di vine. I Xt is more difficult than - any moderb, if, not also than any ancient language, to lbe thoroughly master ed." The 2d bran6h of the Low-German is the Frisian. The people whose vernacular it is, still live Fries land, and their language closely re sembles the English,' frott). its prox imity and dialectical similarity to the Anglo-Saxon. It s kindred also to the Old, Norm, and yet separate from it. Formerly it was spoken on the Elbe and along the northern coast of Germany. There is no literattze, and, as must be the case; those speak ing it are uneducated and rade. It consists now merely in local dialects. 3d. !The Modern Dutch. This lan-' page Is spoken in, Holland. Though connected with our own, we are very ignorant, as a people, of its grammar, vocabulary and literature. It is re garded by who have ,made it somewhat an object of study, as a , fine, rich language well ..worthy of study and research. The Flemish, though separate, is very closely re lated to it. Its native home is ~Belg ium. The Trench islast supersed ing it, and it will soon pass into the list of dead langtages as nobler ones have done before it. The Platt-Deuticli or Low-Ger i:man:Sometimes called the 'flat or vulgar German, , ,is 'spoken by those whose aucestoni Ispoke the Old SaiOn in northern Gdmany, in ‘ Holstein, in' Sleswick, and in Brunswick. Hence the two terms appear to be applied to , different forms or' stages TEOZ, ANT QUA/Map of the same dialect. Its most flour ishing period was just before the Be kormation.,4 The old Saxons chiefly remaining in their ancient localities, retained their low, soft dialect in great purity.. The .Anglo-Saxons, a branch of tta Old Saxons, wrote and matured their language in England. Hence it differs both frotn the Old Saxon and also from the Platt- Deutsch. It is a fact that all lan guages in low and plain countries, are very soft to the ear, are free from gutturals almost entirely, and full of vowels and liquids. Thus are the Low-German dialects distinguiihed from their mountainous sisters, the Hight erman dialects. • , This 'Closes the geographical, eth nological, and very limited etymo logical description of the Low Ger manic' languages. Their literature, of which there is but little that we care Specially to notice, will find a place in the discussion of the High- Germanic literature. If there were not the English language, as a grand child of the Low-Germanic, and. its literature - so rich and extensive, to give importance to this fertile branch of the old Gothic, the name' alone of Erasmns,oif Holland, who held high the banner of classical study, and whose reputation for extensive erudi tion is world wide, would be enough to commend it to the careful study and investigation of the scholars and lovers of philology in .every land. THE DILEMMA. ,Bead before the Bradford County Teachers' As sociationi and Published by Request. Who does slot like to see. a neat school-house, a fine yard lined with shade trees,. and children playing be neath them a Warm summer's day in the recess of school hours? There may be such persons; and this bringsbrings me to my story. Some five . or six years ago the sehool directors in the township where I reside, bought half an acre of land, built a good school house on one corner:of it, fenced it in on three sides, leaving it open to the road. ' I asked the district why they' did not set out some shade trees ?, They said they were'. going to; but time passed on, and nothing was done about it untilthe spring of 1869. I was. then 77 years old, and told the district that I would furnish the shade trees necessary on the ground if they would set them out and protect them; to this they agreed. I had some balm-of-gileads, but no locusts. So I went to an industrious acquaintance in another township, who cheerfully gave me'all the trees wanted, and assisted ine to dig them; and his son took his team and carri ed all the trees on the ground, and would take nothing for his trouble, although I offered to pay him. Here was public spirit. The district met, made a good substantial fence on the road and set out the trees on three Bides of the ground. Yarly the n,ext spring,lB7o, I went over -the groind and found , some trees had died; but more had been broken down by cattle. I went to ms friend who, had the locusts, and, although 75 years old, with thenlac rity of youth, helped to dig thetrees, ' and cheerfully gave. them. I backed them between two, and three miles, and set them out, I think, 8 or 9 trees. Last spring twent over the ground and found more trees gone than the year before. I went to my old friend, who helped dig, I think, eleven trees and gave there - , and said, "If these get killed I shall probably have mere to spare." I carried these on my shoulder, and a man helped me • to set them out; but this''season there have been more trees destroyed thin any before. , What shall I do ? • You who carry the keys.of knowledge!—and I hope with *much „more honor to yourselves and the immunity, than did the Lawyers of old. (Luke,- xi : 52). Please give your advice; my situation is disCouraging. One may back trees twenty years and set out, and not at tain the object aimed at. We read that " hope long deferred maketh the heart Sick;" "but when the de sire come.h it is a tree." Perhaps it may be so in this case. I suppose that one man's cattle did/ most if not all the damage that was done. Bat who wants a fuss in the neighborhood? Besides, I have heard, that we should forgive till seventy times seven, where there is professed repentance; but no repentance has appeared in this case; and I do not expect to live to exercise an annual forgiveness for that length of time. This subject involves an important principle. I think there is not the pains taken to beautify schoolgrounds that should be. Parents place their "children, as God did Jonah, under the glare of a hot sun; and while the' Lord did this to cure Jonah of his selfishness and folly, and proclaim His own goodness and mercy, .they do it to proclaim' their laziness and want of love for the culture, refine ment and happiness of their children.
