SKW FFBMCATIOWS/ Mopsa the Faiiy. By Jean Ingclow.—lt »• admitted that one of the hardest tasks of fio tion is the construction of a good fairy-tale; it is so difficult to force the mind into that atti tude of happy sujwrstition in'which the good , ■«ki fairy-stories were first 'propounded and ac cepted. Jean Ingelow, by dint of the poetr fancy, has created a little world of marvels that is ah admirable counterfeit of the oldj unap proachable one. She veritably seems to be lieve in her Mopsa, and carries with her an at auosphere of temporary credulity. The gentle yrild fancy of tire book is primitive .ind savory. We are invited to the country where the in habitants are regularly wound up by the Sover-, -eigtr, hke clocks and- watches; to the “better ■ : land” of horses; to the town with nobody , therc; and to see a wonderful boat that is obe dient to conrmand; then the people, from Mopsa who is transformed into ttos fairy queen, to tire knitting fairywho is transformed too, . and Jack with Iris admirable adventures, are ' all charmingly ideal, impossible and original. The criterion of the work is the depth of bliss into which it will plunge any lively, fanciful girl of ten years of age; Roberts Brothers, publishers. Sold by Turner Bros, & Co. It is not quite a grateful duty to dwell upon the increase of intemperance among us since tire war, but the hateful fact is obvious. The reform that they are trying in Massachusetts to \ thrust on the inhabitants, can, we think, be better preached through a timely warning ad dressed to the young. iA good temperance stoiy, with originality and flavor in it, is now particularly welcome—not too mild a one, for toe taste for liquor does not yield "to milk-and water. Mrs'. Julia McNair Wright has prepared a tale into which she lias. evidently poured her heart; it is called “John and the Demijohn,” and has traces of study from real life, though Hie arrangement is somewhat oriental, and marches by symmetrical stages past all the familiar lessons of excess. Each' chapter is beaded by a pointed pictorial hieroglyph, show ing successively John’s introduction to the Demijohn, and how John was not afraid of the Demijohn,.and John’s Friendship for the Demi john, and that John was as strong as the Demi john, and then how John waned before the Dem ijohn, and then jh.ow John got as much Demi john as lie could cany, and then how John got : as much Demijohn as he could stand with, and then how John went down under the Demi john, and finally, Where the Demijohn sent John. The concluding chapters convey a reminis cence of the sad end of Branwell Bronte, the unhappy brother of the authonoillJane Eyre,” The style is veiy piquant and spirited, and the story is calculated bo do much good, in a tonic and not wearisome way.

The useful lessonsare pointed, too, with a series of sufficiently clear and definite outline drawings representing the flowers of the successive seasons. We heartily commend this useful and agreeable child’s botany. Pub lished by M. W. Dodd, for sale by Claxton, Remsen and Hailelfinger. “Philip Brantley’s Life. Work,” from the same publisher and booksellers, is a tale hot precisely juvenile, but suitable for the young, animated with a distinct moral purpose, and written in the lifelike form of a dairy. Caroline' H. Dali writes for children a-true account of Baltimore and its aspect in 1807-9, the facts being slightly linked in fictitious settings. It is adapted to give young readers a clear enough view of the poor South in its mantle of old tattered aristocratic usages, show ing all at a disadvantage in the presence of the sharp, prosperous visitor from Boston. A great many notions about sectional differences and prejudices will he put into any child’s head who reads ‘Tatty Gray’s Journey;” and the heaven-sent conviction, if it happens to exist, that to be a Bostonian is to be something se lect, peculiar and precious, will assuredly not he disturbed. When the writer,, in her proper person, publishes the theft of her three-hun dred-years-old diamond ring by a Southern Senator’s daughter at a boarding-school in the District of Columbia, we feel that the intense antipathies bristling through the book are human, if not beautiful. The Bostonian may by down ber pen jvjth the relieving feeling tlnit she has done.her best, by inclining the youngest twigs accessible to her, to put off the day when the South and North shall mingle, in heart,.'purpose and sentiment.—The book is an> uncommonly pretty one, tinted,'and illus trated with a nice cunning drawing, which shows Fatty Gray all alone in a Southern landscape turning her round face upward, with an airof—“Sweet Boston hear my prayer!” It 'is published by Lee "& Shepard, and soldi by Claktpn, Remsen & Haffelfinger. . Carlcton’s new periodical, the Kaleidoscope, shows what that publisher, whose ambition does not always lie in the way of dandy paper and finished printing, can do when he likesin the way of elegant typography on pa per like white taffeta.

THE OTERUSD MONTHLY FOB AV. OUST...: The Ofertoid comes to us by -steam, only a week from the folder and stitcher in San Fran cisco, and a little in advance of the date printed on the cover. It is a vigorous, original, varied and informing number. Quite’in its proper vein is the following thoroughly Western - pic ture of a Colorado tempest; it seems almost too much to expect, the telling of the pioneer’s ex perience in the scholar’s language: A Cloutl-Horst iori the Colorado Desert. .Wo were riding along the. flat gravelly bar, congratulating ourselves on : the escape. from the loss of our animals in the quick sands, when a dull*: roaring sound, like the passing of a distant hurricane over the country, coming from the eastward, broke on .our ears: “WC must hurry, for the creek is going to rise—l saw a black cloud up toward the head of the creek at daylight, and 5 liave been fearing a freshet; all the ; morning,” said Thompson; and we urged our lioi-ses into a rapid trot to reach the crossing. Suddenly the roar increased to a volume like distant thunder, and the Mexican, throwing up his hand, with the exclamation, “Mother of God, protect us!” wheeled his horse for the mesa on the north side of the stream, and dashed away at full gallop. One glance up the stream was enough—l shall never forget the sight 1 Around the bend ahead, and perhaps half a mile distant, was coming a solid wall of water at least ten feet in height, filling the whole valley of. the Fork, and bearing every thing before it. We ran pur horses at their utmost speed for the mesa; and just, as we reached its f&bfr jhe water, driven out of the bed of the...creek by the pressure of the coining flood, ran around us. We readied the top of the mesa, some thirty feet in height, and looked down upon a scene which beggars tongue and pen. The valley of the Fork alopg which we had ridden but a moment before dry-shod, was filled with a roaring flood from bank to bank. The purling stream, which a man could ford on foot ten minutes before, was now fully a thou sand yards in width, from ten to thirty feet in depth, and with a current with which no race horse could compete for speed. The whole face of the flood was covered with drift-wood; great cotton-woods were lifted out of the earth and borne away like straws; nothing could stand before the tremendous rush of waters. The air was filled witli the rank odor of alkali and fresh earth carried down by the raging waters; and the surface of the flood was cov ered with a cream-like foam, showing how vio lent had been the action of the • torrent above. Near where we reached the mesa, a party of Mexicans were at work cultivating a small ranch, and as the flood approached them, at tempted to run for the heights. A minute later, we saw them swimming for their lives in the edge of the torrent, while their house was going down the Fork bodily with the speed of a high-pressure steamboat. Their crops were already washed away, and they were reduced to beggary, even before they touched-the shore and were assured of their lives. The deafening roar of the surging waters made it almost im possible for us to make ourselves heard by each other, even when a few feet apart; and words were idle even if they could be heard. We lay an hour in silence on the mesa, gazing at the wild waste of Waters before us, and then turned our horses’ heads for the black liills to the northward, knowing full well that we could not cross the flood with a steamboat, if we had one, and that we must seek a new road to the place we had left in the morning. Hour after hour we toiled on, dragging our almost worn out horses up and down shelving hill-sides, and over loose, jagged rocks, which cut our boots to pieces and tore the shoes from the feet of the animals; and, just as night set in, we arrived once more at Aubrey, utterly exhausted with our fruitless day’s labor. All that long, dreary night we lay in our blankets in our friend’s hospitable cabin, and listened to tbe roar of the waters and the splash ing of trees in the flood, as the banks on the opposite side of the stream were undermined and went crashing down,’to be swallowed up in the hungry torrent. - Next morning we found that the flood, pouring into the Colorado from Williams Fork, had set back the waters of the river like a dam, and raised it bankful for trifles to the northward. That day the Fork fell rapidly, and next morning we determined to once more attempt to get up to the mine. Our horses had just been saddled . and made ready for the trip, when a man came down from a ranch about a mile distant, in breathless haste, to tell us that the hostile Apaches, or Huala pais, had made a raid upon him and ran off his entire stock of horses and mules, seven or eight in number, toward the mountains. Ira taba, the old desert giant, head chieftain of the Mojaves, had arrived in the evening with Jose, one of his young captains, and five young war riors, from La Paz, hound for Fort Mojave, where half liis tribe reside. The old fellow at once ran up to the ranch, and, soon re turned to tell us that there were blit, five In dians in the band which had made the raid; and if we would make all possible haste we might overtake them before they were joined by another party, clean them out, recover, the plunder, and ornament the pommels of our saddles with very elegant top-knots as souve nirs of a pleasure trip in Arizona. I have not space to tell the story of the hastily gathered Falstaffian army, which an hour later rode forth into the unexplored desert mountains' to the northeast; of the long day’s toil in the burning heat, the chase at night-fall, the ambuscade which we escaped, the bitter cold which nipped us as we lay hid all nigiit in the chapparal,the pursuit next day, and the temporary escape of the Hiiala pais with their plunder, the exasperation of Jrataba, who with his young braves had tracked the flying enemy like so many bloodhounds on the scent —and on foot kept up witli onrhorses, which were going at a swinging trot, or even at a gallop; of the second • aiul third, expedi tions, the burning of the Huaiapai villages; and the blpody reprisals on either side which followed in quick succession. Suflice it, that just a week alter we made oiu- first attempt to go up the creek twelve miles, we emerged from the desert on the northern bank of that delec table stream, opposite, the mining camp, and were met beneath the wide-spreading alamos by an old Mexican, in ragged trowsers and wide, slouched sombrero, whose odd rig and huge American beard’ had earned for him the sobfiquet of Robinson Crusoe. Angel—such was his patronymic—received us with. out stretched arms, and welcomed us to the camp. He had been out on a little paseo that day—it was Sunday, and he was not obliged, to work at the mine—-hut had not been very luclcy. it ■ is true that lie had ran. across two Apaclie- Mojaves, a buck and a squaw, in a canon in the hills, and got them both with one shot from his dilapidated old musket; but ho had seen no other game, and was a little discour aged. It was not a good day for sport!

These are some of the well attested effects of the “cloud-burst” on the desert, and of such are toe “moving adventures by flood and field” which toe’ frayeler encounters on toe ’American southwestern frontier. ..... From an elaborate paper on “Southwestern Slang,” we get toe following: We have all heard Some of our exquisite American names, such as Last Chance, Sorrel Horse, Righteous " Ridgej Scratch Gravel, Fincjitown, Marrow;Bones, etc.; but now read these from Texas : Lick Skillet, Buck Snort, Nip and Tuck, ; Jiintowri, Rake Pocket, Hog Eye, Fair Play, Seven League, Steal Easy, Possom Trot, Flat Heel, Frog Level, Short Pone, Gourd Neck, Shake Rag, Poverty Slant, Black Ankle, Jim Ned. From toe same article we get a wonderful amount of wisdom on the general subject of Southern nomenclature: ' THK “.SUNNY” IMAOINATION. Among names of revolvers I remember the following: Meat in the Potj Blue Lightning, Peacemaker, Mr. Speaker, Black-eyed Susan, Pill-box, My Unconverted Friend. The war originated a great many new phrases in the imaginative South—far more,if they were all recorded, than in the North. “Cousin Sal” is pietty generally lamented throughout the South as the deceased and only daughter of our , very worthy and revered “Uncle Sam”—the same having been begotten by him in the bonds ■of lawful wedlock with “Aunty Extension.” . You may hear the word “Confederate” singu larly used. For instance, when a Texan wishes to express the strongest possible ap proval of some sentiirient, he.will exclaim, “You’re mighty Confederate!” The Rebels bad tlieir “bluebacks”fpr mdney; but in Texas, where they have always clung tenaciously to their silver, they made slo\v progress,and were received with much reluctance. SlOO bills were then; called “Williams,”,and $5O bills “Blue'Williams.” Nevertheless, a Texan once told me, with a fierce glitter of satisfaction in his eye,that “he had $lOO,OOO in ‘Williams’ laid up against that day,which was certain to come, when he could exchange it, dollar with dollar, for greenbacks.” The poor fellow ! I should much prefer a draft for ten cents on the Old Lady of California street. Neither did green backs succeed well at first,in invading the State. In March, 1808,they had gotten no farther west than Marshall, and everywhere west of that, when a man named a price, he meant “spizer inctums” (corrupted from specie). The fierce military spirit of the South is shown in'the scorn and contempt which they heaped on-men who refused to go out to battle. In Texas they were called, with a play on the word wwiien (in the South often pronounced iceanen)yhvi\ a hint at their former gasconade as to. what “we” could do—“we-men.” Some boasted that one Southerner could “whale” ten Yankees. Lieutenant J. W. Boothe, of the Seventh Texas Battalion, I am told, first applied to this sort the phrase “ten-strikers,” which be came immensely popular in that State. In the eis-MisSissippi States they were generally dubbed “bomb-proofs.” . A story is related of a brigade of North Carolinians, who, in one of the great battles, (Chancellorsville, if I remember correctly), failed to bold a certain hill, and were laughed at by the Mississippians for having forgotten to tar toeir lieels that morning- Hence originated their cant name, “Tar-heels.” For a very obvious reason, the South Carolinians are called “Rice-birds. Wherever in- the South, you see a man take boiled rice on his plate and eat it heartily without condiments, you may know he is a South Carolinian as infallibly as you may that a man is plebeian-bred when he picks his teeth in the horse- car without holding his hand be fore his mouth. On th e other hand, when you sec a man, at toe traditional hour sacred in New England to mince-pie, get a cold, boiled sweet potato a little smaller than his calf,quarter it lengthwise, take a quarter in one hand, and a piece of cane-brake cheese in the other, and eat them by the light of a pine fire, you may be certain be is a North Carolinian. A Georgian is popularly known in the South as a “Gouber-grabbier” [“gouber” for gopher. pea-nut—a nut which is exceedingly abundant iiTthatState]; ~ • For no particular reason that I am aware of, a Virginianjs styled a .. The cant designation in the rebel army for a man of Arkansas was “Josh.” This is said to have originated in a jocular attempt to compare Arkansas, Texas, and part of Louisiana to the two tribes and a half who had their possessions beyond Jordan, but went over- with Joshua to assist the remaining tribes. Just before the battle of Murfreesboro’ (the story hath it) the Tennesseeans, seeing a regiment from Arkan sas approach, cried out, a little confused in their Biblical recollections: “HCre come the rihes of Joshua, to fight with their brethren!” For the Texan soubriquet “Chub” I know of no explanation, unless it he found in the size of the Eastern Texans. It is related of the Fifteenth Texas Infantry, for instance, that at the mustering-in no member was of a lighter weight than a hundred and eighty pounds,while a large number made the scale-beam kick at two hundred. On account of the great number of gophers in that State, and the former use of their skins for money, aFloridian is called a “Gopher.” This inexhaustible fertility of imagination was occasionally useful to the Hebei soldiers,in enabling them to eke .out and' variegate their lean commissary. A hog clandestinely killed outside of camp and smuggled in under cover ' of darkness, was called a “slow bear.” Despite their strategy they were often detected, but then, so lax was Confederate discipline, they generally escaped by inviting in their officers to dine oil' the “bear.” “Mud-lark” signified the same thing. In an attempt to vary their everlasting pork and corn-bread,when thelatter waxed old, they crumbled it fine anil fried it in grease—a mess which they called “cush.” Many a rebel cavalryman has told me that he had often lice'ivcd in the morn ing, as his day’s ration, an ear of com on the cob, and bad sometimes gone forty-eight hours without .a “snook’ of anything. When he munched a piece of crust, or any unmoistened provisions, as he sat in-.liis; saddle, he was eat : ing liis “dry Mike.” Southern smoke-cured pork, in distinction from the Northern salted article, in allusion to the famous negro song, was termed “Oid : Ned,” from its sable appearance. North Caro linians call skim-milk “blue John.” This is en tirely gratuitous, and therefore an insult to old mulley, in a land where cream rises as thin as the oil on boarding-house soup. It shows, however, the fondness which the South erners have for good milk and its corollaries. In no other place hi the Union can you find the genuine Irish bonny-clabber, sung by Dean Swift: that is, sour, thick buttermilk. Let it get old, and rich, and a little turned, then take ' selected, red sweet potatoes, and steam them moist and |treacle-like,and you have the bestead ing in thirty-seven. States. My memory waters in the mou’th while I write thereof. In most of the Atlantic Southern States there is a dish to be found about* hog-slaughtering time, named “midilings.” •TEXAS .NAMES, '• It consists of swine’s iicsb, 'bread, other-matters of, nourishment,- ‘and, .qetisofimg, 5 clioppedifiiib. apd then squirte'd; out Into liixks : sana§frg|n.

The word is So common that it is singular it lias hot found its way into the dictionaries. “Pinetop” is a kind, of mean turpentine whisky of North .Carolina. > As for diseaSes, “Bronze John” is pretty well. known fOr-yellow fever. It is amusing to, hear. the people of the South speak in such a matter of-fact way of fever and ague as their regular occupation: “Jones, are you chilling it much this winter?” “Well, (chatter—cliatter) Smith, . (shiver-r-chatter) right: (chatter—shiver — chatter) smart.” Of course, this only happens in “chilly” countries.’ Then in Texas they have the “higulcion fiipS,” which is what the French would call a sort of maiadie sans maiadie ," about equivalent, perhaps, to our “conniption fits,” which the ladies can best define. Of terms used by agriculturists there are several not recorded. Planters everywhere.'in the South say they have a good “ stand,” when the corn or cotton plants come up thick enough in the rows to insure ah ordinary harvest; and in that case, if the cotton or other worms do not molest them, they will “make” a good crop. Texas is notable for the number of Its soils. In Montgomery county there is what they call a “ peach-bud.” Then there is the “chocolate’* prairie,and the - “mulatto,’’and the flmezquite” (producing chief ly mezquite, both bush and grass) and the “hum mock,” (yielding principally' small honey locusts) and the “wire-grass.” A “tank” in Texas is a pond of fresh water, and a“swag” i,s a kind of hollow which seems to be peculiar to its prairies—narrow, shallow,and marshy and rnsli-grown at the bottom. When a Texan driver wishes to mend any part of his wagon underneath, he often has to “cut” it, i. c., throw the fore wheels out of alignment with the others. . But the Rawhide State particidarly excels in . that fusty savagery of idioms peculiar to the swaggering drawcausirs of the Southwest. When two roughs'fall to quarreling about any matter, one of them usually administers to the other some species of a “snifter,” or, more commonly, “ciuTies him down with a six shooter.” When he wishes to express a pecu liarly fierce and inexorable resolve, he avows liis dreadful purpose to be “essentiallyjumped up” before he wfil permit such or such a thing; or “dog my eats if you shall,” or “dad-snatched if you can.” When one of the fellows is a “gyascut-us,” and the other is a “kiamuck,” you may look for some rare sport. You need apprehend nothing dreadful, for boobies seldom “ John Brown” each other. Neither of them will, like De Quincy’s unfortunate'Aroar, fail into an “al mighty fix,” though he may, get into a “dog tined. fixment;” or lie may, in a very extreme case, become seriously “goluragumptiated.” (Since this word means befooled gr obfuscated, it is possible that it is compounded of gull and gumption). “To have the drop on,” i. e., to have the advantage of,.appears to refer to a cowardly state of things. The figure presented is that of one man prostrate'udder another, who is about to drop some jagged piece of stone or wood, which may infringe upon and bruise his eyes. If there be one thing more than another ' which disgusted a Northern man in the South, it is the fondness which they had for specula ting as to the fate of Booth. In certain cir cles in Texas a young rough had no more cer tain means of raising a laugh than to ejaculate, at every absurdest cranny of the conversation, a travesty of his famous"(reputed) exclamation —sic semper tyrannic —in this shape, “Six ser pents and a tarantula.” When a Texan goes forth on a sparking er rand, he does not go to pay his devoirs to his Amaryllis, his Lalage, his Dulcinea, or other such antiquated ■ object of affection, but (em ploying a word worthy of a place in the pa&ilaly of mankind) his “jimpsecute.” She, on the other hand, is said to receive attention . from her “juicy-spicy.” I knew a man in Texas once who had no inore sense than to have a “jimpsecute,” and this was all her name: Dio nysia Boadicea Jetfalinda Jacobina Christiana Buckiana Caledonia Susannah Emily Wyatt Wilkinson Moore Wynne! A Texan never has a great quantity of any thing, but he of it, or “oodles,” or “dead oodles,” or “scadoodles,” or “swads.” In Texas you never have things in your house,-or baggage-on - your journey, but “ trieks.” • ' . “ Moke,” a negro (seemingly derived from Icelandic mdckvi, darkness) is a word chiefly in use among the regulars stationed in Texas and iij the Territories. The word also has Cymric affinities, and was probably brought into cur-" rency by Welsh recruits, who have occasionally drifted into the army from New York city. “ Fide on the jeck,” for confident on the sub ject, is a singular instance of (the barbarous corruptions of the Southwest. Then there is, another phrase, “human scabs,” for money; as, “I’d like to strike some r body that I could blister, and raise some hu man scabs.” There is more pliilosophy thau poetry in that phrase, “human scabs.” “Ranee sqiftle” is a strange combination of words to express a mean and dastardly piece of malignity. I ha,vc never heard it outside of Georgia. ' In Texas “scringe” means to flinch. Soon is used adjcctively all over the South ;‘ as, “If I get a soon start in the morning, I’ll be thar before sunup.” During the war we all heard enough of “we uns” and “you-uns,” but “you-alls” was to me something fresh. From “ Chinese Occult Science?’ one of the Overland’s admirable essays on tin; oriental population of California, we extract the follow ing account of a Chinese oracle. It is the last extract we can make room for, from a number very, attractive to the scissors: KOUTL/, MSI JdNti Near the corner of Jackson and Dupont streets may be seen a smallish, cunning-looking man, seated on a stool or chair, with a little table before him. On the table is a can con taining a few slips of wood, and on each slip is inscribed a Chinese character and a few cabal istic words; also, in a flat dish are little rolls of red paper, on the inner- side of whie\, are similar characters or piarks. He has writing materials; and there are cards lying on the table, which, being translated, read as follows: Card No. 1. “ Good and evil fortune have their exact [or prescribed] limits.” The re verse side reads: “ Calamities and blessings do not come by mistake.” No. 2. “Examining With deep penetration, we understand the successes of 'disasters of the future days.”, “ Pointing out with perspicuity the period when troubles .and annoyances of long standing will be turned to gladness and prosperity.” .

This fortune-telling doctor once showed us, for inspection, a written agreement between himself and a female patient, in which, in tlie event, of his curing her of a certain malady within a certain specified time, she obligates herself to.pay him the sum of filly dollars. The “eight diagrams” are principally depended on by this professor in reveal ing future events and in bringing to light things which are hidden from other mor tals. These original eight diagrams, by combi nations, are multiplied to sixty-four; and one , is written on the wooden slip, and another upon the roll of red paper. The person who lias come to consultabout bis fortune having drawn out one'or more of each of these slips, the diviner takes them, separates the diagrams, re arranges and recombines them, aud,.together with other signs, and by the use of tlie arts which he has studied,deduces an answer,which, while it may contain some distant allusion to the matter inquired about, is suiliciently ob scure and mysterious to be received with con fidence by ignorant and superstitious people. ' These diagrams are said to have been in vented by Fids' ill, tlie founder 6f the Chinese monarchy, to whom they were sug gested by his seeing one of them upon the back of an animal which came toward him once as lie was walking .upon'the bank of a river. That animal is reported to have bad the head of a dragon, and tlm body of a horse. The same diagrams were afterward modified by one Mini Wofig, of the Chau dynasty. “ The diagrams are merely trinities of straight lines, upon which has been foimded a system of ethics, deduced by giving names to each diagram, and then associating the meanings of these names, according to the changes which can be rung upon tlie. sixty-four combinations.” • [See “Middle Kingdom.”] The “Yik King,” one of the Five Classics, is called also tlie Book of Changes, and is held in'great veneration for its antiquity and its occult wisdom, which is sup posed to be contained in its mystic lines, viz.: in these eight diagrams, which form the basis of tlie philosophy and cosmogony taught by Fuk Ili. As may be supposed, therefore, this book, the Yik King, Is much studied by divi ners, astrologers, and all who affect an acquaint ance with the occultsciences. But it is a book about which ordinary scholars profess to know but little, and concerning which Con fucius himself said; “If some years were added to my' life, fifty.might be devoted to studying the Yik [the Yik King,] and then I might come to he without great faults.” The commentary on this passage reads thus: “By studying the Yik one comes to under stand the doctrine of thelucky and the unlucky, of decreasing and increasing, of gain ing ahd losing, of advancing and re tiring, of abiding' and perishing, of )jring and dying: therefore, having learned all these principles, one need have but few faults. Because the sages have seen that the Yik was deep and unfathomable, therefore Confucius said, that in teaChiiig men lie would cause them to know that by no means might they omit the study of the Yik; and yet he would not have them suppose that it could lie easily learned.” EDUCATION THE EDGEHILL SCHOOL.
