A sliort time ugo the first piize ut the Pails Consul v.tlory ol Music was won bv n gill named Rente, who wus but 10 jeais old, and was so small thnt the pedals of the piano had to be i.ili-ed to enable her to lendi them. One of the chief combatants in the famous ancient and model n learning controversy which inped about two centuries ago lu nnpland was William AVolton, D. D. who had been piaduat ed at Cumbildpe at the ape ot 1", and atteiwaid dlstinpulshed himself by his attainments In Latin. Greek, and other UilPiit.il lanpttapes. At IS Alex ander Hamilton was tound competent to take chaipe of a nieicantile estab lishment; at IS he wrote papeis which weie attiibuted to seseial deadinp men of the nation; at i0 he was the confl 'dant of WushlnplMii. and at l!1 he had niasteied the intilc.ite subject of nu ance.

To li.ne nequhed een a smatteiinp of all these tonpueh would have been exlu am dlnaiy enough; but that his knowledge was veiy much moie than a smatteiinp has been shown. She shook her head. "If I eer be came a Denioeial," she pae her de ilsluu, "I'd neer let anone know It." He imt ills band over his mustache. "Well, ou needn't let them know It Youi foulil be, one In pn ale Just be tween iiuisehes." She bilphtened. A buist of dieeis swept up the stieet, innied past theli windows in n bundled tin oats, and sank in a lionise echo down the line of utaich. "It would be a little seciet between us." he continued. "I like .seeiets like that," she le llectcd, hnppll. "I wish they didn't nil know about our eiiKapemenl, It was nicer befoie an one pues&ed " "Oh, pshaw," be snld, "they bad to find out some day." "I suppose," she siplied. He. watched her, blluklup his ejes In a way he had, suppiessinp the vu ui.tul twinkle of a deslie to smile. "Still," he said at last, "no one need eer Unci out about this other." She t iow lied oer It. "Xo-o," she apieed, doubUully. She did not take any ripiu clelipht In the plan; thnt was evident.
