PA , WEDNESDAY. MAY 10. 1882.
HAY. . ;
While the jolly hours brins: on
propitious XIv." '
I hear the foolslep of the frolic Xf ay,"
Tripping as on that holiday ...
When Love with berries of the bay
Was crowned to sing a roundelay.
Sing, ail ye choruses and choirs
That lift unto the love-tuned lyres .
The music of their magic wire, "
To Mar, to May a "roundelay !'
I hear tlie gentle murnjun of the Naiad,
And th far wUbpen of the Dryad,
In Echo's answers never tired,
With love und niirthiulness inspired.
To sing to May a roundelay.
Sing, spirits of (he .vasty air, . ..' ' r. ' '. ;
In dingles, dellaTW rocky Tair, "
In haunted hollows every where,
Sing to the May a roundelay ! . ' ' ,
i .- , . '
I hear the soft sea wares thai ebb and flow
Where ancient Triton's bom doth blow.
In blabts now loud, and long, and tow, '
Unto the hill, re-echoing slow,
To May a merry roundelay.
Sing, 0 ye spirits of the waves,
That sleep in hidden curves and caves,
Where Dori. with ber X'ereus laves.
And sings to May a roundelay '.
I hear mczzoiiean xepbyrs rise and fall.
Chanting to May their madrigal,
And fountains, rivers, brooks, and all
Kepeat their carols to the call
Of May to sing a roundelay,
Sing, spirits of the balmy breeze,
That lift to life the budding trees
Tl..-.t blow the blossoms o'er the leas.
To merry May a roundelay ! .
I hear in whispering woods and genial
groves
The measures of their happy lores.
And in the coverts of the coves
The niolodia of turtle doves.

that's it"
You are a heartless miscreant"
Ellersville cried out, half laughing,
half impatient, as he sprang to his
feet and tossed the remnant ot his
cirrar inU the fire, "and I shall not
waste any more words upon you
unless, indeed, you'll :o round to

"Where Fanny Clen has a stand ?

Fanny looked wonderingly up.

Sybil, inwardly hoping he would

"Do you think she would?" asked
Mr. Ellerslie, vacantly, anh then he

"How do you do, Mr. EUerslie?"
said Fanny, coloring and smiling

"Exactly so," said Martyn, and

Reading may be sa-i to be of two
kinds,; viz: personified reading and
simple reading. I am not aware
that a elocutionist" makes this di
vision if the subject, but it suits my
purpose kenoe l adopt it.
w . jm w x i. .
rersctisaa resume- u that in
which tii reader endeavors to adapt
nis tone, gestures, expression, etc.,
to the sentiment of the piece. . For
insUnoWif peno rs represented
as calling, the "pitch" is raised; if
he be represented as angry, in grief,
or terror, there is an attempt to
make, not only the voice, but the
features, convey those emotions as
they may respectively occur. Some
elocutionists call this "dramatic
reading." I prefer my own classifi
cation, simple reading is, as its
name implies, merely giving the lan
guage of the author, with due regard
to inflection", accent, etc., but with
out any aid from personification,
and with no intention of producing
a dramatic effect Some authors
' style this "pure reading;" one calls
n ood reading." I prefer the term
I have given, else I would not have
used it
Having thu secured a classifica
tion, it now becomes our duty to
determine which of these two kinds
of reading is to be taught in the
public schools, or whether both are
to be taught
In order to determine this, it is
only necessary for 03 to recognize
the fact that not one pupil out of
every hundred in the public schools
will depend upon t's elocutionary
powers to secure a livelihood, while
every single pupil expects to be able
to read in such a manner that he
can understand what he reads, and
be understood when he reads. This
alone determines the matter. Sim
ple reading is what is demanded in
the public schools. Time spent in
drilling your pupils until they can
go through the ranting performances
ot our trained public readers, is
wasted. One of the very best read
ers I have heard for a long time is a
little girl who was trained by her
parents at home. She possesses a
very good pronunciation, speaks
clearjy and distinctly in a voice
which many a high-toned young
damsel would think too loud for re
finement; but to my ear there is
more true refinement in speaking so
that one can be beard, than in in
conveniencing your listner by not
enabling turn to hear, and she has
no idea whatever of personification.
11- V l 9 1 ' I , 1
w era i ner wacner, sne never wouia
have.
As public school teachers, I hold
that ve have no business with the
ranting performances of public read
ers intended merely "to split the
ears of the groundlings."
The proper place to begin the
teaching of reading is before the
child knows its letters. "To learn
A, B, C, is felt by the young child to
be very irksome;" of course it is.
What idea is there in the term A to
a boy of six years? None. I won
der that the old "master" did not
strike the idea, the true idea, after
the experience I shall give.
"What is that?" pointing to the
letter A.
A harrow," answered the boy.
"What is that?" pointing to B.
"An ox-yoke," answered the ur
chin.
I did not hear any more. "I sav
the tale as 'twas told to me," but I
think it to be a very suggestive one.
Children may be taught to read
most of the lessons in any ordinary
first reader, and will not necessarily
know a single letter of the alphabet
by name. Teachers need drill in
this regard, but it can be done.
1 will illustrate my meaning, bhow
a child a "pen." He knows what it
is, of course. You may tell him a
story of the particular pen you hold
in your hand. Make a picture of
the pen on the blackboard. He will j
recognize it leu him there is an
other way of making a pen on the
board. Paint it for him in Roman
capitals thus:
PEN.
Make him know that those hiero
glyphics (to Mm) mean and are pen.
Put the word through ail possible
transformations, PNE, NEP, NPE,
EPN, ESP, until he at once recog
nizes the form PEN. Is it not plain
to any one that you have given that
child the knowledge of form, which
enables him to recognize these let
ters and a word in about the same
time that would have been requisite
to enable him to recognize one letter
by the old plan? Then you can
bring him down to the small letters
very easily, after he thoroughly
Knows tne laoman, iy prmtir g trie
i word for him thus:
pen.
Little drill will be requsite; so you
will have taught him six forms. But
while you have been teaching this
word you will, if you do your duty,
rather, perhaps, if you understand
your business, teach a number of
other words, A, the, writes, steel,
gold, quill, on, paper, with, ink,
black, red, blue, green and ad libi
tum. I have taken this word at ran
dom; any other will do as well as a
basis cat, dog, hen, etc. One very
fine set of "elementary reading
cl arts" are based on the word cat
The point in the matter is, you
roust not attempt to teach the names
of the alphabet until you have
taught the forms. Neither must you
expect any marvelous result from a
half day's teaching. "Rome was
not built in a day." Yon can only
attain to great results by toil, by con
stant and unremitting drill, drill,

like Banquos, "they stretch on till

Some teachers may deem the
method I give above "a3 a method
suitable for teaching spelling, bnt
not reading. I can only say it it i
suited in any degree for spelling, it
is much more adapted to reading;
try it and then decide. But not all
our pupils are of so primary a grade.
"For ih'rn sad all other blessings may
the Lord .make us truly thankful'
The point to be attained in pupils of
all higher grades than indicated
above, is to enable them to rec6gri
ize a word at sight There must be
no hesitation. If there is, you ob
tain a drawling utterance at once ri
diculous and absurd. No one must
stop to spel! a word. The name of
the word must spring from the
tongue as the picture of the word is
formed on the retina of the eye.
Hand any ordinary newspaper to a
commonly good reader and request
him to read a portion aloud. If you
notice carefully, mistakes and hesi
tancy will occur in those words only
with which he is wholly unacquaint
ed or not familiar. The object, then,
is to render the boy familiar with as
many words as possible. io give
him a good vocabulary hw shall
this be done? This is the important
query, i think it can best be done
by carclully reading the best pro
ductions of different authors. I know
no other means that will so surely
develop one's command of language.
In connection therewith the use of
writing materials must net be neg
lected. Whei the word is once
caught writing will rivet- it fast and
make it ours forever. In conjunc
tion with all this, I need scarcely
mention the constant use of the dic
tionary. An eminent author on ed
ucation, savs: "The very best teach
er I ever knew was a lady, who, in
passing to and fro among her pupils,
constantly carried an unabridged
dictionary under her arm, and used
it too." This looks laughable, does'nt
it? But do not forget that there is
more common sense than absurdity
there. The dictionary is in itself a
library; pupils in our schools do
not consult this monitor one-tenth
part go much as they should consult
it Bear in mind, this book is in
tended for use; use it then. Whilst
I am upon this subject of the die
tionary, I will say, and with sorrow,
too, 1 am satisfied Hut there are
many pupils in our schools who can
not determine the proper pronunci
ation of a word with the dict ionary
in their hands, lhej have never
been taught the "diacuti -al n.urks."
There are few of ur achtMsl iwier
which attempt to teach these marks;
in fact I am acquainted with but
one Beries that does so. Thi3 is not
as it should be. The unabridged
should be in every school, and every
pupil should be taught how to fi:d
any word in it, and how to determine
its proper pronunciation after find
ing it.
There are certain errors into which
the inexperienced teacher is likely
to fall, and I will notice a few of
them here. -
1. Permitting those members of a
class who are not reading to become
inattentive.
2. Permitting members to read in
smg-sorg tone.
6. Inurruptmg a reader in order
to make corrections of various kinds.
4. Permitting yourself to be inter
rupted by the school at large while
hearing a recitation.
o. Too much concert reading.
Concert work is too apt to be only a
cloak for the poorly prepared.
G. Not enough written work.
7. Permitting pupils to assume an
unnatural tone.
8. Failure to drill on the element
ary sounds to sufficient extent or en
tirely.
0. Failure to insist on distinct
enunciation of word elements.
10. Permitting pupils to "slur"
unknown words.
11. Failure to enforce attention to
committing definitions.
12. Permitting a lounging posture
in class.
13. Hurrying "through the book"
too rapidly, and thus failing to se
cure thoroughness.
I might extend the list, but I
think that a baker's dozen will suf
fice. Pray you avoid these and your
work will be better.
With this I close the subject of (
reading. My next chapter will be:

OUR WASHINGTON I.K1IKU.
From Our Special Ojrref pendent.
Washington, D. C, April 211.
The President is away at Fortrtss
Monroe witnessing the maneouveres
of some ships of war, and, cannot
practice at targets.' Congress is pro
ceeding with its usual humdrum
slowness towards the end of the si s
sion. The interest of the prew, and con
sequently of the country, is centered
in the investigation that is going on
before the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. This is the circus. Mr.
Blaine is the leading performer.
Congress is merely a side show now.
Yesterday 31 r. Ulame told .Mr.
Belmont who has been
conducting '
the examination, thathe had spoken i
untruthfully, and that he was not

thathe was a bully and a coward,
and that he would settle with him
in private for his insulting language.
To day the quarrel is the absorbing j
subject of conversation at the Capi

being somewhat divided on politi
cal lines, but not all Republicans in
Washington are Mr. Blaine's friends,
many of them taking sides with

A colored man s poke on the floor
of the Honse to-day for the first time
in three years. Mr. Lynch, the con
testant of General Ch aimer's scat, a
light mulatto of easy manners and

formerly occupied by General Gar

based upon fraudulent returns. He
read from a published interview
with Mr. Chalmers shortly after the
elevtion, to the effect that he want

Mississippi tdd would resort to any
means ehortf open violence to ac

in GeneraChalmer'a person, the
country was present-d with a hrin

that gentle iiaan had occupied a s;-L

yet no one knew better than him
self that he had never (which possi
bly one exception) received as many
as one-third of the votes cast at any
election at which he had been acan
didate. Old I'ncle Tom.
Fate had so ordained it; familiar
scenes of a life-time were destined
soon to vanish from view; the old
hoine-stead had been bargained for;
the plantation was no longer ours.
Others might walk beneath the state
ly shade trees, but they would never
know the pleasure, as we hod known
it, of watching the budding of the
leaves, or listening to the piping of
me uirus w us it was as me greet
ing of old friends, to them it might
be perhaps like the chance excite
ment of some new acquaintance.
And the dear old house, wherein we
had so much of joy, and of sorrow
too ah! who shall say which it was
that drew us closer to'it?
At last the morning of the day
for our departure came, and in the
excitement of final preparation our
hearts in a measure closed to all
about us. It was bustle and con
fusion very where; perhaps we may
have purposely allowed ourselves no
time to think. But all things end,
and with nothing more to keep my
self occupied indoors, I stepped out
on the broad gallery that surround
ed the dwelling. I "looked above at
the bright blue sky, glanced at the
deep running river before me, I
watched the gently swaying branches
of the trees so near me, and I said,
"Good bye," with almost child
like simplicity. I watched and list
ened till I fancied the sky clouded,
like the eye will sometimes grow
dim with unbidden tears, while in
the rustling of the leaves about me I
heard but one continuous good-bye.
How sweetly it was whispered. So
faint and yet so clear, as though the
. L . t T . . " .
ghosts of my own tender thoughts
were hovering near.
- Presently 1 heard footsteps, trem-
blinz footsteps as it were and the
oldest of the plantation hands, white
haired Uncle Tom, came close to the
gallery.
"Miss Mary," said the old man,
as he stopped and leaned on the
stout staff he carried, "I know'd you
when you was a wee bit of a baby
in your nurse's arms."
"Yes, Uncle Tom," I answered me
chanically. "And 1 has watched you many a
time when you was a tiny gal play
ing up and down dis here lane."
"Yes, Uncle Tom."
"And I has seed you grow np to
be what you is now, Mi33 Mary."
I said nothing.
"And is you gwine to leave de old
pl?ce forebber?"
What crowding fancies followed
this simple question. Forever! Had
I really thought of that before? I
took the old man kindly by the
hand, and though never a word
passed ray lips, 1 knew he felt I was
telling him good-bve. He turned to
go, and as he slowly shuffled away
1 heard him murmur
"Poor old Uncle Tom hain't got
much longer to live, but he'd feel a
heap sight easier if old Massa and
Missus would still be here to help
put him under the ground."
The old man had never quit the
place, even in the first days of free
dom, and now that strangers were
coming, he saw nothing in the fu
ture but misery for him. What a
child-like dependency many of the
old slaves still have upon their for
mer owners.
Towards evening the boat that
was to carry us off made the land
ing. We hurried aboard. The thir
ty or more hands on the plantation
had all gathered at the river side to
be with us to the last, and it was not
till tiie good hearted captain had
more than oncu rung Lis bell that
j the last hand shaking had been gone
i through with.
I stood on the guards till erery
! familiar point had faded away, aid
jthen I hurried into the cabin" and
into my room. I laid me down to
rest, and as I slowly fell asleep I
heard in the monotonous paddling
of the boat, but the ever-repeated
words. "Poor Uncle Tom, Old Untie
Tom." Cigarettw Smoking.
A story has been going the rounds
of the papers concerning a youth
who smoked forty cigarettes without
cessation, and nearly lost his life in
consequence. Whether the life so
recklessly Misused was worth pre-
serving, is an open question, it is
lt
a sad fact that the cizarette-consum-
ing youth is on the increase. It U
considered smart to be a cigarette-
consumed youth. It is deemed tLe
height of manliness to waste ambi
tion and destroy vizor with smoke
and such smoke. The cigarette-con-
umed youth thinks he is attractive
and supposes that the small parcel
of brains which has escaped the in
fluences of nicotine furnishes the
world s thought at least the su
perficial, unreal world in which he
moves. He thinks mother will pet
