Whatever th state undertakes to do III educational work, It must accomplish. It must Justify Its proceeding. If It levies luxes for educational purKss, It must Justify the exercises of the high power of tax- tlou, and It must show results com mensurate with outlay.

On entering the room wo found Prof, MoFarlane and the pupils engaged In a lively ciphering match. I found it pretty hard work to keep up with them us they performed the dlllerent oper ations of division, multiplication ami so forth.

At noon we enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. ltryant, and tho ride through the cool morning air give me au npKtltc to do Justice to it.

He Was rather of that preceding group of American writer nf whom Irving, Ticltiior nnd Present! were representative, mil of whom he alone survives. His earnestness und patience iu search of the truth are Indicated by the fact that a porltal of forty years Inter vened between the publication of tin first mid tho lust volumes of hi history, and for years prior to the npH'uruncc of the original volume he was assidu ously engaged In the collection of data, the verification of authorities nnd lu lulHirioiis research. It Is less the bill llaiicy, the plcturcsiiicucss, the nobh lllerary stylo of Mr. Hancroft's history than Its accuracy which Imparls to it its groat value. I'pward of thirty years after hu Is'gun his work he said that "the gratitude duo to the invisible, tho Impartial public, whoso service alone Is freedom, can be shown only by continuing the pursuit of truth so Inny. as there is light." It whs in tho spirit of this elevated sentiment (hat Man croft's "History of the I'nlted States" was Inspired mid cxctltcd, and It is its fidelity to truth which give it contem poraneous approval, mid which will give It enuiiriiig confidence and esteem. The historian's long life of usefulness and distinction began only u brief while after !ho const It ullonal birth of the- government of tlio republic; it witnessed the celebration of the con termini of Independence mid of the constitution. It was a life not fuller of years than of honors, and Its achieve ments have not only honored the statesman, the diplomat, the scholar and author, but they have honored his country us much or 'more." thonco may be faults from the actor's and reciter's points of view. Or the drama may be Impossible for a public audionce. One poem may touch too Intimately or penetratingly some domestic or lite sorrow, and an other muy jar on some feeling, pos sibly oven some prejudice, which the reciter may not sympathize with, but which he Is none tho less bound to re spect In his listeners. And. lastly, some tiresome Incongruity of appear ance or manner may bo the touchstone that decides his sentence against a poem, which, if it be a poem he par ticularly likes and desire to recite, is more than sufficiently annoying. A man, for instance, with a cherry face should not recite "Tho Dream of Eugono Arntu," "Tho Raven" or "II Ponaoroeo;" nor should a pale, spare man rod to a line of FaUlaff's or ex pect any groat success In a scone from "Pickwick." As a rule (a rule with exceptions, of course,) men should avoid all pieces written in the first person singular In which the speaker Is a woman. Shelley's "Cloud" is difficult for a man because of Its ideal personality, it is Impossible to re Ut the suspicion of ridiculousness when a man gravely says: " I am the daughisr ot ounh and sf water, And the nurillng of the iky." Matthew Arnold's "Forsaken Mer man" gonorally falls of its full effect for tho same reason. I once heard a man, remarkable tor a gift of plain ness, reolte (very well but very vain ly) Tennyson's "Dream of Fair Women." So an elderly gentleman declaiming Lewis Morris' "Psyche;" a lady, Tennyson's "Revenge," and a young man Christian Roesotll's "A Royal Princoss" wore all equally undermined In thoir efforts by direct physical lnuppropi-lntonoss. I romei or the occasion when 1 first gave in public an admirable pleco for recitation which Mrs. Harriet Chlld-I'cinborton sent mo, called "Prince." In tho lust versa comes the line "I H the little chap, curly and brown." I gave It with conviction, and the an swer was an audible sinllo. All such pathos and drama as hud boon wrought by the story wore dofontod by this candid assertion to which my appear ance gave the Ho direct. The ridlou lous Inference that time and remorse hud singularly chatigod mo turned the whole thing iuto fun.
