I joined mv feeble, trembling voice with

I tell you, wife, it did me good to sing that

SKETCH OF DS. S. S. HAEEIS, THE
SEW EPISCOPAL BISHOP.
The Vacant Methodist Bishopric---
Chart-la Property la Brorgl*, etc.
Rev. Samuel S. Harris, rector of St.
Janies Episcopal church of Chicago,
lias been elected Bishop of the Dio
cese of Central Western Illinois. He
is well known in Georgia, having
served churches In Savannah and
Columbus. His many friends in this
State will be interested in the follow
ing sketch of his life:
f The Rev. Samuel Smith Harris, D.
D., rector of St. James church in Chi
cago,and now Bishop-elect of Quincy,
was born in 1841, in Autauga county,
Alabama, where his father was a
prosperous farmer. Early discerning
the promise of his son, he gave him
whatever advantage of mental disci
pline wealth could bestow. At the
age of 12 the son was ready to enter
the sophomore class of any of our col
leges, but was required to wait two
years because of ms extreme youth.
After much deliberation between
Harvard and the University of Ala
bama, the latter was chosen because
at that time its course of study was
more thorough, and the standard of
perfection higher, than in the col
leges of the North and East. He
entered the university.in 1856, joining
the sophomore class, *and graduated
- with distinction in 1859, becoming,
Srrgmluation,' a member of the Ala
bama Alpha of the Phi Beta Kappa,
whose doors were only opened to the
more distinguished scholars of the
university. He was the youngest
graduate of the college, his age being
seventeen years and nine months.
The young graduate entered at once
upon the study of law at the law
school of Chancellor Keys in Mont
gomery, and by a special act of the
Legislature was
AMITTED TO THE BAR
in I860. He commenced the practice
of Ills profession with gratifying suc
cors at Montgomery, but, upon the
breaking out ofthewar, he joined the
Confederate army and remained in
its sendee doing chiefly staff duty un
til the war ended.
In 1801, the youtliTtiT-soldier mar
ried Miss Marj’ Pickett, the daughter
of the late Colonel Albert J, Pickett,
a wealthy planter, and Hell known
literateur of Montgomery. Seven
children have been born to them, of
whom five, a daughter and four sons,
are living, and two have entered into
rest. So grows in paradise his store.
The war ended, Mr. Harris, after a
breaf resume of liis practice in Mont
gomery. removed to New York city,
where he at once took a high posi
tion, and from the first year his
professional income could not have
4^beer, less than 812,000. He practiced
mainly in the Supreme Court, and it
was his singular felicity to
WIN EVERY C ASE
before that august tribunal on which
he was engaged. It was while thus
employed at the bar, with wealth and
fame iu near prospect, that without
conference with any one, and yield
ing to what had been an early im
pulse, he determined to enter the min
istry of the church. He pushed his
studies in New York, and Bishop
Potter wished him to become the
head of a mission of young men in
that city, but he preferred to go to his
old home in Alabama, where there
was at that time great destitution.
He was ordained deacon February 10,
Htfi
St. John’s church in Montgomery,
and attracted large congregations. At
the close of bis deaconate he succeeded
Rev. John Fulton, D. D., and became
rector of Trinity church, Columbus,
Ga., a parish which has always been
distinguished for its wealth, intelli
gence and refinement, and his success
was beyond all the hopes which had
been entertained of him. Dr. Fulton
was a man of great eloquence, learn
ing and power, and it was no small

^ uld „^° 1)Ulb,v flu Place. In
1870, Bishop AVilmer, of Alabama,
was solicitous that Mr. Harris should
accept the chaplaincy of the Univer
sity of the South, but lie declined. In
1871 lie became the
RECTOR OF TRINITY CHURCH, NEW
ORLEANS,
the largest parish in the 8
which has been modqjLstfft
successive services ofthe lamented
late Bishop Polk, and the eloquent
Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia, and
during his administration of the par
ish the front of the church was re
built. Mr. Harris’s position in Lou
isiana was such as might have been
expected from his merits. He was a
member of the standing committee,
and represented the diocese in the
general convention, meanwhile, in
1873, still further improving himself
by « season of travel in Europe,
IS THE GEKRRAL -CONVENTION OF
1874,
Mr. Harris spoke but once, but the
point be made was the point on which
tubbed the solution ofthe ritual diffi-
cutties so warmly debated in that
body. The earns year he received
U the iScuth, and
Iqjustfiofis by the
orthe lan
the honorary degree of doctor in di-
vinty, from the venerable William
and Mary’s College in Virginia, and
declined a call to St. Paul’s church,
Cincinnati. Nearly at the same time
he was called to the rectorship of
Christ church, Savannah, the old
historic church of Georgia, and a
deputation from the parish visited
New' Orleans, but Dr. Harris resisted
their appeals. He was reserved for
the metropolis of the Northw'est, and
accepted, m 1875, a call to
THE SPLENDID PARISH OF ST. JAMES,
Chicago, the mother of churches. It
was a field to satisfy any man’s ambi
tion. How he has ministered it,
facts will attest. In two years its
income has been brought up from
$6,000 to $18,000, and the annual de
ficit to which they were so long accus
tomed, has been nearly wiped away.
The Sunday school, with its mission,
numbered betw’een eight hundred
and nine hundred ac tual attendants.
The week day congregations last lent
not unfrequently numbered near five
hundred, and were largely composed
of men. The spring confirmation
was the largest in the city, and among
those confirmed were men who repre
sent Chicago’s intelligence and who
had sat on many generations of min
isters in old St. James and the new'.
Such are some of the prominent
points in the life of Dr. Harris, and
no one who reads this will be sur
prised that he is the Bishop-elect of
Quincy.
IN PERSONAL APPEARANCE
Dr. Harris is eminently attractive,
noble, and dignified, but gentle ami
accessible. In manners and in nature
he is a thoroughbred gentleman, the
mirror of courtesy, and has a heart
full of love and genial sympathy for
all, for rich and poor, high and low*.
A good scholar, extensively read in
theology, he is yet no bookworm, but
emphatically a man of affairs, with
the practical genius of a lawyer, and
the administrative capacities, which
might have made him a statesman.
As a speaker he is clear as light, co
gent in argument, eloquent in dic
tion, and sustained in thought, with
a manner impressed by its earnest
ness, a good voice, and a gesture
graceful but not excessive.
AS A CHURCHMAN
Dr. Harris will rank with the high
conservative school, without any
sympathy with the extreme element
in the church.
LATIX FOE E ABIES.
What Good la There In file Study?—
What Kind of Young; Hen Go Fastest
up the Ladder of Success.
The question of opening the Latin
schools to ladies has come up for deci
sion in Boston and other towns, and
among the features of the discussion
we note some radical attacks on the
long venerated classics. Amos Noyes,
Esq., a member of the bar, declares
that “in Essex county, classical edu
cation has ruined more boys than any
one thing else, and to extend it to
girls is simply to widen its calamities
and emasculating influence.” His
points^iven in the Springfield Re
publican, are:—
1. There are twenty times as many
persons instructed in Latin and
Greek as can ever use these lauguages.
Our system gluts and over supplies
the market, so that 19 out of every 20
are financially worse off than if they
had not been lured by the cheapness
and great prizes which they fancy
only within the reach of those w'ho
know Greek.
2. Free classical education is a fail
ure as a matter of culture. To offer
it as is now done to all, without refe
rence to their taste or future pros
pects, is the same as to throw' pearls
before swine. In Newburyport, Sa
lem, Haverhill, etc., there'are from
60 to 100 boys and girls studying
Latin, and half that number studying
Greek. But of all these not more
than two or three persist until the
end. A class of 50 bepins, but dwin
dles to five or six. The remaining 85
per cent, have abandoned forever the
‘‘humanities” over which they have
lost the best part of two or three years.
Lost, I say, because as a matter of
culture it would have been infinitely
better to have expended the hours
devoted to Greek and Latin and
Latin alone or to French. A smat
tering of Greek is as useless as phren
ology. _
3. Classical education is a failure
used as a discipline when carried too
far; and fb impose on all, whether
they have aptitude or not, is carrying
it too far.
4. By offering Greek to every one,
yon induce many more to study it
than otherwise would. It draws off
attention from natural philosophy,
chemistry and botany by taking time
that would otherwise be devoted to
them.
5. It is injurious to those who have
to devote themselves to business be
cause it contributes nothing at all to
the industrial faculty or power of
dealing with the concrete. It draw's
off annually from industry and busi
ness thousands of boys, eonflnestliem
for four years more in high schools
until their physical constitution and
energy is measureably impaired.
He who at fourteen could have left
school with a knowledge of grammar,
reading,writing, geography and arith
metic sufficient for doing the business
of an Astor or Stewart is retained in
school till eighteen and crammed
with Latin, Greek, geometry, alge
bra, etc., when he comes out habitu
ated to a sedentary employment, and
enfeebled bodily by it, with no taste
for business or activity of any kind,
with supercilious importance fre
quently. Too old to begin at the
bottom round of the ladder in a factory
or store with boys three or four years
his junior, and too inactive to com
pete with them, and too ignorant to
begin higher up.
—Last Sunday night a cabinet or

—Can the chap at the theatre who
insists on beating time to the orches

“man who has no music in his

—It is probably some satisfaction to
a mule to know that w'hile he cannot
soar as high as the lark, he can sing
just as loud, and kick very much
sorer.
—The water courses in Elberton
county, Ga., have been so low that
the fish are obliged to stand on their

—Nine men out of ten, when you

—If a young lady takes her place
at the piano to sing, it is your duty,
as a gentleman, to accompany her
with a very bass “oompa, oompa,

have a voice like a cow and cannot
sing a note. When the lady is

A little six-year-old came to her

and found out that the moon is not

A CHRISTMAS POEM.
THK CHILDREN’S I* R A TER.
’Twas theeve before Christmas; “God night”
bad been said
And Annie and Willie had crept into bed;
There were tears on their pillows and tears
in tbeir eyes.
And each .little bosom was heaving with
sighs.
For to-nigM their stern lather's command
had been | riven,
That theyshould retire precisely at seven.
Instead of at eight; for they troubled hint
more
With questoins unheard of than ever be
fore;
He had told them he thought this delusion
a sin,
No such being as “danta Claus” ever had
been,
And he hoped, after this, he should never
more hear
How he scrambled down chimneys with
presents each year.
And this was the reason that two little
heads
So restlessly tossed on their soft downy
beds. *
Eight, nine, and the clock on the steeple
struck ten;
Nota word had been spoken by either till
' then,
When Willie’s sad face from the blankets
did peep.
And whispered “Dear Annie, is you fast
asleep?”
“Why no, brother Willie,” a sweet voice re
plies,
“I’ve tried all in vain, but I can’t shut my
eyes.
For somehow it makes me so sorry because
Dear papa has said there Is no ‘Santa Claus.
Now we know there is, and it can’t be dt-
• nled.
For he cirne every year before mamma
died;
But then I’ve been thinking that she used
to pray,
And God would hear everything mamma
would say,
And perhaps she asked him to send Santa
Claus here
With the sack full of presents he brought
every year.”
“Well, why tan’t we pray dest ns mamma
did then ?”
And ask GccF to send him with p’eS’ents
aden?”
“I’ve been thinking so too.” Anil wit bout
a word more
Four little bare feet bounded out on the
floor.
And four little knees thesoftcarpet pressed,
And two tiny hands were clasped close to
each breast.
“Now, Willie, you must know we must
firmly believe
That the presents we ask for we’re sure to
receive
You must wait just as still till I say the
‘Amen,’
And by that you will know that your turn
has come tlien.
Dear Jesus, look down on my brother and
me,
And grant us the favor we are seeking of
Thee.
I want a wax doll, a tea-set and ring,
And an ebony work-box that shuts with a
spring;
Bless papa, dear Jesus, and cause him to
That Santa Claus loves us far better than
he;
Don’t let him get angry and fretful again
At dear brother Willie and Annie. Amen.”
“Please, Desus, ’et Santa Taus turn down to
night,
And bring us some p’esents before (t is
light.
I want he should d’ive me a niee little s’ed
With b’ight shining’unners, and all painted
’ed;
A box full of tandy, a hook and a toy.
Amen; and den, Desus, I’ll be a dood boy.”
Their prayers being ended, they raised up
their heads,
And with hearts light and cheerful again
sought their beds.
They were soon lost in slumber both peace
ful and deep,
And with farics in dreamland were roaming
in sleep.
Eight, nine, and the little French clock had
struck ten
Ere the father had thought of his children
again;
He seems now to hear Annie’s half sup
pressed sighs.
And to see the big tears stand in Willie’s
blue eyes,
“I was harsh witli my darlings,” lie men
tally said;
“And should not have sent them so early to
bed.
But then I was troubled, my feelings found
vent,
For bank stock to-day lias gone down ten
per cent.
But of course they’ve forgot their troubles
ere this,
And that I denied them the thrice asked for
kiss;
But just to make sure. I’ll steal up to the
door.
For I never spoke harsh to my darlings
before.”
So saying he softly ascended the stairs,
And arrived at the door to hear both of their
prayers,
His Annie’s “bless papa” draws forth the
And
“Strange, strange. I’d forgotten,” ‘said he
with a sigh, /
“How I longed, when a child, to have Christ
inas draw nigh.
I’ll atone for my hardness,” lie inwardly
said,
“By answering their prayers ere I sleep in
my bed.”
Then he turned to the stairs, and softly went
down.
Threw off velvet, slippers and silk dressing-
gown,
Donned hat, coat and boots, and was out in
street,
A millionaire facing the cold, driving sleet.
Nor stopped he until he had bought every
thing,
From a box full of candy to the tiny gold
ring.
Indeed, he kept adding so much to his
store.
That the various presents outnumbered a
score,
Then homeward he turned with his holiday
load,
And with Aunt Mary's help in the nursery
'twas stowed.
Miss Doliy was seated beneath the pine
tree,
By the side of a table spread out for her
tea.
A work-box well filled, in the center was
laid,
And on it a ring, for which Annie had
prayed;
A soldier in uniform stood by a sled,
“With bright shining runners, and all paint
ed red.”
There were ball, dogs and horses, books
pleasing to see,
And birds of all colors were perched in a
tree,
While Santa Claus, laughing, stood up in
the top,
As if gett ing ready more presents to drop,
And as the fond father 1 lie picture surveyed,
He thought,for his trouble, he’d been amply
paid.
And he said to himself, as he brushed off a
tear,
“I’m happier to-night than I have been for
a year-
I’ve enjoyed more true pleasure than ever
before;
What care I if bank stock fall ten per cent,
more?
Hereafter I shall make it a rule, I believe.
To have Santa Claus visit us each Christ
mas Eve.”
So thinking, he gently extinguished the

As soon as the beams of the bright morning

Four little blue eyes, out of sleep opened

And at the same moment the presents es

Then out of their beds they sprang with a

“You’ll believe there’s a Santa Claus, papa, I
