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 Mr. Harris’s capacity ylace. In test of Mr. Harris’s capacity that he ^ 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 gan was stolen from a St. Louis church. Sing “Sweet Sabbath theive!” —Those young ladies at church fairs who sell five cent pin cushions for §3 ought to be arrested for robbing the males. —Can the chap at the theatre who insists on beating time to the orches tra with his feet be spoken of as a “man who has no music in his sole?” —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 heads in order to sustain life. —Nine men out of ten, when you run against them in the dark, will say “Hello!” the other one will mut ter the first syllable and leave you to complete the word. —The Manchester Gentleman’s Glee Club, “in order to develop and encourage the composition of Eng lish glees,” have offered two prizes of twenty pounds each for the best serious ana the best cheerful glee. —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, bum, bum, "bum,” especially if you have a voice like a cow and cannot sing a note. When the lady is through you should whistle the re frain tor the benefit of your neighbor who may not have heard the song. A little six-year-old came to her grandfather the other day, with a trouble weighing on her mind. “Aunt says the moon is made of green cheese, and I don’t believe it.” “Don’t you believe it! Why not?” “Be cause I’ve been looking in the Bible, and found out that the moon is not made of green cheese, for the moon was made before cows. ’’ Wasn’t that cute? OOMI-iffiUS^gffPAY ENQTfTRER: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28, 1877. 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 BANK INC AND INSURANCE. $0,000 ISSUANCE DEPOSIT Mad,© by tlie Georgia Home INSURANCE COIPANY, In the State of Georgia, tor the protection #£ her policy holders.

As soon as the beams of the bright morning sun Put the darkness to flight, and the stars, one by one, Four little blue eyes, out of sleep opened Wide, And at the same moment the presents es pied. Then out of their beds they sprang with a bound, And the very gifts prayed for were all of them found. They laughed and they cried in their inno cent glee, And shouted for “papa” to come quick and see What old Santa Claus had brought in the night, (Just the things that they wanted) and left - before light. “And now,” added Annie, in a voice soft, and low, “You’ll believe there’s a Santa Claus, papa, I know." Wlille dear little Willie climbed up on his knee, Determined no secret between them should be, And told, in soft whispers, how Annie had said That her blessed mamma, so long ago dead, Used to kneel down and pray by the side of her chair, And t hat God, up iu Heaven, had answered her prayer, “Den we dot up and prayed dest as well as wetould.
