SHOULD GIRLS STUDY LATHI.
PART 11.
It is objected that “if a girl should
succeed in obtaining a thorough knowl
edge of the Latin language, there is no
probability that she will ever be able
to apply her knoledge to any useful
purpose in after life.” This should not
be admitted as any valid objection, for
it can be urged with equal force against
half of the studies pursued by both
boys and girls. What possible use do
nine-tenths of the boys ever make of
Geometry, Calculus, Greek or Chemis
try ? How much service in the last
hundred years has the knowledge of
Latin been to our planters ? Are there
any agricultural treatises in Latin ?
Any analyses of soil ? Have they been
able “to apply their knowledge to any
useful purpose ?” Of what use to the
merchant ? There are no Romans with
whom to have commercial dealings.
As to a woman’s not having any use
for her knowledge of Latin during her
life, how many mothers are there who
constantly assist their children in pre
paring their Latin lessons ; and memo
ry recalls one who, even when on the
sick bed, would allow her young sons to
climb up near her pillow to be aided in
some difliculty in the Latin Grammar
or Reader, and who would cheerfully
and effectively assist her husband in
criticising the Latin examination pa
pers of his University classes. Asa
mother, woman will always find use for
her knowledge of Latin. As an un
married woman and the acknowledged
educator of the race—for over three
fourths of the teachers in this country
are women—she will have constant use
for the broadest culture she can com
mand. Abiidge her education, and yu
injure our country in a most vital
point.
But, is education designed only to
gather together so many facts which
are to be strung on a cord, as we put
beads on a string, all in full view and
ready for use ? Is it only to exercise
tlie memory? Is it not rather to develop
the intellectual faculties, and give them
strength to grapple with all ihe sub
jects of human inquiry ?
Is not the object of study mainly to
acquire mental power with which to
meet the requirements of life? The
study of the modern languages does
not afford that exercise to the intellec
tual powers which Latin gives, for the
Latin Grammar furnishes the most
complete discussion of the principles
and philosophy of language to be found
anywhere. Moreover, the daily exer
cise of giving suitable expression in
our own tongue to the close thought
and noble sentiments and splendid
imagery of Virgil, Cicero and Horace,
cultivates a keen discrimination, line
judgment and imagination, such as no
other study, except Greek, can impart.
That this is not only an admirable
mental discipline, but a most effective
exercise in English composition, is too
obvious to need more than the mere
statement.
If then, either sex has need of the
benefit to be derived from such study,
is it not the one who must stamp upon
the youth of onr country the impress
of her own mind ? Modern languages
afford but little mental discipline.
Teachers of them pay but slight re
gard to the grammar, and the pupil
spends most of the time in translating
simple colloqual phrases, and in efforts
to gain the most perfect pronunciation.
Surely the time spent in studying
French had much better be devoted to
Latin, for French no longer holds rank
as the language of communication be
tween nations. Wo can travel from
England to Asia with ease, without be
ing alle to speak any language but our
own. If we should attempt to use our
school-room French or German in
Europe, wo should probably find our
selves in the ludicrous position of the
Mayor of Dublin, who was appointed
to make a welcoming address to Louis
Napoleon. Considering himself a very
fair French scholar, ho delivered the
oration iu French, incompliment to the
Emperor, who, at its close, arose and
in very flue English, thanked the May
or for his address, but regretted that
he had been unable to understand it, as
he was unacquainted with the Irish
language.
Latin is acknowledged by scholars to
be the natural basis of all liberal stud
ies and of a high education. It is the
common language of science every
where. Botany, which is considered
so pre-eminently a woman’s study,'can
hardly be thoroughly understood* or
enjoyed without some knowledge of it,
as the botanical names are all in Latin,
or are Latinized.
In experiments made iu Germany, it
has been proved that, iu a five years’
course, those pupils who spent the first
three years iu the classical schools, ami
the last two years in the polytechnic
school, took a higher stand in science
at the end of the time, than the pupils
who had devoted the whole five years to
the scientific course.
Again, the modern languages beieg
derived from the Latin, we have no less
authority than our able Greek scholar,
Dr. Kendrick, for saying that “ the
modern tongues are learned not only
most thoroughly, but most economically
of time and labor, through their Latin
parent.” bhall we then require women
to climb the difficult hill of science
without the strong and friendly staff,
which is willingly placed in her
brother’s hands, and then marvel that
she loses heart and falters in the un
equal contest ?
Shall we not rather, while seeking to
find suitable, congenial and remunera
tive employments for women, select the
teaching of the languages as one pe
culiarly adapted to them ? It does not
require the exposure, nor the physical
labor which the natural sciences do; and
it is more interesting and elevating than
mathematics. That she has shown
herself capable of such work, is proved
by the fact that, about the year 1680,
Helena Cornaro was professor of six
languages in the renowned University
of Padua, and her statue stands on the
principal stairway of that university.
In 1794, Clotilda Tambroni was elected
professor of Greek in the great Uni
versity of Bologna, and her epitaph
will be found inscribed upon its doors.
She was considered the first Greek
scholar of Southern Europe in her day.
And this, too, when the only opportu
nity afforded girls for a thorough edu
cation, was some favorable chance to
“be educated like boys.” Our finest
poetical translation of that master
piece of Greek tragedy, Prometheus
Bound, is by a woman—Mrs. Brown
ing. And the best translation of the
grandest dramas of the age, the Faust
and Iphigenia of Goethe, is by Alina
Swan wick.
Shall then the door through wlrch
woman might pass to positions of use
fulness, and hoi.or, and competency, be
closed upon her ? Against such an act
of injustice, every enlightened man and
woman will unite in a most earnest
protest. Elma Winsted.

FKO9I MONTGOJUFRY TO DECATIR.
NO 11.
Decatuk, Ala., March 22, 1876.
Messes. Editors- —The railroad after
passing the junction of the Alabama
and Chattanooga road, above Birming
ham, runs through a flat, swampy
country for some miles, when it enters
a region wild and broken, and pierced
by human industry, which draws from
its hills and ravines the black treasures
that contribute so much to the comfort
of humanity, and the development of
manufactures. All through this sec
tion, mineral wealth abounds, especially
that of coal. ’Tlie coal inteiest is yet
in its infancy here, and the great de
posits only pierced at their outer edge.
Already the comparatively small capi
tal invested, is showing at vaiious
points on the line of the road, and the
coal interest is being fostered by the
liberal policy of the railroad company,
as shown in the length of track to the
mines, and the sideling accommoda
tions for the delivery of the coal, es
pecially is this manifest at Newcastle
and Warren station.
When, in the course of time, capital,
and come it. must, is invested, and these
coal mines are worked as in the North,
then will come a large influx of emi
gration from Europe, and many even of
the skilled miners now working at the
North, tempted by inducements that,
capital alone can give, and by a more
lit spitable clime, will settle in this
region, and work out these treasures of
coal and iron, and their own destiny.
Already at two points on this line
are German settlements—Strasburg,
forty-eight miles above Montgomery,
and Cullman, fifty-three miles above
Birmingham, both induced by the
cheapuess of lands, and both compar
atively prospering—Strasburg iu saw
milling and farming, and Cullman’s,
beside agriculture, giving attention to
manufactures, among them the manu
facture of furniture. This last named
town is called after its founder, or
leader of the colony, and who has his
residence there, living iu a sort of
Franco-American structure, across be
tween a mansard and a double log
cabin, and in its uniqueness, standing in
full view from the station, one cannot
refrain from inquiring for its owner
and its use.
As this town has attracted attention
from its sudden growth and the interest
felt in its future, I had some curiosity
to learn the exact pronunciation of its
name, so I asked my informant, an
intelligent German !ad, to pronounce it.
From some singular twist given to the
vowel w, the name has a peculiar
sound, not as it is spelled, so if ary ot
your readers will ask a German friend
to pronounce it, they will get the accent
of this vowel—it cannot be written.
But to return to our coal deposits,
black and grimy as it may appear to the
casual reader, it is a subject of deep
interest to all who consider the question
of cheap fuel and the advance of man
ufactures. A number of railroads have
been projected from the east to pene
trate these coal regions, among them I
think the Cherokee railroad from Car
tersville, and the Savannah and Mem
phis railroad, the first probably a fail
ure ; the second, not yet to Childers
burg, where it is to cross the Selma,
Rome and Dalton railroad, so its objec
tive point is still in the dim distance.
For some years a f least, those coal
products must depend for an outlet and
a maiket ou the S. & N. railroad and
its connections, and to this company,
from its liberal policy and facilities of
transportation, must secure a large
and profitable business for many years
to come.

of the effects of the late severe storm
were visible, and lay on the ground in
patches, sparkling in the sunlight,
“ the beautiful snow,” and the farther
north we progressed, the deeper the
deposit, until the whole face of nature
as far as the eye could reach, hills and
valleys, the unbroken and the furrowed
fields, were deep under the “untrodden
snow.” To a low countryman, to whom
a snow storm is a novelty, and even to
those who revelled in it in boyhood,
and to whom “snow clad hills” weie
familiar, the snow, as it lies on the
ground in its spark'iuk whiteness, Las
an exbilerating effect, and tempts one
to handle or tramp in it, but a few
steps in the “ driven snow,” on a bright
noon day, after the sun has entered the
summer solstice, and the illusion is
dispelled, with the penetrating wet of
the snow water upon boots adapted
only to a softer clime, and a subsequent
attack of chillblains, and one is ready
to appreciate this parody :
“ Oh the snow, the treacherous snow,
Why in the world do you tieat us go;
Freezing tlie heel, and biting tlie toe,
Be ashamed of yourself, you cruel snow.”
Much of the country oyer which the
South & North railroad parses from Ca
lera to Decatur, presents topographical
features analagous to those which mark
the route of the Western and Atlantic
railroad, and, like that great work, its
builders encountered and overcame the
natural impediments, and steep grades,
deep cutting, and sweeping curves, with
numerous bridges spanning the frequent
streams and rivers that cross its track,
show how much engineering, si ill and
outlay was necessary for its accom
plishment. But this road with appa
rently the same natural obstacles to
overcome, has seemed to have pushed
with more directness, and shows less
sinuosity in its course towards its ob
jective point, than is shown in the route
of the State road, still both are great
engineering triumphs, and both must,
for many years to come, serve as great
highways of commerce and comity be
tween the North and South.
Passing rapidly .through a country,
on a railroad train, one can form but a
narrow opinion of its fertility, the na
ture of its soil and its agricultural re
sources, too crude, indeed, to he giveu
as information. From Elmore Station,
thirteen miles above Montgomery, to
Birmingham, I saw evidences of good
farming. Above the latter point, the
lands were covered with snow, but from
casual inquiries one could infer that
the lands were tolerably productive,
and would compare favorably with
much of the farming country on the
Air-Line railroad.
At Cullman is said be one the
poorest sections under euljk'ztion on
the line of the road; persistent toil has
been rewarded, and the fame of the
vegetable productions of that, neigh
borhood is noteworthy and widespread,
and I learned of successful tobacco
cultivation near Cullman. It is repri
seuted that when these Germans settled
here they were told that the land would
not. sprout ground-peas, but that asser
tion was not only soon Disproved, bi t
results were piodue. and that astonished
even the natives, and led many of them
to follow the lead of their enterprising
neighbors, and now these poor lands
are held in higher estimation.
At Falksville, Hartsells, and on the
road to, aud around Decatur, the out
look was that ol a good farming
country, with fences and farm buildings
in tolerable good condition ; the lauds
lying well, with a gradual slope towards
the T ennessee river, which Hows past
Decatur in its silent majesty.
To one who has the taste and incli
nation for fine writing, much of the
country through which this road
traverses, will afford a wide scope for
descriptive power; much of the scenery
along the whole line of track is highly
picturesque, many of the features in
the mountain region are simply grand,
and finer than the views on the State
Road, above Dalton, and will compare
favorably with the magnificent pictures
on the Air-Line railroad, above Gaines
ville, and the Narchooehee Valley. Of
course, the weather and surroundings
have an influence on oue’s impressions
of anew country, and have much to do
with forming an opinion; and seeing
this country as I did, in the lap of win
ter, and with no favorable accessions,
save a comfortable ear and the bright
sunshine, I cannot be accused of par
tiality.
Despite the bleak aspect of winter,
the denuded trees, aud the lack of ver
dure. the scenery at aud near Blount
Springs, and ou the mountain slope be
yond Cullman, showed wierd romautic
features, and a wild graudure that
would enchant an artist, and presage
summer and autumn subject requiring
the highest skill to portray, and pic
tures like these recall the beautiful de
scriptive lines in “Thanatopsis
“The hills
ltock ribbed and ancient as tho sun, the vales
Stretching in pensive quietness between ;
The venerable woods ; rivers that move
In majesty, and the eomplaing brooks
That make the meadows green.”
Of the hotel accommodations along
the line, I cannot say much. This is a
uew country, peopled mostly by “men
to the manor boru,” and of the cracker
persuasion, and persons in tho employ
of the ralroad, express and telegraph
companies, and operators iu the various
industries, established and springing
up all along the line of the railroad,
and a touii.-.t stopping at the various
points, could not expect to find the
comforts aud conveniences incident to
older and more populous regions, but
I can, from experieuce, recommend the
I Relay House, at Birmingham, and the
Polk House, at Decatur. At Blount
Springs, a popular summer resort, and
claiming to possess valuable mineral
waters, there is a large hotel, advertised
as open at all seasons, and very acces
sible, as its buildings adjoin the station
platform.
I had intended to have written some
thing in praise of the “bridge that
carried us safe over,” but space forbids
more than mere mention of the man
agement of this South and North Ala
bama railway. The term first-class is
comparative, so, of course, this road
will not bear comparison with the first
class roads of the North, with their
double and quadruple tracks of steel
rails, but for ample car accommoda
tions, for celerity of movement and
for punctuality of arrival at stations
and terminus, with the most approved
appliances forthe prevention of accident J
this road will compare favorably with
the two best in this section—the New
Orleans aud Mobile and the Western
and Atlantic—and this small meed of
praise is disinterested and is cheerfully
awarded to one of the best managed
ralways south of Richmond or Louis
ville. Nomad.

BRIEF SUMMARY.
I’KTKR’S MFK.VSE. l.essnn for April Kith.
Golden Text.—Of which salvation, the pro
l phots have enquired and searched diligently,
who prophesied of tho grace that should como
unto you 1 Peter, 1:10
Text of the lesßon : Acts 2:12-28.
Time and Occasion.— This lesson is
but a eortinuation of the last, and its
events occurred on the day of Pente
cost, fifty days after the resurrection.
Jesus is supposed to have risen on Sunday,
April 9th, A. D., 34, and if so, Pentecost oe
curied or Sunday, May 28th. It so appears
that tlie days oi the week, the days ol ihe
month, and the month itself, all coincide this
year.
Two characters of people were at
tracted by tho miraculous circumstan
ces narrated in our last lesson. First,
those who were amazed, and asked
“what meaueth this ?” (wh at is intend
ed by this ?) and secondly, those, (per
haps residents of Jerusalem,) who did
not understand the foreign languages
spoken, and said, contemptuously,
“These men are full of new wine!”
(new means sweet nine, and was very in
toxicating;) the imputation being, that
they were intoxicated. Peter replies
to the charge that it was too soon in
the day for that, as the Jews did not
ordinarily cat and drink before nine
o’clock, the time of prayer, (the third
hour,) and, therefore, the charge of
drunkenness was preposterous. Hethen
goes on to tell what really was the
matter. “It is,” said he, “the promised
gift of the Holy Spirit, which
God promised eight hundred years be
fore, through the prophet Joel, and he
quotes Joel ii: 28, 29, and speaks of
terrible calamities in “that great and
notable day of the Lord”—alluding
mostly, to the Day of Judgment, and
perhaps also to the destruction of Je
rusalem. Who then can be saved?
“Whosoever shall call on the name of
the Lord.” But who is the Lordl
This necessitates the explanation of
Jesus being that Lord—the Messiah;
that is the objective point of his ser
mon as we will see in our next lesson.
Iu this lesson he prudeutly and in a
lawyer-like way, takes up and gradually
works out his argument, without ex
citing prejudice at first. He first calls
Jesus a man—a man proved to he
commissioned aud sent by God, by
many miracles and wonders and signs,
of which they well knew. This man
they had crucified and slain with wicked
hands; but let not that disgraceful
death startle—the event was preor
dained by ihe Almighty, who delivered
Him into their power, knowing they
would willfully and wickedly slay Him.
This Man, God bad raised up from the
dead according to David’s prophecy in
the sixteenth Psalm ; such being the
ease, it was impossible for the bonds of
death to hold Him.
Peter then goes on to prove that th ; s
very one they had put to death was the
Messiah, and had ascended to Heaven
and shed forth this evidence of the
Spirit which they saw and heard. Con
vinced and convicted, the crowd became
greatly alarmed, and, as we will see in
the next lesson, exclaimed: “Men and
brethren, what must we do ?”
People astonished.

The open Stove Ventilating Company, No.
107. Fulton Ptreet. New York, have conferred
no mean boon upon domestic life by the intro
duction in our homes and places of business of
“ The Fire on the Hearth” stove, which is a
most interesting, valuable and economical com
bination of the open fire and warm air furnaces.
This stove resembles the good and popular
“ Old Franklin,” but is higher and entirely en
closed.
A perfect combination of stove and open tire
has long been a desideratum among manufac
turers : an invention which would give all the
good features of both these means of heating
rooms, with the abscenco of any of the objec
tionable features peculiar to each. This has
been accomplished to perfection in this patent,
and science has thus contributed another im
portant and permanent adjunct to domestic
comfort and convenience, and to the enhance
ment of the public health. All the scientific
and technical journals are unanimous in the
praise of this excellent heating apparatus, and
the voice of those who have proven its merits
give to this their unqualified endorsement.
The price* for “The Fire on the Hearth"
range from *l4, to $45, according to size, inclu
ding nickel plated trimmings.
Send for circulars.
