Messrs Editors : In planning the education of their children, parents have often very crude and erroneous ideas in regard to tho objects and ad vantages of tho study of the Clas sic Languages. The popular notions on tli s subject aro to a great extent traditionary, and however correct and suitable to former times and older Countries, they are not now, and in a country like this, to be unhesitatingly adopted. The objeot of all philological studies is twofold. First to enable the student to read in their originals themaster-works of other nations and o her times; sec ondly, to furnish 1 1 the studeut by means of such studios, tho most effi cient means to imoroovo and extend the knowledge ol s»a own tongue, because translation affords a constant practice in Composition, and induces a careful in vestigation of Synonyms and of the Etymology of wo’ds. In a Country in which young men seldom complete an Academic Course, or if they do, seldom acquire that criti cal knowledge of tho Ancient Laoguag. cs, that is absolutely in Icspensable in order thoroughly to understand and ap preciate the merits and beauties of an auther: It may bo safely asserted thit low Southern students acquire such a knowledge of tho Ancient Lan guages as to justify them in thus em ploying their time in the manner above defined. It is really impossible for boy?, who with the mecrest smattering of Latin and Greek, enter upon a Col legiate Cuurse, to learn in the short space of four years, the half of what is sot before them- I would therefore ad vis3 no boy at this time to seek or expect to obtiin a knowledge cf Latin & Greek for the purpo e referred t>, so long as our C dleges remain in a manner useless for want of a proper cooperative system ol “home-schools,” I come now to speak of tic second object of these studies as above defined, which I consider to be within reach of many under favorable circumstances, and which alter all, is tho real benefit derived from such stndy. The English language being a composite one, has far its roots the Saxon and its cog nate U ngues the Danish, Swedish, N r wegian & German, next the Latin, rrcuch, and Greek. JVo one there f re can be an accomplished English scholar, without an acquaintanceship with at least the Latin, Gre k, and French Languages- Experience tnorc ovet proves that those who have stud ied languages of any kind, are apt to become in .ire 11 ant and polish and writ ers. It cannot be said that such s'u lies enlarge tho at >ck oi our i La*, but on the other hand, they discipline the mind and rofiio the in dium, by means of which we envoy our idea?. The profoundest thoughts and the loftiest ideas sink into iasign'fictnce, or pro duce only ridicule, when conveyed in tame language unsuited to their character. Who does nit take de light in listening to the coversation of a man who always uses the light word in the right place ? It is uot so much he ideas of the Orator as his language, that cuthralls the listening wulli tule. What staly then is more pleasing cr mote useful than that which perfects ua ia our own longue ? Pedants tell us that no one can be a tbe-urough scholar, without a knowledge ot Latiu and Groek. If taken in the sensoasjust now explained, I aequi tsce in that opinion ; but this saying is oft-n interpreted quite differently, namely that a knot? ledge of Latin and Groek alone constitutes tho scholar There was a time when this opiniou was c. rrcct. Daring the literary dark ness of the Mi idle Age?, when the in flux c-f the hordes es Northern barba rians had driven the veturi.sof sci ence into the Cloisters, in the seclu sion (f which, the Monks passed their quiet lives iu tho cultivation of the muses. They wrote ia Latin; henci it comes that for centuries after the revival of Letter?, all scientific religions, dipbmatio transactions and rccard?, \ver 0 wiittcn iu Latin ; everyone of the s'ightest pretentions to scholarship had to und rstand Latin, and (bo scholars of n later age bad to learn Latin in or d.r to reach the various stores of knowledge ta bo found only in that languoge. When, however, in the courie of time, the learned of different nations began to write on Art and Sci ence in their own respective languages, then it cosed to tea necessity for the young study Latin for this reason on ly- It can easily be imagined what n blessing has bern conferred on that class of persons whoso condition would sat permit them to Btudy the Latin Language, and who now have nnlimit’-d access to the vast store-houses of knowl edge to be found in books of their own language. PA y SON> OA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1807. W e are told that no modern poet has rq tailed the productions of Homer, N irgil, Horace and others. I am ono of those who hold this to be the opin od of Pedants, whose lives arc spent in poring over the musty tomes of antiquity, knowing nothing and ad miring notbiug which is not at loast a thousand years old. Such men and their disciples are but unless drones in the busy hivo of modern progress, as lor.g as they confine themselves exclu sively to such studies. To unlerstand and appreciate the po etry of any language, one must think and feel in thrt lvtiguage ; it is possi ble to aequiro a living tongue to that exteut, but no amount of study, will en able us thus to understand a dead one. Ilence all talk to tho contrary is mere pedantic twaddle, and pretension. In conclusion then I would repeat that, in this country especially, tho rising generation should study the Ancient Languages merely for the purpose of disciplining their minds, and of perfec ting themselves ia their mother tongue However, no sensible man can approve of the very general course adopted by teaehers of putting boys in Latin before they have imparted to them a fair knowledge of English Grammcr, or otherwise disciplining their capacities. It is owing to this error that we find so many who after dragging fur years through Latin, find their labors utter ly ustlc.-s to them. Hack a course may sucoed ia older countries, where elementary training is more effec tive, but here, as every day's experience proves such a system is prepvsterous and mischievous. It may surprise many readers to be told that in many country echools, oue half or one third of the pupils arc wearing out their energies in trying to learn Latin, yet unable to write a doz en lines without grarcmatxal or ortho graphical errors. It is owing to this, that wc find boys, who after two or three years hard s'udy of Latm, know no more than they ought to have learned in six months. In an experience of thirty years, the writer of this article has never m 3t with an exception te tl.ii deplorab’o state of tbiugs. Notwithstanding all this, I j can safely recomcnu the study of Latin, ; t • _ • ■ - -a. I manner, at the right time, and not to ! the exclusion of other and practical i branches of science. “A LPII A.” Dawson, Dec. 10ib, ISG-i. Another lVcMein Wonder. The greatest, wojdcr ia the S.ate ts lowa, and perhaps any other State, is what they call ‘‘Wilted Lake,” Weight county, twelve rules of the Dubuque and Pacific Railway, and about ouo huu drel and fi ty miles west of Dubuque C.iy. The water it from two to three lest higher than the earth’s suiface lo most places the wall is ten loot high, width at the bottom fifteen feel, and at the top five. Another fact it tLe size of the s‘one usel in is cons;ructioa; tLe whole is of stone, varying in weight lrom thr-e tons down to one hundred pounds There is abundance of stone ia Weigt county j but surrounding the lake to the extent cf five or ten miles there are none. Nj one can form an idea as to the means employed to bring them to tho spot, or who constructed it. Around the entire itke is a belt of woodland, half a mile iu width, compoK cd of oak ; with this exception the coun try is a riffling prairie. Too trees there fore must have been placed there at the time of building the wall. In the spring of 18bd, there was a great storm, and the ice of the lake broke the wall in several place.-, and the farmers iu that vicinity were obliged to repair damages t' prevent inundation. The lake occupies a ground snrface of 1900acref, debih of water cs great as 25 feet. The water is'clear and cold, soil sandyand loamy. It is singular that no one has been able to uncertain where the water eomes from, a:.d whire it ego ; to, yet it always remains clear and fresh.

Out in Missouri lives a Mrs. Ilemp dalo, who bus oi hod a daughter muti <;d Laura, who loved u man named Jack. This man Jack she didn’t like but s!io was informed by a neighbor | that Jack and Laura had arrarged a p'an of el ipeinent. Her mind was quickly made up..— She announced to Laura tho next in >r niug that she was going to Belleville on a visit, to be gone for three days, I and that she must boa good girl and ! not tear the bouse down while ehe was I gone. ! 1 bat night Jack knew of if, and ns be read the nice little note that bade him “come over and stay until moth er comes h me, and what a splendid time we will have,” he smiled, knock ; ed the ashes off his cigar, and resolve 1 of course he would Jack went over, but there is no earthly use in our attempting to do scribe th < delectab'o tilings he enjoy ed; it was a sugar season on that plan tation, sure. Jut before dusk, while Jack was running over full ot the occasion, in rushes Laura’s waiting woman with “Lor bress ine, cliil’u, es yer ain’t missis at do gate.” “My Go 1, Diu-ah, what shall we do with Jack ?" “Pop him in de closet, Mbs Laura,” and Jack was popped in the closet in a twinkling. In stalked ‘ho old lady, nnd sharp ly scruliniz ng the disconcerted and blushing countenance of Laura, felt sure that Jack hul been there. “Come here Laura No v you can’t deceive me. That aboni'nable Platno baa been here, and you and lie have fixed upon a runaway match, to come oil'to night; I know you sum.” Laura was silent, and tho old lady continued— “But you’ll find your mother is n a tool, and too sharp for you, my lady. .Sooner than you snouM marry that miserable Jack Plains, I’d see you laid in your grave, lie is not going to squander my money, 1 assure you.” The old lady rose, and going to a c'othes press, returned with several comforters and a. p i ow. Then walking up to the closet where Jack was e ncetded, threw them in and said to I,aura: 1 Now n arnh in here, llisa, step along, I’ll took out that low born me chanic this night.” v> ,«b udiiirr.'r might be sorry for it someday. But, without paying any attention, her mother gave her a push, shut the uoot, and locked it, put the key in her pocket and went to Led. Early in the morning Ills old lady arose, an! without waring to dress, took the key fcm her pocket, and opened tho closet door to hi 1 Laura come forth, gazed wildly for an instant, and utter.ng a m st piercing scream liecovering very rapidly, she started away from the doer and called faintly to Laura “Laura, dear, go iuto the kitchen | and see about the breakfast.” Then presently “Jack, 1 eav, Jack.” Jack came forth with a son-in-law lo .kintc air and answered : “Well, madam, what is it “Da you know anything übout a farm ?” said she. “Nothing to brag of ma’am,” said Jack, humbly. “Well, at any rate, Jack, I think that after breakfast you and Laura i may as well go down to the city and jgatmariied, for I’m tired of watching I you, that’s a fact ” Another Snake Story. —The Vicks burg Times, of tho 19th, is responsible i for the fallowing: | Some llatboutrnen at Miliken'sbend | not long since, raw on the ban* a long ; bla k snake, lazily watching the grad ually lengthening ridge of earth peeu i liar to the subsoil navigation oi the i mole. The little borrower emerged at the root of a tree, and the snake with oue lunge captured and swa lowed him.— The observers of this sad affair thought it was all over with poor ttm'o, but nothing daunted, perhaps unaware of bis perilous situation, be kept on scratching until be came out at the small end of tho snake, who, fee ing suddenly that he had Keen cheated of a square meal, turned and swallowed hint again, with the same result as b> forc. The Ceptain of the flatbo&t, in overv respect a reliable gentleman, informs us that this singular contest was continu ed for eight hours, with no variation, except that the mole, as he became bet ter a quainted with the rout, made fas ler time on bis trips .Finally, the snake, completely dis gusted nitli tile mole, allowed it to go in peace, and dragging himstlf to a hickory reo, butted his 1 rains out against its roots On being opr nod, his “innards,” from end to end, were found to be as slick and smooth as tho inside of a lady’s ttiimble.
