"Tliere are, indeed, luit very few who know how to be idle and ln»o- eaat, orhave a relish of any pleasures that are aot criminal; every diversion they take Is at the exper.se of some ••e virtae or other, and tlieir very first Map oat of business is into vice or folly." This example of Cne rhetoric aad bad grammar has been on file now ar«t«al: meeka without eliciting com- meat. |IM hapad It would call out an oxptesalnH of opinion from among the wnajr adacators in the county; possibly flMB aame one or more of rejected as- plraNta for a teacher*' certificate, for in' thle way anfarorable impressions might be aarractad aad ravened. I dislike t<> aaewar my owa questions, but as your term la drawing to a dose it expedient that 1 should do so. the more been use them Is a curious and highly Instructive history connected With tbla,literary gem. I remember faaataf IMa eaatenoe more than half a oaatary ago In one of the lessons in JMljfcfti Bhatorlc, but with a mind so !m«iperedb.v veneration fer authority aa to ha unable to detect the seemingly palpable error It contains. Says the learned Doctor, commenting upon this example, taken from Addison's Specta­ tor: "{foililng can be more elegant,or mare fhtely turned, than this sentence* It la aeat. door, aad musical. We aaald bardtf altar one word or displace one ammber, without spoiling It. Few aaoteneeaaia to be found more finished, ar more bappy.'* This is the dictum of a gnat maa la his day; a man occupy­ ing the chair of rhetoric and bellcs- lettres la tbe University of Edinburgh, I Latin aad Greek scholar, admired for Ma polished style, honored with a pen­ sion or a thousand dollars a year by his Majesty, the king of Great Britain, and wlteee name figures conspicuously in tbe cyclopedias. Surely this is a Buffi- aleat voucher. The Professor almost exhausted tbe terms of panegyric in lite laadatian of this sentence: --It Is "ele­ gant," It Is "finely turned." It is**musl- ael," It Is "neat," and above all, it Is Let us examine it a moment ta see In what this clearness consists. If It eboald be found to express diamet­ rically the opposite of what the author lataadad. so mush so, as utterly to spoil It, wo shall make out a c%3e, not only •gilnsttheD. D„ but against his ser Vile Imitators in this country who have published text books on "English Coin- poiltloe" with tbls very sentence among the examples to be imitated* la aaalyslng this sentence; the first pelat ta be determined is Its nomina- tfaa. Unquestionably It Is the word /HP persons understood. We next ln- falre as to the relation of this nomina- live to tim pronoun they. When this Is dearly apprehended, we perceive, according to the grammatical con«truc- tlon thai, "every diversion they (the few) take la at the expenge of seme one flrtaa or other, and their very first step •at of business Is Into vice and folly/' But this Is not what Mr. Addison In- landed to say .Obviously he wished us to Understand that the few are excepted, bhd that It is the many'--most people (-»who are chargeable with folly, etc. Snt his language does not say this, It fiays the very reverse. If the author bad commenced thus: "Most people.
