The annual visits to the-cometery, with the memories they recall, are then among the incidents of the year that will not lose their interest and impressions. They will be the wore commended the better they are under stood and appreciated. . THE WANT OF THE DAY. Goldwin Smith, in the Weekly Sun, hi some aspects of the teaching profession in bis own clear and em phatic way. Practically he holds the schools responsible for the ethical teaching of the boys, or for the want of that ethical teaching. Hence the demand for voluntary schools. The chief virtue of the separate or voluntary school ix its devotion to re figion and department. The one can. fot be taught guccessiully in a public school to which go the children of Jew and Gentile, believer, atheist and Heroic. The law authorizes the rend ing of seripture daily without note and comment. Jt so prevents any thing which can be called inductive teaching. But if religion, by specific jnstraction, be disallowed there is the fife of the teacher, which is constant: ty before 'the school ana which speaks louder than words. Fvery teacher whe is gy profound religionist is influ- encing bis pupils, and if they are not impressec there is something seriously anise with the teacher. The preponderance of women 'over men among the public school teachers ih credited, by Mr, Smith, with the Hinarked deficiency in the manners of J the boys, whom, beyond a certain The women canfiot control." may have something to do with "his against the refinea influence barlening | of women.

The amusing blunders many eminent men make are not always due to ig norance. In fact an ignoramus would not 'make them. They are often the result merely of "the inability of the articulator to keep pace with the thought. Of this class of blunderers two men of similar name may be in stanced-senator John €. Spooner, of Wisconsin, and Prof. William Archi bald Spooner, of Oxford university, and both are guilty of some famous "Spoouerisms." William Braddon, of New York, knows the professor, very well and tells some famous stories of that A ontric genius, whose fame as a ludicrous word twister has spread all over Europe... When he gave out in chapel the first line of the mission ary vies, "From Greenland's , icy mountains,' he contortea it thu, "From leeland"s greasy mountains," Another hymn he announced as "Kinkering Kongs their titles take." At a special service, seeing some wo men standing at the back of the church weiting to be seated, he rush ol down the aisle and addressed the ushers as follows jentlemen, gentle men; sew these ladies inta their sheets." Being asked at dinner what fruit he would have he promptly re plied, "Pigs, fleas." Prof. Spooner, who has the respect of all England, is apparently quite unconscious of these remarkable trans positions. This is the way in which he proposed to his wife. Being one afternoon at the home of her father, bishop Harvey Goodwin, of Carlisle, Mrs. Goodwin said : "Mr. Spooner, will you please go out infothe gar den and ask Miss Goodwin il she will come in and make tea?' The profes sor on finding the young lady said "Mise Goodwin, your mother told me to ask you if you would come in and take me." An uncergraduwate was up before Prof. Spooner, the dean of his col lege, for neglecting bis studies and constantly being absent from lectures Kegarding him sternly thq good man said 1 "Young gentleman, do you reg lize that vou are squandering your parents' money and imperiling your future career 7 You have now tasted two worms!"

DAILY WHIG, SATURDAY, JULY 12 SAYINGS AND COMMENTS. By Captain J. D. Chartrand, Of Kingston. * Two eminent Englishmen, Chawver- lain and Cen. Bulier have been this week the vietims of grave accidests. The former revived a serious bodily wound, the latter a mortally moral blow, whith ki:ly what military repe tation he had left Chamberlain was stricken just when he was the most needed, and Buller spoke mst when be should mot | have done #0. Un the th of October last, I pub lished in "La Patiie," in substance, what follows : 1 am sorry to see I was right when I told you Intely that Gen. Buller was falling down 10 pieces. The English man can patiently stand many things, but when he learns thet one of his generals commanding ai-chief in the teld, has given to one of his inferiors the order: to surrender to the enemy a besieged place, with its 16,000 de fenders, he makes a face. And' fur thermore, when be bears this same general publicly boasting of having given such an order amd proudly. as suming all responsthility for it, the Englishman gets very angry. Gen. Buller has just been the victim of that anger and was simply deprived of th command of one of the newly-formed cor, s ('armee. Although excessively liberal and fll of mansuetude, the Biritich nation has at last thought ii opportune to so put a cheek to the fancies of its brilliant society sol diers. Rich and high born, married to an intelligent woman, well in court, Buller has filled a glorious career. Of course, he possessed this courage, bravery and temdcity which are the appanage of British officers, as of of ficers of all armies, in general. For, with officers, pride and vanity bring in these military virtues, if they are not there naturally. And besides, Bul lor was greatly helped by society which, in England more than in any other nation, is the all powerful loader of military life. Indulgent anc unconsciously disdainful, like all Eng lish gentlemen, he treated his men with kindness, gave splendid enter tainments to his officers and was sur rounded by a real court, where his wile reigned with brilliancy, All thi goes to the ground before a simple in discretion. It was so easy for Bulle: to keop silent and Jet the papers tall ax they pleased. A general who gets into arguments with newspapers is a general beaten beforehand. The effi cient arm of the soldier who com mands in-chief is silence. To act is his duty, disdaining all criticisms. As a rule, he does not know how to handle speech, and he bluntly gives way « his indignation. And we all know that an angry word is always an im prudent word." In spite of all that, up to to-day Gen. Buller had still some faithfu friends loft, who believed in him, bu uvew, after his last most unhappy pub lic utterances, he is deserted by al and his glorious past is blotted out Nothing remains for him to do now but to retire into painful oblivion What a pity ! On the 15th of January last, 1 wrote in the same paper the follow ing : "I admire, nay I have almost ship for men who have civil cow awe. Military courage cannot = stan comparison with civil courage. Thos who possess military courage , rm chances to be killed, but those chan es are common 10 all soldiers--whe support each other, when they face them. But civil courage is a gift ol isolation. It is generally the lot of the unpopular man, who goes against current ideas and opinions, against traditional susceptibilities, who often ofiends friends and walks alone in life, without being hindered hy any thing or anvbody, looking stranrht to the goal, he wirhes to attain, for the welfare of his country. Events prove in time that he is right. He pretend that attacks and caluunies leave hir unconcerned. Do not believe him. He has a sensible heart, like most stern looking wen have, but his will domi nates his heart. Perhaps does he even suffer more than any one else, but he hides his feelings under a mask of in difference, through which the keen ohsorver sees clearly. History furnish with many examples of civil courage, but we have enough of them among out contemporanes to satisfy us, See Chamberlain in England I quote Chamberlain, for he is the man of the day. He is hated everywhere, even by a great many of his own peo ple. What = it to me if Chamberinin is English, French or German ? What i# it to me if Chamberlain is right or wrong ? All I see in him, it 1s the nan, the virile man, the man with the won will, who goes straight his way. Nothine stops him in what he thinks ix for the welfare of his country. He has lately pronounced one of these speeches, which ve a place in his "What | have said, 1 have said I withdraw nothing, I explain nothing I defend nothing. A British minister who does his duty is always detested in foreign countries, I do not want to give any lesson to any body, but I receive none from any ome." "hese are proud words, which his adversar jos, even his most bitter enemies, can- not help admiring. T have seen during my eventfnl life, so much baseness, weakness, and sveophancy, that when I find 4 man, a manly man, whatever may be his errors or faults, I deeply bow before him." Chamberlain is wounded, Buller is morally dead, but the war is over and the king is recovering his health. England wor os us has had lately several cruel trials, but strong nations can always support with calm and fortitvde the great urisfortunes of life, which are inherent ta humanity. i ------------ Warning To Mothers.
