On. day when Mr. Dawson. an eloquent preacher ot a century "o. called to see Miss Corbett. a wealthy admirer of his oratory. tor whom we had conceived a not altogether platonic affection. he found her reading the Bible. Steal- ing up behind her. he looked over her shoulder to see what she was reading. when, without sh0wlng any recognition of his presence, the lady's forefinger rested on the womb of Nathan to David: "Thou art the man." Even a less marked hint would have been sulficient for Dr. Dawson, and We cannot won- der that Bliss some: soon chung- od her hunk. 'iainsboroug,t's wooing was made almost absurdly easy tor 'him.

When. after a slngle meet- Ing. he decided that Miss Anna Threllnll would make a. desirable lite partner. he promptly wrote to tell her so in a direct. businesslike way. Ho told her frankly that he was "much too lousy a. man to have time to spare for love making"; but it she was willing to marry him she might let him know, and the gamer wus favorable. For constancy it would he dittiettrt to find a. rival for Jeremy Bentham. In early manhood Jeremy Bentham proposed tor the hand of a. young lady, who promptly refused him. Forty years later he renewed his otter with tho same result; and, still onally cherishing his love in old age. ho proposed again at the age of eighty in " touching letter. in which he wrote: "Since the day when you presented me with the flower in the lane. not a single day has passed in which you have not engrossed my thoughts."

It was not generally adopted In Europe un- til several centuries later, notwith- standing its great aurantagos. For a considerable time there were two parties among the European edu- catara. One party. known as the Al- gorists. favored the adoption of thle Hindoo system of notation (false- tr called Arable), with its possible values, while the other, known as the albaeisrta, favored the Roman notation, without zero or position value. 1.
