lagee r says some Tomkins or Simpkinc , who lias hiased Shakt ^ r ^ fin ^ t t | $ Jbc ^ fOn * rf A * fatft » t tJ ^ pubre * ,: Mbnjpo « M-have th ^ ir Bibks and Testament *« , * & may learn thence the Hebrew aj * i the Christian oode » of charity ; ¦ True ; but < k » e « yoar . rnev
rence consider how Iktle influence the mere habfoutl readjfckgHof the book may have on our practice ? As to the Spartan wwb Persian schools , it will he said that there was something like ? then * here at the Elizabethan era ; but subsequently standing armies have been found a safe substitute for them .
Yet it is a truism that sound morals and correct taste cannot be too " widely nor too thoroughly inculcated in the comraiajaity 5 and , in an era of danger , that forward and habile patriotism , which volunteers into public service , candot be found too extensively among the people . ' Oh , yes , y # s , of course we would have , by all means , sufficient numbers iri our volunteer corps ia case of an invasion / Ay > and in case the Carlton Glub should
choose to summon recruits of the starvidg masses around them treasury , or should require new levies to support their military Orange lodges ; in that case they would desire disciples of tih school which teaches men to give their famishad bodies to the service of traitor * . ;; We xntaet disengage ourselves from the aid of such adviserfij
whose pretensions stand apart from the genius of the land , whose interests are isolated amid a community struggling against t&e overwhelming consequences of nearly three quarters of a century of misgovernimnt . We have had enough of the Tory Lord of a past generation ; we have heard enough of the patriotism of Pitt * made monopolists of this . There is room for no private interests
ftor peculiar right of dictation in an argument involving ( he character of the British nation . There can be no doubt that thit people are susceptible of all the perfections attainable by educa ^ tion . Taste is no stranger to the English village , for our sweetest music , old roundelays , apd madrigals , glees , and other melodie ^ i appear in the days of Shakspeare and Isaac Walton to have been rife in the roadside hostel and day-labourer ' s ^ cottage ; and the
milkmaid was cross-grained indeed who had not voice and n&ea&aig to recall to the ear of the polished citizen the ditties he admired *? Perhaps , since our farmers have dismissed their boarders , thf day-labourers , and sent their daughters to boardinjr-schook th singing taste of the cottager has deteriorated ; but knowing the
steps down from the better state , we may remount thea * jtet . Again : cam it be doubted that Englishmen , in the m * ss , hprw the spirit of cooperation and the strong purpose of conquerors , when they have so likely , without any outbreak or any diiartUlr in their ranks , won ihe victory of reform ?
