Men who are not in earnest themselves seldom appreciate the earnestness of others ; but they who have felt the Jiirnity of improvement , will attentively regard anew effort for their lienefit—and to them I speak . In ii > e introduction to an old Oxford Latin Grammar , it is elegantly said that " < Jrammar is the sacrist iliat ljt'ai"s the kev of knowleilsro , by whom alone admittanee can be had to thy temple of the muses and treasures of the arts . " Bishop Lowth , the father of KntrlLsh ( Irammar . stvles it " the basis on which all

In our day the lifiieulties atteiuliiis tin- study of grammar are so few as not to be worth . enumeration . Sidney , in his '" Ivftwre of Poesy .

" Hut this was only true when our language was in its infancy , and our learned men wrote in Latin , and nm «\ r \ icU-A Eng-li * h Gt-tmnjans for Latin scholars . Since then , they have practised that noble condescension which Dr . Johnson so justly praised , and ' . ave so simplified their high knowledge for the benefit

      ' ¦ f the young , the poor , and tho ignorant , that no one ¦ if any pretensions to sense and industry can complain if inability to acquire grammar .

Other arts may I practised occasionally , but the art of speaking must be practised continually . Is it not strange that . what all must do hourly , few care to do correctly ? There can be no greater imputation on the intelligence of any man , than that he should talk from the cradle to the tomb , and never talk well .

      "What is more mortifying than to see persona with laudable pretensions , men of fine forms and sonorous voices , incapable of constructing half-a-dozen sentences grammatically ? It is humiliating to reflect that they , for -whom nature has done so in-nch , should do so little for themselves . They resemble the fabled apples of Pandemonium—tempting and fair to the sight , but bitter aahes on the taste . How severe ib the reproach of Shelley , in the following passage is

This proposition seemed to tickle the waiter ' s fancy , and lie immediately submitted his eyes to l > e tightly bound , when the party removed the table and chairs , bustled about the room in good style , opened the door , and escaped one by one , the last taking care to blow out the randies and lock the door after him .

Instead of meekly kissing the rod of Sir James Graham , and submitting , with resignation , to the just reward of their poverty , they craftily manage to exchange the workhouse for the milder horrors of tho 1 prison . With this unprincipled view , they actually go arid break window * . The daily police reportn prove the fact . Now destitution must be punished . The law , backed by a bishop , has said so ; still , respectable people mii 4 not have their windows broken . The good man ' s twopenny twist must be protected . We see but one course to

      pursue . . Justice must be sometimes sacrificed to expediency ; and infinitely lower on the scale of morality as the pauper must be allowed to be than the convict , still theft must be nut down . This can only bo done by increased severity , and , accordingly , we recommend that the prisons and unions should respectively change their inmates ; the poor being at once sent to gaol , and the felons consigned to the workhouse . The alteration may bear rather hard upon the thief ; but that cannot be helped .

And , honoured Sir , I hope vou will forgive me , if I say that I feel a little happy that 1 am able to put a tew words to paper , it living a sort of ruin fort to a man . howsoever poor he inav be . My boldness , honoured Sir , is this . It is , under your favour and consideration , to ask of your kindness , to let me have an acre of' land ; or , if i am too ln > ld iu uskingji whole acre , half or a . [ iiarter of the same . 1 know that it niav be thought a little biifh and daring in ine , to ask lor such a favour , seeing

      that your estates are let out in large farms . If is , perhaps , a presumption , and—as I ' ve been told—a sort of flying in the face of property , for a man who Isn't rich enough to farm a thousand acres ; who hasn ' t money for cattle and bone-dust , and all that , —to think of having a little slice uf land , just to grow a few things on for himself and children , land only being- for them who can have a lot of it , or none . Nevertheless , Sir , 1 hope for your kindness . I ' ve been all along used to go to church , though I hope I may be forgiveu for it—I haven ' t been these two months , seeing that my clothes are all in such rags that , as o » e of the churchwardens told me , they were quite a disgrace to a respectable congregation . Well , Sir , I say I used to ; go to church , but 1 never heard there

      whether the ( iarden of Eden was twenty thousand acres or not—perhaps the gentlemen who set their faces against small allotments , know it to have been a very large farm indeed , and so think they have religion upon their side , when they refuse a poor man a little patch for his own spade . 1 knowthat it was -made a part of tlie punishment of sin—a p < irf of the curse of heaven , that man should eat his bread in the sweat of his face . That , however wicked he mav have been , he should not on his own account be suffered to <\ it his bread at all , does seem to me—and nvy heart is so full , 1 can ' t help saying it—very like a curse coming from the other place . I suppose , too , they who eat bread from the sweat of other people , have never sinned at all .

      I hojie , honoured sir , you will forgive- these words . ' but my pen nins away with me like . When 1 ask , honoured Sir , for this bit of land , I mean , of course , to pay the very highest price you can get for it . I know that land 1 st out in little bits is alwajs made to fetrb , | more than when let by the lump . This , of course , the poor must expect . It is « o in all thintrs . My wife gives more for her bit of soap and candle i when she can buy it ) , more for my bit of'baceo , than if we could buy such things by the pound , like respectable people . And it isn't then to be expected that agreat landlord , wen though he may Ix * a I Hike to boot , will do otherwise than the keeper of achandler ' s-shop . N 6 , Sir , though my neighbours say I ' m a bold fellow , and have strange nonsense running in my head , I don ' t expect ' tluit . If people wern't so foolish as to think othmvise . there

      would never have been such a noise about ; i gentleman who said , " If he let a lug of land for fivepence when he could get eightpene-e for it , he should be giving away threepence to the reliant . " The gentleman- only said wliat was true—the gentleman Only said what nearly all the world < io with one another every day of their lives . 1 was reading in a London newspaper that was lent me a day or two ago , where all sorts -of things were advertised to be sold one under the other ; coats , and waistcoats , and trousers , for almost no money at nil .
