be more apt to spoil their schoolfellows than improve themselves; because they are imprisoned and enslaved to what they hate and think useless, and have not peculiar management proper for their humour and occasion. From the harassed Quakers of Penn's colony came a far more radical and forward-looking statement of the social theory of education, as befitted those persecuted for their ideals. It is obvious, however, from later records that little more was actually accomplished in Pennsylvaniashed at Annapolis in 1728; and the next year Samuel Keimer printed at Philadelphia a translation of the Morals of Epictetus in a second edition, possibly after a first edition published in Europe. William Logan, Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, William Penn's friend, business agent, and deputy governor, collected books, founded in 1745 the Loganian Library, Annexed in 1792 to the library of the Library Company of Philadelphia. conducted an extensive correspondence with scholars, and published

phlets against him almost every morning, in which he found himself saluted as a nest of perfidious vipers, a night-flying dragon prince, a flapdragon, a caterpillar, a spider, and a butterbox. He was the King's own nephew,--great-grandson of William the Silent, and son of that Elizabeth Stuart from whom all the modern royal family of England descends. His sister was the renowned Princess Palatine, the one favorite pupil of Descartes, and the chosen friend of Leibnitz, Malebranche, and William Penn. From early childhood he was trained to war; we find him at fourteen pronounced by his tutors fit to command an army,--at fifteen, bearing away the palm in one of the last of the tournaments,--at sixteen, fighting beside the young Turenne in the Low Countries,--at nineteen, heading the advanced guard in the army of the Prince of Orange,and at twenty-three we find him appearing in England, the day before the royal standard was reared, and the day after the King lost Coventry. This traini

o see that people did not then express themselves as they now do; that they were far more ornate in utterance, more involved in statement, more impassioned in speech. Even a comparatively terse writer like Prescott, in composing Brown's biography only sixty years ago, shows traces of the earlier period. Instead of stating simply that his hero was a born Quaker, he says of him: He was descended from a highly respectable family, whose parents were of that estimable sect who came over with William Penn, to seek an asylum where they might worship their Creator unmolested, in the meek and humble spirit of their own faith. Prescott justly criticises Brown for saying, I was fraught with the apprehension that my life was endangered ; or his brain seemed to swell beyond its continent ; or I drew every bolt that appended to it ; or on recovering from deliquium, you found it where it had been dropped ; or for resorting to the circumlocution of saying, by a common apparatus that lay beside my

ot for truth. Still, with all his inexhaustible learning, he is often unable to find perverse authorities enough to support what in a moment of thoughtless humor he has said merely to tease me; and so, to supply what is wanting in the litera scripta, he invents extemporaneously whatever suits his immediate purpose. Thus, a few days ago, as I had denied that the Americans use the Indian steam-baths made by pouring water upon hot stones, the old gentleman had come with a curious letter of William Penn's on the subject, which he read aloud in English; but as this went no further than to the Indians, and not to the whites, he adroitly inserted a sentence or two gratis, from which it seemed the practice was common in Boston; and he did the thing so admirably that I did not at first suspect the trick. Two days afterwards he undertook to play off a similar joke with a French book. But, as I had luckily remarked that it was printed in 1588, above thirty years before the first colonists cam

by no means unlike his. His manners are a little awkward, but the openness of his character is so great that this does not embarrass him. He immediately began to talk about America, and particularly the early history of New England, with which he showed that sort of familiarity which I suppose characterizes his knowledge wherever he has displayed it. Of Roger Williams and John Eliot I was ashamed to find that he knew more than I did. Roger Williams, he thought, deserved the reputation which Penn has obtained, and Eliot he pronounced one of the most extraordinary men of any country. Once, he said, he had determined to write a poem on the war and character of King Philip, and at that time studied the Indian history and manners, which he thinks highly poetical. So near has the Plymouth Colony come to being classical ground! While engaged in these researches, and as he was once travelling in a post-chaise to London, he bought at a stall in Nottingham, Mather's Magnalia, which he read

ill college. Joel Hough Joel Hough was born in Chesterfield county, S. C., May 24, 1841, and in 1846 his parents removed to Kershaw county, where he received his education. The ancestors of the Hough family came to America in 1682, with William Penn, and settled in Pennsylvania, one of them being a member of Penn's council. One branch of the family emigrated south and settled in what is known as Lancaster county, S. C., long before the Revolutionary war. During one of the Indian attacks,Penn's council. One branch of the family emigrated south and settled in what is known as Lancaster county, S. C., long before the Revolutionary war. During one of the Indian attacks, which were of common occurrence at that time, the frontier fort of that settlement was besieged and entirely surrounded by Indians. Volunteers were called for to bring relief to the fort, and Sampson Hough made his way to neighboring settlements and brought the required aid. The grandfather of Mr. Hough served in the Revolutionary war; and his father, Joseph Hough, moved in 1836 to Chesterfield county, and after an honorable career as a citizen died in Kershaw county in 1851. Mr. Hough entered

then walked back to the house, marched boldly into the supper-room, and said, I told a lie when I was here. I did want a piece of pie; but I thought to be sure you would ask me again. This explicit avowal made them all smile, and he was served with as much pie as he wished to eat. The steadfastness of his whig principles led him to take a lively interest in anecdotes concerning revolutionary heroes. His mother had a brother in Philadelphia, who lived in a house formerly occupied by William Penn, at the corner of Second Street and Norris Alley. This uncle frequently cut and made garments for General Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and other distinguished men. Nothing pleased Isaac better than a visit to this city relative; and when there, his boyish mind was much occupied with watching for the famous men, of whom he had heard so much talk. Once, when General Washington came there to order some garments, he followed him a long distance from the shop. The General had observed hi
