Ho brought many iutercating Ailustrationa to bear upon his subject, sud the reamarke @livited in reply were both amusing and suggestive, ‘One gentloman insisted tipon a fourth theary, altering: from cither of the above, to be studied tin mediately from the Iijs of children, whe keem {0 have a faculty of originating o Tanjiago of their own, arguing therefore thut lan~ guage was, toa cortuin extent, accidental, aud not re- feravle to certuin defined roots, but that the roots were iuade by the child, In reply it was advanced, that the child wus, to a certain extent, ‘an belr of all the ayes,” and in that light must have inberitod all the provious culture of Lin socextore, iis montal faculties were therefore iitled to furnish terms which mit Lo symbolivul to him, sud while apparently di ferisg from usual frultative sounds, nught in thal weno still ho merely imtatlre. Prof, Mills’ argument, however, was, that langungo. was of vory slow growih, ond bad originated in tho Alinplest sounds, not far removed from that language of animals, whieh they certainly possess to a degree that they comprehend cach other, He iustaueod the gluck-pluck of some Huti- American tribes, which, g 7 al from barneyard dialect, still had a distinst meaning to them, In fact, he aeons to bave arrived ut the conclusion that this slow growth of Jaugiage starling from elementary imitative sounds not much more deiinuble {nm meaning at 1 originally than the aong of the bint or the equeal of tho pig, argites strongly in favor of the Darwiulan tueory of evolution, He spoke of the manner in which Isngusgo bad been de— ped, and tho indefinite changes from its original ing caused by dlulectieal reeneration and .pho- netle decay, ‘To thesa two causes he attributed noarly all the ckauyo and modification uf Jangnnge.

The dra- matis personm are drawn with such firmness of hand, and the heroine ia ao lovely & combination of atrongth and boauty of character, that “Jane Eyre" muet always appeal to tho highest toutimenta, ond win eympathy from our best moods. The concoption of Jane Eyre by Miss Charlotte Thompson displays a loftiness of moral bearing quite unusual upon the stage, and tella xetory of something far beyond the mero study and application of a player, To reach, even by constant toil, the heights of horo~ iam in which Charlotte Bronte moved is s task before which fledglings, both on and off theatage, might essay in vain forever; and that Mise Thompson can reach thom, that she can feel with snd live inthe charactor of Jana Eyre, even iu faucy, ia 8 feat of moral strength, Bat her conception is not morely high and pure. Hor delineation of tho oparacter ia worthy the ideal. She is a handsomo woman, with dark, exprossive eyes, biack hair, and stately, gracoful figure, a :true artist, and of that exquisite sensibility which forbearsa movement which migtt bo too provounced, evon in bold delineation, With a swect, sympathatic, expressive yoico, and a manner free from affeo- tation, she presents her heroine as lovable, as tonder, snd ag horoio, as the suthoress horuelf has dopicted her, She captivates hor audiences immediately, and holds their sympathies with the force and firmness of s great character. Jane Eyre with her js not the whimpering, crushed-ont pigmy with Sunday-achoo! goodnexs and 8 vapid, nopative freedom from low desires, She is a brave, woll-knit soul, dauntlces and conscious of its power; ita gonorobity is that of the conqueror, not of tho tract-reading syco- phant. She throws s new light upon the churac- ter to those who havo not already thoir own {deal derived from the story ; to those who Lave, her conception is #0 pure, ber ombodimont sode- provements in | licloualy true to nature, to art, and to that ideal, \ thatthe performance ina refroabing novelty.
