CxicAGo; Feb. 25.—In. common with many others I hav been much interested in the spel ing reform letters which hav ben published in Tue TriBoN of late, and I desire to hav alittl to say in the matter. Your compositors wil do me a favor if they wil “follow copy,” and not eodeavor to make my letter any more or les fonetic than it appersin the manusecript, for reasons which wil hereafter be scen. | ‘The advocates of speling reform hav had two great difficulties to contend with beretofore. 1. They attempted too much. The people at Jarg cannot’ be indust to adop such o radical and sweeping change as would be necessitated by the fntroduction of a purely fonetic system; they must be brouzhit to the proper polat by degrees. Our progress must be slow—pernaps paiufully so. . 2, The reformers hav not been abl to agre among themselves as to what is the best system that can be devisd; «ach onc has had his own hobby to ride, and insisted that Ais was the only direct road to the desired moal. ‘Thapks to the good_judzment of the mem- becs of the American Filological and the Speling- Teform Associations, the first dificulty seems in a fair way to be surmounted. The body first named, comprising some of the best scholars of the country, has recommended, * as a bezin- ning ** changes in the orthoaraphy of eleven words, which, for their frequency of use aud their simplicity, mizk+ easily beadopted without Troducing any coniusion in the mind of the dullest or the brichtest reader. Pray let me copy these spellings here: Tho, thru, sard, catalog, ar, giv, Jiv, hav, def- init, infinit, wisht. 1n these eleven words sixteen superfinous let- ters ar dropt, and only one adopted as asub- stitute. “A few weeks’ ‘use wouid habituate all readers 1o the sight of them, and any newapaper can now—backt up by high authority—employ them without suspicion of pedantry or eccen- tricity. The Socling-Reform Association has paved the way to combat the sccond dificulty by recom- mending, *for immediate use,” the following rules, simple and esy of application, and which 1 have endevord to “follow in this communica- tion, witbout employing any pzrticalar outre peling. 1t wil do no harm to reprint them {fromyour issue of the 16th inst.: 1. Omit a from the digraf ea when prononnstas e- ehort, a8 in hedholth, etc. 2. Omit silent ¢ after a short vowel. in‘hav, giv, ete. 3. Write 7 for ph in such wordsas aifabet. funtom, ete. . When a word ends withs double letter, omit the last. 18 1 ehal, clif, eg, etc. 5. Change'ed finsl to { whore ivhas the sound of £, as in lasht, imprest, etc, Taking the above jules asa guide, I took a half-colum of TRIBUN editorial, lest Sunday, and markt out 172 superfiuous letters. Count~ ing the averaze mumbr of letters to a live, I found that by the same system 2 half column could hav been = savd on the editorinl page slone—and that in the largest (leaded) type used in the paper. 1o the same ratio, the use of the abov rules would bay saved more than an entire page of last Sunday's issue! When you ar ‘“*boiling down® your news and *‘condensing*! vour reporters’ notes 8045 to crowd the greatest amount of matter into your colums, think of this, and ask your- self if you cannot save moncy, nme, wnd pa- ticnce by the adoption of the new system. Iregret to se G. D. B, agre so redily to Will- fam M. D.’s proposition to discus the merits of two different systems of fonetics. It is the rock on which the speling reformers hav split heretofore, and at this time can produce no good results. It canonly serv the purpose of dividing the frends of tru reform and distract the attention of the public from the great ques- tion,—the importance and imperativ necesity of areform in_orthografy. Let us adopt the suzeestions of the Associations heretofore nsmed, and_thus give the reform the impetus of a forward movement,—a start,—and we shal find our farther progres greatly facilitated and accelerated. | # The opponénts of speling reform must con- stantly meet the fact that the tendencies of our language ar toward greater simpliaty. Our orthografy is zradually shifting, und the sim- ler forms (where two or more ar offercd) ar Eeing adopted as preferable. Those of us who ar yet iv the prime of life can, without reference to books, instance numerous cases of changes made in the speling of words within our own time. Any one who hes the curiosity to visit the Franklin Soclety Library, on Monroo streer, and compare the orthografy of the statutes of Heary VIL, asprioted by Caxton, wil hav his eyes operd to the wonderful changzes which 400 years hay wrot in this direction. Permit me to close this letter with some ran- dom quotations from a pamphlet fssued in 1867, advoeatiog speling reform: Reading spd writing ar . . . merely the tools with which to dig out knovledge. Bat'gode- fective ar these implements and so difilcalt is it to lern their mec, that fully one-salf of tne time American youths go to echool is spent in cforts to acquire the urt of reading at.d writing words. The mere mecaanics] att of chirografy is not difficnit to lern. but the orthograjic and orlhoeplc tast is hercolean. It is begun by all, but achieved by few. . . . The reader may liave forzotten how much time and trouble 1t cost him to lern toread and spel, but it was immens if he sacceeded in attain- ing & satiefactory degre of proficiency, which not one in ten ever does. The orthografy of our la guige must be acquired by slow and painfui de- grees. Anarlitrars, false speling of -most words muet be_committed to memory: the pupil must accepla jumbie of letters as representativs of a somnd which they do not produce, and try and fasten them on the mind as the orthografy of the words. . . . Teuchers write down the name of an object, action, or quality, and tell the pupil to look at and recollect it as they wonid a face, .. . So common_ worde, such as psalm, sylisble, ~wrestle, knee.

It is about time that we gave up our slavish and blind obedience to the dictation of the com- pilers and editors of dictionaries, und exercised some of the common sense for which, as o peo- ple, we have 80 much credit.

Haruer's Easy Cauir. ‘Itis not many months since ‘the farcwell breakfast to Bayard Taylor at'the Century Club, and the great dinoer at Delmonico’s, over both of which Bryant presided. The assoclation of | the two names is now very touching. The older man seemed very bale, and the younger very robust; and there wis mo spparent reszon to doubt that when the Minister roturned from his honorable mission the old poet might preside at 2 banquet of welcome as gracefully as at that of farewcll. On the morningof the Centary breakfast, Bryant, and Talor, and the ' Easy Chair chanced to meet at the steps of the Club, and after & little conversation they passed in together. The cheerful greeting of the old poet to bis youuger brother, and the light, bappy, expectant maoner of the Minister, were very pleasant to see and he: one who knew the earnest, deyoted, hig] ind- ed, aud true-hearted man whom the breakfast | was to honor, could help rejoicing in his well- won official Inurels and his cheerful anticipa- tions. The company at table In the large room of the Century was such as the Century can ns- semble on its great days; and the happy speech of Beyaut, aud the modest and gracefal ey of ecl- | the guest, fitly cxpressed on both sides the ing of the occasion. The company lingered long, cliatting and Jaughing, nor saw nor suspected over the two chief fizures the shadow that even then impended. ‘ About a month later, Bryant stood in the fervia 3ay sunshine, declining the ofter of any shelter, which was nevertheless furnished, so that he was protected from the sun, except for a moment at the end of his specch, when e moved toward the bust of Mazziul, which was then unveiled. | ‘Those who were with bim observed no especial exhaustion; but within half an honr he fell saddenly, is brow still moist with the generous warmth of his tribate {6 a fellow-soldier of Lib- erty, a8 differeut in temperatufe and metbod from himself as one man could be from another. He revived slightly, but doubtless was never wholly himeelf ugaio, and a few days afterward Be peacefully dicd. In the autumn the Century held a commemoration of its President, at which Mr. Bigelow, long his associate in the editorship of the £vening Post, read a discourse fall of interesting and valusble personal reml- piscence aud fine appreciation of character. Stedman and Stoddard read pcems, and Bayard Taylor sent s poem from his post in Germany. Scarcely was the poem published when the Cen- tury was mourning the singer, and the country heard of his death with universal tenderness of regret. At the time of Mr. Taylor's departure for Germany the Easy-Chair spoke of the character- 1stics which had given him his prominence and attracted to him such general esteem. He was a simpie, honorable, upright mun, with a lofty Jiterary ambition, and the most unwearied devo- tion to literary work. His literary endeavors were of the highest alm, and the_excetlenee of his work is indisputable. He was'the most {faitbful und honest of workmen, but his fricnds knew bim to be overworked. it is, indeed, hard fora literary man of warm. social sympathies, of a strong constitution, pressed by many wishes and tastes which can be gratified at Lis pleasure, if it be only bis pleasure.to work,—it_is bard for such a man, living in a city and amidst admiring and stimolative society, not to do more than he should -do, and easy to foreet, in the pride of his strenmth, that his streagth must be fostered. Taylor would sometimes, ferhaps often, toil laborionsly with his brain and his pen for more than twelve | hours, and then seek the relaxation of the clup, and the frienaly circle, and the cheerful conver- sation there. ‘These are the allurements, the - recreations, and the delights of the lizerary man, | but they are daugerous delights. They do uot recuperate, but still further exhagust, the vital cuergies which hard literary work has already depleted. Doubtless Taylor would have pre- ferred to take all the risks, even if risks had oc- curred to him; but his fulluess of life, and vigor, and hope .forbade all thought of more thau temporary . inconvenlence, while all losses were to be repaired by the ampler leisure and greater rest of life at the Lezation. But there was to be po other than the nn- brokeu rest; and it is touching to see that the biisy man was bllsf almost to his last moment, ald’sank tranquilly away, nnconscious that it was the end. ‘The sincerity of the general feel- ing ac bis death was # fitting tribute to the sin- cericy of the man.” But it was all expressed with exquisite pathos znd tender beauty in the little poem by Longfellow, which was read by Dr. Holmes at the memorial meeting in Boston, with some rarely felicitous words of preface. The Tremont Temple, one of the great halls in Boston, was crowded with those who wished to honor the memory of the traveler and the poet. Mr. Emerson, whose presence 1s always a ben- ediction, sat apon the platform; ~Whittier scent 2 letter: and Dr. Holmes, after a happy preface of his own, read the poem. It is impossible not to feel how prond znd glad the beart of Taylor would have been could he have Lknown that such men would offer such honors * 10 his memory. Dr. Holmes truly said of Longfellow’s verses: £ tribute from such a singer would houor the obsequies of the proudest sovereign,—would dd freshness to the laurels of the migbtiest conqueror.” He then read the poem, und we who were not there can imazioe what the read- ing must have been,—how tender, how puthetic, how melodious: H Dead he lay among hifs books, "The peace of God was in his looks. As the statnes in the gloom Watch o'er Maximilian's tomb, S0 these volumes from tneir shelves Watch him, eilent us themsetves. Al his hand will never more Tarn their storied pages o'er! s Never more his lips repeat Songs of theirs, however sweet: Let the lfeless body rést: He is gone who was lts guest— Gone as travelers haste to leave An inn, nor tarry until eve.
