LORD CHESTERFIELD'S LETTERS.
[HY TUR VERY REV. W. A MOL).
J
I have been reading again some of Lord Chesterfeld's famous letters to his illegitimate son, Philip Stanhope. I sup 'pose we all wish sometimes that we wore living in the 18th Century, when louroly and good-tempered wars hardly ruffled the surface of a society which was secure, comfortable, and tolerably' contented. The contemporaries of Dr. Johnson, wore never driven to ask themselves, as we are, weather civilization is mortally sick. It would have been a pleasant time to live in if one had the sense not to eat and drink to excess, to avoid duels, and, above all, to keep out of the clutches of the 18th Century doctor, who, if he found a man with his throat cut, would prob- ably, open a vein in some other part of his body.
Lord Chesterfeld's letters suggest that the perfect nobleman of that age might be a very imperfect gentleman. He is intensely ambitious for his son, and is can- vinced that in this country "no man can be of consequence who is not in Parliament." But in politics, and at | Court, climbing and crawling are perform- ed in the same attitude. The man who wants to get on must be attentive, and civil to the women he dislikes, and to the men be despises in hopes of the applause of both." He must "frequent those good houses where he has already a footing. and wriggle. himself somehow or other iato every other." At 'Berlin Philip is to say flattering things of his Prussian Majesty to those who are most likely to" repeat them. **Acquire conádènce by seeming frankness, and proft" of it by silent skill." *
A PRODIGY OF LEARNING.
Sometimes he becomes quite edifying, keep your moral character mullied, and it will be unsuspected." But an un. sallied moral character, it appears, is compatible with an attempt to corrupt a young married lady, "who has hither- to been faithful to her husband,” though she has been married more than a year. Il faut décrotter cette femme."
The redeeming feature in B base character was his love for the young man' to whom he gives this infamous advice. Convinced that there is nothing except Footry which cannot be acquired by sedu lous application, he subjected the boy to a regimen as severe as that which was applied"; to Frederick the Great on John Stuart 'MHI. From Leipzig (his tutor writes me word that he has barely time to eat, drink, and sleep. The boy was not only to be proficient in all the chief modern languages, and in Latin. It is Greek that much dis tinguish you in the learned world; Latin alone will not." In the intervals of these severe studies he was to inform him- self about the French marine at Toulon,. and of their commerce at Marsailles. At Rome bo was to mix with the Jesuits, from whom there is much to learn. Curiously enough, his father did not realize that a foreign education was a bad preparation for an English Parlia mentarian. Poor young Stanhope, wha at 80 was a prodigy of learning, was a dead failure as a speaker in the House of Commons Nor did he ever rival his father in the disingenuous graces.
* The dancing-master is at this time the man is all Europe of the greatest importance to you. Learn to loll genteelly.” Philip could not loll' genteelly.

Young Stanhope seems to have been a man of fair ability, and with such power- ful backing might have had a såccessful career, but he died early, after being for some years secretly married.
