Il lustrated and Engraved by C h a u n c k y B . T h o r n e . p p . 82. A n d r e w J . G r a h a m , Author and Publisher, No. 274 Canal street, New York. Every genuine sign of Progress is a solid reason for human hope. Mankind do not naturally hope for anything without some substantial foundation. The intellectual faculties demand a basis—a mathematical point o f departure—otherwise they instinct ively refuse to exert their legitim ate powers. Thc mind is full of aspirations for conscious advancement, discovery, and victorious suc cess ; and it will n o t be satisfied with anything less obvious than a highway leading unmis takably to such destinations. Now it seems to us th a t Mr. Andrew J. Graham has furnished the true point of de parture. The broad way opened up by him, through the forest wild6 of the English Lan guage, appears to be the “ straight” and am ple ‘‘wav’’ to a cosmopolitan reform of incal culable benefit. His phonographic principles and scientific elaborations are teeming with genuine “ signs” of progress not only, but they seem to o u r mind as a foundation, both sure and steadfast, for the uprearing of a world-wide Alphabet and universal language. His very systematic and comprehensive work entitled “Hand Book o f Standard Phonography ,’ ’ is an epitome of the great revelation. As soon as Phoneticians shall unitedly de vote themselves to the construction of a Pho netic Alphabet—simple, beautiful, scientific, and natural—sufficiently comprehensive to represent each and all of the elementary sounds possible to thc li^iman Voice—then may the nations rejoice, for the day of their redemption from the “ confusion of tongues” draweth nigh, and the young of America will be obliged to learn the absurdities a n d incon gruities of the Romanic or English language no more forever. The human mind, young o r adult, is natu rally imitative. To some extent it may be said th a t picture-language is congenial to this attribute. It is natural to learn by represent ation, by association, and by comparison or analogy. If there could be discovered and fixed an analogy between forms and the sounds, our children would learn to read and write and pronounce, with delight, those very numerous words which now are ever-present stumbling- blocks iiji the walks of education. Analogy of forms to represent analogy of sounds—a picture whereby the eye may educate the ear —seems to be the n atural and universal need. Mr. Isaac Pitman, of London, has rendered the world a lasting benefit; his efforts and successes in the Phonetic system can never be too highly appreciated. Many American Phonographers also—far less known to fame than they should be—are entitled to the thanks and gratitude of every friend o f edu cation. Phonography is an innovation. It is full of the fire and zeal of the NEW ! Its first apostles were, and many of them continue to be, members of the philological Church mili tant. Almost every short-haud writer, every phonographic reporter, every m ind that has mastered the mystic signs and scientific enig mas of the new system, is inclined to taste of the other branches of nineteenth-century Re forms. We allude to this fact as a powerful recommendation of the a rt, to the progressive classes, although it is more than probable that “ the few honorable exceptions” to the rule will not thank us for it. Mr. Graham’s “ First Standard Phono graphic Reader,” which is the third of a series of phonographic text books, is a beautiful work of art, engraving, and thought. The signs, or “ characters,” are beautiful in them selves, but when wc come to find, by means of a deeper investigation, th a t the ‘ ‘ Reader’ ’ contains many of the best poetic and prose selections of English literature, the intrinsic value of the work is a t once greatly enhanced. The opening lesson—in beautifully engraved phonographic characters—is, “ What I Live for a soul-cheering a nd ennobling selection, beginning with— “ I live for those who love me, For those I know are true ; For tlie heaven that smiles above me, And awaits my spirit, too: For the human ties that bind me; For the task by God assigned rne; For the blight hopes left behind me' And the good that I can do.” At first glance we did not recognize the features of the favorite lines, b u t the eye soon becomes accustomed to the improved and su perior dress, and the additional mission of the poetry is an end which the poet could not have foreseen. The beauty and economy of phonography are vividly set forth by these examples. Among other valuable selections we notice the “ Immensity of thc Universe” —a valuable astronomical paper—w ritten by a correspondent of this journal, Mr. David Trowbridge. In fact, the moral, poetic, and intellectual instructions conveyed in connec tion w ith these Phonographic Lessons, arc, per st, worth the price affixed to the publica tion, and we are satisfied th a t no genuine friend of hum an progress will turn away from an effort embodying so many lasting blessings and benefits to the cause of true education. “ Acorn,” in a very interesting letter to the Spirit of the Times, speaking of the strong man. Dr. G. B. Winship, says: “ His hand is as firm and steady as a bar of steel! As an illustration of this, he is one of the best pho nographic short-hand writers in the country. He has already reached a speed of one hun dred and eighty words a minute. He has practiced this art, (which he mastered with out a teacher) a little more than five years. Tlie newness, naturalness, and obvious economy of the true phonographic system, arc beyond controversy. That thc popular method of spelling is< philosophically absurd, is equally beyond disputation. The new sys tem can be rapidly acquired; the old, or pre sent Romanic jargon—never, perfectly. A correct reader and writer of thc English language is a rare scholar. Very few spell correctly, even in thc highest walks of litera ture and learning. Let none of our provin cial correspondents be disheartened, there fore, if they do not combine their letters ac cording to the Dictionary ; although we shall esteem correct orthography, however arbi trary in thc light o f phonography, as a great kindness botli to our compositors and thc great Republic, our readers. That wc are friends of a n improved system of spelling may be inferred from the fact th a t several of our editorial circle use the phonographic charac ters for signatures. Apotheosis. “ Death is b u t a kind and welcome servant, who un locks with noiseless hand life's flower-encircled door, to show us those we love.\ For tlie Herald of Progress. D e p a r t e d : From Randolph, Cattaraugus Co.,N.Y., on the 10th of July, E m m a It. L a t i i a . m , aged seventeen years and three days. An only d aughter is called thus early to the Spirit Home, and her mission o f love to the stricken earth-friends may have already commenced. Miss Libbie Lowe, a trance speaker of about the same age as the departed, delivered a truly interesting and satisfactory funeral dis course. For the Herald o f Progress. D e p a r t e d : From the m o rtal organism, July 13th, 1860, M a r y D a n i e l s , aged ninety- two years. She had long been anticipating the glorious birth into spirit life, and left without a struggle. One more bright link is added to the imm o rtal chain th a t binds our souls to heaven ; one more sweet kindred spirit watches with love-lit eyes our earth career, and, with magnetic touch, will guard the loved from danger. Lyman C. Howe, under the guardianship of the angels, served a t the funeral, and it did indeed seem as though the windows o f heaven were opened, so overwhelming were the floods of inspira tion which came in burning eloquence from the speaker’s lips. W hen he ceased our hearts were full of thanksgiving, and none but tears of joy were wept when we gazed upon the smiling face of the earth-medium, through which a soul had bqen fitted for the upper home. Once our sweet guest—an angel now— We miss her morn and even, But mourn her n o t! with star-crowned brow She l i v e s and l o v e s in Heaven ! _________________ L. L. For the Herald o f Progress. D e p a r t e d : To the blest land of bright spirits above, on Monday, June 25th, M a r y L o u i s e , infant adopted daughter of William E. a n d Mary A. Koch, aged three months. Farewell, sweet Lulu, till we m eet again ! Thou wert too good for earth, my pet; and thine own m other, having the stronger right, took thee by the hand, and whispered in thine ear, ‘ ‘ Come, Victor w ants his twin sis ter, and m o ther wants her darling, l'ouliave sweetened the hours of your foster parents for a few months, now, come home ; I feel th a t we three should be together. Your elder sister with the other earthly m o ther may stay a few m o n ths more, perhaps years, but I would like to have her here too.” I am left desolate, though I m u st not m ourn. I can only s it a n d wish, not th a t she were back again, but th a t she had been left. She came, and went, like a bright comet, shooting athw a rt my sky for a few weeks, then passing away, to brighten again in another sphere.
