Tbe Object of True Teurning’. The object is to beget manhood ; the means are indifferent, so that the end is seemed. ; How shall it be done'/ How docs the sou of;tlie poor man rise amid ail his disadvantages of birth and position to wealth, eminence, and honor / By labor. How does the son qif the wealthy, in spite of all his .advantages, descend to poverty, disgrace and reproach ? Through his in ability to labor. Without books or schoolmasters, the one is educated and ele vated ; with them, the other is depressed and degraded. The difference is, labor. The one is able to comply with the first great law of his being ; the other is not. Labor is. therefore, education in its truest sense. The man wHo knows not how to labor, knows nothing ; the man who knows how to labor, * has within his reach the elements of everything. Hu who has not learned to support himself by indus try —which not merely includes the kuowl edge of some branch of human employ jueut, but the capacity to apply himself 4° it for the production of substantial re sults —is, however elaborately, he may have penetrated into books of science, un instructed in' that which is, and will be, until the entire constitution of humanity is changed, the thing, of all others, first in importance to mankind. Jjet not the poor boy, weary at the plowfail, or in the workshop, and longing for learning, re ■pine. His labor, and the I abits of Co'ise eutive industry which he is acquiring, are the best of ail education —the highest foundation of personal independence, with out wh ch there is no manhood ; and his very longing tor that knowledge which seems beyond his reach is, of itself, dis cipline ot no common value. What the mind goes out eagerly for, it either gets, or its equiva.ent; (qnd t e man who ear nestly strove tor excellence, however mea gre his means and . opportunities, never failed of |iis reward in a commensurate im provement. LOCIS PLACE The of consecutive schooling, year after year, wiih the expectation of making the educated and useful man, is undoubtedly wrong, and will often end in disappointment, 'ihe child put to school at an early age, readily masters the rudi ments—letters; reading, and numeration —which ; require little more thuu an ef fort of the men ory. His mind then man ifests a disposition to rest, the activity of bis nature befog transformed to his physi cal organjan.tion. if then he is pressed forward to tasks and lessons, both body and mind; are liable to be dwarfed and rnaiToaedjby iHe process, and instead of en largcraen t, ;cpn tract ion is the almost cer tain result. jHis capacity to learn, as by the judicious,; it is sometimes called, is simply a temporary continence of memory, acquired at the expense of the other facul ties. Nojv Isi the time to teach him labor. This is indicated by the expansion of his body and; its demand for active employ-, ment. Tjbe labor should be a productive kirjd, and fitiqh: as requires attention and the endurance pt fatigue, without overtax ing bis c,Qer«£cg and driving him to indo lence through idisgust. The demands of the body bonk? satisfied, the mind again awakes, and thius, instead of being oppo sing elemjeuts the progress of the man tuqtards his perfect condition, each acts as the' friend «n| duxillmry of the other, and expansion imd- development’ go on effi ciently s^metrically.— flekry Heed.

They appear to belong to a band oi thieves, and the following as the oathj of the clan : “ In the name of the Power above, and in the name of all his hosts of angels and ministers, wht-m I invoke to bear record of my words; in the name of him below, whom wc fear and whom we hate, I swear: “ I swear that from this moment to the end of my life I devote myself, without any reserve, to the fancy reform ; that I will never leave it without the consent of niy captain; thiit in sickness or in heal h, in adversity or prosperity, I will never leave, quit, or resign, without the consent of my captain. 1 will obey my captain, even unto death, in all transactions ; I will be found by the laws, he has established, and in all my doings I will act in strict conformity with the regulations he has made; and I invoke these powers, in the event of my failing to fulliiil this, my oath, to shower down all the curses to which human nature is susceptible; may all the maladies in which lingering wretches who crave to die still exist, be my fate; may my days be restless, my nights sleepless, the pains and ggonics of hell goad me ou to desperation, my limbs wither Irom my body, my body paralyzed with sickness, my : breatli tainted, my eye balls sightless, my soul damned, if I fail in anything 1 have sworn ; but ail I im plore that your power to shower upon me ten thousand times the miseries that mor tals ever imagined, if I, by word, thought, or deed, or design, betray one of my breth ren or captain, or raise my hand or voice to witness against him in a c urt of jus tice, may my tongue rot from its rout to, the lip, and leave me a speechless liar, if I am in this guilty; but I swear to state all that is false, unless the truth can ben efit the prisoner ; to this in all and every part I swear; to every word and sentence I swear, by Him above, by him below, by all that rules, by all that serves, I swear.” (Jiiicinuati inquirer. A young French officer thus wri.es of his first experience in battle : “ Oup officers kept us back, fur wo were not numerous Snough to charge upon the enemy. This was, moreover, most pru dent, for this murderous fire —so fatal to the white coats —did us but little harm. Our conical ba is penetrated their dense masses, while those of the Austrians ij;hisi!eri past our ears ami respected our persons, it was the first time I had faced fire, nor was 1 the only one. Well. lam sati-fied with myself. True, I dodged the fir-t balls, but Henry IV., they say did the same at the beginning of every battle. It is. in fact, a physical effect, indepen dent of the will. “ But. this tribute paid, if you cold on ly feel how eacli shut electrifies you. It is like ,a whip on a racer’s legs. The balls whistle past you. turn up the earth around you, kill one, wound another, and you hardly notice them. You grow in toxicated, the smell of gunpowder mounts your brain. The eye becomes bloodshot, ami the look is fixed upon ihe enemy. — There is something of all the passions-in that t rrible passion excited in a soldier by the sight of blood and the tumult of battle. Everybody who has tried it, testifies to the peculiar intoxication that is produ ced by bei Her in a battle. There is an in fatuating influence about the smell of pow der. the shrill whistle of a bullet, and the sight of hiimiln blood, that instantly trans forms men fioni cowards to heroes—from women sometimes to monsters. None can tell of the nature or mystery of that influ ence but those who have been in the fray themselves.” Dying. —benjamin F. Taylor, of the Chicago Journal , draws the following beautiful picture in reference to the cer tain departure for that ‘ £ undiscovered country “There is a dignity about that going away alone, which we call dying—that wrapping of the mantle of immortality about us ; that putting aside with a pale hand the azure curtains that are drawn around this cradle of a world ; that ventur ing away from home for the first time in our lives : for we are not dead ; there is nothing dead to speak of, and seeing for eign countries not laid down on any maps we know about. There must be lovely lands somewhere etarward, for none ever return that go thither; and we very much doubt if any would if they could.” ' Husband ..and Wife —Between yon two let no third person come td share the secret grief or joy that belongs to your two hearts alone. Let neither father, mother, brother, nor sister he the. confi dant of that which concerns your domestic peace. Bear all things,; euner all things j but in silence and sadness. 'Let a moment of alienation, or years of estrangement, he healed and forgotten moments and yeaifts of intense love j hut never let the wall-# be ImilV up Tbe Feelings in Battle. A Tough Story, There is jr place iir Maine so rocky,tbai when the down eastern plant : corn, they ihey look for crevices in the rooks, and shoot the grains in with aj musket; can x ’t raise ducks there no ho't, for the stones arc so thick that the ducks can’t' get their bills between them to piok.up the grasshoppers, and the only way that' the sheep can get at the sprigs of grass is by grinding their noses on a grindstone. Rut that ain't a circumstance'to a place on the Eastern shore; there Ibnd is so poor, that it takes two kildeas to say ‘‘ kildea; ' and on a clear day yqu cun see the grasshoppers climb up a mulfen stalk, and look with tears in their eyes over a fifty acre field ; and the humble-bees have to go down on their knees to get at the grass; all the mosquitoes died of starva tion. and the turkey buzzards had to emi grate. But there is a county in Virginia which can bea* that, —there the land ia.so sterile that when tbe wjud is at the northwest, they have to tie the children to keep them from being .blown away ; there it takes six frogs to see a man, and when the dogs bark they have t> lean against the fence y the horses are so thin that it takes twelve of them to make a shadow, and when they kill a beef they have to hold Him up to knock him down I But oh !—there is a region in Jersey, saith Moes Daper, where they held a two weeks jubilee in the churches, because it was announced that a fresh blade of grass had sprouted in the southern part of the county. There the natives once murder el a traveler for the sake of half a ginger bread cake, which he was rumored to have in his pocket and there, too, they turned a man “ out of meeting” because after a visit to Philadelphia, he reported that while in the city he had had at one lime as much as he could eat. Sitch is life. Gloqueat oiiract. The best thing yet written by Edward Everett, in his “ M.ount Vernon Papers,” is an article on the late After describing its approach to the earth and the beautiful picture it presented, he says; “ lieturn, then, mysterious traveler, to the depths of the heavens, never again to be seen by tin; eyes of men now living ! Thou host run thy race with glory I Millions of eyes have gazed on thee with wonder -—but they shall never look upon thee again. Since thy last appearance in these skies, empires, language and races of men have died away ; the Macedonian, the Al exandrian, the Augustan, the Parthian, the Byzantine, the Saracenic the Ottoman dynasties have sunk or s.nk'qg into the .-'•lt of ages. Since thy last appearance old continents have relapsed into ignorance and new worlds have come out from be hind the level ol waters. 'J he Ma ia.ii fires are quenched on the hill tops of Asia ; the Chaldean is blind ; the Egyptian hiero graiuist.has lost his cunning; the Oracles are dumb Wisdom now dwells in the farthest i hules, or' in . newly discovered worlds beyond the sea. Haply, when wheeling up again from thfef celestial abysses, thou art once more seen by the dwellers of the earth, the language we speak shall be forgotten, and science shall have fled to the utmost corners of the earth. But even there His hand, that now marks out thy wo-drous circuit, shall still guide thy course; and then, aslfiow Hes per -,vi;l smile at thy approach, and Ardu ous with his sons rejoice at thy coming.” A Do;uc Gkm,—ln the way of true,; forcible and poetic similes, thfj following, by Adeial dc Proctor,; has not been often surpassed: A boy is speaking of the in fantile recollections of his dead mother : Tlie mere thought Of her great love for me has Drought Tears in my eyes. Though faraway, -. It seems as it were yesterday. And just ns when I look on high ; Through the blue silence the sky. Fresh stars shine out. aud more and more Where 1 could see-so few before; So; the more, steadily I gaze. Upon those far off misty Jays, Fresh words, fresh tones, fresh memories Start before my eyes and in my bfcirt.
