'Mutational.
It is not to be expected that irt the ordinary
length of htmian life r any person can, from
his own oblervatictia and experience, become
perfect in any art or science. Indeed, to•
reach any considerable d egree
. of proficiency /
in any art or calling, a person must make use
of the experience of others who have acted
before him, as they have left it on record for
Ins instruction and benefit. If ii is true' ofnny
e mployment that no , one can reach perfec.ion,.
most assuredly it isse with respect to that of
school teaching; and any information. upon
0 important a sub;ect should be gladly re
ceived and carefully examined by all those
who think of embarking upon this profession.
It is indeed deplomb:e that so many are al
lowed to teach our schools who have so few
of the necessary, and often essential Analifica
tions requisite in a good teacher; and that
those who engage in teaching should take
so little pains to inform and fit themselves for
their business. In view of this, I would
recommend to the attention of school teachers,
school patrons, and school officers, the " The
ory and Practice of Teaching: by David D.
Page, A. M." It is by an experienced per
ton, and as the result of careful observation
and actual experience in teaching. The style
is familiar and attractive, and its reasoning
pointed and clear. Below are some extracts
from the work:
"Toe Misses OF STODY.—It is of quite as
much importance hose we study, as what we
we study. Indeed, I have thought that much
of the iii.ference among men could be traced
to their different Itab.ta of study formed in
youth. A large portion of our scholars study
for thesake of preparing to recite the lesson.
They seem to have no idea of any object
beyond recitation. The consequence is,,they
study mechanically. They endeavor to re
member phriseology, instead of principles;
they s:udy the book, not the subject. Let any
one en:er our schools and see 'the scholars
engaged in preparing their lessons. Scarcely
one will be seen who is not repeating over and
over again the words of the text, as if there
was a saving charm in repetition. Observe
the same scho.ars at recitation, and it is a
struggle of the memory to r..cull the forms of
words. The vacant countenance, too, often
indicates that they are words without me•tning.
This d,fficulty is very ranch increased. if the
teacher is confined to the text-book during
the recitation; and particularly. if he relies
mainly upon the printed questions so - often
found at the bottom of the page. The scholar
should be encouraged to study the subject; and
h:s book should be held merely as an instru
ment.- • Books are but helps' is a good motto
for any student.
A child may almost be said to be educated,
who has learned to study aright ; while one
any have acquired in .a mechanical way a
great amount of knowledge, and yet have no
profitable mental discipline.
For.this difference in children, as well as
in men, the teacher is more responsible than
any other person.
With ail the attachment which young pu
pils will cherish even toward a bad teacher,
and with all the confidence they will repose
in hint, who c in describe the mischief which
he can acconyi,di in one short term The
school is no place fora min without principle ;
I repeat. THE SCHOOL IS NO PL•CE FOR • MAN
1111rIOCT PR/NCIPLE.
"If there can be one sin greater than an
other, taa which heaven frowns with more
awful displeasure; it is that of leading the
young, into principles of error, and the de
luding practices of vice.
" • Oh, wo to those that trample on the mind,
That deatWess thing! 'They know not
what they do,
Nor what they deal with.'"
" Pcscruam - ry.—This, as a habit, is essen
tial to the teacher. lie should be punctual in
every thing. He should always be present at
or before the time for school. A teacher who
goes late into school once a week, or even
once a month, cannot very we!! enforce the
punctual attendance of his pupils."
lie recommends a knowledge of Human
Physiology in order that the teacher may at
tend to the health of the scholars. Also of
latellec:nal and Moral Philosophy.
" Every teacher should know something of
book-keeping,, at least by singe en.ry; and
a:so be conversant will the ordinary form.; of
biraness. The profound ignorance on 'his
subject among teachers is truly as.oni=hing.
Book-keeping should be a common school
studs."
The author recommends strongly that a
knowledge of the Science of Government be
made a requisite. Hie "Pouring-in Process,"
and "Drawing-out Process," give you, par
errs, a good idea of the manner in NN hick your
children are ()flea taught. His sections upon
" The more Excellent Way," and Waking
up Mind," are very instructive.
This work may be had at the book stores
in our village, and I hope none will neglect to
avail themselves of so good au opportunity
of acquiring useful instruction. _

EDUCATIONAL MEETING
At an educational meeting held in the
school-house in Lewisville on Wednesday
ecening, January 3, 1855, 0. A. Lewis was
appoin:cd Chairman, and Irwin Baker Sec'y.
The object of the meeting having been
stated to be an endeavor, in unison with our
fellow citizens of all parts of the county, to
awaken a new interest in the cause of cam.
mod school education; the Rev. Mr. Pradt,
our County SUperintendent, was called upon
for same suggestions pertinent to the occasion.
The Rev. gentleman entertained the audience
with an eloquent address, bring;ng home .to
the minds of all who heard it, the necessity
for an earnest and united effort to raise the
standard of improvement in our common
schools. Remarks were also made by H. H.
Dent, C. W. Ellis, Irwin Baker, and 0. A.
Lewis. After hear;ng the opinions of the
several speakers, the following resolutions
were offered and unanimously adopted 7:.
Resolved, That we are willing ani anxious
to join our efforts with the citizens of all parts
of the.r.onnty to promote the objects bad in
view ; and we earnestly recommend that meet
ings similar to this be held in every- school
district in the county, if practicable, to aid in
Preparing the public mind for suitable action.
Resulted, That minmes of this meeting be
sent to each of our county papers for public..
tion.

to . tlti.farmer from , grinding the grains
gi,rento his domestic animals. I - find'
inserted in the London Agrici ltural
/ Gazette--a work of- undoubted excel
lence, by the way—that-two horses, in.
every respect equal, were allowed
each five pi - nil:ids of oats, -daily, and
"hay enoagh"—amounting in all to
seventeen pounds of feed per diem.
For one of the horses, - the grain was
crushed., for the other nut._ One hun
dred parts of the. excrements, (solid)
of each horse were examined chemic
ally., on the fourth day after. the exper
iments were commented. The excre
ment from the horse fed on crushed
oats contained no traces of nutritive
matter, but merely woody fibre, mixed
with secretions . and salts. In that
produced by the other animal, one
quarter per cent of nutritive matter;
consisting of starch and 'gluten, was
found;arising, indubitably, from the
constitutional inability of the animal to
the perfect mastication of the grain;
an evil that must necessarily vary in
the magnitude of its results, with age
and rapidity of feedings No differ
ence was found in the excrement of
animals fed on chopped and unchopped
hay, though the facility of eating the .
former, and the con s equently greater
period of rest obtained, was a 'decided
advantage.—Germa 72 tO am Telegraph.
ANTHONY Buass.,--The Boston Tele
graph. has positive information that
Burns has been sold by Suttle to a
N'ortk.Carolina negro-trader fur $7OO,
and that a condition of the sale was
that be should not be sold to go North.
Suttle, it will.-be remembered, bad•
been_ offered, both in Boston and Vir
ginia, 81,400 for Burns, and bad re
fused, though he had previously pro-.
mised to accept that sum. We very
much doubt if such a fellow as this
Suttle would sacrifice $7OO from mere
love of revenge ; that difference, per
haps, bas been made up to him by
other parties on the ground that it was
a point of Southern honor that Burns
should never be redeemed from bond
age So Burns,whose rendition Mayor
Smith secured, was probably sent off
to the South-west, to be worked upon
a sugar plantation, about the same
time that Boston reelected Smith for
Mayor.—A. S. Standard.
WHAT AN INTELLIGENT SOUTHERNER
TIIINKS.-A letter received in this
city from a leading lawyer and one
of the largest'slaveholders in Ken
tucky, has the following signficant
postscript:
" Where is the Northern spirit?
Is Kansas to be a slave State? • Can
it be that the North will tamely sub
mit? That a single man should be
returned from the North, who favors
the Nebraska iniquity; is to me inex
plicable."
While an intelligent slaveholder en
tertains sentiments like these, we hope
allorthern newspaper may beallowed
to repeat them without being invidi
ously charged with ...Abolition' by

QUADRUPLE PUN.—One of the best
puns (or, as Mrs. Partington would
say double indentures) on record, is
made of the two Latin words to dotes

A WONDERECT. Dtscorcar has recently
been made by Dr. Curtis, of this city, in tho
treatment of Consumption, Asthma, and all
diseases of the Lung. We refer to " Dr. Cur
tis' Hygeana, or Inhaling Hygean Vapor and
Cherry. Syrup." Whh this new method Dr.
C. has restored' many Aimed ones to perfect
health ; as un evidence of which he has innu
merable certificates. Speaking of the treat
ment a physician says: It is evident that in-
Iming--Consiantly breathing an agreeab!e,
heating vapor, the medicinal properties must
come in direct contact with the whcde of the
anal cavity of the lungs, and tnus escape the
many and varied ch.inges produced upon
them when introduced into the stomach, and
snb,ected to the process of digestion. The
Hygena is for sale at the druggists' through.
out the country.

The Inhaler is worn on the breast under the
linen without the. least inconvenience—the
heat of the body being sufficient to evaporate
the fluid.

might be named. One package of the
