Ior and that which we ought to do. As the body is of in finitely less capacity both for cultivation and enjoyment, so the eonceru we have for it should In* proportionately less The Great Creator has bestowed njion man the distinguishing characteristic mind that he should cultivate it, and by its expansion approach nearer and nearer the perfections of its origin—that he should show by its greater development the omniscience of its source. " For Clod him-iflf for wisdom most i* praised, And uuui I hereby lo God is nearest raised." The improvement of the mind—the immor tal man —should lie the paramount object, aud all else be made subservient. That our chief duty is to become momllv developed, to honor and glorify God our Crea tor. none will deny. As morality and religion are infinite in their results, so their claims are superior to ail others, and should l>c the great | aim in education. But mine is not the prov ince to give a sermon. We each know our duty on this point and acknowledge it, if not in words and actions, at least in unbiased thoughts. Besides moral obligations are not discharged so tnuch by the performance of any routine of actions, by engaging in anv class of works, as by the spirit that pervades those actions and the motives that prompt those works. One may perform every outward act and have every risible sign of the most sincere christian, and yet have a heart ns hlack as perdition itself. This leads to the conclusion that moral education would resnlt from the motives had in pursuing the intellectual. This mental culture has often been beautifully com pared to the sculptor, who by *ki!l and indus try from the shajieless mass hrinj- fortli the symetrical and beautiful statue : so the student who takes the chisel of application guided by the hand of prudence, and driven by an un conquerable will, will soon from the rude un cultivated mass of miud develope L>efore an ad miring world qualities and beauties lefore un known. And though the material of each may not admit of the same degree of polish, vet the same credit will be reflected to the skill and industry of the workman. But as the finished statue is only the rude mass shorn of its natural covering, so the cultivated intel lect shows the original mind when by the skill ful hand cf education it is brought from be neath its natural covering of darkness. We mav notice at this point some of the reasons whv education demands our greatest care, how it is best obtained, and some of the benefits that result from it. Why is it that upon every subject brought before the public there is such a diversity of action ? Why do some approve whiie others condemn ? Why do not the mass universally move in the same direction upon questions that call for their action? Why is it that every scheme which has good for its avowed object is looked upon by many with doubt, perhaps contempt, and its founders obliged to contend with storms of opposition ? In reply we would ask, may not these differences exist and yet both supporters ar.d oppusers be following the honest convictions of their own miuds, and en deavoring to follow that course which will produce the greatest good? Men differ in opinion, and their actions necessarily have a corresponding variation. In proof of this numberless instances might be mentioned, such as colonisation societies. teai}*erance laws, the common school system, the p-irsuit of the dif ferent branches of education, and the thou sand and oue moral and political questions that are now liemg agitated. Each of these has its able and honest advocates and opposers. Tnev follow the convictions of their own judg ments. and eouM all see in the same light uni te of action woubi characterize their move ments. the strength of union would bear down all ojiposition. genuine reforms would search out every aror.g, error and superstition would be swept away before the march of truth, and the enormous evils that now stalk abr ad at nooo-dav and prol about in the dark hours of night, would soon be banished from the worid by the triamjMi of the gospel. Is it not then an object of importance that there be unity of action ? But to seenre this there most be nnitv of opinion, and an;ty of opinion can arise only from a thorough unbiased knowl edge of the subject upon which it u exercised As men waudering in the dark pursue this or that course not knowing whither it ieaiU, so are they who form judgments without co ders tam ing Light ami a knowledge of the country lire necessary to the success of the traveler ; cultivated reasoning faculties and a near comprehension of the subject upon which they art exercised, are necessary to correct views. These can only be attained by exten sive and general information. As every per son is accountable for the course of conduct he pursues it becomes necessary that be be quale fied to investigate these pnwnpfcs thai arts it* PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT TOWANDA.

It is not mans privilege to base his creed upon the " ipse dixit' of some one else and thereby es cape the responsibility of the result; each must investigate, act, and stand or fall for himself. But the necessity of education is not confined to men alone, and my duty on this point were perhaps left unfinished should nothing be said of the education of females. I cannot, I dare not, hold (he idea that woman's sphere of ac tion precludes the idea of their being intellect uallv educated. Her nature and position mav require a different education, but one not less important. Her influence, though exercised in a quiet unobserved manner, is not therefore less mighty. She is the guide of our tender years, from her we receive our first principles, these which burn deep into the conscience aud make there an impression never to be effaced. A Washington, 11 Bonaparte and hosts of oth ers have paid noble tributes to her memory They have acknowledged their indebtedness, and blessed her influence. Shall we say that an influence so potent, bearing such mighty sway in everv department of human iife, moulding God's noblest work for weal or woo through time and eternitv, can we say that such an influence should not be laid in wisdom? I hold up both hands for the education of females, for every thing that tends to make them better aud wiser, ami shall rejoice when their acknowledged charms shall be sound sense and a good heart. It becomes necessary then that all be prepared to obtain correct views that their actions may be right, and the result joyous. But these important duties have not been placed upon man without ample means being given for their discharge. No obligation presents itself without away being provided in which it may be |>erfonned. The field of knowledge has been spread out be fore him that in it he may employ all his pow ers in seaching out its hidden treasures aud deep mysteries, finding ever something new and valuable, add being continually the more con vinced of its boundless dimensions and divine authorship. Here every faculty of the mind may lie cultivated and developed without limit. The greater the researches made, the more is brought within the scope of our understanding, the greater becomes the field for research, and the more extensive the Itoandaries of mvsterv In earliest school days we knew nothing be yond our primary lessons, these opened to the young mind other branches, higher and more numerous, each of these presented other and -till more numerous fields for investigation The more learned a man becomes, the more he sees to learn. The little dim tajier seems almost unable to force out it- feeble light, so close upon it is the thick darkness, but as it kindles and brightens the dark walls recede only to form a larger circuit, and the m<enefit.

Would Audubon have pursued tiie study of ornithology as far as he did from cold reasoning that the feathered tribe was -o nu merous, and that their structure and habits opened a field of snch va-t research ? Would Euclid bare pushed the study of geometry to such lengths as he did merely from the con viction that the rules of mensuration con! 1 l* demonstrated? Would Hugh Miller have studied his lite out iu penetrating the bowels of the earth, reading there the history of ages aud viewing the " Footprints of the Creator," -imply from the fact that he believed it could be done ? Would Ei ; hu Burritt have studied for years at his anvil, until ie had mastered fifty lan guages, merely because he knew those langua ges existed and that he could L-arn them ? We answer emphatically no Influences so lifeless could never have carried men through snch difficulties. A powerful.innate.God-girea lore* impelled them. An intense love for their ]ar tK-uiar calling, constituting a part of their na ture, moved them on to overcome all obstacles The plain and simple lesson taught by this, is, that genius should fmrsne the course nature has placed before it. This is not plain alike in all persons—some appear to have 110 particular heut of mind, but such seldom become of the first class in any business. Every one has ob served in the workings of his own mind, with what aridity souk work- are perused. eveu to the sacrifice of ease and iutere>t. wmle otuere oa the same subjects are duil and wearisome This shows that whatever woahi engage at tention must be put in an attractive form. As the various representations that adorn the child's primer give it an attractive air to him, so figures of speech ai.d flowers of rhetoric give beauty and interest to works for more ma tare minds. An ornamented graceful style in anv pcodoetion gives the same interest to the subject, tnat Site coloring does to the land scape. It is to this thai the writing* cf Ab bott, Headlcj, Macau*/ and Mrs. Stoweowe their absorbing interest. The facts in the his tory of N'apoieon. and of Britain, bad been ! stated a thousand times before these authors ' wrote, and may be stated a tfeow-aed in^r? more, without possessing one tithe of the in terest with which they have clothed them.— Slavery has been painted in truth aud fiction for ages, but uone of the works produce in the reader the intense excitement and absorbing interest that does Uncle Tom. But when the attractions of style have gain ed attention to the subject, dress becomes sub ordinate. and truth is drunk in with eagerness and delight, regardless of the colors in which it is clothed. To make this subject practical, the person who would commence a course of mental culture, and who has little or no taste for study, will do well to observe first what subjects are most pleasing to him, then attrac tive works should be procured, and soon such a love for study will be acquired that the soun dest works, on the most abstruse subjects, will be eagerly sought after. A taste or a disgust for education is, however, generally acquired l>efore the person has sufficient age to exercise his own judgment. It then becomes the duty of the parent and teacher to give the needed direction. And O ! how many thousands of promising youth have been turned from the right path just at this point ! The parent pinching his sixpence sends his child where it will cost least, buys him a cast off edition of some old book, or gets him none at all, keeps him at home half the time, and then boasts of: the great advantages he has given him. Of course the young mind soon concludes, and that rightly too, that if this is the way to edu cation, it is a hard road to travel, and having i no interest soon casts it aside. The teacher, because he gets five dollars for teaching Latin and only two for primary branches, puts the little fellow, as soon as he can read, into the | dry and to him nonsensical paradigms of La tin grammar. The child pores over his pennn, j prnn r, prtin tm, bonus, meiutr, op'imns, nntil his littie soul loaths it, and he says awav with 1 it, if this be education I want none of it.— While the sanctimonious teacher pocketing his V, consoles himself and amuses others with the great efforts he has made for the youngster's advancement. Efforts, indeed just such efforts as hanging rnilistones abont bis neck would hare been. S nce we are as : sembled here for mutual improvement as teach ers. you will pardon rue for snggesting a meth- j od that will perhaps be useful in awakening an interest iu pupil®. We all know how much more pleasing a -ulyect becomes when we hear it from the lips of a speaker, than when we read of it. The atteotion of auv one can be * gained by the relation of facts, while tin* -ame might lie about him in l>ooks from year to rear anil he would never think of looking at them. Let questions that are well calculated to awa ken the mind be introduced hy the teacher, and discussed orally before the scholars. Let inquiries be made of thMn, and subjects lw given npon which they can reflect, and seek information from others. Let these be again brought up, the various opinions giv-n, the rroqg of each shown and the right maintain ed. Will any say—we know no- what sub jects to introduce ?

And we are not left to struggle here alone. Every one |>o-sossing humanity has a deep and aUdmg interest in wnaterer tends to cultivate and improve his feiiow men. or ameliorate his condition. Though our nature be fallen far from its original purity and woefaMy depraved, yet it contain? sufficient of that element of its former archetype, which proclaimed " peace on earth and good will to all men," to cause every eye to sparkle and every heart to j*a!pitate, when the cause of human advancement is bpunght forward.

Mtn in possession of the power? that G *i has given him. is without excuse for not culti vating them. Let us glance at some of the re sults of education. The greater wages of edu cated workmen, ami the swanas of beggars that infest those countries where the education of th* masses is neglected, -how that it pre vents poverty. It lessens crim** in all its forms by giving a pleasing and p-otitable employnieut for leisure hours. It has been well said " Tue idler's head is the deTil's workshop," and it is , most tru° that the old fellow wili a" wars sug gest some of his wort to those whom he finds doing ooth ng Trace the history of our drunk ards. gamblers, robbers, munlercrs. ami fel lows of every grade, trace them back to the years of their innoceocy. mark their fir-t steps and progress in crime ; in ninety-nine eases out of a handred the leisure boor with its scene? of profitless amusement has, directly or indi rectly, been the caose. I need not here por tray the consequences of the social glass, and the so-called harmless games that are introduc ed iaio into fashionable circles—their efforts mar the face of naturv aberever tcaa is koowu Of themselves such pastimes may be inno cent —if it be right to waste the time God lias given for improvem-nt—but the appetites they create take hold on deep perdition. Dry up this fountain of iniquity by giving such em ployment as shall make each one sigh that he can not—as Joshua did—command the sun to cease its course iu the heavens while he shall pursue his work. It not only prevents crime, but gives a better preparation for every posi tion in life. Eminence in any business is al ways found connected with education in that business. It elevates the thoughts, makes of man, and gives him communion with his Creator. If " the poor Indian, with his untutored mind, sees God in the clouds and hears Hiru in tne wind,'' what magnificent con ception ot Deity must those have who can " read the glorious visions of the skies, and lis ten to the music of the rolling spheres.'' It governs po-itiou and standing in society. Did von ever notice with what precision the banker arranges his coin in different apartments, keep ing the gold secure, having less care for the silver, and disregarding almost entirely the copper, and with what promptness he regulates any irregularities that may occur ? Society is its own banker. It arranges with precision the different characters that compose it. If the low ana vile have the audacity to place them selves among the pure and worthy, how quick ly by common voice are they thrown back to their own class. If unpretending merit takes a low position, how eagerly is it sought out and given to its proper place There is this difference, however, between the moneyed and the social banks. In the former goid is un changably goid. silver is silver, and copper.cop per ; but iu the latter, by an alchemy unknown in chemistry, each one may change his charac ter from copper to silver, and from silver to the purest gold ,• or the most refined gold may pa-s through all the retrograding stages down to the most vile and debased. That good re sults follow education it is necessary that it be genera!—an education of the whole man. It is not sufficient that it be physical, intel lectual or moral alone, the three must be com bined, and neither can be otn.Ued without in jury to the others. Notice for a moment that almost auimated object—the locomotive. We stand amazed at its majestic ap|>earance, its strength, fleetness, and the thunder tones of its voice. But what good could re>uit from all its power, if the means through which that power must be applied were weak or broken. The steam may le abundant, the engineer may apply it in the best |K>s-ible man >er, but if the machine is defective the others will in a rres pondiug degree be rendered useless. Educa tion may !>e extensive aud governed by right motives, but if the physical man is weak—the health destroyed, it is cut off from its firid of usefulness. The eng ;ic in structure may l>e complete, the engineer as before, perfect, but if the -team be insufficient to give power, it will remain motionless and use'-ss, as do the thou sand- who are piod.iing the road of ignorance. Again—the naaehin ry is perfect, the steam ad equate to any ta-k, but the engineer is unwor thy. a drunkard, reckless of human life and happiness. Then the better the structure and the greater the power, the more certain and fearful the destrcetion. When the physical and intellect—l powers of mail are mignty. but his morals corrupt, to what terrible rum he rushes bearing u ith hna the destiny of thou sands. Behold now the perf>-ct machine, with power ex mil If XT. and gu.ded by the skillful engineer: view it as in the jirule and majesty of it strength with the fleetness of the wind it flits through the valiry, leaps over cha-ms, and plows through mountains, i>eariig with ten derest care to the desired station i's precious freight of life ; then mark the p-rfct man, with a physical frame capable of va.-t endu rance, a in ml that can grasp any -object, and a heart large enough to embrace the welifate of the whole race : a halo of glory —circle* his brow through life, and be quits tb.s luor tai existance " a* one who lies down to pleas ant dreams."

Heaven never granted a richer boon than health, and without which all other blessings are comparatively valueless. Yet it is often lightly esteemed and carelessly thrown away, and never fully appreciated until it is gone. I have seen the mistress of a splendid mansion, surrounded hv every luxury which wealth can command, lying upon her couch pale and mis erable, fretful and unhappy Within her reach were the most delicate viands and exquisite fruits, yet she could partake of none. Health was no longer hers. She had parted with it for the sake of gratifying her vanity, by wear ing thin shoes to display the beauty of her foot, and now when consumption was preying upon her she re|>ented her folly, but it was too late, and though she would willingly give all she possessed, Ihe priceless treasure could not l>e recalled The thin, ghastly looking gentleman, who reclines in his luxurious easy chair, with his gouty feet upon a pillow, sighs and groans in anguish, and thinks of the many weary nights of pain, when the lied of down aud silk en covering could firing him no repose. How he envies the plow-boy who whistles on the green fields, whose step is elastic, and whose heart is light and gay at his toil, while his sleep is sound and refreshing. What is wealth to the invalid but a bitter mockery which can yield no happiness! Then prize the rich boon of health, ye who possess it, and lift your heart in gratitude to God, even though your lot may be one of poverty aud toil. Cowrr orlßsß—This remarkable comet r sayr. Gould some weeks ago. It s now only one hundred and forty million- of miles distant, and is very rapidly approaching the earth, and already shows through a common op'ra-glass a well defined tail. We are told that during the first week in Octou-r the comet will be of the most strik ing brightness, possibly the largest of the cen tury, and at that time will be seen near Arc turns, perhaps even surpassing that brilliant star in splendor. It is now visible for about an hour after sunset and an hour before suu rise in a line with the two stars called the Pointers, and forming nearly a right angle be tween these and Aretnrus. It is now best Seen at + o'clock in the morning. Dr. Gould also suggested in the last nnmber of his Journal that from the sim.iarity of the elements it was possible that this comet was identical with the first comet of 1827. and al so that of 17b4. This fact seems now, from the recent observations, almost certain, afford ing a reasonable presumption that is a period ic comet, whose period is about thirty-oue years.
