Oliver Cromwell's Head..

of Oliver Cromwell—not the mere skull, but.

there is verbal :and'.historical evidence to

at Hampt s on Court in 1658, gibing the strong=

his sincerity as a Christian. After, an im

The infancy and' the progress of buinan

been regarded in different periods. We can
_hardly bksurprised at the ,wonder excited by
the strange , and , weired apparitions of these
flaming stars; .rushing through the sky with
a train, remaining a few weeks or months,
and then; disappearing in those regions of
space beyond the kee of human eye. It l is
hardly to be wondered at that the poetteal
and popular should coincide, and that the
great English poet, in describing his dernontac
hero, should write thus, embodying: the cam-,
mon superstition. tin his description of the
devil.: .."
"Incensed with indignation, Satan stood _I:
Vaterrified, and like a comet burned, •
_ That Ares the length of Ophiuchus huge]

Shakes pestilence and war."
• The philosophy of Gallileo and Newton ex
plodedx the supposed connection of these bOd-
Ms with pestilence, famine and war,
„while
the irregularity of them bodies introduced a
new element of terror in the.danger of a col
lision; indeed the famous Whiston, one! of
the authorities of science at the begining I of
the last century, prognoSticated a crisis! to
our planet at the approach of one of these
bodies, while the early theorizers' in geolricy
accOunied for the •Deluge as well as the con
tortions and dislocations ofilie various strata
of the earth on the supposition ,of previcius
ring encounters of the earth, with comets.
This apprehension has been greatly dimin-
idled from closer investigations • into the
physical condition of dim bodies. Brilliant

delicate of the celestial balances, they elire

was within the sphere of Jupiter's satellites
without producing the slightest perceptible
change in their motion; while the-orhitS of
corgets are exposed to great alterations in
their eleinents by such approaches. A bare
possibility Joel 'exist, of the earl passing

at the flattery, like a fool, I went to wotl,

You're played truant; scud for school or ytfu'll

to turn the grindstone this cold day, but" to

Except those who are destitute of reason

We talk of educating the masses, while they
are educating themselves, either for good or
1 eJil. A person, unable even to read or write,

be has been busy educating himself, and the
results . of his works are seen in his character;
just as the . skillfulneis of, an architect is ex
hibited in 'the proportiOnti, of the building
tbat he planned. The' boy who runs in the
street- from mote till' night, subject to no
restraint, will surely educate himself. Ile

The important part in the training
children receive at home or at school, does
not consist in what is often designated "book
learning," because-- in after life thiS l4 book
learning" is discarded in part, and its place
supplied by facts and thoughts drawn from
experience alone, Thus the work of the
teacher has advanced as 'this. tr nth has be•
cotne more evident, and while it as none the
less arduous, itfis mote-honorkble and more
useful, because it seeks to make fastfox im
pressions upon the mind of the child. It be
comes important then that the children
have light: examples placed before them.
Practice and precept should join band in
band, if we would save any from vice to vir
tue. Gentleness and love will teach a child
to distinguish. .hetween the good and evil
promptings of his °sin uattire , to folio* the

But the tendency of things at the present

verse.
Some ',eight or ten winters since; Ex-
Governor'Everett, of Massachusetts, with the
late Amos Lawrence, , was, in a sleigh, riding
into Boston. As they approached a -school
house, a score elyoung boys rushed kilo the
street, to enjoy their afternoon recess. Said
tar elovertior to his friend, obierve
whethei : theset boys' make oboist:Wee to us;'as
we were taught • fifty yelp age, At the
same time he. expressed the fear that habits
of civility were less practiced than former
ly. As they paSsed the sehnoi . boUse; all

This is, perhaps, an extreme instance of the
unfortunate change which fifty 'years have
wrought in the habits of the young. In the
language, of Mr. litokheiti, the distinguished
Principe) of the Connecticut State Normal
School, "That more regard should be math.
rested by the yoling to rOles„of etiqtfette and
courtesy, must beadmitted by every observ
ing mind. There is too little reverence for
Age and authority; toielight a respect to laws
of both man and God. The transition from
boyhood to imagined manhood is, altogether
.too rapid, as by it the son placed
above the parent, and the taught become
wiser/ iii their mai estimation, than their
teschets; Boys in their undue anxiety to
be6bdie &ea; are neither men or boys, .but
forma - nee , peculiar race."--Report of Rev.
