If childrer are often absent they will
fall - behind their - class-rtiates in the ir stu
dies, and Onsequently, lose much-of their
interest intbem, and-perhaps, acquire an
actual dislike for school arid all its exer
cises. Of irfecessity most of the instruc-:
Lion 'in large schools must Ire given to
whole clasSes and not to individual schol-,
ars.- Yout children receive their school,
knowledge in this way. It is very. essen
tial for the progrois-of a class, and its in
dividnal members,Ahat no scholar be ab
sent trent4 a single recitation—for, Ire
quently, the loss of a single lesson may,
impair a scholar's interest and advbco-;
ment for *whole term. Let me take an,
instiire,e to' illustrate thiS. I hay.e a class'
in Aritkmetic, and it is often• necessary;
for me to explain some principles, the
(dear unde*tanding of which by 'the pupil
will serve as a key to subiereut lessons.:
To-day I occupy some time in explaining

Certainly one tivo'things.. I must ei

School needs,) and repeat the:explanations

043 true and sole 'cause for suck indiffer
ence and lingnishirig, is to bis traced to
their frequent absence, Is it also true,
that truantisrn, that most tiernicione 'and
destructive habit, sometimes has its ori
gin, in the trivial importance which is at
tached to constancy of attendance, as man
ifested in- the slight entities which occas--
ion absence, and by which children are in . -
ilueed to believe that the loss of a school
day is no cionsequeimet:Jfjthis is el/pr.
the -case, let, the dangers that cluster
around the 'truant's path—dangers !with
' er few nor ethall r - - urge you Serimisly to
reflect, and wisely and seasonably to - -act..
But I haVe leave.,this head for your more
extended consideration, and, proceed to
notice one or two prominent objections to
- unseasonable 'attetidanee • this I will do
-with much brevity. ° •
children' are allowed to be tardy in
their _attendance at' school, thiii - will be
prone to undervalue punctuality in other
affairs.. Children 'should be, t aught to
look upon their school-rooln as their work
shop—the place of business for them, and
no concern 'of secondary nature should be
allowed to interfere in the leak degree.. It
is extremely desirable that you Impress
strongly upon the minds of yeur children
w
the fact, that what isorth 'doing at,all,-
should 'be done welt and at the proper
time.' Teach them that punctuality in the
discharge of every duty lit of the highest
itimokance=--and if you train them to ob
serve it punctiliously in relation to their
school,. they will be likely•to do the same
in everyduty of subsequent life. In this
way they will form a habit of inestimable
value. .
But I haVe considered the habit of un
seasonable—attendance only in relation to
its*effect upon" him . who tresspasses. I
will.briefly allude to another objection to .
that habit, which is, that children who en
ter the -school-room at a late hour, inter
rept the order of the school, and interfere
with some Tossing. • exercises,
.in which,
perhaps, they should have a part; Thus
a ,whole school is often made to -stiffer
fro' the deviation of a few. In. some
schools much time is actually lost on.etich
half of the day by the dilatoriness of sotne •
individual members. You have doubt
less, noticed the, effect-upon a congrega
tion at church, caused by the late en
trance of persouS, and I will leave this
point by merely suggesting the analogy
between the two to your own 'mind—be
ing-convinced that-due reflection will in
duce you to regard-the whole Matter in
its true light, and act accordingly.
Before closing this subject, i will call
.your attention to one more evil, similar
m its -ellects to that' we have just consid
ered. allude to the habit of 'leaving
school before the regular "hour of dismis
sion. • Children very often bring notes re
-questing their disfinssion at early hour,
and if all such requests, in some schools,
should be complied- with,' the exercises of
:the last - hour would be constantly inter
rupted by these who should thus !ewe..
I wish now to suggest a-few other par
ticulars in which I, earnestly and respect=
fully, solicit your hearty. coZ)peration.:—
When you send your children to school it
is your wish, doubtless, that they make
much improvement as possible. That
'they may do so they need all the encour
agement and ussistance which our united
efforts and wisdom• can render. Ifeither
of us is negligent or indifferent, the child
ren must suffer for. it. I will proceed
therefbre to designate a few of the points in
which 'you can do your children good, and
greatly aid me in'. the discharge of my
school duties.
2. Lncourntte your children to respect
and obey the rules and. requirements of
their tender..
This is highly necessary for their prop
er advancement and happiness while at
schciol. Induce them to look upon their
instructor as their and your friend, and to
regard all his regulations as designed for
their good. If in any of my arrangements,
or in the execution of my plans, you shall
`think have erred, or that your children
have Aufferea, or been neglected, you will
confer
. a favor by, making known to me,
freely, your feelings or apprehensions.—
Cothe in the spirit of kindness, and I will
promise to receive you kindly, and an
swer every reasonable inquiry. I may
sometimes err; it will be stratigi if I do
,not. Perhaps you\feel that yon sometimes,
misjudge, or act unwisely in the manage
ment. of your _own children. Will you
consider that I am called upon to control
and. instruct the collected families of the
neighborhood ? I have under my care a
multitnde, whose home influences - and dis
cipline are wideirdifferent.l The children
from, no two families are alike. Yet they
must be waited and governed as one
large family. Sonic are mild, kind,- an&
affectionate- ever - anxious to know and
ready to 444 every wish of:their teacher;
while` otheis are rough, unci'mrteous, and'
• obstinate ; 'apparently most pleased when
they are doing wrong, intertypting the
schoOl, and annoying their iiniftructor.—:
These opposite character's end elements
actually exist in most schools,. and it
would be wonderful, indeefl, if ; teachers
could decide and act upon every occasion
and in every emergency,. inl such manlier
as to meet universal approyal I feel that
I may sometimes do wrcmi. Let us re
member that "to err is hnman—to for
'give, divine."- But' so long as you have
sufficient confidence in the school and its
operations, to Induce you to send your
children, let• me beseech , You to teach
them to regard every - rule and requisition
with conscientious strictnesS. , lii this way
-you may do much for me 'and • much for
them. If you hear report's from. your
• children, (and this should, be done with
much caution,) or otherwise; reflecting
1 upon the management of - the school or
treatment of individual menibers, do riot
too readily confide in anion hear. If,
however,
you ,really think -there is good
ground for such reports, call, uptin me and
ascertain 'ell "the partiolars, rememberifig -
the somewhat trite sayings, that "there
are_ two 'sides' to a question," and that
"circurristancesidter cases."' If 'yoriptir
sne this course "in the.'spirit of love and
kindness, you will in most cases - find that
• exaggerations and - perversion's have been
made; sometimes, perhaps, intentionally,
but more frequently from the misnintee:
standing mlaconception- rougAr
childhood. • - •
3. Uncoil age your children to be order
ly, and studiously to regard'the right.
Youth sr frequently tempted by the
example of vicious associates to violate
the rules of good behavior, and spend
their time itl idle mischief or vain pursuits.
As you (=apt always keep them removed
from pernicious influence and depraved
companions, do all in your power to form,
in them-en bliorrence of all that is evil,
and a deep regard for everything that is
"lovely.and of , good report.' So train
them that they may come in contact with
vice withoi4 being contaminated; nay
more than this, that their' own upright
conduct and 'pure conversation may
,exert
'a salutary influence upon those who 'mani
fest no lovelier virtuous acts. Improve
every fit opportunity to bring before their
mindsthe ruinous consequences of vicelind
idleness, and at the same timq show them
that " wisdom's Ways are-pleasantness and
all her paths are peace." •Teach them to
avoid trifling deviations—to do right at
1 all tittles and on all 'occasions, because it is
right, and bemuse by so doing they will
be more happy abdusefil. - i Teach them
that it is better to "suffer wrong than to
do wrong,", land that .the fact that wrong
has been done to them, is no reason Why
- they should; do wrong in. 'return: Tell
them that kindnesS will allay wrath, and
that it is mere noble and manly to return
"good for evil," than to give "reviling
for reviling." -
As you meet your children-at the close
of the day, improve a few minutes in con
versing with them respecting the manner
in which they have spent the day.- Ask
them to reflect and consider if they have
not done some works which "need to be
repepted of," and direct them to-the au
thor of their 'existence for pardon, and to
the fountain of all wisdom forfnture gui
dance and support. Then may you hope
to ' it ee them become an honor and bles
sing to you and to the community.
4. , Encourage your children to be studi
ous by manifesting en interest in their
•
lessons.
Improve every suitable occasion to con
verse with them concerning their studies,
and do all you can to convince thein that
the more diligent'anif faithful they are
now, the brighter will be their prospects
for future usefulness and happinesS. Do
all in your power to inspire them with a
love for knowledge as a source of gratifi
cation. and improvement.. In the morn
ing, enjoin upon them the importance of
diligence during the hour of school, and
at night inquire respecting•the studies of
the day, and ascertain what new ideas
have been acquired, what facts have' been
stored up, what ditlicultiesovercOme.. In
duce them to examine; to investigate, to
think:. In a word, do all you can to cause
them to feel the Went advantages of edu
cationand the necessity for pa
iient, open
cation to obtain it. Yoti will thus in
terest and cause them to regard] with
pleLure, exercises that would otherwise
appear dull and. unimportant.
5. Improve every occasion in visiting
the school. • ,' •
In thiS way you can do much to stimulate
and cheer your children and their teach
er. I da.not ask yon to come that you may
assist in conducting the 'exercises of the
school—but come to see and to hew, and
tints give some real evidence that y6ll feel
an interest in the subject of education.—
Children often attend school montif.after.
month, and see no• parent ,within the
room. .The teacher urges upoitteir con
sideration the great value of knowledge
day after day, and repeats his earnest de
sire for their improvement, but often his
words and interest are almost nentraliied
14 the indifference and-inattention of their
dearest friends. They begin to think that
education is of little consequenceiand that;
it matters not whether they are industri
ous.or idle.
As they never see their parents within
the school-room, they begin to think that
the•teacher is the only person interested
in their progress,_ and .that, he is so be,
cause it is in the " - Way,of his business."
Hence a teacher's injunctions and exam
ple often fall, powerless. for the Want of
the quickening influences of a parent's in
terest, and a parent's endorsement.
. If therefore you have never - been in the
habit of viiiting yout children's school; let
hie 'affectionately inifte yottic do so. ' It
will increase your own interest' and re
double theirs. Wheneveryou may have
&leisure hour,*.will you not Come and
spend it with your children, and. listen to
their recitations? DependuPon it,'if you
will adopt this habit; their•zeal and stndi
ousness.• will be• greatly increased, and

Much of the unhappinesi and trouble
of life come from a spirit of selfishness, a
feeling that everything'inust yield to one's 1
own desires, regardless of time or eireAlm
stances. It is sometimes the. Case that
children are indulged_in, every 'real and
imaginary i vessx, at home; and. when they
go to school or elsew.liere,. they feel sadly
.slighted .or injured, if they cannot enjoy
similar indulgences. Such will meet with
trouble and disappointment at every step.
May we not then cooperate in eudeav:

rights and wishes of. others, and to treat

It was a cold wintry day.', Heavy
stow drifts Jay piled on the streets of Vtew
York, dad the whole appearance of thuzity
was cold am dismal.
sauit o d i q theatonttateps of+ne of tbe
largest dwellings of Fifth Avenue, was a
boy, apparently about thirteen lyears of
age. Ile was literally clothed Whit rags,
his hands were blue, his teeth
,Chattered
with cold. 'Lying nixin his kpee:ivas a
piece of newspaper he had picked; up in the
street, and he was trying to read the woras
upon it. He bad been occupied thus for a
time, when two little girls, clad in sill; and
/Ctrs came toliards him. The eldest one
was about twelve yeanii-old, and so beau
tiful that the poor boy raised' hied eyes and
fixed them upon her in undisguised admi
ration;
The child of wealth stopped before him,
and fuming to her companion, exclaimed :•
" Marian, just see this fedi)* on- my
door steps! Hoy, what are you' doing
here?" , - -
"I am trying 'to learn to read upon
this little bit of paper," answered the boy.:
4! Well, truly 1 1 have heard - of intellect
in raga, Marian, and here now it is person
ified.", • I
•Marian'a soft hazel eyes filledd with
• tears, as she replied :
" 0 ! Louise, do not talk so ; you kflow
what Miss Fannie teaches in school. The
rich and poor meet together, and the Loid
is the maker of as all."
Louise laughed again; and said to
little bdy : •
" Get up from here, you shall not sit on
my 4loor iitcps,you are tpo ragged and dir
ty." .
He arose and a - burning blush Crimson
ed his face. He was walking away when
Marian said ; . .
"Mn't go little boy, you arelso cold
come to my honsorand get 'warm.'' 0, do
come," she continued, as be' hesitated;.
and he followed,her into. a largo; kitchen,
wherea bright, warm fire. was Shedding
its genial warmth around.
' " Well, Miss Marian,,wbo are you bring
ing here now ?" asked the servant woman.
"A poor boy who is almost perished,
you wilt let him warm, will you not Rach,
?"
- 1
" Oh, yes, he. shalr ; get warm sit here,
little boy," .and Rachel pushed,,a! chair in
front of,the stove,;. she then gave him a
piece of bread and meat. !
3farian watched thesearrangenients and
then glided from' the room. When she
returned she had a primmer, with the first
rudiments of spelling and , reading. Go
ing to the boy, aho said :
" Littleloy, here is a book that you can
learn to read from better than that piece
of paper. Do you knew , your letters 1".
• Some:of them but not 1111. newer
bad any one to teach me. I just learned
myself ; but 0 ! I want to learn' !to . reed
so badly. ,,
'Marian sat down beside hitu,* began
teaching him his letters. t She valise tonal
ly occupied in this work that she; did not
see her mother enter the room t. tiir 'hear
Rachel' explain about the boy; and she
knew not that' her mother stood I some

Louise - Gardner and Marian ifays were
phtyinatea .and friends. . Their dwellings
joined, and almost every hour of. the • day
they were together, for they - titteicled the
same 'school.. These - two,' ehildied were
Very differently dispositioned, :and very
differently brought up Louise was proud
andbinghty. Poverty in her eyes, wawa,
disgrace and a Crime, and he dthought
nothing . too severe for the peer to. suffer.
, These views she learned from heriinother.
Mrs. Gardner moved in one exchisive eir
eie—the bon ton of New Yorke{ With
out the precincts of this she never ven
tured, for all others were beneath. her.
.Louise was taught to mingle with no chi)-
, dren except those of heirlnothers l friends,
was growing up helloing herself oven
better than they. '
The teadlog . tliat Marian Hatareceiv-
edwas totally different from . Mrs.
A . we was,aclatowledged, by Mrs. Gardner
as one o r ,her perdmlar friends ; yet,
though she moved among that circle,' she
was far from -being, of them. "ler doc
trine wsus the text the little‘girl had ,used
—"The rich and the poor meet together
and the Lord is the Maker of them all."
This, she taught Marian, that there Was no
distinction_ as wealth -and position ; that
the distinction was in worth, and worth
alone. She taught her to reverence age,
and to pity the 'poor and destitute; and
that pleasant words were as sweet as hon.
ey comb, sweet,tO the soul,—a little word
of kindness_ was better- than niiney.
Marian learned the lesson well, and was.
ever ready to dispense her gentle ivoydi
to all, whetheethey were wealthy and in
fluential, or rigged And _indigent as the
boy she bed that cold morning befriended.

A gay and lirMiant throng was' assem
bled in the city of Washington. Congress
was in ' session, and the hotels were crowd- .
ed with • strangeis. It was an. ' i ev ening
party. The brilliant lighted rooms were
filled with youth: and beauty. - i
Standing near , one of the doors were two
young ladies busily engaged conversing to
gether. The elder of the two tiuddenly
exclaimed : 1. •
"0, Marian, have you seen Me t Hamil
ton, the new member from IV I
" Re, I have not:, but I. have, heivd a
great deal about him:" 1 •
- "0, want to see him so' badlY- 1 Mrs.
is going to intrOdnce .N 6 to us.
I'wish she would make baste, I have no
patience." '
"Don't speak so, Louise, I 'wish you
would noti be so trilling," said Di riiin.
A singular smile Played around the
mouth of a tall handsome gentleman stand•
ins near the girls and as he passed them,
he scanned them both closely. ; ! •
In a short timelirs. N=T came up
with Mr. Hamiltan; . thes-newsraem-flud
presented him to Miss Gardner, and Miss
Hays. As they were conversing together;
Mr. Hamilton said : •
" Ladies we have met before." 1
- But Louise and Marian declared; their
; ignorance of the tact.
"It • has been long years , agO, yet I
have'not forg,otten it, nor a single sentence
uttered during that "meeting. will
come one text that may recall it to your
memory. "The rich and poor meet togeth
er, and the Lord is the maker-of then' all."
The'rich blood - tinged the, cheeks of
Marian, but Louise deciaredilerselfi igrm
rant as before. Mr. Hamilton glanced for
a moment at Marian, then turning to LOU.
ise he said
"Long years ago a litpti sboy,: rag,, , red
and dirty, seated hiniself on the steps of a
stately dwelling on Fifth . _ Avenue, New
York, and was there busily engaged try

attention was attracted by two little' girls
richly dressed. The eldest of the tv, i:o par
ticularly attracted him, fbr She , lives as
beautiful as an angel ;. but as they',drew
near him, , she lifted up her hand and ter
claimed: ' -
" Boy, what are you doiOg here!?" •
- "The boy answered that he ins trying
to read. The child - of affluence derided
him, and said that she had beard of lintel
lect,in rags, and he was the very personi
fication of it. Her companion's answer
was that the rich and poor shall. !meet
togetheriand the Lord to the inalciir of
them all." 'The elder girl drove the boy
away_ while the younger one took hiin
