Geo. Principal Public &boot, New Berlin, Union Co.. Pa [From the Easton Journal.) Mr. Editor.—The grand object in a course of elemen tary education should ever be, the securing a sore and permanent foundation. It Is setf•evident, that if this solid foundation he lot secured, the future labor ado, teacher will become comparatively valueless,, and the standard of the pupils' attainments necessarily super ficial. The well-educated teacher will claim little sym pathy with those of kis profession. who, in order to se cure an evanescent fame fnt his school, will hastily rear a superstructnre that has but sand (or its foundation. It is eminently due the young scholars, and due the teacher himself: that he should advance them bing-rad sal and rare process of instruction. lie will commence with the primary elements in the various departments of useful study, and "rooting and grounding" them well In those elements; he wllf proceed greadsally., laying broader and deeper the foundation of their education, ,• until he has prepared the way for the up•rearing of an elegant.efficient and permanent superstructure. These remarks premised, it affords the writer no or dinary pleasure to recommend to our seminaries and district schools, a work lately published, entitled "The Youth's Columbian Calculator," by Almon Ticknor, su thor of the "Columbian Calculator," and which was prepared for the press for the specific object of making It serve as an introduction to the latter work, and the want of which was felt by pupils commencing the study of arithmetic. We are confident that the teacher who will examine the "Youth's Columbian Calculator," will ,be rewarded tor his pains, by finding al last, a work pre• :clarity adapted to the ordinary capacities of juvenile and which admirably prepares the way for ta king up the lamer and egnatly excellent work of the same celebrated author The writer of this article is making use of this -introductory course on arithmetic" in his school, and finds it exactly adapted to accomplish the-important object intended by its publication. We again heartily recoinmend, therefore, the "Youth's Columbian Calculator." as a most excellent Introshrc toryatep to the larger work.known as the "Columbian Calculator." The book concludes with the Rale of • Three; and from the commericcinent to the end.iinfolds in the most simple, pleasing and masterly manner; the ground •work nr constituent primary principles n arith metical science. It is just the work needed by our schools. The examples are origipill and practical. while the clearness and brevity of elucidations ren der it facinating to the juvenile mind.

They were pronounced by the attending physicians to be pa/winery Cossamplion and abandoned by them as incurable. One of these persons had been under the treatment of several very able practitioners for a lumber of years. and they said she had "old fatAioxed einessunprien combined with Scrofula," and that she might linger for some tiree.bilt could not be permanently relieved. In both cases the effect of the - Panacea has been most gratifying. Only tour or five bottles were used by °near' the persons be fore die began to Improve rapidly. The other took a bout ten. I will only add that familiar as - I am. with Con sumption- by inheritance and by extensive observatinn as a study, and knowing also the injurious effects in - nine cases ant of ten of tar, boneeet, nod other regeta=.
