" They don't Use their Brains."
Pat Lyons, the famous blacksmith, was
onco asked how he had made so much
more money than men of his avocation
geuerally. His pithy answer was, 'Be
causG they don't use their brains as I do.'
It was his custom, he added, whenever he
had a complex piece of work to do, to
shut hiuiEelf up in a room, and draw
plans, not only of tho perfected whole,
but of every separate portion. Each of
tbese parts he gave to a different work
man, distributing them according to the
skill of the operators. To ono who made
a superior screw, he gave the plans of the
screw; to another, a different part of tho
machine; and so throughout. In this way,
not only was every portion executed in the
best manner, but no material was wasted
no time was lost in making the parts
fit. Other employers planned out the
job as they went along, and often had to
have their work executed over again ; in
a word, 'they didn't use their brains.'
There is many a person with vastly
more pretensions than Pat Lyons, who
might take a lesson in this respect from
the eccentrio blacksmith. Scores of gnc
schemes havo failed, simply because their
projectors did not use their brains, or on
ly called in their aid when it was too late.
Thousands of men have made shipwrecks j
of fortune from a similar neglect. If !
Webster had never thought over a case 1

his intellect, have died in comparative oh-
till he rose to plead, he would, in spite of
scunty. Sir alter bcott never sat down
to write without first having revolved his
subject again and again. Dickens has a
novel on the tapis, but he will not begin to
publish it till nest November; and mean
time he is thinking continually of the
characters and plot, he says, as ho has
been for months. The orations of De
mosthenes were carefully prepared, and
so were thoso of Cicero. Shakspeare had
evidently matured his dreams before he
took pen in hand, while Milton spent a
whole life in preparing for Paradise Lost.
Napoleon digested every one of his cam
paigns before he put his armies in mo
tion, not only specifying what marches the
several corps should make each day, but
descending even to the details of the com
missariat. All these great men used their
brainsr
So, in every career, it caves timo to
have a plan. The merchant who embarks
in a now trade without' one, is almost
suro to fail, while his rival, who rests on
fixed principles, and aims at specific ends,
succeeds. The politician who has no plan
never becomes a statesman. Tbe car
penter, bricklayer, or other mechanic,
who docs not plan out his work, wastes
material continually, and often has to do
half of his job over again. Tho youth
who starts out in life without a certain
i line of conduct distinctly marked out in
! his mind to follow, generally becomes a
1 ne'er-do-well. The business man who
has no regular daily method, soon finds
his affairs at sixes and sevens. The wife
who has no plan in housekeeping is al
ways in debt or wasteful, or both. The
schoiar who would become learned, knows
he can never succeed by desultory read-
ing. A traveler who had a journey to
j make from one town to another might as
j well set forth without inquiring tho road,
j without ascertaining whether it was far to
j walk, without providing himself with mo-
ney for his expenses, as a man start in
i life without a plan, or cvon bogin the most
! trivial undertaking. Forethought, in oth-
or words a plan, makes the difference, as
, Pat Lyons said, between those who suc
j cccd and those who don't. It is the dif
! ference between using brains and not.

In this way our schools too
frequently become pieces of complicated
mechanism; a sort of hand-organ, while
wc stand by, passive agents turning the
cranks. We have too much mechanical
system, and too little thinking; too much
chaining of the nobler faculties of heart
and soul; too much binding of the intel
lect, and then forcing it to grind out con
tinually its half-dozen tunes, and finally
to wear itself out with grinding.
Let us arouse ourselves from this stu
por. Let us free ourselves from this web
of necessity in which so many of us arc
becoming entangled. Let us do what wo
can to educate truly, never fearing for
results ; and let the motives to be urged
in influencing us, be the dignity of humau
nature; tho worth of souls.
To the foraalo teachers of our land, is
given generally, the beginning of the great
work of education. As early as the child
is old enousih, ho is sent to a Primary

If parents have faithfully performed their
duties, the teacher has but to build upou
a foundation already firm; but I am sor
ry to say, iu very many cases, a strongr
though entirely false structure is first to
be demolished, ere tho true corner stone
can be fairly laid.
It is very important that the Primary
school be not too large. If a teacher
