Boyhood's Years. ltn dreaming of the years, Will, When we were boys together, "When o'er life's soft and Eunny skies, There came no wintry weather; For memory turns full often, Will, To the joyona days of yore, Thoe sunny days of pea ce and hope, Which, alas! will come no more. I mind me of the eld oaks, Will, In who?e shade we used to play, And the little aitic chamber Where we used to kneel and pray; And then the clear, cool brook, Wil 1, That cusi itd feathery spray, Whose limpid wave we used to eeek, From summer's noon-tide r.iy. Remembrance brings the school room, Will. Whose walls I've seen decay, For its spirits once so gay and bright, Have long since passed away: With rank an I noisome weeds, Will, It's grounds are covered o'er, For the little feet that shaped its piths, Shall press the soil no more. Ah! I mind me of those scenes, Will, That checkered our young years, And vfien cause, 'mid manhood's strife, Suae fond, regretful tears. For though 'mid scenes of mirth, Will, We've quaffed nf fiercer jys, We've known no bliss so unalloyed As when we both were boys. Vel 'twere needless to repine, Will, That youthful days are o'er; Hope whispers fair in fancy's eart Of pleasures yet in store. Ah! but I often think me, Will, Though with future raptures blessed, Remembrance bright will still incline To love our boyhood best. Lexington, Tenn., July 1, 1S55 . Advice to Boys. You ware made to ba kind and gener ous If there is a boy at school who ha3 a club foot, don't let him know you ever saw it. If there is a boy with ragged clothes, don't talk about rags in his hear in. If there is a lame bov. assiirn to Iriui some part of the game which does not require running. If there is a hungry one, gire him part of your dinner. If there is a dull one, help him get his les- son?. All the school will show by their countenances how much better it is to have a great soul, thaii a great fist. jTp A friend from the country telling Foote of an expesive funeral of an attor- ney, the wit replied: ''Do you bury attorneys?"

"When the patient happened to die, we lay hiai out in a room over night by himself, lock the door, throw open the sash, and in the morning he is entirely off. "Indeed!" said the other, in amazement, "what becomes of him!" "Why, that we cannot tell; all we know i?, there's a strong smell of brimstone in the room the n ext morning." The electric telegraph, says tho Paris correspondent of the New York Times, is becoming mote and more useful. A peas ant receired lately, by mail, a letter from his son Joseph, a Zouave before Sebasto pol. The young man mentioned the fact that bis legs were yet whole, but that bis shoes were the worse for wear. The af fectionate father having purchased a pair of nine-and-a-half, was perplexed as to the means of forwarding them. At last be thought of the telegraph the line to Marseilles ran through bis village. He put the address on the soles and slung the shoes over the wire. A pedler, pas sing by, struck by the solidity of the workmanship, appropriated them, plac ing bis used-up trampers in their place. The next morning the old daddy return ed to tbe-fpot to see if the telegraph had executed his commission. He saw the substitution which had been effected. "I vow," he exclaimed, "if Joseph hasn't already sent back his old ones!" The finest idea of a thunder storm ex tant is when Wiggins came home tight, Now Wiggins is a teacher, and had been to a temperance meeting and had eat too much lemonade, or something. He came into the room among his wife and daughter.-, and ju-t then he tumbled over the cradle and fell whop. on the floor. After while bp rose and said; "Wife, are you hurt?" "No." "Girls, are you hurt?" ,4No." ' .4Trrible clap, wwn't it?" Length of Human Life. An article in the last number of Black wood's Magazine, on the aboye subject, holds out the idea that the age of man ' should bo one hundred years instead of three-score and ten. The author says: llVrr , . , ,. ,. J , ... j Y e do not Simply die; we Usually Kill " oiiranlwns. Onr hnhifcft. nnr nniifttfoa nf body and mind; these shorten our lives and prevent us from reaching the natur- al limit of human existence." Gluttony, , i U e asserts destroys more lives than in- temperato drinking and yet "it is the j fashion to restrict the term sobriety to thfi mndprnfo lisn nf liminr.q " A Rnnpr briety to A sober the moderate nsa of Honors life no doubt implies moderation in all things in eating, drinking, and in the enjoyment or all the pleasures of life. But although we have read and heard much of moderation in eating and drink- ing, the difficulty has always arisen in minds respecting tho true standard of moderation. What is it! who will define it? The standard suitable for one is not for another. No temperance in all things. 13ut no man can or should set up his own standard for his neighbor. And yet it may truly bo said, that general rules for A - - t A 1 t temperance may oe set aown, wmcn it followed, would bo of immense benefit; such as not to eat so much as to unfit the mind for its usual exertions; or so much as will make the body heavy and torpid. Not to pass hastily from one extremity to another, but to change slowly and cauti ously, to eat plain and wholesome food, and to proportion its quantity to tho tem perament, the age, and strength of the eater. Not to allow the appetite for food and drink to regulate the quantity to be taken, but experience void of sensual de sire. These rules, if followed, will tend to promote the health, and thus lead to a greater length of days and years in man's existence; still there is a natural period for man to exist, and neither food, drink, nor sobriety can place him beyond that. We find that each species of animal has its boundary of life, and so has man. He has his infancy, youth, middle age, old age, and then comes the winding -sheet and the narrow house. But how long does his existence last? how many years encircle his natural life? These are imprtant questions. We find that thirty years is considered to be a generation; that is the whole world is re peopled every thirty years with a new race, and alike number departs from it in that period. But no person considers thirty years the natural term of man's life sev enty years being generally set down as that limit. A book however, recently pub lished in Paris, by M. Flourens, which bas created no small sensation in that city, places old age at eighty-five years, and the complete natural life of a man a bout a century. He places first manhood from that of seventy, instead of old age at that period. We are inclined to accept his view of the question as the most cor rect one. Buffon, the naturalist, enter tains such an opinion. The rule of life laid down by him is that animals live from six to seven time3 the nnmber of years required to complete their growth, such as the horse, which completes its growth at four years, lives from twenty to twenty-four, and a man who takes eighteen years to reach his full growth, I,iaJ live ware tban a bundred years. There are but few men who live a hun dred years, and just as fow horses that live to twenty-four, but that affords no ' reason why many men, almost all men of a sound constitution may not live for a ' centuary. The table of M. Flourens, re- ! lating to life is as follows: ', Man grows'20 years, and lives 90 or 100 1 The camel, 8 " " 40 ' The horse, 5 ' " 25 i The ox, 4 " " 15 or 20 j The dog, 2 u " 10 or 12 ' This is somewhat different from Buffon, but he sets it down as a fixed rule that all the large animals live about five times, longer than the time required for their full growth. The question is one of deep importance to the whole humau family, . It is one to which the insenious French j man has brought a great amount of j knowledge in investigation, and he holds ; up science, as presenting to all men of , sobriety, a very extended Innd of exist ence. Scientific American. Pretty Fair.

The gentleman who kissed a "lady's snowy brow," caught a severe cold, and hai been laid .up ever mbcc,. Greek and Latin. l At one of the meetings of the Educa tiohal Association in New York. Mr. Fow le, one of the most experienced educators of youth m that State, made some re - marks npon the study of Greek and ,Lat- in, which will be regarded as heterdox by many, but which are certainly worthy of attention. Greek and Latin entpr Wn - I ly into a classical education, and yet we venture to say that of one hundred stu- i dents who nursue a col cere course, not more than half-a-dozen acquire a tho I . - o , rough knowledge of these studies, and of the subjec. ig evidenfc from ,th t. fhpan norhnnc tint, nrnrn Minn tnrn hniL the leisure or inclination to keep up their . i: " : a -i i . acquaintance therewith. The time spent , in acquiring these branches, is, with the great majority of students, absolutely wasted, so far as the knowledge they thus acquire becomes of practical value, and . had much better be devoted to the acqui sition of French or German. Mr. Fowlo . said: "What, he would ask, was the advan- tage to this community of a profound. knowledge of the Greek and Latin lan guages? What advantage do wo derive j froin itf 8ave, rjerbans. a knowledge of Greek participles, or something else e qually unimportant for the ordinary uses of life? What benefit would this knowl edge be to the mechanic or the agricul turist, unless, to ascertain how the pyra mids were constructed, or, from the Geor gics of Virgil, the art of keeping bees? How are learned, professions, lawyers, physicians and clergymen benefited? With the exception of the latter, there is no necessity among any of them of any deep knowledge of tho classics. Translations of all the works to which they are oblig ed to refer, are numerous and available, answer every purpose. He was decided ly in favor of devoting more time to the study of our own languague, which stands afar better chance of immortality tban any of the dead languages, and of which too much attention tJ the classical stud ies has caused a culpable neglect. The tendency of too assiduous a devotion to the classics was to divert the mind from the study of what is practical and neces sary to what is useless, in a utilitarian age like the present. He had even known instances of men whose knowledge of the classics (in his apprehension) was pro found and accurate, but who were pain fully deGcient in even an ordinary knowl edge of the English language." Arab Oddities. An Arab, enter; g a house, removes his shoes, but not his bat. He mounts bis horse upon the right side, while his wife milks their cows upon the left side. With him the point of a pin is its head, while its head is made its heel. His head must be wrapped up warm, even in sum mer, while his feet may well enough go naked in winter. Every articlo of mer chandise which is liquid he weighs, but measures wheat, barley, and a few other articles. He reads and writes from right to left, blit figures are read from left, to right. He cats almost nothing at break fast, about as much for dinner, but after the work of the day is done, he sits down to a hot meat swimming in oil, better yet, boiled butter. His sons eat with him, but the females of the house wait until his lordship is done. He rides his donkey when traveling, his wife walking behind. He laughs at the idea of walking in tho street with bis wife, or of ever vacating bis seat for a woman. He knows no use for chairs, tables, knives, or even spoons', unless they are wooden ones. Bedsteads, bureaus, and fire-places may bo put in the same category. If be bo an artisan he does his work sittingj perhaps using bis toes to hold what bis bands are en gaged upon.

A Teacher's appeal to tho Parents of his Pupils. Respected Friends . The intimate re lation which subsists between us, as pa rents and teacher, induces me to address you in relation to some of our mutual du ties, upon the proper appreciation and duo performance of which depend, in a great degree, the future success and wel- jfaro of your children. I feel that we are mutually engaged in a great work; a work which demands our most serious consider ation, and one which loudly calls for the exercise of our united wisdom and hearty co-operation. This work is the training and disciplining tho objects of your dear est affections, so that they may become virtuous and happy citizens, and "act well their parts" on tho stage of life; alike an honor to themselves, to you, to me, to the community, and to their Creator. As, therefore, we are engaged in a work at once so important and so inter esting in its results, it seems to me ex tremely desirable that a good understand ing should exist between us, and that we should co-operate in every suitable man ner, and on every proper occasion. In sending your children to my school, you have placed them under my care, and ex pect them to spend many precious hours of their youth under my immediate in struction and influence. You. doubtless. expect much of me; and, if you faithfully I comet-like pupils as some are; comet- tion of to-day's lesson which depends up perform your duties, you have a right to like in some respects, but most uulike in on that of yesterday; and such dependence capeuo mucu. l reel, l trust, to some extent, the im mense responsibility of my situation, and will seek to labor "with all diligence" in the discharge of my arduous duties; and I hope I shall be enabled to answer eve-., ry reasonable expectation on your part. But, that I may labor more successfully, as well as more cheerfully, will you allow me, in a plain, familiar manner, to call your attention to a lew particulars in which your oordial co-operation is most earnestly and-affectionately solicited? I will endeavor, on my part, not to ask for anything which will not tend to the great est advancement of your children, and to tho promotion of their welfare. I. I respectfully invite you tc aid vie in securing tlie constant and seasonable attend- ance of your children. I have reason to believe that some pa rents have not given merited attention to these points. Do you not think that chil dren arc often kept frdtn school, or sent late, without any sufficient reason? Per haps you have never fully considered the evils incident to inconstant or unseasona ble attendanoe; and, if so, allow me to call your attention to one or two of them, and others will readily suggest themsolves to your minds. Let us, then, notice the tendency, or some of the consequences, of irequent absences. 1. If child jen are allowed to bo ab sent, for insufficient reason, they are vir tually, taught to look upon their school and its duties as of quite secondary im portance. If the doing of some trifling errand, the making or receiving visits, or the participating in some pleasure excur sion, is allowed to interfere with school exercises or obligations, your children will, most assuredly, consider the engross ing object, or objeots, as of paramount value. Of course, their interest will be diminished, and their progress retarded, in a degree proportionate to the extent and frequency of tho infringement upon the claims of the school. If you wished for a lad to assist you on your farm, in your shop, or counting-room, you would insist upon having his undivided time and attention. This would be requisite for his good, as well as for yours. If you had in your employ an appren tice, who should frequently absent him self, and allow unimportant engagements or amusements to absorb tho tiino and at tention which should be devoted to gain ing a knowledge of his trade,-you would, at once, oonclude that he would never be come a proficient in it. And will it not be the same in school affairs? Are not your children apprentices m the school of knowledge . which u designed to prepare them for the work of life? And have you I . j l.t. lil i J I Atrni nAticirlArar that stnltr Mm Tm m f unri UuUaUv.uU kUUv wU7 .m r.wU.rH faithful discharge of the duties of tioeship can qualify them for workmen,- that need not be ashamed of their work, when they shall have served out their time, and taken their stand with the free! actors on the stage ot mei it you havo not, let me beseech you, as you prizo the Bou 01 your onuaren, ana wihu lueir greatest advancement, to pause and re fleet. 2.

He .thinks, too, with bitter quire an tetoal dislike for Bebool, and allnuisHj of tha vdt3fte$ schoolj wb3e its exercises. Of necessity, most of the instruction, in large sohools, mn.H be giv en to whole classes, and not to individual scholars. Your children receive their school-knowledge in this way. It is very essential, for the progress of a class, and its individual members, tnat no scholar bo nbsent from a single recitation ; for, frequently, the loss of a single lesson may affect a scholar's interest and advance ment for a whole term. Let me take an instance to illustrate this. I have a class in Arithmetic, and it is often necessary for me to explain some principles, the clear understanding-of which, by the pu pil, will serve as a key to subsequent les sons. To-day I occupy some time in ex plaining some principles, to a class of twen ty, of which your child is a member, but, unfortunately, an absent one. To-morrow he comes to school, but is unable to comprehend and perform the exercises of the day. What, therefore, must be done? Certainly one of two things. I must eith er devote time and strength, which be- j long to the whole school (and which the school needs), and repeat the explanations given in his absence, or I must leave him to grope alon in the dark, as be.-t he can, and, probably, to become disgusted teract every influence which may have with his school and its studies. He will ; the least tendency to teach their children not only droop himself, but will exert a j that their school is unimportant, and may withering and disheartening influence up- fie made secondary to amusements, or on the other scholars. trifling engagements of any kind I Our schools cannot accomplish the Some one has thus " summed up" the highest amount of good, unless the chil- . unfavorable results of unnecessary ab dren are regular and constant in their at-1 sence : tendance. How often is it, that scholars j of good natural abilities are. connected with a good school, month after month, and year after year, and yet make but little, if any, progressl They retain seats in school, and, when perfectly convenient, and consistent with other arrangements, they occupy them, and do little else. , They are neither prepared to enter a reg- ular class, dor to continue there, if allow- ed to join. They feel no interest in the school, nor in the studies thereof; and of- ten, by their habits of idleness and inaU tention, they become a positive injury to the whole school. Teachers are incom- pete nt to impart any new lieht to such oiuers, mey appear ana disappear, hut when and how they will re-appear, no mortal can predict, with the slightest de- gree of certainty. A desirable interest and fair improvement cannot be exhibit- ed by children, who are allowed to be fre- quently absent. If the making or receiv- ing of visits, the performance of some nn- important errand, or an engagement for some momentary pleasure or gratification, is allowed to tresspass upon school-duties, children will be taught, in the most un- equivocal manner, to look upon their school as of trifling importance. It is a duty the most imperative, on the part of parents, to train tip their sons aud daugh- ters to regard their school and its exer- cises, for the time being, as paramount to all things else. By being allowed to ab- sent themselves, at first by permission of parents, for some inconsiderable purpose, they will soon bo tempted to let some fa- vorite amusement draw them from the scbool-rodrfj, and that, too, without the w - n iwuv. ui iucii JUlCUln Ul guaraians, as truants.
