indeed. But -Whatris our loss may be his
gain. Pewee to his spirit. The-following
brief biographical sketct will interest ear
readers.
Lyman Cobb was born in Stockbridge,
Berkshire County, Mass., September 18,
1800. His father died in 1809, and'
leaVing a large family of children, Lyman
started at . hat early age -to provide for
himself, and moved to the central part of
NeW•York . . At the• age of nineteen. lie
pr t ioted his first spelling-bock, and at the
time was occupied in teaching school.
He sold the copyright of f his book to the
pOblishers at tthica for Tom.pkins County,
fair $l,OOO, which .yielded at one half a
mint per copy during the term of twenty
ei!,-ht years, twenty five thousand dollars.
The publication of his; spelling-book
reached millions of-copies, being used
nearly everp:sc'hool in the- State of New;
York. 11•:rote the' following books :
1.-Speller,"Expositor," "Dictionary," a
series of five. Reading Books, a Speaker,
Primary Aiithinetic, Higher Arithmetic,
Miniaiure Lexicon, Corporeal Punish
ment, and luvivard of sixty or seventy
small illustrated juvenile works.
- The abolishmont-of corporal punish
ment was for years his hubby. At every
school convention or public educational
meeting he by resolution ascertained the
sense of the meeting., and, agitated the
question, and the public became awakened
to that extent •-t - 6t the Public School

,'WANTED-A BOW.”
The', fact that we have not seen half a
dozen "boys" in as many Sears, induces
us to jot down some thotights under the
above caption. We beg to inform the
public that. we 'do not want another, ap
prentice just 1710W,50 the "wanted"--must
be considered as serving "to point a mor
al," and not as!an advertisement..
We suspect that the species "Bay," has
gone after that "lost tribe" of Featherdom
—"The Do, Do." Certainly .NVo, have
not seen one of the species oftener than
once a quarto; for
. ten years. True—l
there are a plenty of nominal boys every
where; that ialto_say, thereis nu lack of
bipeds in short "coats and caps, with
smooth faces, "of stubble." Bnt these
are not!, the boys of a not very. distant 'day.
They appear as such to the eye, but when
one smis them On the street, or he'ars them
speak ) the illu'siotr vanishes.
The boy that we knew ten years ago
has departed awl - left little trace behind.
We remember, that he oecasionally,..eatue
into our office, almost alwayo• on errands
for his father, or some grown-up person,
and seldom, if ever, to sit in our arm
chair, scribiding on our exchanges, talk
to the printers, oi• meddle with the type
He came in, told his errand; if a cold
morning, varined his toes, and went his
way. We do not rec 4 olleet that he whis
tled Yankeo. Doodle, or drummed on the
table. He may have done so, but it has
not been rerneeibered
Thegioy we knew ten years ago never
appears to us now in the_street. We
miss him wonderfully. He used to .bow
and say "Good morning," and never said
"bully for you;" as men passed along the
streets : l We do not recollect of seeiug , the
boy of ten yeai i s ago with a pipe, or a cigar
in his mouth ; l aud alas, that we should
have to say i t!-we never saw the boy
of ten years D. 6 ,0 DRUNK:, \Ve never saw
him reeliug oil the side-walk and disgus
dog the passers-by with his maudlin and
awkward profdnity. 'We Po not remem
ber to Lave seen him sittid..r, in the.stores 1
and grog:lries by the hou'r, chewiug tobacco '
guzzling beer, aud making himself, in
some of the lowest respect#, the equal • of
grown-folks who do these chinos.
The boy
H of ten year ago did not
require as muCh mop, etVer at home or
in a mowd, asidoei the bay of to-day.—
The latter is the loudest 41Iter'in a crowd
of men while at home he to often requires
as touch attention and grodmieg as a val
uable horse. He; claims t'.ll the favors,
shirks• all thC "hardships" as he calls
thew, and inigh:t, be um : ital.:en for the I
head of the familyi, only that. he conde-
s'eends to let 'that irnaginry individual
pay the grocery, !store, and shoemaker;
bills—as a matt( r of spcteial favor, we
suppose. Altogether, theboy of to-day I

so small that the! temptation to "crib"
from the chailgudiawer is (Olen too strong
for uuaeclituntedirtue. ll He did not '
consider it a disgrace to bda good bladk- I

that, the boy of ancient times did nod
sometimes reckem Ills duty performed to
his employei when he had 'put in the day

a: rule -with the boy of anehmt times that;

Not se-with the bay of modern times
- :
He has no comprehension' 'of thel
!Mutual dependence and litenefit of the '
employer, and the enOloyect. He
regards' his employer as a very handy
person to apply to for favors, but seldom
regards his convenience, hiS detufort, his I
business, as of the slighte4 thenient.— ,
Ile would miss him on pay2day, iif absent.
And that is: about all. His commands,
his requests, his• interests, are alhforgetten
or ignored. Happy thw'reuiployer who
can find a boy who is not altogether Wiser
than himself in all things pertaining to
business ! It would be a rich treat to
find a boy who has not learned everything
before reaching. the middle of his teens.;
--a boy who was not born supremely wise
above age ltd experience. ,-- a
But we long for these things with lit e
hope. We do not say there 'are no e --
ceptions ; blit it is a notorious fact that
the majorityl of boys now, take little inter

'What a Woman Can no.
As a wife and mother, women can make
the fortune and hapl i rl.C.sB of her children ;
and even!if she dici o

this woulcl i bAuffinient destiny. By her
thrift, prudenekand tact, .she can .secure
to her,par6er andl herself a compete n ce
in old age, no mater how small their e
ginning, or how adverse a fate occasionally
be theirs. By her; cheerfulness she can
restore her husband's spirits, shaken. by
the anxieties of business: By her tender.
care she can often ;restore him to health,
if disease has seize upon bis overtasked
powers. By.her counsel and her love,
she can win him 'from bad coMpany, if
temptation in an evil hour basled hid
astray. By her example, and her pre-
cepts, and her sex'slinsight into character,
she can mould herithildren, however di•
verse their ilisposiiiions, into - g,dod men
e_,,uti .women. And by leading in- all
things a - true and beautiful life, she can
refine, elevate- and - spirit:Sallie all who
cords within rear i; so that with others
.of her sex eruillati 'h ., and assisting her,she
can do more to re c enerate the world than
all the statesmen "or reformers that ever
legislated Sh.ecan do as much—alas'l.
perhaps even mnre!---to -degrade man, if
she choose to do it; •
'Who can estimate the evil that woman
has the power to do? As a wife she
can ruin 'her husband by extravagance,
folly or want of affection. She can make
a devil and an outcast of a man; who
might otherwise 'pave become a. good
member et' society. She can bring hick
ecings, and "perpetual discord "into
what has been -a Nippy home. ,She can
change the innoent babes whom God
has entry ica to her chargP, into rile men
and even- viler women. She can lower
even the moral tone of soeiety itstelf, and
thus polute legisation at the spring head.
She can, in Eue,be i come ai instrument of
evil, instead of an ;angel of good.
Instead nf making flowers of truth,
purity, beauty and spirituality spring up
in herfootsteps,till the whole earth smiles
with loveliness that' is alMost - celestial;
'she can transform `it -to a black and blastid
desert, covered with the scorn of all evil
