The following essay was delivered before
the Tioga County Teachers' Institute, in
Wellibero, October 17th, •1137g,-14 Misal'io
ra T. Parsons, of Rochester, N. Y. • It is
published by request of the teachers:
"A child," says Pestalozzi, "Is 'like an

al require their own appropriate exercise.—
The teacher's werk is not like that of an ar
tist, who can touch his• picture here and
there as his taste or fancy dictates, but. like
that of nature; and be should proceed as
nature does in the formation of a Bower or
any other of her productions; she throws
out simultaneously the whole system of be
ing and the qudiments of all the parts.
The education in the,school room is ofteti
spoken of as if it were preeminently the
whole education. -It is not so, however;
the education carried on in maturity, when
in full possession of an the powers, is that
which determines the character and pest.
lion. The peculiar importance, howeVer,
of- this early education lies in the considera
tion that it prepares the way for subsequent
self-education, and brings into command all
the faculties. Knowledge given at this ear
ly stage of adiancement Is not given so
much for its own • sake, or with a view to
professional , occupations, as that the pupil
who has passed through the process of ac
gulling it may gain therefrom that powerof
acquiring for himself as much more as he
needs, and a destsra to do so; thus making
him independent in word, thought, and at
..--
tion—investigating and knowing for him;
self. There are three things necessary in
every lesson. .
1. SECITSZ wrrrarriorr. Nothing can be
accomplished without attention. The Pea

the teacher, &c.; but it is, to - be won, like

'4n speaking of the necessity
,ef. prepara
tion on each subjeCt to be presented, I am
reminded of an illustration which will not
be out of place here., A, man who. did not
believe there was any necessity of prepara
tion to impart Scripture truths, but believed
that if the heart web all right the Lord
would put the words into his mouth, even
went so far ea to say that they might hand
him any text they pleased and be would ex
plain it to them, to prove there was no ne
cessity for preparation.' One of the good .
brOthershanded him this text, (Matthew xi.,
15j; "-Be that bath ears to hear let him ~
hear." Ile took stand read, 'lle that bath '
ears to hear - let him hear," and said: "I
suppose the mode of punishment_ in those
days Whiii any crime, bad ' been sumniitted
was to but of the ears, and a the people were
so wicked and bad ,committed so many
crimes; 'that. as - Jesus looked around and
saw how few there kvere who had ears, he
said, ' He that bath ears to bear let him
hear.' "

Mr. Lincoln's last Inangnral.
Since Mr. Seward's death it has been Ista
ted by friends who have been permitted to
see some of his manuscripts, that there is
among them the draft of Mr. Lincoln's last
inaugural address, and the conclusion is
reached that the address was therefore the
product of Mr. Seward. In this address
occurs the following passage, which was
then, and hag _ been since, so much admired
.for its broad charity-and depth of patriotic
earnestness: .
wad's:Muni/fit tlfit'Vfectfiudifteelinzhifof e

nation** wounds , to care idniini 'who &hall hate b e
the tattle, and to his widow and his crphans, do
all which may achieve Lud o cherish a just and a t
haw peace among ourselvei and with all tiatiens." t
With all respect and appreciation of .
Seward's talents, and of hie unvaryingl de
votion to the country In its greatest peril,
we do not consider the finding of u draft of
this famous document among his papers, in
his own handwriting, sufficient evidence of
its having been his own, composition. It
seems to' us to bear" strong internal evidence
of having been the expreesion of the same
mind that gave utterance fo such heroic sen
timents at Gettysburg cemetery. Without
studied effort, Mr. Lincoln's mind sought
utterance, when the occasion seemed great
enough, in the most forcible and eloquent
language. And this language, .for perepi
euity, clearnees, and conciseness of mewl
ing, has seldom been equaled. It generally
lacked the forms of the classic, and abound
ed in the best Anglo-Saxon. This peculiar
ity may be seen in most of his writin ti.

The snow scenes of Holland aro familiar

When the winter is cold enough to seal jup

Wit and Humor in the Bible.

there. Take a few specimens: •

that must have made the people roar wilt,
laughter. The stiff, antiquated style of otu
English Bible tames down his sallies. Take
them in modern phrase: These quack prop',
eta have worked themselves into a perfect
desperation, and are capering about on the
altar as if they had the St. Vitus Dance.—
The scene (I. Kings, xviii, 2(i, 27) wakes up
all Elijah''e sense of the ridiculous. " Shout

Tare TAKEN Fon E.VTING.—If persons
intend to have health, their meals should be
r4-gularly timed and distanced. There is
inuell importunce.to be attached to the kind
of \loud which we allow ourselves to take;
but the time of taking it, together with the
proper-intervals between meats, has a much
inure importunt bearing upon our health.
Whatever hours, may be selected as must
convenient for Meals, they :Mould he uni
form; and for this reason: ut the hour when
the stomach is accustomed to rece ve food,
the appetite is generally sharper, land the
gastric juices more copious, ti t an Ailey a re
immediately before or after that time.
If food be taken before the- accustomed
hour, the stomach is, us it were, taken by
surprise, and is not found in 'pc;rfe4t; readi
ness to receive it; if the meal be delayed
beyond the accustomed time, common ex
