The Itedstorget Pastoral Letter presents some' very frePoitint thoughts to - parents; on the subject of the education-of their children. A good education should be sought, above all other things which are Within the parent's power. To this, a good 'home, a good minister, and a good school are needed. It is of the latter that 'the. Presbytery speak; Peculiarly careful should the parent be in the selection of a bearding School, Whether it be Academy or ,College. Reny, a noble youth, by being removed from the sweet influences of 'terse, is corrupted and lost. But a removal is, , irg most oases, ameceisiity.. Let it not be toe early in liter Let it be to a .Pions and orthodox 'family, where, no bad boy will, be tolerated. Let it be to a well ordered Christen institution, where' the teachers have knowledge, mind, energy, and adaptation to their work. Only Such an institution should be intrusted with the care and training sof precious immor'tals; and such an one we eonsider next to:the family home, the safest placeon earth where the Yoiing:can be located: Large Liberty. `Thelollowing-extract is from a sermon of.

Most probably he has been Invited by the " progressive" young men in one of the Literary Societies, and it is not at all improbable that the College authorities may interfere, as did • the Professor at Cambridge; some time ago.
