covered at the seat of P.l'. Wykhaui. Esq. at Aston Howant, Oxford-

'ON THE MANNI;RS (IF THE RISING GENERA-

Sin—Every feeling mini must with regret perceive
• the daring and rebellions spirit that prevails in the youth
not only this country. but also those on the Conti-
;neut. -The eonsequenees of this spirit unless subdued,
ningt inevitably pro .e of a very serious nature. Ire-
•rnendous must he the fat:: of the youth who chews this
untoward and rufrattory disposition. He begins his
,raireer by flying in t'.e face of his masters ; he continues
iit be doing the same to his parents ; he then proceeds
to offend the laws of his country, and concla:`,es by
violating the laws and ccminaidmonts of Lis God.—
*The principle is-1112 same, though it varies in its object
owed• is directed to different ends.

This want of subanliation is Sufficient to excite al
:general alarm. particularly when we eoroertplatc and
.-alsodler at the drzadful increase of crimes of every
• description, and chiefly that of forgery. The Sessions
in the Metropoli,, and the Assizes in our different
•rmintries. exhibit a melancholy list of juveniie, nny
nEm tile offenders.

`But be those of' a well-rerzulatecl mind, masters,

of their duty, will be remarried with esteem, and
,justly
corridered as beIIer.LVICH'S to their eoult.y ; fur their
patient and persevering exertions, the foundation of
the fut..ire happiness of their pupils is laid. They are
-in fact, taco pareltum ; and any grateful youth xvii
stew them a,: such. It is a narrow and contracted no-
tion, and false in its princiisle, to assert, that when
instructors are paid by the parents of the children, all
ceases on their part, and that o 1 their off-
spring, Paytneat by no means cancels the oblization ;
ifirc the debt of gratitude can never be sufficiently paid
to those who have toiled and laboured in the arduous
^nd too often thankless task of endeavouring to en-
lii 'ilea the rising generation. and rescue it from har-
oarism and igno,atice. I know not a more irksome
profession than that of a school-toaster. whether public
or private. It is that which is (art has been remarked
on a late trial by an eminent Counsel) perhaps pro-
duc;ive of most benefit to the Public and of least benefit
t 7 the professor ; for he has to struggle against pride,
obstinacy; and ignorance, withont any material pro
sped of *fortune or of' flute. I fad the school-master and
sanol-mistress merely to attend to instruclion alone,
their labour would be greatly diminished-, boa they arc.
amfi)rtunately doomed to sustain the aggravatlng
of daring and refractory spi•its, which spurn their au-
thority, and treat them with contempt. And ici: v and
.cffrontery are arrived at a formi.lable pitch, and I am
slet.ply aoncorned to say it, even amon4 young females,
f..ont whom wo naturally expect mildness and gentle-
res.. the prorr characteristic of their sex.
If the father is thus negligent of his duty to his son,
the food and foolish mother is equally so towards her
daughter, the boortiing school who, too often,
las received an education far beycnd her sphere in life.
'Who, perhaps, ere she has reached her ID.II year, is
ashered into the drawing-roam, where she is taught,
to the admiration of he:. mania (got secret disgust of
her more discerningfriends), with unaoking confidence
to imitate the fire lady, stare every one out of count-
enance, and, as Dean Swift has humorously remarked,
actually, by her boldness anti effrontery, run down the

As the education of youth was formerly ton much
neglected, it is now carried to the contrary extreme. I
Aim by no means as advocate fir keeping the lower or-
d.trs of society iiijuniuus, and:old:ling them to reamin
without ary sort of education ; but surely that edura-
km. should be given to them which is suitable to the
sphere of life in which they are likely to move, and in
vhich the hand of Divine Providence has been pleased
to place them. Too refined an- education is highly in-
jurious to those, who have received it ; for it sets them
abort themselves, and teaches them to despise the htim•
ble situation of their in sjurlging and ill ncloived
parents. I once witnessed this absurdity at a little pub-
lic house at which I stopped, on the road from Rnms-
gate to Margate. Little Miss brought in my refresh-
ments, splendidly and elegantly dressed, with her hair
en papilioles ; she then hastily ran up stairs to attend
Cie summons of her musk-master; the door, through
the vanity of the mother, being left open, that I might
hear the dull-.t sounds of this sl,:ugliter of beer and
cider. Sounds I certainly heard, but they were not
those of harmany. To complete her accomplishments,
d awing was not omitted. Specimens of her correct
nets in that elegant art were in profusion hung round
Cie roam in costly gill frames. In one piece you might
be delighted with the view of houses resembling the
le tning tower of Pisa, with chimneys quite perpendi-
cular ; and in another the leaves of trees all bearing
the same way, which gave you an accurate idea Of a
a inn at sea, without the artist having been at the
trouble of representing angry and tenyestuuns waves.
If the results ofsoch en ethic 'non be nut absurd and
ridiculous in the extreme, it will be a nutter of asto-
stiehment and wonder to.
