A bill has been read second time, by vote of
81 TO 16. requiring that plaintiff, before he OBJ
tain sa. shall swear that he believes the deien
dant has some of his effects concealed with which
he could pay a palt OF the debt; and subjectng
such plaintiff to the penalties OF perjury for tax
ing false oath. In the discussion on this bill, the
writ of ca. sa. was denominaed relic of ancient
barbarism, which ought to be eradicated from our
laws. 1t was urged to be contrary to enlightened
principles and our free institutions to mmerse an
unfortunate man in the walls of dungeon, merely
because he was unable to pay debt.
A resolution laid before the Legislature, to
inquire into the expectancy of prohibiting free per-
sons of colour from voting at elections; taxing
them higher than at present and also in relation
to the power Of the Legislature to cause their re-

purpose Of gymnastic exercises. The
successful progress Of his system IN
Denmark, induced Gutsmuth more
than ever to render it a national object
In Germany; and for this purpose he
made application 70 the Prussian gov
eminent. The answer he received
from the then minister of state was as
follows:-"The bodily exercises Of
youth form an essential part of my plan
Of national education" In 1910, the
gymnastic establishment at Berlin was
placed under the direction Of John,
through whose zeal and perseverance
they have since been promulgated to
various parts Of Germany. Gutsmuth
published more complete system Of
gymnastic exercises in 1877, which is
undoubtedly the best which has hither-
to appeared; and it is from this that I
have principally selected the following
exercises; the salutary effects Of which

self during residence in Germany. l
have considered it quite unnecessary to
dwell at any length upon the advanta-
ges and importance of every single ex-
ercise; these must be obvious 10 every
one, and have therefore offered nothing
further than concise, and hope, suf-
hciently Ineligible description Of
each.

found the money which the providence
of Jean Gordon had made him retain,
they held consultation if they should
take it or no; but the smallness of the
booty, and the vehemence of Jeans re-
monstrances, determined them in the
negative. They caroused and went to
rest. So soon as day dawned, Jean
reused her guest, produced his horse,
which she had accommodated behind
the hd'Lan, and guided him for some
miles till he was on the high-road to

ties prevail on her 10 accept so much
as single guinea.
1t is related that all Jeans sons were

condemnation, in the emphatic words,

only said, "The Lord help the innocent

many respects wholly undeserving.-

rits, that ofbeing staunch JAG obite.-
She CHANGED TO be at Carlisle upon a

the rabble of that city. Being jealous
of their loyalty, when there was no dam

which they surrendered to the high
landers in l745, they inflicted upon
poor Jean Gordon no lighter penalty
than that of ducking her to death in
the Eden. ltwasan operation OF some

man, and, struggling hard with her
murderers often got her head above wa

EDUCATION OF YOUTH.
From The Boston, Statesman.

An experienced and intelligent cor
respondent has furnished US with the
following communication, somewhat
in character of review of the work,
the title of which is annexed, for the
purpose of drawing the attention ofthe
community to the subject Of Gymnas-
tic Exercises as an auxiliary TO our
present system of education:
Instructions in all kinds Of Gymnastic En-
ercises, as taught and practised in the
Gymnasf,c Institutions Of Germany:
designed rs ,rel, for colleges, schools, and
other pScces o. education, as for private
use. BY a Military Officer.
London, $40. PIP. 90. 1928, ,cith plates
In the progress of society, parents
guided by the lies Of affection and the
intImations of experience, naturally
wish to protect their children from the
influence of the seasons and the more
frequent changes of the atmosphere;
and as far as may be, to supply any de-
feet of organization; or deficiency OF the
senses.
AS they advance in information, the
means Of accomplishing these wishes
will be multiplied and improved. Ly-
curgus was probably the first philoso-
| pher and legislator who formed and re-
duced to something like system, the
rules and precepts ofphysical and NOR
al education.
He pointed out the means Of invigo-
rating the constitution of the Spartans
and accustomed them to bear with i'm.
punity the variations Of the weather and
the fatigues Of war. He taught them to
sustain with indifference the sensations
of pain, even hunger, and prescribed to
mothers the proper times to suckle
their infants. And, according to Arts
totle and Plutarch, he abolished the use
of swaddling clothes. We know the
exercises of their gymnasium and tine
severe efforts which occupied their
youth. Among these were swimming
wrestling, running, and long and rapid
marches in these they were habaualt5
engaged.
Their moral education consisted Ii
cul,ivating the several virtues and the
love of their country, which with TIN:
people was passion as strong as thai
of their religion.--But to come TO oul
own time and country, there are few
subjects, in the ms alton of human
affairs, which the pnilosopher and the
philanthrophist can contemplate witt
more satisfaction than the revival O
the ancient gymnastic exercises, and
the efforts they have been producine
for the last 30 years in Europe.
The physical cultivation and well be-
ing of the individual is SO essential to
the foundation, vigor and success OF the
mind, that the moment this truth is ful'
lily perceived, one will be ready to admit
! the necessity and value OF the former
