YOUTHS LYCEUM,

In this age of improvement, making the
amusements of children the medium of ra-
tional and useful information, is not the
least interesting discovery. In this lies
the secret of infant schools, which have al
ready done much and promise more. If
the toys of infants are judiciously selected
and regulated, they can as well be the in
struments of useful information, as to be
merely tiresome round of senseless and
useless sport. AS the years of children in
crease, it becomes still less difficult to rem
der their amusements useful exercise for
the body and mind. It is by no means diff
ficult to direct the walks and rambles Of
misses and lads to the discovery of some
new beauties or riches in the vegetable or
mineral kingdom, and, where their attention
has been properly directed to these objects,
it has seldom if ever failed to effect mi
mute and thorough investigation of the
mineral kingdom in the vicinity where such
direction has been given; and it may be a
question worthy of consideration, whether
the sportive rambles of youths may not be
so directed as eventually to effect geo.
logical and agricultural survey of some
sections of the country. If youths in those
places where branches of the American
Lyceum have been established, should form
auxiliaries to that institution, for the pur-
pose of various exercises among them
selves, one of which might be the collec-
ton of minerals, they might do an essential
service to science and agriculture, at the
same time they were procuring for them
selves an agreeable recreation, and ra-
tlonal and lasting improvement tits true,
that, at the outset, it might be desirable, if
not necessary, to have the aid of some one
acquainted with the subject in commencing
collection, which aid can probably be
procured. But if a beginning was once
made, it cannot be doubted,-t their in
terest and strength would increase as they
advanced. PHILAS.

l. See her as seldom as possible.
2. If she is warm-hearted and cheer
full in her temper-and if, after days or
weeks absence, she meet you with a smil-
ing and atfectionate manner-be sure to
look coldly upon her, and answer her with
dry monysyllables. If she force back her
tears, and is resolved to seem cheerful, sit
down and cape in her presence till she is
fully convinced of your Indifference.
3. Never agree with her in opinion, or
consult her in any of your affairs-tor that
would give her an idea of consequence.
a. Never think you have any thing to do
to make her happy /; but that all her happi-
ness is to flow from gratifying your capric-
es; and, when she has done all woman
can do, be sure you do not appear gratifed.
5. Never take an interest in any of her
pursuits, and if she ask your advice, make
her feel that she is troublesome and imper-
tinent.
g. If she attempts to rally you, good-hu-
moredly, on any of your peculiarities, never
join in the laugh, but trown her into ST.
lence.
z. If she has faults, (which, without
doubt, she will have,) and perhaps may be
ignorant of never attempt with kindness to
correct them; but continually obtrude on
her ears" What good wife Mr.. ---

in our national councils, do neither good
nor hurt. Is DR.. Howe an advocate for the
popular doctrine of free bridge,-of violating
contracts, resuming grants, and destroying
vested rights? These, sir, are public quest
ions, which must hear answered before |
can give him my vote. AS to the former
political character of the candidates, the
gentleman who nominated DIR. Howe, per-
haps was not aware, that his ticket con-
tanned three of the old school democrats,
and but two names of those, who formerly
ranked with the federalists. AS it does
not appear that DIR. Howe's consent was
obtained before he was thus unceremoni-
ously dragged before the public, we will
not pursue our inquiries by Mr.. Jefferson's
interrogatorieS, " Is he honest, is he capa-
bic, is he friendly to the Constitution 2"

Gov. LINCOLN. We have been not a
little surprised to find Governor Lincoln
charged, in some of the Boston and Mid
dlesex papers, with inconsistencies in rela-
ton to his conduct on the subject of the
free bridge. So far as we have any knowl-
edge of this affair, we are satisfied that the
charges are groundless, and that the course
he has pursued has been uniformly consis-
tent, Independent and judicious. The
friends of the free bridge say, that, mas
much as he approved of the South Boston
free bridge, there was no reason why he
should not have given his sanction to the
other. But the two cases are not analo-
gous, and, even if they had been, there
would not even i'll that case have existed
any ground for the charge, for the act of
incorporation Of the South Boston free
bridge was made and approved before Gov
ernor Lincoln came into Office, and, with
every candid mind, this must discharge
him even from the possibility of being
thought inconsistent; for the first act,
which invested the city of Boston with
power to build the bridge in question, was
passed the 25th of February, 1926, and
was approved by Lieut.. Gov. Norton
The present or new act, passed the 4th of
March of the current year, is only subst-
tute for the act of 1925, giving the power
to individuals named in the act instead of
the city of Boston. This must, of course,
have been done by the advice and with
the consent of the city authority; and, had
the Governor refused his signature to this
last act, it could have effected nothing, for
the act of 1925 would have then remained
in force. This operates only as repeal
of the former one, and differs from it no
further than in investing the right in indi-
viluals instead of the city of Boston.

SCHOOL FOR INsTRUcToRs. We under
stand that, in consideration of the liberal
donations of the inhabitants of Lancaster,
James G. Carter, Esq. has determined to
locate his Seminary for Instructors in that
town. The inhabitants of Shrewsbury,
with liberality highly praise-worthy, sub
scribed $4,000 for the same purpose, with a
view to its location there. But as they
have been disappointed in this expectation,
it is in contemplation to appropriate the
same, or part of it, to the endowment of
a seminary for the higher branches in that
town.
