N00 tenaClty WWt WutCu usO AA'Ss"'uS. hold to inc honors and antiquity of theiI Kindred: A dispute arose between Camp bell and M'Lean upon this never ending subject. M'Lean would not allow that the Campbells had any right to rank with the M'Leans in antiquity, who, he insisted were in existence us a clan from the begin ming of the world. Campbell had a little more biblical lore than his antagonist, and asked if the elan M'Lean was before the flood ! sss Flood what dood2" said M'Lean. q The flood that you know drowned all the world but Noah and his family and his flocks,n said Campbell s.Rooh! you and yourA flood, i" said M'Lean ss nv clan was afore the food" z" have not read in my Bible, ,'' said Campbell, ' oI the name of M'Lean going into Noah's ark. r $ Noahs ark'!" retorted M'Lean iu contempt, who ever heard of M'Lean that had not a bset of his own 2" :, \

 Hosc to make tks clssldren hGte their in- strssctor.- parents speak i'll of him. Or, if nothing more, let them snsi'suGte <; for this in fact, is the most effectual means. Let them speak of his failings, and never ofhis excellencies.
 Phe instructor should never converse with his pupils, except when compelled to hear. their lessons. He should arrive at school little later than the appointed hour never earlier. When school is cIos- ed, he. should go immediately about other business, and pay no more attention tohis pupils till the hour of school returns. He should never assist the small children in ad- justing their clothes, &c. .z5
 He should always wear gloomy counte- nance. and keep a rod and ferule in the school. Ills person. n4sa -draas .slss.sld be disregarded. He must avoid interchanging withhis children all those little civilities, and customary salutations, which are com mon, such as good nsOsssing, good eveniag, 2 &c. The pupils should be compelled to bow to him, and to others but the instruct or should never bow to his pupils.
 During school hours, if necessity re- qnires that the instructor should speak to his scholars, let the igsperGtiUe mood al- ways be used. Never say, You mag do this or that; Ishould like to have 1t done, or, it ought to be done: but say. Go and do t.. Never tell them how il ought t0 be done, but if they do not perform it accor- ding to your wishes, be sure to find fault.
 When the instructor first takes charge of \ the school, he should make long code of laws; thus nianifesting to the pupils that he has no confidence in them: for this will diminish their self-respect, as well as their love for him, or for each other. Let him have suspicious of an evil disposition in certain scholars, and let him insinuate the saine in sthe hearing of some other scholar, or some parent. Let him manifest in one word that he has no love for his employ nlent or for his pupils; and he will soon ind they have no love for him. Con,s. Obs.

 The following anecdote is . good illus tration of Faults advice to Timothy. Pro- lessor s. while giving an exegetical lecture upon the episstle of Timothy, came to the verse here quoted. The students imagin- ed that considerable ingenuity would be requisite to explain the text so far as to a. void collision with the temperance meas ures. He professor, after the verse was read. said in substance as folio ows N What aEematkable temperate young man Tim otlay wass that it should reqnire the author- ny ot an insptred apostle to induce him to drink water 10 longer, but use little wine ! even wlaen his health required itl Very sew at the present day arc SO scrupulous as \ U regards drinking wine..'
