time and la it's but half day, and she is
SO smart, she can catch up with her class to-
morrow" is frequently an excuse urged by
fond mother, for allowing her daughter some
indulgence, it would be better she should dis
pense with while the boys are often taken
off by their fathers to run errands, or permit
ted to play truant, from similar inconsider-
ateness. The worst Of it is, the blame at
least comes upon the innocent instructor
His classes are deranged by IN unequal pro-
gress between those who are occasionally alb
scnt-lessons partly got are forgotten, and
the ground is to go over again-an impaticnce
of the restraints Of the School, together with
the modification Of losing post of honor, or
not reaching some object in view, which a.
mother, who has steadily pursued it, has in
the mean time attained, are inevitable conse-
quences of few days absence-and then
when the quarter comes round, the parent is
sure to find fault with the teacher, because
the child is not so far advanced as some of
his mates who have not lost day during the
tenn. Perhaps this feeling is sometimes car
ried so far, that child is taken away from
School, on the ground Of the supposed ne
glect or incapacity of the instructor when
the only difficulty has been the constant in
,terraptions to the progress of the pupil, oc-
casioned by the indulgence of tie parent.
All our public and private Schools suffer
more or less from this Inconvenience, and it
. is one that parents who have the best inter-
est of their children at heart, should carefully
study to avoid.

THE YOUNG WIFE.

The young wife should remember that she
has chosen her own lot in life, she has con-
nected it with her husband and if by decree
Of an all-wise Providence, he becomes poor
and embarrassed, it is her duty to aid him by
kindness-not to mutter or oppress him by
her i'll temper Upon the male sex, the task
ofproviding the means of subsistence is, in
society, almost exclusively imposed: and con-
sequently, when they become distressed and
have not wherewithal to provide for their part
ners, they suffer doubly. They have not on
ly their prvations to regret, but yours also
and the worlds frown, and the world's-oiten-
times unjust-seusure, falls exclusively upon
the husband. The wife can hide herself from
the world, but the husband must face its pride
its prosperity. May ALL young wives be
permanently prosperous but, for their own
sakes and the honor Of womanhood, we ad-
monish them not to let adversely, should it
unfortunately lay its iron hand upon them,
induce them to depart from that affectionate
conduct in word or deed, which they owe to
their husbands, and conduct themselves in
such manner as to do away the truth of The
old provsrb-"When poverty comes in at the
door, love flies out at the window"

LUCK.


One man sucks an orange s. is choak-
ed by pip, another swallows penknile
and lives; one runs thorn into his hand
and no skill can save him, another has
the shaft of a gig passed completely
through his body, and RECEIVERS; one
is overturned on smooth common and
breaks his neck, another is tossed out of
gig over Brighton cliff, and survives;
one walks out on'a windy day and meets
his death by brick bat, another is
blown up in the air, like Lord Hutton,
in Guernsey Castle, and comes down
uninjured. The escape Of this noble
man was indeed miracle. An explo-
sion of gun powder which killed his mo-
ther, his wife, some of his children, and
many other persons, and blew up the
whole fabric Of the castle, landed him
and his bed on wall overhanging a
tremendous precipice. Perceiving the
mighty disorder, he was going to step
out Of his bed to know what the matter
was, which if he had done, he would
have been irrecoverabIy lost; but in the
instant Of his moving, flash oflightning
came and showed him the precipiee,
whereupon he lay still till the people
came and took him down.

never, never con,es--and he, to use
homely phrase ofDr. .Franklin's "scratch-
es poor mans head as long as he lives"
How many desi gns have we formed,
of doing this and that good thing, which
fell through, not because we had little
time-but because we had time enough,
and SO wasted one hour after another, till
the time had passed.
Time enough to work, says the idler
and the spendthriit-but his clothes wear
out before he finds time enough to earn
new ones-and his pockets are emptied,
and he has not fine enough to replenish
them.
Franklin has homely saying, to this
edect,-that he who loses an hour in
the morning, must run all day, and tits a
wonder if he overtakes his business, be-
fore night So if any one finds himself
pinched for time, it is likely he has thrown
away an hour, when he thought he had
ttme enough and little to spare.
Time enough say ,oe, when in serious
mood, we resolve to be more diligent,
more systematic, more punctual, when
we resolve upon any reform.
We do moi mean to procrastinate-bu'
while we muse, the moment passes, and
then it is rrecoverably lost.
Do you say We know all this before.
! No doubt of it. Yet we are apt 10
think there is not only time enough, but
some to spare. But this is an error, and
ought to be corrected.
The different length Of difIere n, lives
is nothing against our position, that life is
just long enough. The Oldest person
has enough of duty and enough of plea
sure too, if he lives Alright, to occupy his
three-scorc years and ten; while he
whose sun goes down at noon, has tim'
enough, if he will but improve it, to make
his life here blessing to. others, and
that hereafter blessed and glorious te
himself.

MEMORY.

How a single word-a single tone-a
single look will sometimes give the key
TO a mystery. There are moments when
conception, awakened we know not how,
flashes like lightning through all space,
illuminiEg at once a world that was be-
fore all darkness. One single tone will
sometimes touch the electric chain of
memory, and run, brightning, over a
thousand links in the past, which con-
meet that to thoughts Of days long gone
by.

A WARSING.-This morning a young lad
of ten or twelve years of age was tried be-
fore the Court of Common Pleas. lie was
convicted of disfguring the wall in the en-
trance Of the Methodist Meeting House by
writing obscene and libellous words thereon,
and sentenced to thirty days Imprisonment in
the house Of correction. This should be a
warning to careless lads, who often unthink-
ingly commit such offences--and should
teach them to shudder at being engaged in
any misdemeanor, that will bring disgrace
upon themselves, and carry pain and anguish
to the bosom Of their parents. Let every
body who reads this, take warning.-[N b.

THE BEST WAY TO BE HAPPY.

! THE BEST WAY TO BE HAPPY.
Never sit down and brood over trou-
bic of any kind. Ifyou are vexed with
y oursell or the world, this is no way to
obtain satisfaction. Find yourself en-
ploy yment that will keep your mind ac-
tive, and depend upon it this will force
cut unwelcome thoughts.
Who are the poori Are they the in
dustrious ! Those who labor, provided
their gains are small, have generally a
feeling Of independence with that little
akin to the rich mans treasure.
Who are the unhappy 4? Are they not
those who are inactive, and sit still and
tell US, if fortune had only thrown this
and that in their way, that they should
have been far happier =?
II seems to me there is great defect
in the conduct Of the unfortunate. If we
are deprived Of ordinary resources, in
stead of looking round and substitu'in
other things, are we not prone to sit down
and mourn what we haye lost ? This
deadens the energies, kills the activity of
our natures, and makes us useless
drones, when we should be working
bees.
Besides this, incidence sets fancy at
work, and presently we imagine our
selves to be in a condition, that we are
unfit for work. We get the habit of OBJ
serving the change Of the wind, we feel
our pulses, look at our tongues, and in a
short time become regular dyspeptics.-
Industry then, preserves health, as well
as happiness.

BsENCE FROM SCHOOL

There is one thing in connection with all
Schools, Of which parents are not sufficiently
sensible, and in reference to which they are
often excessively unreasonable. We refer
to the practice oftaking off their children oc-
casionally from School, either for purposes of
business or pleasure, though most usually for
the latter. This is little thought Of, at the

with the established custom of literary institu-

ter this class are supposed to be well acquant-
ed with the Latin authors, and consequently the
practice of speaking the Latin language will be
introduced during the time of the class Every
admirer Of rational liberty should be anxious to
arrive at the knowledge of TRUTH by correct
mode of logical reasoning, so necessary at the
present day to enable man to discover truth
from falsehood, certainty from doubt, and opin-
ion from fact. Philosophy was the decus e 1uta-
men of ancient and illustrious men, and whether
they signazed themselves, as statesmen, poets,
orators or in the field of battle, they were well
instructed in the principles of sound philosophy.
We have only to examine the works of Homer,
Virgil, Cato, Cicero, and other luminaries to be
convinced Of its utility and antiquity. 1t began
to flourish among the Chaldeans and Egyptians
and spread into Greece, where it found soil
congenial to its nature, as the writings of
Thdtes, Pythagoras, Zeno, Plato and ARISTOTLE
inform u.s. Their writings were eagerly and
attentively studied by the Grecians, Romans
and Egyptians, until the glory and honor of the
Roman Empire began to decline, after expe-
rencing the shock of barbarism.
The proprietor and teachers of the Academy
feeling deeply interested not only in the progress
of the pupils in their studies, but also in their
moral conduct, will use every eXertion to pre-
vent any cause Of complaint either on the part
of the pupils or parents The rules of the In

enforced by persuasive means; and if any Of
