THE BLUE TlcKET.-At the June Sab
/ bath-school concert in Philadelphia, a
distinguished clergyman of Massachusetts,
addressing unconverted teachers. stated
that when he first undertook the duties
Of Il teacher in his youth, he was not pi.
Gus but on one occasion, as he was
about to givea blue ticket to one of his
pupils, he read this verse on ii, "fle that
beins often reproved, hardeneth his neck
shall suddenly be destroyed, and that
without remedy" He felt that this was
description Of his own character, and
that he had reason to fear that such would
be his punishment. He kept the ticket
for his own use; he carried it with him
to college; the words never left his men,
mory, and he believes that they were one
of tie principcl means Of leading him to
the Saviour.-IJid.-
The Deaf and Dmb.-The Asylum
for the deaf and dumb at Hartford, is in a
highly prosperous condition. The total
number Of pupils, who have enjoyed its
benefits during the year ending on the 18th
ultimo, was l39; of whom lS were sup
ported by their friends, Is wholly or in
part by the Legislature of Maine, II by
that Of New Hampshire, lS by that of
Vermont, 10 by that of Massachusetts,
If by that of Connecticut, 5 by that OF
South Carolina and 9 by that Of Georgia,
while 3 we're exclusively indebted to the
funds Of the Asylum for the means of
subsistence and the facilities Of educa-
ton. The present annual charge for
each pupil is only 500, thong h the actu'
al expense every year exceeds l3O dol
lars. The balance is contributed by the
institution itself.
Since the incorporation Of the Hartford
Institution, the number of those who have
enjoyed its benefits, is 5l5-2S9 males and
226 females. The New Hampshire Patriot,
states that the above were members Of
457 families, o: which % contained more
than one deaf and dumb person-viz: 81
have contained 2 each, - have contained
each, 10 have contained 4 each, 6 have
contained 5 each, 9 have contained 6 each,
and one persons of this class-although
in three instances only was one of the pa
rents in these families deaf and dumb. OF
the 5l5 educated, 2l5 were born deaf,
230 owed their calamity 10 sickness or ac-
cident, and in regard to 60 the cause is not
ascertained. Ofthe pupils, 372 have been
educated by the bounty of their respective
States, and l30 by the assistance of their
own relatives. Their ages on admission
were as follows-under ID, 2l3; between
Is and 25, 26O; and AZ upwards of 20.
Nearly 400 pupils have ceased to be con-
nected with the Asylum, large part of
whom sustained unblemshcd characters
in society-36 are married, 33 are COM
municants in different churches, several
arc employed as teachers, while many are
successfully Employed in various other oc-
cupations and pursuits.
