quently been proposed to the subscriber,
he would say to all whom it may concern,
that students from abroad may have a
room and board themselves. Some are
now doing it at an expense less than one
dollar per week. The rent of rooms will
vary in proportion to their goodness and
locality. A small tenement can be hired
for a company Of eight or ten. If pro-
visions are brought from home, the ex-
pense will be very small: Under the
present arrangement feel a confidence
in recommending the Institution which
never have had before. The board Of
instruction is now full as may be seen by
the advertisement in another column
The expenses are as low, If not lower
than at any similar, Institution. Letters

SWEARING REPRovED-"A young
man having returned from sea, where he
had unhappily acquired the habit of pro-
fame swearing, went to visit friend in the
try;-when, walking in the garden,
and approaching too near a beehive, one
of them stung him on the head which
so excited his wrath, that he began to
strike violently at the bees with his hat,
uttering at the same time the most dread
full oaths and curses In the midst of his
fury, one of these little combatants stung
him on the tip Of that unruly member, his
tongue, which was so actively employed
in disappearing his Maker Thus can
the Lord engage one of the .meanest oil
his creatures in reproving the bold trans
gressor."

accomplished by its fundamentally, con-

quantity of matter-printed upon supe-
rior paper, and with a new and larger

DANGER OF LITTLE THEFTs-Many
wears since, two men were executed at
Carlisle, for burglury. a minister then
living in that city, was moved by compass
sion for the men, and applied to the Judge
for respite: he was informed, that on
account of the cruelty attending the rob-
berry, capital punishment must be infict-
ed His lordship recommended their hu-
name intercessor to use the on y means
which could now be available to the cul,
prits in preparing them by Christian in
struction for the awful change which a,
waited them. In the course Of his benev.
client visits to this gloomy abode, he ques.
toned the prisoners how they had been
led from the path of honesty to commit
such crimes. In answer to these inquiries
one of the unhappy men declared that hi:
first step to ruin was taking a half penny
out Of his mothers pocket wAile she qoa
asleep. From this sin he was led, BY
small but fatal degrees, to the crimes, fo1
which he was soon to suffer a shameful
death.-Pleosang Erpositor.

AN EvIL.-We have seen, in some
schools which have fallen under our no.
tice, the prevalence of the following prac-
tice, which we think an evil.
About five minutes before the close of
the school, "some Of the teachers, having
heard the recitations and finished their re-
marks to their classes, take their garments
and leave the school; the class in the
mean time being left to themselves, with
out the superintendent of any particular
individual, very naturally their minds I'M
mediately revert to other subjects than
those of the lesson the good effect pro-
duced by the instruction is diminished be-
fore it has been much thought upon-is
much sooner forgotten, and perhap s some
disorder arises in that class, disturbing
others in the vicinity, and calling off the
Superintendent from his duties to attend to
them" Ought this so to be? Will any
teacher, for the trif1ing personal inccnven-
fence of remaining FIVE minutes, allow his
class to suffer detriment and the others in
its vicinity, inconvenience This habit
arises undoubtedly from thoughtlessness {;
but great many evils arise from the same
cause, and need correction none the less
on that account.-Sa6bath School Treas

A LITTLE GIRL AT The
late Rev. Mr.. Reader, of Taunton, having
called one day, in the course of his pasto-
raj visits, at house of friend, affection
ateIy noticed little girl in the room, about
E years of age. Among other things, he
asked her if she knew that she had bad
heart, and, opening the Bible, pointed her
to the passage where the Lord promises
TO give new heart. He instructed her
to plead this promise in prayer, and she
would find the Almighty faithful to his
promise. About seventeen years after, a
lady came to him, to propose herself for
communion with the church of which he
was pastor; and how inexpressibIe was
his delight, when he found that she was
the very person with whom, when child,
he had so freely conversed on subjects of
religion, and that the conversation was
blessed to her conversion. Taking her
Bible, she had retired, as he had advised,
pleaded the promise, wept, and PRAYED I:
and the Lord, in answer to her fervent pe-
thions gave her what she so earnestly de-
sired, a neto heart.-Ib
