They have successively disappeared and

oftho church? She rose from ashes flesh
in beauty and might. Celestial glory
beamed around her. She dashed down the
monumental marble of her foes, and they
who hated her, fed before her. She has
celebrated the funerals of kings and king
doms that plotted her ruin, and with the in.
scriptions Of their pride, has transmitted to
posterity the records Of their shame. How

divine power, his gospel, secret, silent,

DIR. HUMPHREYS THOUGHTS ON EDUCATION.
Early Habits.
Several Of these, which involve high par.
entail responsibility, have specified already.
Others, more than | have time 10 notice,
will doubtless occur 10 the readers OF the
Observer. Allow me just to glance at the
following.
Prompsituae and Strict PunctuaAty.
You will observe some children, in faml.
les where you visit, if not in your own, that
are never ready to 60 at the first bidding.
They must be requested or commanded t"
do some little thing, twice. perhaps three
or four times, before they can be induced
to move. They do not mean to break the
the fifth commandment, but on the contrary
to honor and obey their parents, in al! things:
They are not quite ready, however, and
,hey are sure it makes no difference, wheth.
er they 20 this minute or the nex:. They
want to read to the next paragraph, or to
hear story through, or TO warm themselves
lrle longer, or to he INDUCED IN some
other equally frivolous excuse Tor lingering.
Now this is a very bad habi', which ought
never to be winked at, and which indeed is
never formed, but under mis-; aiken parental
! indulgence. If your child does not hear
and OBEY you the first time how can you BE-
sure that he will The second, or even he
third, unless the loud and altered tone Of
YOUR voice should convince lnm, that you
are quite out Of p,;ience. and that II will not
do to lipger any longer :! How often DO
children, when they have no thought ol DIS
obeyns, wait Till the chere is forgot on. or
the parent is obligrd to do it himself, Of
which, however, tie has no right to com.
plain, as it is his own fau!:. But he injury
TO then, is very great, in thus early allowing
them to form habits Of procraslInaIon,
which they will be very apt to carry along
with them hrou life and which, need
not say. will be extremely inconven'ent both
to themselves and their friends. "SamueI,
nv son, such thing is wanted, will you at.
tend to il!'' q Yes sir"-and then reads
on. "Samuel, did you hear me! Inc
fire is getting low, or your mother wants
your assistance" Still the boy is not quite
ready 10 START. Then start him, and IN such
a way that he will not hereafter E''s'ake

on the subject. The friends Of both were
present, and it is said that Robertson rea-
soned 18th accustomed clearness and pow.

reasoning or not We cannot tell but al any
rate he did not acknowledge his conviction.
Hume was very much Ola gentleman, and,
as he rose to depart, bowed politely to those
in The room, while. as he retired through the
door, Robertson took the light to show him
the way--"O SIR" he continued, 81 find
the light Of nature always sufficient" as he
bowed on. The street. door was opcn.and
presently, as he bowed along the entry, he
8 umbled over something concealed, and
