REV. JONAS KING.

We recoilect to have read several years
since, an interesting incident which was
related by the late Hon. VIM. H. Maynard,
of Utica, at a meeting convened for the.
purpose of advancing the cause of educa-
ton. 1t was cause which was near TO
his heart, and he sealed his attachment to
it, as well as that of his property, to en-
dow professorship. Mr.. Maynard STAT
ed, that when he was young man, he
was engaged in teaching school in one
of the eastern states. One morning in
winter, on entering his school-room, be
found a lad sitting upon one of the bench
es, who was otone of his scholars. He
Immediately entered into conversation
with him, and learned that be was the son
of very poor parents, who lived at the dis
lance of some miles from his school. that
the lad came to see him for the purpose
of ascertaining whether he could not
make some arrangements by which he
could acquire an education. He frankly
informed Mr.. M. that he had no friends
who could assist him, that his parents
were poor. and that he must rely upon his
own unaided exeriions. Pleased with the
heroic and determined spirit of the lad,
Nh. NJ. set himself about devising means
to assist him. He procured a place FOR
him to board, where be conld pay his
charges by his labor-his instruction he
gave to him without compensation. When
school was ended in the spring, the lad
was found to have made great progress,
and to have realized the hopes of Mr.. VI.
He engaged the clergyman off The Placeto
continue his instruction. Such was the
commencement of the life of a now distin-
guished man-for that lad is now the
Rev. Jonas King. whose profound learn
ing and research in Oriental literature
has shed lustre upon the name Of Amef-
lean scholars.

~ thing that passes in their minds. On
multitudes ofoccasions, they have thoughts,
and not unfrequently you will find manifest
suggestions from Satan, which, if known
to you. might enable you to do them i'm
mense good. Now. ifyou accustom them
to throw their little minds open 10 you.
and TO feel that you. in every thing sym.
pathize with them, that they may have the
most perfect confidence in you, you will
naturally como to be, as you ought to be,
their confident and their counsellor. But
if you will not give your time to this-if
you turn off and say, o, cannot attend to
you, or if you treat them harshly. or sar-
castically-if you mortify them, AMI treat
them with unkindness--if you manifest no
sympathy with and for them. after repeat
ed attempts to get at your heart, finding
themselves baf11ed, they will turn sadly
away, and by degrees seek sympathy and
counsel from others. Thus you will lose
your own influence over them, and give
them over to other influences. that may
ruin them. How amazingly do parents
err in these respects. Father-Mother-
! how sadly do you err-how grievously
do you injure your chi!dren-nay, how
almost certainly will you ruin them, if you
drive them, by your own wickedness, or
leave them, to seek for confidential com-
partnership away from home.
