SEATS IN SCHOOL HOUSES

In discussion before the last annual
meeting of the American lnsiute of Instruc-
ton, Horace Mann made some valuable re-
marks in relation to seats in school houses
The following extract from an Interesting
report of the discussion IN the Commou
School Journal, contains views that cannot
be too generally circulated:
"Mr. Mann then spoke of the pernicous
consequences of this confinement. both in
regard to the health and mind of children
He considered it one of the many cases of
impaired health, now so observable in the
rising generation. aud among the young men
and women of our community. If there
were any thing which came near TO realize
the idea Of perpetual motion, it was Young

could keep young child still. Nothing but
the overpowering force Of fear could accom-
plish such an object Nature varied against
it, and therefore resort must be had to such
tcrrors as made nature quail. Childhood is
naturally the season OF the greatest activity,
both bodily and mental aud yet, at that Pc
Rod of lie, 1t was the practice to enforce
such degree of nac,ion as age itself could
not submit to. Obedience to the regulations
of most schools for young children, would
cause absolute slagnation, both of body, and
mind 1t impeded all the vital functions

blood would almost cease to flow, the hear,

All these evils were aggravated, a hundred
fold, by the Stools oftorture, where this ST.

on seats where they could not touch the

Aud spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer
How quieilythe still hour oftwiIight steals
on. The suns last golden ray. which lin
gered so long upon the eastern mountains,
as "if parting were sweet SORROW" has dis
appeared. The last rosy tint is fading from
ahc evening cloud. A deeper shadow settles
over the valley. One by one nights un-
wearied watchers" shine out in their "far
off depths" The bird folds its weary wing
within its little nest. The murmur of the
bee is stall. "rhe busy hum of man" is
hushed. For brief space the restless world
reposes. 1t is the hour of prayer and med-
tation--the Sabbath Of the day.
"All is so still, so soft in earth and air,
You scarce would start to meet a spirit there
Secure, that naught of evil could delight.
To walk in such n scene on such night"
1t breathes its own blessed quiet over the
Christians spirit, aud disposes him to deep
and earnest commnnngs with himself, and
with his Father. The world looses It's hold
upon his heart; wealth, pleasures. honors,
earth's vain array, seem now but what they
are-ilusions, fleeing shadows. Cares and
yexations, which, perhaps, too much occu-
pied his mind, and ruhed his temper during
the day, now sink into their real insignif-
canoe. He lifts his eyes to the magnificent
armament above him, and feels he is but a
Speck, an atom, in the vast creation he
thinks of his immortal spirit. and the price

Then serious, but pleasant thoughts pos

senSeless clay which mouders there death
cannot touch the immortal spirit; that is not
shrouded in the grave.
But the twilight fades, darkness gathers,
deeper silence pervades all nature. 1t is
to him the "still small voice" Of his Father,
and he "wraps his face in his MANTLE" and
bows down in prayer.
