search for himself It would also lead to
discussion among the children out of school
hours. They would naturally talk over the
mltter with other members of the school in
order thus to pick up information, and by this
collision the minds of all would be improved.
But it seems to rs, that the great advan-
tage of this exercise by topics, would be to
make education more practical Children
are too frequently book-worms. They know
nothing on given subject, out of the book
Perhaps it is too severe to say they know
nothing out of the book; but the ordinary
method of teaching seldom draws out their
past stores of observation. Children are OBJ
servant; but are deferred from repeating their
observations before others; because they get
in habit Of slavish dependence upon their
books. En- pussant, would it not be wise
exercise, to ask pupil to give description
of all that he may have seen worthy of re-
membrance, during tho dayl This would
exercise his memory, his powers of observa-
ton, his language, and his taste in choosing
such matters as even the educated mind of
his teacher might deem worthy of note.
This practice would also show the bent of
each pupils mind; this would enable the
teacher to give the child's observation pro-
per direction, and to discipline his curiosity
so as to make it useful to himself, rather than
annoying to others. 1t would also be in the
nature OF composition; in truth, it would be
a spoken composition. 1t is well known that
children have great difficulty in describing
any thing they wish to represent Fitting
words come hard. But, however trite, it is
truly said that practice makes perfect. Hence
an exercise of this kind in schools would
give the scholars a readiness of manner and
a fluency ofspeech which might well DO call
ed preparatory lessons in oratory and practi-
cal elocution. ..-..
We have thrown these few remarks togeth-
er on subject, than which none can be
more interesting to the two millions Of peo-
pie in this State. 1t should DO the aim oil
all TO improve our common schools They
arc the nurseries of American prosperity and
American character Every ono can help
No one should hesitate to suggest improve.
ments, especially in the method Of teaching
These suggestions will be discussed, and
probably disputed; but if truly useful, we
have no donbt that reason will compel theil
adoption.
Educational science is evidently far behind
the other sciences. The reason is manifest
The attention of people has been more di
reCted to other sciences, as of more striking
utility; but education is now assuming it
just importance. The discipline of the mint
and the proper food required for its ample
vigorous and healthy development, from
youth to the grave, is occupying the attention
of some of the first minds of the age. Tn
f people also begin to feel gradually the price
lessness of proper education; for it is NOR,
manifest every hour, that this is the only Ell
tectual safeguard, even in democratic GO
vern'nent, TO prevent power stealing from tn
many to the feu.

,ercharge. Blu. for that producer to trade
with merchant Of Montreal, is held, in
the logic Of tariff legislators, wrong and
deleterious. Is it desirable that Buffalo
and New York should carry on an un
restricted and open commerce? Why not,
then, Quebec and New York; Is it good
that the navigators Of the sea board are
allowed, without let or hindrance, 10 pur-
chase the timber Of Maine! Why then is
it q bad thing. if they should cross the
St. Lawrence river, and buy their timber
in Canadai
The interests Of nations foreign to each
other are often not more distinct than are
those of the states of this confederacy.-
A citizen Of this city, so far as commerce
IS concerned, has as close relation to the
citizens Of London, as he has to the citizens
of New Orleans; an inhabitant Of New
Jersey is not farther from Partisan, than
he is from an inhabitant Of Missouri
What interest, then. has the Jerseymau
in sustaining freedom of trade with the
Missourian, which is not equally strong in
inducing him to contend for freedom OIL
trade with the Partisan?
We should like to see some of the dis
ciples of Mr.. Clay undertake the elucida
ton Of this matter.

together. The empty pistols were thrown
down and the knives used. He rushed on
with great ferocity, and tried to grapple
with me, but slipped out of his arms; and

stood still, listening for the place of the
other. think he mus; have heard me, for

We were so close together, that he was

ment, but | met him with the knife, and
from that time we never separated again.

| Such is the tale, as nearly as the writer
can remember, that was related to him.
Should it be said that he met with TO-
mancst, in that case, his only hope is thai
he may meet with another such every day
of his life; though his firm and well foun
ded belief is, that all the details are per
fectly true.
