PRIVATE EDUCATION.

TWENTY years have elapsed since commenced
i the instruction of youth, and canuo, but feel
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
I, me during that period. The great plea ure which
ledge, renders this one of the most delightful periods
of my life.
In the training of youth the great points are, to
form the character for virtue and usefulness TO give
them habits of regular and close application, and
Pleasing and agreeable manners. In older to accom-
IIish these desirable objects, all my pupils reside
der my roof, cat at the table with my family, of
which they form part; and none others are admit
ted. Thusconstantiy brought into contact with me,
the discipline, which is strict and firm, yet parental
partakes as nearly may be- of the private, uniting
with it in degree the benei Of public instruc
ton, and is addressed the hearts and good of
my pupils, where pacl cable, rather than t. their
fears. No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement. The III NJ
Der admitted will in exceed ID l6, and
over fourteen years, unless previously members Of my
family, except under extraordinary circumstances.-
None are permiiI' To rambe at large, and all
quired TO conform TO the regulations, Whch me-
hodlcsl, and agreeable 10 such vr,u1usy dis
posed.
