PRIVATE EDUCATION.

TWENTY years have elapsed since commenced
a the instruction Of yonth, and cannot but feel
grateful for the patronage which has been extended
to me during that period. The great pleasure which
il gives me to mplan the seeds of virtue and know
ledge, renders this of the most delightful periods
of my life.
In the training of youth the great points are, to
form the character for virtue aud usefulness to give
them habits of regular and close applications and
pleasing and agreeable manners. In oIder TO accom-
plish these desirable objects, all my pupils reside un-
der my roof eat at the table with my family of
which they form purti and none others are admit
ted. Thus constantly brought into contact with me,
the discipline, which is strict aud firm, yet parental
psrtakes nearly may be- of the private, uniting
with il in degree the beneht of public instruc
tiun and Is addressed the hearts and good of
my pupils, where pract cable, rather than to their
fears. No pupil is admitted for shorter period than
ten months, unless by special agreement. The num-
Der admitted will in exceed 10 l6 and none
fourteen years, unless previously members of my
family except under extraordinary circumstances
None permitted to ramble at large and all

thodical, and-ageeable 10 such viruously dis
posed.
