paper because he reads of names and
things which are very familiar, and he
will make progress accordingly. A
newspaper in one year (says MIR.
Weeks) is worth a quarters schooling
to child, and every father must con-
slider that substantial information is
connected with this advancemeni.--
The mother Of the family being one of
its heads and having more immediate
charge OF children, she should herself

fortified against the ills of life. and
is braced for any emergency. Children
amused by reading or study, are Of
course considerate and more easily
governed. How many ,houghtess
young men have spent their earnings
in tavern or grog-shop, who ought

the sudden resignation and retirement
Of Mchemet Ali, history has already
begun 10 record him in its pages as one

IS an honor to be tyran, and weakness
TO be true hearted or mindful of the
iow!y. Mehemet Ali. whatever his
faults, is one Of the IIeros Of the age,
and the glory Of his name can never
be forgotten. The London Econo-
mist thus speaks Of him:
astonishing news have come from
ihe East. Mehemet Ali has resigned
the pachalic Of Egg p,-voluntarily ab-
dicated 4 throne which it took him a
long life 10 procure, and which he has
occupied, every thing considered, with
an advantage to the civilized world
which viii immortalize his name. He
has been great minded to the last
his son, who is said 10 have all his
passions, without his abilities or yir-
taos, will succeed him; and il is said
he old man was anxious 10 see him
seated on his throne before he should
die, fondiy hoping, that by advice,
while he lives, he may serve him bet
ter than by mere example, when he
dies. II has been avery unexpected
eveut however. and yc, remains most
~ unexplained. i isno unusual lhing
for old men, who have been renatka-
Bile 10 their hes: days for contempt OF

meantime The intention Of Mehemet
Ali, 10 retreat to the precincts of "the

possible TO conceive willingness TO

for ever lorsake them to take up his a

wherever he may 90 now, will occupy
a conspicuous place, no, only in histo-
