HVHE TEACHER, or Moral Influences en-
IL ploysd in the instruction and government Mt
of the Young intended chiefly TO assist young
teachers in organizing and conducting their
Schools: by JACOB ABBOTT, late principal OF
the Mt. Vernon Female School. Boston.
This work has been very justly recon-
nended as worthy place in every SchOolLbra-
ry. Although particularly valuable to leach
ers its usefulness is by no means confined 10
them. Parents will find the principles of fam.
lily government, and mote of interesting their
children in mental and moral improvement,
clearly and happily illustrated. while Trustees
of schools, and all concerned in the great sub
ject of education will see high and striking
model of what Teacher should be and some
means ofjudging ofbs fitness for business.
Mr. Emerson. in larger Work ON education,
places this book FIRST among the sources TO
which he has been most indebted, and says, i,
should be in the hands of all pers ,ns interested
in educaton.' He adds, it is full OF ingenious
devices for accomplishing the objects OF the
teacher in school, and especially for obtaining
an influence over pupils. For its moral tone
also, this book is of great value"

The American agents for Odridge's Balm of
Columbia, have deputies to sell that article
in Boston and else@ here. We know lady
IN the in this city whose hair was so nearly
gone as TO sxpose entirely her chronological
develoyements, which, considering that they
betokened a most amiable disposition, was
not, in reality. very unfortunate. Neserthe-
less she mou rned the loss of locks that she
had worn, and, after a years frui;Iess resort
TO miscalled rostoratives, purchased, some
months ago a bottle of or two. of Oldridge's
Balm, and she has now rinele lets in rich profu-

for we have now, through its virture, hair e.

The Balm of Columbia has been initiated by
a notorious counterfeiter. Let it never be
