EDUCATION OF DAUGHTERs.-'lh un-
known, but certainly not unfclt, sage of the
Methodist Protestant,' 'Old Gilbert thus
discourses in the last of his series of lii,lt
nothings,' as he modestly calls his quaint es-
says.
Educate your daughter thoroughly. Wo-
man needs education more than MN. So
old Gilbert thinks. Woman moulds the
world. Woman gives character 10 the church.
You may depend on Old Gilbert in this opn-
ion. The instruction of daughters may be
confined to teachers, but the mother alone
can educate them.'
These words instruct and 'educate' as
used, are certainly not without their sgnif-
canoe. The term 'educatiOn' is far more
comprehensive than commonly supposed
Education should not cease with the school
roon.--Sat NiSiter.

REASON AND THE PAssIow--There is not
more energetic revelation Of the social de-
Walton of man, not a clearer proof of The
subverson in which he is plunged, than til.
revolt of his perverted and false reason
against his natural Attractions, against the
eternal Harmonies, toward which his noble
nature gravitates. The most striking and
synhetical affirmation of social evil, is to BE-
found in the fact, that man is sunk so deep,
y in evil, that he considers this evil as his
element. 1t is this fatal belief which has
paralyzed for so many centuries human intel
ligence, and has been an obstacle to any
bold search for an outlet, which would lead
from the present subvers.on to Harmony.-

farmer prevented from obt9inng the full and
natural reward due to his exettons, but mul
ttudes of the poorer class in every pursuit
are, by the force of circumstances, as direct'
ly and effectually compelled to resort to
some other, and to them novel, kind of labor,
IS ifthe officers Of the government had gone
to their abodes and commanded them to
chlnga.
The case of the planter is no better. Ii
he sells his cotton for iron he must pay a
fine of twenty-five dollars on every ton he
obtains from abroad; or else he must pur-
chase an article at the iron foundries of Penn
sylvania, which he never would have taken
unless so commanded by the circumstances
created under the new law of the govern
ment. Ii is useless to multiply instances
every one can see them and apply them. Ii
is in vain that we boast of our freedom OF
religion, our freedom ofsp p1ech, and freedom
of the press, so long as we have not free
dom of industry. A combination of unna-
tural circumstances created by an unjust law
of the government, makes slaves of large
mass of us. Yet it is our pompous boasi
that we have inherited from our fathers the
most perfect principles of civil and political
liberty. If this be true, then can we be
100 timid TO dare 10 carry them out, or So
weak and greedy as to sacrifice them to the
deceitful temptations of money!

There's nothing | hate so much as cant

clap your hand into your pocket, and lay
right hold of your pus, or he'll steal il, as
sure as you're alive; and il man cant in
politics, he'll sell you if he gets chance,
you may depand. Law and physic are iist
The slme, and every mite and mosel as bad.
1t lawyer takes to cantin, it's like the fox
rreachin TO the geese, he'll eat up his whole
congregation; and if doctor takes to it,

To CAUSE NEEDLES TO FLOAT tpoN Wa.
TER.-Place carefully fine, clean and per-
foclly dry sowing needle horizontally upon
water; it will swim, although the specific gra-
witty of the needle is considerably greater
than that of the water. This effect is owing
to the cohesive attraction of particles of wa
ter to each other, which the small weight of
the needle is not sufficient to overcome.

There is something so exqiisitely beautiful
in the following extract from an Illinois paper,
addressed 10 the princpll mistress of female
lcad' my in Quincy, that we could wish to
see it copied in every paper throughout the
Union.--Iroy Mail.
"lmagine for moment, that beautiful
diamond is placed in your hand, on which
you are required to engraVe sentiment,
which must be read at the great day of ac-
count, in the presence of listening angels,
md assembling worlds! What care would
yon exercise, what industry would you use
10 select from the vast commonwealth of
letters, sentence, pure, chaste, refined and
holy! No cost-,no pains-no efforts would
be lacking!
Permit me then to say 10 you, that this is
your present situation. Precious innocent
hearts, in all the purity of chldhood's de-
I'ghtful bloom, are placed in your keeping;
and the duty of engraving principles there,
which will oaeWesthe sun, and live-and
still live-and live on forever, devolves on
you. Yes these diamonds, more previous
than orient pearls-more costly than the
sweet little star that smiles the diving day

hands and locked up insihe archives of eter-
nifty. And when all nations shall be assem-
bled to hear their final doom, they will be

Of life, will catch The echo of your present

DEvELoPE THE Moral PowERs.---All our
moral powers exist in us. The highest am
of our teachers should be TO disengage and
call them forth, but this is what they think
the least Of Without trodbling themselves
IS 10 whether the house be already full;
hey only busy themselves about furnishing
it. They fatigue the intellect with their
wearisome maxims, and they leave asleepthe
faculties of the soul which could render
these maxims ineligible. To
speak TO little children of God, is in other
terms TO present TO their contemplation the
object to which all souls ought TO tend
Cause the sentiment Of infnity 10 recognize
itself in the presence of the infinite God,
and nothing will be lost even amidst our :er'
restrial passions, if from the depth Of their
darkness man has still a glimpse of the
radiant path to heaven y Is
there OH earth a vice which will not fall be-
fore the revelation of the beautifuR an error
which will not vanish before The light Of
reason? and is not conscience more powerful
than the sword, the flggot, torture or pleasure3
Develope in Caesar the moral sentiment which
animated Cato, and Rome will be free, and
Caesar will be great. Delelope in Alexander
the sentiment Of the beautiful which animated
Socrates; give to his ambition the.infnity of
virtue, and instead of conquering the world
Alexander would render it happy. A gene
rous thought in the soul of the mother Sas
then only required 10 save the human race.

MANNERs.--I make it "a point of morality
never to find fault with another for his man-
ners. They may be awkward or graceful,
blunt or polite, polished or rustic, care no,
what they are, if the man means well aud
acts from honest intentions, without eccen-
tricity or affectation. All men have not the
advantages of good society as it is callod, o
school them in all its fantastic rulos and GER
emones; and if there is any standard of
good manners, it is founded on reason and
good sense, and not upon those artificial re-
gulaton. Manners, like conversation, should
be extemporaneous, not studied. | always

Age and experience will teach them that

men are to be judged by their principles and

who is born in Irelaud, or Great Britain, ol
Germany, is, on that account, not to be con-
sidered the equal Of another, born on til

THE ORANGE County MAsroDoN.
the entire skeleton Of this huge animal has

nam, six niles from Nowburgh, and is now
being set up at the latter place. AS all The
bones were in their proper places, the an
nal must have remained some thousand
years, perhaps, in the position in which he
sank down, which was upon his launches,
with his hind legs extended, and his head
thrown around upon his side. The length OF
the skull is 3 feet 10 inches; distance be-

hone 2 feet, whole diameter of peivis fee,

All the bones were in state of perfect pre-
servaton; bui the tusks fell to pieces on ex-
pusure to the air. The bone of the fore leg
set up with the shoulder blade, are s feei
high; the weight Of the head and usts is
S92 lbs, and all of the bones found, 1895
lbs, the number of bones being 220. The
length Of the skeleton is tsirty-tiree feet!---
We understand from a gentleman who has
seen the skeleton, that it will be exhibited
here soon; but as we have the one lately
brought from New Jersey, as well as the
Hydrrgos on exhibition, the anticipation Of
he proprietors may not be realized. Thls
is the eleventh skeleton Of this extraordinary
