FARMERS AND THEIR CHILDREN

The paramount duty of the agricuturlst is to ell
eVate his class, and place himself in the position
to which he is entitled No idea more fatal to the
supremacy of the farmer ever possessed him, than
that of educating some one child in particular for
what is denomlnaed the learned professions. Let
agrcultursts educate their children thoroughly, re-
CARELESS Of any such partial, unfair, and unjust
consideration. AS agrlcuIturlsts, let them educate
their children as agrlcuturists. Let them not give
bread TO one, and stones and serpents to the others
Let them bear in mind that education adorns and i'm.
proves the cultvator of the SOIL as much as it does
the Lawyer, the Doctor, or the Divine 1t Il very
false notion and unworthy the citlzens of free
Republic, that education was not necessary to the
cultvator OF the soil When reflect that this IS
free country, and that freedom only be pre-
served by the pure light that Is reflected by knowl-
edge, eau the cultNutor Of tne soil hesitate a mo-
ment to put his shoulder to the wheel? Ii he
loves his children, educate them: if he loves his
country, educate them. 1t is a duty he owes t.
both children and country.

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. The Pledge and STAN
dard relates the following incident Of Phladel-
phia son of Neptune:
"a clever sailor has lately joined the sons of
Temperance in Philadelphia, after running a course
of dissipation by which his means were pretty well
exhausted. At the time of signing the pledge he
was indebted to the rumseller one shilling. A few
days ago he went to pay off the score, but being
determined not to enter the house in which he had
been robbed, he got a long pole, attached the
piece of money to the end of it. and standing at the
outside OF the door reached it to the astonlshed
publican, and marched off with Jolly heart"

A KEY FoUND 1T is stated in foreign Jour-
nal that Rev. Mr.. Foster has recently discovered
key to the ancient language of Araba-the long
lost "tongue of Pamyar"--the language of the
ratrlarch job! There is the deepest interest at
tached to this discovery, as by lis means those an
clent Inscriptions which abound on the coast of Ar
aba, and whose Interpretation has hitherto bafled
the efforts of the most learned oriental ngusts,
may now be deciphered with great fidelity, thus
bringing us, as 1t were, into immediate connection
with the ancient inhabitants of the land of Uz"-

GEOLOGICAL SURvEY.-The Galaxy states that
curious discovery has recently been made of
deposit IN Peachau, several feet thick, which con-
ssts almost entirely of the fnty shells of animal
cules, so minute that piece ofhe earth as large
pea contains millions of these little shells, which
being composed OF flint, have perfectly retained
their beautiful and curious forms. similar depos-
it exists IN Londonderry, and others will doubtless
be discovered. The earth resembles mari in color
and fneness, but the PARTICLES being of flint, it is
very useful as polishing powder. Although of a
different nature from mari, it has been used on land
with much success.

u Consult your own conscience; what does
say is the great end of life Listen to its voice
in the chambers Of your own heart. It tells you
that there is only stream that is pure and that
stream flows from the throne of God; but one aim
that is noble, and worthy of an immortal spirit, and
that Is, TO become the friend of God, so that the
soul may wing its way over the grave without fear
without dsuay, without condemnation There is
only one path passing over the earth, which is safe,
which Is light, which is honorable. 1t is that one
which Jesus Christ has marked out in his word,
and which leads to glory. Let conscience speak,
when you are tempted to waste day, or an hour,
or to commit any known sin, to neglect any known
duty and it will urge you by all the high and holy
motives of eternity to live for God, to give your
powers to Him. 10 seek His honor in all you do

may be interesting to you, and perhaps you may be
able to account for i'll cannot you may dispose
Of it as you please.
The fact is this AS | was returning from Pier
mont, where | preached on the last day of Novem-
Der, on Monday, the first Of December, | saw on
the snow which hal fallen during the night what
supposed to be oats, spread broadcast; but not
seeing any track in the snow, for was the first
that travelled the road since the Stow had fallen,
my curiosity led me to descend from my carriage
and examine; when, to my great surprise, | found
that the objects | saw were liUing ,rorms about an
inch long, lying on the top of the snow by hun
dreds and these were scattered along the road |
travelled for distance of not less than five miles.
invited gentleman in whose word every one ac-
quainted with him has perfect confidence to exam
Inc them, that might have testimony beside my
own in an affair which appeared to me so wonder
full. Can you tell whence they came, or throw any
light on the subject? | would say farther, that
there were no trees near from which they might
have been shaken, and if there were, and worms
had been on them, they would have been frozen,
for it had been very cold, and the ground fro
zen hard before the snow fell These were alive
for they Immediately coiled up when | took them
in my hand. They were of brown color with
about II or Is legs.

Industry. The hear and mind can as little lie
barren as the earth wherein we move and have our
being, and which, if it produce not herbs and fruit
meet for the use of man, will be overrun with
weeds and thorns. Muley Ishmael, a parsonage of
tyrranica celebrity In his day, always employed his
troops in some active and useful work, when they
were not engaged in war, "to keep them," he said,
from being devoured by the worm of indolence.'
