"Ihe causes of the inspiration il would
appear were that the editor wanted cer-
tain paper from a file, and it was missing.
The sentimental young man who had
charge of the files was called to task, and
his CONSERVATION and rage had been per-
petrated, was beyond description. After
standing for moment with teeth and fists
clenched looking unutterable things, he
rushed to the middle Of the room, cast one
tragic look to heaven, then shrieked out as

Cancer.

The following article is copied from an
Edinburgh paper:
""hlle was at Smyrna, there was
girl afflicted with the Cancer in her lin
and the gum was affected. The European
physicians consulted on the measures to h.
taken, ard agreed they saw no other meth
cd than TO cut it out; and the girl had al
ready submitted herself to that decision.
Dy an accident Of that nature which men
cannot account for, an old Armenian came
to them just in time TO prevent the applca>

tated, and so for three times in "a hours.
With this, the oil resolved itselfto the con
sistency Of an ointment, and by constantly
rubbing the part affected, he cured her IN

"The physicians supposed that the oil
received its virtue from the tin, and that it
was communicated by its long boiling over
the fire."

Curing Hums.--We repubIish the fol-
lowing method Of curing hams. There is
none better:
"For every hundred pounds of meat, take
five pints Of good molasses, (or five pounds
of brown sugar,) five ounces salpeire, and
eight pounds rock salt; add three gallons
OF water, and boil the ingredients over a
gentle fire, .himming off the froth or scum
as it rises. Continue the boiling till the
salt, &c, is dissolved. Have the hams
nicely cut and trimmed, packed in casks
with the shank end down, as the pickle
will thus strike in better. When the
pickle, prepared, as above, is sufficiently
cool pour it over the hams. They may
lie in pickle from two TO six weeks, accord
ing to the size oft the pieces or the state of
the weather--more time being required in
cold than in warm weather. Beef or NUT
ton hams, or tongue intended for smoking
or drying, may be cured according TO this
mode. and will be found excellent

THE SATURDAY

Nelc Volume, Neac Type,
Old Friendships
AND
NEW ATTRACTIONS.

The publishers of the SATURDAY EVEN
ING PosT feel constrained to make again
their acknowledgements to the reading pub
lie for the LIBERAL support which theirpape
receives. To show that they are not un-
mindful of the return which such patronage
requires, it would be entirely sufficient to
refer the reader to the established character
of
THE FIRESIDE FRIEND
which is pre-eminently the designation of
this paper. As newspaper, dependant
upon public patronage, grows by what il
feeds on, the publishers flatter themselves
that THE PosT has increased in interest and
value,with the steady and gratifying support
which has been accorded toit, for pc
riod of
A QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
In this time which has served for the life and
death ofwhole generations of periodicals..
and the rise, meridian, and decline of many
rival, The PosT has kept the even tenor Of
its way, by its own intrinsic health and
strength--now following, ofiener leading
ihe public taste, but not departing from i,s
independence to minister to the transient
newspaper follies, which, compared 10
the existence of the Post, are indeed ephe.

Education.

The following article on Education
copied from the ST. Louis New Era. suits
our views precisely, and we should be
pleased TO see it acted out. 1t would not
be long until the beneficial results arising
from such course on the part Of parents
or guardians, would be seen and felt; bul
SO long as they manifest no interest on the
subject, and seem to say by their indiffer-
ence, that they are willing to trust every
thing TO the teacher, it should be no mat.
ter of wonder if our schools fail to answer
the grand design Of their institution. In-
stead of frequent inquiries and examina-
tions as to what their children have learned.
and how far the proper means ofeducation
have been successfully exercised, too many
are content with furnishing them with
books, etc, and paying their tuition, think
ing that they have performed their whole
duty. And should the pupils not make
such progress as too many parents and
guardians are apt to think they ought. the
fault is all thrown upon the poor hireing
ofa teacher. This is wrong-let parents
and guardians take some interest in this
matter, and a change tor the better will
soon be perceptible. 1t is high time that
a remedy for existing evils had begun to be
applied.
fparents and guardians would pay
more attention to schools, and pay more
lively interest TO their welfare they would
he more useful and prosperous. Atten>
tion aud opruirv IN tho p,rt of ,>o,ron,
and others would be an encouragement,
and incentive to both pupils and teachers
to excel in the performance of their res
pective tasks. Occasional visits TO schools
from their patrons would have good ef-
feet in stimulating the young in the acqui-
sition of useful learning.
The mere act of sending pupils to
school, paying their tuition, and furnishing
them with books are not one half of the
duties of parents. They should by inqui-
ries, by examination and by friendly in
quiry ascertain what the pupils have lear
ned and remembcred-ho they have
been taught, what manner of intellect al
instruction is adopted, and how far the
proper means ofeducation are successfully
exercised. Both pupils and teachers need
to be stimulated to the very best perlor-
nance of their duties. If pupils find that
their parents are taking lively interest in
their progress and improvement, they will
redouble their diligence in order to meet
their appreciation. If teachers discover
that their patrons manifest a proper inter-
est in their schools and paw attention to
the manner in which they are conducted.
they will be more likely to be viglant, in
dusirlons and faithful in The business of in

Indifferent and careless as to the condition
and management of the public schools,
the teachers will probably also become in

be idle and dull. The public should take
