EDUCATIONAL.
Common School Education,

Common School Education is the Education
of the people. The Education of any people
should be adapted to the government under
which they live. Fear and implicit subsection
are the basis of a tyranncal government, and
ignorance secures both. Love of country, pub
lie and private virtue are the basis of a free Re-
public, Intelligence of the people alone ensure
them. Ignorance and vice are concomitants :;
they disappear before intellectual and moral
training as the darkness retres before the dawn
Of morning and the rising day. In our Govern
ment the people are the sovereign power. By
agents Of their own appointment, they make and
execute the laws, establish and carry out dplo-
macy with foreign nations, regulate our internal
complex poity, and they fight their own battles
1t is they who must continue to defend our free
institutions, and hand them along through the
unseen vista of ages yet to come. For this the
people and the whole people, must be properly
educated. =" We repudiate," says an eminent
man, " as unworthy, not of freemen only, but of
men, the narrow notion that there is to be an
education for the poor as such" Has God pro
glded for the poor coarser earth, thinner air
a paIer sky Does not the glorious sun pour
his golden flood as cheerily upon the poor mans
home as upon the rich mans palace? Have
not the cotter's children as keen sense of all
the freshness, verdure, fragrance, melody and
beauty of luxurlent nature as the pale sons of
kings Or is it on the mind that God has
stamped the imprint of baser birth so that the
poor mans child knows with an Unborn certain
ty, that his lot is to crawl, not climb
1t is not so. God has not done it. Man can
not do it, Mind is immortal. Mind is imperi-
al. 1t bears no mark of high or low, rich or
poor 1t needs no bound of time or place, of
rank or circumstance. 1t asks but freedom
1t requires but tight 1t is heaven born, and it
aspires to heaven Weakness does not enfee-
bic it. Poverty connot repress it. Difficulties
do but stimulate its vigor. And the poor tai
ow-chandler's son. that sits up all the night to
read the book which an apprentice lends him,
lest the masters eye should miss it in the morn
ing, shall stand and treat with kings, shall add
new provinces to the DOMAIN of science, shall
bind the lightning with a hempen cord, and

bring = harmless from the Skies The Common
School is common, not as inferior, not as the
school for poor mems children, but as the light
and air are common 1t ought to be the best
school because it is the first school and in all
good works the beginning is one half Who
does not know the value to the community Of a
plentiful supply of the pure element of water?-
And infinitely more than this is the instruction
of the Common School for it is the fountain of
which the mind drinks, and is refreshed and
strengthened for its career of usefulness and gIo-
ry
II is too much the case, that parents pay lit
tie or no attention to the school. Unless their
children receive punishment, they scarcely seem
to know that there is such place All other
business they find time lors except the comfort
and ogress of their children in the all-impor-
tant g4,cceses Of their mental intellectual and
moral training. The Teacher, day after day.
and week after week, spends all his working
hours, full of soul, in training their children for
the affairs of life, without smile of encourage
ment from their parents. lie pcrchance, nay,
oltcntmes, does not even know their persons,
or they his. How can he, stranger in blood
not invited into your families, not tolerated in
your society, on whom you do not call, i'll whose
employment you scarce seem at all interested,
be expected TO- nay how can he feel and cxcr-
else the absorbing interest in the welfare Of your
children which his station demands? Can YOU
expect anything more of him than to deye
through his engagement as Wearlsome toll,
take his dollars, and, if he can forget such neg
Iect, forget you. No, no. my friends, this will
never do. Awake yourselves if you would arouse
others. Yours is the interest. The wealth for
which you toll to leave your children, may be
strpt from then-their health may faiI-frend,
may abandon them, and must debut their ed
ucation is hcirs. Nor time, nor accident, nol
of it. 1t is part Of themselves. 1t is with them
when they lie down, when they rise up, when
they walk abroad among men, and shall accom-
pany them into the unseen world. For this
great good the school house is the sanctuary anC
the Teacher the mlnsterlng angel. Receive
him then into your families, your choice socia
circles Visit the school room. Show yourself
both to him and to your children, to be deeply
interested in his and their employment, and give
him due reward, infinitely more valuable thcI
his pecuniary pay, your hearty Appreciation
BY this, and all other means in your power, SCI
that you make teaching not only a respectable
employment, but practically, what it abstractI
really is, an occupation of the highest dignity.

from scorchng the plants. Let each plant be taken
up carefully, with ball of earth attached to it, and
plant them in trenches, after the manner of cutivatng
celery, only with this difference, the distance from
plant to plant, in the lines, must be eighteen inches ;

of planting fower-po any other convenient arti-

with all care exercised in taking them up good ma
ny of the fbros will be broken After the plants have
established themselves remove the pot and earth up
occasionally, as long as the space between them will
admit oft The best manure employed in the opera
ton is mixture of fine turf and roton horse-dung.
In plants produced from the seeds of the same ball
no two stems will, in all respects, possess the same
qualities yet many of the tubers will have so near
resemblance to each other that, when they are mixed
together, they cannot be distinguished by the eye,
though it may happen that one variety will be four
times as prolific the other or may be much better
in other respects The tubers raised from the seeds
of the same ball, are also prodigiously diversified in
regard to coior being black red white, green, yellow
pink, &C.; to shape, round, knobbed and varied in
all proportions; to size, some of them being no larger
the first year than peas, while others exceed the size
of pullets egg; to e'lncss, some of:hemcompletng
their growth in July, while others will not put forth
their blossoms before October to moductiUencsS, some
yielding more than two hundred, while others will give
only three or four; to spreading W,dcr ground, some
running QUITO great distance, others growing quite
near to the STEM descending deep into the earth
while others will rise to the surface; to quality some
beng tough and watery, some dry and meay, some
very pleasing to the taste, and others will not be pal
atable at all and to stems, some will carry single
stalk, like rod others an immense prosion of them,
some being very luxurious, while others will be ex-
tremey dwarish. In short, what is very remarkable,
no sort of connection will be found to exist between
any two peculiarites. Few plants which may rcsem-
BILE each other above ground, will often be found ex-
tremely dssimar below the surface; while two tubors
that apparently resemble each other, will sometimes
be so different in quality, when tried for eating, that
one will perhaps be among the best and the other
among the worst of the parcel. Hence the benefit that
may be derived by cautious selection from seedlings
is obvious, as well the evil consequences that may
accompany careless procedure in this respect. B.

A Child'S Influence.

In a town not many miles from Boston, there
lived a man who was in the constant habit Of
the use Of intoxicating drinks, and yet he was
so much ashamed of the habit, that he never re-
vealed the fact to his wife and little children
1t did not, however, escape the notice of the
villagers and as it was talked about, many of the
little. folks about the town heard of it. 1t
CHANGED that temperance lecturer went into
the place and formed Cold Water Army, and
the son of the drnker, boy of three years,
joined the Army, and wore the badge. On his
way home some roguish lads accosted him,
John why don't your father Join the Ar
my? He drinks rum"
No he doesntp said John, and he believed
what he said was true.
Yes he does !" replied his companions. "and
you had better ask him to sign the pledge !"
John went home, determined to find out the
truth; and accordingly, when his father came
home to tea, he asked him,
Father, do you drink rum? all the boys sa,
you do"
go away, child !" said the father

Preservation of Apples,

Apples intended to be preserved for winter and
spring use, should remain upon the trees until quite
ripe, which usually takes place at the coming of the
first heavy frosts. They should then be plucked from
the trees by hand in fair day. and packed up imme-
dlaey in casks in alternate layers of dry sand, plaster
chat, saw-dust or bran, and conveyed to a COOL dry
place, as soon as possible The sand orsaw-dust may
be dried IN the heat of summer or may be baked in an
oven at the time required to be used. The peculiar
advantages arising from packed apples in sand are cx-
planned and commented upon as follows, by the late
Mr. Webster author of the "American Dictionary of
the English Language" "lst The sand keeps the
apples from the air. which is essential to their preser
walton; Cd, The sand checks the evaporation or per-
SEPARATION of the apples, thus preserving in them their
full tavor-at the same time any moisture Welded bv
the apples is absorbed by the sand-so that the apples
are kept dry, and all mustness is prevented. Nv pip
ms, in May and june as fresh as when first picked
Even the ends Of the stems look as if lust separated
from the twigs 3d. The sand is equally preseva-
tive from iross, rats, &c. But after the extreme heat
of June takes place, all apples speedily lose their fla
vor, and become nsipid"

TIE PRESIDE.
The Physical Training of Children

Next to giving moral and religious INSTRUCT
ton nothing seems so important for parents as
to attend to the physical training of their chill
drcn
We well rccoect the case Of a little girl whose
physical education had been greatly neglected,
though her mother was eminently faithful in i'm
parting moral and religious instruction The
child was in rather feeble health, indolent and
careless, wonId stand gazing about, having
neither eyes to see, nor ears to hear, By some
means her attention was turned toward the laws
OF life and health. She changed her diet, COM
menced the practice of daily bathing, slept on
hard bed, ventilated her bedroom, had regular
hours for rising and retiring, &c At the same
time her attention was more particularly direct
ed to study, and her mental powers were called
into delightful reqnsiton, The result was she
awoke as if from dream. Her health improv-
ed, her mind expanded, her habits of Incidence
were broken mp, and nov she is star of the
first magnitude in the bright constellation of a
numerous family.
Q, mothers, do come up to this work Do
not spoil your children by neglecting their phys
real training. BE persuaded to remember that
neglect of the body has often brought ruin
on the soul The houSe they lice in is entrusted
10 your care Its texture Is complicated and diff
cult, and requires your attention. Will you not
attend to it? You say, perhaps, you have not
time. But You have all the time there is, and
part Of that time are You not bound to devote to
this purpose! Leave caring for the foIlies of
fashion DO not be troubled about your house
and furniture provided they are clean and COM
Portable. Don't care that your daughters shall
appear as bellies of the town Attend to what
is useful-what will conduce to the health, to
the vigor of their mental and moral powers, to
the good of their souls, and great shall be your
reward. Some of the best men and best women
that have graced this of any other age, have
been brought up in the most plain and simple
manner, and now shine as stars in the intellect.

New Varieties Of Potatoes from Seeds.

New Varieties of Potatoes from Seeds,
In autumn, soon after the appearance of the first
heavy frosts let the potato balls apples be gathered
maceratcd in water the seeds separated from the pulp
and placed in convenient place in the shade, to
dry; after which they may be packed up in an air
tight box bottle, and kept until required for
