If you would learn the value Of dol
lar, says an exchange, go and labor two
days in the burning sun, as a bod car
rier. This is an excellent idea; and if
many Of our young gentlemen had TO
carr all their dollars in that way, how
much less dissipation, and folly, and
crime, would we witness every day.
So Of our fashionable young ladies-if
they, like some of the poor seamstress-
es of our large cities, had to earn their
dollars by making shirts at ten cents
a piece, how much less foolish fnery
would we see about them, and how
much more truthful notions would they
have of their duties Of life, and their
obligations to the rest Of the world.

Education.

Accustom a child as soon as it can
speak, to narrate his little experiences,
his chapter Of accidents, his fears, his
hopes; to communicate what he has
noticed in the world without, and what
he feels struggling in the world within.
Anxious to have something to narrate,
he will be induced to give attention to
objects around him, and what is passing
in the sphere Of his instruction, and to
observe and note events will become
one Of his first pleasures; and this is
