Mr.. EDrTOR:-It was my privilege with
others from Lancaster to attend the com
mencement services of Kenyon College

delightful privilege. Knowing that you
feel lively interest in education, send
few lines for your puper.
The degrees were conferred upon ten
young gentlemen. who composed the
Senior or graduating class. Nine ofthese
were professors of religion, having made
such profession during the time Of their
connection with the College. The Ora
Itions of these young gentlemen were Of a
lbiph literary character: and they indica-
lied high state of moral and religious
feeling. They we're delivered in dis.
,incf, animated and graceful manner
The immense congregation assembled
from all parts Of the State, showed theiI
satisfaction and delight, by listening with
+, unbroken and almost brealhless silenca
during the whole time Of their delivery
After an hours intermission, the con
gregation again assembled in the larBc
College Chapel. A learned and beautl
ful address was delivered to the Philo

From the Christian Observer
THE BEST TINE FOR EDUCATION,

Plato said that the best time for education
Is the first three gears Of Hfe. Did he say tru-
ly1 Let US see.
The most important thing pertaining to
man, is character. This is not only more i'm
Portant, but infinitely more important, than
any thing else belonging to US.
And the most Important part of ones char
acter, is his disposition. This is the very es-
sence of his character; for his character is
good or bad, as be has good or bad DISPOSE
ton.
We must, therefore conclude that the time
when the disposition of child can be most
affected by his education, is the best time for
it-and that time is the first three years of his
life.
1t is then that his disposition can be most
easily affected In relation to obedience or dis
obedience. If he is rightly taught to be ODE
dlent then, he will be more affected by that
teaching, than he would be at later period
Or If he is so trained then, as to encourage
dlsobedience, by the end of those three-years
dlsobedienee will become an almost INSOFAR
able part of his disposition. If he is then
educated to be affectionate and kind. or cold
hearted and cruel, his disposition will be more
affected thereby, than it would be by the same
education relating TO those qualities at later
period.
L conclude, therefore, that Plato said right
ly, when he said that the most important time
for the education of a child, is the first three
years of his life.
Mothers, think of it,-fathers, do not for
get 1t. Early childhood is the time for YOU
to do the most important work you can ever
do for your children. 1t is then that YOU can
do most for their character.
See that you Improve this best time for the
education of yogr children; or, if with YOU
that time is past, Improve the next best.

A WORD TO APPRENTICES.

Stick to your trade, boys, and learn how to
work. IT you wish to be truly independents
There is no more pitiable sight than half
learned mechanic applying for work. He is
always at the foot of the hill, and labor as he
may, unless he has become perfect in his
trade before he attains the wears of his ma
jorlty, he never will be perfect, and can cal
culate on poverty as his portion with good
deal of safety.
We have IN our minds eye. lad of Is,
who few months ago was at work in this
office at fair wages; but his parents encour-
aged him in the idea that he was man, and
should have mans pay.
He left Us with feeling that he could get
rich faster in Boston, and since that we have
learned fhis having been gagged for short
time IN three different Offices in three several
cities.
OF course, with his slight knowledge of
business, he could not have permanent en-
ployment, and SO he has taken up a new trade.
He joined company of corps dramatique.
and the last notice we had of his whereabouts
was from handful announcing his appear
ance before the citizens of Worcester for
benefit. In the character of the Irish Tiger
Parents, if you wish well to Your children,
urge them TO learn their trades perfectly.
A neglect of this counsel makes Irish Ii
gers and Yankee mutton heads of thousands
of bright boys every year.-thrts. Citizen.
