no language can be exaggerated which de-
%rioes the affection of tender parents for an
Yhiy child. 1t has all the devotion that the
,oVer vows, all the unsefshness in which the
husband fails. Words that would be simply
ABSURD If applied to any other human affec.
uoh, speak but the truth of this. Grace was
sne only child Of just such parents; her COM

ives She was warm-hearted little girl. very
aona OF her father, her mother, her playmates,
a"u Oh every one else who showed her kind.
But she had been much INDUCED she

onlei Joy she made, and used it whenever oc-
G. ,,oh required. In short, she was quite a
n''ie domestic tyrant. Such children are not
uncommon; We have all seen such, have per-
maps been such ourselves.
10 the love which Edward Lindley had al
ways felt for his child, was now added pride
10 her ability. Caroline's course was yery little
altered by the discovery of the new talent
Enough she, too, thought it very pleasant
'nlng Her care was, as heretofore. that Grace
should should be neatly and prettiy dressed that she

Lindley something did turn up, as he so hope
fully anticipated. Business improved, his in
come was largely augmented then. his party
coming into power, he was appointed to lu-
crative ofhce-after that he was elected to Con-
gress. he removed to larger and handsomer
house, and furnished 1t in a style quite supc-
rior to anything in which he had before in
dulged; Calista was retained in the establish.
ment, with one or two subordinates under her
control. The Hon Edward Lindley, the tai
ented member for Kings could well afford to
smile at the recollection of the time when he
seriously considered his wife's proposition of
doing the family work, in order to save the
money for Grace's school-billsl
In all their prosperity, and the honor and
distinction consequent upon it nothing rejoiced
the fond parents as did their chld's success.
Fanny Allward was warmly attached to her,
and wrote home glowing accounts of her schol-
arship and talents-accounts regularly trans
mitted to the Lindleys, as we'll as circulated
throughout the village. Grace's compositions "
were generally in poetry, and were often real,
Ia fne one of them, read at an annual exam
inAtion attracted the notice of the editor of the
leading literary journal Of the country who
published it, with high encomiums on the abi
ity of the youthful author A word Of praise
from one so distinguished was enough the
praise of the press at large followed, of course
The poem was everywhere copied, and every
where accompanied by admiring comments
The name of Beatrice" became almost az
widely known as that of Mr. - himself and
Grace was thus, by single effort, raised to q
place among the gifted of her native land
So, in a whirl of excitement triumph, and
admiration, her school-days ended, and she
came back to her expecting parents,

and eager for action, while the principal virtue
of that muscle is to keep stM l'-barely per-
hitting the active young being possessing 1t to
look al bOok-not for knowledge, but the
signs Of knowledge, and those signs not learnt,
from the absence Of the ideas connected with
them.
Thanks be to public sentiment, to common
sense, and TO humanity that such inrOads are
already made upon this anti-knowing anti
producing system, as to insure an entire and
radical change, by making it both knowing
and producing Black boards have very ex-
tensiyely taken the place Of books, changing
the " sitting on-a bench system into muscular
producing exercises, alike to the relief the en-
tertainment, and the instruction Of the pupil.
Drawing, another producing exercise, in many
schools is not only permitted but provided for
every pupil the first day he enters school. Con-
nected with drawing multiplied objects of ma
ture and art, collections of natural history
come in very opportuncly. In some places,
every school and every family is provided by
Nthe hands of their members with specimens of
nature and art. To an extent which few are
aware OF, pupils can prepare their own instru-
monts of instruction, gratifying in the highest
degree the desire both of knowing and produ-
cing-knowing by producing.
The desire of reciprocating early and
strongly maniiestng itself as deeply planted
in the human soul, is both prevented and
crushed by school systems An anti-producing
system must almost, of course be non -recipro-
eating, as it furnishes nothing to reciprocate in
This principle of exclusiveness, hitherto a
prominent feature in schools, with that of anti
producing is rapidly yielding to the more
polite and more noble principle of reciprocal
ton. Indeed, enlightened, generous reciprocal
ton, exhibited in WORLDS FAIR" lFAIRs -
all over the world, and in great multtudes of
nameless forms, is perhaps the strongest GER
tanly the most dignifed and elevated feature
Of the present age. No fairs which have been
or can be instituted are so richly fraught with
pleasure, knowledge production, or reciprocal
ton, as SCHOLARS FAIRS They are now in
extensive operation and at no distant day
must form a prominent part and probably the
SOUL, of school systems. These, when connect
ed through the entire country, all concentra
ting at our national metropolis, will enable
each of the hundred thousand American schools

Had often shed its melody with tears;

The youngest also had generous share
Of the estate, not yet to manhood come
But, like greedy lion in ais lair

And of the household now assumed the head.
