conscience, the friendship and attachment of
a mans family and dependents seems TO me
one Of the most comfortable circumstances of

forms that sort Of bosom comfort or disquiet
that sticks close to him at all times and sea-
sons, and which. though he may now and

or the hurry Of active life, will resume its
place in his thoughts, and his permanent eff

When clouds but seldom intervene

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

To educate man properly, is to unfold
his faculties so as to give him the free and
full use of bis powers. II is first to train
the intellect, to give him love Of truth, and
to instruct him in the process by which it
may be acquired. tits to train him to sound
ness of judgement, to teach him to weigh ev-
idence, and to guard against the common
sources of error, 1t is to give him thirst
for knowledge which viii keep his faculties in
action through life. It is to aid him in the
study of the onward world. to initiate him
into tho physical sciences, so that he will
understand the principles OF his trade or
business, and viii be able to comprehend the
phenomena which are continually passing his
vision.

To Dcvid q. Rees, Esg--Sir: Ihave been using
the Holden Patent Dress in my Burrs for two
months, and have given it fair trial. / find that
IT much improves my grinding With the same
amount Of power, my average grinding with full
head of water has been fifty bbis Of -four in twen-
ty-four hours on one pair of burrs with the new
dress, and by pushing it we have made sixty bbls
in "a hours. The stuff is as we'll cleaned and as
light as | ever made with the old dress the yield
is equal and the quality Of the -four is as good If
not better than before this dress was put in
Before put in the dress my average grinding
with full head Of water was about 80 bhls Of -four
in "a hours. with the same pair Of burrs feet and
inches. For chopping this dress has exceeded
my expectations had no idea that so much corn
could be ground on pair of burrs feet inches
With full head Of water am regularly grinding
fifty bushels OF corn per hour for my dis tillery
The impression that the new dress sweats very
much is erroneous for in grinding so bbls. of -four
with the new dress there is not so much sweat pro-
duced with the old dress in grinding 80 bbls

lone pair of Wheat Burrs and one pair of Noun
tain Chopping Stones; and having given it q fair
trial, find that with the same power with the new
dress, can grind very nearly double the quantity
OF wheat in the same time as with the old dress
make my stuff lighter--less midlings. and conse
quenty better yield. The quality of the -four
fully equal to that made on the old dress On a
trial on high grade made as good -four as was
ever able to do on the old dress
think -four of the same appearance made on the
new dress rises better and is better than that made
on the old dress There is no more steam produ-
ced than by the old dress indeed the -four is cooler
1t will qteadrnple the work with the same power
My opinion is that ifthis dress has fair trial
it will recommend itself to any one who will Try it.
