A SHORT SERMON FOR You've Man
Trxr:-O,rc no man anything Keep out
of debt. Avoid il as you would war, pes
thence, and famine. Shun it as you would
the devil. Hate it with perfect hatred
Abbor il with an entire and absolute abhor
renee. Dig potatoes, break stones, peddIe
in tinwaro, do anything that is honest anc
useful, rather than run in debt. As yot
value comfort, quiet, independence, keel
out of debt. As you value good digestion
a healthy appetite, placid temper, o
smooth pillow, pleasant dreams, and happy
wakngs, keep out of debt. Debt is The
hardest OF all taskmasters, the most crue
Of all oppressors. 1t is mill stone about
the neck. II is an incubus on the heart
II spreads cloud over the whole tirmamen
Of mans being. II eclipses the sun, it blot,
out the stars, it dims and defaces the beau
lilul blue sky. 1t breaks up the harmony
of nature. and turns to dissonance all the
voices of its melody. 1t turrows the fore
head with premature wrinkles, it plucks the
eve of its light, it drags all nobeness and
kindness out Of the port and bearing of j
man. 1t takes the soul out OF his laugh
and all stateIiness and freedom from his
walk. Come not under its accursed domin
ion. Pass by it as you would pass by lep
er, or one smiiten by the plague. Toucl
i, not. Taste not of its fruit, for it shal
turn to bitterness and ashes on your lips
Finally, say to eac ch and to al, but especial

At noon he made another effort, but in
vain. As evening drew on, he whisper
ed to Mr.. Lear. 81 am going: my breath
cannot last lobg!" After few direc-
tions, he asked if Mr.. Lear rememb bered
any thing he should do. Mr.. Lear hoped
he was not SO near his end; but the dying
hero smiled family and said he was; this
was the debt all must pay. He was in
great pain. But he showed himself CRATE
full 10 Mr.. Lear for his efforts 10 relieve
him by changing his position in the bed.
To DR.. Craik. he said: Doctor. | die
hard; but am not afraid 10 go: | knew
from the first this attack would be fatal.
My breath canno: last long," A little
after. the three physicians raised him ia
the bed, when he said II feel myself CO.
ing. Take no more trouble about me;
let me 60 quietly!" AT s o'clock they
applied blisters and cataplasms to his feet
and legs. At ten he said, family, 81 am
going. Have me decently buried; and do
not let my body be put in the vault less
than three days after am dead. Do you
understand me? Wellr' He spoke In a
low. husky voice. and almost inarticu-
lately. His breathing seemed 10 become
easier before he died. He withdrew his
hand from Mr. Lear. and felt his own
pulse, as Haller. the Philosopher. and
Harvey did in their last moments. Soon
his face changed, his hand sunk from the
wrist. and he ceased TO breathe without
struggle. Mrs. Washington was sitting
at the foot of the bed, and she now asked
DR.. Craik. who had his hands on the Gen.
erals eyes. if he was gone. Being an
swered in the affirmative, she said
'.'Tis well-all is over! / shall soon
follow him. have no more trials to
pass through" She survived him only
three years.

Live Cattle Weighed by Measure.

The only instrument necessary is a
tape measure, with feet and inch marks
upon it. The girth is the circumference
of the animal just behind the shoulder
blades. The superficial feet are obtained
by multiplying the girth and length
the following table contains the rule to
ascertain the weight of the animal:
II less than one #. in girth, multiply
superficial #. by s.
If less than 3 and more than l superb
cial ft. by IL.
If less than and more than superb
cial ft.by IL.
If less than and more than 5, super
fetal It. by 23.
Ii less than 8 and more than z, super.
fetal #. by 33.
If less than Ii and more than 8 super
fetal ft. by AZ.
Example. the girth of a bull
lock to be 6 #. 3 in; length #. 6 in
The superficial area will then be 81. in
accordance with the preceding table gives
thu weight 1872 lbs.
Exar ple.-Suppose pig to measure
in girth It. and length #. 9 in. There
would be 3 l2 superficial it,, which
multiplied by IL. gives 38a lbs. as the
weight of the animal when dressed. In
this way, the weight of the four quarters
can be substantially ascertained during
life.--Boston Trapeler.

ucational work: is it possible to effect any
saving in it? Any real improvement In
methods, will, we think. be the result of
the discussion of principles. Whether
any method will be discovered that MAJ
be pre- Ali1nealled the method. as Logic
is the art q o7rs6soning and not merely an
art, it is possible to say. we may hope
that such will be the case. We have
been endeavoring to ascertain the re-
spective provinces of the eye and the ear
in reading. not in learning to read-with
the hope shat. knowing the organ en-
ployed in The practice Of the art, we might
hence infer what organ needs special at
tention in the acquisition of the art.
The eye we have seen to be the inlet
of knowledge in reading. whether silent
or audible. The ear (of the reader) has
nothing to do either in receiving or i'm
parting the knowledge. The eye. then.
would seem to be the organ to be culti
vated in learning to read. We might
almost say that the ear has no part to
perform while the child is learning to
read, any more than in reading. after it
has learned. But to guard against mis-
apprehension, let it be remarked that the
process Of learnieg to read may be divi-
ded into two parts; one, the learning of
the words, and the other, enunciation Of
will generally be learned in the first in
stance, from the lips of the instructor, no
matter what theory that instructor may
have adopted. Instead of telling the
child the name of the word, the teacher
might indeed point to it, if it was vsi-
BILE object near at hand. But ordinarily,
when a new word occurs, its name is Civ
Ell by the teacher, and, SO far the ear of
the pupil is brought into action. The
name having been once given. however,
the pupil should so associate that name
with the word as visible thing, that the
latter should instantly suggest the form
er. And therefore it is, that we say the
eye is the organ to be trained in learning
to read. If, after the name OF word
has been thus given to the child. he is
practiced upon it at the time, and at
number of subsequent exercises, he will
need generally 10 have it told him but
once. There is here no culture Of the ear
in detecting differences Of sound. but
there is a culture of the eye in detecting
differences of appearance. Every exer-
else in elementary reading is mainly
trial Of the eye of the child as to its read
mess in Distinguishing words. And one
great secret of success in this branch OF
instruction, is 10 direct the attention of
the child to new word SO frequently,
and in such various cambina tions, that it
shall be impossible for him to forget it.
We propose next to say something of
learning and spelling words as preparato-
ry to reading. More next week.
