the parent cheated out of his money! Any man,
capable of teaching the languages, knows that

then what is the object? What can it be, if it be
not to give false character to the school, and get

CANADIAN MovEMENrs.-From the Ca
madam exchanges we perceive that the peo.
pie of the British provinces are somewhat
in an excited condition in relation to the
propriety of introducing change in the
political construction of the government
in SO far as to consolidate political union
between Ave or six Of the province of Brit.
ish North America-either federal or leg
islative. The idea of one parliament, to
legislate for all the provinces, is hotly op-
posed, on the ground that it would require
too lengthy sessions. and that local affairs
could not meet with such attention as
would be required, or received from local
or provincial legislatures. A federal league
of delegates from different provinces, fol
the creation of general laws, has been
somewhat favored by the English portion
of the Canadians, but resisted by large
portion of those of French extrac-
tion, because the league would conspire to
destroy the national characteristics Of the
French. l1a

How TO WEAR SPEcrACLEs.-The fol-
lowing is copied from Treaties on the
Eye" by Mr.. West an eminent optician:
"In the proper use Of spectacles there is
no circumstance of more importance than
their position on the head. They should
be worn so that the glasses may come as
close to the eye as possible, without touch
ing the eye-lashes. They should also be
placed so that the glasses may be paral-
lei to the paper when the head is in an
easy position. To accomplish this, let the
sides of the spectacles bear on the head
about midway between the top of it and
the ear; the eyes will then look directly
through the glasses to the paper, and
make the most advantageous use of them,
instead Of looking obhquely through them
to the paper, as spectacles are usually
worn, with the bows in contact with the
ear, in which position they produce dis
torted image ON the retina. The sides of
the spectacles should also be placed at an
equal height upon the head. "
