To Oua,REA DERs.-How much we like to see among
the old and young portion of Our community, those
persons who capable of couversng i'll two three
different languages how much superior they are to
those who speak but their own how much more
complisAed they are in comparison with those self
styled accomplished persons whose only education
consists in knowing how to sing, play or dance. Our
Young men should think of something more useful,
more solid and more durable. We will advise them
to spend portion of their evenings at Prof Brettes
establishment, No. IS ST. Charles street. They will
make good use OF their time and money, and
above ALL will be pleasantly introduced to the most
useful and universal language on earth language
which, sometime or another, we are sure to have a
use for.

Sc0Iding Mothers.
BY MRS. y. \. CROzIER.

heart, seed which will spring up ami

sorrow Little does she imagine that
the lineaments of her own dark coun-

pretty chiid's face, which she has thus
summarily banished. She thinks not
that she is painting plotted picture for
that boys memory; a picture in which
the mother will appear only as cruel
unloving monster. .
Reader, DO you turn away, feeling that
it is impossible that woman should thus
degenerate herself, that she should thus
ignore her maternal nature? Alas. that
it should be so true.
1t has been my misfortune more than
once, to occupy the same dwelling with
a Seeding woman, and stay with the wise
man. 1t is better to dwell in the wilder
ness than with contentious and angry
woman. II ever my souls depths We're

raging storm ofwoman passions, burst

who can, day after day, year after year,
pour out, without remorse. torrent of
harsh words upon the ears of those she
really loves, wounded and crushing the
hearts Of the sensitive, till hatred takes

growth of hope and love, as the late

Mother, the echoes of your voice may

your children; shall they be soft, sweet
echoes, that shall seem like angel music
to them. winning them to the love OF
God and earth; or shall they be rough,

THE SHADOWS of CHILDHOOD .--God

ing seems to weigh down their buoyant
spirits; long misfortune may fallto their
lot, but the shadows it casts upon their
life path are fecting as the clouds that
come and goin an April sky. Their fu-.

others, but to their fearless gaze it looms
up brilliant and beautiful as the walls
of fairy palace. There is no, tear
which the mothers gentle hand cannot
heal, no anguish which the sweet MUIR
muring of her soft, low voice cannot
soothe. The warm, generous impulses
of their nature have not been fettered
and cramped by the cold fsrmalities of
the world; they have not yet learned to
vail hollow heart with false smiles, or
hide the basets purposes beneath hon

They stimulate a taste for reading,

much of which would not reach a por-

They are of essential service in pub

Marriage.

Nature never did betray the soul that
loved her; and nature tells men and Wo-
men to marry. just as the young man
is entering upon life-just as he comes
to independence and mans estate-just
as the crisis of his being is to be solved,
and it is to be seen whether he decide
with the good, and the great, and the
true, or whether he sink and be lost for
ever-matrimony gives him ballast and
arightimpulse. War with nature and she
takes sure revenge. Tell a young man
not to have an attachment that is virtu-
Gus, and he will have one that is vicious
Virtuous love, the honest love of man
for woman he is about to marry, gives
him an anchor for his heart. something
pure and beautiful for which to labor
and live. And the woman, what pur-
pie light it sreds upon her path; it makes
life no day dream, no idle hour, no paint
ed shadow, no passing show, but some
thing real earnest worthy Of heart and
head. But most of us are towards, and
dare not think so; we lack grace; we are
of little faith; our inward eye is dim and
dark. The modern young lady must
marry in style; the modern young gen.
tleman marries fortune. But in the
meanwhile the girl grows into an old
maid, and the youth takes chambers
ogles ut the nursery maids, and becomes
a man about town, a man whom it is
dangerous to ask into your house, for
his business is intrigue. The world
might have had happy couple; instead
