The position we hold is a very respon- slbe one, next to parents we should exert the most influence on the children entrusted to our care; drawing from their young hearts the good- " plants that need but culture, to bloom a blessing on all around them, fostering those kindly feelings towards one another, that alone make life source of pleasure-it is upon us that 1t devoves to crush the chaff and nour- ish the wheat, that when, our work being end ed, we send them forth to battle with the world. they might not only be ornaments there, but useful members in their appropriate sphere; not merely be ladies, but women.
 We part now, my young friends, the me- mory of the pleasant moments passed together in social intercourse or in the pursuit of your daily duties will alas grow faint perhaps with some, before we meet ayain-the season of our mutual labors closes for while, you will leave void not easily filled; your teachers all join with me m aiectlonate regrets; we shall miss you at our morning dcvotions, where your voices were wont to join with ours in praises and thanksgiving, we shall miss your merry laughter and your gentle pleadings, but you will not be absent from our minds, though for a time, we part to follow our different ways; forget, dear children, that we have sometimes appeared harsh and uuyielding, remember only tlS loNe we uedT TOT you, anu believe, that II we have sometimes reproved, 1t has been in kindness, for you have endeared yourselves to our hearts by your gentle obedience and afec- tiOnate bearing Some of us may perchance not meet again here below, let us therefore live for better, more lasting meeting, let us live, not for the moment, but to attain that blessed haven which every traveller on this varied path of life should strive to reach-let the mere routine of your daily occupations be but "as drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of your business" let benevolence, charity, good will towards men be the chief object of your existence if you store your minds with knowl~ edge, and refine your inteects with accom- pishments, let it be the better to appreciate the wonderful works of your Creator and prepare to join in the seraphic choirs around the throne of God, for this were created, for this let us live.

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA-Away among the AL leghanies there is a spring. so small that sin gle OK, in a summers day, could drain it dry. It steals its unobtrusive way among the hills, till it spreads out in the beautiful Ohio.- Thence il stretches away thousand miles, leaving on its banks a hundred villages and many cultivated farm, and bearing on its bosom more than half thousand steamboa Then joining the Mississippi, it stretches away and away, some twelve hundred miles more, till it falls into the great emblem of eternity. It is one of the great tributaries of the ocean, which, obedient only to God, shall roar and roll till the angel, with one foot on the sea and the other on the land, shall lift up his hand to heaven and swear that time shall be no longer. So with moral influence. It is rlll-a rivulet "a river-an ocean, boundless and fathomless as eternity.-Jacksonpor Union.
