Rules fer Home Education.

The following rules we commend to all our
patrons and friends, for their excellence,
brevity, and practical utility. They are wor-
thy of being printed in letters of gold, and
being placed 10 conspicuous place in every
household. 1t is .lamentable to contemplate
the mischief, misery and ruin which are the
legitimate fruits of those deficiencies which
are pointed out in the rules to which we have
reference. Let every parent read, ponder,
and inwardly digest:
l. From your children's earliest infancy,
inculcate the necessity of instant obedience.
2. Unite frmness with gentleness Let
your children always understand that you
mean what you say.
3. Never promise them anything unless
you are quite sure you can give them what
you say.
5. If you tell child to do something, show
him how to do it, and see that it is DONE
5. Always punish your children for will
fully disobeying you, but never punish them
in anger.
6. Never let them perceive that they vez
you or make you lose your self-command.
I. If they give way to petulance Or i'll
temper, wait till they are calm, and then gen
tly reason with them on the improperly o
their conduct.
8. Remember that a little present punish
ment, when the occasion arises, is much NOR
etfectual than the threatening of create
punishment should the fault be renewed.
9. Never give your children anything Re
cause they cry for it.
10. Onno account allow them to do a
one time what you have forbidden, under tA
same circumstances, at another
II. Teach them that the only sure and cas-.
way to appear good, is to be good.
II. Accustom them to make their littl
recitals with perfect truth.
ID. Never allow tale-bearing.
IA. Teach them self-denial, not selfindul
gence, of an angry and resentful spirit.
If these rules were reduced to practice
daily practically parents and guardian;
how much misery would be prevented, no,
many in danger of ruin would be saved, hoy
largely would the happiness of a thousan
domestic circles be augmented 1t is Is
mcntable to see how extensive is parentt
neglect, and to witness the bad and dreadft
consequences in the ruin of thousands.

nLadias" in the Bible.

Col. Benton says there are no ladies in
the Bible, but the Colonel is mistaken. In a
recent letter to the National Intellgencer,
correcting the report of his New England
speech in New York city, he makes the fol-
lowing blunder in setting himself right:
Il did not say ladies. That word is not
in the Bible, nor is it in any Greek or Roman
book ; and, if I must give food for para
graph on 'eyotism' in some newspaper in
which the editor may not yet have acquired
the right to print the pronoun ego before any
act Of his own, I will add that phrase is not
in the Thirty Years View, in any part of the
authors own writing"
Whereupon the New York Observer quotes
the following passages from the Bible, show
ing the venerable Senator that the word lady
is used four times, and ladies twice.
Isaiah Xvii: 5: sit thou silent, and get
thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chal-
DEANS for thou shalt no more be called, The
lady of Kingdoms"
Isaiah Xvii: 4 And thou saidst shall
be lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay
these things to thy heart, neither didst re-
member the end of it."
2. John l.. "Thc elder unto the elect
lady and her children, whom [ love in truth
and not only, but also all they that have
knewn the truth"
2. John l.: 5 "And now | bescech thee
lady, not as though | wrotea new command.
ment unto thee, but that which we had from
the beginning, that we love one another"
Judges ": 20: " Her wise ladies answered
her, yea, she returned answer to herself"
Esther l.; 10: " Liheaoise shall the ladies
of Persia and Media say this day unto al
the kings princes, which have heard of thu
deed of the queen"

A Beautiful Inciden1s :.

A correspondent Of the Cambridge Chron-
iclc, writing from Nantucket, gives the follow
ing beautiful example of disinterested benev-
Olence:
Many years ago, a husband and father
started from his home to commence his morn
ing work in a ropewalk upon our island
Breakfast time came, and as was her wont,
his faithful wife left her home to convey her
husbands breakfast to him. The snow had
been falling for some time, but she needed it
not, and started to cross some open lots in
the outskirts Of our town. The wind blew
violently, and the binding snow disturbed her
50 that she lost her path, and when found,
some time after, she was leaning against q
rail fence Smothered, frozen, dead. The IA
Their died also, | think, ere long, and their
two orphan children were taken to the aims
house. Years passed, and the children grew
to womanhood, and in turn were wives and
mothers. The husband of one Of them was
drowned few years ago near our island,
leaving several young children. An aged
man who had befriended his wife in early
years, then took her to his home, and there
she toiled hard to support her children. In
some way the old mans property was used,
until he had nothing left but his humble
dwelling. Then the widow toiled to support
him, tall he saw that she was wasting away
under her arduous labor, and nobly, gener.
ously, sent for lawyer, and gave her his
cottage, which he had toiled hard to obtain
and in which he had hoped to spend the re.
mainder of his days, and w=nt himself ia
dwell in our almshouse. He shares pauper's
home to-day but his grey hairs are crown
of glory to him. The widow would have
preferred to struggle ON for her benefactor
but he knew that his lifes sands were almost
run, and it mattered little where he should be
In the hour of death. Ono day this winter a
lady gave the children of this poor widow
some food for their Woodworking mother, apd
an apple each for themselves. When sb,
next saw them, she asked how they liked The
apples, and the reply was, I'VE did not cal
them ourselves, but carried them to our grand
father at the poor-house.'

The B1BLE.-There are four grand argu-
ments for the truth of the Bible. The first
is the miracles on record; the second, the
prophecies; the third, the goodness of the
doctrine; the fourth, the moral character Of
the pcnmen. The miracles flow from Divine
power; the prophecies, from Divine under
standing; the excellence Of the doctrine, from
Divine goodness; the moral character of the
penmen, from Divine purity. Thus, Christi
anity is built upon those four immovable pill
lars, the power, the understanding the good
ness, the purity of God. The Bible must be
one of these things; either an invention of
good men, or good angels; of bad men, or
bad angels; or revelation from God But
it could not be the invention of good men, or
angels, for they neither would nor conld make
a book telling lies, at the same time saying,
{" Thus saith the Lord" when they knew it
all to be their own invention. 1t could not
be the invention of wicked men or devils, for
they would not make book which commands
all duty, which forbids all SIM and which con-
dennis their souls to all eternity. The con-
clusion is irresstble-the Bible must be CIV
en- by Divine inspiration.

How TO BE LovED.-The late Hon. Will
liam Writ wrote to his daughter: " want
to tell you secret. The way to make your
self pleasing to others, is to show that you
care for them. The whole world is like the
miller of Mansfield, who cared for nobody
no, not he, because nobody cared for him.
And the whole world will serve you so, if
you give them the same cause. Let all per-
sons, therefore, see that you do care for thein,
by showing them what Sterne so happily
calls the small, sweet-courteses in which
there is no parade; whose voice is too
still to tease and which manifest themselves
by tender and ahectionate looks, and little
kind acts of attention, giving others the pref.
erence in every little enjoyment at the table,
in the field, walking, sitting, or standing"

THE MOTHERS INFLuEvcE.-The solid rock
which turns the edge of the chisel, bears for
ever the impress of the leaf and the acorn,
received long, long since, ere it had become
hardened by time and the elements. If we
trace back to its fountain the mighty torrent
which fertilizes the land with its copious
or sweeps over it with devastating food,
we shall find it dripping in crystals drops
from some messy creviee among the distant
hills; SO too the gentle feelings and affections
that enrich and adorn the heart, and the
mighty passions that sweep away all the bar
riers of the soul, and dessolate society, may
have sprung mp in the infant bosom, in the
sheltered retirement of home. az should
have been an atheist" said John Randolph
" if it had not been for one recollection, and
that was the memory of the time when my
departed mother used to take my little hands
in hers, and cause me on my kneess to say :
Our Father who art in heaven ?"

DETACHED THoUGHTs.-Whoso despiseth
little thlegs will never attain great things
Many a man has rashness enough to do
wrong, who has not courage enough to confess
it.
To live to ourselves, to take pleasure in the
misfortunes of others, to have no heart for
devotion when in prosperity, and to regard
our own goodness as extraordinary, are four
unmistakable signs of bad heart.
No man on death-bed, ever regretted any
act of self-denial or benevolence done by him
self.
The best method Of disposing of half the
SANDERS of the age, is to pay them no atten.
ton. The other half may be lived down.

Waiting by the River.

That grand old dreamer, Bunyan, brings
Christina and her pilgrim company into the
Land of Beulah, where they were rested in
the orhards and vineyards, where the bells
did ring and the trumpets sound 50 melodi-
ousy that they could not sleep, and yet they
were refreshed as though they did and where
no sense took in what was offensive, and
where their bodies were amounted and they
prepared to 60 oyer the river, for here the
shining ones came to greet and carry for
ward the pilgrims to the Celestial City.
The trials Of their pilgrimage are past, and
they now but wait all their appointed time,
till their change come, engaged only in those
delightful employments which make their
lives Joyous; and the angels come and carry
them one by one over the river, which was
" in a manner dry for some, while it over
flowed its banks for Others Here they
will wait by the river, tasting of its waters,
(which to some tasted a little bitterish to
the palate, but moved sweeter when it was
down."
Waiting in the land of Beulah by the riE-
err What delightful thought that we are
approaching that and--that we may be pear
it now. Ready to halt Dependency, fee
Bile mind, these may all come here having no
more to fear and in patience passeth their
souls till the messengers say have broken
the golden bowl, and loosed the silver cord"
Not that the way by which they came is so
blocked up that they may not return but
then there is no hindrance to thier tarrylng
in this pleasant land, and there are none who
can drag OR drive them out, if they will but
stay.
Waiting by the river! How pleasant to
those who feel that the heat and burden Of
their day of toll is past, and who now in the
calm evening of well spent life, wait I'M
til they are called up to the Celestial City.
Here may they sit and triumph, while MEM
DRY traverses the path they have passed over

that way. But through all these, the Lord

Waiting by the river; Here wait the

EDUCATE THE WHOLE MAN.-Everybody
should have his head, heart and hand educa-
ted. BY the proper education of his hand,
he will be enabled to supply his wants. to add
to his comfort and to assist those around him.
The highest object is of great value-and
everything that binders US is comparative
ly worthless. When wisdom reigns in the
head, and love in the heart, the man is ever
ready to do good.--order and peace reign
around him, and sin and sorrow are almost
unknown.

The Queen of May.

With flights Of singing-birds went by
The rosy hours of girlhood's day,
When, in my native bowers, ~
OF simple buds and flowers,
They wovc wreath to crown the Queen of May.
Like airy sprites the lasses came,
Springs offerings at my feet to lay;
The crystal from the fountain,
The green Dough from the mountain,
They brought to cheer and shade the Queen Of May
So
Around the May pole on the green,
In fairy rings they whirl'd away
All merrlmeut and pleasure,
To music's dialect measure,
They bounded by the merry Queen OF May.
Though years have flown, and time has strown
My raven locks with flakes Of gray,
Fond memory brings the hours
OF buds and blossom showers,
When was crown'd the happy Queen Of May

The Husbands Song.

Rainy and rough sets the day.
There's heart beating for somebody;
! must be up and away
Somebody sianxious for somebody.
Thrice hath she been to the gate
Thrice hath she listened for somebody;
Midst the night, stormy and late,
Somebody's waiting for somebody.
There'll be a comforting fire
There'll be a welcome for somebody;
One, in her neatest attire,
Will look to the table for somebody.
Though the stars fed from the west,
There is a star yet for somebody,
Lighting the home he loves best
Warming the bosom of somebody.
There'll be coat DER the chair,
There will be slippers for somebody;
There'll be wife's tender care
loves fond enforcement for somebody.
There'll be the little one's charms
Soon twill be Weakened for somebody;
When have both in my arms,
Oh but how blest will be somebody /!
