SEPARATING THE SEXES IN SCHOOL.
On this point, Mr.. Stowe, cele-
brated Glasgow teacher, uses the
following language:
The youth Of both sexes of our
Scottish pcasantry have boon educat-
cd together, and, as awhole, the Scots
arc the most moral people on the face
Of the globe. Education in England
is given separately, and we have
never heard from practical men that
any benefit has arisen from this a.
rangcment. Some influential indl-.
viduals there mourn over the prejudice
on this point. In Dublin, q larger
number OF girls turn out badly, who
have been educated alone till they
attain the age Of maturity, that of
those who have been otherwise brough
up, the separation of the sexes has
been found TO be injurious. In France,
the separation of the sexes has been
found 10 be positively injurious. IL
| is stated on the best authority that
Of those girls educated in the schools
of converts apart from boys, the great
majority go wrong within month
after being let loose on society, and
meeting the other sex. They cannot
il is said, resist the slightest compli-
ment or fattery. The separation is
intended to keep them strictly moral,
but this unnatural seclusion actually
generates the very principles desired
to be avoided.
We may repeat that it is impossible
tot raise girls as high intellectually,
without boys, as with them; and it is
impossible to raise boys, morally as
high without girls. The girls moral
ly elevate the boys, and the boys in
tellectualIy elevate the girls. But
moro than this, girls themselves are
morally elevated by the presence OF
boys, and boys are intellectually ele-
waited by tho presence Of girls. Girls
brought up with boys are more posi-
lively moral, and boys brought up in
schools with girls are more positively
intellectual by the softening influence
of tho female character.
In the Normal Seminary ut Glas-
Cow the most beneficial effects have
resulted from the moro natural course.
Boys and girls, from the age of two
or three years TO fourteen or fifteen
have been trained in the same class
rooms, galleries and Fairgrounds,
without improperly; and they are
never separated except Mt needle
work.

SUPPER EArINo.-Thc theory ofSir
Charles Landram, that q supper,

DR.. Robacks Theory and Practrce.
Il would seem that poctor Robacks "scandinavian
Remedies" have taken the highest rank among the
standard medicines OF tho dap. His theory Is that In
whatever organ disease may show ITSELF Its seat In
the blood. Hence, hi famous Swedish curaliyes, the
Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. are designed 10 act,
specifically upon the sanguineous nuid. Ono thing
esnnotbe disputed, they produce most saluiaryefeess
even In apparently hopeless individuals who
have suffered dyspepsia, scrofua, erup-
tons OF the skim bronchitis asthma, general prostra-
ton, liver complaint, rheumatism, neuraea, and ma.
ny other distressing complaints report themselves,
over their own signatures, as radically cured by q
course ofthese Remedies. The claims Of Dr. Roback's
advertisements are therefore supported By eompe-

FIToHBURG AND WORCESTER RAILROAD
We have frequently had occasion to notice
the excellent management of the Fitchburg
and Worcester Railroad. 1t has been espe-
cially manifested during the month Just
past, when so many thousands of passengers
were transported over it to the Camp Meet
ing, the FiIemens' and military musters, and
the Cattle Show and Fair at w orcester, Not
an accident of any kind occurred, ample ac-
Communications were provided, and the trains
were run day after day, through the rush,
with perfect regularity.
We should not forget to mention in this
connection that the travelling public general
ly, who go over thisroad on their way to New
York, via Worcester, by the Norwich road
and Sound boats, appear to agree that it is the
easiest and pleasantest of all the routes to that
city. The fare, and fine accommodations, af-
foIded by the large and elegantly furnished
boats of the Norwich line, have drawn a very
large share of the New York travel, and all
agree that the success is we'll deserved. -

STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION The con-
vention of the State Temperance Society which
met in Fitehburg, yesterday, was one of unusual
interest.
The meeting commenced in the afternoon, by
grand children's meeting. The large Town
Hall was literally crammed with people, large
portion of whom, we're boys and girls of Fitch
burg. They commenced their march to the hall
from their several school, and made a very at
tractive display as they paraded the streets.
At about half past two, the large audience
was called to order by the President of the chill
dren meeting, Rev. Mr.. Tilden. A very beau
tiful temperance song was then sung by the chill
dren. An appropriate prayer was then made by
Rev. Mr.. Brooks of Fitchburg. Another song
was then sung by the children
The far famed children's friend, Peter Sinclair,
Esq, of Scotland. was then introduced, and made
one of the best speeches that it has been our lot
to hear. The little boys and girls were kept in
the best of spirits, during the hour and half
that the lecturer was speaking.
After the close of the lecture, another song
by the children closed the meeting. The singing
of about one hundred boys and girls was of the
very best kind and much credit is due their lead
er and teacher, N. O. Prescott, Esq for the faith.
full manner he has discharged his duty to them.
The meeting has given the highest satisfaction,
and the minds of the people here are prepared
fnlly for the rich feasts that are yet to come.
Last evening addresses were made by Peter
Sinclair, Esq. Edwin Thompson, DR.. Haven
and others of like stamp. Many noble tenn
perance men were present, full Of hope for the flu
ture of the good and many more are on the
road, for today.
They were expecting great meeting today,
Many of the best temperance men in our State
will be present. Many interesting topics con-
nected with the temperance cause are to be
brought up for the discussion of the meeting.
A. H. Twombly, ESQ.,, of Boston, is to be the
President of the Convention. 1t will assemble
at o'clock A. NJ. Rev. A. A Miner, of Bos-
ton, is expected to address the Convention in the
afternoon, and many other distinguished speak
