How TO TEACH THE ALPuABEr.-At recent
school meeting in Boston, Professor Emerson
(not Ralph Waldo Brahma) has something to
say of that which he had seen of teaching in
Europe during his travels:
He spoke of what he saw in Dresden. He
spoke of teaching the alphabet-of its usually
being regarded as a drudgery, which he called
q sad mistake He cited an example of forty
boys, seven years old, conlingto learn their al
phabet- It was taught by man competent for
q College President He commenced by draw
ing fish on the blackboard, and inunirlng of
the boys, "What is that ?" One answer was
"a fsh;" another, ut is the picture of fish n
and another, ut is the drawing ola fish,
Right" said the teacher to the last. They
were then required to make a nice sentence
about the fish. This being done, he then placed
before them the letters that make the word
They we're then required to put the letters to-
gether so as to spell the word. This was done:
also the making ofthe letters on their States
forming the word. They were next required to
draw the picture of the fish. This was the
method of teaching the alphabet, by.no novice,
but by q most learned German scholar This
method of thoroughness was everywhere prac-
uced in teaching little at time and con.
slant repetition. 1.-THE effect Of this method"
said he, was surprising" How unlike is this
method to that pursued in our primary schools
The teachers use no books in teaching, Com
sequently their minds were wholly on the mat
ter of teaching the children. When their
interest tired, their attention was directed to a
new subject and thus the happiest results are
produced.

Give him a Trade.

If education is the great buckler and
shield OF human liberty, we'll developed in
dustrv is equally the buckier and shield OF
individual independence. As an unfailing
resource through life, give your son, equal
with good education. good honest trade.
Better any trade than none; there is ample
field for the adoption of every inclination in
this respect. Learned professions and spec
u:a,ive employments may fail man, but an
honest hand-craft trade seldom or neyer-if
it's possessor choose to exercise it. Let him
feel, too, that honest labor crafts are honor
able and noble. The men of trades-the
real creators of whatever is most essential
to the necessities and welfare OF mankind
cannot be dispensed with; they above all
others, in whatever repute they may be
held by their fastidious fellows, must work
at the oar of human progress. or all is lost.
But few brown.handed workers think OF
this, or appreciate the real position or pow
er they compass.
Give your son trade, no matter what
fortune he may have or may seem likely to
inherit. Give him trade and an education,
at any rate trade. With this he can al.
ways battle with temporal want, can always
be independent.

The following was the sage reply:
"Sir, see one man get sick. The doc
tor comes, gives him medicine, the next
day he is better; he gives him another one,
it does him good; he keeps on till he gets
about his business. Another man gets sick
like the fist one. The doctor comes to see
him; he gives him the same sort of medi-
cine, it does him no good; he gets worse;-
give him more, but he gets worse ali the
time till he dies. Now. the mans time to
die had come, and all the doctors in the

Emancipation of the Sc is in Russia

Notwithstanding assertions to the contra
ry, it is manifest that there is very l:tlle op-
position on the part of the nobility of Rus.
sia to the plans of the Emperor and his
Council Of Stste for the emancipation of the
serfs. This is remarkable, not only because
we generally look for opposition to any such
radical reforms from the privileged classes,
but because this Russian scheme is probably
the most liberal system Of emancipation ev-
er devised in any nation on large scale
1t gives the serfs many important privileges
particularly an allotment Of land upon which
they may obtain their subsistence. There
is 40 doubt that such measure can be
much better carried out in cold country,
like Russia, than it could be in warmer-.at-
itudes. In Russia the erancipated person
must work, and work diligently, too, or he
will starve. He cannot lie out nights un-
der the qusnes, and feed by day on the spon-
taneous products o. the soil.
