Some persons seem still to entertain the
notion that young girls need no training ex.

forms are OF less consequence than their
dresses; and that development of physi-

restricting their physical education and lin.

STUDIES AND BooKs.-Studies serve for
delight. for ornament and for ability
Their chief use for delight is in privateness
and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse:
and for ability, is in the judgement and
disposition of business. for expert men can

by one but the general counsel, and the
plots and marsbalng of affairs, come best
from those that are learned. To spend too

the edge of the board. One Of the men had
his hand on the latch. The boy hero ut
tered single word of heartfelt prayer, and
then lie pulled the trigger. The villain
whose hand was on the latch, uttered one
sharp, quick cry, and then fell upon the
floor. The bullet had passed through his

For an instant the two remaining villains
were confounded, but they quickly compre.
hended the nature and position of their
enemy, and they sprang for the ladder.
They did not reach it, however, for at that
instant the outer door was flung open, and
the hounds-four in number-sprang into

animals leapcd upon the villains, and they

spot where the hounds had the two men on
the floor The villains had both lost their
knives and the dogs had so wounded them,
that they were incapable of resistance.
With much difficulty, the animals were
called oil, and then the two men were lifted
to seat. There was no need of binding
them, for they needed some more restora-
tive agent, as the dogs had made quick
work in disabling them.
After they had been looked to, the old
man cast his eyes about the room. They
rested a moment upon the body of him who
had been shot. and then turned upon the
boys. Phillip told him all that had trans
pired. 1t seemed some time before the old

his arms out to his sons.
"Nohle, noble boys" he uttered, as he

For long time, the old man gazed on
