DurY OF SISTERS 1t is the duty of ell
der sisters to take lively interest in the
education of the younger children, and to
use all the advantages which they have re-
lceived, for the benefit Of those who are
coming forward in the same line.
They should aid their parents in the
choice of schools, and ascertain what is ac-
tually learned in them. When circum-
stances render it necessary that the older
children should assist in teaching the young
er ones, it should Re done cheerfully; not
las duty merely, but as a useful discipline.
Some writer's on education consider teach
ing others the best ant' mast effectual way
'of learning ones self.~a WIes Madame De
Genlis described what she considered as a
perfect system Of education, she represent
ed her models as taking young children to
teach as part of their own instruction.
It has been said, with much truth. that
we we are never sure that we know a
thing thoroughly until we have taught il

FIRST STEP TO RUIN MY first step to
ruin exclaimed wretched youth, as he
tossed from side to side on his straw bed in
one corner Of his prison house, was going
fishing on the Sabbath. I knew it was
wrong, my mother taught me better; my
bible taught me better; but would heed
none Of them. I did not think it would
ever come to this. I am undone! | am

What a warning is contained in the above
lines, to Sabbath breakers The wanton
dissertation Of that holy day may be looked
upon as light thing, by frivolous young
men, but its not so. God, in his Word
and in his Providence, makes it very Sc
rious matter. It is more corrupting to the
heart than many suppose. Itseems to lead
directly away from, and, consequently to
crime, with strange facility. Just watch
the course Of the habitual sabbath scorner,
and you will most likely see him come to
some bad end. Perhaps he becomes an in
|fdel, and says in his heart, There is no
God! Beware Of 'the first step to ruin =

MI DEsPERANDuM.-A gentleman from
Brunswick was in the city few days since
who certainly ranks first in the lists Of true
lovers and is the only man we ever heard
OF who could justly lay claim to the jewel
Of consistency in affairs Of the heart. Many
years ago be laid seige to lady's hand,
lost it, and another bore the prize away
|She became widow he essayed again,
with all the ardor of reviving hope But
aei1o-she married his brother. A second
time she became widow, and for the third
time he charged the fortress Of his still I'M
|blighted hopes. Again it fell into the hands
of rival and he was compelled to cave in
for the time. She since lost her third hus-
band, and as youth still beamed from her
bonnie blue eyes, the thrice sighted lover
sued again, and won. We leave it to low
ers to say whether the success was glorious
or inglorious. We trust that it may be
crowned with glorious long life-his i'm
mutable perseverance deserves it.

A WONDERFUL EMEr1c. A boy had swal-
lowed silver dollar. None of the faculty
could devise any alienation, and as last
resort, the inventor of the great Universal
Pillinus was sent for 1T is evident" said
Mr.. Hack, ''that so large G coin can never
be brought up, by any emetic known to
the science however, give the boy this pill
and watch the result" The pill was given,
and strange to relate, in less than an hour
afterwards, the boy threw up the dollar, not
in coin as originally swallowed, but in 1fve
cent pieces We learn that the patient is as
well as could be expected.
This was effectual, but by no means,
(says the New Haven Register,) as ngen-
ious as the plan resorted to by physician
of our acquaintance. who had swallowed

LIMA BEANS. Who that has once tested
this delicious esculent can wish to spare any
needtul pains in cultivatiug it successfully I
Many persons plant it in the richest soil and
give it the full liberty of twelve or fifteen
feet pole; the consequence is, that the upper
halt OF the vine is practically useless. The
strength of the plant is wasted in making
branches high up in the air, which cannot
mature pods before the frosts set in. Lii
mas should be pinched in as soon as they
reach six feet in height. They then throw
out laterals, on which pods form and ripen
before cold weather begins. And the whole
vine will be within the easy reach and man
agement of the cuItivator. -Agriculiurist.

EtiQulette.

The following rules of etiquette are laid
down by Southern journal:
1st. Before you bow to a lady in the
street permit her to decide whether you may
do so or not by at least look Of recogni-
tion
I'd. When your companions bow to a
lady. you should do the samo. When a
gentlemen bows to lady in your company
always bow to him in return.
In giving them publicity, the Albany
atlas and argus makes the following time
ly and truthful comments
Nothing is SO lily understood in America
as these conventional laws Of society, SO well
understood and practiced in Europe. La
dies complain that gentlemen pass them in
the street unnoticed, when, in fact, the fault
arises from their breach of politeness. 1t
is their duty to do the anliable first, for it
is privilege which ladies enjoy Of shoosing
their own associates or acquaintances. No
gentlemen likes to risk the ''cut" in the
street by lady through a premature salute.
Too many ladies, it would seem, don't know
their trade Of politeness. Meeting ladies in
the street, whom one has casually met in
company, they seldom bow, unless he bows
first; and when a gentleman ever departs
from the rule Of good breeding, except oc-
casionally, by way Of experiment, his ac-
quaintances do not multiply, but he stands
probably charged with rudeness. A lady
must be civil to gentleman into whose com
pany she may be casually placed; but a
rootlnroor ;c not ,,por thic 10 y,racpn,o 1,y,or
an acquaintanceship the first time he after
wards meets her in the street. If it be her
will, she gives some token of recognition,
when the gentleman may bow; otherwise be
mustpass on and consider himselfa stranger
No lady need hesitate to bow to gentleman
for he will promptly and politely answer,
even if he has forgotten his fair saluter nc
one but a brute can do otherwise should he
pass on rudely, his character is declared,
and there is a cheap radiance. Politeness OF
good breeding, is like law-tbe treason Of
things"
