To prove these positions he made extended

To prove these positions, he made extended remarks under the following heads:
 Education is not to give child mental facul- ties, but to teach him to make the most of their evolution. We are too apt to cram youthful minds as we coal steamer. We need material not so much as training. The scholar should be made conscious of his mental power, and the teacher has only to direct his mental operations ito instruct him the way to study. If man is bungler in any business, he must use blarney to succeed If he understands his business, his work will speak for him; aud no nsaass ,chat his n,anners are, he will succeed. But the most n,ischierous aking of all is gorernneut in schools. " Perhaps my audience will say am trying to excuse myself" :" If you begin aright government will take care of itself. make scholar unhappy who does not work but my scholars are allowed to be, and are, happy when out of doors." Neither society nor scholars will bear to be beneglected in detail. Some schools will be mischievous, and will stand with their horns presented about a teacher like steers around dog. have seen men fail to drive oxen, who would have succeeded, had they known half as much as the oxen. Study should be made pleasant to children" "Not one scholar in three hundred needs corporeal pun ishment; but verify believe there is once in while specimen of cursed,sess, ,cherc tt is e good Ming to apply to bis Aide!" If scholars are allowed to go to parties, to dances or to pore over yellow-covered literature, it is useless to send them to school.'
 At the close of the lecture, Rev. William T. Bacon moved a vote of thanks for the gentle mans instructive address, which was carried unanimously, the audience voting by rising. c.

How many sui. fer with it, and its attendant symptoms of low spirits, bad taste, coated tongue, obstupifed head and attacks of headache Yet how few know how to cure it Generally, because the bowels are constpated. resort is had to cathartca or laxativcs But such condition was never cured by cathartics, whose only office is to weaken the digestion, and impair the integrity of the entire assimilative system.

& From the Subscriber on Thursday the 2Oth .N. inst, my indented colored boy, Palmetto. Said boy is about seventy years old sprightly and impulsive in his manner, and rather inclined to be insolent in his talk does not love Plantation work, except as an ocerseer, for which station he thinks himself particularly qualified. He has at various times manifested spirit of sulkiness, and insubordination to the rules aud regulations of my Household,-and endeavored to incite mutiny and disobedience among my other ser wants; seeking to induce them to abscond, as he claims they all have right to do.
 understand that Palmetto has often tried to make people believe he has been abused, and denied privileges which other members of my household enjoy He may attempt to pass himself of as white man, and to exhibit what he calls free papers, which have never given him authority to do.
 do not however desire his arrest and return his bad example having been of more injury to my interests, than his service was benefit. As he may seek to get credit in my name, among strangers,--and to run me in debt, as he has al ready done, I hereby warn the public not te trust him on my account, as shall pay no debts of his contracting after the date ofshis elope ment.

Christmas.

C0f1Stm0Ss
 Proverbially, the merriest day of the year. The day of warm salutations, of genial wel-wishes, of sincere expressions of adcrstion to God and of good will to men.
 We New Englanders, brought up, most of us, with the rigid Puritan prejudices, may have been ,1 to consider this festival at the best, of con- .ptuous import, or at the worst of a near ap-
 ch to the borders of the triple-crowned her
 Id the ceremonious follies of the church of

 ls worthily celebrated and happily ordained' express with our lips and hearts, the just and loving feelings of our natures; and thus every year gives more general observance to the day in New England, and tho custom of celebrating Christmas becomes more and more general.
 We wish that it might become universal.
 Without venturing to intrude unseemly ad- vice upon religious denominations of any name or sect whatever, we can yet express the wish that every Congregational and Presbyterian Church might recognize the day with appropri- ate service, and the offerings of prayer and praise.
 The day already is hallowed in many house. hold throughout Connecticut, with family meet ings and greetings, and is the very carnival of the year to the children. Onr affections, from our earliest recollection, have been divided between the feast of Saint Jonathan and the gifts of Santa Claus neither of which annual festivities, we trust, may be plotted from the calendar while memory remains. To-day, (Christmas) while we write, the savory odor of the baked meats rises graciously and de. iiciously to our sense of smelling, the honored meats gratfy and ttillate our sense of taste, and in our minds eye, our vision is awcd and de lighted, as always of yore, at the blazing plum pudding which crowns the feast!
 Long be this fast day honored and observed It behooves us only to speak of it in its secula and bodily sense, and in that sense we pray fo it's perpetuation. And if, indeed, as some cyni critics caution us, it is but resemblance and i'm itation of the old Roman Saturnalas, let us opl wish the old heather had more of such excellen customs, which it might be proper and profitabl for us to initiate and follow
