NEVER TELL TOO MUcn.-Do not tell
the learner too much about a subject, and
puzzle him with many things, before he
has understood the first principles; do not
aim at being wonderfully profound in your
first explanation, but reserve your pro-
flndity for subsequent stages. Even cx-
trcmo accuracy may be dispensed with at
first; it is not wise to puzzle the learner
with little niceties and rcfncmcnts, when
he is convulsivcly graspng at anything
like an approximate idea of matter in
hand. You will not mislcad him by using
or permitting an expression which is not
quite technically accurate; the mistake
will not fix itself upon his mind, for he is
not giving his attention to that little point
in which the inaccuracy lies; he is not yet
able to appreciate nice distinctions and
petty exceptions. The first thing is to
give him a rough general idea of the sub
jcct; and when he has mastered that, you
may proceed to enlarge, refine, and dive
deep. There arc some teachers who can
not hold their peace when occasion re-
quires, but seem impclled by their nature
to tell all they know upon every subject
they touch upon the consequence is, that
the learner, being unable 10 discriminate
between the essential and the non-cssen-
tial is overwhelmed with the mass Of
learning, and instead OF having a clear
idea of the main points, has an indistinct
recollection of many things.

How TO MEET SLANDER.--A blacksmith
having been slandered, was advised to APP

THE LOVERS TExT.-The lover has no
conscience in his dealing. lie gets his
due and asks for it again! lie is never
paid! Something remains, or the coin is
hardly to his mind He accepts it at one
moment and rejects itat anothcr-wcighs
it to the fraction of q grain and still
doubts whether it may not be light.
Rings it with such car as never a tuner
Of an instrument applied to a string!
Scrutinizes mintage with an eye that mag
nifes thousand fold +. and, after all, slls-
poets, from sheer inability to trust his ical-
Gus senses, or for the pleasure Of imagin-
ing default where he knows none exists,
that he may enjoy the rcitcration ofsweet
though uncalled for warranty The
frank lips of the maiden have avowed it;
"a world" not only "sighs," but of tears,
had affected it at sudden times had her
changing checks revealed the ftful
mood. and yet he wanted more more,
even though it cost a pang! a pang,
but unquestionably commiscratcdfrom the
knowledge, not only, that it was without
a cause, but that it was certain of being
superseded by transport. Defend us, !"
some of our fair readers may exclaim,
':from such lovcrw No lover that is
not like him is worth Il sigh. The thorn
is the property of tho rose, as much as its
blush and breath! They never live
asundcr.

THE BLOOM OF AGE.-A good woman
never grows old. Years may pass over
her head, but if bcncvolcnco and virtue
dwell in the heart, she is rs cheerful as
when the spring Of life first opened to her
view. When we look upon good wo-
man, VIC never think Of her age; she
looks as charming as when the rose Of
youth bloomcd on her cheek. That rose
has not faded yeti will never fade.
In her family she is the life and delight.
In her neighborhood she is the friend and
bcncfactor. In the church, the devout
worshipper and the exemplary Christian
Who does not respect and love the woman
who has passed her days in acts of kind
ness and mercy-who has been the friend
of man and God-whosc whole life has
been scene of kindness and love, de-
votion to truth and relgion2 Wcrepeat,
such a woman can never grow old. She
will always be fresh and buoyant in spir-
its, and active in deeds of mercy and be-
nevolencc. If the young lady desires to
retain the bloom and beauty Of youth, let
her love truth and virtue; and to the
close Of life she will retain those feelings
which now make life appear garden OF
sweets ever fresh and ever new.

Success in Life.

Benjamin Franklin attributed his sue
cess as public man, not to his talents or
his powers of spcalling-for these were
but modcratc-but to known integrity of
character. "uencc it was," be says,
. that had so much weight With my fcl-
low-citizens. I was but bad speaker,
never eloquent, subject to much hesitation
in my choice of words, hardly correct i'll
language, and yet I generally carried my
point" Character creates confidence in
men in high station as we'll as in humble
life. 1t was said of the first Emperor AL
exandcr Of Russia, that his personal char
acter was equivalent to q constitution.
During the wars ofthe Fronde, Montaignc
was the only man among the French gen.
try who kept his castle gates unbarrcd;
and it was said of him, that his personal
character was worth more to him than
regiment of horse. That character is
power, is true in much higher sense
THAN that knowledge is power. Mind
without heart, intelligence without con-
duct, cleverness without goodness, are
powers only for mischief We may be
instructed or amused by them; but it is
sometimes as difficult to admire them as
it would be to admire the deXterity Of IL
piclS-pocl1ct OF the horsemanship of Il
highwayman. Truthfulncss, integrity,
and goodness qualities that hang not on

misfortune that the character of the up

lustre; and when all else fails, he takes

MAKE THE BEST OF IT.-A determina-
ton to make the best Of ererythng is a
wonderful smoother of difficulties which
besct us in our passage through this pro-
bationary scene. In Peter Pindars story
of the sPilgrim and the Peas" two fel-
lows upon whom the penance Of walking
to q certain shrine with peas in their
shoes had been enjoined, are represented
as having performed their tasks under
very different circumstances and in very
different moods. One of them having
taken precoution to soften his peas by
boiling them, tripped lightly and mcrrlly
over the ground; the other, who had not
''gumption" enough to turn his hard pei
lets into poultice, by the same process,
limped and howled all the way. 1t is
pretty much the same in our pilgrimage
through this "valc of tears" The impa-
tient and imprudent travel on hard peas,
the prudent and sagacious make them
selves easy in their shoes, and run cheer
fully the race that is set before them.

SouTH CAROLINA MAIDS OF TIE OLDEN
TIME.-Thc Selma Sentinel has cXhumcd
the following curious petition, which, it
says, was signed by sixteen maids at
Charleston, and presented to the Cover
nor of that Province on March LIST, 1888 4:
To HIS ErccUeacy Coz. Jodsnson:
The humble petition Of all maids whose
names are underwritten
Whereas we, the humble petitioners,
are, at present, in very melancholy dis
position of mind considering how all the
bachelors are captivatcd BY widows and
our youthful charms arc thereby neglect,
ed; /; the consequence of this our request
is, that your ExcelIcncy will, for the fil-
ture, order that no widow shall presume
to marry any young man till tho maids are
provided for; or else pay each OF them a
fine for satisfaction for invading our liber-
ties; and likewise fine to be laid Oh all
such bachelors as shall be married to wild
ows. The great disadvantage it is to us,
old maids, is that the widows, by their for
ward carriages, do snap up the young
men, and have the vanity to think their
merits beyond ours, which is Il great i'm
position on us who have the preference.
This is hrlmbly recommended to your
Excellency's consideration, and we hope
you will prevent any further insults.
