EVILS OF MENTAL PREcocITY.

The following paragraph from ". A.
COrnell's late work. entitled "How to En-
JOY Life" " presents subject which should
be well understood by parents and teachers
of precociOus children.
"The premature development of the
mind and neglect of the body, have long
been prominent evils in our educational
system 1t is often very pleasant to fond
parents to see how bright, intelligent and
witty their child is; and, they often find
great satisfaction in showing to others the
briIliancy and mental sprightliness of their
precociOus darling. Such parents know
not what they are doing. All the praises
lavished by such parental folly. and fond
aunts, and dOting grandparents, and inju-
dicious friends, tends to the serious injury,
and almost certain destruction of their chill
dren. Their keen flashes and sparkling
witticism are but the indications of an
overstretched mind, and a neglected body.
Our many systems of education thus de-
stroys many children every year. This
neglect of the physical and stimulating the
mental man, is the more to be deplOred,
from the fact that this early precocity is |
wholly unnecessary; because, many Of the !
best educated and useful men the world
has ever seen, were very dali pupils, in ear
ly childhood. Andrew Fuller. Sir Walter
Scott and Daniel Webster, were all very
dull scholars when children; and yet, who |
has ever done more in theological discus
siOns than the former? Or, who. in the !
whole world of intellect than the secOnd7
Or. who at the Bar and in the Senate, than |
the latter?

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR.

The following from Ruskin, the most po-
etic writer on art that ever lived, are as
truthful as they are beautifully expressed.
In his Stones of Venice he says
ave are always, in these days, endeav-
oriDg to separate intellect from manual Ia
Dor; VIC want one man to be always think
ing, and another to be always labOring:
and We call one a gentleman and the 9TH
er an operative; whereas, the workman
ought often to be thinking, and the think
er often to be working. and both should be
gentlemen in the best sense. AS it is, we
make both ungentle-the one envying, and
the other despising. his brother; and the
mass of society is made up of morbid think
ers and miserable workers. Now it is on
ly by labor that thought can be made heal
thy, and only by thought that labor can be
made happy; and the two cannot be sepa-
rated with impunity. It would be well if
all of US were good handcraftsmen of some
kind, and the dishOnor of manual labor
done away with altogether"

WHAT BECOMES OF ALL THE
NEWSPAPERS.

The NewburypOrt HsnQH has the fol-
lowing inquiry and calculation, which Is
quite as interesting to the general public
as to the inquiry, What becomes of all
the pins?' 1t sayx-There are published
In this country and Canada nearly threo
thousand newspapers More than one-half
are weekly; the remainder are divided into
semi-weeklies. tri-weekies and dailies-
These papers would more than reach around
the globe. We have sometimes heard it
asked, how high would all these papers
reach, if piled on the top Of each other, just
the thickness of one sheet Some have an
swered thousand feet; others two thou
sand; others mile But all are wide of
the mark. Dr.. Ayres, Of Lowell, is prob
ably the only man in the United States,
who takes all the journals of our country,
Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
By actual measurement, he has ascertain
ed that, in one year, his exchanges amount
in height neither to a thousand feet, nor
6ve thousand feet, nor two miles, nor five
miles, nor ten nor twelve, but to more than
fourteen miles.
In short, the newspapers published north
Of the southern line of the United States
are nearly FIVE times higher than the Mont
Blanc in Europe mountain which over
looks circle whose diameter is four hun
dred miles. The New York Herald and
the Philadelphia Ledger 'wet down for
the press, each, daily, makes heap eight
feet high, or together (for the New York
Herald publishes on Sunday annually a
mile perpendicular, which is not far from
the height of Mount Washington. We
have not included in this calculation Har-
per's Magazine, the Atlantic Monthly.
Cooley, Graham, Peterson. Ladies' Reposi-
tory, &c, &c. Harper's Magazine, accord
ing to its publishers statement, cireulates-
monthly 10000 copies, each of which is

number will be represented by 2,o4o,O00;
or, if these numbers could be placed one
upon another, we should have 50, 81 feet

DEBT.

How to go in debt is an art that most
persons learn from bitter experience. In
all departments of labor it is an art easily
taught, but not 50 easily reduced to prae-
teal operation The rule to be laid down
i, that debt should never be contracted for
what VIC consume. A tanner may proper
ly buy hides on credit. for his labor does
not consume them. but gives an additional
value to them; the shoemaker may buy the
leather on credit, for his labor too adds to its
value, but when the wearer Of the shoes buys
them on credit, then neither the shoe-mak-
er. or tanner, nor seller of hides has any
security for the debt. The wear
er of the shoes has destroyed it. So
farmer may buy land on credit, because his
labor on it adds to its value: he may pur-
chase growing stock on credit, because his
grass crop is improving it. But when he
goes to the store and buys merchandise on
,redit, which he consumes, relying upon
crops. and unstaple prices to pay
he merchant, when he endangers his own
security, and that of the various classes of
merchants who are depending upon each
'ther. Capital, to be useful. must be en-
olOyed; and as the labor of most of US is

MISTAKEN CALCULATIONS.

Some persons make great mistakes in
calculating percentages. and even some
practical merchants have fallen into the
same error If man sell goods at fifty
per cent profit and takes of thirty-seven
and half per cent. for prompt cash pay
ment, he often thinks it will leave him a
margin of twelve and half per cent. Of
profit. 1t does no such thing. and he viii
find on reflection that he is selling below
cost For example, he buys hundred
dollars worth of goods and sells them at
6fty per cent profit, realizing one hundred
and fifty dollars. But discount of thir-
ty-seven and half per cent. for prompt
payment would amount on hundred and
fifty dollars to fifty-six dollars and twenty
five cents, leaving him six dollars and
twenty-five cents less than the goods cost
him Men who make analogous deductions
for prompt payment, or with view to hold
on customer anyhow. are constantly gull
ty of such errors. They deduct from what
they have never received-the profits of the
sale. If any one puts on a profit Of fifty
per cent and deducts thirty-three and
third for cash payment, he lands just where
he started. and sells at bare first cost. |
