THE CAR OF JUGGERNAUT.-In one OF
his recent lectures, Mr.. Gangoolly, the con
verted Brahmin, corrects some of the popu.
lar impressions in regard to the car of Jug,
gernaut. He says
This car took its origin from the fact
that Crishua, the god, when a child, lived
in the village or Kouka. The King in a
n~eighboring province had a great festival,
and invited Crishpa to be present, and sent
a car to carry him to the festival. 70 com,
memorate the fact, the Hiudoos carry the
image of Crishua on it, to las they say) give
him a good ride. AS to the self:sacrifce of
the Hindoos, it is not true. The Hindoos
believe that if a sinner should give two or
three pulls to the ropes connected with the
car he will be taken to Heaven bya SINH,
lar car. This false idea induces many of
the mental Hindoos to 20 forward and pull
these cars and often by their carelessress
they fall under the wheels and are immola.
ted. l once saw four perish 10 this way, so
that their faces were entirely obliterated.-
When caution is taken, 20 one is killed
When a heavy car gets in motion it cannot
be stopped, being drawn by hosts of horses.
The ropes with which the people pull the
car are five hundred yards long

CoNsIsTENCY.-A father never gains the
affection of his children by refusing to de-
eide their disputes, or settle them; but he
looses a vast deal of their respect if he evades
or shuns the subject. And those opinions
expressed before the younger members of
the family should be held consistently. 1t
will not do to state one thing in theory,
and allow your children to see you reverse
it in practice daily and hourly by such a
method one thing is eusured-contempt ;
and contempt is alike fatal to love, respect,
or imitation.

SEPARATING THE SEXES IN SCHOOL,
On this point, Mr.. Stowe, a celebrated
Glasgow teacher, uses the following Ian.
guage:
"The youth of both sexes Of the Scottish
peasantry have been educated together,
and, as a whole, the Scotch are the most
moral people on the earth. Education in
England is given separately, and We never
heard from practical men that any benefit
has arisen from this arrangement. Some
Influential individuals there mourn over the
prejudice on this point. To Dublin, a lar.
ger number of girls turned out badly who
had been educated alone until they attain
ed the age Of maturity, than those who were
otherwise brought up-the separation Of
the sexes has been found injurious. 1t is
stated, on the best authority, that of those
girls educated in the schools of converts,
apart from boys, the majority 90 wrong
within a mouth after being loose into soci
ETY. and meeting the other sex. They can.
not, it is said, resist the slightest compli
ment or fattery. The separation is intend
ed to keep them strictly moral but this
unnatural seclusion actually generates the
very principles desired to be avoided. We
may repeat that it is impossible to raise the
girls as high, Intellectually, without boys
as with theu-and it is impossible to raise
boys morally without girls. The girls moral.
ly elevate the boys, and the boys intellec'
tually elevate the girls. But more than
this-girls themselves are morally elevated
by the presence of boys, and boys are in'
tellectually elevated by the presence oil
girls. Girls brought up with boys are more
positively moral, and boys brought up in
schools with girls are more positively intel.
%lectual, by the softeniug influence of the
female character. In the Formal Semina
ry at Glasgow, the most beneficial effects
have resulted from the more natural course.
Boys and girls from the age Of two or three
years to that of fourteen or fifteen, have
been trained in the same classroom, gal.
@leries and Fairgrounds without improprie'
ty, and they are never separated except at
needle-work."

WHAT BECOMES OF THE NEwsPAPERsI
The Newburyport Herald has the follow
ing inquiry and calculation (which is quite
as interesting, to the general public as the
inquiry, what becomes of all the pinsT
1t says:
There are published in this country and
Canada nearly three thousand newspapers.
More than one.balf are weekly the remain
der are divided into semi weeklies, tri-week-
lies, and dailies. These papers would more
than reach around the globe. We have
sometimes heard it asked how high would
all these journals reach, if piled on the top
of each other, just the thickness ofone sheet.
Some have answered a thousand feet; 9TH
ers, two thousand others, a mile. But all
are wide of the mark. DR.. Aver, ofLowell,
is probably the only man in the United
States who takes all the journals ofour coun-
try, Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Sco'
tia. By actual measurement be ascertained
that in one year his exchanges amount in
height neither to a thousand feet nor FIVE
thousand, 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
Mount B..anc in Europe-a mountain which
overlooks a circle whose diameter is four
hundred miles. appropriated upon cannot
be ground over and made anew. Printers
ink spoils paper for remanufacture, and the
great amount of paper which enters into pub.
lie journals, after beiugperused, is not bound
up and laid aside, as it should be, for future
reference, but goes to waste. A portion is
used for wrapping paper, but sad as is the
reflection, newspapers containing so much
that has cost mind-labor, sleepless nights
and weary days, go to waste-'hurries to
indistinct decay Let each one, after
reading these figures, do his W morali-
