The Famine in India.

We have given some references in our col
umns in regard to the fearful famine now
raging in India. Brother Parker and others
have made some communications in regard to
it. An exchange says:
"The Indian papers give heart-reuding
pictures of the famine at present pcrvading
Northern India. Every Christian feeling
must be stirred up in deepest sympathy, and
in desire to afford aid to these poor sufferers.
A letter from Lahore says:
1t is only by placing together, side by
side, the private communications Of friends
who are on tho spot or in the neighborhoods,
that one can form any conception of the
acuteness Of suffering and extent OF misery
daily witnessed and experienced in those
parts. From one of several now before me,
[ learn that children are being sold by their
starving parents at the rate Of two annas a
head the purchasers, am told, contemplate
employing them when grown up as domestic
servants, educating them in the Christian re-
ligon, or having them instructed in some
useful branch of art so that when sent out
into the world again they may be able to earn
their bread by honest labor Another friend
thus writes On going out the other day for
my usual constitutional, was driven into
the house again, and there saw pitiable

inanition, had dropped dead during the night
at my gates while the crows were rapidly
gathering round in anticipation oe feast.
saw on her breast the body of q little child,
which, with its mothers nipple in its mouth,
had breathed its last in the final endcavor to
draw nourishment from the exhausted foun-
tain A third writer says: Such horrors,
such awful scenes The cry rings through
the land, come over and help u.s.
1t is not sufficient 10 know that mothers
have eaten their offspring, that wives have
satisfied the raging demands of hunger with
the flesh torn from the bodies of their dead
husbands, and that all the tics of life arc
torn up by the roots and scattered to the
winds 1t is question whether, in the un-
governabe madness of their appetite, they
have paused till life was really extinct in
those whom they have devoured. Narratives

monthly paper, r,-the same that attracted SO
much attention at the last meeting of the
American Institute of instruction, and which
has been introduced into many Of the schools
! Of Massachusetts,. Considerable amusement
was afforded by attempts at practical llustra
tion of some of the simpler exercises of the
system, small bags of very common variety of
pulse being provided for the purpose. 1t may
be proper to add that these sacks Of legumnous
fruit were brought there for seed, and it is to
by hoped that the seed will be found produc-
tive, not as an esculont, but as an educator ;
and perhaps the time may not be distant when
the now vulgar and nonsenscal inquiry, wheth j.
er the teacker knoUs beans, will have serious
significance with examiners and even attain to
the high dignity Of being admitted to the Leg
lslatnre and helping to make law.
During the discussion of the several ques-
tions there was manifested general desire to
know how many persons in the county would
become members Of q teachers training school
for fortnight, next fall, if there were an op.
portunity; whether an opportunity, if desira-
bic and desired, could be provided and if 50,
how it should be done and Dr. Bates of North
field, Rev Mr. McAnn of MONTPELIER, and Mr.
j. S Spaulding of Barre were appointed com.
mittee to find out OF course, those who are
interested in the matter will confer with the
committee.
In considering the third question, it was
thought desirable that examinations should be
conducted wholly or partly in writing, and that
the Superntendents of the different towns should
meet and confer upon the kind and number of
questions for written examinations, and what
proportion of them mi ght be missed by cand-
dates who receive certificates.
Please tell them too, since you did not report
the meeting at the time, that the attendance
and the interest in the proceedings indicated
that the cause of education is progressing even
while there is so much to divert attention, -
that there were a good number of educators
there, from the merry school girl just beginning
to be a teacher, her bright, laughing face very
little sobered by this first approach to matronly
dignity, to the veteran preceptor whose pupils
pupils are teachers, and whose wise suggestions
respecting whatever topic was considered were
the truit Of many years Of constant laborous
experience in the school room or the reverend
College President who does not forget the com
mon school Then there were superintendents
and legislators who sec that there is still room
for improvement, physicians who know the value
of a " sound mind in a sound BODY and min.
listers who do not overlook the mutual depend
ence of religion and education. can furnish
no ttlng report Of the essays by the ladies, the
able lecture by Rev. Mr.. Parker, or the elo
lueut and patriotic address by President Pease,
which was in itself both preaching and prac-
tice on the duty of educators to be teachers Of
loyalty and patriotism Yours truly,

Remember the Soldiers.

The Pittsburgh Adrocate makes some val.
liable suggestions in regard to our volunteers,
which are worthy of consideration and action.
1t says
"Other agencies, such as religious books,
tracts ahd papers, should be employed in this
work. Their circulation among the volun-
teers cannot fail to be attended with immense
benefits. They will help to keep alive taste
for such reading And they may surprise
the soldier, in moments of reflection, with
some happy thought that shall prove to him
Il safeguard in the hours of greatest tempta-
ton. Religious societies are beginning to
move in this matter, and their action should
secure the sanction and cooperation of all.
The salutary influence of good books, and
tracts, and papers can hardly be ovcrestima-
ted. Silent messengers, they accomplish a
mission of mercy, and peace, and love. They
carry with them memories of home. and loved
ones, and DID, familiar scenes. Idle hours
are occupied with their hallowed and inspir-
ing thoughts. And inscnsbly they aspire to
occupy moments that otherwise were devoted
to evil and vicious pursuits. What we most
need is the establishment of direct, immediate
and earnest sympathy between the camp and
home lite. In all past time the soldier has
been kept too much from the cvilizing and
Christianizing influences of the home circle.
Letters from home, mementoes from home, to.
kens of affection from home, these will WELD
a magic influence over men in the tented field.
All may find something to do. All may aid
in the blessed work of keeping the soldier free
from dcmoralizing influences

PRICE, TWO CENTS.

are hundreds Of Europeans in India whose
boncvolonce and humanity arc deeply stirred
by the bare fact that masses of their fellow
mortals and without morsel.'
A letter from Nusserabad says:
The accounts that | have heard OF the
distress round about here are truly most aw-
ful. Those who have the means of migrating
are all doing SO from their famine-cursel
country; and my military informants told
me that on the line of march they had passed
many camps of these unfortunate refugees
from hunger hurrying on in search of new
Canaan. Everywhere was exhibited the trsg-
edy of the deserted village. The aged and
the infrm could be hardly said to be tenants
where the jackal and the dog had undisputed
sway. Human beings were seen grubbing up
the ant-hills and robbing the occupants of
their tiny boards of precious grains of corn.
This, assure you, is no fancied picture it
is fearful tragedy of real ife.'
