THE TURN OF LIFE.

Between the years of forty and sixty
a man who has properly regulated
himself may be considered in the
prime Of life. His matured strength
of constitution renders him almost
impervious to attacks of disease, and
experience has given soundness to his
Judgment. His mind is rcsolutc, firm
and equal; all his functions are in the
highest order; he builds competence
on the foundation he has formed in
early manhood; passes through peri
cd of life attended by many gratilica-
tons. Having gone year or two past
sixty he arrives at a stand still But,
athwart this is a viaduct, called The
Turn of Life" which if crossed in safe
ty leads to the valley of "old age"
round which the river winds and then
beyond without a boat or causeway
to effect its passage. The bridge is,
however, constructed of fragile mate.

Gout and apoplcxy are also in the vi

thrust him from the pass !; but let him
grid up his loins and provide himself
with filter staff an d he may trust il

DESIGN OF EDUCATION.

If we rightly comprehend the OBJ
jcct of education, il is to prepare the
pupil for the duties of life. If this
view be correct, education is not SIM
ply pouring an process ; not merely
storing of the mind with words, or
even with ideas neither is il merely
an exercise Of the memory, by which
the opinions of others are made famil
lar to the mind but it is, as the ORR
gin Of the word clearly indicates,
draaetns om operation. teaching the
pupil to rely on his own resources, to
invent ideas for himself, to apply the
knowledge obtained from books to
the affairs of every day life.
He, whose mind is simply an inn
mense storc-house filled with crude
mass of knowledge gained from books,
or from the living teacher, without
the capacity to distinguish between
that which is of u practical aud USE
ful nature, and that which is not such;
who has not been taught to think, rca-
son, and conclude for himself is but
poorly prepared to meet the stern re-
alities Of life Such a one will be
unstable in all his ways" and,
like the vanc upon the spire, will be
continually shifting to accommodate
himself to the ever varying opinions
and circumstances which surround
him.
The great mass of educators for
get, or do not realize, the true object
for which they should labor, and do
not sufficiently obligc thcir pupils to
exercise their own mental faculties
The fond parent who should always
carry his healthy, robust child, lest
the exertion of walking should weary
him, and who, as a natural conse
qucnce, dcprives him Of ever gaining
the ability to walk, commits much
smaller injury than that teacher who
carries his pupils over all the hard
spots, and always does their thinking
and planning for them. ..... ...-.
Teach pupils to think for themselves
when young, and to SO reason that
they can arrive at just conclusions.
and they will make men of sterling
worth in society, and not merely tools
to be made use of by willy aud de-
signing men. Teach them that the
only use to which they can apply
their knowledge is in the transactions
Of life, and that every species of
knowledge should be discarded which
does not tend to make a man better
qualified to discharge his duties as
man and a citizen, and the foundation
will be laid for an intelligent and viz
tuous generation TO succeed us, one
into whose hands we can safely COM
nit our free government and free in-
sttutions, with the full assurance that
they will be preserved unimpaired,
and in turn be transmitted in all their
perfection to generations yet unborn.

THE CHIMNEY CORNER.

The old chimney corner /! 1t is en-
deared to the heart from the earliest
rccollcctions What dreams have
been dreamed there What stories
told what bright hours passed 1t
was place to think in, place to
weep in, to laugh in, and much the
coziest place in the house to rest in.
1t was there where dear old grand
mamma used to sit at her knitting,
warming her poor rheumatic back
against the warm wall; where grand,
pa used to fall asleep over his news
paper; where mamma used to place
her spinning-whccl, and papa used to
sit there too, and read in the great
armchair.
1t was there where you used to
read fairy tales inyour childhood fold
ed all so snug, and warm, and cozy,
in its great warm lap, while the wind
of winters night was whistling
without. Your favorite plum-cake
was never so sweet as when eaten
there, and the stories you read hy the
sitting-room fircside were never half
SO fascinating as those read in the
chimney corner.
you were sad, you went there to
cry. lfyou were merry, you, with
your brothers and sisters, nestled
there, to have right merry time.
Even puss and the house dog loved
the old chimney corner!
Look back to the old house, where
every nook is so full of pleasant rec
ollections-thc family sitting-room,
where were so many happy meetings +;
your own chamber, with its little
window, "where the sun came peeping
in Mt morn :" mothers room, still sa-
cred with her presence. But, after all,
the brightest memories cluster about
that chimney corner. You long to be
folded in its faithful old bosom again,
as you were in childhood, and have "A
good cry over all those past happy
times. 1t is dcsolate now. The
bright faces that clustered there of
yore will never come back again.
Black and dingy are the loved walls,
and the smoke from the kitchen fire
never makes them warm any more
But still memory sets mp some of the
holiest and most beautiful statues Of
her carving in the old chimney corner.

TOO MUCH REQUIRED.

The question of right and wrong IN
morals is often one merely of degree.
On the one hand, there is the danger
of too lille; and on the other, the
equal or greater one of too much.
What is thus true in the province of
morals, is equally true in that OF cdu-
cation especially in respect to the
amount of labor required of the pupil.
Ii is a common mistake, we think, of
teachers at the present day to require
too much.
This may be done indirectly, by as
suming that facts and principles long
familiar to the teacher are equally SO
to his pupils, and thus in effect reqnir-
ing too much of previous knowledge.
Any teacher who will test the prof,
cheney of his pupils hy searching
questions, will soon fad that he has
made mistakes OF this sort
But more common error is that OF
assigning lessons too long, or too diff
ficult to be thoroughly mastered.
This practice is none the less injuri
ous that it springs from a laudable
desire on the part of the teacher to
do the most he can for his pupils
He should remember that he will d,
the most for them by not attempting
too much. Instead then of beginning
the term with the foregone conclusion
that certain dm0am Of ground mus
be Travelled over during the term, le
the purpose be formed, and steadil,
adhered to, that whatever is done
shall be done iatdit,sentiy and thorough
IIy-that difficulties that fairly Ii,
within the compass of the lesson shal
bc cxpaiued and illustrated unit
they are understood by all in tn,
class :and let this be done habitnally
So far as the point under considera
tion is Involved. the secret Of success
/ ful teaching lies in this; the horoae,
mastery # er9y lesson given to th
! class, followed by ffeqaeat and searcl
ing rertems. The old maxim, dircctin,
