A PARAGRAPH appeared in the n. Y.
pape.s saying that Archbishop Hughes
had reported twelve thousand and forty
ounces of silver plate TO the assessor
with the remark that the forty ounces
need not be excepted ~ tho govern
ment required the tax. At his Request
the Herald corrcc,s the statement
Tie amount Of liver plate belonging
to the Archbishop was found to be nine
hundred and seventy oance., As reported
and cei, fled to by the official agent OF
Ball. Black d Co. Much OF this con-
sisted OF personal ard complimentary
donations to the Archbishop. The forty
ounces allowed by law were rot taxed
by the "a. e.sor, nor did the Archb'sho OF
request that they should be taxed. The
only thing that could give q coloring to
,hr unfouuded exaggerAtion is, that, N
the Office Of the assesstr, having been
complimcnted by the latter for prompt
ness. the Archbishop remarked that
since the unfortunate circumstances o
our country rendered it necessary thai
the government should be supported
) he thought it wlsest that each citizen
should pay his share Of the taxation with

When the civil troubles of the l1th
century were breaking ont in Eglsnd,
John Milton was travelling in Italy
and enjoying the companionship Of
her poets and philosophers. But on
hearing Of his country's distraction,
he tore himself away from these de-
lights and FASTENED home to serve
her. This he did. not by entering the
army, or the national councils, but by
opening school for boys. So in this
trying time Of our own nation we, as
teachers, may do the same good and
worthy service by conscientious labor
in the school room.

HYMN FOR THE HOUR.

The angels Of Freedom are calling
Their music is borne from the sky;
The chains Of the bondmen are falling,
The jubilee morning spy.
Now chant We the mighty evangel,
And hasten the spirit to free;
For Iberty's beautiful angel
Hath come from the Father to thee.
There is not a bosom but pineth
&, To burst from all slayish control
To bask in the brightness that shineth
To-day from the infinite soul.
Make way for the life-bringing angel,
And hasten the spirit to free;
For Lberty's holy evangel
Hath come from the Father to thee.
The stars in their glory are singing
The race Of oppression is run I;
For slaves into heroes are springing,
And love binds the nations in one.
Christ comes In the Liberty angel
He hastens the spirit to free
And speaks through the holy evangel
That comes from the Father to thee.

EDUCATION.


Education is. properly speaking. the
fullest development of all our powers,
physical, intellectual and moral, OF
which we are capable. A student
may 60 through course of studies in
one of our advanced schools or col
legcs, and may be said to have recei-
we'd an education but il he has at
tended to the development of his in
tellectual faculties merely, he will go
forth into the world with an inferior
moral character and ruined consti-
tuition. Or he may give all his time
to the development of his physical
powers, and be able to make snch dis
plays of them as to draw forth the ad-
miration of the world, yet it will be
at the expense of his moral and intel
lectual powers, which are of more
value than all worldly honors. Edu-
cation is the cultivation of these three
powers. and to neglect any one of
them is to do ones self a serious in
Justice.
While pursuing this subject, it may
be well to make remark or two on
the cultivation Of the physical powers.
First, l would speak of the Importance
of keeping good hours. There is
much truth in the old adage-
Early to bed and early to rise,
Makes man healthy. wealthy and wise,
and it would be we'll for all to remem-
Der it. Nothing is more hurtful to the
constitution than intrusion upon sleep
ing hours. The constitution may sus-
tain its extra burden for a time. but
we may be sure that it will eventually
break down if we persist in violating
natures laws. We should seek to
strengthen the intellect by strengthen.
ing the physical system.
Education does not consist merely
in the exercises Of the school room,
and the cultivation Of the intellect is
not completed when we have finished
our school studies. There are many
ways Of improving the mind. while
out Of school. Much may at all times
be learned. il we will keep our eyes
open. Wherever we 60. our motto
should be, Look. BY adopting such .
course we cannot fail to obtain much
valuable information, every day oi
our lives.
But the most important part Of edu'
cation is the cultivation Of our moral
faculties. We should strive to i'm
prove these to the utmost. If We
