A POPULAR ERRoR.-One of the most
common and fatal mistakes made by ard
ent friends of education, is the indulgence
of unreasonable hopes, and the main
tainance of extravagant views as to what
they can effect by means of it. 1t is often
supposed that great results can be pro-
duced in a single term of twelve or fifteen
weeks. Both teacher and committee aim
at this rapid mode of manufacture. True
education is that which aims at the slow
and healthy growth of the mind; the in
corporation into it Of principles, and the
formation of tastes and habits, the full
value of which will appear only after ma
ture years have developed their tendencies.
The highest and best parts of education
are incapable of exhibition. The show
made at the close of term is well enough
to amuse children and their fond parents,
but is often like that of newly dressed
pleasure grounds, adorned with trees and
shrubs fresh from the nursery, having a
show of vitality in the foliage, though as
vet drawing no sap from the root. Such
frostwork of the school-room is soon dis
solved, and generally passes away with
the occasion. All attempts at such pre-
mature results of education are entirely
useless and yet our system of employing
teachers by the term renders it almost
necessary for teacher who is ambitious
of distinction, to lay his plans for that
kind of superficial culture and mechanical
drill which can be produced in few
weeks, and shown off as evidence OF mar
vellous skill.

SEWARD CONVICTED OF IGNORANCE
A New York paper convicts Mr.. Secre-
tary Seward of some blunderS in history,
in his recently issued circular letter. Such
mistakes as placing Prince Rupert's Island
near the headwaters of the Mississippi,
calling the motto of the Garter the motto
of the British National Arms attributing
TO Cardinal Richlieu the occupation and
fortifcation "of large portion of this
continent from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Straits of Belle isle" though the Cardinal
had been dead quarter of a century ere
the Mississippi was discovered; alluding
TO the L" age of Camoens" as coeyn with
the introduction of slavery to this CONT
nent by Portugal, though the poet died
half century before that event-these
blunders of his past diplomatic CORE
spondence, the critic thinks, were bad
enough, but like ignorance of passing
events is inexcusable. Mr.. Seward, in
his Circular lately published to our Min
isters abroad, speaks of an ordinance OF
emancipation having been adopted In Mis-
souri, which terminates slavery in seven
wears. The ordinance alluded to does not
even pretend to give a slave his liberty
short of thirteen years, and leaves at least
half the slaves now in Missouri slaves tor
life.

GENERAL GRANTS CHARAcTER.-Malor
E. D. Osborn, formerly Of Rochester, a
member of General Grants staff, writes
to a friend in answer to question
in regard to Grants character. lie says
IF you could see the General as he sits
Just over beyond me, with his wife and
two children, looking more like chap
lain than general, with that quiet air so
impossible to describe, you would not
ask me if he drinks. He rarely ever uses
Intoxicating liquors; more moderate in his
habits and desires than any other man l
ever saw; more pure and spotless in his
private character than almost any man l
ever knew; more brave than any man l
saw with more power to command and
ability to plan than any man ever serv-
ed under; cool to excess when Others
lose nerve always hopeful, always un-
disturbed, never failing to accomplish
what he undertakes just as he expects to-.
I have known him intimately-have been
a part of his household for two years,
and am not mistaken in my estimate of
his character"
