MEssRs. EDIToRs.-We proposed last
week giving the readers of the PALLA-
DUN, and especially the educators, a
few. hints which l trust may be made
profitable to ALL There is no Office in
stitnted among men SO importantas that
of teacher. A good teacher under any
form of government is desirable. but
under ours peculiarly SO, since it is a
government of the people, and can only
be perpetuated by their. knowledge and
virtue. AS order and good government
is Gods highest law, SO obedience to,
His law is our highest duty; it should
therefore be the leading object Of, all
teachers to inculcate the grand idea,
and make it prominent in all education
al departments, Show me 9, community
that respects the laws Of God, and I will
show you a community without a traitor
"a, community Of. law7abiding citizens,
where Gods attributes predominate, in
the hearts of the people, regulating their
conduct in civil and religious life. In
such ascommunity you will find nothing
to hurt or to injare in God holy noun
tain,' no grog shops; to, corrupt the
youth no gambling saloons to fitch from
the hand Of industry its hard earned
means, no pettifoggers are found there,
for their bread and butter grows out of
the encouraged vice and licensed GRIMM
ality of grog shops, no demegogues are
bowling in the ears of such a people, for
they wither before their virtue and in
telligence,-and the false priest, whose
ear is only charmed by thee link Of
mammon's box, finds no countenance
where squire and undefted religion rules. ,
Now, to secure the blessings of well
regulated community, teachers should
be expected to educate their pupils in all
those moral excellencies which form the
basis. of all good government; they
should be taught to lore that which is
good, and to hate that which is evil /; and
as the mind Of the teacher is quickened
on. this subject, so will the n ind Of the
pupil be benefited. And since there are
many. very many parents in this country
who fail to teach their children lessons
of morality, it becomes more imperious.
ly the duty of our school teachers to see
that science and morality walk in juxta-
position with each other This should
not be. neglected by our "Teachers9 in
Israel Superintendants of Sabbath
schools, and Sabbath school teachers
all should teach love to God, love to man,
and love for the Government and all
sacred institutions. yeas saAssaiFsv
Teachers of every class know. that to
pursue this course will secure the bless
ings of good government in the civil
and ecclesiastical world, yet, there are
very few who have the courage to do
their duty It is more honorable to
stand like Paul before Felix backed by
the majesty of right, than, like Plate,
shrink from what he protested to be his
duty. - '''ss'e $3.50 sa5 81 ase.
Teachers of every class, think of these
things, andI will give you another les
