THE NORTHERN MoNTHLY.-Thero
has been laid on our table copy Of the
Northern Monthly for January, and an
examination of its pages shows that this
new venture in the world Of periodical
literature has taken fresh and hopeful
start. Harriet Prescott Spofford begins
a serial story, the January portion OF
which, is, magnificent prose poem. An
article upon Charles Dickens In America
reveales keen and terrible pen, and al
though the views of the writer will call
out criticism, they will also command at
tention. Other contributors are Writ
Skies, who tells us all about Phila-
delphia;" Mr.. Tufts, who analyses the
power and the style of three eminent
metropolitan clergymen, Beecher, Chap.
in and Duryea, Harriet McEwen Kim
ball, whose poem Befriended," is a
gem. The Editorial Department has
features which distinguish it from other
Magazines, and its literary matter Is
worked up in quite novel way.

A Card.

To Parents and Guardians.
After due deliberation, we deem it our
imperative duty to call your immediate
attention to the extreme neglect and ut
ter carelessness, prevalent among you,
respecting the success of your schools,
and the education of your children. A
thorough knowledge OF the great respon-
sibilities deyolving on us, has prompted
US in this manner, to appeal to you to
exercise more earnest watchfulness
over the mental training of those placed
in your care. Do MT your actions prove
that you are fearfully regardless of their
advancement in literary attainments?-
We ask how many of you have visited
the several schools during the time they
have been in session this winter, for the
purpose of ascertaining their progress?-
How many have been so deeply inter-
ested in the welfare and improvement of
their children us to be attentive to their
promptness in attendance and rectations
| at school? How many have cherished
! in their bosoms the best solcitude con-
cerning the development of their intel
ectual faculties, and have evinced their
anxiety by investigating their deport-
ment? Must we say it? Not one! not
one parent has appeared with the object
of infusing animation into, or promoting
ers must perform ardu0us duties without
any indication OF encouragement from
any one, and, if they do MT accomplish
every desirable end, the blame is ilnpu-
| ted to them, and the failure ofthe pupils
in improvement, is ascrihed to the in
competency of the Instructor. Surely
| teaching is thankless vocation. Let
the teachers strive their utmost, make
every possible effort, tax every energy,
and exhaust themselves by the ince5sant
labor, what good can they render with
oet the assistance of the parents? They
must secure their aid in stimulating them
to action, in melting themtO study, and
only when this is effected, can they be
inspired with the hope and confidence of
success. No doubt you entertain a desire
that your children may acquire an ex-
cellent education, may be well informed
in every branch of literature, but you do
not pursue the course calculated to secure
this result. To effect your wish, you
should visit the schools, should see that
your children are present at the proper
time, you should require them to- study
their lessons diligently at home. and
lastly, should enlcavor to prevent them
seeking those pursuits which have u ten
dency 10 weau the mind away from
study. Hoping to enlist your attention,
anI thereby achieve beneficial results,
we ask you to give this subject sufficient
confederation, and prompt and earnest
action.

HOUSES WANTED.-As usual, this time
OF year, there is demand for houses,
and some of our people talk of having to
leave town, for want of houses to live
in.
If the men Of means in this place will
not build houses, we can see no remedy
for the present scarcity, but in the organ
isation .ofa Building Association. Let
those who are annoyed every year, try
Ing to rent houses, join together with
sush of cur business men as are willing
to aid, and organize such an Association,
and they, may, in a few years be able to
supply the demand for houses. Twenty
families might be added to the producing
