Ray Mrs. Stowe, in one of her Chin.
neg Corner essays, gets off the follows
ing things which it would be well
to think of:
"In all this talk about the rights
of men, and tho rights of women, and
the rights of children, the word seems
to be forgetting what is quite as i'm i,
portant-the duties Of men, women,
and children. We all hear of our
rights till we forget our duties; and
even theology is beginning to concern
itself more with what man has right
to expect of his Creator than what
the Creator has a right to except Of
man"

PopULAL EDUcATIoN.-The nations
of Europe are beginning to wake up
to the Importance of education being
extended to the whole body of the
people, and not confined TO few,
and these few of particular and, in
some respects, privileged class
Even old despotic Austria is said to
be thinking of extending education
to the masses. In England there
have long been what are nicknamed
public schools, for, though founded
expressly Tor the people, they have
been monopolized, almost exclusive
ly, by the higher orders, and the
funds perverted TO the use Of those
whose parents are well able to pay
for their education. while the poor
are entirely excluded, except in few
rare and particular cases.

SETTING HENs.-lt is not best to
allow hens TO set till the weather is
so mild that there is no danger OF
the eggs freezing, when the hens are
off the nests We always put an odd
number under them and make ring
around each with a lead pencil, so as
to be able to know which eggs to re
move, when other hens lay in the
same nest, as is often the case. Elev-
en- eggs is the usual number to put
under hens, when they are common
hens eggs; but nine eggs of the ASH
attic breeds, are enough to put under
our native fowls. At the end of two
weeks, hold each egg up to the sun,
with your hand enc;rcling it, and
close to your eye, and if they appear
of a lucid color, they are addle, and
should be thrown away, retaining al
of a dark color for the hen to finish
her setting upon.-The Rural 4meri-
can.
