From The Educational Gazette.
The Stepping-St0ne to Wealth.
ny 7. J. pnAvIrr. Morelo.en. W.


The character and value Of every school
depends very much upon the intelligence Of
he community that surrounds the school
house. If, by the combined power Of the
the institute, and the reports, the
Of these communities can be in
creased or general lifting up to light and
knowledge Of those who have been hitherto
partly in darkness and ignorance be brought
about, 80 that the people may understand that
knowledge is power, and that education is
wealth, then these powers will have done a
noble work, that will more than pay for all
their labor and cost.
Let men examine educational as they do
business matters generally, and they will find
that education is the very stepping-stone to
wealth that all tho most lucrative, RESPONSE
bic, and favorable positions in our land are
filled with men Of educated and cultivated
minds. Mind-labor always has, and always
will, command greater pay than physical la
bor Where labor is but muscle work. in
what does it differ from animal labor A
man digs ore from the mountain. 1t requires
no skill, no brains. lie performs the work
Of an OK. Then the orc is smelted but that
requires more skill, and so the smelter stands
higher than the collier. Then the iron is
made into steel This requires still more
judgment and thought, more tact and skill.
On, through every stage by which it becomes
the finest and most finished of steel, it rises
in value in proportion to the fineness Of the
Judgment and skill of the laborer.
We can sec the advantage Of an educated
mind over one that is not educated, in every
department of business, without going into
the professions Let TIE community UNDER
stand and know this, and have them also know
that it is a fact, that in proportion as educa-
tion advances in a country the number Of
criminals diminishos, and that the money
spent in building school-houses is saved from
building prisons. Then they can understand
more fully the lofty strains Of Solomon, when
he says, " Happy is the man that fndeth
wisdom, and the man that getteth understand
ing For the merchandise of it is better than
the merchandise of silver, aud the gain there
ofthan fine gold. Length Of days is in her right
hand and in her left hand riches and honor.
She is tree of life to them that lay hold up
ON her and happy is every one that retaineth
her Exalt her, aud she shall promote thee.
She shall give to thine head an ornament of
grace a crown of glory shall she deliver to
thee" Then parents will no longer permit
their children to grow to manhood not even
half educated
With thoroughly enlightened community,
the schools will become more perfect than it
will be possible to make them with the most
perfect laws, without such a community.

SELECTING FooD.-Women never think of
committing the purchase of their dry goods,
dresses, cloaks, bonnets, or even the material
for children's clothes, to Bridget they would
not even trust the judgment Of the merchant I;
they insist upon seeing coors, selecting pat
terms, and judging of texture for themselves,
Why are they not equally Interested in the
proper selections and purchase of food? Cloth
ing is, to be sure, displayed upon the body,
but food enters directly into its composition;
and that the kind and quality exercise an al
most incalculable influence uponits formation,
and also upon the mind and character, a very
little reflection will suffice to show. tenn
peraie, healthy, well-digestcd diet promotes
beauty; it produces clearnoss Of complexion
regulates organic action, and preserves fresh
ness, yigor, and elasticity till late in life

Sudden Friendships.

1t is quite common for young ladies to form
sudden and violent friendships with others Of
their class, which for a time absorb all their
attention. 1t usually happens that the friend
considers herself at once privileged char
acter and runs in and out at all hours of the
day. Very likely she considers the house as
thrown open to her from garret to cellar,
feels herself privileged to open closets and
drawers and inspect the minutest details other
friends wardrobe, to read her letters, it may
be, and in general to feel that she and her
friend are one, aud not two separate per-
sons
There is one pleasing feature of these at
tachments-they will not last long. Still
they sometimes continue long enough to make
trouble on both sides. 1t is troublesome for
a housokeeper or young lady to have visitors
so uuceremonious rs 10 come at all hours and
to intrude themselves into all parts Of the
house. 1t argues a want Of tact and delica-
cy, without which friendship stands on
very insecure foundation. There is and
should be a sanctity about the privacy of
home that stranger should not meddle with.
1t ought to be some emergency indeed that
takes visitor to your house two or three
times in one day. A person who comes in
simply to talk and gossip, soon makes herself
an intolerable nuisance If her conversation
with you is chiefly on the affairs of others,
you can rest assured that your home is also
turned inside out for the inspection of other
curious eyes.
Never presume so much on your intimacy
with even your dearest friend as to intrude
yourself hnasked into her private room.-
\ Never NEEDLE with her private affairs unless
she sees fit to confde in you. Do not make
your visits too frequent or too familiar. A
wise and delicate courtesy is a much more
lasting bond Of union between two hearts
than a violent, excessive intimacy. Beware,
for your own peace, how you encourage one
of these impetuous friends, for rest assured
you will speedily tire of her. When you
have placed yourself well in her power, a
quarrel may come about, with most nlortify-
ing disclosures. The older you grow, the
more shy you will become of such friends
aud friendships.

Mr.. G. was in the habit Of asking his
children to repeat the text on their return
from church, to prove that they gave atten-
ton. Ono Sabbath the text was, " Why
stand We here all the day idle Go into nay
vineyard and work, and whatsoever is right
[ will pay thee" Charlie came home and
was asked to repeat the text. He hesitated a
moment, and then, as if it just came to him
after much thought, he said, "What are you

my barnyard and go to work, and I'll make
it all right with you"

All travelling to eternity,
But never gathered here

Who shall never see each other,
Nor ever meet below.

Who is forever noari
But thoy only feol His presence,
Aud never zee Him horoi
They have all one Elder Brother
Who saved them every one
But they shall not sec His beauty
Until their journeys done.
"They have all one home, far distant
On which their hopes are soti
But they do not know the glorios,
Nor even dream them yet
When within its blessed portals
This scattered household meet
How great will he the jubilee,
