In this Seminary we have been led TO adopt
class devoting their whole time and energies to
single study, until completed. We have been
led 10 this by seeing so many students
required TO carry forward three or four studies
af the same time. Then each Professor was re-.
quired Ia hear 80 many recltations and the time
was 50 broken up tIlat II was out of the question
TO give each subject and each pupil the required
attention. In Introducing this method, we ex-'
pected TO he able 10 make our classes much more
thorough and practical, but not only are we
succeeding beyond our expectations IN this par
ticniar, but we are accomplishing a great deal
more in the same time, as well as doing 1t much
better. In graduating, one-third of the time
and expense is saved, matter of great consider
the Common Branches, students complete the
Scientific Course in two, instead of three years,
as heretofore required; devoting three months
istry, and one month each TO an the other stud
les. Our course is frll and practical, and the
Is more with II than Is usually done. We ex-
plain this on the principle, that men show the
greatest results in given time, when they de-
been claimed that students devoting their whole
time to one study would become weary, but We
fnd instead OF this being true. that the student
having an opportunity to concentrate his whole
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as a
result Of his success, an enthusiasm Is awaken
comes a genuine Philosopher In search of truth.
New Studies are commenced monthly, at which
time students can enter and remain as long as
desired. Glasses for Fall and early Winter win
be formed September 18th, October 18th, and
November 9Th. A class will commence Algebra,
November 9th and go regularly through with
Mathematics. By our plan we propose TO make
this more thorough class than any ever con-
Quoted on the old system. Those wishing to
Tb o Music gna Panne are
now offering the very best advantages.
The Ladies' Ornamental Course is short, but the
most practical and useful. All is left out that
will not be praeticed In woman's appropriate
sphere. And they are made SO thorough, and
such a love of science is induced that they will
carry il into and adorn every department oflife;
and not as Is too frequently DONE lay 1t all aside
as soon as they graduate. i--H aH aEiHl

and heat Of the day; will arise, take
of my shocks, and place with his with
out his knowledge" The younger
brother being aetuated by the same be-
neyolent motives, said within himself
% Ny elder brother has family, and
have none; viii arise, take of my
shocks, and place with his without his
knowledge" Judge their astonishment,
when, on the following morning, they
found their respective shocks undimin-
ished. This course of events transpired
for several nights when each resolved
in his own mind to stand guard and
solve the mystery They did 50; when
on the following night, they met each
other half way between their respective
shocks with their arms full. Upon
ground hallowed, by such associations as
this, was the temple of Solomon erected
so spacious and magnificent, the Won
der and admiration OF the world. Alas.
in these days, how many would sooner
steal their brothers whole shock than
add 10 it single sheaf!
: FRESH FRUIT AND FLowERs.--Fruit
and flowers mag be preserved from de-
cay and fading by immersing them in
solution of gnm-arabic in water two or
three times, waiting a sufficient time
between each immersion to allow the
gum to dry. This process covers the
surface of the fruit with a thin coating
of the gum. which is entirely imperyi.
GUS to thesair. and thus prevents the
decay of the fruit or whitening of the
flower. To insure success in experiments
of this kind, it should be borne in mind
that the whole surface must be complete
ly covered; for, if the air only gains
entrance at a pinhole, the labor will all
be lost. In preserving specimens of fruit,
particular care should be taken to cover
stem, end, and all with the gum. Al
good way is TO wind thread of silk about
the stem, and then sink it slowly into
the solution, which should not be so
strong as to leave particle OF the gum
The gum is SO perfectly
transparent that you can with difficulty
detect its presence, except by the touch.
Here we have another simple method of
fixing the fieeting beauty of Nature, and
ourselves ever with those
objects which do most to elevate the
mind, refine the taste, and purify the
heart ~ 4a1;1

A MIssOURIAN informed a traveller
who inquired about his corn that each
stalk had nine ears on it and was fifteen
feet high. "That nothing to ourcorn, +"
replied the traveller. up in Illinois,
where L came from, we always had nine
ears to each stalk, and peck of shelled
corn hanging to each tassel; but We
could never raise field beans with it,
" Why?' =" Because the corn grew SO
fast that it always pulled the beans up"

The Pantheon Of India.

In an article on the India Museum, the
London AUengGno has the following:--
1t is generally assumed that the classical
Pantheon of India exceeds in magnitude that
of ancient Greco and Rome. If by Pantheon
we understand the religious personifcation
of natural or divine powers as conceived
the poets, there is no doubt that the Hindoo
mind has produced more divine beings than
the poetry of any other nation of antiquity.
But if we connect with the idea of aPantheon
those creations only which become objects of
actual faith and worship, one consequently of
artistical representation, the dimensions of
the Pantheon of classical India are, in reality,
inferior to those of the Pantheon of our
classical antiquity. The oldest belief of the
Hindoos as based on the Vedas belongs to
byeone times, which are far removed from
the domain of history.
Artistic representations of the gods of that
period there have probably never been-cer-
tain it is, at least, that there are none on
record now, and that all the sculptures, carv-
ings and images symbolizing the objects of
Hindoo worship refer to that period of the
national life which is pictured in the two
great epic poems, the Mahabharata and Ra-
havana and in those medieval works which
are the basis of actual Hindooism, the Pura-
mas and Tantras. Sculptures and idols OF
this category are confined especially to two
legendary centres-to the mythical history OF
Vishnu with his consort Lakshmi, and to that
of silva with his wife Durga. For, as to Brah-
man, the first god Of the Hindoo triad, he
proved less attractive to imagination than his
