Il LITTLE DEAF.
Your faithful

In the olden time, before Maine laws
were invented, Wing kept the hotel az
Middle Granville, and from his well stock
cd bar furnished accommodations for man
and beast. He was good landlord, but
terribly deaf Fish, the village painter,
was afflicted the same way.
One day they were sitting by themselves
in the bar room. Wing was behind the
counter, waiting for the next customer,
while Fish was lounging before the fire,
with a thirsty look, casting sleeps eyes
occasionally at Wings decanters. and
wishing devoutly that some one would come
in and treat.
A traveller from the South, on his way
to Brandon, stepped in to inquire the dis
tance Going up to old Wings bar, he
said
"Can you tell me, sir, how far it is to
Brandon ?"
Brandy" says the ready landlord
jumping up 'Ics, sir, 1 have some," at
the same time handing down decanter OF
the liquid.
"You misunderstood me, says the stran-
ger, II asked you how far it was to Bran
don"
"They call it pretty good brandy" says
Wing "Will you take some sugar with
it" reaching out as he spoke, for the bowl
and toddy stick.
The despairing traveller, hoping for
proper answer, now turned to Fish.
e!The landlord" said he, "secms to be
deaf; will you tell me how far it is tc
Brandon ?"
Thank you," said Fish, 81 don't care il
| I do take drink with you"

by which the mind is enabled to seize
upon and comprehend, In some measure
intelligently, what, without this aid, would
pass off from it in mere chime of words
To this principle we may refer the
whole system of trope and metaphor, and
comparison in human language 1t is a
principle in the human mind which God
has seized upon in his communications to
man. Hence, all that system of type and
symbol, of allegory and parable, with
which both the Old and the New Testa-
ment abound. We have an example of it
in the sacraments of circumcision and the
Passover, of the old dispensation, and of
baptism and the Lords Supper, of the new.
We have examples of it in the various ex-
ternal and symbolic representation through
which, as a vehicle, the events predicted
in ancient prophecy were conveyed. We
have it especially exempiiied in al that
vast and splendid system Of rites and Ger
emonies given to the Jews for their direc
tory in worship-the services and sacrifices
of the tabernacle and temple-the lark,
the altar, and the priest"
We have the same exempli6ed III the
mode Of our Savior's teaching. lie scarce
ly ever taught by abstract principle, but
almost always by example, by parable, CT
by illustration Does He wish to teach
the effect of divine truth upon different
minds He presents the abstract truth in
sensible form, in living, moving reality.
Hear Him: GA sower went forth TO sow,
and some fell by the wayside, and some on
stony ground, and some among thorns,
and some on good ground &c Does He
wish to show the mixture OF evil and good
in the world, or of hypocrites with real
Christians in the church; can enemy
came and sowed tares" Does He wish
to teach the union Of himself and his men,
bers; Il am the vine and ye are the
branches"
On a certain occasion, being asked by
one what he must do to inherit eternal
life, after enjoining on him the observance
OF the commandments, He does not go on
to teach him in abstract form that he must
have that disposition of Iove to God and
love to man-that feeling of perfect devo-
tedness of heart, and purpose, and life
and all to the glory of God and the good
of His intelligent creatures, which alon(

and pursuits of ordinary life Every man
among us must be more or less a working
man, and therefore he ought to be practi
cally educated. We have in this country.
no enormous entailed estates. no wealthy
ecclesiastical establishments, nor those
many slnecures which in other countries
raise large classes above the business of
the world. Nearly all our citizens are
dependent for subsistence upon their own
eXertions, and even the few who are ex-
empt from this necessity must yet be so
situated as to make some practical knowl-
edge Indispensable to them. The most
cpulent among us cannot throw off all care
Of their possessions, and the most secluded
must occasionally come forth into business
intercourse with the world. Hence We
are acorking people. Foreigners have
noticed this character of our nation. 1t
impresses upon us thoughtful, serious as
pect, and diffuses bustling activity
throughout the whole length and breadth
of our land.
Now where every one must have some
thing to do, is not practical education
universally necessary? Let as many as have
ability and opportunity become thoroughly
learned, (this class has never been too nu-
merous in any country, and certainly among
us there is little danger of such excess J
let none, however, be without that knowl-
edge which fits for the business of life.
But has not this practical part of educa-
tion been at times sadly neglected-at least
overlooked Have not our colleges in too
many instances, sent forth graduates utter
ly unqualified for any useful office in life ?
We have known some Of them, after an
examination as to their qualifications for
teaching in our common schools, to be re-
fused certificates However well stored
their minds may have been with Mathe,
matics, Latin and Greek, they knew too
little Of Geography, English Grammar and
Arithmetic, to be intrusted with the charge
of instructing our future citizens. 1t is
to such instances that the most plausible
objections have been furnished to, and
used by, the enemies of classical learning,
and the frequent occurrence of them can
not fail to impair popular confidence in
our colleges, and greatly retard the ad-
vance Of sound education.
But again, The acork Of instruction
should also be practical.
| God has SO constituted US, composed as
we are of both corporeal and spiritual
nature, that ideas which come to Us thro
the avenue Of the external senses Away:
impinge more forcibly upon our minds
and are comprehended more readily and
clearly than those which are the subjects
OF pure intellection. And on the same
general principle, abstract truth is always
more easily and efectually communicated
by means of sensible representation, OF
practical example or illustration. There
is kind of naturalization of the princi-
pie or idea-a bodying of it forth to the
minds eye in vivid and living reality-a
giving to what otherwise would be, il
many cases, an
