A CMLD's TRAINING. -Iuone word,
there is nothing but competent instruc.
tion in early life which will give every
chill tho opportunity Of making the
most of himself. Therefore, lot the
inquisitive mind Of a child bo properly
instructed and established in physical,
intellectual and moral truth; let him
thus understand himself, what he is,
why ho is here, where he is going. and
it is not in human nature to deny that
that youth will be botter able to begin
lifs's duties, to meet its trials, to enjoy
it's sweets, and to .bear its ills, than
children who are denied these natural
and friendly helps.

night, close on the stroke of twelve, the
guard beheld with terror the noiseless
approach of form arrayed in white
Awed to silence by the apparition, the
guard watched its motions with breath
less attention. Entering the yard, it
proceeded at once to the scaffold aud
mounted it. In few moments the
staring guard beheld the figure suddenly
sink through the platform to the shoul-
ders, where, after some convnlsive
motions, it remained stationary. To
that guard it was the ghost Of Randall,
and he fell fainting with alarm. In his
fall his musxet was discharged, aud this

scene, it was speedily discovered that
