| have presented you with extremes.
1t is rare that such cases do occur; but IN
proportion to our neglect to each dlvis-
ion, or the failure ON our part to keep up
an equilibrium, will we approach these
extremes. Having limited at the import
ance of educating the whole being, and
alluded to some of the evils attendant up
on the failure to keep up the equilibrium,
by training the whole capacity, it is appa-
rent that education means the careful
training of the whole being in his COM
pound nature; and when thus developed
is one of God noblest creatures on earth.
In this capacity everything is contempla-
ted for the ultimate good of mankind, and
to that end, and to subserve their inter
est, you not only find him mastering the
elements, but adapting the destructive
agencies in nature to mans benefit
Who is there that would refuse to ap-
ply themselves constantly to the develop
ment of all their powers! Who is there
that does not desire that moral develop
ment which would enable him or her >to
grasp in all the requirements of that ma
ture, and be fully cognizant of our rela-
ton to each other and to our God. Who
does not desire the mind of a Newton that
he may at one glance grasp in the whole
of natures laws; OF the physical develop
ment of Washington, that whenever the
mind is willing to discharge the duties OF
life the body is able to perform. When
this is done you have found the Philoso-
piers stone You are then prepared tc
perform life's duties, with promise of 8
name written higher, and in the end ever
lasting happiness.
You can then say:
Ny life on earthshas not been spent la vain
Tho it has cost me labor and much pain
Cold in the dust this perished heart mus
| lie;
But that which warmed 1t once can never
/ die.
lThe above was prepared and read be
| fore the Stark County Teachers institute
Nov %, 1866. Having, as yet, no reason
to change our views, and this being thu
season when the mind is naturally turned
to educational matters, re reproduce i
for what it is worth.

A great many men would be real forces

GY JOHN u. WHITTIER

Men said at vespers; All is well
In one wild night the city fell
Fell shrines of prayer and marts of gain
Before the fiery hurricane.
On threescore spires had sunset shone,
Where shasIly sunrise looked on none;
Men elasped each Others hands and said !;
The city of the West is dead.
Brave hearts who fought. in slow retreat,
The tiends of fire from street to street,
Turned, powcrless, to the binding glare,
| The dumb defiance of despair.
A sudden impulse thrilled each wire
That signaled round ahat sea of fire.; =
Swift words of cheer. warm heart throbs
came;
In tears of pity died the flame!
From East, from West, from South and
North,
The messages of hope shot forth,
And, underneath the seveting wave,
The world, fall handed, reached to save.
Fair seemed the old but fairer still
The new the dreary sllall'tll
With deafer homes than those o 'erlhrown
For love shall lay each corner stone
Rise, stricken city-from thee throw
The ashen sackclath of thy woe;
And build, as Ihe5eato Amphion's strain
To songs of cheer thy walls again.
I, How shriveled in thy hot distress
The primal sin of seliishness.
How instant rose, to take thy part,
The angel in the human heart.
All not in vain the flames that tossed
Above the dreadful holocaust;
Christ again has p.eaclel thtolgh thee
The Gospel of humanity!
Then lift once more thy towers on high
And fret with spires that western sky,
To tell that God is yet with us,
And love is still miraculous,

and cheese. At noon his dinner consist
ed of fresh pork, pickles, mince pie, and
the usual accompaniments. His safternoon
lunch was like that of the forenoon.
When he came home to his supper, his
tavorite dish had not been prepared as
part of that meal
The old man fretted and scolded till
fresh pork was added to the substantials,
He ate voraciously, as usual In the
evening he toasted some cheese, butteref
and ate it. Just before going to bed he
roasted couple of apples and ate them.
In the night he was taken with severe
collie; the doctor was with him till morn

a girl with cheeks like holly hooks,
Industrious, kind and true.
That smart enough to foot my socks
And mend my clothes like new.
A girl that never pledged vow,
To any chap but me
That's smart enough to milk COW,
And have warm cakes for tea.
Like taslow dips, her eyes must be,
AS melting and as bright.
(They'll do to spark her by, you see,
And save another light)
She must be graceful as the bell
Upon the lily found.
And make such batter as will sell
For thirty cents pound.
If she, I've spoke for, should appear,
In answer to these rhymes,
She'll find partner, most sincere,
And one that has the dimes.

The ory OF Education
BY JOHN S. BENDER.

If you mean by that term only to be
