A WORD TO PARENTs.- lin judging. Of the
abilities Of their sons, it il OF great eonse-
.quence that parents do not confound the
aualif ieetiens Of = good memory with talent.
We have known many boys who were rack
oned exceedingly clever, simply from their
being able to yet any kind OF a lesson quick
" by neart which was complete fallacy.
Memory msy go along with genius, but It
has no bsolute connection with it.; as q
proof which il may be remarked that the
boys who stand highest at school are FREE
quently left far behind in the struggle Of life,
by boys who stood for. years At the foot Of
their class. II we werez to inquire into the
biographies of.distinguished Individuals. we
should discover that comparatively few of
them had been good scholars that is, had
memories to repeat the lessons by rote.
