The Rest Laws.

Scion, when asked ifhc had given the
Athenians the BEST LAWS. replied, ayes,
the best the Ahenians could hace receic-
ed" The best regulations for one school
may be the worst for another. The gentle
modes by which Miss Mild controls her
thirty docile boys and girls, culled from
the sweetesthomes of an Ohio village. are
not effective when applied to a mission
school of young Indians in the shadow of
the Rocky Mountains. Rules, incentives,
restraints, rewards, punishment, are to be
selected or invented, like a mechanics
tools, with reference to the particular use
to I've made of them. The carpenter EN-.
ploys an K and cross-cut saw on the
rough log; a smoothing-plane and fine
chi.els on the shapen board and finer in
struments still as his work approaches
completion. Each kind # materials is
wrought by q suitable instrument. A
pine stick yields to the edge ola penknlfe /;
but a bar of iron must be heated and
hammered into shape. Neither knife.
FIRE. nor hammer meets the sculptor's
need.
The teacher must adapt his methods to
existing conditions, remembering always
that conditions are subject to perpetual
change. In no work is there greater va
riety of processes than in teaching, and nc
work calls for more ingenuity and YER
satility. The arts of government and dis
cipline are exceedingly dependent upon
circumstaces. 1t is neither q~uickness nor
slowness of action on the teachers part
neither severity nor leniency: love nor
anger: physical power, nor spiritual. that
in itself secures success, but any or all of
these according to the necessity Of the
case.

Education.

Whatever may be your habits of in
dustry, whatever may be your desire to
obtain property whatever you may do to
render yourself opulent, and your circum-
stances easy and independent, unless some
portion of your time is appropriated to
the acquisition of knowledge, your castle
of happiness must fall to the ground.
Even the desire of obtaining it discovers
a liberal mind, as it is Connected with
many accomplishments and virtues.
Though your train of life should not lead
you to study. yet the cause of education
always promotes proper employment to a
well-disposed mind.
Virtue itself is only fostered BY an i'm
provement Of the sensibilities, and in the
absence of this incffable trait all the riches
of this world are incompetent to render
any one happy. Therefore, considering
these circumstances, would it not be well
TO incorporate in your system of business
the appropriation of a small part of your
time to the useful improvement Of the
mind? Would you not thereby be en-
abled to duly appreciate the sources of
happiness which IA benefcent Creator has
conferred?
The object and end of our existence
is happiness, and it cannot be accelerated
unless we call to our aid the assistance of
education. Application and study will
progress and further our state of earthly
happiness; knowledge adds greatly to our
temporal enjoyment. and systematizes the
effects and influence of contentment and
happiness upon our natural minds. Ed
u~cation constitutes every thing, and
through it we realize every mental enjoy
ment. Without education our situation
would be placed on a level with that of
the brute.

We have no doubt that many soft words

a peculiar look of delightful sensation
playing on many bright and charming
faces. There were many other betraying
tokens of sweet content and charmed sit

takened. We don't blame our young men
for their homage for the destinations of

SCHOOLS AND THE PULPIT.

In reading the life of Martin Luther.
We lind that much of his success lay in his
effort to educate the people. He laid
great stress On the education of the chill
dren. The Reformation that followed the
preaching and teaching of Martin Luther
opened the way for free schools. Ger
many to-day is reaping the fruit of
The pulpit, at one time, the great ad-
vocate of common schools, is almost silent
on this subject. Occasionally we hear a
sermon for the young people, but the min
istry seems to forget our educational in
terest. Owing to the great burdens im-
posed upon the minister he often appa-
rantly. loses sight of the education of the
people. The preacher has more influence
in the community and better opportunities
for doing good than any other individual.
A friendly visit to the village school or
a word Of Encouragement will do him good
and do the cause he espouses good. The
Gospel has strong ally in education,-
stronger than many suppose.
But few young people attend preaching
in our chuches. There is some cause for
this. Whatever the cause may be, it
ought to be removed, for the young are
the very ones that the preaching will
benefit. The older persons are not so
impossible as the young. Preaching
to old people does but little good compar-
The habits of such persons once
are seldom changed.
If the mi mister does not interest him
self in the children. they are not likely to
be interested in him or the cause that he
advocates. Children love to hear men
talk, but the sermon is so arranged, gen.
orally speaking, that the children can feel
no interest in it, and they are not con
to hear it. we should like TO see
IN improvement in these particulars, for
many children are growing up in the
midst of the gospel without its blessings.
It may be the manner in which it is pre-
'ented drives them away from the public
services.

More Stealing.

Last Saturday night, some persons, not
having the fear of the law in prospect,
cracked the corn crib of Mr.. Hoss. Some
three or four bushels Of corn were carried
off. 1t was a bold theft, the corn being
shucked by the thief or thieves through
the cracks and the husks left in the crib.
An effort should be made to detect the
thieves that are now operating IN orr
community. we hear of robberies in all
parts of the county, and if something is
not done to apprefend the rascals. IN a
short time we will be ovcr-run by these
lawless char acters. Honest people shouiu
he constantly on the alert, and keep n
yipilant watch OH the movements of sus-
picious individuals. A Vigilance Com

idea. An energetic police would strike

drive them into honest employment.
