PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
From The unnn-In

From the Home Journal.
Hon. Nathaniel Sands, whose essays on educa-
ton are among the most valuable emanating
from American thinkers, and emb0dy the results
Of ripe experience in combination with the acu-
men Of the philosophical Investigator, has some
paragraphs in recent essay on practical educa-
ton, which will bear transfer from their setting
Education Of some Sort remarks this Nestor
Of the question, is inevitable to every one. The
street Arab, the beggar, the rag-picker, are edu-
Gated every day by their surroundings, and in all
the grades Of low life effective aud very practical
education of its own takes place,and accomplishes
for its subject all they desire or need to fit them
for their miserable strife with want and crafty
their low and corrupted tastes. It's obvious, of
course, that p1atical education implies an educa-
ton suited to the elevated and wide sphere of
thought and action which men ought to and may
occupy and adorn in the exercise of faculties
properly quickened developed, and directed.
Practical education is that kind Of culture which
quickens the latent powers of the soul, gives
mightto the inner man, and enables him to take
hold of life with energy, and successfully and
cheerfuly discharge LIES duties and bear its bur
dens, as they may be appointed him. Practical

nature and the entire world, showing that each
man is a responsible member of the great common
wealth of humanity, related to every other being
and held to his orbit Of duty by laws as immuable
as those which control the material world. Prac-
teal education teaches that none hath sorrows.
none hath wounds, none hath woes without cause,
and the greatest evils are those created for our
selves through ignorance Or contempt of natural
laws. knowledge of ourselves, the careful anaIy-

these motives are important fruits Of true practi-

adapt wise means to worthy ends 1t teaches the
perfect reign Of law throughout the do main of ma
ture, and that all are subjects of that law. and
there is escape from its perfect operation Prac
teal education is largely concerned, therefore, in
seeking earnestly to know the natural law, the
great principles which underlie and control all
things, and then gradually and patiently deal with
the application of these laws in the details of our
earthly experience, remembering that success in
life comes not from making laws for ourselves. nor
from over riding natures ordinances, but from
obedience and conformity to them. Practical ed

NEATNESS.


From Halls Journal of Health,
In it's essence, and purely for its own sake neat
ness is found in few. Manv a is neat for ap-
pearanca' sake; there is an instructive feeling
that there is power in it. When a man consults
physician a lawyer for the first time, or comes
to rent house or borrow money, he will come in
his best dress a lady will call in her carriage
A man who means business and honesty comes as
he is just as you will find him in his store, his
shop. his counting house. The most accomplish
ed gamblers dress well the most enterprising
sW1nGlers are faultlessly clothed, but countless
multitudes are but white-washed sepulchres. Too
many don't care, as long as it will not be seen. >
Washington Allison, the great artist, the accom-
plished gentleman. suddenly left his friend stand

very knowledge of It's existence ma de him feel
that he was less man than he ought to be; gave
him feeling of inferiority.
As persons are less careless of personal cleanli-

THE COMPROMISES OF cARELEssNEss.

From the N. Y. Post.
The aggregate carelessness of the American peo-
pie is strikirgly shown by statistical statement
in the o stat Record Of the number Of letters sent
to the Dead Letter Office during single year If
appears that during last year nearly three millions
of letters were received at that Office, Of which
sixty eight thousand could not be forwarded. for
the reason that the name OF the county and state
were left out of the direction four hundred thous-
and were unstamped, and more than three thous-
and were mailed with no directions at all.
Some of the unstamped letters may have lost their
miniature portraits ofAmerican statesmen through
the non-adhesiveness of Uncle samuel's mucilage,
but how thr ee thousand persons could mail simply
blank envelopes passes our comprehension 1t
must be that they were bound to write a letter to
some disagreeable acquaintance, to fulfill the let
ter Of the law correspondence. and thus deliver
themselves from the burden of owing a letter.
without the corresponding obligation of receiving
an answer,or else the American people are
wonderfully careless.
The strangest part OF this statement is thai there
were foundin these letters money orders to the
amount of two millions of dollars. That tired
lover or a cold friend should write tender epis-
tie and trust it to the hands of postofice CLERK
in an envelope innocent of even a single line of
direction, is perhaps possible; but that old John
Cashdown should send off letters to his business
correspondence in the same fashion is hard to be
believed Either the figures of the Postof1ce De-
partment need to be corrected or the habits of
American business men ought to be changed Ii
