TRUE EDUoATIoN.-What then is
the real object of education? 1t is
the formation Of personal character
according to the highest standard
of moral and intellectual greatness,
Of religious purity, of practical use
fulness to society, and of patriotic
devotion to country. 1t is to make
man wiser and better-patient,
laborious, and enduring-trained
and willing to work with hand and
head in any station to which God,
society, or necessity may call; able
to bear with eqUanimIty prosperity
and adversity; ready TO undergo
everything and to give up all, prop
erty and life, in defense of the right,
of the truth, of ones country. 1t
is to cultivate and bring out into
daily practice his nobler attributes
and aspirations, not neglecting the
practical and utilitarian, but devel-
oping each and all so that he may
daily approximate to that Being in
whose "image" he was created

The second Intelligent animal
story of the Boston Traveller is
this: The hosting horses, who
raise the bales to the lofts in our
wood-houses, became remarkably
intelligent in their business, so
much so that they work by them
selves without direction. When
the hook is fastened on a bale, the
horse, with head turned aside, no
ticcs it, and starts off briskly, per-
haps from the knowledge that he
escapes a crack from the whip
The other morning one of the
workmen had on an army overcoat,
and by some upaccountable acci-
dent the hook got caught in the
belt of said overcoat. The horse
feeling the weight, started oil, and
up went the workman like 4 rock
ct. He was taken in, badly frigh-
tened and rs pale as a ghost at the
third-story window
