We'll may Wung Chin Foo make pilgrim age hither from China to instruct us in fiIal piety. Professor Frank l.. Curtiss of Sym- cuse, N. Y, was married last week, and being ashamed to have his parents present. as they are not wealthy, Curtis purposely failed to send a hack for them as he said he would The son-in-law with whom they were staying sus- pected the trick and, confronting the ingratc before his bride and wedding guests, disclosed his meanness in an exciting scene, and rccited other instances of ungrateful conduct toward the father and mother who had denied thcm- selves to educate him. There wouldn't seem to be much cause for congratulating tho bride at that wedding.

MoTHERs.-Napoleon, after having
observed TO MAZDA me Chopin that the
old system of childre MS education was
bad. inquired what she considered
wanting to make i. good. Mothers,
was the reply. AS women are the first.
and perhaps the most influential teach
ers. We must have good mothers if We
would secure good reachers. With
them reats the tuition of the heart, SO
much more impoptant than that of the
head. Something precedes intelligence;
and 1t has been we'll observed, by the
authoress of u deservedly popular
work, that the earliest smile, which
responded 20 the maternal caress,
is the first lesson in the affections.
Mothers were meant by nature to in
spire virtue, even when they do not
directly seek to teach it. and sthey will
rarely go wrong when they fCllow their
parental impulses.
