Health and Learning,

In an article entitled Learning and
Health" in the Gentleman's Magazine,
DR.. Benjamin W. Richardson earnestly
deprecates the too early forcing of chill
dren's minds. Health" !" he says, I" is
never at any period of life 50 tried as in
the first years. Then it is confirmed or
destroyed; made or unmade. For chill
dren under seven the whole teaching that
should be naturally conveyed should he
through play, if the body is to be trained
up healthy as the bearer of the mind,
and it is wonderful what an amount of
learning can by this meth9d be attained,
Letters of Languages can be taught; con-
versatien in different languages can be
carried on animal life can be classified ;
the surface of the earth can be made
clear; history can be told as story and
a number of other and most useful truths
can be instilled without ever forcing the
child to touch book or read formal
lesson. Under such a system the child
grows into knowledge, makes his own in
ventory OF the world that surrounds him
and the things that are upon it, and grow
ing up free to learn, learns well, and eats,
and sleeps, and plays well. In child
trained after this method not only is
health set forth, but happiness likewise
q most important item in this period OF
life"

No MAN can judge of the happiness of
another. AS the moon plays upon the
waves, and seems to eur eyes to favor
with peculiar beam one long track
amidst the waters, leaving the rest in
comparative security yet all the while
she is no niggard in her luster, for the
rays that meet not our eyes seem to us
as though they were not, yet she, with
an equal untavoring loveliness, mirrors
herself on every wave. Even 80, per-
haps, happiness falls with the same
brightness and power over the whole ex-
pense of life, though to our limited eyes
she seems only to rest on those pillows
from which the ray is reflected back
upon our sight.

Complaint with the contract cannot be con-
sidered breach of public faith. Our country
is large producer of silver. The quality OF
money is important to its value. I think
that when restored silver will approach and
perhaps reach gold in value, but should ex.
