The Educational Weekly thinks that the
American child both AZ home aud at school, is
perpetually stimulated by false motives. He
Is made to believe that he may yet become a
president. governor, or member of congress,
as though public position was the passport TO
honor and respectability alone lie IS virtually
taught, both by precept and example that he
may acquire great fortune, as though wealth
were the chief end OF human existence. lie is
frequently taunted with the query whether be
means TO be newer OF wood and drawer or
water. or whether he wishes to remain farmer
or mechanic for life, as though the labor OF the
hand and sweat of the brow we're tue sum o..
human evil, and the sign and seal Of human
degradation. The average American girl is
irreparably spoiled ere yet she scarcely reaches
her teens, by false and superficial ideas as to
the true aims of HE, by indisposition for
health giving labor, and by visionary notions
of her relations to the other sex and TO society.
The average American servant-girl has out
grown her business, and now assumes to
dictate terms to the helpless mistress OF the
household she condescends to serve. The
average American boy knows more than bis
father, is master OF his mother, disrespectful
to his superiors, and insolent to everybody.
These are the outcome OF wrong motives and
mistaken methods applied in the early stages
Of educational development.

The foundation must be well laid to ensure

The DEACON ANSWERED" Upir New Hanp
shire, where l lived when boy, says Govern
or Noyes, "there was an old deacon who was q
great deal more pious than honest. He was
an old hypocri;e, and when be had done any
particularly mean thing, he eased his con-
science by going out into field slongsde OF
which was stone wall and, lneellng beside il, +,
praying the Lord to topple it over on him II
he had done anything offensive to him or often
slve in his sight. Well, we boys found il out,
aud one day when we saw the deacon making
for the wall, we got on the other side and
waited. He knelt down, according TO hs usual
custom, and went through his usual formula,
closing with the petition 10 have the wall top
pie over If he had done anything wrong. We
toppled it. Jumping out from under the
stones, the old man cried in tones Of mingled
disgust and alarm, Good gracious Can't you
tell when man is joking ?'

The BENEFIT OF LAUaHINo.-Dr. Greene, in
bis Problem of Health" says there is not the
remotest corner or inlet OF the minute blood
vessels OF the human body that does not feel
some wavelet from the convulsion occasioned
by good hearty laughter The life principle, of
the inward man. is shaken to its innermost
depths, sending new tides OF life and strength
to the surface, thus materially tending to in
sure good health to the persons who moderate
ly indulge therein. The blood moves more
rapidly and conveys a different impression to
all the organs of the body as il visits them on
that particular mystic journey when the man
s laughing from what it does at other times.
For this reason every good hearty laugh in
which person INDUCES tends to lepgthen his
life, conveying, as 1t does, new and distinct
stimulus to the vital forces. Doubtless the
time will come when physicians, conceding
more Importance than they do now to the in
fluence OF the mind upon the vital forces OF
the body, will make their prescriptions more
with reference to the condition of the mind,
and less to drugs for the body and in 80 doing
will find the best and most effective methods
Of producing the required effect upon the
patient.

When things were OF another sort,
And parsons did not sinners court.

And told the sinners that in 1t
They'd roast, like partridge on a spit,
And never be quite done enough
Oh, / tell you, old hell was tough,
And terrified the unforgiven-
Ii fairly scared us up to heaven.
But now the parsons are more kind,
Call hell torment OF the mindl
And say il cannot be Gods will
That poor humanity should grill
Forever in lake Of flame.

And hold by burning wayward focks.

That sanity sinners head is level
