Maternal Education.

The responsibility which is incurred
by every mother imperatively calls upon
her to seek the best means of making
her children good and rational beings.
This is not to he done by merely send
ing them to school for instruction.
Education must be continued at home,
or otherwise its most important results
are left to chance, and it mainly de-
ponds upon accident or circumstance
whether the child becomes vicious or
virtuous. All persons may not have
the power or the opportunity to direct
the infant mind with sufficient stesdiness
and judgment to produce certain effects.
It is much more within the ability of
mother to make her children good tenn
pered, and to endow them with cheerful,
contented dispositions; but even in this,
with the best intentions. she may
fail from want of understanding
the means. It is, however, in
the power Of all mothers-the learned
and the unlearned, the rich and
the poor-to have the most decided
influence on the moral character OF
their children, and to make virtuous
members of society. To this end chill
dren must be educated by example as
we'll as by precept. Let no parents
believe that they are discharging their
duty by admonishing their children to
do right, while they act at variance with
those principles they would inculcate.
Children are peculiarly quicksighted in
this respect, and detect the smallest
contradiction in act and word with sur
prising acuteness. That which We wish
our children to become, that we should
endeavor as much as possible to be our
selves. This is O maxim in paternal
management which would tend more
than any other course to ensure success.

DIsraeli and His Hat.

A correspondent describes the come
dietta, nightly enacted in the House of
Lords. of Lord Beaconsfeld and his
hat. When in the lower House Mr..
Disraeli was noted for the care which
he displayed in regard to that particular
article OF male adornment. Unlike his
great rival, he was never known to ap.
pear in shabby hat. Having taken
his seat on the treasury bench, he would
stoop down and gently deposit his title"
as far as possible under the seat, where
it would be safe from the risk of q chance
kick, and on taking it out from its rest
ing-place he would mechanically brush
it round with his coat sleeve prior to
putting it on his head. Now that the
Premier has been translated to more
digniied sphere, his hat is o perennial
source of trouble to him. He walks
down the House from the Princes
Chamber with his wonted jauntiness,
takes his seat on the front ministerial
bench, fixes his eye.glass. and stares
across the table to where the leader of
the opposition should be. put probably
is not, sitting. Then, in an apparent
fit of abstraction, he bends forward,
thrusts his hat between his legs, and
finds that it won't 60 below the seat.
Evidently astonished at the sudden
check to his usual procedure, he SOL
EMMY adjusts his eye-glass andpexam.
ines the red leather screen which has
caused it then smooths down the hat
with his coat sleeves and deposits it
under the table in front of him. As
the Lord Chancellor rises to put the
question "that this House do now ad.
journ," the comedy is repeated. Lord
Beaconsfield feels below him for his hat,
is manifestly surprised at not finding
it, awakes out of a brown study, and
picking up the missing article, walks
of with it in dignihed style. This
amusing scene is evidently due to long
force OF habit, and it is regularly looked
for and as regularly witnessed by the
usual frequenters of the House.-N. Y.

An American Tar.

Capt. Urquhart, of the ship Isaac
Webb. picked up CD his last voyage the
captain and crew OF sinking British

fact led to curious scene in Liver
