The Model Rnarder.

He is quite a gentleman. A smile
permanently settles on his clean face.
He wipes his boots on the mat before he
goes upstairs. He pays high rent, and
has but few friends. He leaves his
drawers open. He has cellar of coal
at time. He takes newspaper, and
is not in hurry for it in the morning.
He is never ont later than ten. He
shaves with cold water. He never adds
up bill. He is fond of children. He
likes to buy them sweetmeats. and to
take child occasionally to the theatre.
He never dimes at home except on SUM-
days. and that rarely. The landlady
orders his dinner; it is generally very
large joint, with plenty of vegetables, a
very large pie, and a very large piece of
cheese. He never inquiries for the joint,
or the pie, or anything the next day. He
lends his books cheerfully. He is in
doubt about the exact number of his
shirts. He rarely rings the bell. He
pays for extras without murmur.
Rather likes music. Does not object to
piano and flute playing different
tunes at the same time. He is never in
arrears with his board; if it is not paid
the very day it becomes due, the reason
is because he has paid it the day before.

and contented. CaSselrs Journal.

The Study of Relations.

Mrs jacob repeatedly affirms ''pre-
scientific stage of mental development;
and her whole case depends upon the
validity of this position, and what she
means by it. She indicates her idea of
what it is by saying: Scientific observa-
ton is observation of the relation be-
tween things; but before any attempt
be made to study these relations the
things themselves should be firmly and
clearly apprehended. But it has been
shown that this is not possible. Neither
children nor anybody else can appre-
bend things apart from their relation;
they know them either vaguely or clear
ly, partially or fully. only by perceiving
their relations. Mrs. Jacobs distin-
gushing mark of the ''pre-scientific
stage thus disappears, and all the
reasoning by which she would put off
the study of plants in their relations, or
with n view to classification to late
period of study, falls to the ground.
She says, 1.-The comparison of multi
tude of objects in order to abstract their
common character, and thus obtain the
generic or class conception, is suited to
the scientific, but not to the pre-scien-
1hC ctHtSSC VI DlDSttsS. luc only
meaning that can be given to this state
ment is that there are stages of classif-
cation too complex for children at the
outset of study; but it is grave error to
suppose that the properly guided pupil
is to come suddenly upon the formidable
work of classification as new task.
The child has been chasing things from
its birth, and in its earliest observa-
tions upon the SIMPLEST parts of plants
1t enters upon an easy stage of classifi-
cation, and it is through these exercises
that the higher work is gradually reach
ed. The process is continuous. The
child from the first has been comparing
objects and abstracting their common
characters 1t matters nothing that at
first this action is automatic; it leads to
conscious chasing and is of the same
nature with it, Progress in the forma-
ton of such general ideas as chair. cat,
dog, may be clearly seen by the intelli-
gent observer to consist in the compar-
ison of the members of all such groups

A Virginia Lady OF the OIden Time.

But what is the Virginia lady doing
all this time? 1t is not hard to see,
when one thinks of the great house, the
many servants, the hospitality shown to
strangers, and the absence of towns.
She is housekeeping body. She has
to provide for her household, and as she
can not go shopping to town, she must
keep abundant store of everything she
needs. Often she must teach her chill
dren, for very likely there is no school
near, to which she can send them She
must oversee and train her servants,
and set one to spinning, and another to
sewing; but she does not find it so easy
to have nice work done; her black slaves
are seldom skilled, and she has to send
to England for her finer garments.
There is no doctor near at hand, and
she must try her hand at prescribing for
the sick on the plantation, and must
nurse white and black. In truth, the
the Virginia lady saves the Old Domin-
ion.-St Nicholas.
