Head, Heart and Hand.

Every boy should have his head, his
heart aud his hand educated, Let this
truth never be forgotten.
BY the proper education of the head
he will be taught what is good and
what is evil, what is wise and what IS
foolish, what is right and what is
wrong.
BY the proper education of the heart,
he will be taught to love what is good
wise and right, and 10 hate what is
evil, foolish and wrong.
By The proper education of the hand.
he will be able to supply his wants, 10
add TO his comforts. and to assist
others.
The highest object of Ia good educa.
tion are, to reverence and obey God,
and to love and serve mankind. Every
thing that helps us in attaining these
objects is OF great valCe and every
thing that hinders US is comparatively
worthless. When wisdom reigns in
the head, and love in the heart, the
man is ever ready to do good and if
his executive ability is equal to his en-
lightened sentiments, order and peace
rsign, and failure and suffering are al.
most unknown.

breed of hound, and can puzzle out a
cold scent under the most adverse con.
ditions. He is remarkable for adhear-
lag to the scent on which he is laid.
Some years since a pack of staghounds
was kept in Derbyshire, and it was no
infrequent occurrence for the hunted
deer to take refuge among a herd in
some park. In this case the pack was
whipped off and couple of bloodhounds
laid on. who stuck 10 the hunted deer
until they got him clear of the herd,
when the pack was again laid on.
The bloodhound is easily entered to
hunt anything, and with a strong scent

his launches for a few seconds and
throw tongue In sheer delight. Tie
