+ In an address to the Parents and the Public OF
Virginia, signed by Gen r. E. Lee. John D.
Minor and r. L. Dahney, in behalf of the Elu-
cational Association Of that State, we find the
following which we commend to the readers
perusai:


AN essential part of the education Of youth is
to teach them to serve themselves, and 10 impress
upon them the fact that nothing good can be
acquired in this world without labor; and that
the very necessares and comforts of life must te
procured hy earnest and regular eXertion. They
should also be taught 20 know that after having
been reare! and educat ted by their parents. they
SHOULD not expect them to provide further for them,
and that their future subsistence and advancement
must depend upon themselves. Parents some
times commit the mistake of allowing their chill
dren, after having reached the period of life when
they ought to be engaged in livelihood, to
rely upon them for support. This encourages
them for injurious idleness, and destroys their
spirit of sefdependence, which is necessary for
their advancement IN life, and causes them to ap-
pear so unreasonable as to depend upon them
after having arrived at an age when they should
think and act for themselves. .


"The choice of profession is not of so much
consequence the manner i'll which it is pursued.
If habits of self control and selfdenal have been
object las been accomplished Diligence and
integrity in any useful pursuit of life will he sure
to secure prosperity and fame, and success will
result from engaging in that business in which the
generality of mankind are Interested"

CAUTION.-The night before last gen.
t!eman carried a number Of letters to de-
post in the post-ofce. Al Of the doors
were closed. He, suppOsing new ar
rangement had been made by which after
a certain hour the southwestern door was
to be closed, as well as the other outer
doors, dropped his letters through the
aperture. This morning, to his surprise,
some of the letters were brought to him
open by person who found them near
Mayo's bridge. Doubtless some scamp
had shut that door, took a position in sight
Of it, and as soon as the letters were
dropped in and the person had left, he
opened it again and took the letters out.
The postmaster says that particular door
should not nor is it intended to be shut at
any time.

dancing as the most innocent, rational and

of dancing was as ungraceful as the instru-
