And I am oN.citl!y grtifi.d on being able to do o, baoMMfl I fe! that the auljemt is annuf lut, vital importance to the. wellare, eternal s well as temporal, of our detMf bojl sn.l girls.

The littlo child who has scarcely more than !ti ned to lino bis evenine mm at m 1 J i. mother's kn-Pi M l8 0fn his in q ng eyes to tho motley scenes which s ..uod him on every h.tnd, discovers that his inward cousc'.ousuess does not contain a perennial source oi knowl eflege. ; f..B M vague Umgin:; to gt be. yond the narrow OOttilMHI of fho nrdee wail, to find ,ut, it may be, somethif.j; Of the Stfaage n'w world which lies outside. This new fotfuo laggiag el bis little heart etriagSi is beyond bis comprehension, and, indeed, he s little dresras of its presence, that he never seeks to MfcofjM it, or learn whence it com-s ; ftl none the less eagerly does be respond to its mighty iLdnencu ; for it ic implanted ao com- pletetj into his very existence, by the: omniscient Cieator, that, if it be not satiafie.l, be becomes, oi a truth, like unhappy Byron's Man!r-d "Half dust ha.f l.:iiy, el ike ualit to sink or soar." It the voice of inspiration, from the Greet I Am, saying, "Little child.come up higher." And all unwillingly he be?! tho summon. Tho first step that he takes, is to learn to lisp the di en. We all long to see onr own dear offspring grow up into e pure, upright, lovable msnhond and womanhood. We know, that in at curdsncn with patit ex prrienca and observation, that s ie of the boys and girls round about 1. will go astray, and iu tho fierce conili 1 of good sod evil may fall by the wayside, wounded, e en unto death. But even ss we suffer s psng of regret, momen tarily, we thrust sside the distasteful thought with the complacent reflection, that the lir.tels rf our door posts are so faithfully sprinkled aith the saoritioial blood, that the angel of a moral death, shall pu eur firat born be, unharmed. And, in this baseless, unreasoning, fsn ciod security, too many sre tempted by sordid, or mistaken views of financial eo onr.my, to believe Ihat absolutn sci ence, , .-ailed, is the only projer theme for the school room. That when s ru dimentsry knowledge of BMtbeOMtioe, natural philoanphv, history, and lan guage is acquired, th'i educe ion is thue complete. Men wiih u painfully mis taken view t the. resorts of their logic exclaim with is air rf indubitable wis dote : "I n)t ftoeoto the pablle foods to ieetritetloo in' ant thing that ia not m' nloterf ensential to the pfeporetion f son and deogbtef for the atern, battle fur daily bresd, and when b is scc HiipIished. set them J, though their ship DO un- a 1 short handed, ami their se to the magnetic pole, yet ossible chance, that favorable ndly currents, and bard, prac tical aei.se may 1 1 ing them safely total the desired port at last, iia to the homes of such as these, and upon shelf and tsble, you will seek Jo vain, for mental food for the boys and gif la.

When did she fall, sod how ? In ninety nine esses out of every hundred, the truthful answer is by reading im pure literature, fnrn which the de scent to hell is essy snd rapid, All this is going on about us, every day. Kvery day the boys and girls are eing dragged down into the awful abyss of degradation and erirne, in just this rasnner. "Not in Albany ?" l)o you say I Yes, right iu Albany.

Ihat tlie hand may be taulit to speak with silent force, and that tbe "v a may usurp the f 'inclines of the oar, end drink in these silent sentences. Ho discovers that though io Hjmi msjr fal ter, snd the tongue msy stsmmer, yet ths (Jed like intellect of man is not con fined to these frail instruments of his will, but tbst ho hss invented writteu characters whereby he uivr transmit the fruits of his thought snd resesrch in a manner which shall attract multi tudes whom his voice could never reach, and that be may continue speaking to earth's teeming millions when hand and tonguo have long since raoldered to their kindred dust beneath the clods of the valley, and bis spirit has ascended te its prototype, tbs great first cause. No wonder is it, then, that be seeks to master this key the new sources of knowledge. With patient toil and weary days of labor, at last he acquires the srt of reading, and now, heboid ! be is li 'ted to a gsorious eminence, frera wht lofty pinnacle a grander horizon, frer.lu r fields and sublimer prospects spread out before hint i& panoramic beauty. The thoughts of sage, scientist and priest are now bis own. Virgil Horace, and Homer ; Chaucer, Spenser and many another of olden time chant again their divine strains for his enter tainment, while Tennison, Moore, Byron, Whittier and Longfellow, join to swell his soal with a glad new an them of exultant praise. The toils of a Newton or a Kepler, bear to him rich fruits, which are his for the plucking, and turn where be will,no realm of hu man thought is beyond his reach. Thee it is, that he seeks the school room, and under the careful guidance of one who has . trod the path before him, be wrnders among these flower- garlanded fields, end gathers those things wbich are proper and healthful to his dawning intellect, and avoids, or rather, learns to avoid, those that ere poisonous ia their influence end effects.

We real in every days diapatcbea of boys le 1 into critni-M, disgiaciog baj py homes aud breaking tnolbere' hearts, through tbe agency of that jieatifcrou curse, tbe dime novel. Here, it 1 mistake not, eomes in the plain duty of the teacher. L ;t no dsy pass without instructing the pupils in regard to world's great authors. Iet them be told of tho great historians, bilosopbers, poets, sago, moralists an! novelists, whoso works are so worthy that they hsvo defied tbe crumbling tooth of time. Fill their young hearts with a desire to know more of these mighty men of genius 8ee to it that their atpirations ate up ward, and not downward. Arithmetic grammar, science all are g i 1, ail are bsolutely essential, but, fellow teschers, fellow parents, this subtle easenco which we call mind will not bo sttisfied with these. The boy who is content to dwell in tho midst of mathemsticn alone, is an abnormal creature, deserving more pity than commendation. Tho girl whose sole aim in life is to accomplish that only which we ordinarily term utilitarian, is not likely to be attractive. A man with native shrewdness may conceal defects in mental drill in natur al sciences by judicious Bilence. He msv employ others to perform his mathematical computations, and yet be a prosperous business man. But no other can do his miscellaneous reading, no other can do for him that which is to make or mar his motel nature. He is to be pure, chaste, and noble, in his taste end habit of thought, cr impure, unohaste and unholy in sentiment and desire. Then, fellow teachers, let us strive with a Zeal born of a due appreciation of our high vocation, to direot this im portent factor into the right channels Follow parents, let us co-operate with the tesohor in this important work, end supplement his efforts by placing in the hands of our ohildren, the literature which will gratifv tha teste thus pro perl j directed. An ' surely God will bless our efforts, by granting a better race of men and women to come after us.

FROM THE SON : " Gentlemen: My father resides at Clow, Vt. lie has been a groat sufferer from Scrot als, and the inclosed letter will tell you what a marvelous eilec; Ayer's Saiaparilla has had in bla case. I think his blood must hare contained the humor for at least tea years ; but it did not show, exeept in the form of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about five years ago. From a few spots which ap peared at that time, it gradually spread so as to cover his entire body. I assure you he was terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, whan he began using your medicine. Kow, there are few men of his age who enjoy as good health as he has. 1 could easily name fifty persons who would testify to the facts In his case. Yours truly, W. M. PHILUM." FROM THE FATHER -.2 a duty for me to state to you the benefit X hare derived from the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Six months ago I was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an incessant and Intolerable itching, and the akin cracked ao as to cause .tho blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, aad my lito a burden. I commenced the use of the Sarsaparilla in April last, and have used It ranlarly since that time. My condition began to improve at onco. The sores have all healed, and 1 feel perfectly well In every respect being now able to do a good day's work, although 73 years of age. Many Inquire what has wrought such a cure in my ease, and I tell them, as I hare here tried to tell you, Aveb's Sarsaparilla. Glover, Vt, Oct. 21, 18S2.
