These rcadiogs will be well worth heoring, and ahould be largely attended. The New York Tribune says of Cable: "George W Cable, the New Orleans novelist, has carried the Puritan literary copital by storm with hie de lightful readings from his own works. Furth- .nri.nn nnnfirtns the first Verdict that Dickens was nowhere ooinpared with Cable as a delineator of his oreations. Hhj con cluding entertainment, interpersing Creole aud African songs with his readings, was such a success that a repetition had to be an. nounced for next week, and not a ticket was to be had for love or money by noon of the day of tho opening of the sale of seats " Can't Albany do as well as that. Tub Machine Shops. A few days ago the Democrat asked what It meant by Manager Uoag telling a Portland paper that they were enlarging and improving the machine shops at the Bay when they had agreed to locate them at Albany, and me j tmrs oi iorvaius gives uie iimuwuig answer : "It simply means nat wlien tney are Ashing for a right of way through a town thev bait their hook with the ma- chine shops and the citizens are always suckers enoueh to bite.

In speaking of the importance of the co operation of parents with teachers In the work of the school-rooin, I shall assume that I am addressing the parents them selves. I begin by asserting that parents are more largely responsible for the educa tion of their own children than arc pro fessional teachers, the' community at large, or the State. To give to every child a physical, intellectual, and moral, nurture Is a duty imposed on every parent. If for convenience, or for the sake of getting bet ter results, we delegate any part of this work to others, If we commit the child to the keeping of nurses, and to the curative art of physicians, his intellect to the guid ance of teachers, and his soul to the tuition of the Sabbath school instructions and pas tors, we moy thus delegate the work we cannot delegate the responsibility. We shall be held accountable for the aducation our children receive, whatever may be our agents in giving it. The teachers are re sponsible to us, we to posterity. We have, then, arrived at a very impor tant and far reaching parental duty in qon- nection with secular education. Parents being always responsible for their children's education, must always watch and super intend it. When we send our children to school, we do not and cannot, as some think, transfer to others all the care and re sponsibility of their education. Unless wc send with them our watchful solicitude wrapping them about as a pioteclion against evil influences, and attracMng to them all possible influences for good, we are unnatural and recreant parents ; and it is more than likely that in future years, the light burden of duty which we would not bear when our children were subject to us, will come back a heavy load of unavailing sorrow, and will sit and brood on our hearts, when their ignorance shall rebuke us, or their misdeeds shame us. Applying this principle to the details of ordinary school instruction, we see plainly that the parent should interest himself in the child's education, rnd should convince the child that he is so interested. It ought to be an abiding thought In the child's mind, spoken or unspoken, that "my father my mother, are very anxious that I shou'd do well at school." This one influence, if the child love and respect his parents, wilf do more to make and keep him industrious and faithful, than all other influences com bined. The parent will secure this object in a great variety of ways J In fact, if he really has the child's welfare and success at heart, there will ordinarily be no great danger of the child's failing to perceive it and to be affected by It. Still there are iudicious and imudicious ways of accom d ismner tne end wnicn tne parent nas m view. When this subject Is brought before parents, great stress is generally laid on visiting the school. I am inclined to think that undue importance is attached to mere visiting. Some good results may come from it.' Both teacher and pupil may be made to feel that ihe public eye Is upon them, and may be thereby spun ed to make some exertions to satisfy the public. But a far more healthy and more effective su pervision would be secured, if each parent should keep hlmseit in constant communi cation with the teacher and the school through his own child, by watcMnr; hi progress, by interesting himself, so far as he is able, in his studies, by correcting the misapprehensions that are always arising between teacher and scholar, and in gen eral by keeping the child's confidence, and using the trust for his good and that of the whole school. For every parent has a duty to the whole school as well as to hi6 own children and both for Us sake and their sake, he is bound to do what he can to make his own children oingent, teacriaDie, and dutiful. It might be objected to this view, by some teachers, that many parents arc incompe tent to superintend the education of their children, and that such Inperfection would in their case result only in meddlesome and annoving interference. So it would in a few cases ; but the great increase of earnestness and fidelity in the many, would more than compensate lorany sucn annoy ances. And I think teachers will bear me out In saying that they would much rather encounter tne nurries which uugui uuena a universal solicitude, than be stagnant on the dead sea of universal indifference. But however Illiterate a paient may be, there ts one service lie can render nis cniid wnicn will be valuable beyond all computation he can see to it that the child be regular and punctual. Let me say to those parents no-Bin what thev must nave neard a nun . . . 1 ... ...HI I ... rii-prt times aireaov. dui wiiui u iu be said a great many hundred times yet that every unnecessary absence is a serious Injury to the pupil, anu u ruuuery 01 mc u hnli school. If vou decide to send your child to a public sciiool rather than educate him yourseit, you musi tumuim uic prescribed regulations, that Is implied in th e contract between you and the teacher, 0,1,1 hetween vou and the whole school, V, hivr no more right to break Into the order of the school by irregularity than vou have to stop a train of cars between two stations for your own convenience and to the inconvenience on me rest 01 me ....n. Hut not to Insist longer on hl. vli-w of the case. It is important that uir rhlld understand that, while he is at- tending school, school Is the main thing. You cannot impress him with the idea that ,irntlnn la aomehtlng to be valued, and prized, and striven for with earnestness and patience i In other words, you cannot educate him at all, unless It is made the great thing to which other things, your Convenience and his fancies, must bend. If it makes no great matter if he is an hour i.. r if hn stavs out a day now and then, to do some errand for you or to gratify ... ........ Ul 1, , own, wny tho whole thing becomes of no great consequence in his estimation, and to awaken and keep a ive ln him any high purpose of worthy aim in education is an utter impossibility One more appeal, I am confident, I may present to the heart of every true father and mother, in the assurance that It will be effectual. Let us all resolve that our child ren shall 6tart In life with a better educa tion than we had. The opportunities are better now than when we were children it is easier for us to do well by them than it was for our fathers to do so well as they did by us. Far from us be the selfishness and heartlessness which sometimes say w nat was good enough for me Is good en ough for my children." Let us rather say, "(jod forbid that my children should ever know the mortification, the hardships, and failures which have come upon me from a defective education. Many of mv errors It is now too late for me to retrieve, but I can help my children and cause them to bless my memory, by guarding them against my mistakes and giving them bet ter advantages than I had and I am de termined to do it."
