For the Journal. Female Education.
Did our young ladies understand tho great luoral position which thoy occupy in socioty—did they fully realize thc influence which they exert over others—they would be inspired with a laudable zeal to qualify themselves for thoir high destination.— True, they are not called upon to wrangle in debate, nor contend upon tho politioal arena—to plead at the bar, or minister at the altar; their influenoe is noiseless aud unseen, yct as potent and all-pervading as
thc sun-light.    They wield a moral power that must tell on the nation's destinies and
tho nation's hopes.^ From the  quietudes j There lire thirty-eight dillorent sounds in

For the Journal. Mn. Editou :—
May I presume, through thc medium of your oolumns, to eall the attention of Directors, Teachers and oth¬ ers interested in the cause of education, to tho importance of a thorough acquaintance with thc elementary sounds of the English language ? It is evident to any ouc who has givon tho subject proper attention, that the pupil .should bo taught to articulate tbe cleuieiitary sounds of a language, be¬ fore he is able to utter thc words composed by tham, with distinctness. But in tho usual mode of giving instruction, the sim¬ ple sounds of the language aro seldom re¬ cognized, or heard in our primary schools —except in thc pronunciation of words.—

Anticipate and prevent frotfnlnoss and ill temper, by keeping thc children in good health, ease ami comfort. Never quiet by giving to eat or by bribing in any way, still loss by opiates.
For tho fir.it few months avoid loud and harsb. .sounds in the hearing of children, or violent lights in their sight; address thciu in soft tones; do nothing to frighten tlicm; and never jork or roughly handle thcni.
Avoid angry words «iid violenoe both to a child in its presence; by which means a naturally violent child may be trained to gentleness.
-Moderate any propensity of a child; .such as anger, viulence, greediness for food, cun¬ ning, which appears too active. Show him no examplo of those.
Let the mother bc, and lot her .select servants, such as .she wishes her cbild to bc. The youngest child is ali'eoted by tbo conduct of those in whose arms ho lives.
Let a mother fool as she ought, aud she ¦will look as she feols. JIuoh of a child's cai-liost moral training is by looks and ges¬ tures.
Whou necessary exhibit firmness and au¬ thority, always with perfoct temper, coiu- poaure and self possession.
Kever give a child that which it cries for; aud avoid being too ready in answering children's demands, else thoy become impa¬ tient of refusal, and sellish.
Wheu the child is most violent, the uiuther should bo calm and silent. Out- scrcamiiig a screaming child is as useless as it is mischicvouK. Steady denial, of thc object screamed for, is the best cure for scroainiug.
lu such contests, witnesses should with¬ draw, and leave molher and child alone.— A child is very apt to look around aud at¬ tract the aid of foreign sympathy for its littlo rebellious.
Kever promise to givo wheu the child leaves off crying. J-et tho cryiug bo a reason for uot giving.

The I'ollowiug exquisite moiickal' is from liongfcUoiv's uow pucni, "The Gulden Le¬ gend :"

of home, they send forth a secret influence that is felt in our halls of legislation, in our courts of justice, and, indeed, iu every departinent of human pursuit.
But this influence cannot bo exorlcd/or good, by an ignorant, an unlettered fe¬ male. Her iufluonco, if not pernicious, must at least be limited—her light the dim obscurity of fading twilight. And is there not reason to fear that female education in our country has beon sadly neglected or perverted ' Young'ladics may be taught to sing, and play, aud paint aud speak It¬ alian; but they are not taught to think.— They are trained more to figure in the drawing-room than to instruct and charm by intelligent conversation. They are treated more like things to be looked at and admired than like moral agents prepa¬ ring to take part in the high respousibili¬ ties of life.
FcmalcB have been and still are, too em¬ phatioally regarded as the " weaker ves¬ sel," and hence their nobler powers of thought have not been called iuto active and vigorous exercise. True, we havo seen a lianntdi Mooro or ]Mrs. lloiiians riso abovo the mist and prejudice of ages, and shine forth as stars of tho first niaguitude in thc intellectual firmament. Thoy have taught us what woman can do, and shown us, if we need evidence, that in all that constitutes moral greatness, she is not in¬ ferior to the sterner sox. Young ladies, look to theso, and others liko thom. Make them an example. Set your standard high. Aim at excellence, and excellence will be attained. You may not, iudeod, hopo all to rise to suoh enviable positious in .socie¬ ty; you may not all expect to become au¬ thoresses, and embalm your names iu the grateful remcinbranoe of posterity; but you may all occupy positions of usefulness, and your influenco in your own circle, bc like the dew of heaven, liilout and unseen, yct vivifying aud refreshing. A virtuous aud well educated woman is more to be prized thau rubies—.she is a charm, "a blessing and a vision of gladness to .all around her." She gives a high and nohle cast of charae¬ ter to those with whom she associates.— She teaches without assumption aud with¬ out authority. She has the power of im¬ parting knowledge without sceuiing to in¬ struct; and possesses au iuflueuce next to tho "wisdom that cometh from above," iu uiouldiiig the habits and the lifo.
But powerful as is woman's influence elsewhere, at home, in tho domestic circle hor example is omnipotent. Tins is her AlTUOPiilATE SPUKUE. Thcro shc sils like the nocturnal queen, shedding a mild and mellow light around her. Is she a wit<;, aud has she intelligence mingled with piety, theu doth the heart of her husband trust hcr; sho will do him good, and not ovil, all thc days of his life." Is shi) a mother, thon she is prepared to guide the youthful miud, and impress upon it tho great prineiples of truth and duty. Ilcr childrcu will grow up like olive plants, around her, to be ornaments to society and blessings to their race. We ueed such mothors—the church needs them—aud when ouce they shall adorn every tire-side and altar, wo need cherish uo fears of our country's safety.
Uow unportant then is female education —an education that will discipline the mind to thiuk nnd the heart to feel ! liow infinitely does it surpass the petty outward accomplishuienls so eagerly sought aud so highly prized ! Beauty alone cau never secure the permanent respect of a discoru- iug mind. A woman admired for hcr beau ty, either personal or artificial, may charm and amuse for a tiuie—sho m.ay draw crowds of admirers around her, who like the stu¬ pid butterfly, prefer giiiuly-colored lilowors wilhout fragrance to plainer ones that yield delicious odors. But heauty is frail and fleeting—a reod which is demolished by tho slightest breeze; while an educated miud is like tho towering oak whicii defies tho tempests of years. Beauty, riches, friends—all earthly good may forsake us, but au educated miud will live when all things else have perished.
Let me thou urge our youug females to think less of pleasiug by what is called beauty uf porsuu or Uress, aud seek moro to adorn tho miud—tho inner temple wilh attractions lhat will never decay. "Favor is deceitful aud beauty is vain; hut a wo¬ mnn that fcarcth tho liord—she shall have 11. A. M.
twenty-six  letters; which in a radical do feet in our alphabet, and the cause of much perplexity   to   the  learner.    It would bo more philo.«ophical to teach thc pupil, first, tho eleincntai-y sounds, theu the   onuncia- tion of syllables and words, aud afterwards, the reading of simple, complex and  com¬ pound  .sentences,  yet, strango  as it  may appear—in  this ago of progress—but few of our teachers or .scholars are ablo to tell what  those sounds  are, or who cau speak Ihcui  singly.    To remedy this  defect,   in thc comnion schools, lot the Directors fur¬ nish each school with a Sound Chart of the English  lunguage; and have the  scholars well drilled iu this important branch of el¬ ementary education.    The uttering of these sounds explosively, not only proves a heal¬ thy  and pleasing exercise to the scholars, but, is of great advautage iu curing defec¬ tive articulation.    It -would bc superfluous, to attempt, iu this brief article, to describo either the sounds or tho manner of toaehing them.    The object is simply to call tho at¬ touliou to this much neglected branch of education.    Teachers  aud others to whom this  subjoct may appear  ncw, cnn got   all necessary information in "Comstock's Sys¬ tem uf Elocution,"  or  " The   Complete Phonographic   Class  Book."    Phonogra¬ phy is a now art, based upon thc science of Phonetics, and in point of boauty and ra¬ pidity, is vastly superior to auy other sys¬ tem of short hund. It can be written much more  rapidly than the common loug hand, and requires loss time aud labor in  its ac¬ quisition. *     The  advantages  of  Phuiio- grapliy eau hardly bo over-rated, especial¬ ly as it relates to tho pronunciation of our laugu.age.    It nieans the writing of sounds, or writing according to   souud, and has a distinct   character for each of  the thirty- eight sounds; and when these are familiar, It  can be   read with equal, if not greater facility, than eommou writing.    1 commend the art of Phonography to tho attention of youug persous of both sexes, a» one of the most  desirable accomplishments they can acquire.

Public SpcaUing.
Hufus Choate, it is said, nevor mado a speech of auy kind without having first written it out and committed it to memory. Ilis legal arguments arc subjected to the same preparation. The same thing is said be true of Edward Everett. All his oratious bear marks of tho most careful fin¬ ish, especially in language and the forma¬ tion of the sentencos. Both these gen¬ tlemen are gifted with an extraordinary power of niomory. It is said that Mr. Ev¬ erett will read over a very long address twice and then repeat it nearly verbatim. Mr. Cnlhoiin prepared all his speeches with a wonderful degree of labor, and seUluui said anything iu tho Senato Chambor which ho had not first carefully considered aud shaped in his study. Mr. Wobstor gener¬ ally speaks from full notes, in whicii the skeleton of tho .speech is carefully develo¬ ped, and all statistical staicments, quota¬ tions, &o., set down, lie relies upon the nioment for hinguage, but generally it is written out at full length.
Learn a Trade.
Ko one can look over his neighbor¬ hood, town or villiagc, without being as¬ tonished at the large number of young men and boys who are suffered to grow up without a trade; and if the inquiry is made of their parents, whether they do.not be¬ lievo it is best for all boys to loarn a trade, the auswer is iu the affirmative. Men who live at random—who suffer tl\pmsclvcs to exist without having any fixed aim or ob¬ ject iu view—generally mako-a miserable 'butch' for life. Hence tlie importance of setting out in early lifo with a dcteruiina- tiuu of being something. Every one at tho age of 10 or 17 should select some vo¬ cation with a dcternruiation of pursuing it, and yet we sometime^ observo families of balf a dozen, growing up to the age of ma¬ turity, trusting altogether to chance, for eiiiployuicnt. While some arc so lortu- natc, ni-auy olhcrs, from idleness, want of fixedness aud determination, beeome poor w-rocks, aud are kicked about through the world as •more tools, of little value to any¬ body. Tho proportion of successful men in tlio world are as 10 to oue in favor of those who set out iu early life to learn a trade, profession or calling with a deter¬ niinalion to follow it as a source of living —or at least until maturo judgement and ni.ay safely dictate a change, over thuse who spend their minority in ehang- ibout from ouo bushiess to another.— Even the boy w-ho desires to be a furincr should make up his mind early in lifo to that cU'eet, and at onoe set about acquiring habils of industry, economy, perseveraiic aud a knowledge of agrioultural science, that hc may pursue it with pleasure and prulit. Few persons, who thus start out in early life, make a failure of their cxis¬ tenco, hut w-ill thrive, become intelligent and attain comfortable circuinstauces, be¬ fore the frost of age beifins to settle upon tlieir heads. Are these remarks, in the general souse, found tu be truo! Let thc reader, who has attained thc age of '2!) to ik) yoars, answer. That answer will be an emjihatic YKs! Then why arc so many heads of families failing to fix in tho minds of their children tho fixedness of purpose so necessary to sueocss) It is this grand fatal error of neglect to train boysfor .some particular oceupatiou which has a mighly influence in peopling this world with vaga¬ bonds and 'botehos' in miud, in character, d in mechanical skill. It is truly la¬ mentable that such a vast number of jior- .soiis are growuig up like a herd of cattle, to be driven through the world pretty much iu the samo manuer. Why have we such a multitude of poor uiechanica!— Manifestly, in a groat measure, because they have uover served their time, and paid that attenlion to their business which they might and ought to have done. Thoy neglected to enlighten their minds and purify thoir morals in a nianner calenhited to facility and improve the labor of their hauds. Why have we such a host of in- ellieient school teachers? Because thoy havo never qualified themselves for tho vo¬ cation!
^Vhy aro so many thousanda making a bare hard living by pedling along and tra¬ ding offtheir couimodilies by various small operations! AVhy so many wandering about without knowing to what to turu their hands! Why so m.-my who must re¬ sort to keeping oyster shops, groceries, etc., in order to make a living? Because they have nevor qualified themselves for more useful einploymenlsl Some thoughts like these might claim tho attention of » mass of parents with profit.—Potstown Ledger.
Qualifications of Toters.
Tbe  laws of most and I believe all the States require that a  person shall own a certain amount of property or pay some cer¬ tain tax to give hiin the elective franchise. Would it  not be wise to make some alter¬ ation in this t    The strength of this Gov¬ ornment  is confessedly in   the intelligence and good understanding of the people.    In their knowledge of thoir rights and privil¬ eges, of their duty as cilizens and of the true principles of solf govcrnmont.  Would it not be well to pay more attention to our public schools and make the elective fran¬ chise dependent on the ability of the voter to read and write, and the taking of .some good weekly ptiper for about six months in the  year !     Thus  you  would   raise   the standard of intelligence; you would inereasc tho  interest of society, you would benefit the rising generation; and if auy thing on earth   eau do it, 1 believo you -.vould con¬ tribulo to render more permanent aud even us enduring as the hills, Ihc institutions of our  land.    Visit the Printing (Mcos and Post Offices of our countrj, and I believe yoyi will find, notwillislanding tho  choap- uess of papers and tho  freedom of their transiiii.ssion, not onc htdf of the voters in our country lako a paper; nor do I believe more than one half read a paper from one six months' cud to auothor. ilow can suoh men know much of the transactions of the day.    How can thoy possibly know all that is going on;  and not knowing all, how cau they  possibly uudcrslaud what is best and what is uot, what would be for thc interest or  -what the injury of  tho country.    Ko subject cau be properly deeided and judged of,  that is nol well understood,  and can such understaud the coutcsted and dis[iuted suhjects of the day ?    JIany do not under¬ staud them  thoroughly, who devote much of  thoir time tu roadiug und study, tvnd as well  might the mau who takes no  paper, who of courso reads no paper, tell mo that he has tiualyzed tho   sun, that he can tell mc all its eouiponent parts with the priuci¬ plos and properties of light, as that he un- dersluuds thc cunlrovortcd .subjects of our legislatures, and if he does not understand thoroughly  the priuciplos of the man he votes for as well  as the .lubjccta  which would  be for the interest of  the country, he is liable to become the t-iol of  any de¬ signing politioal demagogue,  and far more iikely to give  his vote for the   injury than the  benelit of his  country.    Then I   say mako it obligatory, as well as it is already the duty aud interest of every man to ren¬ der himself iritsUigent and  well iuformed; and depend upon it the country would soon experience the salutary influence it -would exort.
