THE aiHET HOME. " Wbat dear, quiet little things Mrs. Bird's children are 1" said a lady to her friend. " I call(«3 to see Mrs. Bird to-day, aud foand her in the nursery witli ber two boys aud her two girls, abont the ages of miue. It would have done your bfart good to see how awewtly they behaved. Perft*ct litle gentlemen and ladies tliey were. I felt really discottraged. Mine! why they are wild asses' colts in com¬ parison." I "Tliere'a agreat difference in children," replied lhe friend. •' I koow,some liltle boys and girls tliai Mr.-?. Bird would not iiud So easily suddued." " I could hardly credit my owu eyes ; but, ' as they say, seeing is lielieving," resumed the first speaker. " For more thau half an hour 1 aat aud talked witb Mrs. Bird, in 'the nursery, witbout once being disturbed by noise or any of the unpleasant interruptions incideut lo the presence of the childreu." ".What were they doiui;?" askrd tbe "Iher, in some .«urpr).se. "That was most remarkable of all. Mrs. Bird Iiari four childreu, Willy is tbe oldest —just in his leutli year. Meetais seveu, Ag¬ ues five, aud the baby, as they call Andrew^ nearly four. Just llie ages for thoughtless mischief-making, troublesome noisy romps. But they were still as mice iu a cheese. She had them all doiug somethiug. Willy she had taught various kinds of netting and or¬ namental needle-work. It was a wonderful resource for the child, she said, keeping his thoughts aud fingers busy, and both out of mischief. She showed a handsome anti¬ macassar, iu crochet, which he bad just fin¬ ished. I'm sure that I couldn't have done it better. I conld not help looking upon tbe delicately formed, .sweet-faced hoy, as he sat earnestly engaged at bis work—he was em¬ broidering a pair of slippers in Berlin wool for his father—aud couirasting him with mj Tom, a great, rude, coarse boy, with dirty, rough hands, that are always in better condi¬ tion for grasping a wheelbarrow than plying a needle. And the comparison, I can assure you, was not made without a sigh." "Did the boy look happy?" inquired the friend " Perfectly so. He wanted no amusemeut besides his booka and his needle-work. Yon couldn't drive him into the street, his mother said." " Dear little fellow I What a comfort to have such a child !" '* Isn't it f It really did me good to look in¬ to his sweet, pure face, girlish and delicate.** "I should like to understand Mrs. Bird's syatem, for there must bo art in the case.— All children are born romps." "I begin early," she said to me, 'and re¬ press all rudeness and disorder. It is the mind that governs in childreu .as well as in men. You must give this tbe right direction. Mere noise makiug I never permitted. Boya, it is said, grasp a hammer and pound instinc¬ tively. I tliink, iu most cases, they pound because a hammer is j;iven to them, Try tbem with the :jWHet lace aud fragile form of a baby doll, aud you will rarely see an incli¬ nation to pound. I cammenued with tbe doll, not the hamtuer; and yoa see the result.— Willy is gentle as a girl, lie never throws the house iulo disorder—never makes dis¬ cordant noise—never quarrels with or teases his younger brother or sisters. So with the rest. I began rigbt yoa see; aud upon a right begiuuing every tbing depeuds. My huibaud is a home loving, order-loving, quiet- loving man; ami I make it my business to see that home is all he desires. ' Uow much I enjoy my liome, it is so quiet and orderly.' Duriug the first year of our marriage Mr. Bird often i«aid this. I had seeu other homes. I was familiar with the way in which young children were permitted to destroy all com* fort iu a household by their noise and disor¬ der ; and I roada up my mind to have things ditferent, if chililreii eame to our home. Aud they are differeut as you cau see. And the children themselves are much happier. I keep them busy at something from morning till night—busy enough not to think of eat¬ iug all the wliiie. This gormandizing among j childreu is dreadful! It makes mere glut¬ tons of them—developing tbo animal, and I repressing ihe intellectual. It is tbis r.aven- ous eating tbat makes tbem coarse, rude, and cruel, like wild beasts." " I believe Mrs. Bird is more than half right," was remarked upon this. •'! have often said that children were permitted to eat overmuch.—Mine would Stuff themselves like Chiiatmas turkeys, from morning till night, if not restricted." " Employment such as Mta. Bird provides for her children, is certainly the best correc¬ tor for this habit of eating." "Sow did sbe get along with baby Audrew —the litttle four-year old you mentioned ? Waa he as orderly and silent as the rest ?' lie was poring over a picture spelling-book j for most of the time that I was there, aud I afterwards occupied himself stringing beada- I I declare it was all a wonder to me. Such a charming family of children I have never aeen elsewhere. What a change there would i be for the better if all mothers understood j and practiced ou Mrs. Bird's system. i " Better for heaven, it may be," said the friend, a little equivocally. ",For heaven ? I dou't just see your mean- i ing." " Such children are most too good to live," ' '»Ohl" " Mrs, Bird's quiet home may be very pleas- ant,|and her aystem of government very beau¬ tiful—but there is danger.'* "Of what?" "That her children will not live." " Wby ? Because they are too good for this earth, as you have juat intimated ?" " I am not sura they are any better iu heart "than some leas orderly and more boisterous chUdren. What I mean is, that Mrs. Bird's gystom depresses the animal forces, leaving constitutions. for the face of a boy, and his body too slen¬ der. I observe, alao, that his shoulders are depressed. Hark!" Both listeued for a few momenta. "Idon't juat like that cough," said Mr. Bird. " A little cold," remarked his wife. "Willy got Itis feet wet to-day." " I never aaw children with such indiirer- ent appetites," said Mr, Bird; "they don't eat enough to keep pigeons alive." *' Most childreu eat too much,', waa tbe re¬ ply ; " amd more children are made sick from over-feeding than abstemiousness." "But tbere is a golden mean," said Mr. Bird, " To reach which haa been my study. Do not fear. The children eat quite as much as good for them." " There it is agaiu! I dou't like that cnugh at all." And Mr. Bird arose and went np to the room where theTcbildren were sleeping. Willy's cheeks were slightly Hushed, hts skin was dry and above the natural heat—and his respiration just euough obstructed to make it audible. His father stood for some mo¬ ments looking down upon his sleeping boy. " There's notbing the matter with him." Even as Mra. Bird said this Willy coughed again, aud as he coughed he raised his hand to bis tbroat and moaned as if in suffering. " Willy 1 Willy ! dear !" " I wouldn't di^iturb hitu," said Mrs. Bird. The father's voice bad penetrated his half awakened seuse, aud, opening his eyea, he looked up with a wondering glance. » Are you sick, Willy r ^he boy coughed agaiti, and more convul- aivBly, pressing his hand on bis chest. " Does it hurt you to cough V' "Yes." " Wbere ?" " It hurts rae right here," his hand re¬ maiuing where he bad placed it a momeut before. The panting of the child showed that there W^s constriction of the lungs. ** I'm going for the doctor "—Mr. Bird spoke aside to his wife. " I hardly think it necesaary," objected the mother. " It is only some slight distur¬ bance from cold, and wilUpass away. This sudden waking has qaickened his heart-beat." Usually Mr. Bird deferred to his wife iu all matters relating to the children, though his judgment did not coincide with berdiscipline. But he was too well satisfied that Willy re¬ quired a physican now to hesitate a momeut on the mothers objection. So he went away in haste. The physician was far from treating the case indifferently. His practised eyo recog nized the symptoms of ao acute pneumonia and his treatment was such as to till the hearts of the parents with sudden 'ear. If the boy had any constitution—" It was on the fifth day, and the physician was replying to an anxious inquiry made by the distressed mother, all of whose fears were excited. "If the boy had any constitution, I coold speak all the encouragement ^our heart desires. But he is a hothouse plant. AIIjtLe vital forces'ara but feebly reactive." "His health has alwaya been good, doctor," interposed Mrs. Bird. " He has never before had any serious sick¬ ness; buthe lacks physical stamina, for all that," The doctor's words sent a shuddering chill to the mother's heart; while a faint convic tion dawned npou her mind. Too surely were the physician's fears re¬ alized. At the eud of teu anxious days it was apparent to every oue that Willy's hours upon the earth were numbered. The disease preying upon a body which had been denied pure air aud invigorating sunshine, found scarcely any thing to oppose its destructive advances. There was no power of resistance in that delicate frame. Without even a struggle for life the contest ended. In less than a week after the death of Willy there came another summons for the doctor He found the sorrowing par-uts in alarm again. Little Audrew, *' the baby," waa sick.. Sore throat—fever—stupor. " He hasn't beeu out anywhere," said Mrs. Bird, " for two weeks." Her meaning was, that haviug remaiued shut up in the house during that period, it was impossible for bim to have contracted auy contagious disease. " It would have been far better if you had sent him out every day." The doctor's words were more an utterance of his own thoughts than a remark to Mrs. Bird. Dear little Andrew ! He was a slen¬ der, matured, beautiful cbild, who attracted every eye. Hia pale, spiritual face, almost shadowed by his broad forehead gave prom¬ ise of an intellectual manhood—if manhcod could ever he reached. But that was tha question which forced itself upon every one but bis unwise parents, who, iu securing a quiet household, were providing for tbe deep¬ er qniet of death and desolation. Delicate, orderly, loving, beautiful children grew up in the stimnlating atmosphere of their home, but without strength for the life battle. Andrew, "tbe baby," was carried out leas than a week from tho time the doctor sat dowu by tbe bed on which he lay, and placed his fingers outhe quick, wiry pulse that seut a warning of death to hia beart. " Our children have no constitutions," said Mr. Bird, sadly, as ha gazed with dim eyes upon the two delicate blossoms that remain¬ ed to shed tbeir fragr.inco in his quiet home. "They have alirays been healthy," an- swered the mother, in mournful tones. "The doctor says that we should give them more fresh air, and a great deal of out¬ door exercise." "Jane takes them out walking every day ; bnt I don't see that it doea them any good. Agues always comes hotne tired and' fretful; and Meeta look cold lo-day. Neither of them are as well or aa happy aftar tbese walks as when they remain iu the bouse." Ko wonder they were tired and fretful, or showed symptoms of cold, after theso daily recreations iu the open air. Holding each a hand of their attendant, they would walk slowly as uun.^, aud orderly as charity chil¬ dreu iu a procession. There were no hop, skip and jump—no impulsive start or merry romp—but a sirict observanue of the last ma¬ ternal injuctiou, "Now walk along like good, quiet children." Weariness, after snch attempted recreations in the open air, was an inevitable result; weariness, and something worse. The out¬ side air was different f.om the air oftheir homes. It waa colder aud more humid. To I meet thia aud derive a benefit iustead of sus¬ taining an injury, there must ba a quicker circulation and increaaed bodily warmth.— Mere addition of clothing would not accom¬ plish the desired object. There muat be quicker movemeuts of the body—vigorous exercise—producing increased vital action. Daily these half-dead-and-a-live walka were continued, and daily the children came back from them wearied and aplrttless, and some- timea with hot hands and feverish breath. Tha mother insisted upon it that these daily walka were not good for the children .— Mr. Bird in doubt, called upon their doctor» and submitted the question anew. " Give them plenty of fresh air and out-of- door exercise; was his repeated and very emphatic injunction. "Ifyou wiah to raise yonr children, let Ihem have^a chance to ac¬ quire strength." Aud ao the daily goings were continued whether tha air was dry or damp, warm or chilling. The Character of the Child not tTnderstood.

No wild, screaming laughter evar desecrated their house unlesa from the lunga of some badly- trained, visiting child, upon whose 'strange doings her owu little ouea gazed in balf stupid wonder. Narrow chests and weak were the natural conseqnence. Aa Willy had so died—ere the summer's , greenness had faded from the new-made graves of tbe first departed—Meeta next to I him in years departed. Only Agues was left to the stricken parents now. She was pure, and white, aud delicate . as a lily. That Meeta had been injured by the daily walks in the open air tb^r were ' fully convinced; and notwithstanding the repeated remonstrances of tbe family physi¬ cian, they re^u^¦ed to let the fresh breathings , of beaveu iu upou their child. I Oue day—it waa a sunny visitant in the early spriug time, ere the violet opens ita blue eyes amoug tbe freah-shooting graas— Agues strayed from the nursery, aud going, , beyond the watchful eyes of her motherj gained auopon chamber wiudow, and, climb¬ ing upon a chair, looked ont upon the bud¬ ding trers and the emerald carpet which Na¬ ture had spread over lhe small plat of open ground that lay in front of the dwelling.— The window looked to the south, and the air came pressing in from that quarter, bathing the child's brow with a refreshing coolness. She laid her slender arms upon the window- sill, and, resting her face upon her arms, looked-ont, half-dreamily, and with a quiet sense of pleasure. Wben her mother fouHd her half an hour afterwards she was asleep. A robust child might have suffered from some temporary derangement of the system, consequent ou checked perspiration; but to one of Agnes' feeble conatitutiou exposure like this must always be followed with seri¬ ous consequences. When Mrs. Bird caught Agues in her arms a wild fear throbbed in her heart. Alas! it was no idle fear. She soon detected symptoms too well understood, aud sent in haste for the doctor. " Some slight derangement," he said, eva¬ sively, to the eager questionings of the moth¬ er. But his tones were a death-kneM. Very, very quiet now is tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. Bird. There is no wild disorder o^ childreu there, but a stillness that makes the heart ache. Mrs. Bird resolved, in the begin¬ ning, lo havo a quiet, orderly home, aurl she has done her work well. patented machine for the hatching of chick¬ ens. Look at the manifold different systems of education. One might suppose that the miud of the child was made for curious ex¬ periments, to find by what variety of place, Finr AND FANCY. •'Homestead exemption," exclaimed Mrs. Partington,throwing dowu the paper, "it's come to a pretty pass, indeed, that men are going to exempt themselves from home just wheu they please, without auy proviaiou Ior cold nights." "Ifadogge'3 taiTis kut owf entirely, 'will it not interfere with his locmoshun ?" " Not eggzactly; it might not effect hia carriage, but 'twould entirely stop bis waggin." A corpulent clergyman rose at a public din¬ ner to return thanks, which he did by laying hia hand on hia stomach, and saying: " We thank Thee for theae blessings, so bountifully spread, and for our capacity, to enjoy them.*' A gentleman once asked acompany of little boys what they were good for? One little fellow very promptly answered: " We are good to make men of." I Billy F. was making a journey in a atage- ctJach, over the hilly roads in tha western part of New York, and amused himself, ou tbe way, by frequent resorts to the comfort of a mysterious black bottle which he had with him. Suddeuiy, the coach came iu contact with a large stone, which, without doing any other damage deprived Billy ofhis equilib¬ rium, and down he rolled on the ground.— " Wot'n thunder are yer doing ?" said Billy ; "jhow came yonr to tip tha stage over ?" Tha driver informed him that the stage had not beeu overturned at all; andthe passengers assured Billy that Jehu was right. Billy ap¬ proached tbe vehicle again, and remonnted slowly to his former aeat outaide. "Did not upset, d'you say?" "Not at all," replied the driver. " Well, if I'd a known that," said Billy, "I wouldn't 'ha got off." Of all apparantly innocent habita, lying in bed is, perhaps, the worst. Amidst all the different habita through which people have attained to a long lifo, it ia said that iu tbis one respect, aud this only, hava they all agreed^that uo very long lived man has been a late riser. Booth, the tragedian, had his nose broken some years ainca. A lady once said to bim: " I like your acting, but I cannot get over your nose." "No wouder," repHed he, "the bridge is gone." " Mr. Smith," said a, little fellow, the other evening, to his sister'a beau, "I wish vou wouldn't praise our Aun Maria's eyes any more. You've made her so proud uow, that she won't speak to cousin Laura, nor help mother the least bit." The ground of almost all our false reasoning is, that we seldom look auy fnrther than on one side of the question. Why is love liko a canal-boat ? Because it is an iuternal transport. Womau are fond of teUing us that they hate handsome mon; bnt you may be aure tbat it is only to ugly iden.that they say so. " Talking ob law," aays Pompoy, "makes me thiuk oh what de 'mortal Cato, who lib' most a thousan' years ago, once said: " De law am like a groun'-glaas window, dat gibs light *nuff lo light us poor folks in de dark pasaagea of dis life; but it. would puzzle de debble hisself to see through it." A "horse" doctor in Ohio made a bet of twenty dollars that he could remove from' any horse anything Natnre had not placed on tbe beast—meaning ringbone, spavin, etc. A wag took tbe bet, showed bim a mortgage for a huudred and Cfty dollars on a favorite horse, and pocketed the twenty dollars. A clergymen, catechizing tho youths of hia church, pnt the first question to a girl.— "What is your consolation iulife and death?" The poor girl smiled, but made no answer.— The teacher insisted. "Well," said she " since I must tell, it ia theyonng printer on Otter Street." The following toast was recently given-at a ladies'fair: " Woman, tbe morning-atar of infancy; tbe day-star of manhood ; the even, iug-star of age ; may we Ivisk iu their influ¬ ence until we are sky high." " Yon see, grandmamma, we perforate an aperature in the apex, .iud a corresponding aperature iu the base ; and theu by applying the egg to the lips, and forcibly inhaling the hreath, the shell is entirely discharged of its contents." "Bless my soul," cried the old lady, "what wonderful improvementa they do make! Now in my young daya we just made a hole in each end, and sucked." An editor of a country paper thua humor¬ ously bids farewell lo his readers: "The sheriff is waiting for us in the next room, so we have no opportunity to be pathetic- Major Nabem aaya we most go.

We cannot hut look upon that class of beings stigmatized by the term hoys with aome lively touch of pity.— Particularly when transplanted from the soil where they were born, .ind placed uuder for¬ eign influences, are they deserving of this humane seutiment. Would any man who has passed a moderately comfortable' lifo be wil¬ ling lo live over the decade between his fifth aud fifteenth year ? Does any oue feel a re. sponse in his heart to that lyrical wish, now popularized by tbe street-organ, to be a hoy again? The truth is, that the boy, as regards his conception of his own natnre aud its due education, is tu advance of hia age. He is not understood, or misunderstood. We arrogant¬ ly put him into that class which Sir WilUam Blackstone denominates fera natura:, (wild animals) and base our plans for his improve¬ ment upon the assumption of his total de¬ pravity. He haa ambition which burna out in disappointu ent; he has dreams of hero¬ ism and love whioh he dares not confide to auother; he has keen aeusibilities which hia eldera do not forbear to tauut or to disregard; he haa an understanding of matters whereof he is assumed to be absurdly ignorant; he has aching doubts about life and death which he knows not where to satisfy. Ofteu, like ono.who wanders iu the dark, his undevel¬ oped reason and half-knowledge fail to guide him through the uight iuto whicb his more mature fancy hurries him, aud he stumbles over chasms, or starts at thoae awful phan¬ toms of the brain which the firmness of riper intellect cannot at all times exercise. The loneliness of night, the mystery of the heavens, tbo sadness of good-by, fill hia imagination aud grasp hia whole soul with a power which lessons as he advances iu yeara. Like young Albano, in Jeau Paul's delectable romance of Titan, he has to restrain and hide within, himself all hia emotions, his louginga, his precious thonghts, for fear of some stem father or some domesticated Diogenes; or, if he ventures to unbosom himself to au imagiued friend of his own age, asking only for the bread of aympatby which his heart craves, it ia but to fiud him¬ self possessed of the scorpion of tre.i(:hery and neglect.—North.

Tbe fruits of their own incapaci- i ty and idleness are attributed most freely to the favoritism of tbe Superintendent. The only favoritism to which wo will plead guilty ia that we have nrged Boarda uniform¬ ly to take the beat qualified among thoae ap¬ plying—and teachers from various sournes with low gr des of cortificatea will bear ns out iu sayiug tliat it waa extremely aud equally difficult for snch to obtain situations. Frequently I took the liberty of directing at¬ tention to the mark in teaching as an all im¬ portaut guide to Directora iu making their Bolectiona; aud iu some few cases of moral delinquency which did not justify ofiicial action, I became an adviser with the Boards. It is gratifying to see the interest that is springing up everywhere in these publio ex¬ aminations. The attendances throughont the connty were mnch larger thia year than laat, aud mnch more attention was given to the exercises. Many patrons came, not from idle curiosity nor general intereat, but to jndge for themselvea and pick out their own teachers. Directors also, were generally punc¬ tually present, and that too in midharvest. Ladies were there in crowds. The ordinary rooms often proved quite insufficient, and in several cases we wera obliged to adjourn to barraor other larger accomodations. Evident¬ ly these thinga ahow a growing appreciation of the Common Scbools. It is uot a matter of excitemeut gotten up for the time. There ia nothiug spasmodic about it. It ia tho slow bealtby growth of attachment aud devotion to a cause which well merits all the fostering care of its frieuds. It does not court opposition, neither does it fear it. Give it a fair field, and occasional blows from ita foea will only deepen its roots, and, like the bruised mint cauae it to distill its savor more freely. J. S.

A certaiu couvict iu that institution has often been detected in using tobacco, which is in¬ terdicted by the rules ofthe Prison. The mys¬ tery wft3 how he got it. Uis cell was search¬ ed, his dress frequently examined, bat to uo purpose. The officera could not find the tobacco nor the box, b.at he could. A few days since, however, an officer happened to take up the Bible from the table in the convicts cell, and opening it discoverd that a greater portion of the leaves had been cat out of the center, and iu this cavity was a good atore of "plug," enough to last a State Prison convict a long time. The book exter¬ nally presented the same appearance as any other of the Bibles, a copy of which is in each cell, but the conteuts of the volume were not exactly in accordance with the As¬ sembly's Catechism.

' Having a few leisare moments at our dis¬ posal we have thought it might be profitable to employ them in making a review of the late public examinations in this county. A year ago we entered upon tho work of exami¬ ning teachers with mauy fears aud misgiv¬ ings. Many of tbe teachers were strangers to us, aud but little opportunity had been afforded to inspire mutual coufidence. After laboring among them for a year, wu felt that i we could this year euter upon the task of examination witli a much lighter heart.^ Other difficulties in the way previous years had been removed. Irregularities which were necessarily connived at in tlte commencement of the office had been corrected and the work systematized and conformed to the Law. Want of punctuality on the part of teach¬ ers and directors has in former years been a crying evil, oftentimes compelling postpoue- uieut of exercises dnriug most of the fore- oon. This year, we are happy to state, there was vaBt improvement in this respect, aud freqaeutly I begau to work by the very minute. Ou several occasions wheu I happened to bu away as the hour of niue approached, teachers and directors would draw ont watches and count the minutes anxiously desiring to catch me behind tbe time. Bat ouce was this pleasure afforded them aud that was iu consequence of au accident. We were much annoyed a year ago by teachers applying to enter the class which was under examination after we had passed through the larger part of the exercises—bat a positive refusal in any case to admit such has corrected the evil, . Applications for private examinations were also quite numerous a year since, and aome¬ times backed up by specious reasons, became very perplexing, A rigid adherauce to Law —making tbe ear deaf and the heart stolid to all entreaty-—has reduced tho number of these applications to almost nothing. Iu some few cases where constitutional infirmities exist, certified to by respectable medical authority, a private interview is granted, but these are the only exceptions aud do not exceed three or four iu number. Notwithstanding theso reliefs, v>e fouud oar labors in our recent tour much severer than we auticipated. This arose principally from the increased number of applicants. Last year, at this date, I had examiued 370 applicants; this year 520. The cause of this large iufiax ia twofold. Part, no doubt, are ^ed to seek employment in Teaching because they could fiud notbing else more profitable to do ; and in some cases Boards of Directors looked with considerable care over the list of applioauts, in order, as tbey said, to avoid " temporary supplies." Another cause is to be fouud in the Normal School. Quite a large number, who have attended there a term or two, are now seekiug to practice what tbey have leal ned, and replenish ex- hausfed treasuries. So large has been tlte increase from this direction that some of the older Teachers are becoming alarmed and want to close the " manufactory" lest tbe " market may become glutted." Much good will doubtless resnlt from au over abundant supply if it contiuues for a few years. Com¬ petition is healthy. When the ranks are full, imposters have no such easy access as before. The motive for effort with the Teacher will be much stronger. To establish a repu¬ tation he will spare no labor, and to maintain it will require unremitted toil. And when the choice is so large, an iudifferent or lazy Teacher cannot long remain employed. Al ready we believe mach good has been done. A number of inefficient Teachers did not even make tbeir appearauce this year, aud some of those that did, wero quietly supplanted by better material. Directors have often plead as au excuse for the employment of those unqualified—" we have no others," "give us better, and we will gladly tako them." This year the sincerity of this ex¬ cuse was to some extent tested, and we are. glad to aay, iu soma caaes, proved. We hope ABBEVILLE INSTITUTE.

THE aiHET HOME.
" Wbat dear, quiet little things Mrs. Bird's children are 1" said a lady to her friend. " I call(«3 to see Mrs. Bird to-day, aud foand her in the nursery witli ber two boys aud her two girls, abont the ages of miue. It would have done your bfart good to see how awewtly they behaved. Perft*ct litle gentlemen and ladies tliey were. I felt really discottraged. Mine! why they are wild asses' colts in com¬ parison." I
"Tliere'a agreat difference in children," replied lhe friend. •' I koow,some liltle boys and girls tliai Mr.-?. Bird would not iiud So easily suddued."
" I could hardly credit my owu eyes ; but, ' as they say, seeing is lielieving," resumed the first speaker. " For more thau half an hour 1 aat aud talked witb Mrs. Bird, in 'the nursery, witbout once being disturbed by noise or any of the unpleasant interruptions incideut lo the presence of the childreu."
".What were they doiui;?" askrd tbe "Iher, in some .«urpr).se.
"That was most remarkable of all. Mrs. Bird Iiari four childreu, Willy is tbe oldest —just in his leutli year. Meetais seveu, Ag¬ ues five, aud the baby, as they call Andrew^ nearly four. Just llie ages for thoughtless mischief-making, troublesome noisy romps. But they were still as mice iu a cheese. She had them all doiug somethiug. Willy she had taught various kinds of netting and or¬ namental needle-work. It was a wonderful resource for the child, she said, keeping his thoughts aud fingers busy, and both out of mischief. She showed a handsome anti¬ macassar, iu crochet, which he bad just fin¬ ished. I'm sure that I couldn't have done it better. I conld not help looking upon tbe delicately formed, .sweet-faced hoy, as he sat earnestly engaged at bis work—he was em¬ broidering a pair of slippers in Berlin wool for his father—aud couirasting him with mj Tom, a great, rude, coarse boy, with dirty, rough hands, that are always in better condi¬ tion for grasping a wheelbarrow than plying a needle. And the comparison, I can assure you, was not made without a sigh."
"Did the boy look happy?" inquired the friend
" Perfectly so. He wanted no amusemeut besides his booka and his needle-work. Yon couldn't drive him into the street, his mother said."
" Dear little fellow I What a comfort to have such a child !"
'* Isn't it f It really did me good to look in¬ to his sweet, pure face, girlish and delicate.** "I should like to understand Mrs. Bird's syatem, for there must bo art in the case.— All children are born romps."
"I begin early," she said to me, 'and re¬ press all rudeness and disorder. It is the mind that governs in childreu .as well as in men. You must give this tbe right direction. Mere noise makiug I never permitted. Boya, it is said, grasp a hammer and pound instinc¬ tively. I tliink, iu most cases, they pound because a hammer is j;iven to them, Try tbem with the :jWHet lace aud fragile form of a baby doll, aud you will rarely see an incli¬ nation to pound. I cammenued with tbe doll, not the hamtuer; and yoa see the result.— Willy is gentle as a girl, lie never throws the house iulo disorder—never makes dis¬ cordant noise—never quarrels with or teases his younger brother or sisters. So with the rest. I began rigbt yoa see; aud upon a right begiuuing every tbing depeuds. My huibaud is a home loving, order-loving, quiet- loving man; ami I make it my business to see that home is all he desires. ' Uow much I enjoy my liome, it is so quiet and orderly.' Duriug the first year of our marriage Mr. Bird often i«aid this. I had seeu other homes. I was familiar with the way in which young children were permitted to destroy all com* fort iu a household by their noise and disor¬ der ; and I roada up my mind to have things ditferent, if chililreii eame to our home. Aud they are differeut as you cau see. And the children themselves are much happier. I keep them busy at something from morning till night—busy enough not to think of eat¬ iug all the wliiie. This gormandizing among j childreu is dreadful! It makes mere glut¬ tons of them—developing tbo animal, and I repressing ihe intellectual. It is tbis r.aven- ous eating tbat makes tbem coarse, rude, and cruel, like wild beasts."
" I believe Mrs. Bird is more than half right," was remarked upon this. •'! have often said that children were permitted to eat overmuch.—Mine would Stuff themselves like Chiiatmas turkeys, from morning till night, if not restricted."
" Employment such as Mta. Bird provides for her children, is certainly the best correc¬ tor for this habit of eating."
"Sow did sbe get along with baby Audrew —the litttle four-year old you mentioned ? Waa he as orderly and silent as the rest ?'
lie was poring over a picture spelling-book j for most of the time that I was there, aud I afterwards occupied himself stringing beada- I I declare it was all a wonder to me. Such a charming family of children I have never aeen elsewhere. What a change there would i be for the better if all mothers understood j and practiced ou Mrs. Bird's system. i
" Better for heaven, it may be," said the friend, a little equivocally.
",For heaven ? I dou't just see your mean- i ing." " Such children are most too good to live," ' '»Ohl"
" Mrs, Bird's quiet home may be very pleas- ant,|and her aystem of government very beau¬ tiful—but there is danger.'* "Of what?"
"That her children will not live." " Wby ? Because they are too good for this earth, as you have juat intimated ?"
" I am not sura they are any better iu heart "than some leas orderly and more boisterous chUdren. What I mean is, that Mrs. Bird's gystom depresses the animal forces, leaving
constitutions.
for the face of a boy, and his body too slen¬ der. I observe, alao, that his shoulders are depressed. Hark!"
Both listeued for a few momenta.
"Idon't juat like that cough," said Mr. Bird.
" A little cold," remarked his wife. "Willy got Itis feet wet to-day."
" I never aaw children with such indiirer- ent appetites," said Mr, Bird; "they don't eat enough to keep pigeons alive."
*' Most childreu eat too much,', waa tbe re¬ ply ; " amd more children are made sick from over-feeding than abstemiousness."
"But tbere is a golden mean," said Mr. Bird,
" To reach which haa been my study. Do not fear. The children eat quite as much as good for them."
" There it is agaiu! I dou't like that cnugh at all." And Mr. Bird arose and went np to the room where theTcbildren were sleeping. Willy's cheeks were slightly Hushed, hts skin was dry and above the natural heat—and his respiration just euough obstructed to make it audible. His father stood for some mo¬ ments looking down upon his sleeping boy.
" There's notbing the matter with him."
Even as Mra. Bird said this Willy coughed again, aud as he coughed he raised his hand to bis tbroat and moaned as if in suffering.
" Willy 1 Willy ! dear !"
" I wouldn't di^iturb hitu," said Mrs. Bird.
The father's voice bad penetrated his half awakened seuse, aud, opening his eyea, he looked up with a wondering glance.
» Are you sick, Willy r
^he boy coughed agaiti, and more convul- aivBly, pressing his hand on bis chest.
" Does it hurt you to cough V'
"Yes."
" Wbere ?"
" It hurts rae right here," his hand re¬ maiuing where he bad placed it a momeut before.
The panting of the child showed that there W^s constriction of the lungs.
** I'm going for the doctor "—Mr. Bird spoke aside to his wife.
" I hardly think it necesaary," objected the mother. " It is only some slight distur¬ bance from cold, and wilUpass away. This sudden waking has qaickened his heart-beat."
Usually Mr. Bird deferred to his wife iu all matters relating to the children, though his judgment did not coincide with berdiscipline. But he was too well satisfied that Willy re¬ quired a physican now to hesitate a momeut on the mothers objection. So he went away in haste.
The physician was far from treating the case indifferently. His practised eyo recog nized the symptoms of ao acute pneumonia and his treatment was such as to till the hearts of the parents with sudden 'ear.
If the boy had any constitution—" It was on the fifth day, and the physician was replying to an anxious inquiry made by the distressed mother, all of whose fears were excited. "If the boy had any constitution, I coold speak all the encouragement ^our heart desires. But he is a hothouse plant. AIIjtLe vital forces'ara but feebly reactive." "His health has alwaya been good, doctor," interposed Mrs. Bird.
" He has never before had any serious sick¬ ness; buthe lacks physical stamina, for all that,"
The doctor's words sent a shuddering chill to the mother's heart; while a faint convic tion dawned npou her mind.
Too surely were the physician's fears re¬ alized. At the eud of teu anxious days it was apparent to every oue that Willy's hours upon the earth were numbered. The disease preying upon a body which had been denied pure air aud invigorating sunshine, found scarcely any thing to oppose its destructive advances. There was no power of resistance in that delicate frame. Without even a struggle for life the contest ended.
In less than a week after the death of Willy there came another summons for the doctor He found the sorrowing par-uts in alarm again. Little Audrew, *' the baby," waa sick.. Sore throat—fever—stupor.
" He hasn't beeu out anywhere," said Mrs. Bird, " for two weeks." Her meaning was, that haviug remaiued shut up in the house during that period, it was impossible for bim to have contracted auy contagious disease.
" It would have been far better if you had sent him out every day."
The doctor's words were more an utterance of his own thoughts than a remark to Mrs. Bird. Dear little Andrew ! He was a slen¬ der, matured, beautiful cbild, who attracted every eye. Hia pale, spiritual face, almost shadowed by his broad forehead gave prom¬ ise of an intellectual manhood—if manhcod could ever he reached. But that was tha question which forced itself upon every one but bis unwise parents, who, iu securing a quiet household, were providing for tbe deep¬ er qniet of death and desolation.
Delicate, orderly, loving, beautiful children grew up in the stimnlating atmosphere of their home, but without strength for the life battle.
Andrew, "tbe baby," was carried out leas than a week from tho time the doctor sat dowu by tbe bed on which he lay, and placed his fingers outhe quick, wiry pulse that seut a warning of death to hia beart.
" Our children have no constitutions," said Mr. Bird, sadly, as ha gazed with dim eyes upon the two delicate blossoms that remain¬ ed to shed tbeir fragr.inco in his quiet home. "They have alirays been healthy," an- swered the mother, in mournful tones.
"The doctor says that we should give them more fresh air, and a great deal of out¬ door exercise."
"Jane takes them out walking every day ; bnt I don't see that it doea them any good. Agues always comes hotne tired and' fretful; and Meeta look cold lo-day. Neither of them are as well or aa happy aftar tbese walks as when they remain iu the bouse."
Ko wonder they were tired and fretful, or showed symptoms of cold, after theso daily recreations iu the open air. Holding each a hand of their attendant, they would walk slowly as uun.^, aud orderly as charity chil¬ dreu iu a procession. There were no hop, skip and jump—no impulsive start or merry romp—but a sirict observanue of the last ma¬ ternal injuctiou, "Now walk along like good, quiet children."
Weariness, after snch attempted recreations in the open air, was an inevitable result; weariness, and something worse. The out¬ side air was different f.om the air oftheir homes. It waa colder aud more humid. To I meet thia aud derive a benefit iustead of sus¬ taining an injury, there must ba a quicker circulation and increaaed bodily warmth.— Mere addition of clothing would not accom¬ plish the desired object. There muat be quicker movemeuts of the body—vigorous exercise—producing increased vital action.
Daily these half-dead-and-a-live walka were continued, and daily the children came back from them wearied and aplrttless, and some- timea with hot hands and feverish breath.

Only Agues was left to the stricken parents now. She was pure, and white, aud delicate . as a lily. That Meeta had been injured by the daily walks in the open air tb^r were ' fully convinced; and notwithstanding the repeated remonstrances of tbe family physi¬ cian, they re^u^¦ed to let the fresh breathings , of beaveu iu upou their child. I
Oue day—it waa a sunny visitant in the early spriug time, ere the violet opens ita blue eyes amoug tbe freah-shooting graas— Agues strayed from the nursery, aud going, , beyond the watchful eyes of her motherj gained auopon chamber wiudow, and, climb¬ ing upon a chair, looked ont upon the bud¬ ding trers and the emerald carpet which Na¬ ture had spread over lhe small plat of open ground that lay in front of the dwelling.— The window looked to the south, and the air came pressing in from that quarter, bathing the child's brow with a refreshing coolness. She laid her slender arms upon the window- sill, and, resting her face upon her arms, looked-ont, half-dreamily, and with a quiet sense of pleasure. Wben her mother fouHd her half an hour afterwards she was asleep.
A robust child might have suffered from some temporary derangement of the system, consequent ou checked perspiration; but to one of Agnes' feeble conatitutiou exposure like this must always be followed with seri¬ ous consequences. When Mrs. Bird caught Agues in her arms a wild fear throbbed in her heart. Alas! it was no idle fear. She soon detected symptoms too well understood, aud sent in haste for the doctor.
" Some slight derangement," he said, eva¬ sively, to the eager questionings of the moth¬ er. But his tones were a death-kneM.
Very, very quiet now is tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. Bird. There is no wild disorder o^ childreu there, but a stillness that makes the heart ache. Mrs. Bird resolved, in the begin¬ ning, lo havo a quiet, orderly home, aurl she has done her work well.

Suddeuiy, the coach came iu contact with a large stone, which, without doing any other damage deprived Billy ofhis equilib¬ rium, and down he rolled on the ground.— " Wot'n thunder are yer doing ?" said Billy ; "jhow came yonr to tip tha stage over ?" Tha driver informed him that the stage had not beeu overturned at all; andthe passengers assured Billy that Jehu was right. Billy ap¬ proached tbe vehicle again, and remonnted slowly to his former aeat outaide. "Did not upset, d'you say?" "Not at all," replied the driver. " Well, if I'd a known that," said Billy, "I wouldn't 'ha got off."

lungs j Qr by what olipping and coaxing, it might be brought to assume a certain style of growth, without ever being suffered to put forth the laws of its own nature. We cannot hut look upon that class of beings stigmatized by the term hoys with aome lively touch of pity.— Particularly when transplanted from the soil where they were born, .ind placed uuder for¬ eign influences, are they deserving of this humane seutiment. Would any man who has passed a moderately comfortable' lifo be wil¬ ling lo live over the decade between his fifth aud fifteenth year ? Does any oue feel a re. sponse in his heart to that lyrical wish, now popularized by tbe street-organ, to be a hoy again? The truth is, that the boy, as regards his conception of his own natnre aud its due education, is tu advance of hia age. He is not understood, or misunderstood. We arrogant¬ ly put him into that class which Sir WilUam Blackstone denominates fera natura:, (wild animals) and base our plans for his improve¬ ment upon the assumption of his total de¬ pravity. He haa ambition which burna out in disappointu ent; he has dreams of hero¬ ism and love whioh he dares not confide to auother; he has keen aeusibilities which hia eldera do not forbear to tauut or to disregard; he haa an understanding of matters whereof he is assumed to be absurdly ignorant; he has aching doubts about life and death which he knows not where to satisfy. Ofteu, like ono.who wanders iu the dark, his undevel¬ oped reason and half-knowledge fail to guide him through the uight iuto whicb his more mature fancy hurries him, aud he stumbles over chasms, or starts at thoae awful phan¬ toms of the brain which the firmness of riper intellect cannot at all times exercise.

preaching. Tbe fruits of their own incapaci- i ty and idleness are attributed most freely to the favoritism of tbe Superintendent.
The only favoritism to which wo will plead guilty ia that we have nrged Boarda uniform¬ ly to take the beat qualified among thoae ap¬ plying—and teachers from various sournes with low gr des of cortificatea will bear ns out iu sayiug tliat it waa extremely aud equally difficult for snch to obtain situations. Frequently I took the liberty of directing at¬ tention to the mark in teaching as an all im¬ portaut guide to Directora iu making their Bolectiona; aud iu some few cases of moral delinquency which did not justify ofiicial action, I became an adviser with the Boards.
It is gratifying to see the interest that is springing up everywhere in these publio ex¬ aminations. The attendances throughont the connty were mnch larger thia year than laat, aud mnch more attention was given to the exercises. Many patrons came, not from idle curiosity nor general intereat, but to jndge for themselvea and pick out their own teachers. Directors also, were generally punc¬ tually present, and that too in midharvest. Ladies were there in crowds. The ordinary rooms often proved quite insufficient, and in several cases we wera obliged to adjourn to barraor other larger accomodations. Evident¬ ly these thinga ahow a growing appreciation of the Common Scbools. It is uot a matter of excitemeut gotten up for the time. There ia nothiug spasmodic about it. It ia tho slow bealtby growth of attachment aud devotion to a cause which well merits all the fostering care of its frieuds. It does not court opposition, neither does it fear it. Give it a fair field, and occasional blows from ita foea will only deepen its roots, and, like the bruised mint cauae it to distill its savor more freely. J. S. CRUMBAUGH, County Superintendent.

A Curious Hidixg Place—A new applica¬ tiou of this text: "Search the Scriptures," waa tliscorered by .some officials at the Massa chusett3 State Prison a few daya since. A certaiu couvict iu that institution has often been detected in using tobacco, which is in¬ terdicted by the rules ofthe Prison. The mys¬ tery wft3 how he got it. Uis cell was search¬ ed, his dress frequently examined, bat to uo purpose. The officera could not find the tobacco nor the box, b.at he could.
A few days since, however, an officer happened to take up the Bible from the table in the convicts cell, and opening it discoverd that a greater portion of the leaves had been cat out of the center, and iu this cavity was a good atore of "plug," enough to last a State Prison convict a long time. The book exter¬ nally presented the same appearance as any other of the Bibles, a copy of which is in each cell, but the conteuts of the volume were not exactly in accordance with the As¬ sembly's Catechism.

I'UBLIG EXAWI.VATIO.VS. '
Having a few leisare moments at our dis¬ posal we have thought it might be profitable to employ them in making a review of the late public examinations in this county. A year ago we entered upon tho work of exami¬ ning teachers with mauy fears aud misgiv¬ ings. Many of tbe teachers were strangers to us, aud but little opportunity had been afforded to inspire mutual coufidence. After laboring among them for a year, wu felt that i we could this year euter upon the task of examination witli a much lighter heart.^ Other difficulties in the way previous years had been removed. Irregularities which were necessarily connived at in tlte commencement of the office had been corrected and the work systematized and conformed to the Law.
Want of punctuality on the part of teach¬ ers and directors has in former years been a crying evil, oftentimes compelling postpoue- uieut of exercises dnriug most of the fore- oon. This year, we are happy to state, there was vaBt improvement in this respect, aud freqaeutly I begau to work by the very minute.
Ou several occasions wheu I happened to bu away as the hour of niue approached, teachers and directors would draw ont watches and count the minutes anxiously desiring to catch me behind tbe time. Bat ouce was this pleasure afforded them aud that was iu consequence of au accident. We were much annoyed a year ago by teachers applying to enter the class which was under examination after we had passed through the larger part of the exercises—bat a positive refusal in any case to admit such has corrected the evil, .
Applications for private examinations were also quite numerous a year since, and aome¬ times backed up by specious reasons, became very perplexing, A rigid adherauce to Law —making tbe ear deaf and the heart stolid to all entreaty-—has reduced tho number of these applications to almost nothing. Iu some few cases where constitutional infirmities exist, certified to by respectable medical authority, a private interview is granted, but these are the only exceptions aud do not exceed three or four iu number.
Notwithstanding theso reliefs, v>e fouud oar labors in our recent tour much severer than we auticipated. This arose principally from the increased number of applicants. Last year, at this date, I had examiued 370 applicants; this year 520. The cause of this large iufiax ia twofold. Part, no doubt, are ^ed to seek employment in Teaching because they could fiud notbing else more profitable to do ; and in some cases Boards of Directors looked with considerable care over the list of applioauts, in order, as tbey said, to avoid " temporary supplies." Another cause is to be fouud in the Normal School. Quite a large number, who have attended there a term or two, are now seekiug to practice what tbey have leal ned, and replenish ex- hausfed treasuries. So large has been tlte increase from this direction that some of the older Teachers are becoming alarmed and want to close the " manufactory" lest tbe " market may become glutted." Much good will doubtless resnlt from au over abundant supply if it contiuues for a few years. Com¬ petition is healthy. When the ranks are full, imposters have no such easy access as before. The motive for effort with the Teacher will be much stronger. To establish a repu¬ tation he will spare no labor, and to maintain it will require unremitted toil. And when the choice is so large, an iudifferent or lazy Teacher cannot long remain employed. Al ready we believe mach good has been done. A number of inefficient Teachers did not even make tbeir appearauce this year, aud some of those that did, wero quietly supplanted by better material. Directors have often plead as au excuse for the employment of those unqualified—" we have no others," "give us better, and we will gladly tako them." This year the sincerity of this ex¬ cuse was to some extent tested, and we are. glad to aay, iu soma caaes, proved. We hope
