" If ahe marries without your consent, then the property all falls—save an annaity of . four hundred—to yourself," said Bordan.

"No aucU condition exists," said Bordan, with a gratified smile. ** Examine the will and yon will find what I say to be true. Whal I aaid was meant to try you. You are an eccentric man, bnt houest and faithfuL"
It is unnecessary to speak farther of the interview Four days after its termination Henry Bordau's remains were carried to their final resting place. Tobias Hardgrip was a aingle gentleman of thirty-five years of age, blunt and matter of fact in his address, al¬ most rude in his manners, fond of 'money, yet honest, and bad a heait mnck more gen¬ tle than the world believed. He was the only sou of a man who had reared him from infan¬ cy, in the belief that gold was everything. and it is ao marvel that the heart of Tobias had, by constant contact with hts father'a metailio nature, beoome somewhat hardened, yet not irretrievably ao. Hia miserly fathej. had died a few months before Bordan's second marriase, and freed from his infiuence, Tobias had begun to think there waa aomething else beaides money to live for. And that aome¬ thing, in his eyes, were the smilea of Laura Amar, who afterward became the wife of Henry Bordan—a victim of worldly minded parents apon the golden altar of Mammon. Had Tobias declared his passion in season he would have found that Laura loved him; bat a deep-aeated self-distrust had deterred him, and his beloved beoame: the wife of a man old.enough to have been her grandfather. After this the heart of Tobias grew harder and harder, till at the time of Bordan's death every comer and crevice of it was filled with

When Henry Bordan waa npon his death¬ bed, and had been lold by his phyaician that, if he had any nnsettled hnsiness anywhere,

" Precisely. We were afraid of each other,', continued Bordan. " Now, yon know I have a daughter-a little girl of ten years. My wife died three years ago—my second wife— I believe yoa were present wben we were married."
" Yes, I recollect; I thought what a fool you ^ere to marry a young woman—you nearly sixty, she twenty—fooliah, very. Go on."
" Bhe waa faithful to me, I truly believe Tobias."
" No donbt; I never said she wasn't. It is mucb more agreeable to all parties to be¬ lieve ao.   I do.   What next ?"
"I have willed all my property to my ohild, except a few legacies:   Among others, ono to yourself." "One to me—thank you ; how much?" "Ten tbonsand dollars," aaid Bordan, witb agriisaoe.
" Yery good. What am I to do to earn it ? for I know I have a job on hand."
"Ihave appointed you guardian of mj daughter UH she shall havo attained her twenty-first year. If she shall be satisfied with your cara of her during the interval, I bava enjoined it upon her to present yoo with an additional ten thousand." " Sbe won't be aatiafied-women never an.
Eve had plenty of psaobes, bnt preferred ap-1 ibere, dear out."
" But, sir, you have not shaken bands with your sister's son."
" How do you do, sir ?" said Tobias, giving him a grip oftbe hand that made Orlando grin with pain.
" But you aro not my sister's son—I never had a sister—your mother was the danghter of yonr mother's mother before your grand¬ mother married my fatber—do you under¬ stand ?"
" Perfectly," said Orlando, who was batting bis brains among all tbese mothers seeking fo'r his grandmother.
" Your mother aaka me to allow you to make my house your home during yonr stay in tbis oity.   How long sball you stay?"
"Afow days only. lam on my way to California to dig gold," said Orlando, lighting a cigar.
"Allow me," said Tobias, who, among otb¬ er andlesser failings, could not bear the scent of a good cigar, and taking tbe weed from tbe mouth of tbe yonng gentleman be throw it into tbo fire. " Yon see I don't like tobacco; it makes me siok. So you are going to dig gold. Many go tbere to dig gold and dig sncb deep holes that, bless my soul 1 tbey fall into them and die. That's your afiair. Here is the address of my house. Tfaere is no one tiiere now, exoept a little girl—a ward of mine.— Walk about the oity. I'm busy. I'll meet yon atmy housa at five—my dinner hour.—
When Tobias was again alone he began to tbiuk abont bis step-sister'a son.
" He is vety handsome. He ia very showy. Ha haa plenty of impudence, Wby, bless my aonl, I believe be is the finest looking fellow I ever Iat into my honsa. I don't like bim. He looka very dissipated. Laura's too young to faU in love—bless my soul I—she's eighteen. Suppose sha shonld fanoy some popinjay, like Oriando, and marry bim ? What wonld beoome ol me—of Tobiaa Hardgrip ? Nobody shall marry her! But stop—she's a woman —she'll many somebody ; I declare I never thonght she was so very tall—so muoh as eighteen-till now. Bless my soal I now I tbink of it; she is a full-grown woman. Tbat accounts for all tbe beaux she's Ulking abont lately. But I know she does not oare a pan¬ ful of ashes for tbo beat of tbem. She oan't marry without my consent. Nonsense 1 if a woman wanta to marry, she'll do it—there's no holding hor. Besides, I struck that clause of tbe will ont. What on earth .will become of me wben Lanra marries ? 1 mnst begiu to tbink about that. Bnt I hate the idea 1 Sbe shan't marry I"
All tbat day, till five o'clock, Tobiaa brood¬ ed over tbe thought, and once caught-bimself entering upon his ledger tbis singular and mystic merchandise.
" Suppose Laura ahould marry Tobias Hard- grip?"
"Bless my soull I never dreamed of tbat!" said Tobias, blnshing very red, and looking abont bim in alarm. " If old Bilks, my book-keeper, should see that entry, he wonld rnn me to death—I shonld never hear the last of it. Oh I no—that is foolish. I am forty-three and she is eighteen. Twenty- one years are a long jump between man and wife. Besides, that wonld not be treating her like my own fiesb and blood. Bless me ! yes it would! If I marry her she will be 'flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone !' I am getting silly. Say, Mr. Bilks, do I look old I" " Not at all," said Bilks, who was sixty- two, and who considered Tobias ratberyoung man.
On bis way home Tobias laid several wagers witb several of bis acquaintances tbat none of them could guoss his real age.
" Forty," said one; "thirty-eight," said twO; " thirty five," said tbree; " forty-nine," said four; '¦ sixty," said five ; and Tobias refnsed to discount five's note tbe very next day.
When bo reached his house Tobias found Orlando Tompkins and Lanra Bordan chatting away as merrily as if they had known each otber ten years.
" Why, nncle " said the fascinating Or¬ lando.
" Don't call me uncle," cried Tobias, rather snappishly. " I am not your unole." You see, your mother's mother had a daaghter which daughter is your annt, when your grandfather married my father—you under¬ stand."
"Ob, perfectly," said Orlando, who was completely mystified by this genealogical in¬ formation, and who despaired of ever seeing through it. " Well, Mr. Hardgrip, you told me tbere was no one at bome exoept a liltle girl. I find here a magnificent woman—dem^ my!" and Orlando made a crescent of his back, and a love battery of his eyes.
" Did yon ? Bless my soul, I think so too,'' said Tobias, wbo began to hate the son of Mrs. Tompkins, aud wished him and bis brass buttons in the Red Sea.
Laura, who was a very lovely and amiable young lady, and wbo bad been reared almost isolated from tbe world, bad never known ber guardian to be so enthusiastically compli¬ mentary as be was tbat evening. He beat Orlando "all hollow," and that cerulean and brazen gentlemau retired that night with tbe impression upon bis mind that Tobias Hard- grip could talk faster and more to thepnrpose tban any two men that he had'ever met.
"Demmyl" aaid Orlando, as be tumbled into bed and drew.tbe cover up to his nose,'' " Demmy, I believe the gnardy loves the ward I No wonder j she's deuced pretty, and rayisbingly artless. That Tobias Hardgrip is not a bad looking fellow,,'either. Ho don't look over thirty-three, and I know he mnst be nearer fifty. It's strange bow some of these old fogies preserve theiryouth and good looks, while we youngsters of twenty-three look sixty at thirty. I must quit smoking. Demmy! I must give it up, or my face will look like a dried oyster, in five years."
Yes, Mr. Oriando Tompkins, give up smo¬ king, hard drinking, late bours, gambling, and Beveral other fashionable amusements of tbat spindle-sbanked,,dis3ipated demon, call¬ ed Yonng America, and there will be a faint hope left for yon to see yonr fortieth tirth- day.
A week, two weeks, three weeks, passed on, and still Orlando lingered at tbe hospita¬ ble house of Tobiaa, his presence beginning to hannt that worthy gentleman as the Demon did I'anst.
"lam afraid sbe loves him," said Tobias to himself. " I know he loves her—fortune, What in——(bless my soul I I believe I swore mentally)—why didn't I leave that condition in the will ? or, as it wasn't there, why did 1 not insist upon its insertion ? I am afraid I ahall grow savage, and wish the young rascal in some place whose name be¬ gins with an H—Halifax, Hamburg, or Havre de Grace, or—bless my aoul t any other place that has H at the hilt."
Tobias offered Orlando ten thousand dollara to set him np in basiness in the Sandwich Islands, or in Porto Rico, if he wonld start immediately. Bnt Orlando grinned a decided negative, while Laura seemed to become more infatuated with him every day.
"Ten thousanddollars I" said Mr. 0. Tomp¬ kins ! one night as he tumbled into bed and drew the aheet up to his nose. "Ten thoa¬ sand crab-apples I The girl ia worth, they say, nearly half a millioD. She is deucedly taken with me—I am eure of it. Tobias ia sharp, but Orlando Tompkins is sharper.— Not my uncle, eh ? Before long he shall be glad to claim me. I Uka this digging for gold in pleasant parlors, and in handsome gardensi and in a lovely damsel's eyes, better than in the mnd and water of California. Bless my soul! as Tobias says, it is mnch more agree" able to all parties."
While Orlando was soliloquising in this complacent mood, a dialogue was going on be¬ low in the parlor, where Tobias was'sitting with his beautifni ward.
^obias woald have burned daylight before Orlando shoald out-sit him. •* Laura, I have something very important to tell you," said Tobias, who had beeu revolving a plan iu his mind to solve all doubts.
" What is it, papa f" aaid Laura, taking a seat upon the aofa by his side, and resting her dainty, snowy hand npon his stout and handsome shoulder.
" Bieaa my soal I don't call me papa I I am not yonr papa," said Tobias, upon whom thia affectionate and filial appellation splashed like a bucket of cold water.
" Why, I have called you so for so many years," said Laura, in astonishment.
"Not 80 very many, my dear girl; only eight.    Call me Toby."
"Toby! hal hal Whataridicnlousname/ and the little handa and little feet of Mias Laura danced with merriment.
" Toby Hardgrip is not a name to be laughed at. Looks very well when signed to a check for a hnndred thousand orao—ble s my soul I goes well too. But Laura, what do people do wheu they get married ? Where do they go f" " I have heard that they go away somewhere and live together, never caring for any one except eaoh other. Papa—I mean Toby—I deolarelcan'tcallyouToby," laughed Laura. " Never mind that, call me Pudding-head, as that monkey Tompkins oalled me once. I heard him! Bless my soul I I am going to marry."
"Ton  are  going to marry I" exclaimed j Laura. I    '* Why not.   Blesa my soul.   I am not too
old. Only forty-three, and there's more pith in me than In ten suoh lath.-! as that fellow up j stftirs.   Say, yon minx, am I too old 1" ;
" No, not too old," said Laura, slowly and monrotully, " but I thought—"
"Eh! whatdidiyou think! Bless my aoul," oried Tobias, springing up. I suspect you thought nobody would have me. I know six —six 1 I know sixty-six that would jump at me."
" I do not mean that. I mean—tell me, dear gaardian, for you shall always be'dear to me, married or single, can I not love you enoagh ? Must you go marry to be lovad ?" said Laura, turning the ful! blaze of her bril¬ liaut beauty upon him.
" Yes ; you call me Papa, and love me as a Papa.. I hate Papas 1 I want to marry ! lam rich, not old, good looking, strong, healthy, and—yes, bless my Boul. I may venture to say, good natured. I must marry. Yoa'll be at the same, before long, and I shall be left alone.   Bless my soul I I cannot live alone 1"
Laara, blashing and trembling like a rose- leaf fluttering io the breeze, rose from the sofa, approached the handsome bachelor^ placed her soft hands npon his oheeks, aud gazing up into hia good looking face with those bewitching blue eyes of hers, said :
*\Will you marry me, Toby ?"
"Bless my aoul I Do you mean it?" ex¬ claimed Tobias, who felt, he afterwarda said, as if somebody had emptied a bowl of Uve aula between hia neck.and shirt.
" I do mean it—as I am a woman. I know you love me. X have known you so long and know you so well, guardy, and love you so much, and have loved you ao long, do you think that I can live away from you ?"
" But—bless my aoul, thia is pleasant— but him np stairs—I mean Orlando Tomp¬ kins."
"I detest him. I never wish to see him again," said Laura, almost sinking with the emotion she had grappled.
" That's just my opiuion. It will be mach more agreeable to all partiea. And so you will marry Toby Hardgrip ! Did you love me all this time ?" cried Tobias, who was higher in Heaven than Mahomet ever soared, and who was now seated upon the aofa with Laura by bis sido.
" Yes; for years. And isn't it a shame that I bave beon forced to ask you to marry me?'* said Laura, pedtUng her burning oheeka iu | Tobias' bosom.
" Bless my soul, no!    I never would have dared to ask you to marry me—^besides this is Leap year, and that makes it muoh more < agrt^eable to all parties." '
TLe following morniug Orlando Tompkins, on descending to his breakfast,   at eleven o'clock, found to his surprise that Tobias and Laura were awaiting his tardy approach at I the table.
" So you both slept late, too. Well, that's clever; we can all breakfast together, eh, Miss Bordan ?" said he, seating himself.— " Why, Mr, Hardgrip, you are dressed like a bride-groom."
" Bless my soul," said Tobiaa, amiling from head to foot, " I am one. While you were snoozing up stairs, I went oat a bachelor and came back a benedict."
"Demmel yondon'tsay so. Why, where's tho bride ?"
"Here, at yonr service, Mr. Tompkins.— Will you take tea or coffee, or chocolate this moruing," said the blashing Laura, and with eyes much brighler than the silver tea-pot.
"No, r thank yoa," said Orlando, rising, and very white, " I thiuk I'll take my depar¬ ture.   Demmel"
'' Bless my soul I thaVs much more agreea¬ ble to all parties,^' said Tobias, as Orlando " mizzled."

SLEEP AND STUDY,
We are happy to.learn that the Principle ofthe wellknown Female Seminary at South Hadley, Mass., "after dne deliberation as to the propriety of such a departure from an old time castom," has decided to give youug ladies under his tuition oue half hour more of sleep in the morning.
Withiu a very receut time we have observ¬ ed, with pleasnre, a disposition to reform, in the education ofthe youug, mauy old-faahion¬ ed absurdities, and to resolutely bring up pupils according to the laws of health and of plain common sense. Prominent among these absurd errors is the idea that sleep is quite a trivial matter—that peraons ofgreat virtue, industry, and who are economical of time, sleep very little, and that in fact the higher wo rise in the scale of excellence and intelli gence, the leas we sleep. Let the reader reSect calmly on the anecdotes whicb he has board of great men, and of the masses of ad¬ vice ou the subject which he may have read in books for the young, and ask himself whether all the world have not anited in droning out one song on thesubject. " Sleep is the twin brother of Death. Every moment devoted to sleep is a golden spark of life sto¬ len from thought. Sleep little and you will! sleep much." To this tbey add dire anec¬ dotes of Lord Brougham, who only sleeps four hours per diem, and quote the unwhole¬ some example of students who waste the midnight oil over "tomes"—as ifany man who ever lived could not find sunlight enough, taking the year through, to study himself Wind witbont ever burning oil or gas. Really we pity Milton's blindness much less when we recall his very silly, sentimental, and vain romantic wish that his lamp might be seen at the midnight hour from some high, lonely tower, where he might long outwatch the bear. If the poet had gone to bed at 10, and gol up at 7 or 8, he might have saved his eyes aud done much more work in the end.
Twist and turn it as we may, wo cannot get over the fact that just so far as you bend a spring forward, just so far it must fly back. Tbe energies of mind and body differ iu no respect from aspring. Wbetherpeople weary the mind by study or the body by exercise, makes no difference whatever. And to de¬ prive a growing animal, be it girl, or other organism, of a cerlain quantum of food, ex¬ ercise, sleep and relaxation, is to injury her, his or ils health. There is no getting over this. And health is absolutely and perfect¬ ly indispensable. No acquisition of knowl¬ edge, no cultivation of intellect, no promotion i of morals, even which involves in the slight¬ est degree the injuring of physical health, is justifiable—that is to say, we believe that in the long run aU intellect and all sound mor¬ ality sufferin irritated or morbidly unbalanced frames.
What should we think of a teaoher who punished pupils by giving them large and positively injnrous doses of nauseous drugst such as castor oil and emetics? Yet we, many years ago, knew of such a case. What an idiot should we judge the man to be who would lock a pupil up in a oloset, tight as a coffin, BO tight aa to stiffen the limhs and al¬ most suffocate? Common sense teaches ns that all these disciplines are wrong, becanse unhealthy. Why shonld we look with more toleration on subtracting from waking ener¬ gies by abridging the period of sleep? Closely alUed to this subject, as regards education, we have the infamous system of over-working pupils during working houia, aud cnltivating tho intellectnal system, withoat regard to tbe physical. We have been pleased to see tbal of late this oue-sid«d exhausting system haa received attention iu our cily, and is in a way for reform.
We often hear tbe question pnt in prose, aa we have seen it in poetry, *' Why are the beautiful so rare?" Why is it that amoug so many men we see ao few haudsomti ones, wheu experience shows that temperance, ex¬ ercise, and absence of cares, with, as life ad¬ vances, a dne cuUivatton ofthe higher facul¬ ties and feelings, are snre to result in and preserve good looks? The fact is that people are too ignorant of all the main truths of the laws of health. A vast majority stiP beli«v« that very Uttle sleep is positively bennficial to health—Bulwer sets forth the absurdity in hia last novel, and declares that so long as we rise early it makes no difference when we go to bed. A f^w years will probably aee a great dissemination of tmth aa regards laws of health, and their applioation to edncation.
" George," aaid his teacher, one afternoon, " I wlah yon would arrange your drawing materials in b, little better order."
"I was intendins to do so, Mr. Wilton," replied George, " bot I haven't the time."
"Take time, then," returued Mr. Wilton. " 'Order is the first law of heaven,* and it ahoald also be the firat law of earth. When you commeuced your drawing thia afternoon, yon had been jnat i ne half hour looking for your implements, and even then you were forced to borrow, not because you had none ofyour own, bnt because you oould not find them. It is a lamentable fact tbat a bad practice indulged for a time, becomes a bad habit, and like an infectious disease, aoon contaminates the other faoulties."
George AtweU waa a frank, good-tempered hoy, BtndiouB aud obedient in achool, and in truth industrious, but hia industry consisted iu hurrying to overtake time already loat.
"I haven't the time," was his excuse for any neglect of duty ; and so good waa he in his disposition, tbat his fault was passed over by his widowed mother, who doted on her boy.
" George, will you fasten the hinge on the garden gate?" asked hia mother, one mom¬ ing.
"I haven't the time, now, mother. I shall be late at sohool if I wait to do it, for I have had to hurry so about that wood I conld not cut last night; hut I will fix it after school."
" There, mother," said George, as ha was about lo retire, "I forgot all about that hinge; but, however, I hadn't the lime to fix it to- uieht. Never mind, I'll do it in the morning." George aroae early, aud on repairing to the garden, a aad sight waa presented. ^The cat¬ tle, finding the brokeu gate uo obstruction, had entered the garden, trampled the beds, broken down or eaten the vegetables, while a score of pigs had finished the work of destruc¬ tion so well begnn.
George wept with sorrow and vexation, hut soon consoled himself with the thoaght that it was no fault of his, for he ahonld certainly have mended the gate if he had only had the lime.
" Mr. Browning wishea to engage a boy in hia store this winter, and I think George would suit him," aaid Mr. Eaaton, a neighbor, to Mrs. AtweU.
" I should be glad if George could get the place, bat I fear ho will not sacoeed in obtain- i ing it," returned Mrs. AtweU. I
"I tookthe liberty lo recomraeul George and ho has only to apply before others."
George was mnch deUghted with the idea, aud determined lo secure the place. ** I would go and see Mr. Browning to-night," said he, " but I must attend to that note and I shall not have time."
This note had been the cause of much un¬ easiness lo George and his mother. Itwas a note of §50 given to Mrs. AtweU by Jamea Cutter, a man to whom George had aold some cattle without making mach inquiry into his responsibility."
" He seemed so pleasant'and honest," George said ; hut then he should have inquired of Major Lewis abont his character if he could have fouud time."
Cutter waa a dishonest mau in the true sense ofthe word. Whenever the law had its hold on him, be was honest lo the letter, but the spirit was auother thing. He had given George his note payahle;in sixty days, and when the time of payment came, lo I he held no property, aud George could not col¬ lect the note. StUl ho talked very plausibly, ackuowledged the debt, and agreed lo pay whenever he should beoome able.
At length a friend of Mrs. AtweU informed her of some property that Cutter aeoretly held, and advised her to urge the matter on and collect the debt. George was sent, but so many things were^behind their time, and be delayed so long, that Cutter found that his secret was known, aud agaiu eluded the I paymeut.
Disappointed in this, he resolved, at least, lo secure, the situation with Mr. Browning, and made au application to that gentleman, " I am very sorry," replied Mr. Browning, "but Ihave just engaged James Langdon. I .should havo preferred you, for your neigh¬ bor, Mr. Easton, spoke very highly of your honeaty and faithfulness, and if you had only come last eveuing, you should have had the place.
"I tried to oome," said Genrge, really dis¬ appointed, "but I Iftidn't the timt-."
"Iu such a caae I would take tiuie," said Mr. Browning. "I should have seut lo you, but Mr. Easton told me he would call at your house and let you know of the chance, and I thought if yon wished the place you would come instantly."
"I do declare, mother," said George, that night, after recounting his ill auccess, " what a pity that we haven't time to do what we want lo! If I could have had seen Mr. Browning last night, I should have had that place; and for want of a few moments' time our garden is destroyed, and Cutter has slip¬ ped out of that note agaiu. This time is prdcioua stuff."
"Precions, indeed," replied his mother; "bnt do not most of our troubles arise from neglecting to do things in their proper time? The betier way isto " defer not till to-morrow what shonld be done to-day;' and if yon will only remember that there is a time for every¬ tblug, aud wUi do everything in its time, the difficulty wiU be avoided."
Firmly as George reaolved to foUow his mother's advice, it was but a few weeks before a valuable horse waa drowned, because the busy boy had not time to cover the well in the lot.
When he became a man, he lost his farm by not having time to inquire into the validity of the title. Then his house was burned, and, alas ! it was not insured; the policy had expired a few days before, and he had not found time to have it renewed.
tOriginal.] A SCHOOL ^SITATION.
A year or two aince we had occasion to visit a sohool in a neighboring county. It was what might be caUed a large school of girls and hoys; of aU ages and grades, within the hounds of law. In that place it was the model achool, and the teacher was mentioued, aa being the best "schoolmaster" they had for several years. Of course we felt an un¬ usnal interest in visiting this school. We expeoted to gain aome new ideas and in this we were not much mistaken.
We proceeded to the school immediately after it had heen called to order. It waa held in a long room that had formerly heen naed for a carpenter ahop and was unlalhed aud unplastered. Two long tablea with a row of benches nn eaoh side, two benches without any table or desk, for thea-b o-d-ari- au9, au extra bench for the reciting claas to sit on; the teacher's desk and chair, with two large "whattlea" underneath the desk, con- atitnted the school furniture.
We accepted the proffered chair aud waited in silence to see the working of the school. Soon the lat class iu Geography was called out. This was the signal "for a general rush for the olass benoh behind the teacher's cbair and desk. It seemed that the first one that conld be so Incky as to get to the bench so as lo gel the end aeat was bead, and the next, next to head and so on, and the luckless wight who was last to take 'his or her seat waa of conrse foot. In this scuffle there was some considerable "scrouging," puUiug, jerk¬ ing, cross words, disputing of places. A few sharp words from the teacher, aided by his slapping one of his heavy switches upon the desk, soon restored peace and quiet. For a moment you could have heard even a loud whisper.
The teacher then half reclined upou his desk with his back towards hia achool. The elbow of his right arm being upon his desk, he supported his head by his right hand, with his thumb under hia cbJn and his hand over his mouth. In this attitude he brought most of his weight upon his desk. The questions were asked, and answered withont, appareutly, much attention on hJs part, for he made no corrections, and the qaestion passed as thongh answered correctly, nnless observed by eome one in the class who is anxious lo get up, and thereupon he or she wonld hallo, out "that ain't right," and "the next" wonld be the response from the teaoher. " I said that," criea the unfortuuate one; "no you didn't," says theone helow him, " yes I did, I said the same you did, now ?" " There, quit your noise." And the teacher passed on to the next question.— "Master Jim wants to go above me, and I answered it right, so I did." " Jim keep ynnr aeat, and Sarah be quiet." In the midat of thia dispute, the scholars behind his back are very busy taking advantage of his inat¬ tention, and have become very busy play¬ ing tricks upon one another. " Ouch," crtoa one little urchin ; at this the teacher starts np and grasps one of his long birches, and makes a drive at the offending pupil, bringing his great switch down with such force as to raise the pupil some distance from his aeat. Amid hia tears and sobs, he complained bit¬ terly that Tim stuck a pin into him. Tim gets tbe next severe cut, aud stoutly denies having anything to do with it. He saw Tom leave hia seat and do something to little Harry.— So Tom gets the next blow. This has tbe effect lo produce atillness again, and tben order reigned supreme for a few moments.
His reading and grammar classes were heard to recite about tbe same way. When told to take their seata, there was another scramble, pushing and shoving, accompanied with a war of words. Another flourish of the said switch, and order was restored in the school. Daring the recitation of these classes the same recumbant position was assumed as with the first, and the questions, as they came from his smothered mouth, were, to us, somewhat unintelligible. Perhaps thia pe¬ culiar position was owing to our haviug occupied his chair ; and no doubt if he had occupied it we should have had au illustration "u la-mode diiS Amcriqne."
Whenever the class was through with ils recitation and he questioned eaoh one to know how many each missed, a geueral dis¬ puting and contradicting took place, which was subsided in the usual way, hy a display or positive use of the birch. The whole school seemed to try to see who could make the most confusion, but when the shool¬ master went around, striking here and there with hia loug whip, he evideutly reigned supreme for the time heing, although tbere aeemed to be confusion worse coufounded, but this soon settled iuto momentary quiet.
This picture ia not quite aa vividly drawn as the scene is fresh upon our memory. It was indeed a leason to us, and one that we often think of and are benefited by it.

IDLE BOYS!
Come ye idle boys, ye loungers who hold np tbe sign posts and honse corners with yoar backs, here in is a nut for you to crack from the Christian Advocate :
'• He who is idle and vicious in school is still more so when he leaves it. He who fires squibs, will in time fire pistols. He who plays cards for sport, will, if he turn not, play ere long for money. He who robs hen roosts and orchards, will probably some day rob safes and gocket-books. He may not do it in tbe way to expose himself to the peni¬ tentiary ; he may have his wits ao sharpened as to rob legally, by setting np a wildcat bank, or betraying the confidence of his em* plover, or obtaining the possession of proper¬ ty without the means of paying for it, or by getting his hand upon tbe public coffers, that he may fill hia own, under lhe soft appella¬ tion of " breach of trust."
" I would tbat yon could see with my eyes for a little while, you wonld then think with me,, that he who, when a boy, conld notbe trasted, cannot now that he is a man. It would not be proper for me to mention names, or I could illustrate this by numerous pain¬ fal examples. But they are not necessary. Effect will follow cause—as a man sows, so shall he reap, boyhood is the seed-time, of wbich manhood is the harvest.
" As, therefore you love yonrselves, form tbe habit, while young, of employing all yonr time usefully, never be unemployed. The land is fall of idlera, atriving to Uve without labor. It is not to be supposed that yoa are never to take recreation; this is ase¬ ful, it is necessary—but ifit come after hard study or productive labor, it will probably be healthful and moderate. An,bonorable mind, in the desire of mere relaxation, will not go forth in forms of mischievous exertion. It is not to be snpposed that a boy is to be a man, mnoh less be an old man; bnt, in the midst of hia mirth and hilarity, he may be innocent and amiable."
SELF MADE MEN.
It ia quite idle to speak of men who distin¬ guish themselves as wanting in education. They are generally well and highly educated men. Bnt the edncation has been peculiar; and the result of habitual practice, a fortu¬ nate experience, and generally in cons^onance with the direction which their innate endow¬ ment will take. Of course, we are to under¬ stand, in liminie, that all such are gifted men. But, farther, we beg to say to onr readers generally, that all men who creatiy distinguish themselves, are, under God, self made men. No man ever yet rose to real greatness of achievement through the help¬ ing hands of others. Scbools and colleges are simply the means by which we acquire the free use of certain tools of thought; and witb these we are to work out the develope¬ ment of our peculiar gifts or endowments-— Hence we go through an apprenticeship which disciplines the understanding; makes thongbt easy; provokes and stimulates exerci.se in thoaght, and makes expressions comparative¬ ly facile. Tbe great purpose of education is, really and briefly stated, to enable au animal, assuming him to be a thinking auimal, to exercise his facalty of thought with confidence, ease and energy. And this educatiou—the elements—is so conceived and contrived, with a general object, as to adapt itaelf to the ne¬ cessities of every form of mind, however di¬ verse and various. Now any practice, asso¬ ciation or mode of life, which sball involve experience among men, and the hab.tual ex¬ ercise of the individaal, in auy human occn¬ pation, will constitute a sufficient school for the development of any faculties in any well- endowed mind. Tbey do not make tbe faculties—they cannot confer the gift; it is innate, and comea from God :—but tbey will suffice to goad it into exercise and activity, and with perseverence will make it fruitful. There is nothiug tanght in school orlcollege which shall make a great man-make poet, ora¬ tor, statesman, artist or engineer-if the native endowment be not there. They may give the impulse and provide certain helps and facul¬ ties, whioh shall shorten the term of probation but they can do no more. And the education of the individual after he has left sohool and college, has only properly began. The rest he mnst do for himself. Ask any remarkable man, even after he has had the best educa¬ tion the country affords, in what degree his schooling haa contributed to the special de¬ velopment which he has suhs(>queutly made, and for which the world will call him great, and he will tell you—"little or nothing."— The work must be his own. It sometimes happens, indeed, that schools and colleges will hurt the successes of some peculiarly en¬ dowed individual; hy coercing his regards to duties and objects which are inconsistant with the nataral direction of his mind ; and in es¬ caping this danger lies the advantage, in some cases, of individuals who owe nothing to the schoola. But if, what we vulgarly know as edncation, rarely helps the endowment, it as rarely hurts. Onr scholastic training, such as it is, is very absurdly made a bugbear. It ib seldom sufficiently exacting, in tbia coantry to scare an school hoy in the lowest form.— All great men are always self-made.
The aaying that "there ia more pleasure in giving than in reoeiving," is supposed to apply ohiefiy to Moha, medicine and adrioe.
