The piotare wrongbt by tbe excited imagin- atioD of Mr. Fleetwood was so dreadfikl to look npon that be covered bia faoe witb bis barde aurl shuddered. Bit) wife did not offer any wordct of comfort; for npon bar own beart bad fallen au almost snffooating fear. Personal sacrifice bad uo terrors for Mrs. Fleetwood.— Very brave woald she have been tinder any of tbe oommon visitations of worldly disaster. Bat tbe thoaght of a dishonored name ofthe buEband of wbom she bad been so proad,
"Ruined !—iuit»ed !—ruiueil !" was the ' wildly uttered fKcIaiuuiioa of Mr. Fleetwood, as he cauiM lia.stily into the mom whwrH his yonng wifH r^at embmidering a scarf; atid, throwing hiiu^rtir at full leugth upou tbe sofa, bn bid bis fact', aud lay shuddtriug like oue iu an aG;nH fit.
The u«edlework dniiipcd from the hands of Mrs. Fleetwofid, aiid-for a tuoment or two sha sat Uka ona paral.vzed. Ttmn, risiug hastily, she spraug acrosa tha room, and, dropping ou bar kuees beside her hu.sl);iud, put bar arm aronnd his ueck, andsaid, ".Ob, Edward I Edward ! what has bappauad ?" Bnt tha ouly response she received was a groan so lull of anguish, that it seut a shudder throngb her beart.   " Speak, Edward I" sba said.
"Ruiued!" he replied; **liop»*lessly ruin- el !'»
" Oh, E Jward, look up ! Let me sae your face, dear bnsbaud." Aud sbe tried to lay ber cheek down agaiust his, but be kapt his face tamed from bar.
Very, very pale was Mrs, Fleetwood, as she raised herself from a kneeling posture, aud, drawing a chair to the sofa, sat down, and again laid bar baud npou her husbaud. Ooe year she bad beau a hride ; aud tbis was tbe first clond wbicb bad darkened ber sky—tbe first cload ; but it held a desolating tempest witbin its bosom.
The wifrt's deep love bad given streugtb to ber beart already, and ber voice was regain¬ ing firmness. "Edward," she said In tones Strangely confident, "not ruined; that is im¬ possible!"
" Possible and actual," be answered, witb less agitation, bat in a low, solemn voice.
" Again I say impossible, Edward," said Mrs. Fleetwood, ber voice growing yet firmer. Mr. Fleetwood slowly raised bimself from bis recumbent position on the sofa, and look¬ ed into his wife's face. A cry of fear parted her lips, and sbe said, hasiily, " Oh, Edward yon, are ill 1"
" I am heartsiuk—beartbrukan in despair, Anna!"
" M7 precious husband !"—the tones of Mrs. Fleetwood were overburdened with the tenderest love—"dou't say beartbroken— don*t aay iu despair—don't say mined. God ia in heaven, and yoa are still a man !"
"By a suddenly falling and unexpected blow, Anna, I am stricken to the earth. My all is scattered to tbe winds."
"Bat the man is safe!" said Mrs. Fleet¬ wood, tbrowing in tbe sentence, and iu a voice almost exaltant.
Mr, Fleetwood looked at his wife balf wond¬ eringly. A light seemed at the moment to break in upon bim,. and he replied, "Yes, Anna, the mau is safe, I trust. Tbere has baen no defect of honor."
" There could ba uoue, Edward ; aud there¬ fore I said, 'not ruiued; that is impossible V Witb bonor ou yoar side, dear hasband, and love DU miua, uur little world is safe. No enemy can darken our door."
"I bless you for tbose words, dear Auua!" said Mr. Fleetwood, bat not witb tbe air of a man wbo felt relieved from tba pressure of a beavy burden. "Yoarcoaraga,your patience, will give strength in the boars of weakness that ara sure to come.   But let ma tell you tbe wbole truth in plain words ; aud then you will not wonder that the blow bas  stricken me down.    My litile forCuua bas been lost by ^ tbe treaabery ofa mau iu who.^e  integrity I ^ oonfided, and tor wbom I hava dona  what I I would never have done for myself—used the | official signature ofthe couipauy of wbich I ! am manager, for purposes uot of its legitimate I basiness.    1 learned  of bis failure an  hour i
smota her like a dagger.
"Sometbing mnst be done!" It was the wife's voice tbat broke the silence. " Some¬ tbing must ba doue, Edward! Dishouor ? Never! uever 1" And her slight furm lifted itself np. Hope and conrage were begiuning to revive. "This suddan shock bas prn.^tra- tedyou,dear husband!" ahe added in acalmar voice. "Yon will recover streuRth .''oou, and witb strength will come purpose. The will, I have often beard you say, is creative. Yours will be, I am sure. Tljis sword, sus¬ pended by a siugla hair, sbalt uor fall."
Bnt Mr. Fleetwood only shook bis head mournfally, and auswered," At any other time there would be bopa. At auy other time I could bava mat this threatened evil and tri Umpbad. Now, Anna, even to struggle were folly. Everything is iu coufnsion. Fortunes, the accumulation of years, a/e cmmbling iuto dnst,; mutnal confideuca is de.stroyed ; a frightful panic is sweepiug over tbe land.— Meu wbo would hava opeued tbeir purses to me freely a mouth ago are now iu extremity. No, no, Anna ! It is vain to look for help.— Tbe breakers are just ahead, and onr good ship is drifting fast upon them. No bnman arm can save ns."
Slill the young wife would uot abandon bopa.
*' I will trast in Heaven to bring you a safe deliverance," were bar words aome boars later. " No wrong was intended, aud there¬ fore I must believe tbat tbe dreaded conse¬ quences will not ha permitted to fall witb their crusbing weight upon yon. Two months yet remain, if I understand you, bafora tba bills become due."
" A littla lass tbau two months," he replied. " A great deal may be done in two 'nouths, Edward.    "Oh, do uot despair!"
"Dear comforter!" said Mr. Fleetwood, lookiug dowu npon the fajce of his wife. "I should hardly deserve tbe nama of man, were I lo give up wholly, witb your sweet solicita¬ tions to exert myself filling my ears. Bnt what, what can I do ? I stand at tbe foot of a tall monntain, the aea on either band ; and stretching my gaze fer away upward, I see only a perpendicalar wall of rock. I have uo wiugs, aud cauunt rise, like the eagle, and escape tbe danger that is hastening towards me, and tbreaening swift destruction."
" lu whose possesaion are the bills ?" asked &Iis. Fleetwood, desiriug to give direction as well as aotivity to ber basbaud's miud.
" Tbey are gone wholly beyond my reach," was the answer. " Instead of being left in the hands wbera tbey were first placed, as collateral secnrity,they bave beeu discounted —tbe original obligation of five thonsand dol¬ lars bas been paid, and tbe balance of tbe money appropriated by my false friend. They stand now as any otber debt of tha compauy, and, as I have said^ are wholly be - yond my reacb."
"Would it not be well," suggested Mrs. Fleetwood, " to find ont who baa tbem ?"
"I can see no good result likely to flow from tbat knowledge," replied ber husbaud. If tbey were discoonted at the bank,tbere is only one way to recover tbem, and tbat is for me to take tbem np in advance of the time when due. If tbey are jn tbe grasp of some money-lender, tbe case is quite as bopeless." But Mrs. Fleetwood urged her basband to find out who beld tbe bills, ifit were possible to gain accurate intelligence respecting tbem. ' Then," said sbe, " we can measure tbe fall magnitude of the evil and find the way of es¬ cape, if that be possible."
"It is impossible, Anna," retarned Mr. Fleetwood, almost impatiently.
" Forgive me, Edward," said bis wife, bar eyes filling witb tears; "but I caunot cease to urge tbis tbipg npon you. Hopa only lies in tba repioyal of these bills ont of the way. First,then, we must learn where tbey are."
" Wa!" said Mr. Fleetwood, aud bis voice had iu it a tone of cnrious interest
"Yes, we, Edward." There is too mncb at atake DOW foryou to reject, or ev^n think lightly of aid or counsel, come from wheuce it may. Even a woman may suggest some¬ thing by wbich a man may profit in an ex¬ tremity like this, thougb the oommon lan¬ guage of business may be to ber a strange langnage. Again, then, let me urge yon to find out wbere tbese daugerons bills are Lo be found."
" I will know era sleep closes my eyes tbis nigbt 1" aaid Mr, Fleetwood, speaking, a few minates afterwards, from tbe ardor of a sud¬ denly formed purpose.
"Let it be tonight, tben if possible," re¬ plied his wife. " Tbe quicker the truth is kuown, the better "
" I need not say, be very circumspect, Ed¬ ward," were the wife's parting words, as her husband left ber that evening; for sbe saw au unusual sternness in bis face, as if some desperate resolntiona were forming.
Thank you for your caution I I need it,'i

'* It ia never aafe to swindle beyond a oar- t^.Iine, Jolfn Floyd/* contlnned Mr. Fleet¬ wood, in a lov but stem voioe. " Tou abonld have been content wJtb robbing me ot my lit< tie patrimony ; but'wbeu'you have left no alternative but dishonor, or a remedy like this yoa went ii;8tep too far. So Lam bome now for reatitutlbu/pr retribution."
" In the fiend'a name, wbat do yon want ?'• demanded Mr. Floyd, witha slight ahow of conrage.
" Tbe first thing I want is a retarn of the bills I placed in yoar bauda to be used only as collateral," said Mr. Fleetwoods
" I have already told you tbat tbey are be¬ yond my reach," was the reply.
" It is false !" oried Mr. Featwood, in sud¬ den excitement, darting forward as be spoke, and grappling eagerly at asmall pile of papers tbat lay on the table. The well-known seal of tbe compauy bad caaght his eyes—tbe fatal bills were before him 1 To seize them were tbe work of a moment; in tbe next iustant they were torn in pieces.
" I bave already told you to your teetb, John Fljyd, tbat you are a villain," aaid Mr. Fleetwood, bia strong indignation repressing all exterior signs of agitation. " I meant it in its general acceptatiou ; for I did uot then dream that yiiur heart yaa corrupt enoagh for a deed like this. To tnrn awav from a frieud wbom yoa have led into danger ia bad enough; but to betray bim to rnin is the actof a fiend. Bnt, thauk H^^avan ! I am uow safa l>eyond yonr power lo do ma harm."
Recovering a littla from fais bewilderment, Mr. Floyd uow advanoed towards Mr. Fleet¬ wood iu a ibreateuiog manuer; but tbe latter stood immovable, regarding bim with a look of sucb indignant scorn, that his eye quailed aod he stood still.
" My basiness here is ended," said Mr. Fleetwood, moviug backwards towards. the door, yet keeping his eyes still upon Floyd— " is ended more easily tban was anticipated, and without the consequences I bad feared. I leave you to the enjoymeut of your ill-gottan gains, if tbat ba posKible, and go fortb to try tbe world agaiu, but with a claar conscience and an nutamisbad name."
The key was in tha door—the bolt sprung —aud Mr. Fleetwood vauished like a spectre from the preseuce of tba confounded man who had betrayed bis coufidanca aud well nigh compassed tha ruin ofhia reputatiou.
Tbe unusual expression wbicb Mrs. Fleet¬ wood noticed on the face of her huabanil at parliug troubled her. Ha had aeemed to arouse np suddenly, as if some new thought had glanced tbrongh bis mind, aud some dea¬ perate purpose baan formed ou the inatant_ He was uo sooner away, thanimagiuation'be- gan to suggest danger. What might be uot ba tempted to do, should he meat tbe man wbo had wronged him i The beart of Mrs. Fleetwood began to tremble.
Half an honr of most painfnl suapense fol¬ lowed the huaband's departure. Then he came iuwithaquiet, avan step, aud ascended to the room wbere bis wife sat awaiting him. She was too weak to rise, forher mind bad created so many terrible images, that fear bad robbed ber of strength. But her eyes were bent eagerly towards the door The face that ap¬ peared there was calm, thougb a littla paler, sbe thougbt tbat wben she looked upon it last. She triad to aay "Edward," but could not.
All at once tbe stroug fatter whicb Mr Fleetwood had placed upou bis feelings broke and springing forward be caught bis wife iu, bis' arms, exclaimiog, " Saved—aaved I dear Anna. I bave foaud tbe billa, and they are cancelled. I tore them into a bandred pie¬ ces—see ? Aud be threw a shower of frag¬ ments iuto tbe air. " And you are tbe causa ofmy preseut happiness, dear wife !" he add¬ ed, iu another tona, kissing ber very teuder¬ ly. '* I aaw no hope of recovering tbose fa¬ tal witnesses. So far I could see they were gone beyond recall. But your urgent prompt¬ ings quickened a naw lifa within me, aud nerved me witb a uew, and, I will own, des¬ perate purpose. I waut to the house of Floyd, resolved to force him iuto terma of aome kind, wheu lo! upoa his table lay the verj bills. He was wickedly bolding tbem for his owu benefit. I snatcbad tbem up, and rent tbem to pieces.
And so tbe fatal witnesses ofa weak,blind, nay, almost cripainal violation of tbe faith ao honorably repoaed in me,bave perished!— Let tbe property of which he has so basely robbed me, go—I will not throw after ii a aingle sfgb of regret, for lam too thaukfal tbat a good name—more precious thau ra¬ bies—is spared to me."

There are yourselves in tbe Old Coonery— three ofyon. H. H. H. a formidable triopod. the rotary cbair topping the couceru for i compass, and swinging around like a "Long- Tom" on board a privateer, sending tbe big type fiying in whatever direction an enemy is to be demoliahed, or a stronghold of iniquity to be battered down. A structure bnilt on souud geometrical principles, tbat oagbt_ to stand firm, bowover uneven the gronud may become.

Walked out alone, plenty of,hungry gnfdea calling vociferously from all qa^ters,'some In oarriagef, Inaisted onahowingme round—needed none. Falls 80 exunsive that yoo can't well help finding them, even ifyou do miatake tbe rapids for them at first. Stood on the bridge that con¬ nects with Bath Island on the Amerioan aide, looked np the rapids, thonght the fountains of the great deep had broken looae and were coming, plunging and dashing and roaring down tbe hill, like thousands of sohool boys upon sleds. All tbe achoola of the universe mnat be altaated juat above, and a continual diamiasion be going on. Looked down the stream aud noticed that the waters all at once got ont of sight. Concluded that, tbat must be tbe place where they go ovar the falls. Look- ad until I thongbt tbe bridge itself was be¬ ginning to move, wbioh was all a mistake— stands solid enoagh, being built of irou.— How it ever oame tbere aeems a qneation.
Walked on past a paper-mill, over anotber small bridge and got iuto the wooda, ttirned to the rigbt and followed a path for aome dis" tance, and theu passed down aeveral steps to the water aide. Ye Heavena I Knew veiy well where I was then—at the edge of the Ameri¬ can falls. Saw wbere the water went too, but not wbare it tonched bottom. Over tbat part of himself Old Stupendous waars a veil of mist; perhaps for the sake of the grand effect it produces when the ann comea to look at bim.
I crept to tbe brink of the precipice and looked down, steadying myself while doing so by keepiug bold of a scrubby little cedar, which seemed to stand npon alim footing itaqlfi and ready to topple over. .Was thinking of Sam Patch and the jumping he done, wheu my impertinacy was sligbtly reproved by a whiff of spray coming sonoe into my face— uo barm done. I withdraw, crossed a small foot bridge aud stood on wbat I believe is known as Prospect Island.
You all know tbat it is situated—partly over fu tbe Amei icau falls, with the waters all around—marked as a mere tuft in the pic¬ tures, but having ou it a cousiderable number of trees, pleuty of shade, and au old rickety bench.
I bad heard and read muoh of Niagara, seeu pictures of tbe plaoe, ao that I bad formed ideas of its size sufficiently large not to be diaappointdd iu that respect. Yet what I had gathered iu this manner, aud wbat was expe¬ rienced when standing amid tbe sublime re¬ ality ; was as different, I suppose, as is the effect produced npou us now by lookiug at Patrick Henry iu Rotharmel'a picture, com¬ pared witb wbat waa wronght upou those wLo were present on tbe occasion, and aaw and heard the man himself.
In crossing that little foot-bridge, and look¬ ing upon the scene for the first time, a new book is opened to you. Nature is aronnd and before you in her grandest type, living, moving, vibrating.
It requires no stretch of the imagiuation to impress you with the idea tbat yoa are enter¬ iug tbe place she bas chosen for ber saootua- ry—that you stand beaide ber mist-veiled altar, wreathed iu clouds of incense, crowned with a halo of bt avenly glory ; upon which she is pouring ber continuous libations, and from wbicb ascends the thunder anthem she has sung through the past ages. Allthat tbe poet Bryant aays of God's first Temples, has ten-fold application here. Your senaee are raised and traoquilized, your emotiona be¬ come grateiul. You feel how little you are, and what posture would uot bo improper there, alona in the shade.
Puny mortals have carved their names one over anothernpon tbe trunks of tbe perish¬ able Beech trees aroaud yon. Tbe Great Eternal bas left bis unmistakable impress in living,glowing charactera upon the place itself. All thia seema to me a sermon spoken by a great preacher, in a language wbicb no doubt tbe ruda Indian bas heard and understood.
Is it a wonder that the vocabulary of that race was euphonious, and tbat their names still linger ou our waters and mountains ?
Are not tbe British falls still more grand— asked one of our boarders—
They are wider, more than donble the quantity of water goes over them, bat view¬ ed from above they lack in the picturesque ; tbe grean islands are wanting, and the inter¬ est is not heightened any after baving seeu the Americau falla, wbich are higher. Below, looking at them from the little steamer tbat takes you up, tbey appear to greater advan¬ tage, and offer more variety. Ou the side nearest tbe Isiaud the bed of the river shelves outward, tbe water flows over it shallow, breaks iuto foam upon the edge, and appears to hang in mid air, like a gigantic curtain of fleeoy drapery, In tbe middle where the fall is said to bave been at one time of tbe shape of a horse-shoe, but wbicb is now worn into an irregular angle, the water flows in an un¬ broken body, deep, green, and terrible to look at, shaking the rery atmospbere arouud you, and heaving tbe little steamer as wilh giant throes. She does not venture near tbis place, bnt on coming opposite it, turns her head down the stream and bonnda away over tbe troubled waters like a frightened wild fowl. In one respeot, only, I was disappointed.— Tbe noise of tbe falls is not as great as I bad anticipated. Though the citizens of the town above do say, that it shakes the doors and windows of their house very mucb when the wiud is iu tbat direction.

PAISENAL GOVEBmpNT.
The responsibllUies attaohiDg'tp the father of a family are far greater than' men ordina¬ rily imagine, and tbey oannot rbe evaded or tranafi^rred. Few raea-'reoogsln'^am and feel their crushing weight; atlll fewer meet tbem and discharge the obligations growiug out of tbem. The State is notbing more tban a oertain number of familiea, and the ohild wbo has been tauKbt to obey the laws of home will be a good citizen of the State; therefore, the fathersin a commonwealth are virtually responsible for the violations of its lawa. Hyenaa, tigers and Polar bears are proverbially kind and loving to their own particular cubs, at least as long as they are snoklinga. Natnrallsta do not inform ns at what preciae age tbe youngsters are weaned and turned out of doors, and tbe family bro¬ ken np; but antil this occurs, we know that tbe "law of kindness" ia the only one in force. These unamiable qnadrupeda pat to shame many two-legged brutes who contiu¬ nally and sydtematioally maltreat their off¬ spring—sheltering themaelves, Hke arrant cowarde, behind the divinely, instituted law, whioh gives them uudiapnted authority over the bodiea and soula of tbeir own ohildren.
For there oan be no government more en tirely arbitrary and despotio than the mle of a father. Tbe realm over which. be reigns may be a narrow one, bnt in it his will is su¬ preme. Obedience to his behests, submiaaion to bis authority, and acknowledgement of hia right to govern, are the first lessons his cfail¬ dren learn, and, therefore, bis infiaence for good or evil may be seeu and felt through many generations; because tbese earliest im¬ pressions are the most lasting, and the well governed child will, in hia turn, have well governed children.
These trnths may seem very common place and stale—and yet there is no trnth more momentoas-~none more nniversally disregar¬ ded. Badly governed homes are tbe.greatest curses in this broad land. Tyranny and pos¬ itive craelty on the one band, and weak in¬ dulgence and foolish laxity on the other, are the fruitful sources of most of the social evila nnder whioh tbis whole country groans. Tbe poisonous example of a father does more to cormpt and demoralize the sou tban a)2^ tbe otber evil infinences to which he is expo¬ sed. There is no theme more constantly discanted npon in all pulpits, and none which meu so habitually dismiss from thetr thoughts. Bnsiness, politics, pleasnre, the counting- room, tbe work-shop, tbe ward-meeting— even the bar-room—all these oooapy bis time and attention, wbile the cfaildren to wbom he stands in the place of 6od—for faa is to them the vice-gereut of God—if not tanght to avoid bis preseuce wbeu in bis house, learn to em¬ ulate bis vices, bia Crimea and his sins.— Verily, the great want ofthe country ia wall- governed homes,
How perfectly idle and pointless, therefore, is the attempt to charge npou oue man, wbo isneither omnipresent uor omniscient, all tba wickedness which degrades and disgraces a 'community, and wbich ia only the product of seed aown at the family hearth. If the pena which are ao busy in the mean occupation of detraction and defamation, were only em-

SCHOOL KXHXBITIOKS.
i The: time for closing the winter term of i Sohools is faat approaching, and the praotice of baviug a School examination or exhibition , at tbe close of school, Is becoming very com¬ mon. And at the preaent time, is being per¬ ceptibly felt by our book-sellers, who gracious¬ ly anpply the demand for "speakers" and " Sohool Dialogues." As the aeaaon for school exhibitions is near at baud, it may not be out of place, to say a few words upon the subject, leaving the thinking teachers to plaoe sncb importanoe upon them, as -they may merit.
Who will deny that it ia very common to aeiect the brightest stars' in the school and have them to blaze forth on some wetl prepared declamation; and illume the school witb tbeir meteorio light. Giving the sohool, uo doubt a very-good name by having anoh amart schol¬ ars. But is it just to judge tbe school by a few flashy fiames ? Is it right tbat a few, wbo commit to memory oaaily; have self-esteem enongh to declaim, witbont manifesting much embarrassment; and with imitation sufficient to follow well the style, gestures, &o., of their instruotior, sbould be the ones, and the exclu¬ sive ones, to make the public display for the whole School ? What encouragement is tbis to tbe slow, but industrious plodding stadent ? Tbe pnpil who has much to do at home, to help bis parents, and none to help bim or render his lessons easy; and bas by diut of bis ovm persevering exertions, to surmount all hia difficulties, and though his steps may be alow but are neverthelesa the more sure, sees that the reward is not to the diligent and industri¬ ous, but to the quick, tbe apt, or the forward, who may be fond of thua showing themaelvea; althongh tbey may be negligent iu all their other studies.
It ia the true duty of tbe teacher, to brighten up the dnll pupils ; explain to them who do not understand; sbow those who have really tried and oan not find; and teach tbe ignorant. Tbat teacher is more worthy of censure than praise, who devotes bis attention to tbose pu¬ pila wbo are ready in committing to memory, apt in copying, and quick in comprehending; and leaves tbe more backward pnpils to them¬ selves, and to fall back from one class to anoth¬ er ; 'making comparatively little progress, be¬ canse tbey are most emphatically discouraged rather tfaan encouraged.
We know tfaat it is much easier, to make a sbow by adopting sucb a courae, and perhaps make more noiae in tbe world as " a great teacher.** Buthe, who devotea his attention more exclusively to the really needy ones, is more useful; thongb less appreciated, for bis labora make less show, yet thera ia more satis¬ faction to him, in dwelling upon his past labors, for he has done more good. ¦ In conclusion we would suggest, tbat this matter be considered by tboae teachers about to have exhibitions ; and tbat efforts ba made to bring ont tbe daller pupils, and take less nottce of tbe bright ones. Observe this same conrse in your examinations. Tbis will re quire aome resolution on the part of tbe teaufa er, for no doubt it may ba considered in tbe

FEIGHTENING CHILDSEN.
We kuow of nothiug more reprehensible, notbing more dangerous and injudicious, than tbe praotice of frightening children in tbe nuraery, at tbe family fireside, aud iu tbe social circle, by retailing to tbem ghost stories goblin tales, and witchcraft Sctious. They receive painfnl impressions from wbicb tbeir nervous system does not recover for yeara, perhaps not during their whole lives.
Childreu andyoung persons bave generally great curiosity iu relation to tbese tales of tbe Imagiuation, especially when tbey are attend¬ ed by some gossiping nnrse, whose head, beiug empty of good sense, baa been filled brim full of ghost legends and black letter recollections.
If tbere is a worse condition npon earth tban that into wbicb this monstrous super¬ stition plunges an imaginative obild, we have no conception of its curdling horrors Never to lay the head upon the pillow, from tbe ' time it is two or three yeara of age, until seven, eigbt, or teu, witbout feeliog the most perfect assurance in its own mind of realizing its own propbeoy, and seeing "ome hideous spectre before momins. This i:i tbe purga¬ tory of early, innocent, and otberu !¦»« bappy cbildhoodl
These midnight horrors bsnnt the imagina¬ tion even to old age. They may lose sotiie- wbat of tbeir painful vividness, tbeir appal ling distinctness—sometbing of tbeir curd¬ ling horror, so potent in its mystery, and so terrific even in its impossibility—bnt these terrors linger in the imagination still, ready to be called up in every suspicions spot, awa¬ kened in every solitude, in spite of all tbe judgment can do or tbe reason can nrge.— For a moment, at certain times, even to old age, tbe beart will throb with painful dis¬ tinctness, the bair will become perpendicular, and a disagreeable shudder will make the blood cold in the veins, even when manhood bas reached ita prime. To be anre, tbe jadg¬ ment soou dispels these unfounded fears, bnt tbey will haunt tbe viotim at times, to bis dying day. These are some of the painfal and deleterious efiects of frightening children in tbe early season of their growtb. How im¬ portant it is that parenta ahould guard them against tbese groundless terrors, exciting the early imagination, and ohainiug the trembling victim to the indescribable agouy of this nervons bondage for all its fatnre life.
a best of mistakes by tbe diffident and less experienced pupils. Weigb tbe -matter well, and consider wbether tbe best good of your scbool will not be better attained and tben having decided upon your course pursue it faUbfully and our word for it, you will hardly ever regret it.

Answer to Problem 20.—The solidity
of tbe smaller cube is 343 inches and  the
solidity of the  larger is 1520^;  side of
smaller 7 inches, side of larger 11,5 inches.
J. B. K.
Solution to Problem 19.—'U lbs. troy= 25920 grains; 20 lbs. avoirclupois=140000 grains; 9.8S lbs. avoirdupoi8:=691G0 grains. Then 25920 gr.+69160 gr.=95080 gr., the weight of box and balls; therefore 140000 —95080=44920 gr., the weight of the water. 44920 gp.=102.674285712 ounces avoirdupois weight. By the table of specific gravity, we find a cubic foot of iron weighs 7645 oz-^1728—4.42419 oz., the weight of a cubic inch of iron. Also a cubic foot of lead 11325 oz.-=-l728=6.55324 oz., weight of a cubic inch of lead. Now let x=the diameter of the balls. Then ,5236x3 = solidity of each ball, .5236x3X6.55324= 3.43I276464x3=weigbtof lead ball. Also .5236x3x4.42419=2.3164687084x3=wt.of iron ball; and 5.7477451724x3=:weight of both balls.
Therefore, 5.7477451724x3=158.08 oz. (9.88 lbs.)' or x=3.0185 inches=diameter of each ball, and x3x.5236=14.40054933 cubic incbes=8oUdity of eacb ball, or 28.- 80109866=solidity of both balls. Again, by table of specific gravity, a cubic foot of water weighs 1000 oz., therefore 102.6742- 85712 O2.=177.4211657068 cubic incbes= solidity of water; therefore the contents of box=206.2222643716 inches, from which by similar solids we find the width to be 3.7519 inches, depth 4.689875 inches, length 11.724687 inches.

The only onre for hopeless affeotioQ ia to discard the artiole forone having a reasonable qnantity of hope. Thus, if Sally Jooea rejeotti jour tender suit, bedanse she is in love with the knoofc-knead barber oppoaite, it will nev¬ er do to talk aboat pistols, arsenic, and cof¬ fins. On the oontrary, you mast draw ou your Sunday suit, extend your aHermanic dignity by a dinner of comed beef and cab¬ bage and go right down to Sasan Snooks, who will teach you that there are more things 'twixt heaven and earth tban yon hare.ever aeen elsewhere.   Take a sample and aee.
The mightiest events of our life may depend upon accident or chance. Old baohelor Briggs had lived fifteen years with widow Snabbs withoat ever exchanging a single pressure of arms or lips, bnt, one evening, a worm ohanced to drop from a beam overhead diieoUy into the bosQm of the widow, oaus^lg her to faint so speedily tbat the poor benediot had barely time to catch her in hia arms.— The ejeotion of tbe animal was effisoted bt- fore the lady recovered, bnt not until an impreaaiob had been made npon tha sasceptl- ble Brigga, which hu; aiBoa ooat hin-^1,600 pvrwnLUBi."
Family Failivgs.^—In many families where both love and good temper prevail, there is what may be called an irksome rather tban a sinfnl mode of carping at and contradicting one another. No harm id meant, and no off¬ ence is taken ; but what can be more irksome than to hear two sisters, for instance, contin- nally setting each other right npon some tri¬ fling pointa, and diSeringirom each another in opiniou for no apparent reason, bat from a habit of contradiction J And sncb a habit does it become that one may sometimes see persons who have acquired it, contradict their statements, just made, the moment any one advances the aame opinion. It is general¬ ly on Bnch trifles that this bad habit shows itself, so that it may seem needless to advert to it; bnt it is a family fault, and should be watched against, for it is an annoyance, thongh bnt a petty ene, never to be able to open your lips withoat being harrassed by such contradictions.

How TO DO Good.—Dr. Johnson wisely says: "He who waits to do a great deal of good at once will never do anything. Life is made up of small things. It is bnt once in an age that occasion is ofiered fordoing a good deed. Trne greatness consists in being great in little things. How are railroads built? By one ahovel of dirt after another; one shovel at a time. Thns, drops make tbe ooean. Hence, we should be willing to do a little good at a time, and never wait to do a great deal ot good at once. If we would do much good in the world, we mnat be willing to do good in little things, little acta one after another; apeaking a word here, giving a tract there, and setting a good example all the time. We mnst do the first thing we can, and the next, and then the next, and aqkeep on doing good. ThiB ia the way to scoprnplish anything.— Thns only shall ^w« do nil.-: the good la onr povir."
BEADING AND DEFINITION.
I do not propose to speak of rhetorical excellence in reading, bat of tbe importance of being able to do it with correctness and fluency. A child sbould be able to read meohanically well, before he is required to reoite a lesson learned from a book. I believe every child can become a fluent and correct reader; and tbe importance of it grows out of the fact that mo^t of oar knowledge is gathered from books. Before the art of print¬ ing waa known, tbose who desired to add to their stock of knowledge, were obliged to travel from city to city, and from one coantry to anotber, to converse with those who knew what they did not. Thia was a long and ex¬ pensive method of acquiring knowledge.— Now we can remain at home, and learn from books all tbat is known on any given subject.
Bnt the boys and the girla tbat read slowly and hesitatingly, do not read mucb. They never undertake to read a volume throngh, beoatise it is a slow and tedions process.— They may aa well not read at all, aa not read with readiness and care. I speak of tbis because I find that many children paas throngh the oommon sohool course witbout being able to read mechanically well.
It is quite important that they never miscall, or miatake one word for another which re¬ sembles it in appearance; as conduit for con¬ duct, or troth for truth. I frequently hear mistakes in recitation which were occasioned by tbus mistaking the word. But of what uae is it to read fluently and coriiectly, if we know not tbe meaning of tbe words ? We sball either get no idea, or a wrong one. It by no meana follows that we noderstaad a sentence which we pronounce fluently.
Special pains should be taken to teaoh children the meaning of words. Some atten¬ tion ahould be given to it in every recitation. It ia not enough to refer a scholar to the diotionary;   the   definition   there   given
