"JUDGE NOr, LEST YE BE JUDGED." It is an axiom iq law that in order to constitute the criminality of an action for¬ bidden by the statute under penalty, it is , necessary to prove malice prepense or a felonious attempt. We sball now, however, relate a caae of murder committed under most estraordi- nary circumstancee—the murder of a son, a child thirteen years old, by his father j a murder committed deliberately, calmly, premeditatedly, confessed by him, witness¬ ed by hundreds, and of which crime no jury could have found him guilty.

A case of somnambulism (I so call it, in default of a better name) came under my no¬ tice about a year since, which presented some interesting and novel features; and with tbe hope that its publication may tend to throw light npon the pliysiology of tbe brain, but more particularly upou that conditiou of men¬ tal action kuown as mesmeripm, I send it for insertion in tbe Amtrican Journal. The subject of tbia aflVction was a mau 32 dnriug the spring of 1S56, c ime to Markbam Statiou, to live with a relative of his, who bad established a-store tbere. Here it was that he came under ^my notice. For many years he bad bpen very dissipated, and had been treated several limes for delirium tremens he told me. During tbe conrse of the following fall, one of the yonng meu who lived in tbe honse with him, found that wben suddeuiy awakened, be would commence to talk about h!s goods* imagining tbat he was making sales to a pur¬ chaser, and urging him to purchase some article. He fouud then, if be pretended to be a purchaser, Mr. A. would go on recommend¬ ing bis goods, would get out of bed, search for his yard stick, measure off any number o- yarda called for, whether it was of silk, cloth' or calico, from a newspaper. That if he rep¬ resented one of tbe young ladies who usually made purchases at the store, Mr. A. would treat him with all tbe deference be usually bestowed upon ladies, never for an instant seeming to donbt that he was dressed and waiting upon tbe lady in tbe store, but wonld talk abopt, laugh at, and joke over his goods as he was known to do while selling goods to ladies. Wheu in tbis state, one after another the young men were brougbt up and intro¬ dnced to him, sometimes as ladies, aud some. times as 'gentlemen; always after he would call them by the name by which they were introduced, and behave in all respects towards them as if tbey were tbe real personages rep¬ resented. Sometimes one would represent a rowdy, and curse and swear; Mr. A. would immediately seize him and attempt to put him out ; often the scuffle was very severe and long-continued, and during tbe scuffle aome persons standing by would pinch and Blap bim, to which he seemed very sensitive, bnt was not at all aroused from tbe delusion by it. Whilst in tbat state he knew no one, not even his employer, who was often present; indeed, until introduced to any one, he would pass him as he would a pillow or post, not seeming to be aware tbat he was a human being, but wbeu once introduced, he never after forgot the imaginary person, but would recognize and talk to bim whenever he met him. He wonld, when told to go lo tbe booka and make off a loug account, put on bia over¬ coat and spurs, though he was in night-clothes and bad on neither socks nor shoes, and start ont of tbe room on a collecting expedition. When brought back and told the gentleman he sought was in tbe room, he would, in bia usual bland manner, present the acconnt and request paymeut, urging bim after biacustom to do EO. Ue waa once captain of a militia company, and if at any time one of the com¬ pany struck up a march, be would hasten to pnt on his drilPftoat,sasb, and sword, though his legs and feet were bare, and commence tt arrange those present in a line to go through a regular drill. In fine,'tell him be was at a ball, he wonld immediately think be was Ihere, and would act accordiugly ; so if you told bim be was iu Baltimore, rhiladelpbia, or New York. He could not be made to lose Bight ofhis awn identity, but upon every tbiug else, his mind seemed to act upon any sug¬ gestion, no matter by whom made. So long aa be was acting under a delusion it was imposEible to awaken liim ; numerous Attempta were made by mvself aud others, Det we could by no effort used succeed iu the slightest degree, but if left alone for a few minutes be would return to his bed and close his eyes in sotind sleep; tben if aroused iu a natural manner, he would awake perfectly rational, and without the slightest conacious- nefts of wbat had jui-t passed. Usually in the morning after he bad been experimented Upon, he would awake complaining a good deal of soreness and lassitude, but had not lhe slightest idea of its cause. At last his employer, at bis urgent reque.Ht, forbade any repetition of the experiment; all saw, too> that his health was growing more precarious, and abandoned it, for fear of doing him injury. A short time after, his employer told me, while standing conversing witb him on busi¬ ness, he suddenly commenced praising his The Educational Association, the proceed¬ ings of whioh were fully reported in the Ex¬ aminer of last week, waa remarkable for the number in attendance, and that in itself, is a his little sisters.

" You are about to follow me up the ladder j you have nothing to fear so long Mncb—says tbe Baltimore Sun—ia said as you keep your footing, and take a firm» *'"* written now-a-daya of women's rights. this side of the Atlantic, high towers at¬ tached, containing the belfry and clock, and terminating in high narrow spires.— These spires ascend in a very narrow angle and terminate in a point apparently as short as that of an arrow or a lance, whence the name of lancet towers.— These towers are covered or tiled with slate arranged in layers and faatcncd to the wooden frame work by an iron nail paaaing through a hole in the slate. Either through decay or damp, by which the nails are corroded, or the force of the wind, some of these plates or tiles become detached or fall off, exposing the wood work, and unless such damage be prompt¬ ly repaired, the whole steeple would soon fall into decay and the fabric tumble upon the roof of the church, and not only be productive of additional damage to the ed¬ ifice but endanger life and limb. On the principle, therefore, of putting in a stitch in time to save nine, the towers or steeples are from time to time examined and the requisite repairs done. At the time 1 am speaking of, the mo¬ dus operandi under such circumstances was very primitive, nor it is at all unlikely that the Germans—a people so much attached to tbe institutions of tbeir fathers, will have introduced any improvements in this reapect. Thus whilst in other countries much time, expense and ingenuity are wasted in erecting scaffoldings, both safe and convenient for the workman, there a a man ascends a ladder to the" top and per¬ forms his work. He proceeds in the fol¬ lowing way: He commences by letting a kite fly, to the tail of which a long slender twine'is attached. By a dextrous movement he contrives to swing the kite round the cross or weather-cock, by which the steeple ia surmounted, there it fastens. Then, tying a rather thickened cord to one end of the twine which has been left suspeJfiad, hc pulls tbat up over the cross till he has got hold of tbe^nd of that. Continuing thus to fasten a stronger rope to the prec^ng one, he at last succeeds in fastening a thick rope, strong enough to hold a ladder fast¬ ened at one end. This ladder too, is pulled up, and after it has a height auffi- cieut to admit another to be faatened to it, he continues the process till a number of laddera have been faatened together of a length sufiicient to reach from the roof of the church to the top of ihe steeple, so close that in ascending them there is room between them and the wall of the steeple barelysufficientforthe toes of a man to rest on the steps. The workman now slings a bag or bundle of slates across thc right shoulder. In his pocket he carri ea a suf¬ ficient quantity of nails, and the hammer is stuck in the folda of his waistcoat, or in hia girdle. His preparations arc now com¬ pleted. By these ladders the workman must as¬ cend. During his ascent, and till hc reaches the top, be receives support from his handa ; but as soon as his work com¬ mences he must occupy thera otherwise j with resting hia breast againat the steeple he performs his task, and after its comple¬ tion hc descends aa he had ascended. It ia needless to say that this is a most dan¬ gerous occupation. The least 'unsteadi¬ ness of the eye, an attack of giddiness, an inclination of the body to one side or thc the other, the slipping of a foot from one of the steps, the shaking of the ladder by a sudden gust of wind, any one of these cas¬ ualties places his life in imminent danger, for should he lose hia footing, or his hold, he would be precipitated aeveral hundred feet upon the roof of the building, and nearly every bone in his body would be crushed. Death, almost instantaneous, would be inevitable. Such accidents were not of an unfrequent occurrence, and in consideration of the danger and risk at¬ tending this occupation, the persona en¬ gaged in it, and who were employed by the city, were very liberally paid, and when rendered unfit to perform their duties any longer, through weakness or old age, pro¬ vided witb a pension for life. These men hold. Your first step is to familiarize your¬ self with the high elevation, and you'll gradually acquire confidence. There is one thing, however, you nmst guard againstj and that is vertigo or giddiness." "But how cau 1 guard against itV asked the boy. Easily enough. jYcver look down.— Look constantly upwards. If you look down you will become dizzy, and if you loose your balance, you will fall down. It will cost you your life—nothing can save you." They had now reached tbe church—they entered it and ascended the roof. Cau¬ tiously and carefully did Arend esamine the preparations that had been made by hia assiatant. The ladders were aafe and firm. lie ascended, tbe boy followinghim. Arend had reached the top, and had began hia work. The boy stood close under him on the ladder. The latter for a while carefully attended to hia father's instruc¬ tions. He kept his eyes steadily fixed upon the top of thc steeple or towards the sky, or on his father's hands, watching his proceedings. ; Two persons suspended apparently from the top of a very high and tapering steeple, had naturally attracted the attention of peraons in the street, and a crowd of gazers had gradually formed, that were watching them with interest. Suddenly tho boy was seen to move and almost immediately after the man was seen to lift hia foot from the ladder, and' give the boy a kick on thc head ; the boy \ was seen attempting to guard his head ] from the blow; thc mau was seen to raise ' his foot a second time and give the boy i another kick on the head. The ladder was ' seen to shake ; the man was seen to drop some things {which proved to be slate-tiles) and to lay hold of the ladder with both hands. Aud at the same moment the boy let go his hold of the ladder and fell head¬ long from nearly the top of the steeple upon thc roof of the ciiurch, and rebound¬ ing thence from thc roof upon the pave¬ ment, he reached the ground a mutilated corpse. A shout of horror and indignation arose among the crowd. The child had not fal¬ len by accident. He had been thrown down designedly. He had been murdered. " Down with him !" " Kill thc infanti¬ cide !" " Tear him to piecea!" Such were the cries raised by a crowd which was now rapidly increasing. Arend could not but hear th^ shouts, the execrations that were uttcrtru, the curses that were heaped upon head ; for though the great height at wnicn he was suspended What theu are her rights ? This is not only just, hut expedient to give her. Man de¬ frauds himself wheu he withholds it. For is not womau to be his constant companion ? Would he choose that his companion should be destitute of ideas ? Surely not. The con¬ versation of an educated woman is a perpet¬ ual feast. If the first pleasure of life is ac¬ tion, tbe second certainly is talk. And there is almoat as mucb pleasure in talking about things as doing them. A man wants in a wife not only a companion, but a counseller. No one mind ever saw all sides of all subjects, nor even-all sides of one subject. And tbe wisest suggestions not unfrequeutly come from tbe least informed. Tbe Pythoness, the Sybils, were women because women were always auppoaed to enjoy a nearer access to the fountain of wisdom tbau mau. Women have a right to a good husbaud, because most of them mean to do the thing that is nearly rigbt. When they marry they have a right tbat th<-ir husbands sbould be meu and not mere wrecks of debauchery and di-asipation. Ob, it is ono of the cruelest of wrongs for a pure and innocent girl to throw herself away upon a broken down victim of licentionaueas, who ia moie fit for a hospital tbau to preside over a family, tbe candidate for premature decay and early death. The mind and moral nature generally in such cases is quite as much wreck as tbe body.— The freshness of life is all worn off, tbe gay- ety of innooeuce ia, forever gone. Tlie life of such a man is cold and hard, destitute of sen¬ timent and enthusiasm. Woman is cruelly wronged when she has accepted such a com~ panion. Woman ha.s a right to the society of her husband. Home should be bis sanctuary, and be ought to fiud hia happiness there.— If he does not, there is something wrong.— He has promised to be the husband—tbat is tbe house-band—the baud that keepa tbe household together. His presence tbere is necessary to keep all rigbt. If be wanders heedlessly, something is apt to go wroug.— Hi.s authority is often wauted to maintain order, to arrange business, to superintend labor. His absences ought to be few and un¬ frequent as possible. Womau has a right to this, and ber rights are grossly violated when her husband is often unnecessarily away. I Lastly, woman bas a right to the earnings ' of her husband for the support of their fam- ! ilies. We never aaw a drinking saloon, from ' the low groggery to the pretentious hotel, witbout saying to ourselves, here, after all, ; is the most outrageous violation of woman's rights. We sometimes get a glimpse at these , apartments, aud who do we see there ? Hua- uoation itself, ia an acoompliahed fact, and aince auch a high estimate is justly put upon tbe workings of our own association, it may seem more than duty requires, to intimate any imperfections, or suggest any improve¬ menta. While conceding a v.ery creditable excellence to tbe deliberations of the Associ¬ ation, it cannot be truly claimed, that tbe subjects uuder discussion, at the last and preceding session, were very thoroughly elucidated, or that they elicited a general iu¬ terest among members. At the last session, held in the High School building, while a large number of very intelligftjit teachers were present, tbe information evolved in tbe dis¬ cussion did not perceptibly increase our stock cf knowledge. Syntactical and Analytical Grammar were diacusaed. The point under consideration was, wbich shonld be taught Jirst. Tha sub¬ ject was one, demanding a thoroi^h acquain¬ tance with the structure of the'English lan¬ guage, and we preaume; requiriug a apecial study on the part of most present, before it conld be intelligently discussed. A philos¬ ophical development of a subject requiring scholarship and acumen of the highest order, oould only be looked for from^ the few, and an approximation toward .comprehending such a developmeut by the many wonld be no small merit. It cannot be that tbere were not teachers present, competent to give the subject a thorough handling, yet it was treated in tbe mo.'it desultory aud cursory manner, and absolutely no conclusions ar¬ rived at, deducible from any process of rea¬ soning known as logical. Professor Brooks jast missed delivering an elaborate and instructive lecture ; as it was, he gave a very interesting and instructive talk. But as we understood him, there was a heretical squint in his view of the uses of text books. It is all very well, that observa¬ tion and illustration should be more gen¬ erally appealed to in imparting knowledge, but we are not prepared yet to believe, that books are used too much. Tbe other subjects properly before the As- village, all will be done. thua continues: Oar teacher poet j MISS B. M.

Tliey retired, mnch de¬ lighted at the reault of the experiment, aud procured an expert to write a certificate aud sign their namea to it, indorsing the teacher's qualifications in extenso. We are uot certain tbat a few tests of this nature would not go as far towards proving the fitness of a mau to traiu up tbe youthful mind, a.<} the ability to soar in Algebra. Such a teacher would suffer neither iusubordiua- tion nor bad manners, and one prompt to de¬ fend bis scholars from insult, could hardly have been a cruel one. However, tho fre¬ quency with wbich such anecdotes and com¬ ments find their way into the papers, is, as we said, a proof that some attention is now boing given to this most important subject.

Numerous witnesses testified to tho fact of his having repeatedly kicked his son, who stood below him on the ladder, with his foot on the head ; that the child was thus compelled to let go his hold of the ladder, and was seen falling down upon the roof, and from the roof upon tho pavement; that the accused, after having committed this act, looked round ouly once, and but for a moment, and then proceeded with his work as if notbing had happened. Having been asked by the magistrate what he had to say in answer to tho charge, he spoke as follows: " It is well known to you, sir, and every one who hears me is aware of the faot, that the occupation which I pursue is j attended with great danger of life and 1351, iluil llm Wi.rld "Canadas."

WEB pronounced dying, and all sat awaiting the result, when from the muoh prolonged intervals between his grasps, I supposed the nest would certainly be hh last, he suddenly sprang into the middle of the fioor, and it re¬ quired the oombined exertions of three of us to replace him in bed; then, upon feeling his wriat, pulse waa very perceptible in it and seemed to increase in force. Some brandy was given, which he swallowed with but little difficulty, and that seemed to revive htm still more. Soon after, he sank into the same state again. Again, when expecting death» he sprung up aa before. He continued in this ¦tate for about a week, when on the morning before new year's he suddenly expired.
No post-mortem was made, circumstances prevented, but so far as the symptoms went they gave no evidence of any serious organic lesion of any of the viscera. Tbe prominent symptoms in the case were great prostration accompanied with delirium, but the delirium was never violent, and he never became com¬ atose ; on the contrary, up to Christmas eve, there was no time when he would not anawer rationally any question put to him. He seemed to die from complete exhaustion of the nervous force, whieh for the week pre¬ ceding his death seemed to be flickering like a candle that bad burnt out, I Snob was tbe history of the case, as far aa I thought it important to note it down, Hia somuambnlistio exhibitions and illness were witnessed by numbers of gentlemen and sev¬ eral physicians besides myself, attracted some from interest in tbe patient, and some from curiosity.

THE SLATER.
"JUDGE NOr, LEST YE BE JUDGED."
It is an axiom iq law that in order to constitute the criminality of an action for¬ bidden by the statute under penalty, it is , necessary to prove malice prepense or a felonious attempt.
We sball now, however, relate a caae of murder committed under most estraordi- nary circumstancee—the murder of a son, a child thirteen years old, by his father j a murder committed deliberately, calmly, premeditatedly, confessed by him, witness¬ ed by hundreds, and of which crime no jury could have found him guilty.
The most, or at least mauy, of the old Gothic churches in the old cities of Europe, years of age. He had spent the greater part ^^^ particularly Germany, are like to those ofhislife as clerk in a mercantile bouse, and ¦^yjjj.j^ modern Style both on that and

CASE OF SOMNAMBTTLISM.
DY KUBEUT Ji. BTRIBLIKG, 31. D., OF TlHOIKlA.
A case of somnambulism (I so call it, in default of a better name) came under my no¬ tice about a year since, which presented some interesting and novel features; and with tbe hope that its publication may tend to throw light npon the pliysiology of tbe brain, but more particularly upou that conditiou of men¬ tal action kuown as mesmeripm, I send it for insertion in tbe Amtrican Journal.
The subject of tbia aflVction was a mau 32
dnriug the spring of 1S56, c ime to Markbam Statiou, to live with a relative of his, who bad established a-store tbere. Here it was that he came under ^my notice. For many years he bad bpen very dissipated, and had been treated several limes for delirium tremens he told me.
During tbe conrse of the following fall, one of the yonng meu who lived in tbe honse with him, found that wben suddeuiy awakened, be would commence to talk about h!s goods* imagining tbat he was making sales to a pur¬ chaser, and urging him to purchase some article. He fouud then, if be pretended to be a purchaser, Mr. A. would go on recommend¬ ing bis goods, would get out of bed, search for his yard stick, measure off any number o- yarda called for, whether it was of silk, cloth' or calico, from a newspaper. That if he rep¬ resented one of tbe young ladies who usually made purchases at the store, Mr. A. would treat him with all tbe deference be usually bestowed upon ladies, never for an instant seeming to donbt that he was dressed and waiting upon tbe lady in tbe store, but wonld talk abopt, laugh at, and joke over his goods as he was known to do while selling goods to ladies. Wheu in tbis state, one after another the young men were brougbt up and intro¬ dnced to him, sometimes as ladies, aud some. times as 'gentlemen; always after he would call them by the name by which they were introduced, and behave in all respects towards them as if tbey were tbe real personages rep¬ resented. Sometimes one would represent a rowdy, and curse and swear; Mr. A. would immediately seize him and attempt to put him out ; often the scuffle was very severe and long-continued, and during tbe scuffle aome persons standing by would pinch and Blap bim, to which he seemed very sensitive, bnt was not at all aroused from tbe delusion by it.
Whilst in tbat state he knew no one, not even his employer, who was often present; indeed, until introduced to any one, he would pass him as he would a pillow or post, not seeming to be aware tbat he was a human being, but wbeu once introduced, he never after forgot the imaginary person, but would recognize and talk to bim whenever he met him. He wonld, when told to go lo tbe booka and make off a loug account, put on bia over¬ coat and spurs, though he was in night-clothes and bad on neither socks nor shoes, and start ont of tbe room on a collecting expedition. When brought back and told the gentleman he sought was in tbe room, he would, in bia usual bland manner, present the acconnt and request paymeut, urging bim after biacustom to do EO. Ue waa once captain of a militia company, and if at any time one of the com¬ pany struck up a march, be would hasten to pnt on his drilPftoat,sasb, and sword, though his legs and feet were bare, and commence tt arrange those present in a line to go through a regular drill.

this side of the Atlantic, high towers at¬ tached, containing the belfry and clock, and terminating in high narrow spires.— These spires ascend in a very narrow angle and terminate in a point apparently as short as that of an arrow or a lance, whence the name of lancet towers.— These towers are covered or tiled with slate arranged in layers and faatcncd to the wooden frame work by an iron nail paaaing through a hole in the slate.
Either through decay or damp, by which the nails are corroded, or the force of the wind, some of these plates or tiles become detached or fall off, exposing the wood work, and unless such damage be prompt¬ ly repaired, the whole steeple would soon fall into decay and the fabric tumble upon the roof of the church, and not only be productive of additional damage to the ed¬ ifice but endanger life and limb. On the principle, therefore, of putting in a stitch in time to save nine, the towers or steeples are from time to time examined and the requisite repairs done.
At the time 1 am speaking of, the mo¬ dus operandi under such circumstances was very primitive, nor it is at all unlikely that the Germans—a people so much attached to tbe institutions of tbeir fathers, will have introduced any improvements in this reapect. Thus whilst in other countries much time, expense and ingenuity are wasted in erecting scaffoldings, both safe and convenient for the workman, there a a man ascends a ladder to the" top and per¬ forms his work. He proceeds in the fol¬ lowing way:
He commences by letting a kite fly, to the tail of which a long slender twine'is attached. By a dextrous movement he contrives to swing the kite round the cross or weather-cock, by which the steeple ia surmounted, there it fastens. Then, tying a rather thickened cord to one end of the twine which has been left suspeJfiad, hc pulls tbat up over the cross till he has got hold of tbe^nd of that. Continuing thus to fasten a stronger rope to the prec^ng one, he at last succeeds in fastening a thick rope, strong enough to hold a ladder fast¬ ened at one end. This ladder too, is pulled up, and after it has a height auffi- cieut to admit another to be faatened to it, he continues the process till a number of laddera have been faatened together of a length sufiicient to reach from the roof of the church to the top of ihe steeple, so close that in ascending them there is room between them and the wall of the steeple barelysufficientforthe toes of a man to rest on the steps. The workman now slings a bag or bundle of slates across thc right shoulder. In his pocket he carri ea a suf¬ ficient quantity of nails, and the hammer is stuck in the folda of his waistcoat, or in hia girdle. His preparations arc now com¬ pleted.
By these ladders the workman must as¬ cend. During his ascent, and till hc reaches the top, be receives support from his handa ; but as soon as his work com¬ mences he must occupy thera otherwise j with resting hia breast againat the steeple he performs his task, and after its comple¬ tion hc descends aa he had ascended. It ia needless to say that this is a most dan¬ gerous occupation. The least 'unsteadi¬ ness of the eye, an attack of giddiness, an inclination of the body to one side or thc the other, the slipping of a foot from one of the steps, the shaking of the ladder by a sudden gust of wind, any one of these cas¬ ualties places his life in imminent danger, for should he lose hia footing, or his hold, he would be precipitated aeveral hundred feet upon the roof of the building, and nearly every bone in his body would be crushed. Death, almost instantaneous, would be inevitable. Such accidents were not of an unfrequent occurrence, and in consideration of the danger and risk at¬ tending this occupation, the persona en¬ gaged in it, and who were employed by the city, were very liberally paid, and when rendered unfit to perform their duties any longer, through weakness or old age, pro¬ vided witb a pension for life. These men
hold. Your first step is to familiarize your¬ self with the high elevation, and you'll gradually acquire confidence. There is one thing, however, you nmst guard againstj and that is vertigo or giddiness."
"But how cau 1 guard against itV asked the boy.
Easily enough. jYcver look down.— Look constantly upwards. If you look down you will become dizzy, and if you loose your balance, you will fall down. It will cost you your life—nothing can save you."
They had now reached tbe church—they entered it and ascended the roof. Cau¬ tiously and carefully did Arend esamine the preparations that had been made by hia assiatant. The ladders were aafe and firm. lie ascended, tbe boy followinghim.
Arend had reached the top, and had began hia work. The boy stood close under him on the ladder. The latter for a while carefully attended to hia father's instruc¬ tions. He kept his eyes steadily fixed upon the top of thc steeple or towards the sky, or on his father's hands, watching his proceedings. ;
Two persons suspended apparently from the top of a very high and tapering steeple, had naturally attracted the attention of peraons in the street, and a crowd of gazers had gradually formed, that were watching them with interest.
Suddenly tho boy was seen to move and almost immediately after the man was seen to lift hia foot from the ladder, and' give the boy a kick on thc head ; the boy \ was seen attempting to guard his head ] from the blow; thc mau was seen to raise ' his foot a second time and give the boy i another kick on the head. The ladder was ' seen to shake ; the man was seen to drop some things {which proved to be slate-tiles) and to lay hold of the ladder with both hands. Aud at the same moment the boy let go his hold of the ladder and fell head¬ long from nearly the top of the steeple upon thc roof of the ciiurch, and rebound¬ ing thence from thc roof upon the pave¬ ment, he reached the ground a mutilated corpse.
A shout of horror and indignation arose among the crowd. The child had not fal¬ len by accident. He had been thrown down designedly. He had been murdered. " Down with him !" " Kill thc infanti¬ cide !" " Tear him to piecea!" Such were the cries raised by a crowd which was now rapidly increasing. Arend could not but hear th^ shouts, the execrations that were uttcrtru, the curses that were heaped upon head ; for though the
great height at wnicn he was suspended
What theu are her rights ? This is not only just, hut expedient to give her. Man de¬ frauds himself wheu he withholds it. For is not womau to be his constant companion ? Would he choose that his companion should be destitute of ideas ? Surely not. The con¬ versation of an educated woman is a perpet¬ ual feast. If the first pleasure of life is ac¬ tion, tbe second certainly is talk. And there is almoat as mucb pleasure in talking about things as doing them. A man wants in a wife not only a companion, but a counseller. No one mind ever saw all sides of all subjects, nor even-all sides of one subject. And tbe wisest suggestions not unfrequeutly come from tbe least informed. Tbe Pythoness, the Sybils, were women because women were always auppoaed to enjoy a nearer access to the fountain of wisdom tbau mau.
Women have a right to a good husbaud, because most of them mean to do the thing that is nearly rigbt. When they marry they have a right tbat th<-ir husbands sbould be meu and not mere wrecks of debauchery and di-asipation. Ob, it is ono of the cruelest of wrongs for a pure and innocent girl to throw herself away upon a broken down victim of licentionaueas, who ia moie fit for a hospital tbau to preside over a family, tbe candidate for premature decay and early death. The mind and moral nature generally in such cases is quite as much wreck as tbe body.— The freshness of life is all worn off, tbe gay- ety of innooeuce ia, forever gone. Tlie life of such a man is cold and hard, destitute of sen¬ timent and enthusiasm. Woman is cruelly wronged when she has accepted such a com~ panion.
Woman ha.s a right to the society of her husband. Home should be bis sanctuary, and be ought to fiud hia happiness there.— If he does not, there is something wrong.— He has promised to be the husband—tbat is tbe house-band—the baud that keepa tbe household together. His presence tbere is necessary to keep all rigbt. If be wanders heedlessly, something is apt to go wroug.— Hi.s authority is often wauted to maintain order, to arrange business, to superintend labor. His absences ought to be few and un¬ frequent as possible. Womau has a right to this, and ber rights are grossly violated when her husband is often unnecessarily away. I Lastly, woman bas a right to the earnings ' of her husband for the support of their fam- ! ilies. We never aaw a drinking saloon, from ' the low groggery to the pretentious hotel, witbout saying to ourselves, here, after all, ; is the most outrageous violation of woman's rights. We sometimes get a glimpse at these , apartments, aud who do we see there ? Hua-
uoation itself, ia an acoompliahed fact, and aince auch a high estimate is justly put upon tbe workings of our own association, it may seem more than duty requires, to intimate any imperfections, or suggest any improve¬ menta. While conceding a v.ery creditable excellence to tbe deliberations of the Associ¬ ation, it cannot be truly claimed, that tbe subjects uuder discussion, at the last and preceding session, were very thoroughly elucidated, or that they elicited a general iu¬ terest among members. At the last session, held in the High School building, while a large number of very intelligftjit teachers were present, tbe information evolved in tbe dis¬ cussion did not perceptibly increase our stock cf knowledge.
Syntactical and Analytical Grammar were diacusaed. The point under consideration was, wbich shonld be taught Jirst. Tha sub¬ ject was one, demanding a thoroi^h acquain¬ tance with the structure of the'English lan¬ guage, and we preaume; requiriug a apecial study on the part of most present, before it conld be intelligently discussed. A philos¬ ophical development of a subject requiring scholarship and acumen of the highest order, oould only be looked for from^ the few, and an approximation toward .comprehending such a developmeut by the many wonld be no small merit. It cannot be that tbere were not teachers present, competent to give the subject a thorough handling, yet it was treated in tbe mo.'it desultory aud cursory manner, and absolutely no conclusions ar¬ rived at, deducible from any process of rea¬ soning known as logical.
Professor Brooks jast missed delivering an elaborate and instructive lecture ; as it was, he gave a very interesting and instructive talk. But as we understood him, there was a heretical squint in his view of the uses of text books. It is all very well, that observa¬ tion and illustration should be more gen¬ erally appealed to in imparting knowledge, but we are not prepared yet to believe, that books are used too much.
Tbe other subjects properly before the As-
village, all will be done. thua continues:

We bave spoken of the combination of moral tuition with the intellectual. It is, we are bappy to perceive, beginning to be gen- nerally understood that a teacher shonld be a gentleman. Under the old regime, tbe brute wbo whacked hia scholars around tbe most, or who crammed tbe most learning into tbem, and if tbis were only attained, parents were satisfied. TAe7i,a teacher improved bis prospects byacquiring tbe reputationof a boor. Now-a-daya, parents are beginning to learn that good manners and amenity are worth ex¬ actly as mucb as anything else, and that they are seldom developed in childreu wbo have had tbe disadvantage of au ill-bred teacher.

board wbo oould boast tbe first rudiments of an English education, the task they were about to perform naturally struck them as oue of some considerable difficulty. After a long and perplexing deliberation of the mat¬ ter, one of the board, a shrewd fellow, propo¬ sed tbat tbey should all light their pipes aud euter the school house smoking.

tbe board entered tbo school-house, each Hosiery, with a pipe in his moutb, pufllug away like Shirt FrontSj a locomotive engine. The teacher, not hav¬ ing the honor of tbeir acquaintance, aud be- leiving them to be drunken rowdies, in.stantly ordered them out. Tliey retired, mnch de¬ lighted at the reault of the experiment, aud procured an expert to write a certificate aud sign their namea to it, indorsing the teacher's qualifications in extenso.
We are uot certain tbat a few tests of this nature would not go as far towards proving the fitness of a mau to traiu up tbe youthful mind, a.<} the ability to soar in Algebra. Such a teacher would suffer neither iusubordiua- tion nor bad manners, and one prompt to de¬ fend bis scholars from insult, could hardly have been a cruel one. However, tho fre¬ quency with wbich such anecdotes and com¬ ments find their way into the papers, is, as we said, a proof that some attention is now boing given to this most important subject.
