J MRBCTOfcS Object lessons, or how lie cah most properly develop the minds of those entrusted to our care. As we feel anxiety and interest in a forlorn and neglected human being, so I feel with regard to a subject of such vast importance as the present, receiving in our midst such slight attention. I am interested that I may be able to teach this branch properly myself; anxious to interest others that they too may feel its importance. It has been said by one of the greatest teachers of the eighteenth century, that observation is the basis of all knowledge. The first object then, in educating children, should bo to lead them to observe with accuracy, arijj then to express with ' correctness the result of their observations. 1 Cultivation of the perceptive faculties is ' where primary education begins, and this consists chiefly in affording convenience and stimulants for their development, as the great Becrct of fixing their attention 1 consists in gratifying curiosity, the love of activity, and in mingling delightful associ' ations with learning—never overtaxing their faculties by keeping them too long directed to ojje particular subject*. Chib i dren crave knowledge as well as occupa' tion, and by taking advantage of this pro, pensity to know, while gratifyinga natural desire, habits of observation may be estsb ■ lished, and a great amount of knowledgt | imparted, whilo at the same time concep tion, imagination, reason and judgement are being cultivated, and the foundatior laid for a thorooghly practical education.— This can never bo accomplished by books 1 but should ptccede it; it is the work 0 the parent and primary teacher, ant should occupy the first ten years of life.— I After the age of ten let object lessons har . monizc with, rather than supersede othe exercises, and it will be foijnd to aid muel ' in the round of daily recitation. Unles ' we endeavor to gratify this desire fo knowledge by assisting them" in the! , search for bidden treasures, they will un dertake the task alone, and very often, ir their anxiety to thoroughly investigatt matters for themselves, become quite de structivc. I well remember being severe ly reprimanded when a child, for taking apart a box made with pidcea of glass o different colors, the fcdgcs glued togethei and covered with gi|t paper. It was i pretty box, and I had often looked at it'ai it stood on my mother's bureau, ahd won dcred If I could see through those piecei of glass if I had them in my hand, and whether the color could be rubbed off — I did not, like a good child, ask my moth cr to explain what I wished to know, foi fear she would say, run and play, my child I'm busy now ; but when she went out, ' took tie box from its resting placc, ant tried tq answer the query jn my minu bj what I considered a proper examination o the subject. Finding Riflb difficulty it separating one of the pieces, I held it tC the light but fouod I could not see tbroug): it; I then wet my finger and rubbed i over the under surface to remove a lUtlo o the paint that I might sec the ligh through it, and yet have the glass rcniiif colored.; but instead of this, wherever 1 touched liiy finger the paint was entire!) removed, t tried to the utmost to reinedy this bat to no purpose. I looked at mj finger; it was a beautiful blue; I knon the name of the oolor, for my mother wai making me a new dress of the game shade, and I bad talked so much about it that 1 soon learned the name of its oolor. I looked at it for .a few moments, ?nd then recollected it was just what I had wished for a few days before to make new eyes for my doll, as they had accidentally been washed out ip my attempt to make heT face clean. I wanted to paint a bird in one of my picture books too, for my brother had told me ii was a blue j»y. I wondered what I should da for a brush, as 1 knew with.my finger I should daub tbe paper. AtiastI determined to cb?w the end pf a stick as I seen my brother chew licorice stick, and try that. Although my necessity did not lead uie to'iuvent as good a brush as that used by Benjamin West, still it colored the paper so prettily that I considered the attempt quite a success, and was so delighted that I #aited to run and «how it to my mother, bat remembering what I had done, oonoluded if possible, Co ropair the damaged article first. I. had not time to put. Hint good, resolution ioto effect, lor my mother .on h?r return, thyilyp® lfcp bouse uoysually quiet for a stormy day, came in search of me. On "poning thp rinnr and seeing the brokon box, she exolaiined, "my child ! what have you been doiBg f" I didn't mom to spoil it—rl wanted to see—I can fix it, mother, After investigating the subject, she decided to scud me some glue and leave me alone till dark that at least I might try to repair tlio mischief. Tbe thought of vexing my mother kept me from attempting anything nf the kind for somo time. But mv curiosity was not satisfied ; I was stilt vary anxious to look deeper into the art of painting A parent, though right in trying to cheek the destructive propensities of a child, may often do it in stioh a way as to destroy also that eager desire for knowledge. By leaving me to fix the box alone, she taught me a lesson of self-dependenoe—an other powerful agent of self-oulture. We should draw from children what they know concerning the subject or ob ieot presented; by close questioning, giv ing them as little information as possible, \Hitil we cah'judge of the amount of knowl G.

The little girl cannot give the correct name to the color of the dress she wears, or the boy, that'of his Sunday pasta. They eannot name the parts of the chair they tit on, the use of each piece to the other parts of it, and its value as an artiole of farnitnre. lioys have often seen carts, but cannot nawe Mid describe the parts of one, the materials of which they arc formed ; or tell of its great uso to thC? laborer. Ana why ? Bimply because they have never formed habits of observation. Few children of five years can namo a dozen different sonnds of the human voice and by animals. We trroot apt to consider the importance of early attontion to this subjeot, or else forget that it is impossible to teach a child to become a pleasant reader, until he can readily distinguish" and imitate sounds of the human voice; and it cannot do these well until it has first learned to observe the different sounds. We hear, but take little pleasure in aounda, unless we have been taught to discriminate and appreciate them. V. S. War Claim Agency.

'§» | i Tn giving the sense of hearing, God gave with it the ability of derivinz pleasure from its exercise, but like all other faculties it needs culture, and as hearing is one of the means by which the mind gains a knowledge of the external world, as tutors of the young is is a subject deserving our attention. To teach a distinct enunciation of the elementary sounds of tbe language is (»lso very important, and if properly conducted exercise in this brancn will prove very useful in preparing for subsequent lessons in "reading. Perhaps at first the children Will find it difficult to articulate distinctly, but perserverance will overcome this; and as instuction always gives pleasure unless there is something wrong, either io the mode of presenting it, or in the subjeet matter selected for instruction, so they rejoice at the acquisition of knowledge as the miner does at the discovery of a new vein of the precious substance for which he seprches. Childrens' first lessons should consist in conversation on thiiTgs at home and things with which we meet every day; conducted in the simplest manner possible without formality, taking oare to dwoll for a time, oa that subject in whieh they manifest the greatest interest, till wo have won their confidcnce and removed restraint upon tbe expression of their thoughts; then we tuny lead them on a little farthor, to name some of the objects that have a common resemblance in the material of which they are made, or in their use, by questions like these : What things are worn on hands? Ana.—gloves, mittens, rings, &c. What things are worn on feet? Ans.— stockings, slippers, shoes, boots, overshoes. Wby ar« stockings worn ? When are slippers worn f Who wear shoes ? Who Wear boots? When are overshoes worn ? Can you name any thing else that is worn on the feet ? What things aro ..worn on the bead? Name some things that arc made of, wood ? What thipgs ao you see in the sky, &c, &c. An almost endless number of questions might be asked but we should be careful to sclcct first those things with which the children are familiar, and not lend them to observe things which are beyond their ootnprehension. A knowledge of the nearest things should be acquireo first, then that of those farther off. Tbe most important idea to be kept in mind is that these exercises arc intended to develop habits of observation by means of conversation, leading children to see things around thenselves; and to guide in their efforts to gain knowledge by means of their senses. Sometimes it gives pleasure to have them name a certain number of things found in the kitchen, or parl6r, to name a certain number of things ve eat or drink, and the different parts of a door or window • if they cannot tell at onee, give them a certain time in which they may think, and if possibly find out for themselves; but if they fail in tbe attempt, giye them then the aid they need to make you understand that they have a correct Idea of the subject about which they have been conversing. I have named but a f$w of the many, many subjects that mi "lit and have been selected fljr object lessons. N. A. Calkins gives a fine collection in hia Jntacpsiifig work on object lessons for parents Had teachers- Lessons 011 form, size,eolor, number,weight measure, lessons to develop ideas of drawing (a subject which is too often almost entirely neglected till pupils have entered tbe higher grade schools,) lessons to develop ideas of place, of God as a kind father, oHbe so'ul, and innumerable others. We must be aotive and thoronghly interested jn giving these lessons or indifference and dullness will be manifested by the class.— Tbe kind and amount of instruction must of course depend on the age and advancement of pdpils. and wq should J»ot consider a lesson finished till we have led them to see in (fey ereatiC?n«f objects tbe wisdom and pcuffif of the Creator., Singing should be interspersed with these exercises, as it will render great assistance in the cultivation of their voice?; for the imitative powers of children are so great that vlien developed, no refinement of tone.'or inflection ' of veiefc wdifnC*«lt to thdrt- Knowing tlia: o 5 £ i ■ ea butler house, DR.
