because he reads of names and things
which, are very familiar, and be will make
a progress accordingly. A. newspaper In
one year, says Mr. Weeks is worth) a
quarters schooling to a child, and ev
ery father must consider that tho most
substantial information is connected with
this advancement 'r. Tho mother of the
family, being one of its beads and having
a more immediate charge of children, ought
to be intelligent of riiind, pure in language,
and always clwjerful and cipcumApeci. As
the instructor of her cluldren, she should
herself be instructed. ,
A mind occuru'ed, becomes fortified
against the ills of life, and is braced for
any emergency.

must be dear to every true patriot, philanthropist,
and christian T Recollect there are but few, very
f-w,siich papers in all tho Southern country.
The Western part of North Carolini, the WcsU
