There Is so strong an analogy In all things, that
J-even the mind and the earth hare systems ih com
noh. Agriculture and education are "part of the
same gnmd philosophy, which is illustrated by the
ipoe't: . ! : - . : t :
' Hlucatlon a-rlcu!ture to the nilud : ..

The ruticst farmer is aware that a repetition of

rial succeion reduces the most tertiie soil iq com
parative s-terility. -" .Y ' . i
The-saic is true of tlie mind. Variety ofj exer
cise is re tWe, and change of empl")yment is re
creation. Culture insures the production of, supe
rior fruit Jfrom the soil; and culture, culture only,
produces superior inen. If you suffer an apple tree
to grpw vp in the forest, overshadowed by tic tall
monarch! of the wood, surrounded by bitter shrubs
and fouljwecds, without letting the sunshine to its
.foliage, jopping off its decayed or superfluous twigs
and branches, and stirring the soil at its roots, it
will growj up dwarfed and barren, or producing un
fwlatabfc and unwholesome fruit. Y
If a bby is suffered to grow up m idleness and
I ncrUa, surrounded by the ignorant and vicious, he
will be w dwarf in intellect, soul, and virtue, and
his fru(ts or deeds will be as acrid and bitter as
"applei of Sodom.r A boy should, be taught thai

disobeys the command and resists the plan of his
Creator: .' Ever, since . the" flaming sword of the
Cherubim flashed between iAdam and his lost Eden
all liavc been under the curse, and nothing has been
righteously gained without labor.' ; However, gifted
oo
by nature t with genius, talent, pr strength, without
intelligent exertion ypu cannot rise above the com
mon level of those who squander the golden mo
ments of youth in pursuit of igntnf atui which lure,
at last, to the "Slough of Despond:' Even heaven
born Genius, with its eagle wings, cannot bear up
to the dcad,1eaden weight of ignorance, sensualism,
and slouth. You must work, with that ambition
and that end in riewr else yon; will neveir-enjoyj a
manhood of which you will aot be ashamed. '- f you
feci the struggling of the spurit of genius within
you; if it is your wish some day: to standi 'among
the noble, gootl, and great of cartli, you must strive
in life's spring-time and summer,5 with brain and
hand. You can never achieve that proud manhood
for which Providence has -given you the opacity,
unless you lead a natural and! active life. I With
this view, avoid slothf ulness ; shun inebriety as you
would the jellow fever, the cholera,' or the deadly
fangs of the cobra di capello ;fcschew sensualism

1 The higher classes- satisfied with the cultivation
of those Charming talents which ornament society,
employed in more, ambitious studies, or engaged in
the daily pursuit of pleasure, scoff at the important
knowledge of the things of everyday life :
The ; middle classes, to whom this branch of
knowledge should b& most practically; useful, are
really or effectually ignorant of it, and at all events
are unjjardonably negligent in turning it to good
account; s . I, .

- i To the woman who has never been imbued with
the first principles of this necessary knowledge,' it
is diflicult to communicate it by lesson or lecture
like any other science. It is an experimental phi

We frequently; hear of a lady,' whose clothes
have caught fire, rushing into the open air to call
for assistance,, and, by this imprudence! falling a
victim, as the air necessarily increases t the flames.
A knowledge of common things, with theL presence
of mind to make use of her knowledge,! would have
taught her to lie down on tlie carpet and .roll over
to extinguish the flames, or with courage and
promptness to envelop herself in ahearth-rug, table
cover or, any woolen article at hand. ' j
We have heard of a poor rnan who, inl using an
ax, severetl an artery in the:lwTist: terrified at the
flow of blood, his! wife, in her distraction or in her
ignorance, ixied to check it by using cold ;yater and
common styptics,! and . tied up the; wound loosely
with linen rags, instead of binding the arm tightly
with a ligature above the cut, till medical assistance
could be obtained. ."In this case!) her . ignorance
caused the -death of her husband, who died from

The mistress of a family should; happily blend
theory and practice, and possess the -will -and the
way to make them useful. She must acquaint her
self perfectly with the duties of mistress and servant
before she begins to teach her servant. In !this, as
in all cases, knowledge is power; and she will have
her rooms in the more complete order when she
knows herself how they ought to be arranged and

with their appropriate functions, ii If each cord
were carried out in a straight line they might be

A School of jouRALfii!.
Si n ce we have schools
for the benefit of the Incipient ia7;, doctors and
clergymeri, why should we 1 not f have, a" school for
editors ?.' Journalism, has become as distinct and
important a profession 'as 'either law, medicine or
divinity, and men need to be carefully and thorough
ly educated for it: : The ability to edit a newspaper
Is entirely distinct from the ability to write a lead
ing article, and the possession of the one by no
means implies the possession of the other. Ah edi
tor can become a master of the duties of his profes
sion only by long experience ; just as! a lawyer can
acquire a thorough knowledge of practice.: Never
theless the law-school is of great benefit in teaching
the student,tle rudiments not only pf law but of
practice' ; and a school of journalism could, at least,
irtstruct the student in the true theory of 'editorial
duty. Precisely how such a school should be con
ducted, it would be very difficult to i say, but there
is manifestly not only room, but a real "demand -for
it. We have an abundance of. good newspaper

entrance of 1 an amiable woman ; while her good
sense and obliging deportment chanried them at
least into a
temporary. conviction,' that there isnoth-
ing so beautiful as female excellence! nothing so
delightful as female conversation. To form the
manners of men, nothing contributes so much as
tiie caste of jthe woman they converse with. Those
who; are most associated with woman qf virtue arid
understanding; ; will lie always 'found the most
amiable characters. Such society, beyond every
thing i else, , Tubs off tlie protrusions that give to
many an ungracious roughness ; it produces a polish
more perfect, and more pleasing than that which is
received from a general commerce with the world.

a more elegant humanity ; jthe heart itself is mould

Worth: Remembering. f-To introduce ' persons1
who are unknown to each other, is to nndertake a
serious responsibility, and always involves the in
dorsement to each of the respectabilityof theotherf
This responsibility should never ' be undertaken
without first 'ascertaining j whether it will be ac
ceptable to both parties to - become acquainted, al
ways introducing gentleman to the lady never on
the contrary. l iThis rule is to be 'observed every-1
where, socially; or otherwise. The chivalryv of
etiquette assumes that the lady is invariably the
superior, by right of her sex and- that thq, gentle-!
man is honored by being presented. v Where the
sexes are the same, present the younger to the elder,
