cultivates, will do more to educate
them, and give them intellectual tastes
ind habits, than a thousand schools and
lolleges.
For, after all, tbe best part of educa
tion is not ihe dry knowledge obtained
from books and maps and diagrams, bui
is imparled when teaching and being
taught is farthest from our minds. It
thed into us by the subtle infec
tion of pure aims and lofiy aspirations.
It is imparled by the electric commu
nications of right feelings and noble
sentiments. No where can the mind
gain knowledge so rapidly and so well
as in listening to the conversation of
the accomplished and well informed.
The best part of education must be
received at home, the education ofihe
heart, by the influence of a sympathy
with those we love, too delicate lo be
analyzed or defined. There- we daily
look into the souls of those whom na
ture has tiiuglu tis ‘most to reverence
and imitate. If there we see. as in a
pure mirror, the images of the noblest
virtues, integrity, tru’.b, honor, justice,
piety to God, and kindness to men, wi
are more likely to be transferred into
him lo lisp his prayer*?
A beautiful sight-it Was, that child at
prayer in the midst of.qis busy, thought-
les throng. He, alone, of this worldly
multitude, draws nigh to heaven. 1
thank the parental love that taught him
to lisp his evening prayer, whether Cal h-
olicor Protestant, whether dead or living,
wheiher far offer nigh. I could scarce re
frain from weeping then, nor can I now,
ns I see again that sweet child, in the
crowded tumult nf a steamboat’s cabin,
bending in devotion before his Maker.
But a little while before, I saw a
crowd of admiring listeners gathering
about a company of Italian singers in
the upper saloon—a mother and two
sons, with voice and harp, and violin;
but no one heeded, no one cared for the
child at prayer.
' When the little boy had finished his
evening devotion, he arose arid kissed
his father most affectionately, who put
him into his berth to rest for the night.
1 felt a strong desire to speak to them,
but deferred it till morning. When
morning came, the confusion of landing
prevented me from seeing them again.
But, if ever I meet that wy in his hap
py youth, in hiV anxious manhood, in
his declining years, Pll thank him for
the influence and example of that night’s
devotion, and bless the name of the
mother that taught him.
Scarcely any passing incident of my
life ever made a deeper impression on
my mind. I went to my room, and
thanked God that I had witnessed it,
and for its influence on my heart. Who
prays on a steamboat? Who train
their children to pray, even at home ?—

when the body is formed to vigor and
health, the mind to action, and the
character lo energy aud virtue, or lo
efletniuacy aud vice. They nre destin

health, and nurses in sickness. In the
schools, therefore, something should be
done to qualify them for these offices.
There are laws of the structure of their
bodies, which the Maker oft hose bo
dies has established ; laws of Nature—
laws of life and health, which the Au-
ihor of Nature has made. These laws
are not numerous, nor difficult in he un
derstood. They have that admirable
simplicity which marks their author
ship; but they are unspeakably impor
tant. These laws children, especially
girls, should learn. They should learn
the properties ol the air they breathe,
and the necessity of ita abundance and
purity; the influences of cold and of
heat, of light and darkness; the vital
importance of well-ventilated rooms,
of cleanliness, of warm clothing, of

A Beautiful Little Story*
A few weeks since* in coming down
ihe North River, I was sealed in the
cabin of the magnificent steamer Isaac
Newton, in conversation with some
friends. It was .becoming, late in ihe
evening, anti one after another seeking
repose from the cares .and toils of the
flay, made preparations to retire to their
berths. Some pulling off their boots and
coals, lay themselves down to rest ; oth
ers, in the attempt to. make it seem as
much like- home ns possible, threw off
more of their clothing-r-each one as his'
comfort or apprehension of.danger dic

A traveller having made an excellent
supper at an inn in North Wales, ob
served that ‘ nobody could have made
a better.*
* Stop, stop,* said the landlord, * you
e in Wales, sir, and must not make
personal comparisons, without adding,
the Mayor excepted.’
* No,’ rejoins, tbe other, * I’ll except
neither Mayor or alderman; I say no
man could have made a belter supper
than 1 have done.’
* Will you not ?” said Boniface.—-
‘ Then let me lell you, you’ll be fined
five shillings.’
* Fined or confined, it matters not;
I’ll not except a soul of them.”
The landlord made his bow and exit,
hut the next morning summoned his
guest before the Mayor for the act of
petty treason, and the fine was in con
sequence exacted and paid; when the
traveller, turning rouud to the landlord,
in open court thus addressed him :
* I have traveled through a greater
partnt England. Scotland and Ireland,
and except the identical animal that
chews the thistle, I have never met
wilh so egregious an ass as you are,

of profound reverence to the bench, lie

Spring Cabbage* for fhe South.
We often hear that Spring Cabbage ^
will not head freely in this climate, but
if we would have them head, we must
adapt their culture lo the climate. Jt, ,
is well known by every gardenef that
cabbage heads more freely in a cool,
climate than a hot one. Now Spripg
Cabbage seed sowed in February and
March are very liable to be killed by .
the frosts, and if the young plant es
capes frost, the extreme hoi weather of
May is very apt to take them just as
they are about to head, and the plant
either runs to seed, or the immature bead
and is worthless. We are now
(May 20th) eating as fine head cabbage ..
(tom our garden ns \va9 ever raised by '
him of Kinderhonk, before he fell to the .
Presidency. In September and Opip*
ber last, when we sowed our laie tur- ,
ps, we mixed with them the seed of
the early drumhead and ox heart cab- .
bnge. The cabbage plants have siopd
all the frosts of our winter, and ere we
had plants sufficiently large to trans-
plmt of our spring sowing, we had, fine
heads from the fall sowed seed, A
portion of these we transplanted, but.
wc find they Head equally ns well with
out transplanting, and.the heads are
much larger and finer than those from
spring sowed seed, and another great
advantage, no cut worm troubles »o
old a stalk.— Columbia Enquirer.
