FT! HE spirit of inquiry, which hag of late years
J. extended to* every thing connected with
human improvement, has been directed with pe
culiar earnestness to the subject of education.
In our own country, the basis of whose institu
tions is feltto be intelligence and virtue, this topic
has been regarded as one of no ordinary interest*,
and has excited a zeal and an activity worthy of
its importance. By judicious endeavors to adapt
the character of instruction to the progressive
requirements of the public mind, much has been
done to continue and accelerate the carder of
improvement. Thesevery efforts, however, and
this success, have produced the conviction that
much remains to be done.
A periodical work, devoted exclusively to edu
cation, would seem likely to be of peculiar ser
vice at the present day, when an interest in this
subject is so deeply aud extensively felt. At no
eriod have opportunity and disposition for the
extensive interchange and diffusion of thought
been so favorably combined. Science mid Liter
ature have their respective publications, issuing
at regular intervals from the press, and contri
buting incalculably to the dissemination of know
ledge and of taste. But education, a subject of
the highest practical importance to every school,
every family, and every individual in the com
munity, remains unprovided with one of those
popular and useful vehicles of information. A
minute detail of the advantages which may be
expected to result from a periodical work, such
as is now proposed, we think unnecessary With

WESTERN STATES.
The unparalleled increase of population
in the West—the mildness of the climate
ant. fertility of the soil, have long atrrnct-
ed the attention and admiration of our Ea
stern neighbors. Since the beginning of
the present century, the tide of emfgtation'
I ,13S silently poured its thousands into the
bosom of the w ilderness. Tbe forest has
j disappeared under the sturdy blows of the
iSturdy backwoodsman, and grave villages
and tilled fields have arose on every side
to break the long chain of savage life*, and
to establish in its place the "sociaf aud
peaceful habits of civilization.
Now, too, the sunburnt seaman who afar
Athwart the bosom of the bouadle-s deep,
Thro’ the wild billows ploughs his rugged way,
When having, briskly furled the flappiig sail
And h s staunch vessel’carefully secured 1
Against the dangers of toe darksome.hours. ■
I-owards his distant home directs his thoughts,
And fondly calls to mind his absent friends,
And the last ling’ring look and sad adieu,
Of her the secret idol of his svul.
The sanguine youth just stepping on the'stage
Of busy manhood, flushed with hope c ate,
Anticipating the quick foot oftime,
Aud blaming eagerly its tardy steps,
Now dwelrs on ail the visionary scenes
-•Which fancy's magic pencil bodies forth
I11 numerous variety of forms,
Of glory, wealth,'ambition, fame or iove„
Alas’! -he thinks not with what cruel speed,
Time rushes ou ts dissipate his joy,
Aud mock h|m with lifif’s stern realities.
. 7 ho’ bending’nefctli the load of cumbrous years
This sil ut hour steals o’er the good man’s heart,
Shedding a glow of mere intense delight
Than pleasure’s votaries can ever l'eel;
When he surveys, with retrospective glance,
The onward path he has pursued through;life,
Brightly illumed by many a worthy deed,
And still as nearer to the end he draws,
Growing in beauty and in brilliancy.
So at the close of a fair summer’s day,
The sun descending in the western s*kv,
O’er the calm bosom of the oceau leaves
A flaming track, which, as he nears the main,
More brightly glows and farther still extends,
, Ev’n till the moment when he sinks to rest.
• But, chie he whom rigid fate has doom’d
To roam in exile from his nntiveland
More" keenly feels the magic of this hour,
In which,he fondly broods with miser care
* On the gay scenes and visions of his youth
The swelling liiiis. itn- culiivatcd vale,
The verdant flow’rv fields, the winding stream,
All rise io bright perspective to his view,
Arid conjures up the well-remembered form
Of heri’who oft beneath the spreading thorn
When twilight flung its dubious shade around
lias blest with eestacy l.is longing arms,
And made him often doubt, could they but last,
If neaven bad greater blessings to bestow.
Alas ! what sick’ning sorrow does he feel
" To think those jov s are now forev r flown !
Hike him who in Arabia’s deserts drear,
Siuking beneath th accumulated ill*
Of burning thirst and nooutide’s scorching rays,
^ Turns ruefully his death-depicted eye,
To’rds tbe cool fountain he forsook at morn.

opportunity will thus be afforded for a fair com
parison of the merits of various systems of in
struction. 'i he results of actual experiment will
be presented ; and the causes of failure, as well
as ofsuctess, may thus be satisfactorily traced,
and be made to suggest valuable improvements.
The "conductors of the Jouesal will make it
their constant endeavor to aid in diffusing enlarg
ed and liberal views of education. Nothing, it
seems to us, has more influence in retarding the
progress of improvement in the scienceof instruc
tion, than narrow and impartial views of what
education should be expected to produce. Intel
lectual attainments have been too exclusively the
object ol attention. It is too common a thing to
cons dcr a man well educated, if he lms 'madea
proper use of the facilities for the acquisition of
learning ; though the result may have been ob
tained at the expense of his health, and with much
neglect of that inoral'culture, which is the surest'
foundation of happiness. In many plans of edu
cation, which are in other respects excellent, the
fact seems to have been overlooked that man pos
sesses an animal, and a moral, as well as an in
tellectual constitution. Hence the fatal neglect
. of the requisite provisions for the devclopemcnt
of the corporeal system, & the confirmation and
improvement of health, the only touudation of
mental as well as bodily power. The moral de
partment of education has too commonly been
restricted to an occasional word of parental ap-
probation or reproof; or, at the best, to efforts
limited by the sphe're of domestic life. The natu
ral consequence of the restrictions' thus unjustly
laid on education, is, that we often find, in the
same individual a learned head; but a debilitated
body, and a neglected heart. Education should,
we think, be regarded as IheVneans offitting man
for the discharge of all his duties : it should pro
duce vigorous and hardy bodies, trained ta pow
erful action, and inured to privation and fatigue;
hearts formed to all that is pure and noble in
moral principle^; and minds prepared for effi
cient exertion in whatever may be their depart
ment in the great business of accomplishing the
purposes of human existence. I nder these im-
inoves all those evils which an unsuccessful use
of mercury so often occasions. No one, how

The ! egetable Syrup, called Swaim’s Pana
cea, prepared by Mr. Swaiin, of Philadelphia,
has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price,
from the United States of America, where it is
now extensively used in the treatment of a varie
ty of Chronic Diseases.
Of the efficacy of this preparation Dr- Price
has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence,
during a course of experiments made under his
direction, whilst Surgeon of the Pennsylvania
Hospital; and since his arrival in England, he
has had the good fortune of witnessing many ad
ditional instances of Us successful administration.
Tiie diseases in which this Medicine has been
particularly useful, arc those arising from con

Scrofula, whethei affecting the bones, joints, or
soft parts; and in cases, where a disposition to
this disease is manifested by debility only, il
operates a$ a prevent ive to the local disease by
its beneficial effects on the constitution. It is
equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in
the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately
been gi"en with marked success in chronic dis

The subject of female education is one which
was deemed unspeakably important. We have
no hesitation in expressiug-our conviction that it
has not yet received the consideration which it
merits. Whatever concerns the culture of the
female niind,-extends ultimately to the formation
of all minds, at that early and susceptible period
when maternal influence is forming the iinpres-
s ons which eventually terminate in mental and
15101 ai habits. But the theme is too lull of impor
tant and interesting topics to admit of discussion
m a prospectus. There is no department of our
labours, Trom which we,anticipate a higher grati
fication, than onr endeavors to aid the instruc
tion of the ff-mhle sex.
Our efforts shall he directed chiefly to early
and elementary education, because it 'is, in our
Challenging a Jury.—-Att Irish officer,
not very conversant in law terms, was
lately tried for ah assault. As the jury

A dancer said to a Spartan, “ You can

will hold any freedom but yours."
%icw, more important than that ot;any other pc-
riod or department. At the same time, we shall
not omit the higher branches of science and lit
erature, nor the training preparatory to profes
sional pursuits. In particular branches of hi-
struclion, we have 110 favorite theories to obtrude.
To what is of old standing, we have no hostility
arising merely from its being old. Novelty we
shall always regard as an indifferent circum
stance, rather than a leconimendation. But ex
planatory, practical instruction, under whatever
name it may appear, we shall be happy all times
to aid with ouf best exertions.
