AGENTS WANTED FOR The False Education of enr Daughters. The English nobleman who sends to Paris for his daughter's dresses is reasonably certain that he, and his daughter’s husband after him, can continue sending, and that in the training of his child he is foster ing no habit which can not he right fully indulged in. The American knows, it he knows anything, that the habits of luxury in which his child is reared unfit her for the du- lies of the life to which she will in all likelihood be called—that he can not hope that his family wealth can long survive him, any more tha that his daughter will love a man to whom that wealth will be unimpor tant. Experience and observation alike tell him that wealth, in this country, rarely continues in a family three generations, and that at any time he may find himself a poor man again. Yet he regulates his life and that of his children as if his wealth and theirs were assured forevter, and as hough his habits of a 1 fetime were to he broken like wisps of straw. His daughters are not fit to marry any but the rich men they ex perience so much difficulty in find* ing, and a man of moderate means ,u u vn,t '“! *T as king them to change their habits ol life. There are few sadder pictutes than the one we see when some such woman of braver heart than most of her sex chooses the portion of a poor man’s love and vainly seeks to adapt her self to a life ol which she has hither to known nothing.

W ell do we remember listening with open mouth hihI eyes to conversa tions which we were supposed to be upon ^ a j fur too young to comprehend. There was much that was ;not plain, of course, but much still that we did see the meaning of, even though it were as through a glass darkly. We had a habit of putting this and that together, in our youthful mind, and ol submitting things doubtful to a searching process of reasoning that led us to conclusions so nearly cor rect as to have rather astounded our parents and advisers, had they dreamed ol such a proclivity in us. We knew as well as they when anything of importance was under going discussion ; and we listened, and we guessed at what we did not prehend, until we were nearly as wise as those who so im prudently forgot 1 hat ‘little pitchers’ have not only ‘large e*. 3,’ but also inquiring minds, which demand sat isfaction. That is not all. Words . and phrases—»ven whole conversa- 1 ion^ which are necessarily unin- ’“lligiblc 10 the limited capacity of a rival in London. The deep concern which must have beset Strudwick’s household at the illness of their guest may be imagined. The dis tance from Redcross street was r.ot great, and the first person consulted would probably be George Cokayn. Taken ill at the house of one of Co kayn’s deacons, it is not unreasona ble to srtpppose that he was one of (clearly catm the earlisst to visit the sit k pilgrim, and render what help he could on such an emergency. For ten days Bunyan lingered, waiting “for lh/ good hour,” when the post shoulc “come from »he celestial city.” Dur ing this lime he conversed with his Dost an.1 me itic.ni, |,; m upon “sin,” “affliction,” “repent-1 child, win olien imn r Tnt7h7o‘-’T * ance and coming to Christ,” “pray- I ,ndelil,!y up,,,, the ,„L SJu er,^ and ktndred toptca.

Assuming necessity of both the social and secular elements, in any attempt to attract »ad uuide the young in the right way for innocent and beneficial diversions and am ments, it is obvious to remark that one of the purest and simplest ways of interesting and leading forward the young aright, in this matter, is that of private social parties, in which the old and young, parents and children, gills and boys of suit able age for receiving the common benefit, mingle together for the sole purpose ol friendly intercourse and mutual pleasure and improvement, bv conversation, music and such other things, with or without refresh ments, as may be appropriate to a Christian home and to Christian peo ple. To some excellent persons, the time, labor and expense, slight as each may be, may seem of little im portance, if not a positively culpable waste, but we are persuaded they err in their judgment of the effect of hem upon the young, and their use fulness to all. In agricultural dis tricts where the villages are small and the population comparatively sparse, social gatherings as a means of strengthening the ties of home and its virtues, and of filling the young mind with wholesome food for its cravings and the young heart with increasing love of the pure and good can hardly be exaggerated. The time passed in these home “socia bles,” in which friends and neigh bors mutually greet and enliven each other, is well spent. In many in stances it returns an hundred fold in advantages to the growing char- acter of the young, and in fresh courage and good cheer to those who are bearing the heavy burdens of the day.— Vt.

The first pioneers of Ohio did not settle until twenty years after this time. A hundred years ago Cana da belonged to France, and the pop ulation did not exceed a million and a half of people. A ImmhoJ yon., ago the great Frederick ot Prussia was performing those grand exploits wbL-h have made him immortal in military «nr.als, and with his little monarchy wa» sustaining a single- handed contest with Russia, Austria and France, the three great powers of Europe combined. Washington was a modest Virginia colonel, and the great events in history of the two worlds in which these great but dis- similar men took leading parts were then scarcely foreshadowed. A hun dred years ago the United Stales were the most loyal part of the Brit ish Empire, and on the political hor izon no speck indicated the struggle which within a score of years there after established the great republic of the world. A hundred years ago there were but four newspapers in America! Steam engines had not been imagined, and railroads and telegraphs had not entered into the remotest conception of men. When we come to look back at it through the vista of history we find that to the century just passed has been al lotted more important events in their bearing upon the happiness of the world than almost any other which has elapsed since the creation.— SanFrancisco Bulletin. One wet night in August there rode up to the house of Deacon Strudwick, on Snow Hill, a man of some fifty-nine years, whose clothes we*e soaking with wet. The greet ing between the two men proved they were old acquaintances, and that a bond of more than ordinary friendship existed between them.— The strangerjs face was that of a man of undaunted resolution, yet there was a dreaminess about the expression of the eye that betoken ed a religious enthusiast. His hair was iron gray, and there was a cer tain yielding of the ftaine, as of a man who had long passed the prime of his days. Since this man did du ty as a soldier at the siege of Lei cester he had passed twelve years in prison, and the chief product of that imprisonment was the “Pil grim’s Progress.” It was John Bunyan who was the guest of John Strudwick. The gre^it Baptist 10 memory, and their lull significance learned, when add ed years have brought the kAo.wl- dge necessary to their comprehen sion. We know this to be so from our own experience, and doubt not that many can corroborate the asser tion. nothing before children that yon would rather they should not fully understand ; for they comprehend far more than one would believe pos- ~ 1 notone’s own recollection {>ro\e trie ^ | a( jy to j ( j U3 once that, so sure was she iti tt i ohildren’s capacity for understanding the con versation of grown-up people was so universally underrated, that she bau always made it a rule to send her own young (laughters from the room whenever conveisation touched dD* on matters sne prrierreu inev snoula know nothing about, and was confi dent much good had resulted from this practice. It would certainly do no harm, and could scarcely fail to keep them from much that, being too young to comprehend, might have been of lasting injury from the erroneous ideas, conversations, in nocent enough in themselves, might have conveyed to their untried minds. Suppress the Bad.—A lady wri ter prefaces a biographical notice ol one of her friends with these perti nent and suggestive remarks: “Would not this world be a beL ter world if the press gave more space to the record of virtue, and less to that of vice? If, instead of police reports, the sayings and do ings of the vicious and depraved, our papers brought us accounts of good deeds done, good words spoken, good lives lived, and good hopes ot better words and deeds and lives in the great future, would they not fur nish a better aliment to the soul, while the body is refreshed by the morning and evening meals ? I think the answer ‘yes,’ and tbit we might as well hope to form healthy bodies by eating decayed food as healthy souls by feeding on the garbage ol crime.” R. W. Durham, a rich Cali form an, died joking. He bequeathed one hundred thousand dollars to the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum ol San Francisco, adding that he en joyed the con-o'ing n flection that his ben. ficiaries e< old not talk about him after death. The last word is the most danger ous of infernal machines. Husband and wife should no more strive to get it than they would struggle to get possaeion of a lighted bomb shell. The three imlispensable6 of geni us are understanding, feeling and perseverance. The three things that enrich genius are, contentment of mind, the cherishing of good thoughts and the exercise ot memory. True piety is not a morose, but a cheerful thing ; whilst it makes trie joyful, it delivers me from frivolity; yet it causes me to be pleasant and glad. The iatter part of a wise man’s life is taken up in curing the follies, prejudices and false opinions he has contracted in the former. Nothing shows one who his friends are like prosperity and ripe fruit. I had a good friend in the country, whom 1 almost never visited except in cherry time. By your fruits you shall know them. It is evident that the most worthy efforts often fail, while the worst succed. This fact alone ought lo show the folly of basing an estimate ofcharacter on a superficial reckon ing of results. Politeness is like an air-cushion— there may be nothing in it, but it eases our jolts wonderfully. A good word is an easy obliga tion ; but not to speak ill, requires only our silence, which costs us nothing. How to. ruin a son.—1. Let him have his own way. 2. Allow him free use of money. 3.

A New Bedford barber cut off" part of a boy’s ear on Monday in giving him a close cut. The knight of the shears expressed the opinion that the boy being young it will probably grow out again. T , Temperance, indeed, is a bridle of gold ; and he who uses it rightly, i$ more like a god than a man.
