‘Family Education. — Every one knows
that Cobbctt’s Inroe family of energetic,
well informed children never went to school,
ot received wh.it is called reijuhii teaching.
Tho means amt implements of learning
were scattered freely around them and they
were taught wiint curiosity or occasion in
duced them to desire to leant. This sys
tem, or no system, produced, however, all
the results which the best education aims
at, the fullest power to perceive, to-compute
and to decide—the ability to think and act
justly and efficiently in the business of life.
In a retired neighborhood of an interior
toivn of our republic, ala rue family teceiv
ed not indy a useful, hut vvhnt the world
called a brilliant education in the same
manner. The mother was uneducated be
yond the ability to read and write a very
little, and an invalid. The father was a
well read man, and fond of books. “ The
children were taught to read by their moth
er, an I their slates, journals, Rees’ L'ncyclo
peril.i. and the newspapers, did the rest,”
sahl lhr- bilhtM- one nay. in ie>.ly to an en
quiry’ as toliow lie had managed,in that out of
the way spot to educate his children so well.
They have won their way—both sons
and daughters—to distinguished places in
society, and the Graceful readiness with
which everyone of them can meet auv sub
ject, has in the best informed circles been
commented upon and admired. From the
moment they could read a newspaper,these
children were in the habit of doing so daily.
If a place was named in it, the map and
Gazetteer were referred to at once, and
he tceforih it was not an idle word, but a fa
miliar bcq'niutunee. ,So too of historical
names—so to •if the terms, in science
and in art. It was but to turn to tho wool
in its alphabetical order, and with simple
and distinct accuracy its properties became
at puce and forever a pail of the young
child's knowledge. As soon as each child
.could make its letters, in emulation of its
i I’.lior and elder companions, it commenced
a journal. Tho crabbed illegible entry of
half a line sunn giew to a page a day of
clear ami beautiful writing ornamented
with occasional drawings.
These j >a nals were often referred to in
the family circle, for as they were faithful
ttrmscripts of the writer’s observations and
opinions, they were very valuable records
of the changes :u and impmvemetits going on
around them. At all events, with their
journals and library of reference, these chil
dren entered the world, to all intents better
fitted to shine and to influence, than many
collegians. Oi auv half a dozen young per
sons of similar capacity, let one <1 vote
twenty minutes a day to keeping a journal,
adopting a regular habit of inrmng to a
map, dictionary, or encyclopedia foi every
place or word not ideally understood, us it
occurs, null in one year that person will he
astonished to find how fir the others are
left behind. Uy this means, the perceptive
and reasoning powers of tin* mind will he
developed. A library of reference is indis
pensably necessary in every family and
school.
IJno to he Loved. —One evening, Maria’s
father related in her presence an anecdote
of a little daughter of Dr. Doddridge,
which pleased Maria extremely. When
this child, about six years old, was asked
what made every body love her ? site re
plied, “I don’t know indeed, papa, unless
it is because l love every body. ’ Ihe beau
tiful simplicity of this reply struck Maria
forcibly. “If that is nil that is necassary to
be loved,” thought Maria, “I will soon
make every body love me.” Her father
mentioned a remark of John Newton, that
he considered the wot Id t > he divided into
two great masses, one of happiness, and
the other of misery ; ami it was his daily
business to take as much as possible from
the heap of misery and add it to that of hap
piness. “ NuW,” thought Maria, “ 1 will
begin to-morrow to make every body happy.
Instead of thinking all the time about my
elf, 1 will ask every minute what I can do
for somebody else. Papa lias often told me
that this is the best way of being happy my
self, uiul I am ileleimined to try.”
He that putteth n bible into the hands of a
child gives him more than a kingdom ; f u it
gives him • key to the kiugdoro of heaven.
To a Mother. —Youthful mother, as you
bend over the era.lie of your fiisl horn in
f.int, do yi >ti realize the tre :~ n: e coni mi: ted
to your cure | Do you realize that in that
linv form lives a spuk of the Eternal Es
seence —a branch of life breathed into it
by liod himself, and do not yon remember
that it run never die—never. Do what
your Hiild may—become what lie may, lie
can never rea-e to be—forward, onward
and st ill miw aid is his destiny. And do you
not know that it rests, 1 had almost said
wholly, but by the blessing of God, it does
rest pri n< i | inlly with you whether the cllcr
ished dulling, that sweet hahe shall, a mil
lion of years lienee, be a seraph, radient
and pine, bowing with the thousand times
ten thousand In-foie the t roue of God, or
a fiend, n demon. Do van s’ udder ? Ah,
well you might at this awful responsibility,
were then* no atm to sustain von, no hea
venly [’ather to strengthen, no holy spirit
to guide von.
But I entreat von look thoughtfully, so
berly at the irtdiiy, at lie future as it is.—
liaise your eyes foun the rates, and It iis
and burdens of tin- household, and glance
over that illimitable spare whieh opens be
fore you. Does (lot your sou! rouse ‘itself
and feel some aspiration aft. r the bolv and
good ? some desire for a hiyher life that:
this? Come then, with the beautiful, the
beloved one in your arms, and offer both
yourself utii! ilie Inibe which God hath giv
en yon, to Hint. He will graciously re
ceive yon, and evermore bless and shield
you. He will give both strength in the hour
of temptation, consolation in the hour of
trial, peace ill the hour of danger, joy in
the hour of death, and bliss, etniial, im
speakaltle, inconceivable bliss, tlimngii the
whole of that long foiev r which von see*
stretching out bt’lutv you.— Youth's Com
panion.
The Young Man's Leisure. Young
man 1 after the unties of the day ate over,
how do yon spend your evenings 1 When
luisirie-s i> dull, and leaves many unoccupi
ed hours, what disposition do von make of
them? I have known, and now know, ma
ny young men. who, if they devoted to any
scientific, or literary, or professional pursuit,
the t'me they spend in games of chance,
and in lounging in bed, and in idle compa
ny, might rise to eminence. You have all
read the sexton’s son, who became a fine
astiotmmer by spending a short time every
evening iti gazing at the stars, after tinging
the hell for nine o’clock. Sir \\ illiain
Phipps, who at the age of forty-five had at
tained the older of knighthood, and tile of
fices of sheriff of New England and Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, learned to read
and write, after his eighteenth year, of a
ship carpenter in Boston. William Gifford
the great editor of the Quarterly, was an
apprentice to a shoemaker, and spent his
leisure hours in study. And because he
had neither pen nor paper, slate nor pencil,
he wrote out his problems on smooth leath
er with a 1 ib>tilit awl. David Rittetilioiise,
the American Astronomer, when a plough-
Iw.y, was observed to have covered his
plough and the fences with figures and cal
culations. Janies Ft-igusoii, the great
Scotch astionomer. Icann and to read hv him
self, and masteicd tin* eleinen's of astrono
my whilst a shcplieid’a hoy in the fields by
night. And perhaps it is not too much to
say, that if the bonis wasted in idle connvi
ny, in vain eoiivnsa ion and at tin- tavern,
were only spent in the pursuit of useful
knowledge, the dullest young man might
become an iutcllii cut member of society,
and a fit peisi n fi r most of our civil offices.
By such a course, the thick covering of ma
ny a youth might la’ laid aside ; and theii
ideas, instead if being confined to local sub
jects and ptofessional technicalities, might
range throughout the wide field of creation;
and other stais from the young men of this
country might lie added to the list of wor
thies that is gilding nur country with bright
mellow light— Her. Me. Murray.
An Admonition. — Every young fcmirii’

will they not awake to their duty ? What
vice, vvliat suffering and misery may he
spared them, By discountenancing the use
of ardetil spirits, and hv discouraging the

under the ‘femperat.ee banner, and light
valiantly in the good cause, it would tint hit

some new problem is solved, or some profound secret

view ov i [he past twenty years, how is the mind struck
with wonder! What rapid strides has science mad,
in every department of civilized lile ! particularly in
that which relates to the knowledge of the human sys
tem in henhli nnd disease. How valuable and iiidis.
prin-nble are the curative means recently discovered
through the agency of Chemistry! How does the im

boi's o| Physiology, or the science of Life, and the Pa

know ledge has been gained. In consequence of he
coming acquainted wi.li ihe organization, thp elements
of the various tissues and structures of the system, rem

adapted to combine w iih, neutralize and expel morbific

Newark, (N..!.) Pecrniher 15,1812.
Messrs. Sands—Gentlemen : Words cannot expires
the gratitude I feel for your treatment to ire, a stran
ger suffering under one of the most loathsome diseases
that naiiire i- enpahle of he aring. The disease with
which 1 was afflicted eoimtn ncrd with inflammation
of 1 1 ip eves, in ‘he rear IS3f>, which caused altimsl to
tal blindness. For this I w ns'reated and finally relievrdj
but the remedies were sit'di as to cause the develop
ment ot a scroiuloua affection on my Itftarni near the
el! nw.
The pain extended from the shoulder to die end of
my fingers, and for two years my eufierings were be
yond description, I tried various ri medics and consult
ed different Physicians in New York, and amongst
them the late Dr. fiusho, who told me the disease whs
caused hy the large quantity of mercury taken to cue
thp inflammation ol mv eves.
My “iifieiiii"s continued,- the arm enlarged, tumours
formed in iliflerriil plates, and inn few mouths'dis
charged, making ten running ulcers ai one time,seme
above at and son>e below li e elbow , and the discharge
was so offensive that on person could hear to he in the
room where 1 was l then applied to another distiti
gmslied Physician, ho told me nmpu'atinn of the ar-i
was the nnlv thing that cmil l save toy life, as i - was
impossible to cure so dreadful a disease ; but as I v.hs
unwilling to consent to ii he rreommrt di'd me to ore
Bwaim’s Panacea freely, which I did without derivin'-’
hut little benefit
For three years I was uuah’o to raise my hand to my
head or comb my I air. nod the scrofula now made its
niqiearauic on my head, destroying ihe hone in differ-
Pill places, musing’ extensive ulcerations anil I learrd
i’ might ri ach and di-strov ti e hrnin—the head swelled
verv titiu h, arcciupnnif ri with violent pain, numerous
external remedies were recommended, hut they.did no
good. About n year since I was taken ‘i verelv ill with
a swelling if the body from head to foot, so that 1 was
entirely helpless; the Doctor advised me to go to the
Hospital, for he did not understand mv case ; for the
1 st lew months 1 had hren afflicted with a severe pain
in bo h side”, at tinus so hard 1 could scarcely get my
breath A hacking cough constantly annoyed me. and
this combined with my other maladies, rendered me
truly miserable.
Such, gentVmen, had hern try situation fiir seven
year* of my life when I commenced the use of your
Sarsaparilla, but as my ease was considered hopeless,
and the near pr sped of a speedy dissolution seemed
inevitable. I felt but hide encouragement to persevere.
The persuasion o r friends induced me to fry your med
icine, which in a few days produced ngtent changein
my system gent rul y, by causing an appetite,relieving
ihe pains, and giving me strength ; as success inspires
confidence, 1 was encouraged to persevere, my pains
prew ensier. my strength returned, (nod relished, the
ulcers healed, new flesh formed, end I once more felt
within me that I might get well. I have now ttsrd the
Barsaparilla nlio-.t two n miths and am now like a dif
ferent being. The arm that was to be amfctatep
has entirely healed, n thing that seemed impossible. I
can seareelv believe the evidence of mv ow n eyes, but
such is the fact; and it is now as useful as at any pe
riod of mv life, and n:y general health is better than it
has hren lor vt ars pa-t.
Health ; what magic in the vvord ! Imw mnnv thou
sands hnvesoeeht it in foreign lands and sunny climes,
and have sought in vain ! Yet it entne to me when l
had given up to die, and as I feel the pulsations of health
coursing through mv veins, mv whole heart and soul
go forth in fervent gratitude to ihe author of all our sure
mercies, that he has been graciously pleased to bless
the means made use of.
Tritlv have you proved yourself the Good Samaritan
to the afflicted, for next to my Creator my life is indebt
ed to you (or rather) the use of your invaluable Sareapa
rilla The. value of stteh a medicine is countless be
yond price; money cannot pay for it. I have been
raised from death, I may tav, tor my friends and myself
thought it impossible that I could recover. And now,
gentlemen, suffer mo to add another proof certified too
hv my friends and guardians as a just acknowledgment
of tha virtues of your health restoring Sarsaparilla.—
That the afflicted mav also use it nnd enjoy the bene
fits it alone ran ronfer, is the heartfelt, fervent wish ol
their and your friend, MARTHA CONLiN.
I know Martha Conlm and believe what 6he state*
in this document to be perfectly true.
