A little flower so lowly grew, So lonely was it left, That heaven looked like an eye of blue Down its little cleft. What could a little flower do In such a darksome place, But try to roach that eye of blue, And climb to ki s heaven’s face 1 And there’s no life so lone and low But strength may still be given, From the narrow’st lot on earth to grow The s raighler up to heaven. [From the Home and School. TMlipiES. ' BY ANNIE M. BARNWELL. A few evenings since I was taking tea with a friend, who has four chil dren between the ages of seven and thirteen. I was so intimate with the family that my presence placed no re straint upon their mode of passing the evening, and when we gathered round the fire after tea my friend, Mrs. R. said: “Get your books, children. We do not make company o i Cousin Anuie, you know.” As the children left the room she turned to me, with a sigh, saying: “I cannot think why it is that my children get on so badly at school, and make such slow progress in learning, Annie. I fear they are all hopelessly dull; for though Mr. R. and myself spare no labor iri teaching them their lossous, and they attend the best school in the city, yet the}- are fearfully back ward, and seem to make no improve ment. It is a hitter trial to us both.” The riturii of the children inter rupted her, and prevented my replying. I did not feel much pleased at the sight of their hooks, for I had anticipated a pleasant chat with my friends, and thought the children could just as well have studied in the next room and left us at liberty to converse. But I soon found their lessons were learned in the parlor. Mr. and Mrs. R. each took one of the children, and proceed ed to teach tluir lesson, while tiie two others waited for their turn lo come. I watched them awhile, and then said to the oldest girl who sat beside me : “Why do you not study your lesson, Alice ?” “I'm waiting for someone to go it over with me,” she replied. “Let me see the lesson.” She handed me the book, and I found it was a Webster’s spelling-book, open at a pago containing words of four syllables. “What prevents you studying this without help ?” I said. “It seems to me very easy.” “I don’t know how to pronounce the words, ma'am.” “I think you could find out,” I re plied. “ Come, try. Tell me what this word is.” I pointed to “misanthropic,” and after one lazy glance at it she replied. “I don’t know, ma’am.” “Well, spell it, and see if you cannot find out.” She drawled, with evident reluctance. “M is an thro p i o. I don’t know what that spells.” “But, my dear, have you never heard of syllables ? Here the word is divid ed for you too. Come, what does mi s spcll ?” “Mis, I suppose,” was her ungracious reply. '“Very well. Now, an ?” “.An.” “ T h r o p ?” “Throp.” “I c ?” “Ic.” “Well, there is no difficulty about * each syllable, then. Now, surely you I cau put them together. This was done, and thu word at last spelled and pronounced correctly. Then I listened and found that the inode.of teaching pursued by my friends was to tell the child the word, and then go it over and over with him until it j was committed to memory. From spell- j ing they went to geography, where the ( same system was employed ; and so on j through the list of studies. At ten | o'cioek the books were put up, and the children sent to bed with a sharp reproof for their stupidity. Both pa* louts and children were cross and tired, and I freely confess that I shared in these feelings. My pleasant evening was taken from me, and I went home determined that in future my visits to Mrs. R. should be made during that part of the day when the children were away at school. Dear reader whose duty it is to teach the young, do you pursue the system of instruction employed by my friends, Mr. and Mrs. R. ? To parents in par ticular I would adJrcss this question. Teachers have very little time to de vote io each scholar individually, and besides it is while the lessons are being prepared at home that the evils of this system have most effect. It has fre quently been my lot to witness parents laboring over their children’s lessons in this manner, and doing them the great est possible harm, while effecting not the slightest good. In teaching a child the principle object should he to make him think. Ho had better learn to spell, three words a day by It is own ex ertion of mind and thought than ho taught thirty by the exertion of an other’s patience and strength of lungs. Children are not parrots, though not a few teachers seem to think them so Of course cultivating the memory should not he overlooked; hot the regular daily lessons should he learned by mind and reason, not by memory. In my many years of experience as a teacher the evil done by this very common mistake of cultivating the memory at the ex pense of the reason has often struck me very forcibly. In parsing, for in stance —which I am bold enough to declare frankly an exercise of compara tively little real use, in my opinion— in parsing I have often seen a child become confused, and finally break down utterly, when I was certain lie perfectly understood and could cor rectly apply the purport of the rule, although lie had forgotton the rigidly required number and exact wording of it. In most studies I much prefer that my scholars should give me the ideas or facts of the lesson in their own words rather than those of the book In the latter case I am never sure that they arc fully comprehended, while in the former I know iu exactly what do- ! gree they are understood. So strong 1 arc my convictions on this subject that in two or three instances lately I have actually dared to take liberties with the time-honored and dignified multiplica tion table, and to venture upon teaching it in anew way. Instead of making the child commit it to memory iu tho first hours of his introduction to the j delightful study of arithmetic, I put it j off until addition and substruction were thoroughly mastered, and then gave him a line at a time, in the form of a sum on his slate and kept him at that line until be knew it perfectly, not only by rote but by reason. I would not be understood by these brief remarks to undervalue the im portance of cultivating the memory. But it seems to me that in its cultiva tion wc should think of the child's future as well as of his present advan tage. llow often have we sceu a child spend hours in committing to memory the exact words of a history, rhetoric, or philosophy lesson, when the sense of it could ho learned thoroughly and pleasantly in one third of the time! The lesson is recited the next day, and II a year, in advance, then the words so laboriously fixed in the memory are either forgotten, or, if remembered, arc of no further use. Now would it not have been better, as well as far more agreeable to tho child, to have acquired the sense of tho lesson, to have exercised his skill in the use of proper words by liuding J from his own store those most suitable J for expressing the new facts or ideas ho had gained, and at the same time to 1 have added to those memory treasures, 1 whose value never decreases, by de voting the rest of the study-hour to rooting firmly in his memory one of tho many exquisite flowers of poetry which seem to find in the English lan guage a soil of peculiar congenialty ? j The cultivatiou of tho memory would bo promoted equally as well, if not much better, while that of tho fancy,' imagination, and taste would not be j neglected; the important study of elo- ' cution would be advanced in the reci- j tat ion of the poem, and another gem iu the memory for use and pleasure J during the years to come. There is not a little truth in the old proverb, “Gen helps him who helps himself,” when applied to study. let a child try unaided to master a lesson, ! and, however hard it may seem at first, I little by little the light will break in, j until at length the bright sunshine of! full knowledge will burst upon him, and fill him with proud delight. Let the same lesson be taught, and after all the weary labor the child’s dormant mind will have only half takcu it in, while he will fool no confidence in his own powers and no exhilarating pride in his own perseverance and success. If the ground is prepared and tho seed sown by the sower’s own hard work, the crop will be early, abundant, and of the best quality ; but if others do the work, it will be like the seed sown upon stony ground, for awhile seeming ly flourishing, but sure ere long to ! wither away and die, because it will have no root. ♦—#—*. Unquietness is the greatest evil that came to the soul excepting sin. For as seditions and the civil discords of a! commonwealth ruin it entirely, and dis- ; able it to resist a stranger; so our heart being troubled and disquieted in itself loseth strength to maintain tho virtues which it had gained, and with it the rneaus to resist the temptations of the enemy, who, at that time useth all kinds ' of endeavors to fish (as they say) in troubled waters. My soul is always in my hands, O Lord, and I have not for gotten thy law, said David. Examine more than once every day, at least morning and evening, whether some passion or unquietness hath robbed thee J of it. Consider whether thou have thy heart at command, or whether it be I not escaped out of tby bauds, to engage itself in some inordinate affection of love, hatred, envy, covetousness, fear, joy* sadness, and if it be strayed, seek it presently, and bring it back gently to the presence ot God, subjecting thy affections and desires to tho obedience \ and directions of Ilis divine pleasure. ! When thou perceivest unquietness to' come, commend thyself to God, and re-' solve to do nothing at all of that which thy desire demands until that disquiet I be entirely passed, unless it be some thing that cannot be deferred, and then thou must by some gentle and quiet means stop tho current of thy affection temperating and moderating it as much as is possible; and then do that which is required, not according to thy desire but according to reason.— De Sale s. -•--* A Lively Girl. —“My daughter Julia,” says the editor of the Seymour (Ind.)

Louisvim,*, Septkmbkh 23.—Mr. Greeley, in diseussirrg the colored que*, tion, said : Fellow Citizens: If our movement j should prevail, as I trust it will prevail, we will sweep away nil this refuse of lies in three months. We will sny to the colored men, we proffer you nothing except the protection of the laws— the same for you as for us. You have your living to earn as well as we have- You will have to use all your abilities, all your energies, all your faculties, and make the most of them you can. The laws do not favor you; they will thor oughly protect you, and in three months, if we succeed, the colored people will be so disabused that some men can uever deceive them again—never again. Dut suppose we fail, and wc may fail. If the colored men did not believe that the power was ugainst us, that money was against us; if they did not realise that the treasury, the army, the one hundred thousand office-holders, were banded against us in force, which they believe we cannot overcome, they cer tainly would not be so universally hos tile to us. This is why they think we cannot succeed, and they want to be upon the winning side. That is part of it, but they are also deluded in regard to our purposes. We say we arc not your enemies—we will not be your op pressors —we will not though you have done us injustice—we will try, aa well as wo can, to have your children educat ed and enlightened, so that the mia takes you have made cannot be made over aud over again.
