whatever is baleltd or truthful or ignoble and bear
ing the mind gently on toward that glorious perfec

after. In the) physical world, iv war fur power aud do

l-.'aeh sohller wears his leader's t.uiforui upon

f,'u', too, is Education 1 Each humun soul now a
Teacher How a Pupil ; aud each accountable for
the lessons imparted the lessons received.
In the political world, the niul Of Education is

but thescrrj ouly tho instructor's " helps," Thcv
cannot reduce the truths they briug,to tho capacity
of every student, for the mind is more varied than
tho earthly temple which fcns'.iriuos it. Notmal
Schools and Institutes have been established to
assist iu this arduous, and loo often thankless, tusk.
There the teacher may receive the assistance and
advice of the learned and wise; may learn from
the! experience of those who have long labored
zealously in tho luiblo cause ; thcro select and
treasure up modes of teaching, thoughts nnd hints
to guide l.i. n in his future career. Ilia greatly to
be regrelio 1 that Teacher's Institutes are not ol
more frequent recurrence. Vc would humbly sug
gest thut Town In.-ti lutes be organized, to meet
lemi-unnuully. The advuntagts to be derived there
from, are various. Eich teacher, sluiknl, pa
rent or guardian could then attend and b-come
equally luttresied, instructed utld ben -filed at a
very trifling expense. Such cannot bu the ease
ut our County Institutes. They would tilTird
excellent facilities for engaging competent ami
worthy teachers, and we can but b. lieve, that a
faculty, s icli an one asshuuld preside over in
stitutions of a similar character, would be far
better judg-s of the qualifications of candidates,
ihon thus: g'tierally elected by our present re
gime, 'i'h y would serve to interest patents und
guar.liai.s whose apathy has so long Dil i to
'Tiiclly, more Ih in anything else, retarded the
rapid and happy advancement of the cause of
cdurution. Aye, they may pour freely out, the
means to supply all educational facilities, yet,
unless Ih-y take, nn earnest, active interest in
the aitlvtunc: i.istcud of the nhaduw, they have
tit i Hi co mpum lively nothing.
Iu oiyani.iiions of this kin I alone con the
teacher ucquire so great an amount of useful
knowledge, or h.'coine more deeply imbued
with a just s us; of the important trust commit
ted lo his charge. To him. thus aided, must
we leave the insiho I by which lis may draw
arouud him tli isu whom Christ deigned to bless,
assured that his influence un.l teaching will
swell the gran I '-Te DeW arour.J the""i;reat

Wherever the influence of E Inc.. lion extends,
schools, colleges, seminaries of learning spring
up os though at the wizard touch of the magi's
enchantment. Yet these are hut cold, senseless
walls, oud nothing worth, if wiihiu them her
living, breathing, acting spirit moves not over
the chaos of ignorance, starting into life rn'r

A Picture.
Cooking controversy has deluged u, wilii
letters, several hundred in number, lioui vuiiutis
ports ol the country, chiefly Written by women.
Not a few of these conini'iuicaiiun. givea cer
tain compl. xion lu the discourse, or a turn lo
the argument, to which heed it du-?. In one
word, the writers complain, iu the roundest
terms, in the bitierert S,.ou, that t Ivy are the
drudges, the household slaves Of inonev-getliug
husbands, who, proWJed the-y cm I.-,' by yeu'r
aller ycur money (one ludy s ,ys WJ.IWJ) of prof
its, uru either in. lifl' rent to, or do not uppre.
ciutu the cuics, sorrows and over-toil of iheii
wives. We tlo not make these charges, but
they come thick and heavy iu various letters.the
writing of which may be. bad, b it the thoughts
come hot from the h-art on. I bruin. What, osks
one lady, it a farmer's wife as often found? A
drudge, a slave ! Sharp terms, these. What
does she do? asks the same queries!. Every
thing but instruct her mind. She has no lime
lor social enjoyment, for domestic u.lorum -nt,
and hardly leisure to oi to church even occa
sionally. She toils with all lhe heavy claims t;f
maternity cln Id-bean ng. suckling as though o
womun's lot was not hard enough without be
im; msde to work full up to tin nmk like the
ra n day-laborer. From morn to night, antl
night iuterrup cl by the thousasi I anxieties of a
tnoih r, she is going in the. kitch.-n, thi nurserv,
the wash house, the dalrv, a citts -lcss round ol
hard and unrelieved drudgery. What tiriH asks
our fair correspondents, can such a woman have
to learn lo tlo anything intelligently ? Icuru to
cook as cooking hould lie learned t What time
io give grace and benuly to the table, w lieu it is
spread, by h r toilette, Vr leisure uud her ae
c.eiM;ilishineuls? What is life to her but a slav
Uh burden? eliout. a choius of feminine cor-re.-p
indents.
We are implored, cnujurad lo upp?ol lo " the
b'uiited or untlev loped sctis s" of many urn in
therountry in regard to tin Irtalineni of their
wives, tl.iouiing tliHin to - a tireary slavery iu
the Free Stales. Agirl. wiure told, is Hurried
at 17, 'and from tu at hr slavery begins: chil
dren come thick us biuckberries; births follow
in furious succession; and tile matron is but
ihe. cook, washerwoman, dairy woman, house
inai I scullion, nurse, siave." T'iie hu-band in
liiis case, "what is he but a tyrant?" He is pe
nurious he grudges everything except his own
"mod st" vices : that is,'he drinks, perhaps
he c.-riaiiily chews un I expectorates his lilihy

The Bachelor and the Baby.
"What shall I do?" and the bachelor alanip. ;
ert about the sitting room in a perfect rage of
doubt, looking first at the napping .buba in Ilia '
little willow eradle.und then at tiio busy Freucfi
clock on the inanlle shelf.
. "As sure ns my name is Joseph Phelps that
little, two listed, largo lunged nephew of mine
is about waking, and it Wants one whola hour

it. H hat can I do wilh il how can 1 treat it -to

At this juncture, a faint wail from the babr '
receptacle broughi bachelor Joseph to his ubn.'!
V itu aiyiuergy and alacrity thai would not illy

m -nceil rocking tho cradle, sending the iadijf
limit baby into a perlecl tremor of kicks and
sotiulls. Lackwards and forwards, from one
suleof the pillow to the other, the round red

over, but, oh ! the clumsiness of his fingers- '
the little eel-like form fell out uf liis lap to the
floor, sending forth a cry that was "louder.clcaii

"Lord save me! lie broken its neck'" Was ,
the exclamation us In picked baby up, and in "
the agony of despair tried to quiet him.- A 3

went lor it. Suie enuugh, there it wus, stulling, '
