PHMPMIT. [Original. Aunt Dorothy*? Advice. '.'Ao'rjt Dorothy, I wish you would ad .vise me abo nt a school for tho children, for I'm BO worried I don't know what tb do." "Well, ohild, what "sort of advice do you'waut? It scorns to tao, that among BO rp any Bohools as we have in our town, ? you pan surely find ooo to suit Mary and Nettie." ., "It's true, there aro a great many schools; but) I really don't know of ono that suite tue altogether." "Why, Susan, I think, from what I know o? Mra, Porter's school, that 'you could not do better than to send both the girls tb her;" "Well, so I thought, andi went'to seo her yesterday,, in ten di ny to entor them, but I'm all ot son .again." . "Vtfhy, what is the difHoulty?" "Well, her terms-did not suit our cir? cumstances; and when I asked her if she wouldn't tako loss, in consideration of my sending two, she said that they must 'be put in different olasses, and that sho would bo obliged to devote to eaoh some extra time and attention, because sho found them very backward and not pre pared to study with her regular classe.." "Well, Shs?h, you could noW>bjeot to that; and I think it mort be very trying to a teacher to be nek od to class pupils after her school has been in operation for a month. You ought to be willing to, pay'something extra when you ask auch'a thing." ."But, Aunt Dorothy, you know how it was-I was siok and could not gel their clothes in order in time,.'and I wasn't going to send my children tc school till I could send them wei! dressed." "I will not argue that point with you now. Susan; but I will say that yoi ought not to ask Mrs. Porter to oonsidei ? that in making her o barge." "Well,' it's customary, at, any rate, foi t??ah?rs to make deductions when twc are sent from one family." "Perhaps it in, but I never oould sei tho justice of it. If you send your chit dren, to Mrs.RPorter, I suppose she wil tea a h and train them aa two, just os thei: i father, feeds and clothes them' ao twp You expect them both to be educated ant benefitted by going to school ; why, then shouldn't you be willing to puy fo both?" "Well, so I would, if we could ?flori it; but it ia bar danmor us to make botl ends meefc, and yjjB||ffi3 it is our duty tc use the striotest economy. The childrei must get a good education, for it's th duly thing wo can give them." , "You think, then, it is the most value ble thing you can givo them?" , ..Certainly, I do." . "And yet you think it should not b ??s?yf" . "Well, Pin willing:'to pay a reasonatii yprioe." ./,'.,. : ; ,.; ."I'm. not so sure of .that, ohild. " i ?' ''Why, Aunt Dorothy, do you dont : my Word?" ; "No, Susan; but I think you .doq understand.what you are talking abou Tell mo now, why you have been sen] lng-Mary and Nettie to Miss Nichblsa j so loug, and why you have at last take ! .them away?" ;. " Well, I sent them first because el came tb see me. in the most friondly wa; hud asked mo to do HO, and offered I tako tho two at tho aamu price that Mr Porter would have charged mo for one . "What did you know of her .as teacher?" "Well, I judged from her oonversatit that she was well educated,-and I kne that her school Was filling up rapid! BO I supposed that the people who liv* here must have confidence in her ubi ty." "And yet it seems you were not inf! enced chiefly by that consideration." . "Np, to tell you the truth, Aunt: she seemed BO anxious to. have the oh dren, that I didn't know how to ref m and then tho terms suited our means, thought, top, it wouldn't make mu difference whether the children wt with a very superior teacher or not, .1 tho next twb or three years." "Ah, that is just where you made ' great mistake." "Well, Auut, it's doue now, and can't be helped." "Go on, child, und tell me why y : removed the girls." : "Weill yon know Miss Nicholson j ', i Buoh a large sohool that people began .' complain af ter a while, and to say tl - sho did not do justice to the childr It woo hinted to ber, too, that she ouj to employ an assistant." b:' "Certainly,- that was what she sho have done." "But, Aunt, she oould not afford for her ratas of tuition were so low; c eo she said to those who talkod with about it." ''Ahd did no one think it would reasonable to ouoourago her to raise - tormo, so that she might be able to : 1 pure the aid of a competent assistant Vt suppoBo not; and her school be falling off, ?till ahe had ou ly. lifte ou le "Did yon take yenr children awai that time?" "Oh, no; I was so sprry ipr the v. thing, that'I did not want to d?sco?i her by taking mine away then, part larly as I found that she was really ', ertiog herself to teach the few that h>d,.?nd I ww Mary and Nettie pti ing mere ? than they had ever: done fpre,. Yon; ??e, when sh? had aa: 'school, abe hod time to teaoh them farly.'! . "What a.pity it was, then, that parents of those fifteen children did agree to pay Miss Nicholson such lit ?iricoa as would have enabled her to it no te devote her whole timo I small a uumbor." ' "Well, tiley didn't, and before lo ' ' fpupd' that Mina Nicholson was ge tai full school again. The secret pf it alie had put her rates still lower, and about the same time her oousia, Mrs. Uland, ?amo from Baltimore;-abd as upon us Hbo offered to tooob dancing'in the school, it became the most popular sohool iu town." "But I suppose the danoiug had to be .paid (or." "Well, the extra charge for that was vu ry little. You know Mrs. Bland was so fond uf such things ns balls and hops, that abe would bnvebeon willing to have dancing classes just for ber owu arauee meut, und it helped tho school out amaz? ingly." "Did Mary anil Nettie take 'lessons from Mrs. Bland?" "Yes; I thought tboy might as well gain ull they could, us it didn't cost , um oh mor?." "Did you lind that they continued tc study nuder the new order of things?" ''Ob, nu; Tu ins Nio'uoitiOO uiu?'t Oar?, after shu gut a large sohool again, whe? ther she tuugbt the children anything Ot Dot; und I beard mino constantly talking ubout dauciug school aud Friday evening soiree?, uud their partners; (for Mrs. Blaud wus not satisfied till she got o class of buys, aud had thom at hoi Aoirees;) so I made up my mind to stop them ns soon as their quarter was out." "When was that?" "It was at thc end of March," "But they didn't stop hen?" "No, they didn't, for I found theil bonds were already BO full of thetMay party they were to have, that they wo ult uot hear of leaving sohool. So I though! it could not do much harm to lot thou go ou another quarter, and I hated, too, to have any words with Miss Nicholsoi about it. It's true I grudged tho moimi paid for thoir tuition thal quarter, for i might just as well have been thrown ii tho river, tout the May party was 'a sue cess;' and the children Bpoke and actec their parte so beautifully, that I wa. proud of them. Miss Nicholson nm Mrs. Bland deserved a great deal of ore dit for the whole affair, and they wen very highly complimented on the pain they had taken iu training the ohtfdr?) for the occasion." "I suppose the May party waa a OOH tl affair." "Auntie, I'm'not going to tell yoi how much it cost, for ? know you'j think it WOB a piece of extravagance; bu I think when suoh a thing is done at ali it ought to bu done well. Mary au Nettie looked BO beautiful ia their nc dresses, as the rose and the lily, and Net tie danced like a little fairy. I declar I never thought I would have admire one of my owu children so much. Win I could hardly keep my eyes off her tb whole evening. " " fj "Are Mary uud Nettie willing to leal Miss Nicholson's sohool?" "No, they are not, and they ha de teasing me all the BU mm or to let thet go back, but their father has put h veto on it; so there's not ? word moro 1 be Haid." "Why is James so positive on the sui jeot?" ' "Well, he h&s been examining the in several, branches, and he says he ashamed to ii JJ d them so lamentably, d fioient aa they are. He says they are o enough now to go to work, in good ea neat, and make np for lost time.' I a determined, too, that they shall go whe they will learn something useful." "Well, Susan, you must both detc mine to pay a proper price to the teao era who may be entrusted with the ed cation of your children." "You forget, Aun tin, that wo can't i ford to pay high prices.!' "It strikes me. Susan, that you c very inconsistent." "How?" "Havon't you just be making up winter clothes for the girle ' "Yes." "Did you pay low prices 1 the dry goods you bought?" "Why, i for you know it would be bad econoi to make up cheap goads, and I did i want anything bat the best, for I w my children to be just as well dressed any other children they may bo thro with." "You want to have them as well cu catad, too, aa any others in their stat: are?" "Yon know I do." "And yet wi you are willing to pay liberally for th dresB, you are quietly making up yi mind thut you cannot pay teachers w are well qualified to teach them propel Remember, my dear, that'teachers m be poid, for their time and labor si prices as will enable them: to liv VWell, I,do remember bat we or dp whufc we can't, and I do .think R porter might consider "our 'ciroi BWncea.,r" \?*Wai& thora anything in'yOnr appi anee; or that of Mary and Nettie, to duco her to toko pity on you?" "Of courso not; but I told her so thing of our reverses, and the expel We have." "When you went to pnrchaso your goods for the winter, and your pa carpet, and y our groceries, did you ni Bimilar statements to the morona thereby hoping to work on their feel so.as to induce thom to offer you t best articles at the lowest prices?" "Ob, Auntie, how absurd!" "Not a bit more absurd, child, in estimation, than it is for you to go teacher, in whom yon have confide and ask hor to teach your ohildren cheap rate, while you let her see (hey and you aro able to pul on every t that you fancy?" . "Well, I "never thought pf it fri way ; bat Mrs. Porter has no right tc what I am able to put on myself oi ohildren." "No, certainly; and I suppose would never think of doing BO, bu is obliged to consider tho matter \ Bhe seos you and the girls so well d ed; and if she gives yon credit for s rity, she will, as a sensible woman, oludo that you will spare no expon educating them." . "I know yon think, Auntie, tl ought to dress myself and the chi plainer, BO as to be able to spend on thoir education, and ' you thi ought to bo a moro economical house-' keoper, too." "Well, to tell yon tho truth, Spsan, that is just what I do think, and I am sure if you could realize how infinitely more prooious uro the minds and hearts of your ohildn a than is their outward j adornment, you would not lob g hesitate about your duty in the matter. You 1 would understand, too, how important I it is to put them under tho care of faith? ful, earnest Ohristian teachers while they are still young, and so havre the founda? tion for a sound education laid deop, and formed of the best materials, Italy on what I tell you, obild, and don't delude yourself with tho vain hope that 'a good foundation may be slipped under al any lime.'. You must not deceive yourself by thinking that when Mary aod Nettie g?t into their teens, and their father has made u little more monoy, you can thou send tho ni to the best tenobers and have all defects and errors in their oheap edu? cation remedied." Here Mary and Nettio rushed in, sud the conversation closed. D. A fish store in Somerville, Mass., has a sign on which is painted, "Leviticus, si, 9th and 10th verses." These versos are: "These shall ye cat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in tho sens, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing whioh is in tho waters, thoy shall bo du abomina? tion unto you."
