Education of Labor. Some parents are strict to require dailj physical exercise of their children before ant after school, in the way of labor. To thii course some are prompted by necessity, ant others by principle, l'heir children are re quired to perform a given amount of work This is, in particular, true of farmers and o oiti?r* in rural districts. And if the labot be appropriate in kind and amount, the val ue of this practice cannot be estimated.? Every child should bo carefully practiced it some needful industrial employment. N< other education is more important. Worl is the great law to which God and Naturi bind ua. Aa a preventer of evil, And a pro ducer of good, there ia nathing in all tb< world like industry ; like hard work. Oui children better lie reared in ignorance o books, than in ignorance of all kinds of pro ductive industry. This truth applies to th? children of the woalthy, as well as to al others; for all men and women, not invalids who do not by their own efforts earn theii own living, are worth less than they coat Some ono has said that " an idle man*i brain is the devil's workshop.** If this ides be coriect. he has little reason to he proud of his quarters; and perhapa justice woulc require that some allowance on this accoun1 be tnade, in passing judgment on the qual ity of the work he turns out. But seriously, do not the highest and dearest interests of society demand that ir the school, aa well as in the family, the idei should ho made prominent, that labor ii til ike needful and honorable for all!?

In his * appeal to their beafU, bo mentioned the * case of a wayward boy whose pious mother i k was in heaven, and who after the successive steps of early depravity, was arrested by the < Spirit of God, recalling the hallowed counsels and tha prayers of the departed saint.? I He became a Christian, and entered the - gospel ministry. The preacher added, " And I am that wicked son, saved by a I mother's tears." 1 k The religions exercises closed, and the I convicts went to their cells. In the after no^n the. chaplain walked, as was his cus> torn, the corridors, and looking through f the grated door of a young man's cell, saw i him prostrate on the stone floor, sobbing * as if his. heart were brokon.

P. C. II.' I Eat Plenty of Fat Meat.?In a late ' number of the Scalpel, in an article on 3 " Dint," Dr. Dixon, in assuming the nosiiion that 44 the use of oil would docrease'lho vic1 tims of consumption nine tenths, and that 1 is the whole secret of the use of cod liver ' oil," quotes the following summnry ohserva' lions on this subjeot, made by Dr. Hooker : 3 44 1.

Of persons dying with phthisic, between the ages of twelve and fbrtv-five, ninef tenths, at least, have never used fftt meat. 1 44 Most individuals who avoid fat meat, i also use little butter or oily gravies, though 1 many compensate for this want, in part at * least, by a free use of those articles, and al. so milk, eggs and various saccharine subf stsnces. But they constitute an imperfect r substitute for fat meat, without whiMi ???. - er or later, the body i? almost sure to show the effects of deficient clarofi cation." A philosopher once asked a little girl if ahe had a soul. She looked up into hie face with an air of astonished and offended' dignity, and replied " To be sure I have." " What makes you think you have f" "Because I have," she promptly replied. " But how do you know you have a soul ?" "Because I do know," she answered I again. , It was a child's reason ; but the pbiloeor pher could hardly have given a better. " Well, then," said ta, after a moment's ? consideration, " if you know you have a t soul, can you tell me what vour soul is f" I " Why," said she, M I am six years old, 1 and don't you suppose I know what my t soul is 1" " Perhaps you do.

The horse Will then suffer you to approach him without any trouble. Immediately rub your hand gently on the horse's nose, getting a little of the oil on it, and you can lead him anywhere. Give him a little of the castor on any substance for which he has a taste, and in the most suitable manner manage to get eight drops of the oil of rbo dium upon his tongue, and he will at once become obedient to the most exacting commands with which horses are capable ol complying.

Brown-low on Dancing.?In the editorial correspondence of the Knoxville Whig. Parson Brownlow gives a graphic descrip tion of the brillinul " fotival and ball,* which came off at Memphis, on the lltli ol March, to celebrate the op -ning of tht " Gavoeo House." Among other things, the Parson thus discourses of the walti and polka.; " I am no advocate of dancing, and ncvei tried the exercise' in my life, but I could no) resist the temptation ty look on at this scene for largely upwards of an hour.

Ii J' ih not selfishness that makes society hard hearted to both classes. It is the instinct of common sense which dictates that, when : people cannot right themselves, nor yet set in motion the machinery which might help them, it is more dignified and becoming of rational beings to keep silence, and not let } their life dissolve into a spoonful of warm ; water. Complaints, well or iLi founded, " soon exhaust 44 the milder grief of pity."? 5 In fact, there is no virtue that so soon evaporates as sympathy. People grow tired of being sorry for what they cannot help, and, ' becoming ancrrv at a Grievance that will n?i 5 be driven away, they soothe their own feel1 ings by declaring that it is the " people's 1 own fault." Life is a battle; and those > who canuot fight for themselves meet with | no quarter.
