EDUCATION OF FARMERS' DAUGHTERS Tbe following sensible remarks b; ono of liTo loading educators of tb< Stuto, wo find in the current numbc of tho National Ayricitlluritt. On country readers cannot overestimat tho importance of tbo subjoct no cle\ ei ly bundlud: Tho limo was when it was considered unnecessary to cducato women Then she was tbo slavo, not the companion of man. Slowly baa theorror been dispelled. Thoro arc those siill in our country?quito iptolligent mon, too?who a89ei t ihiit all women noud is simply a knowledge of the most common br&nehcs of study. But when wc know that thoro aru twonty two colleges in our land winch receive students of both sexes, affording the samo advantages to both, and that through tho groat liberality of Mr. Vassar, a splendid building, costing half a million <>f dollar*, has boon eroded, whoro yoting ladies may onj ?y tho very best privileges under tho most able instructors, with ehirant libraries, cabinets and works of art, wo vealizo that a change ban taken place in tlio public mind and that wo man is beginning to oi-joy tho privileges bo long donkd her and to which she is justly entitled. Tho happiness ui.d interests of man, as well as woman, are concerned in this upward movement. No intelligent man dosires to bo associated with an ignorant companion. The two have a mutual ii.fluonco over cach other, elevating and ennobling or degrading and debasing. Then woman has far more lo do with tho formation of the mind of the child than man. Dicing all HmI* rrrAlPl K I Ka /#*?'! ? ? 4 1% a. ~ >vt v?? u wuu &'* 1(3 tliu UUIIOiaiiO companion of her mother; and this is truo, also, of tho boy, in all tho earlier years of his life. The mother moulds tho mind and forms tho heart. From her Iho child takes his impressions. Sho imparts to it from her well or ill-furnished mind its first food for ibought and its incentives to action. On llOl* ll\n liinn ir* ?^n?? ...... , ... ..w v..-J coi.fi.lo. And iho child which has u trno, good and intelligent mother is not ashamed to have it known that he is influenced and controlled by her; indeed, it is his pride. ]f these statements ara correct, then to what extent should our farmers' daughters be educatod ? Is it not true, us is often a<*9crtod, that their position is low and Ihey must not be educated above it, lost ihej* become unhappy and unfitted for their place? Ily no moans; r.o part of this assertion is true. A fatmcr's life in suited togivo woalth, health and vir luo. It ia a high and honorable calling, of which no ono need bo aahaincdf usually romoved from tho city and from much society. If tho fai-mor and his wife havo a taste ior. books they may improve and enjoy themselves much; if not, tho mind will become wouk and will bo occupied with trifling and^ unimpo: tant matters. Tho children, too, cannot usu ally enjoy tho privileges afforded in oqr cities. Mure than othorsare they with and nnder tho influence of tho mother. If sho is thoroughly educated, possessing a knowledge of bisto ry, literature ana science, she will over bo.pouring knowlodgo into the minds of tho children, improving thoir testes and inspiring thom vrith u lovo ff .hooks and of knowledge..

VRITINO SERMONS AND MUSIC VTIIILE ASLEEP.?INTERESTING E2tt?ERI MENT8. Wo find tho following report of an oxlrfiOrdinary caso of somnambulism n our exchanges: A young ccclcsiastic used to rise evory night and write sermons or pie-cos of music. To study hid condition, an arclibishop betook himself sovcral nights to tho chamber of the 1 bomriamhulist, where he mndo tho fob | lowing observations: Tho "young man usovl to riso, to take paper and 10 write, before he wrote music ho would talco a Miclc and rule tho lines with it j ho wrott. tho notes, togolher with t.hc words corx'.npoiuling with ; thero, v.iih perfect cori-?otnos8 ; or, j wl>cn ho bad written vbo w^rda. loo wide, ho allorcd thorn. Tho Mies that were to bo black ho filled in afte? jhe'hnd completod tho whole. After I completing a Hormon, he read it aloud I trom boginning to. end. If any pas | sago displeased him, ho eragod it, and | wrote tho amended passage corroctly I over tho other. j To aecortain whether he need his ; eyes, the Archbishop interposed a | sheet of pasteboard between tho wri ting us beforo. Tbo limitation.of his perceptions to what ho was thinking about was very curious. A bit of aniseed cuko that ho had sought for bo ate approving; but when on another occasion a picco of llio same cako was put into his mouth, ho *pit it -out with objection. Tho following instarice of tho dependonco of his porception upon, or rathor their subordination i lo bis pro concoivod ideas is truly I wonderful: It is observod that be always know wbon his pen had ink in il. Likewise, if ihcy adroitly changcd his papers when ho was writing, ho knew if the nhect subsiitutod was of difFerout sizo from the former, and appeared embarrassed in that caso ; but if the fresh bliect of papor which wai substituted forihat written on was exactly of the same sizo of tho former, ho appeared not to bo awaro of tho change, and he would continuo to road off hi* composition from tho blank sheet of papor as fluently as when tho manuscript itsdf lay bot'orj him j nay, more ho would continue Lis corrections and introduce tho amended pa66r.go, writing it upon exactly tho placo on tho blank shoot which it would havo oc cupiud on tbo wiitlen pago. THE VALLEYIN THE MOUNTAIN. Mrs. Valley Was ono day looking up into tbo cloar bluo sky, and admiring tho snowy clouds as they slowly sailed ovgr her.

Thus the mountain ministers to the valley, and tbo valley to man ; and thus the North and the South, the Eaet and the West of our land, all need each other and none can bo spared.

God onco told bis servant Jonah to go to a largo city Homo vray off, aiid tell the peoplo who lived 'thoro, and who wcro very naughty, wicked pooplo, that ho I would puniah them for their aiufcj but Jonah did not choose to o-o. In - - - O Btcad of doing what Gojd told him to do, and Betting off at once to the city, ho got into a ship that wrb going Heroes -Iho sea just another way. This was yery wrong, becanso, yoo know tho eyes of the Lord are in every place, boholdingthe evil- and the good,"'and it is in vain to try to hide Ourselves from. G d. "J*lio darkness, and the light are both a[ike to him." Jonah conld no more hide himself from~God when ho got into the ship, than Adam and J2vo could bid them-, solves io the warden of Edoh. -? - .?=? - r' , Very.Boon aflor the ship put out to ; son, God sont a great storm.
