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

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.

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.. Tiro

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.

Mrs. Valley Was ono day looking

stood hero alone for agos, and if 1
Lave hud but one foot, it has boon a
strong ono. My M?ker placod mo
hero with thin lofty boad and stony
form that I might condonso tho currents
of air ae they swept orcr tho
continent, and form clouds and bring
rain. Cloud-making, madam, is a
great bueincps with me; they gathor
around my boad and sidos, U>03' pour
tbo'.r troasurcs down on me, tin waters
rut. into ovcry cavern and holi*>w
L have, and then break out in{o little .
springs, cathcr into nondu strut t.i!.-?e >
and rivers, and tlms tho waters como
to you and pervade you and cheer
you ; and thoro ia not a bludo of grasB,
nor a flowor on your b-.som, nor a
stalk of wheat, which is not nourished
by the waters condensed and stopped
by us mountains. Moro than forty
pondw look to me to keep them filled,
and several rivers flow from my sides.
I stand hero alono, Mrs. Valley, receiving
no thanks, and no praise; but
tako me away and every stroam that
comes to you would bo dry> and you
'. madam, would bo a shrivellod^up
old lady, with no flowers on
your broad t-kirtB, and no bread in
your band. Your fruitfulnoss and glory
corac from me; and though you
win wcur out oy image ana income
poorer by-and-b}*, 1 havo the hope
that I shall stand hero bo tc?s useful,
no lees ncccssary, and stiil honored
by thodo who know my mission. 11 \
1 am by such as you scorned, 1 shall
still know that the streams that 1
create manufacture clothing for the
fame multitudes that come to you for
; bread." .
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 bath made nothing in vain.

THE MAN WHO T2I2D TO HUN AWAY
FKOK GOD.
Till us a Bible story.
Shall I tell you about Jonah, a
prophot of God ? 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,

A REM ASKABLE FROG. '
On this f.ul'jeet Mr. Yager, living 1
near Milehcll'tt Station, in Culpepper '
county, rclatc? very curious facts 1
about a remarkablo frog. "Concerning

many yoars with us and is a great fa- {

which the inscel sticks fast to the tip
by a glutennsfis matter. I can't say
uuw lung my miner lias been acquainted
with it; from my earliest
rocolleet'ona ho spoko of it as "Old
Tom," "tho old frog." I have known
it for a great number of years?I can
answer for fifty seven years. It
makes its appearanco (always a welcome
visitor) with warm weather and
remains with ns till fall, appearing
morning tand ovening to our great
amusement, having been trained to
do many things, such as leaping, turning
eomersaulls, holding alternately
by its feet and hands to a small rope,

But Benjamin Franklin, tbat observing
and thinking printer, conch),
ded by what ho saw that lightning
was electricity; soono day he went
oatdoors in a thunder-storm, t?nd
sont a kite'up to the clouds to bring
the lightning down. It rail down
the string of hie kite to an iron, as
you Boe, and the iron was full of it.
Why did it nol run down to Franktin,
and kill him T Ah, he thought of _
that.- So he tied a silk string to tho
end of his hemp Bering, and held by
that; for, as 1 told you silk will not
conduct electricity. That made
Franklin safo. When tho key was
3liargud with lightening, Franklin
knockod it with his knuckles, and
felt a shock, just the strange priokly
tceling people foel from an electrio
ihock.
Now Franklin was a man' who
always tried to turn his knowledge to
jomo good account. So he invented
lightning rods, which you know aro
made of iron or Conner, and run nnt?

jide of a liouso from a chimnoy to the
sarth, to rccoivo and carry the lightning
into tho ground, whcro it will
lo no harm. In that way housed
ire safe from its cffocts. We should

ihower. It is dangorouB to stand unlcr"
a tree or a haystack, or at open
loors or windows, or by the wallB or
jhimneys.
David calls tho thundor tho
