LETTERS OX EDUCATION, I |r THE UkTE DR. WHITHERSfOON, OF NEW-JERSEr. After so long a delay, I now set my. 1 self to fulfil my promise of writing to you a few thoughts on the education of children. Though I cannot wholly purge myself of the crimes of laziness anu procrastination, yet I do assure you, what contributed nrt a little to its being hitherto not done, was, that I considered ?t not as an ordinary letter, but what deserved to be carefully meditated on, and thoroughly digested. The concern you show on litis subject, is highly commendable : for there is no part of your du'y, as a Christian, or a citizen, which will be of greater service to the public, or a source of greater comfort to yourself. The consequence of my thinking so Jong upon it, before committing my thoughts to paper, w;ii probably be the taking the thing in a greater comp tss titan either of us at first intended, and writing a scries of ict'ers, instead of one. With this view I begin wilft a preliminary 13 inc sucuessiui i-uucn> lion of children, viz. that husband and wife ought to be entirely one upon this subject, not only a give J as to the end, but ns to the means to be used, and the plan to be follow, ed, in order to attain it. It ought to encour. age you to proceed in your design, that I am persuaded you will not only meet with no opposidon to a rational and serious education of your children, but great assistance from Mrs. S?? * * * + * The ereased linos contained a compliment, written with great s'neerity; but recollecting that there are no rules yet settled (or distinguishing true compliment from fhttery, 1 have blotted them out: on which, perhaps, you will say to yourself, " he is fulfilling the character which his enemies g ve him, who say, it is the nature of the man to deal much more in satire, than in panegyric." However, I content myselfwith repeating, that certainly husband and wife ought to conspire and co-operate in every thing relating to the education of their children ; and if their opinions happen, in any particular, to be different, they ought to exam ne and settle the matter privately by themselv. es, that not the least opposition may appear either to children or servants. When 'his is the case, every thing is enforced by a double authority, and recommended by a double example : but when it is otherwise, the pains taken are commonly more than I lost, not being able to do any good, and cettainly producing very much evil. Be pleased to remember, that this is by no means intended against those unhappy , couples, who, being essen.ially different in principles%nd character, live in a state of eootinual war. It ts of little advantage to speak either to, or of such persons. But even differences incomparably smaller, are of very bad consequence : when one, for example, thinks a child may be carried out, ? -? .I - -1- - 1 ana me oinerwiuKs u is wrong $ wncuuuc thinks a way of speaking is dangerous* and the other is positive there is nothing in it. The things themselves may indeed beoflittle moment; but trie want of concurrence in the parents, or the want of mutual es eem and deference, easily observed even by very young children, is of the greatest importance. As you aad 1 have chiefly in view the re. i ligious education of children, I take it to be i an excellent preliminary, that parental af- i fection should be purified by the principles, I and controlled or directed by the precepts i of religion. A parent should rejoice in his ; children, as they are the gift of a gracious God , should put his trust in the care of an i indulgent Providence for t e preservation of 1 his offspring, as well as himself; should be supremely desirous that thoy may be, in due time, the heirs of eternal life ; and, as he knows the absolute dependenceofevery cre&ture'upon the will of God, should be ready to resign them at what time his Crei. toe 6hall see proper to demand them. This happy qualification of parental tenderness, will have a powerful influence in preventing mistakes in the conduct of education, it wHl bo the most powerful of all incitements to duty, and at the same time 3 res'raint upon * ? j ;??..i that naiura* tonanessiuiu muuiguuce, hih?- ?, by a sort of fascination of fatality, makes parents often do or permit what their judgment condemns, and then excuse themselves by saying, that no doubt it is wroug, but truly they cannot help it. Another preliminary to the proper education of children, is a firm persuasion of the benefit of it, and the probable, at least, if not certain success of it, when faithfully and prudently conducted. This puts an edge upon the spirit, and enables the christian not only to make some attempts, but to persevere with patience and diligence. I know not a common saying either more false or pernicious, than 44 that the children of good men are as bad as others." Tnis say. ing carries in it a supposition, that whereas the force of education is confessed with res. poet tocveiy other human chnracier and accomplishment, it is of no consequence at all as to religion. This, I think, is contrary i-v rlailv pvwi'ipnpn. VVhppftiln wf? evnppt ??.v - r ? to find young persons piously disposed but in pious families 1 the exceptions, or rather Appearances to the contrary, are easilv accounted for, in more ways t.ian one. M.iny persons appear to be religious, while Hay are not so in reality ; but are chiefly governed by the applause of men. Hence their visible conduct may be specious, or their public performances applauded, and yet their families be neglected. It must also be acknowledged that some truly well disposod persons are extremely defective or imprudent in this part of their duty, and therefore it is no wonder that st should not succeed. This was plainly the case with Eli, whose sons we are told, made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. However, I must observe, if we allow such to be truly good men, we must at the same time confess that litis was a great drawback - upon their character; and that they differed very much from the father of the faithful, who had this honourable testimony given him by God, 1 know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, that they serve me. To this we may odd, that the child of a good man, who is ! ?een to TbHow dissolute courses, draws the attention of mankind more upon him, and ii much more talked of, than any other person of the same character. Upon the whole it is certainly of moment, that one who desires to educate his children in the fear of 3od, should do it in a humble persuasion that if lie was not defective in his own duty, he will not bo denied the blessing of success. I could tell you some remarkable instances of parents who seemed to labour in \ain for n long time, and >et were so happy as to see a change at last; and of some children in whom even after the death of tne parents, the seed which was early sown, and seemed to have been entirely smothered, has at last produced fruit. And indeed no less seems to follow from the promise, annexed to the command, train up n child in ihe way he should go, and when he is old ho will not depart from it. [laving laid down these preliminaries, I | shall say a few things upon the preservation of the health of children. Perhaps you will t 1- -- .1 ? . u... WinK tins oeiongs oniy ;u ine pujajuiau . uu>. though a physician ought !o be employed to apply remedies in dangerous oases, any man, with a little reflection, may be allowed to form some judgment as to the ordinary means of their preservation ; nay, I conoot help being of opinion, than any other nrsn is fitter than n physician for this purpo**. flis thoughts are so constantly taken up with tlio rules of his art, that it is in hundred to one he will prescribe more methods and medicines than can be used with safety. The fundamental rules for pieserving the heahh of children, are cleanliness, liberty, and free air. By cleanliness, I do not mean keeping the outside of their clothes in a proper condition to be seen before company, nor hindering them from fouling their hands and feet, when they are capable of going abroad, but keeping them dry in the night time, when young, and frequently washing their bodies with cold water, and other tilings of the same nature and tendency. Trie second rule is liberty. All persons young and old, love liberty ; and as far as it does them no harm, it will certainly do , them good, Many a free horn ^subject is kept a slave for the first ten years of his life; and is so much handled and carried about by women in his infancy, that the limbs and other parts of his body, are fre? quently misshapen, & the whole very much weakened ; besides, the spirits, when under confinement, ore generally in a dull and languishing statet I'he best exercise in tne world for children, is fo let them romp and jump about, as soon as they are able, according to their own fancy. This in the conntry is best done in the fields ; in a city 1 a well aired room is better than being sent inio tho streets under the care of a servant, very few of whom are able so far to curb their own inclinations, as to let the children j follow theirs, even whero they may do it 1 with safety. As to free air there is nothing more essentially necessary to tho strength 1 and growth of animals and plants. If a few plants of any kind arc sown inaclo^econfined place, they commonly grow up tall, small and very weak. I have seen a bed ! of beans in a garden, under tlicshado of a hedge or tree, vory long and slender, which brought to my mind u young family ofquali. ty, trained up in a delicate manner, who if I thoy grow at all, grow to length, but never 1 lo thickness. So universal is this, that 1 1 beliotfe the body of a sturdy or well built 1 make, is reckoned among tbcin a coarse 1 and vulgar thing. * There is one thing with regard to ser. van's, that I would particularly recommend 1 to your attention. All children are laible to accidt'D 8 ; these rrv?y happen unavoidably , out do generally arise from the carelessness of servants, to this they are almost always attributed by parents. This disposes all servants, good or bad to conceal them from the parents, when they can possible do it. By this means, children often receive hurts in falls or otherwise, which if known in time, might be easily remedied, but not being known either prove fatal, or make them lame, or deformed. A near relation of mine had a high shoulder and a distorted waist from j this very cause. To preventsuch accidents, i it is necessary to take all pains possible to acquire the confidence of servants, to convince them of the necessity of concealing nothing. There are two dispositions in parents, which hinder the servants from miking discoveries; the first, is when they are very passionate, aaJ opt to storm and rage against their servants, for evory real or supposed neglect. Such persons can never expect a confession, which must bo followed by such terrible vengeance. The other is, wlion they are tender-hearted, or timorous to excess, which makes them show themselves deeply affected or greatly terri. fied upon any little accident that befals their children. In this case, the very best servants are unwilingto tell them, through fear of making them miserable. In such cases, therefore I would advise parents,what, ever may be their real opinions, to discover them as littlo as possible to their servants. Let them still inculcate this maxim, that there should be no secrets concerning chil dren, kept from those most nearly interested in them. And that there may bo no temp, tation.to such conduct, let them always np. pear as cool and composed as possible, when any discovery 19 made, and be ready to forgive a real fault, in return for a candid acknowledgment. From the London Christian Observer. SAUL'S CONVERSION. "Who art thou, Lord?" Such was the affrighted cry of Saul, when Omnipotent Power prostrated him to the earth, and sovereign grace converted this furious re. bel rgainst Christ into a meek and humble suppliant. "What shall I do, Lord ?" Such was the docile inquiry of Saul, when God, who Movos in a mysterious way, His wondors to perform," was about to call kim, who, as he himself telis us, "was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious," to be n minister to the church of which he but lately made havoc; and to "preach the faith which once he destroyed." The conversion ofSaul is supposed, by some? to have occurred within the year af. ter the ascension of our blessed Lord; by others, not for six or seven years after.? But however this may be, it is assuredly the most interesting and important event that the Gospel history records, of which mere man isthe subject; and is three times minutely detailed in the Acts of the Apostles.? By St. Luko it is narrated historically in the ninth chapter; by St. Paul himself, in his apology to the Jews, in the twcnty.second chapter; and again to Festus and Agrippa, in the twenty.sixth chapter. How important this event was to the church in general, we may easily perceive, if we con. sider that of the inspired epistles, which constitute so large a portion of the Now Testament "scriptures of truth," more than five sixths are from the pen of this great Apostle. How important to us in particular wiil also readily appear, if we reflect that St. Pnu! was in a peculiar manner the Apostie of the Gcn'iles ; and that if wo could trace those subtile and hidden links which connect moral cause and effect, we should distinctly perceive that our profession, this day, of the Gospel of Christ, and conse. quontly all our religious privileges for time, and all our hopes and prospects for eternity, have been the result of the conversion and cpcsticship, of the preaching and writing, of this great aposde. Sad may bo considered ns a colossa' specimen of man in the three great aeras o his spiritual history, as he himself hns de? finod: "alive without the law"?awakened self-condomned, and imprisoned undor the ?pardoned, and emancipated by grace.? We might trace the various steps of his conversion and inquire whether it does not present a lively and accurate description of man as he is by nature?of man under the process of that grand climacteric of his spiritual life, when he is in transition from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God?and of man after this great change has passed upon him, and when renewed in the spirit of his mind he is made a partaker of holiness and happiness even here below, and is enabled to look forward to the lust great change, at which unrencwej nature shudders and recoils, with joy unspeakable and full ofglory. ABNEU fNEELAND. This notorious individual has at length been compelled by povety to leave Boston. "The way of the transgressor is hard"! The T rumpet and Magazine, a Universalis! paper, thus notices the departure of its co. laborer in the cause of infidelity! Poor Abner Kneeland (we pity him from our soul) has been obliged to leave Boston and seek a home somewhere else. He left Boston week before last, on his way to the far west. Many who countenanced and supported hioa wh<m he removed to this ci'y went away and left hirn to his fate. His congregation at Summer-street dwin. died to nothing. In assigning his reasons for leaving the city, he says, in die Invest!gator: "I found by remaining longer thcat I should nst only consume what Tittle I had, but should be under the neccseiiy of eonw. ming that which proporiy belongs to others. Hence I thought ifl must go, I had hotter go while I had something to go with, and should be able to do something for my family when away, than to wait till all was B.xpended so as to have nothing to go with, and at the same time be too old to help oiflipp mvcplf nr familv nnv where else." Sinco writing the above, we have seen tho Vale dictory Address of Abner Knceland to the First Society of io boston, published in a handbill. give the last two paragraphs of the Address. It se?ms Mr. Knccland recommends his sceptical followers, if they can not maintain a meeting of their own, to disperse themselves among the Unitarian congregations of the city, who he declares, "are nothing more than a fashionable kind of Deists." "Hut it may be said, we must have some meeting for our families to go to, or else our children will run wild. Well, if you must, your lectures can bo kept up as cheap as you can attend any other meeting. Or if you cannot do this, why, then, just go to some Unitarian mooting, for the aako of being in the fash:on. The Unitarians are nothing more than a fashionable kind of Deists bt lieiving perhaps more in "tho god of the statute," than in any other God, distinct from nature; but they have very little to say in their preaching about heaven or hell, God or Devil, in any way that any body can tell what they mean by the terms; while they deliver many, as 1 am told, very goud moral lectures. Should tlrey advance any speculative notions at any time, this you can point out to your chidren on your return, so as to prevent any deleterious effects. And let your children understand, and let the world as well as the minister know, that you do noi hfdteve in sin*h rlncrmas that VOU PO with " o / "" * o your children to meeting only for the sake of the exercise, and to teach them gooc manners, as well as to hear good morals and not for the sake of any doctrine that is taught. To teach your children doctrinf go with them into the country; take then into the fields and gardens ; show them th( growth of vegetation, and let them see the little lambs frolic and play. "Brethren and friends, farewell! Accep this as my valedictory address. Improve upon all the truth 1 have taught you, and profit by all the good advice I have giver you. And whatever of imperfection ma) be discovered, either in word or deed, tha is submitted to your better judgment witt a view to further improvement.?Again 1 say farewell. Abner Kneelaxd." Said a fellow to a Jew, a while ago, did you know that they hang Jews and Jackass, es together in England ?" " No I didn't," replied the Irsraelite, " but if it be true, it is fortunate that you and I are not there. NEGROES FOR SALE.
