.d,;spg our readers Of wha, is going IN Europe,
a, the grea! subject Of Educatlon-we say great
sloec, for as surely 1t is true, that as the twig
;sbept the tree ucl!nes, surely will The mora!s
and character of a community depend on The
management and education OF It's youth By educa-
,;oo we do not mean, altogether, what is taught
vtun the four walls of the school house. That
oien constitutes but small portion, and, accord
ing TO existing systems, unfortunately not the best
,orton of a lads education. That is the aggre-
gate result of all the impressions thatare made upon
him through all his senses, and by whatever OBJECT
oripfluence and is therefore liable TO be, and N
fact is modified by all surrounding circumstances
Hence the high obligation upon Parents, not only
TO set their children the best example II their own
live, and conversation, but 10 be as caIetp as the
nature Of things will admit, in respect OF the cha
cter their associates, and the nature OF the books
they road, quite as much as they should be oi their
bodily health. The great bent, the turning point IN
the character and fortunes oi some ct the greatest
men that have lived in the world, has been clearly
traced to, apparently, the mcrest accident. Newton,
the creator OF Natural Philosophy, was reading I'm
der an apple tree, when falling apple put him TO
thinking on the Irimciplcof grcviy, and TO that ap-
parent accident Qor there are no real ones) the
world is indebted for the "NEwroNIAN SYSTEM OF
Philosophy" We mention thus familiar case to
show how entirely we are The creatures of circua'-
stances, and thence to insist on the Importance on
the part of parents that they should watch ever and
endeavor most assduousy, as far on them de-
pends, TO watch over and control and give such
direction TO these circumstances as shall result in
rlying to their children habits OF cleanliness and in
dus,ry, and sentiments Of just pride and love OF
truth and independence. Short OF these endeavors,
atleast whatever may be the degree OF his success
no parent acquits himself of his duty, nor can he
claim exemption from responsibility if his child
turn out, in manhood, TO be wretchcd or worth
less. Every such parent deserves the reproach,
which we all remember was flung at the mother,
by the felon son, who commenced by stealing the
horn-book, for which he went, unpunlshrd and un-
warned, career of villainy that ended with the
gallows. But all the care and soi!ciude OF the
most vislant parent may be frustrated and rendered
abortlve, mot sustained by the cooperation of his
neighbos. The mind Of his child may, In some
unsuarded moment, be polluted by vicious assocla-
tion, which il is impossible for him 10 prevent; nor
sit easy for individuals to organize and keep W
The best systems Of practical instruction. THIS great
duty is properly the business of enlightened LceiS-
lstors and these again can only be found or eN-
pected when good education is generally dlttused
Good education and wise legislation so hand iii
hand, recprocally propping each other, and guaran-
teeing, in fact constituting the public weltare-ior
in what else, worthy of consideration, does tina!
consist beyond wise laws, and the sound puhllc

Governments should be TO Citizens what parents

oiapparently The souudesl and most Pre- using con-
satullons are not always administered in that pa
temal and conservative spirit. Much better ate
they, In practice, as sometimes conducted to make
pemasosues and Politici,ns, than Statesmen aud
raulos; converting, by prostitution OF the pub
lie patronage, 10 sinister and party purposes, every
citizen into place hunter, and every holder o.
place INTO dumb and ahject slave, or hypocrltica
time-server; until every man Of intelligence and

opinion and public affairs, gives up in disgust, aud
seeks the private station POS; of honor Thos,
who succeed by thus pervertlng the power and the
ends OF government, may enjoy their lsoiien IN

the midst OF party vicisstudes and shouts OF party
