That teacher alone, whose eye is open to the immense value of religious
influences, and who perceives the importance of trifles in morals, can
properly feel his great responsibility, or be qualified to guide the
young in the way of life.




DUTY OF PARENTS.


Parents should see that their children understand their lessons, and
that they commit them perfectly. They will thus both aid and encourage

A SCHOLAR'S REMEMBRANCE OF THE PIC-NIC OF 1850.


How bright, my dear mother, this sweet summer morning,
Does everything round me appear;
The sun the tall steeples with gold is adorning,
And lights up the skies blue and clear.

All freshly around me the west wind is blowing;
And, mother, I smell the sweet hay
Which was left on the Common from yesterday's mowing;
How I wish they'd not take it away.
