TRUE SATISFACTION.


To the faithful teacher, there is no greater pleasure than is afforded
on each returning Sunday, by his labors with his class. Wielding
Christian truth in the full exercise of human affections, he moulds the
young heart as with a hand divine.

Punctuality.--One of the beauties of the Sabbath school is the
punctuality of its scholars and teachers.




FEMALE EDUCATION.


In ancient days female education was almost entirely neglected, and
woman's intellectual powers were left to slumber. Her mind was a barren
waste, exhibiting no rich, luxuriant verdure, diversified only by a few
outward accomplishments, which served to please the fancy of the
stronger sex. The Spartan woman, distinguished for her sternness of
character and warlike disposition, looked with shame upon a son who
could return from battle unless victorious, ever teaching him, from his
earliest infancy, "to conquer, or to die on the battle-field." All the
gentle and amiable qualities of the heart were repressed in their
growth; and, while Sparta offered to her _sons_ the rich boon of
intellectual culture, her _daughters_ were thought unworthy of the gift.
