ADVERTISEMENTS.

When e'er at evenings peaceful close,
I bend the knee in prayer,
Then, Brother, will I ask for thee,
High heaven's most tender care.

I'll ask that friendship, love and hope,

May in thy pathway smile,
That faithful friends be ever near,
Thy sorrows to beguile.

I'll ask that mid each tempting snare,
That this seductive world portrays,
That virtue pure may thee attend,
Asit has done in younger days.

I'll ask that piety may shed
Its cheering beams on thee
I'll ask let what will be thy lot,
That thou wilte'er remember me.
SUSAN.

EDUCATION.

—

unfortunate class of our fellow men to
whom God lias denied the use of two important senses. The science of education
has however, now advanced to that degree
in Prussia and Saxony that the dumb are
actually taught to articulate sounds, to speak,
to xeod with distinctness and propriety. We
have first been made acquainted with this
astonishing fact in reading the VHth Annul
Report of Horace Mann, Esq. the intelligent Secretary of the Massachusetts Board
of Education. It appears from the Report
that Mr Mann has travelled over Europe
for the benefit of gathering light to pour
upon the common school system of Massachusetts—a State where education has a
strong hold upon the lore and affection of
all classes in society. How true it is, that
the educated are awak in every laudible
way of improving their systems of education.
After giving an account of the system
pursued in imparting to the dumb the
knowledge of sounds and the use of their
articulating powers, the learned Secretary

remarks:—

they had been in expectation of the wine.
They were surprised. They looked at
him, and he looked at them. After locking the door on them, he said—" Don't be
suprised, gentlemen: when I dined with
you, you made me drink whether I would
or not; now I shall make you eat, whether
you will or not."
We love and venerate customs and usages which exert a good influence, and especially if they came down from bygone
ages; but if their tendency is hurtful and
injurious to society, then let them be abandoned. If a fashion is pernicious to individuals and society, then get a new one.—
That the wine drinking usages of society
have and do exert a most unhappy and
baleful influence there can be no doubt
when it is considered how many are now
confirmed in their habits of intemperance,
who commenced their downward career as
fashionable wine drinkers.
