EDUCATION.

For me Friend.
One reason Why young people so often
think study a hardship and education irksome, arises from the manner in* which
their studies are conducted.
A certain portion of geography, of history, of languages, and various other subjects is read or committed to memory,
without any connexion between them being maintained. With regard to history,
for instance, a history of Greece or' of
Rome, or of England is pert into the hands
ofyoung persons, and when they have gone
through its pages, containing, a record of
certain events that transpire at certain periods, and of certain characters instrumental in producing those events; and if the
pupil can remember in what particular pe-

riod any great battle was fought, or'at what
time such a king reigned, or such a republic flourished, they ore then considered to
be acquainted with histoiy. They know,
however, no more of the mora] character?
istics of the several -nations which have
passed under review, of"their local peculiarities, of their progressive improvements,
of the intlueiitial bearing which one counpon another, than they know of
irmntion of their own minds, and'
think no,more -of the cause, and design of
the complicated, yet wise arrangement of
the earth's affairs, than they think of the
volitions which bring their own muscle* into play, their own limbs into action.
But let history be viewed, not as a mere

chronological register .of certain facts and
retires, a mere record of battles lost
or won, bbt as a science enriched with
treasures from almost -every source, as a
ecting link between .the various subjects of contemplation which ought to occupy the thoughts of intelligent beings,
and it will at once become a most interesting study.

The history of every nation comprehends, necessarily, its progress from barm to civilization; its internal changes,
causes producing those changes, and
irions characters by which they are
promoted; the rise and advancement of its
language, literature, laws, arts and scienmechanism of its legislative, politond eclesiastical system, together with
gnition and tracing out of that

bore a part? Intellectual and moral philosophy, which appears to me to be the history of the formation of character, is an
admirable preparation for rightly studying
biography and history, which furnish us
with the practical development, of character in conduct. If it be also -true that the
history of a nation will depend much on
its institutions,.whether legislative, civil ot
ecclesiastical, then its laws, its polities, its
church history, and- all its moral.and religious influences, should be examined. If,
too, the nation derive any of its glory from
mind, and mind's achievements, then let its
literature, its learned men, its arts, and its
artists, its sciences and its philosophy share
the attention they deserve. Blot from England's annals the names if Milton, Shakspeare*, Bacon, and Newton, and the glory
