Early Rising

vs.

Eabdy Retiring.

—To all young persons, to ,students,
to the sedentary, and to invalids, the
fullest sleep that the system B’h) take,
without artificial means, is the halUi of
life—without it, there can be no res­
toration to health and activity again.
By all which we mean to say that as
physiological truth is more demonstra­
ble than that the brain and with it the
whole nervous system is recuperated
by sleep, it is of the first importance, as
to the wel-beingof the human system,
that it have its fullest measure of it;
and to that end, the habit of retiring to
bed early should be made imperative
on all children, and no ordinary event
should be allowed to interfere with it.
Its moral beaithtulness is not less im­
portant than its physical. Many a
young man, many a young woman, has
taken the first step toward degradation,
and crime, and disease, after leu o’clock
at night; at which hour, theyear round,
the old, the middle-aged, and the
young, should be in bed, and the early
rising will take care of itself, with the
incalculable accompaniment ofa fully—bodj-and a-reiiovated brain.
We repeat it, there is neither wisdqfci,
nor safety, nor health, in early risihg
in itself; but there areali of them in the
persistent practice of retiring at an ear­
ly hour, Winter and Summer;—jRaW’e

language in all its extent arid com­

■.
Language, being an object, may be
studied objectively.
Children should be taught to use
gririd language, by correcting all their
improper modes of expression, before
they can uridCrstand the grammatical
reason for the correction.
As children learn to speak by speak­
ing (not by learning the rules of
speech), sb children may* learn to
write by writing, without learning
the rules of composition.
As people become fluent talkers by
beginning early and talking much,
people may become reader writera by
beginning early and writing much.
A«
— „„ children ard^ aible ta
to Speak "
in definite sentences and pure English;
and as soon as they are able to use the
pen, they should be taught to write in
definite sentences and pure English.
As children never talk of that of
which they know nothing, they should
not be asked to write of what they
|:now nothing;
As a means of becoming familiar
with language, children should be
taught to write down, frequently,
their ordinary conversations.
School recitations may, with great
advantage, be cond,ucted in two ways,
—orally arid, in wfiting.
The teacher should take advantage
of interesting event* within the knowl­
edge of his scholars, and require them
foliate them orally • and in writing.
The teacher should take advantage
of interesting ; events / -within the
knowledge of his scholars, and require
them to relate them orally and in
writing
? :; t/
.
As the common words of our
language are leanied by hearing them
often in connected discourse, so the
less common words should be learned
by reading them often in connected
discourse.
As words learned by the ear are not
thoroughly appropriated until they
are pronounced by the tongue, so
words learned by the eye (reading)
are not completely mastered until
they are reproduced to the eye by
writihg.
'
^ As the. child learns its. early langh«ge~^4«4iFebtly^-whH:e i» -pTrrgUTtrtlf'*amusement, or gratifying its curiosi­
ty, or thinking only of expressing its
feelings,' so its early language may be
best extended by extending its sphere
of general knowledge.
Therefore, reading for information
and amusement should form a prominent part of school exercises, distinct
from reading for elocutional purposes;
and that all knowledge so obtained
should be re-produced , iu writing, or
speaking.
A practical knowledge of the Eng­
lish language,—^the ability to speak
it, read it, and write it correctly in
it^ simplest,forms; and a familiar ac­
quaintance with a few of our best
anthors,—forms tjie only sure foundation on which to commence'the analytical study of English Grammar.

Memory.—Sir William Hamilton
told borne marvelous stories in bis lec­
tures on Memory.. -Hen Johnson
could not only repeat all he had writ­
ten, but‘whole books he had read.
Neibuhr in his youth was employed in
one of the public oflices of- Denriiark,
where part of a book of accounts hav­
ing been lost, he- restored it from his
recollection. Seneca complains of oldage, because he <?annot as he ooce did,
repeat two thousand names in the
order they were read to him; and
avers that on one occasion, -when at
his studies, two hundred unconnected
verses having been pronounced by
-difibreufe p upil&- of bis preceptor, be
repeated them in a reversed order,
proceeding from the last to the first
uttered.* A qpick and retentive mem­
ory, both of words and things, is an
invaluable treasure, and may be had
by any one who will take the pains.
Theodore Parker, when in the divinity
school, had a notion that his memory
was defective and needed looking
after, and he had an immense Chrono­
logical chart hung up in his room,
and tasks himself to commit the con­
tents, all the names and dates from
Adam -to the year one, down to Nim­
rod, Ptolemy, Soter, Heliogabalus,
and the rest. Our verbal memory
soonest fails us, unless we attend to it
and keep it in fresh order. A child
will comr^il^and Yeeitie verbatim easier
than an adult, and girls than boys.
To keep the verbal memory fresh, it
