three things, --Organization, Discipline,
and Instruction.

teacher's first duty. Without 'it ,succss-
ful teaohing is ircqtassible. The scholars.

, must be carefully larranged inclaeses,
according to the degree of their advanee-
ine.nt. Avoid having tbo many ' classes,
.and when poesible,, as in Geography,
. teach in large elesses. Rave a. time for
everything, a tirie for study, and for
cub, study, a tin for relation, and a
time for play. Let the school time be
carefully dividedamong the classes in
such a. manner as will be 'best adapted
, to the condition of the school, and most
just to all the puplis. Have a place for
everything ; let each sCholar have a seat

they were betrothed as el ildren, the
bridegroom's pledge of Marriage being
accompanied by a "security," or ,"wed,"
whence conies the word. Part of the
wed always consisted of a ring, placcd
on the 'maiden's right hand, and there
relitioutly kept until ,ransferred.to the

other hand at the later nuptials. Then,
i-1.1so, were repeated the •marriage vow§

those now prevailing heve grown. The
,bride was taken "for fairer for fouler,
for better for worse, for richer for poor-
er,', and promise,d `-to, be buxom and,
bonny" to hetefuture husband. At the,
final ceremony the bridegroom put the
ring on each of the bride's left band
-fingers in turntsaying at the first, "in
the name of the lather," at the second,
"in, the name of the son," at the thircL
"ini the name of the H.ley Gast," all d

head given with the shoe. The, hus-
band on his part took an oath to use
his wife well. If he failed to do so she
might leave him, but by the law he
was allowed cOneiderable license. He
was bound in honor "to-beetow on his
wife and' his apprentices moderate cast-
igation.", We have nothing to show
the exact amount of castigation held'

A MAN LIVES FOURTEEN DAYS' WITH-
OUT FOOD AND WATER.—The British
barkantine Cornucopia, Joseph Fowler,
master, which arrived at this port a few
days since from Androssan, loarled with
railroad iron, was the scene of a very ex-
traordinary and wonderful. occurence
during the passage out, A MAD named
John Montgomery shipped as a cook,_
and performe.d all his duties untill the
morning of the 12 of November last,
when he was, suddenly missing. The
vessel was at the. time in mid -ocean,
and after an unavailing seereh for the
missing, man, it was concluded that he
had fallenoverboard at night and had
been -drowned without being seen,'
Early on the morning of the 26th inst.,
the mate heard groans, as of -a Imman
being in extreme agony, prekeeding from
the hold and after a search found the
supposed dead man' John Montgomery,
concealed in a small space between the
bars of iron, where he had remained fori
feurteen days and eleven. hours, having
during that time tasted neither food nor
ddnk. His apperance -when found was
gastly in the extreme; exceedirgly
emacated, with pallid face, glassy, star-
ing eyes, he more resembled a skeleton.
plan a living man. He was also cover-
ed with vermite and could have sustain-
ed this horrible condition but a short
time longer. After being taken up
and fed with nourishing food he some-
what recovered, but even at this time is
stupitied and weak. He refuSes to give
any reasonfor his concealment of him-

found the iee in a slippery condition,
covering five tekers of artifichul waters,
which is owned by a stock kumpany,
friz to order. -Upon one side of the
pond was erected a little grocery build -
where the wimmin sot on benches,
while the'ifellers, kivered with bliishes,
hitched the irons to their pheat. It
was an exciting scene. • 1 was ready to

But I kept in and eked with glory.

on the pond sideby side with the male
angels, it was the most powerful scene,
I ever stood behind. The long red
