SCALDING HOGS. A gentleman of experience and observation

Specimens of penmanship, composition, nee-dle-work, mechanism, singing, Natural History, such as minerals and plants, and above all, the

children themselves must form a collection which

would enliven the dullest mind and warm the coldest heart. If children should be permitted to collect or

contribute something weekly for the benefit of

their school, as a present to their teacher, or to

another school, it would enlarge their hearts, by putting into practice the Christian principle of doing good.
