THE EDUCATION OF THE HAND. . People, with a few unfortunate exceptions, h;tve "each two hand. We should nt mention this fact, w eft it not that in the education of youths, only one seems to he generally considered. Children are told to hold their knives in the right hand when cutting their food, and when this jk t essary operation is completed, to lay N down and use their forks while eating, still employing the right hand. The only further instruction they receive in regard to the left hand, is to keep it clean in common with the right hand, and not to get into the habit of thrusting it into their poekeU They are taught that whenever one hand only is require 1, the preference is to be triven to the right. Thus the left h ind is with the large majority of people, a comparatively useless member, employed only to supplement the other in all man ual operations. "Without pausingjto inquire into the origin of this MMdm custom, it is sufficient for our purpose to say that it has no foundation in the anatomy of the hand, or in any natural peculiarity of the human mind. To the anatomist both hands are alike gifted by nature, and constitute most beautiful and complex machines. So much does the power and dominion ot man over inferior animals, crude materials, and natural forces, depend upon the hand, that were it possible to deprive the human race of this important member, and put in its stead a mere paw, or a hoof, ;t might well be asserted that man would soon find a common level with the beasts, notwithstanding his superior intellect. This assertion, of course, does not admit the poasibilit) of using the foot as a substitute for the hand, which has been successfully done in several remarkable instances. Should any of our accomplished bookkeepers, editors, or any other class of professional men, accustomed all his life to write with his right hand only, set that hand crushed by an accident on his way home some evening, the inconvenience, loss of time, and perhaps loss of lucrative position that would be likely to accrue be fore he could recover its use, or in case of it total loss, before ne could acquire the art of writing with his left hand, would be a serious matter. Many a young man found the loss of the right hand a serious matter during the recent war, and many another has thanked God while submitii us; 10 lue surgeons Kl'Ie, mat It was ouiv the lett arm that had to be sacrificed. As well might we teach children to hop about on the right foot, to keeD the left eye closed, and to stop the left ear with cotton, as to teach them to maenifv the value of the right hand at the t xnense ot the left. Nor, in renouncing this absurdity, would it be necessary to violate existing social conventionalities. The fork may be held'in the right hud when eatiiv :tnu me Kniie maytaKe its place m cutting RMS, lheseare small matters, observed only ior conventional reasons. In driving on country roads we always turn out to the risbt, but on that account we do not fife a spavin on a horse's left leg any less scrio' s than one on his right leg? The tirf t thing, then, to be considered in the education ot the hand, is the establish ment oi rjotn hands on an equal footing. W may next pass to the consideration of its uses and structure lne hand is essentially the organ of loueu. xew peopie appreciate the vast amount of information we obtain through this one avenue to ..lie mind : what siihtile ideas of texture and quality in material of comparative weight, of unseen motion ana temperature, are obtained sotVlv t n r m gn wie sense ot touch.

Moreover, all verv skillful snr surgeons use the knife in either hand with cquai lacuiiy. oucn mctiy oi touch is essential in all very nice and delicate manipulations. And here let us note a fact first brought to our notice by a verv skillful German watchmaker, to wit, that the practice of punishing children w'th th rat.tn or ferule on the hand, prevalent in many of our schools, must necessarily be detrimental to this Berne. It was his custom when l iking his children to school, to request tiie teacher to adopt some other mode of punishment than this barbarous Method explaining that as his children were to be bred to the art of watchmaking, it was essential that their delicacy of touch should remain unimpaired. While we do not intend to discuss here the much debated question of the necessity of conioral punishment, in the training of children, we will say that it such punishment is ever needed, nature seems to us to have provided tor the emergency, and that no delicate nerves, muscles and bones need beendai.ere i m its administration. 1 should extend this artiele too much were we to attempt a minute analysis ot the hand; but we assert that the niot complete education and development of its powers can only be obtained through a perfect knowledge of its parts, and their offices. This fact has been appreciated by at leat one ot the anthors of piano-forte methods now in use in the schools, and ho by private music teachers; and in long exigence and observation upon the sub.'ect we have found that pupils pfwertM much more rapidly both in mum and penmanship who are first prepared by a , ' UIC rueture of the hand. and by L-Aercises caK-u ite to develop the weaker mus les an.l tr. r..n,i each independent of the others. In the education of the fingers, the first thinHinstructor has to surmount, is not only natural but artificial inequalit.es in their strength and mobility. The fingers are not naturally of equal power, and the relative disability of the weaker ones is increased by the employment of the stronger, and disuse of the weaker ones. In fie playing of musical instruments, it is necessary to eliminate inequalites of power, and n n o'er the fingers, as nearly as may be.of equal povcr, without weakening the naturally stronger ones. In other words, the weak fingers should be as relatively strong as " natural, while all ought to be much stronger than any would be without a thorough course of education. It is a fact known to all good teachers that excellence in penmanship-ease and rapidity being awn med as indisdensable elements of excellence fa only obtained '-y first seennng a proper position for the hand and arm while holding the pen All teachers must have observe.', how difficult ot attainment a proper position is with the majority of pnpiK (ne r,;Ipil nwU lt impossible to fh x the thumb properly without aiding the feeble muscles, thus called almost for the first time into play by gripping the pen as though it were to be pinchad in two. Another braes the hand by sticking out the third an I 'ourth lingers upon Ufl paper, and abaoal drops tie pen when he attempts to withdraw them ; his muscles will not act independently. Others seem to have onlv the power to open and c ose the fingers all ther, and clutch the pen as though it wTe a miniature club, with which the fur sheet before them is to be thrashe! Then efforts are abaoluw !y painful to them, and are apt la be uneharit aWy looked upon by teacher,-. As well might they be expected to stand upo.i one foot with ease and camfort as to control the fa ble undisciplined, aching, and trembling muscles, ipon which these new and extraordinary demands are made. A common aam view of this subject suggests that h ng before the hand grasps a pen, or the fingers touch the keys of a piano, the weak muscles should be gradually s.re-.rrthened by proper esarelM; and while it if not our purpose to specify such a cour of exercises, we suggest to those now eiaged in promoting physical education in our schools, that they ought to prepare proper exercises designed to meet the requirements of the case. They might easily be adapted to mmme, and Introduced into the schools, and nonld be practiced by even the youngest Jwhile siugir.g, or with the accompaniment of :m iwstrument. If proof were wanted of the generally deficient education of the hand, nothing better could be adduced than the Tact that, notwithstanding writing isoneof the most

important and universal manual operations, it is on the average, perhaps, the most imperfectly executed. There are many men who can peg shoes, or do fine sewing, or play a violin for many hours together ; but there are comparatively few who can write many consecutive letters without great fatigue. On the contrary, the extent to which its powers can be defnleped is shown in the manipulations of joggten, and in very many important mechanical operations. The subject of physical education is now attracting universal attention, and its importance is generally admitted. It has, however, been too exclusively considered in relation to health, and instruction has l)cen confined principally to the development of the larger HMClei of the hotly and increase of general strength. This is all right so far as it goes, bui it ought not to be forgotten thai in the emergencies of life the hand plays by far the most important part of all the members, and that to enlarge its powers, is to add directly to the resources of its possessor. If legs are lost, skillful hands can supply partial substitutes. If eyes are extinguished, the hand if educated can still supply the physical necessities of the blind. If hearing fails, the hands replace spoken languge by an inferior but intelligible language of signs, but if the ha mis are lost what can in any measure

compensate for this overwhelming calam ity f The feet can only in a measure take the place of hands after manv vears ot practice, and immunitv from the severe tabor oi walking; and it is very doubtful whether any adult could ever succeed in making toes do the work of fingers, al though children born without anus have In en known to d 0 What excuse can there be, then, for neg lecting the early and careful instruction of bo'h hands. Wl are not speaking of an impiacticable thing when we say it is possible to rear chi' ' jn so that whatever one hand can do the dier may do euuallv well. We know Urs .as been accomplished in manv notab'e instances, where tue c.isabilitv of the left hand has been rectified, in spite of all obstacle! arising from bad habits acquired in childhood. t We havo seen surgeons transfer an instrument from one hand to the other during an operation, whenever convenience required it, without the least awkwardness. We have seen draftsmen using both hands in coloring drawings, an immense advantage both to rapidity of work and evenness of shading. e have see woodmen chop timber rurht or left handed," and one carpenter who used a hammer or saw with either hand with ncarlv equal facility. In all these I cases, the use of the left hand in common with the right gave verv much greater efficiency. We have seen many instance! of chil dren whose parents were foreigners, grow ing up among children of American birth. and speaking the language of their parents, or of their playmates, with equal facility, and we are confident that the two languages are acquired in such cases as easily as one would 1k The same ease would undoubtedly attend the learning to BSC either hand tor all necessary manipula tions, so that no fear that bot Ii would become awkward need be apprehended.Thus the resources of those 'dependent unon manual labor lor subsistence would : be nearly doubled, much time and expense I would be saved in the acquirement of arts Specially requiring the employment of the left hand, ami the superior grace and dignity attending complete and symmetrical development would be in a much larger measure attained. neb. more might be said in regard to the education of the hand, but as this artieie is only intended to arouse the attention of thinking people to a radical defect in physical education, we may appropriately close our remarks with the following quotation from that admirable poem " The Hand and its Work," by Mrs. Hale.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

(Jood Farming Hon not to Do It. BY W. A. C'ROFFt'T. If you are a young man, bend all your energies to acquiring the fastest horse in the neighborhood, and show your activity by cutting a swell behind him around the country. Wait patiently until M the old man" dies and bequeaths to you his farm, then hire Dan Tucker to take care of it, instructing him to use his own judgment and not bother you. Encourage the raising of live-stock by attending horse-races, and patronize breeders by stak ig your money on the result. Connect yourself with the agricultural DKM by subscribing for some journal that gives rural advice from the Standpoint of '-the Turf and Hiug." Show your interest in the growth of rye, barley, and hops by partaking freely of the beverages therefrom concocted. Give your countenance in the same way to tobacco culture. Don't get married; you can hardly afford that sort of husbandry. In about four years, if the farm b a good one and If you are as frugal as you will be likely to be, Dan Tucker, or a more enxcprising neighbor, will foreclose sundry mortages, taku your worthless property off your hands, and leave you to go to sea to complain of your "bad luck," denounce farming as an "occupation, and wonder what has become of your money ! If you are an old hand at ft, without expensive vices, and still manage to keep a farm going on slip shod principles, the following rules, closely followed, will enable you to do all your work uniformly in the wont possible manner : Conrcrning Lam1. Buy all you can on credit, and mortgage every thing to insure its payment To farm it by the thousand acres is Napoleonic it shows genius, you know, and sounds well. Purchase poor land at a low price, rather man thy nest at a high price; you will thus get, at least, half as much harvest for your subsequent labor, and you will have all the improvement for lngif there should happen to be any. Never drain; if you do, the farm-work will be hastened, crops increased, and ma nure saved besides which, you will lose the stagnant water and the "buried crockery." Plough shallow ; keep doing as your grandfather did, and stick to it that "yallerearth is pizen." Concerning Manure. Uuild your hog pen, ana, it possible, your barn-yard, across a running stream; this will carry the filth oil your farm, and vou will not he troubled with it. Some of our best i farms arc alwavs stuck up with manure ! If there is, unfortunately, no stream handy, move your ham, when the manure has become packed five or six feet Inyonr yard, to another side-hill, and start again; the original deposit will wash away in time. By this philosophical method of Hanking do thousands of farmers throughout the Wflit get rid of a nuisance, and promote that cleanliness which is said to be next to godliness. Don't be persuaded to sow clover and then waste it by plowing it under; be sure that these "book-farmers" who advocate such doings have clover-seed to sell ! If, after the above treatment, your soil yields any crops, never feed or plow under the straw or corn-stalks, but always burn them; you will thus "get them out of the way." and will graduallv diminish the growth of straw and "stalks, till ultimately the re will hardly be any to burn. Concerning Chns, Plant and sow v ry late; by so doing, you will diminish ti e crop an amount equal to the whole net profit that is, you will get nothing tot your labor. ivnw your eoro-neKM to ne niieu with a dense undergrowth of weeds, and your potatoes, turnips and onions with a dense over-growth of ditto; it will not cost halt so much to harvest )'(ur crop, and money paid out in the fall is an important item. Don t be fooled with the cry of M rotation." Dirt is dirt, isn't it f and if a field will grow potatoes, of course it will grow wheat. Keep your corn in the "corn-lot"' all your lite, us your father and mine did if you were to jump around from field to field, as the book-farmers advise, your corn crop would very nkely outgrow me granary, ami tuen wnai a ux you ei be in !

UA. - a a n it a ' 'ir. one nas sum me character o the stock on a farm depends essentially upon the cultivation and w itioo ed the soil. Grass is not only the natural foot nut lne beat food for stock. The better the grass, the more nourishment does it con tain. When erass is coarse and sour, an full of weetla, a great quantity of it must oe consumed to ootata a little nutriment The animal must tfo through the labor o digesting a large bulk to gain a naall result ; whereas it the grass is sweet, and irr from all foreign admixtures, the nourishment is concentrated, and a small quantity of it contains more nutriment than nin be extracted from a large amount of bushes and wi eds. The success of the breeders of good stock generally depends upon the quality of the grass grown upon the farm, quite as much as upon blood and skill. A gentle-

man purchased a fine cow, remarkable for the quantity and quality of her milk, and took her to his home, where she soon fell

on in the quantity of her product. When he complained that she did not sustain her reputation, her former owner replied, " When I sold you my cow, 1 did not sell you my pastures." When we read in the papers accounts of the sale to the butcher of fine three-year-old steers, or two-year-old heifers, at a high price, we consider it evidence not only of good blood, possessing early fattening qualities, but also of good soil, well cultivated. The Johnsons, the Lathrops, the Chenerys, the Morr.sses and other celebrated breeders, all raise good hay, on a clean soil, and cut it and put it into their barns while it still retains the qualities of grass. Fifteen or twenty pounds of butter a week, not only proves the superior character of a cow, but also that she is kept on a good soil, well cultivated. For we hold it impossible to bring a cow up to the condition in which she will yield such an amount by any other means. Grain may be given for a short time to finish off a fattening animal, but it will not secure the necessary conditions of health and growth. These can be obtained only by good grass and liay. So when a cow has been brought up to the condition in which she will yield a large quantity of butter by good grass and hay, the quantity may be increased by corn and oil meal for a short time, but this forcing proeem cannot be continued with safety. Farmen have a lesson to learn in these respects. Experience and observation are the best teav hers. If a farmer wishes to keep or breed firstrate stoc-K, be must begin by putting his pastures and mowing fields in first-rate condition. It is a waste of capital to buy expensive animals and undertake to keep them upon poor pastures or poor hay. To attempt to 'make up the difierence by teeuing upon grain, will take oft all the profit, and the animals will inevitably deteriorate. There is no food that can be profitably substituted, in the long run, for gran and hay. Feeding upon large quantities of coarse food will injure their forms and change their characters. Feeding largely upon grain ana concentrated food will injure their health and capacity for breeding. Milch cows fed chiefly upon good grass and hay will often do good servi. e till they are twelve or sixteen years old. The cows in the city stables rarely hurt through the second year, fed as they are upon brewers' grain, and distilleryhouse Slop. A well drained, well-worked soil will make goexl hay, aud no other soil will do t. L nt if, then, the soil is in this coneliion, tha best results, cither in dairy produets or iu beef, cannot be reached. 2K E. For i, a r. A Chapter on Borers. Xkart.y every tree, plant, and cereal ms aa attendant borer that works in it. rite ones which we now propose to no tice are those infesting fruit and shade trees. There are two infecting the apple tree, neither of which we have seen in this country, but there doubtless are orchards in which th' v mav be found. The round hcadeu apple tree borer lays its eeg8 al the base of the tree during the month of June, and for the first year the vounsj worms eat the solt wood just under the bark. They mav be detected bv the sawdust which iscast out, or by the bark becoming dead and cracked; cutting out with a kniie should be resorted to. The M Miid year it bores directly into the tree, sometimes clear through, but docs not emerge until the third season, when the laying of eggs takes place, and the same process is gone over again. Kubbing soft or hard soap around the base of the tree in -May is sud to be a preventive ; a niece of soap should also be laid in the tbrkaofthe tree to be worked down by the ruin. We should supnrse that moundInglip would answer the same purpose, but v. e have never seen it tried. The flat-headed borer makes an oval hole, and only remains in the tree one season. It does not confine itself to any part .ilarpart of the tree, but warks in the large limbs and trunk mostly. The s:ip remedy is also effectual, but must be applied more generally. This is the most e nnmon species at the West, and it also attacks the sor' maple, oak, peach and other tree The peacfe-Vree borer is common all over the Wi St, and its presence may be known by the gam exuding from the tree at the surface of the ground. The moth lays its eggs during May and June. Banking the trees up a foot high in the spring Is s-iul to be a perfect remedy. All peach trees should be examined at once, and the little villains killed before the' emerge In the moth state. They also trouble the plum, but the gum do - imt exude from their puncture. The raspberry is also troubled by a stalk borer, which, IB some cases, has nearly rained acres of plants. We do not know ol any remedy except leaving the business Those who have planted silver or soft maple tr shade trees, and have had them ruined, will be phased to learn, that by rubbing the tree with hard or soft soap, as high up among the branches as possible, they will not be troubled by this insect. Maples are usually attacked the first year after planting. If they then escape there seems to be no no danger afterward. Exchange. U8EFDL RECIPES, ETC.

An exchange gives the following directions Cor driving young horses: "fn teachni a young horse to drive well, do not hurry to see how fast he can trot, Keep eaeh pace ch ar and distinct from the other that is, in walking, make him walk, and do not allow him to trot. While trotting, be equally careful that he keeps steady at

his pace, and do not allow him to alack into a walk. The reins, while driving, should be kept snug ; and when pushed to the top of his speed, keep him well in hand, that he may learn to bear well upon the bit, so that when going at a high rate ef speed, he can be held at his pace, but do not allow him to pull too hard, for it not only unpleasant, but makes it often difficult to manage him." Wintering Geraniums in Moss. Last winter, we kept a number of large geraniams in dry moss, and propose to do the same thing this season, as it is a very cheap method of preserving plants not wanted to decorate the house in winter. The plants were taken up soon after the first light frost, the soil shaken from their roots, and then all ie leaves and the young succulent branches removed. Some moss that had been previously taken from the swamp and thoroughly dried was spread over the bottom of a box : upon this we placoda layer of plants, then more moss, and so on alternately until the box was full. The box was then set away upon a shelf in a dry, warm cellar, where it remained undisturbed until spring. The plants came out in good condition, and have grown well this summer in the open ground, and are now in full bloom. There is danger of the plants rotting if the cellar is damp. A warm room will probably answer as well as a cellar. Hearth and Home.

w Postal Decision. TnE United States Mail for November publishes a new decision of the Post Office Department, as follows: "Another decision of importance has also been made ( reversing a decision announced some years since) in regard to newspapers partly printed in one count y and published in another. Formerly such papers were decided to be not entitled to the privilege of free circulation allowed to newaoanera 1 printed and published within the county ; ' but the Department has now ruled as follows : 44 ' A newspaper having a known office of publication, notwithstanding one side of the same is printed in another county or State is entitled to the same privileges as though both sides were printed at the said office of publication.

Countless millions of cubic feet of malarious vapor reek from the moi?t earth every twenty-four hours during the month of Nofenber. This evaporated moistnr is the active principle which begets fever and ague, bilious remittents, indiuostion, dysentery, bilious cholic, rhermatism. and many other ailments which prevail more generally in the Fall thnn at other seasons, and some of which, in low. wampy regions and new Clearing, take the f irm of virulent epidemics. The best safeguard against the-e complaints, as evidenced by the experience of a long series of years, is IIOSTKTTKK'S STOMACH HITTEitS. the MMl pleasant and at the Fame time the most elnVient of al) vegetable tonics. Th invigoration of the syt-tem is manifestly the best means at defending it against the causes of sickness, whether constitutional or casual. Nature, as every pathologist knows, is the most determined enemy of disease, and the paroxysms of an acute malady are in most instances the con.-.-queuces of the efforts she makes to conquer lne foe. The great object, therefore, of preventive treatment is to reinforce the system, and it is accomplished thoronghly, rapidly and safely, by the use of HOSTKTTEK S BITTERS. This powerful tonic contains also an aperient and corrective principle. It is no less valuable as a regulator and purifier than as an invigorant, and there is no danger of xciting the brain or over-i-timu.lating thtt circu lation by einployiiiir it as an Antidote. Cabinet Oboans at Low Pbice.- Some feeling hs been excited among MrrrsffsTiWTin flf reed organs by the low prices at which the Mason & ILamlin Oruan Company are now offering their well known iiif-trament. It is claimed that instruments of sjuch quality cannot be afforded at such prices, and tli.it the Company are, therefore, by their course, ruining the business of other manufacturers without benefiting themselves. The ground taken hy the Mason & Hamlin Company is, that this course is only in accordance with their fixed policy to sell always tha be-t instrumenta at the lowest remunerative prices. With tho rapid growth of their business, which has now assumed ery large proportions, they have ben enabled to avail themselves of new facilities, such as improved machinery, so that notwithstanding they are now producing the best organs they have ever made, the cost is at the same time reduced so that thwy can afford what seem to makers having less facilities to be ruinously low prices for work of such fine quality. It is admitted that no instruments can surpass the-u. and the ambition of most manufacturers is satisfied when they believe they are turning out organs "equal to the Mason & Hamun." Mr. Beecheron the Walt ham Watch. Mr. Bet'chcr hns written tho following letter : Brooklyn, Oct. 21, 189. Messrs. Howard it Co., JVo.HlU Broadway, New York : Gentlemen : I am happy to make you a good report of the Waltham Watch that I procured of you. It has far exceeded my expectations, and leaves me nothing to he desired. I have had it about five months, and during that time it has been running by the side of a mperiatiTC English watch (which one of the first chronologers pronounces "the finest watch that ever came to New York"), and the Waltham Watch has run more steadily, evenly, and accurately than its foreign competitor. I cannot conceive that a better watch can be made, and I am proud of it as a specimen of American skill and industry. Henry Wari BHCHB& Testimonial. Walter Muir, Esq., travelin; salesman for the large wholesale Drug House of French, Richards A Co., of Philadelphia, in a letter to Dr. R V. Pierce, o. Juffalo, N. Y., says: "Within the past few months Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy has found upon my list a most promising place.
