He ta a pi<his man, a.»l,d thefe children had the adva itageof good precepts under ht» in ft nation, iu an eminent' degree, but had reduced them to verv little practice. A-, they came to my fchool from fr»ome dis¬ tance, they were permitted to brlHng their dinners ; and, in the interval between corn¬ ing an 1 afternoon fchool hours, fp<.'*-"nt thrif time, with h number of lads undeVr f'rnih'r chcumftatices, in a playground adjoining the Ichoo! room. In this play-ground tl"e boys ufually enjoy an h-mr'a re:reatio*An : lnps balls, races, as what bell forts their1" inclina¬ tion, and the feafon* of the year ; 1 but with th'l-i charge,*' Let all be kept in ini'iincence.' Thefe lads thought themieives veryv happy, at p'^y, with their new a[f>cutes ; but on a fu I'Jen they vvere fcized and over<rcome by numbers, were brought into fchoo^' J11^ a* pe.ip'e in the lireets would feizea p^V-kpnc*- ct and bring him to a police offioe^* H-ip- * A pening at that time to be within, I i enqnnea, «* Well boys, what is all thie buitte<about V 4i Why fir," was the general reply)'* " rbefe **** lads have been leaving."

How disgraceful for a community to per- cnt crimes'of this fort to be committed with impunity, and uuhteded, 'til their frequency 1 compels every houfe-holder to become a po- heceman. The fyftematic and daring man- fler m which Store are entered and Robbed during the night li-rve evidently fhtwf. that there is a gang of villains about, who are Will acquai. ted with the place3 where li¬ quors are put, and that they are ch*ra&ers who rob to gratify their loft for drink, ra- t'if. than a dtfirc for plunder. In their mid- BtgTit rr.avauding they muft have a light, for the puncheons and barrels tapped have been jareruily pitrrcd and fpi^ooted, and placed foas to hide the theft; from curfory nbferva- tion.

The informer again 11: the fir!l cupvir h: "1 to repeat to me ihe words which be h"ul been ufing ; he fetmed to think ht« l^ps would be polluted by tlie repetition^ fo iue wrote them upon the fl.ite. The fecond »c- rufei fpelt the words vt.ry deliberately, i»"- ftcad of pronouncing them at full length, as is ufnal in other cafes. I have often oMc#>- ved boyi reluc^mt and afraid to make finch repetitions ; and am always happy to fee ti¬ midity on fuch oecaiions, and the watchfn1'- nefs many of the youth under my care exe^ cifeover each other for good. In eftablidl¬ ing this inftitution, the influence a matter rv-as over hia fchollars, and the influence th y have one over another, have been the object of conftant iludy and practice ; it has mo>ft happily fucceeded in proving that a very lar^e number of children may be fuperintended l'>y one mailer ; and that they can be fe'f edu¬ cated by their own exertion?, under hh ca-e. The whole fchool is arranged in elajle? ; a monitor is appointed to each, who is r<sd- ponfible for the cleanUnefs, order and i'rtn* provement of every boy in it. He is alii li¬ ed by boys, either from his own, or another clafs, to perform part of his duties for hiffl, when the number is more than he is equal ito manage himfelf. The proportion of boys who teach, eirlh- er in reading, writing or arithmetic, is as otne to ten. In fo large a fchool there are duties to Ibe performed, which limply relate to order, amd have no connexion with learning ; for thefc duties different monitors are appointed. Tftie word monitor, in this inflituti m, means, amy boy that has a charge either m fome depart¬ ment of tuition or of order, and \* not hmp.'ly confined to thofeboys who teach—the befcy that takes care that the writing books are nu. U>S by machines made for that purpofe, ;s the monitor of ruling—the boy who fupen;n. tends the enquiries after the abfentees is csi\\. ed the monitor of abfentees. The mom't Vs who infpvcl the improvement ofthecla-Tes :R eadinrx, writing, and arithmetic, are calh^ The benefit^ refultin^ . froiu a fyft^m of education which will create motives in tlie minds of youth, and induce them to exert their powers, is fir fup rior to any benefit the exertions of their matter can produce to them-. This wiM be illu frrated in a linking manner, by the following curious facets. Some years ago, a lad when about thirteen years of age, took it into his head to write paragraphs for news papers : he did fo, bit all his paragraphs were returned him imprin¬ ted. Previoufly to this he had attempted to write a collection of anecdotes : in this he divl not perfevere. He attempted to write a fermon, and left ft nearly iini(hed,and bet¬ ter than could be expected, confidering his education and youth. His next attempt was an anfwer to Paine\s Rights of Man, which was followed by a new fyftem of Phytic, a Democratical Pamphlet, and a Defence of Revealed Relijrcn. In all thefe attempt^ he walled many quires of paper, rofe in the mor- mug early, neglected his meals, and was of¬ ten wholly fwallowed up in the fubject with which his mind was engaged. Thefe were hi" various and fluctuating purfuits. But what was the refill t of all thefe laughable at- tempts ? He infenfibly acquired the art of thinking intenfely and clearly, on any fub¬ ject on which hi<- mind was engaged ; and, in the end, obtained a concife, familiar ityle of wilting, which, it is probable, he never would have acquired by any other means.
