By means of this they will grad- ually learn the value and use of money. They will learn that if all is spent to-day, there will be none to-morrowâ€" a lesson, by tbT way, thst many of their elders would do well to learn ' â€" and also the true mean- ing af obarity. Giving a chikl money to give to the poor may be a pleasure to them, and a pretty way cf helping those in want but I doubt that teaching a child the min- ing even of the form of charity that consists in giving. Simply giving our money or our time, when we have plenty of both, is hsrd- ly real charity, which surely does not mean giving what costs as nothing. But, ii the money or the time has oost us some self-de- nial in the way of paraooal exertion or economy, then truly the gift bleasea both giver and receiver. By the way, this may explain what one hears of so often from people, namely, "the ingratitnde of the lower orders." The rich give of their super- fluity, and exact in return gratitude. If gratitude were as easy as giving what it oeats us nothing to spare, the exchange woold be fair enough but, unluckily, grst- itade is at least as difficult a virtue as telf- denial. Both virtues come natorally to some people, no doubt, but those people, I fear we must coofecs, are not the rule, out the exception that proves it. BITINO E.XrE]UE:;CE. But to return to our children and their pooket money. As soon as they are old enough for responsibility, 'the allowaace should be increased to cover some naceasar- iea, as well as their memut plaitiri Girls at twelve or fourteen should be given so much a quarter for pooket money and for gloves, ties and the repairs ef their boote and shoes. Some people give the allowance for the h^U4iure itself but this is hardly a safe plan. Growing children should never wear either tight or short boots and shoes bnt girls don't understand what suffering the transgression of this rule will entail in after years, and naturally think that if they choose to economixe on their boots at some personal inconvenience it is quite fair- This allowance should always be punctually paid and the reoepient be made fully to under- stand what she is to provide with it, and the tidiness aod thorough repair of such sr- tioles should be always insisted on. As they set older, girls should always, if possible, have an allowance for their dress and little personal expenses. This is not the cheap- est way of clothing them, for the mother's experience always enables her to lay out the money more profitably than the girl* are able to do, at any rate at first. But to dress the girls economically and pretty is not a mother's only object. She hsa to teach them the value of, and responsibility entail- ed by, money, and lets them bny, at a low rate, and at her oost, the experience they would otherwise purobsse^ar more deariy at their own or rather husband's expense. If properly managed, a girl's allowance will be a capital means of teaching these lessons. KEItnSr. ACCOCNTH. A girl should be given a fair stock of clothes and an aooount book, in which she should be taught to enter every thing she spends and receives. This book should be balanced every quarter when the next al- lowance is given, and strict accuracy in- sisted on. Debt should never be allowed. She should be taught that if a thing can not be afforded, it most be done without till such time as the means of paying for it are in band. Still, in spite of all precau- tions, some girls will get into trouble. If they do, don't soold tnem, so aa to make them bide it next time, whioh woold en- tail worse consequences than even the debt but point eut her fault, pay the debt at once if possible, and hold the girl responsi- ble for it, until by degrees and salf-denisl she has paid it bock to yon. Djn't take a girl's allowance away because she is trouble- some to manage, bnt watch her, and oblige her to be careful, enoonraging her if one really tries ber best, bnt making ber feel the inconveniance and troable caused by extravagances and carelessness. While avoiding frightening a girl from confessing her difficulties by over-severity, don't give way to the opposite extreme, and teach her to think lightly of debt. If she gets to feel that when she exceeds her allowance she has only " to go to papa "or " tell mamma," and coax the required deficit from them, or at wont, subout to a soolding, and so get it, all the good of on allowance is done away. She gets not to mind debt, for will not her father give ber a check if she asks for it prettily at the right moment 7 Or will not mother, after halt an hour's lecture, pay it out of ber own pocket, while the culpntgets of scatbalesa. WBUIE THE MONKV GOES. Strictly kept acoounte should be insisted on. Girls can not too early learn method, and this is ooe very good way of teaching it, beside teaching uem the value of money. Ooe often bears people say, "Oh, what is the good of tboae strict accounts 7 I had so much ia my purse yesterday and now there ia only so much, and all the aooounte in the world won't bring it back." Granted but, if properly kept, they will abow how the money went, and that is sometimes a diffi- culty when one depends on ones receipte for the 'arse, and one's memory for the small items ofene's ezponditara. I heard once of s Isdy who was oonsidarably annoyed by finding herself short of some money. Reckon it how she would she could not oocount for the loss. The house was searched, servants ?|aeatioiiad and a thoroughly uncomfortable eeling produced in the nouaebold, as every one fait tha awney must have goae some- where. The lady waa very partionlar, and, thoagh not keeping regalar acconnta, prid ed herself on her oconraoy aad memory, and keeping all bar reoaipts and hoasekeaping books m splendid order. At last her nus- band insisted on her putting down every jmall sum she could remember, in spite of her protestatiOBS that she had doae this her- self and little by little, with a good deal of troable, she accounted for sotna of the missing change. Eventually the whole sum waa acoountad for by one of bar chil- dren at school writios to thank ber for some â- mall preaaat 'he bad sant and totally for- gottan.

How onr Forests are Used Up. (From the Rocbstter Democrat Our foresU are rapidly going, while at adequate proviaien is beine made to restore then. Tha SUta of New York has a great park full of timber in the northern wilder- ness, but annual firas are making havoc io that region. The great woods ard probably losing mora than thay gain from annual growth. Wood is becoming more scarce and inaccessible every year. In many States the foresto on level ground have mostly dis- appeared, and only remain upon high hills or monntoins, which are not eaaily accessible. The Monitory Tmet tells bow the forests disappear To make shoe pegs enongh for American use consumes annually 100,000 cords of timber, and to make onr lucifer matches, 300,000 cubic feet of the best pine are re- quired every year. Last and boot trees take 500,000 cords of birch, beech, and maple, and the handles of tools "UXI.OOO more. The baking of our bricks consume 2,000,000 cords of wood, or what would cover with foreat about 50,000 acres of land. Telegraph poles already up represent 800,000 trees, and their annual repair consumes about 300,000 more. The ties of our railroads consume annually thirty years' growth of 75,000 acres and to fence all our railroads would east $45,(X)0 000, with a yearly expenditure of 115,000,000 for repairs. In the Northwest there has been a very rapid destruction of the forests, and much soLcitude is felt »a to the future source of timber supply. Straw lumber has been manufactured to Bome extent in Kansas, and is said to answer the purpoae very well. Straw lumber may be the lumber of the future. The refuse straw from the great groin-producing States of the West will be utilized. Instead of raising trees, the land con be devoted to grain, which may be sold, and the straw used for lumber. Coal for fuel and straw for inside finishing may relieve the pressure on the forests and give them a chanoe to grow. #WMi*rta hAra aoiM datHfc roiatiTa ta a aahjaot whioh hai a â- racial iaIerMt for facaatan.

Tha soil was generally very soaaty, often not more than four to six iaohsa tUck, aad ths rcote were spread out at almost right angles to the trunk. In aoma of tha da^orca of the rock there was a black muddy loam poaaibly the remains of decayed roots. Altogether ,SS2 trees were found. Thev varied con- siderably in length and thickness, bnt ap- peared to be of contemporaneoos growth â€" 2*23 were standing upright, and 159 bad fallen. The largest tree wss 4 ft. 8 in. (ac- cording to the latest report 36 in. only) in girth and 46 feet in length this was found Ai its side. Severs! others of equal girth were standing upright, but the upright trees were all broken off near the surface of the blue clay. The trees were standing at dif- ferent levels, the highest being at low water level of spring tid^ while the lowest was 16 ft. below low water level. Some of the forest in the Sundarbans is not much bight r than the low water level of extreme spring tides. Bat this forest evidently hod a char- acter different from the Mangrove aod Snndri Forest on the deep mnd of the Sun- darbans. These trees had grown on rock, or on the ccanty soil overlaying that rock, and the forest probably stood above high watA level. The difference at Bombay between low and high water at extreme spring tide is 16.60 feet, so that the aubai- dence, as indicated by the position of the trees, must have been more than 32 feet. The stamps whioh protruded through the blue clsy into the silt were completely riddled to a short distance into the blue clay, by the perforations of the Teredo na- valis or another similarly destructive ani- mal. Lower down the holes became fewer, and many of the trees, when cat through into the blocks, showed a single hole wind- ing towsrds the roots, and getting large as it approached the foot of the tree. Of the trees found lying down, some must have drifted, as they were without branohes or roote. The large fallen down tree, mea- tioned above, had left a complete cast of iti branches in the blue clay, though the woody matter was gone. Apparently all the trees were of the same kind except two, which it is said looked like teak trees. The wood of the others is de- scribed as fine-grained and dark, like rose- wood. No remains of any kind were found which might have indicated human habitation nor were any shells or other organic objecto dizcovered in the blue clay or the ground underntath it except one oyster-shell which was embedded in some gravel in a crevice of the underlying rock. But it is mentioned that traces of twigs and seeds are noticed, the latter having left impressions of their shapes in the blue clay, a fine film at the outside skin in some casea adhering to the clay. None of the caate were more thao half sn inch wide, but they were found close together, aod in a vertical position. Below the places where these cssts of seeds were traced, it is mentioned that the losm stratum was perforated with holes like rat holes, and that these were filled with very fine clay, nearly as fluid as cream. Some of the holes commenced from the sur- face of the loam, penetrating it for the leogth of a foot others ran in a horizontal direction. The area excavated is about tbiriy acres thus there were, on an average, seven trees per acre sUnding. But in addition to these some of the fallen trees hod probably grown on the spot. The trees were not howcver.equally distributed, but were found grouped in large clusters on a portion onlr of the area. " Liaving to the geologist the further dis- cussion of this moat remarkablj discovery. It will be well here to offer a few remarks which may be of interest to our readers- So much seems clear, that after the land on which the trees grew had subsided below Iwf"' 'JT^^ °' "^y gradually and slowly settled down upon the treei, and toat at a later period a second despoait o~Toft^![tToii3" •""'=•' """ «"â- "'«"« The trees were probably kUled by con- tmued immersion in water. Soon after they .^ i"" kdled, and before the deposit of stiff clay had settled around themTthey were broken, and blown down by winds and waves. From what U sUted in the reporte which have furnished the date for these notes. It would seem that the wood is in no way petrified, but has preserved ito charac- ter in a remarkable manner. It would be well to examine the structure of the wood found, and to compsre it with that of Indian woods of the present day, in order to iden- tify them, and determine whether they belong to families which are extinct, or are still found in India. !a tka •y _«»ba af part ia thia aofkiad,-^ shaathK tkeir aataial eaaariaaoia.

Hitherto the %bnndsnce of natural timber in this country has made it easy to dispense with timber culture, snd for the most part oor land owners have taken little interest in such slow growing crops^v/fhis state of things, however, is rspidly'qiassiag away. The demand for special woods for manufac- turing purposes is steadily and rapidly in- creasing, while the natural supply is dimin- ishing and must ultimately become quite inadequate. Meanwhile there are miliions of acres of acres of laud suitable for timber culture and for nothing else, except poor pasturage, that our land owaen are allowing to !ia waste and idle for lack of a little fore- thooght, and too frequently our would-be thrifty farmers will risk their surplus means in wild-cat speculations, promising but never yielding large and speedy returns, when the ssme money spent in planting timber woold soon convert their -worthless swamps and stony plsces into valuable pro- pa rtiea. A oorrespondent tells of a piece of land that was planted with walnut twenty-three yean ago. This land was flooded every spring and summer, and was unfit for any ordinary oaltivation. The trees are now fiom sixteen to twenty inches through, and h.ve been sold for f27,000. No particulars are given as to the oost of planting the grove or the amount of attention it kasnad during the years of growth. There can be little doubt however, that tba investment was small in comparison with the retam, and the land would have otherwiae ramained en- tirely unproductive; to the ca-traiy, the tiaiber crop was ao muoh clear gain.

It hss doMSO already, and will do still more as it goes on. In the meantime, however, would it not be well if men, and especially young men, were not quite eo cocky, aod not quite so patrouiaing in their way of conducting the discussion Women are fully one half of the race, and with all rev- erence, be it spoken, are not abeolutely the private personal properly of the other half. They fully contribute their share to making the world what it is, and are not to be treat- ed as if they were either snpernumeries or paupers. Ihe H3v. Knox Little, no doubt tells them that the sum and substance of their duty is to obey their husbands when they have such, and, we suppose, their pas- tors and spirittial advisera when they bap- pen to be either spinsters or widows. Bot Mr. Little is not Solomon, and bnt a very small fraction of the sisterhood will be in- clined to toke the law at hi* lips. In the meantime, it is settled beyond all controversy that women, as a whole, are not so stupid nor so useless as some would imagine. And that to a great extent as they are, so is the society in which they live. Stupid, illiter- ate mothers, make stupid il'iterate sons, and sisten whose chief duty it is to worship, coddle and obey- their brothera, generally make the objeote of their idolatory, soft, •elfish, conceited milksops for their pains. That there are ' particular spheres for women's activity and energy is, we think beyond all controversy, but it is equally evident that men bave frequently invaded these and supplanted the rightful ocoupante. We don't believ.: that education, even of the highest kind, if it be really what it is called, wUl unfit women for occupying tbeir particular places in the humsn econ- omy. On the contrary, it will make them more efficient In the meantime let it be kept steadily in view that women are an in- tegral part of the race, and that it is but raosonaole that they should bave some efficient voice iu making all those social ed- ucational and other arrangemente from which their whole futures have to take tbeir oast colour and character. It is a matter for conference and consultotion among all concerned, aot for a man to settle of bis own mere matter of course. We shoald not like to see women believe that it would be in accordance with the fitness of thing* that she should serve before the mast, shoe horses, or tramp to the wars. But there are surely a great many things which she might very properly do which she has not yet been allowed to attempt, and there is nothing absurd in imagining her taking a loving intelligent interest in everything coa- nected with her own and the world's des- tiny, and I be not the less able to cook a dinner, darn a stocking, sweep a room, or nurse a baby as occasion may require. Even ss things are, ' our girls ' are not such use- less, thoughtless trifien as many would seem to imagine, thoagh even if they were, who is to bUme but the men, who may possibly be frightened that if women get too intelli- gent, the nakedness of tbeir own intellect- ual territories would the more strikingly and distresam^ly appear, and their long claimed superiority, would be seen to be an impudent aasumption and an exploded myth. t!mf«HSd^S^!tSfir pfantiiHiiae ia Perth, ahita.

The forest is in perfect health, and when it c. mea to I e cut down wUI no dunot yield a moat proiitab'a return. Only a very inadequato idea of the value of the wood on the Lynedoch r iptirty can here le given, and it is probal)le that during the lifetime of tbe lato Lord Lyne- doch it was even more valuable thaii at pre- ssnt, aa a large tract of valuable old timl^er was cut down before Lord Macsflsld pur. chased the property. Indeed, for 10 yc rs previous to Lord Mansfield securinc t.ie property Lord Lyoeiosh and nis representa- tives were making sad havoc amongst tha woods, catting down timber to the value of about £5,000 per annum daring the entire dacade.

K"^} ""'I" "«hts of tKne N'otwitbstoading this wholesale destruo- tion, the estimsted value of tbe wood by the expdser was ss high st £52,000. The Earl of Mansfield has been at enormous ex- pense in re-foresting the plantations which were so ruthlessly despoiled. An almost incalculable quantity of young trees, chiefly Scotch fir, have been trained and Ranted, snd now many thriving young plantationa occupy the ground rendeKd vacant by the the deapoiler. In tbe neighboarbood of Logie manaioa house there is a large extent of hoe old tim- ber, consisting of beech, plain oak and larch. There is also a splecdid avenue of Walnut trees, and several gigantic ailver firs. Some of the p'ane treei are rrmirka- bly Urge. One of them contained 300 cubic feet of timber when Lord Manafield acquire- ed the property. The tree ia atill very healthy, and now ocntains about S.'SO cubic feet of good timber. Along the bank* of the Almond are some very fine Weymonth pines. At the old maiu approach to Logie noure there is a magnificent avenue of lime and beech trees. In every respect it is per- haps the finest in Perthshire. It is fully a quarter of a mile in length, â€" ia very wida^ the trees are ^ed, and of large dimenaiona, while the foliage naohe* almoat to tbe ground. It pretents altogether a grand sight, aod one npjn which the noble pro- prietor may look with no small pride. .* Ithough the plantations on the property ui e Earl cf Manstield extond to about 0,000 acres. Almost tbe whole of this vast forest occupies grouud tbat would otherwise be unprofitable, and an eyesore in the land- scape. Some idea cf tbe extent of planting inreont vear* may be gathered from tbe fact that for many years aftor Mr. M'Cor- quodale bsoame f jsester he planted from 300,000 to 900 000 trees every year. PiOMediag along the walk at the top of the cUff sk-rting the beaks of the Almond, near the historical wood of Melhvea, we suddenly meet with a menstor beech, rank- me ainsaiist the largest in the oonntry.
