and it is fitted to awaken the deepest in terest " the proper study of mankind 13 man the benefits of this study are numerous 1 it serves to strengthen expand and elevate the mind and prepare it for the pursuit of aii knowledge knowledge is gained by mental effort and this effort is constantly fitting the mind for still high er attainments 0 other study can do this more successfully than that of mind itself 2 mental philosophy is the basis of self-knowledge it is the sudy of our na ture necessities and capacities it makes us acquainted with ourselves ; for it is the study of our thoughts feelings and con duct in the various relations we sustain 3 we ihus learn to discipline our minds and to direct them into right courses aud to useful ends in all efforts for self im provement we have occasion forjust views ol philosophy of mind we must neces sarily be acting upon principles either of true or false philosophy at every step in self education 4 our knowledge of others will be in proportion to our skill in mental philoso phy ; which is but another name for a knowledge of human nature this knowledge is sometimes gained by the study of men in the intercourse of life ; but there is need of instruction in this as in every other science it is a profound science ; and books teachers and direct efforts are as necessary in this as in any science which claims our attention 5 this knowledge is of vast importance to the teacher he has need ofthe most thorough acquaintance wiih mind both in teaching and governing the young this is true of the teacher in every de partment ; whether it be in the family cir cle the common school the academy or high school the college or professional seminary or the sanctuary all who in any relation or station attempt to teach and influence others need a knowledge of mind 0 equally important is a knowledge ofthe mind in conversation writing for the press in public speaking in the prac tice ofthe law and medicine ; in mercan tile and commercial pursuits in the stu dy of history and languages ; in framing and administering human governments in all efforts for reforming the manners or morals of men in political action and political economy it is useful in paint ing and sculpture and in all the efforts of genius and the creations of imagina tion in every art 7 the study ofthe human mind is pe culiarly fitted to lead us to the study of the divine mind the more we know of ourselves the more shall we feel our need of the knowledge ol god ; and no other created object can give us higher ideas of wisdom power and benevolence than the human mind its faithful study in connection with the truths of the bible is needed to qualify us for his presence and service and for the intercourse ofall holy and intelligent beings state of hortli caroltua cabarrus county court of pleas and qaarter sessions — janu ary sesssions 1848 j s linker 1 attaclnnent levied on defendants i / interest in lhe lauds of daniel bost solomon bost ) deceased it appearing to tin satisfaction of the court that the defendant lias removed beyond the limits of the state : it is therefore ordered by the court that publication be made for six weeks in the carolina watchman publish ed in salisbury n c notifying the said defendant to be and appear at the next court of pleas and quarter s s sions lobe held for the county of cabarrus at the court house it concord on the third monday in april next then and there plead or demur otherwise an order ot sale will be made witness r vv foard clerk of our said court at of fice the 3d monday in january a d 1848 and in the 72d year of american independence r w foard c c c c 1 gw41 printers fee 5 50 a card dns rice & boyden have associated themselves in the practice of medicine at 01.d-h11.l and hold themselves in readiness for professional calls gold-hi mat 6th 1517 | domestic education of females by rev e ii winslow the greatest danger to female at the pres ent time is the neglect of domestic education j not only lo themselves but to husbands fami lies and the community at large does this dan i ger impend by fur the greatest amount of j happiness in civilized life is found in the domes i tic relations and most of this depends on the domestic culture and habits of lhe wife and i mother let her be intellectually educated as highly as possible ;

and it is fitted to awaken the deepest in terest " the proper study of mankind 13 man the benefits of this study are numerous 1 it serves to strengthen expand and elevate the mind and prepare it for the pursuit of aii knowledge knowledge is gained by mental effort and this effort is constantly fitting the mind for still high er attainments 0 other study can do this more successfully than that of mind itself 2 mental philosophy is the basis of self-knowledge it is the sudy of our na ture necessities and capacities it makes us acquainted with ourselves ; for it is the study of our thoughts feelings and con duct in the various relations we sustain 3 we ihus learn to discipline our minds and to direct them into right courses aud to useful ends in all efforts for self im provement we have occasion forjust views ol philosophy of mind we must neces sarily be acting upon principles either of true or false philosophy at every step in self education 4 our knowledge of others will be in proportion to our skill in mental philoso phy ; which is but another name for a knowledge of human nature this knowledge is sometimes gained by the study of men in the intercourse of life ; but there is need of instruction in this as in every other science it is a profound science ; and books teachers and direct efforts are as necessary in this as in any science which claims our attention 5 this knowledge is of vast importance to the teacher he has need ofthe most thorough acquaintance wiih mind both in teaching and governing the young this is true of the teacher in every de partment ; whether it be in the family cir cle the common school the academy or high school the college or professional seminary or the sanctuary all who in any relation or station attempt to teach and influence others need a knowledge of mind 0 equally important is a knowledge ofthe mind in conversation writing for the press in public speaking in the prac tice ofthe law and medicine ; in mercan tile and commercial pursuits in the stu dy of history and languages ; in framing and administering human governments in all efforts for reforming the manners or morals of men in political action and political economy it is useful in paint ing and sculpture and in all the efforts of genius and the creations of imagina tion in every art 7 the study ofthe human mind is pe culiarly fitted to lead us to the study of the divine mind the more we know of ourselves the more shall we feel our need of the knowledge ol god ; and no other created object can give us higher ideas of wisdom power and benevolence than the human mind its faithful study in connection with the truths of the bible is needed to qualify us for his presence and service and for the intercourse ofall holy and intelligent beings state of hortli caroltua cabarrus county court of pleas and qaarter sessions — janu ary sesssions 1848 j s linker 1 attaclnnent levied on defendants i / interest in lhe lauds of daniel bost solomon bost ) deceased it appearing to tin satisfaction of the court that the defendant lias removed beyond the limits of the state : it is therefore ordered by the court that publication be made for six weeks in the carolina watchman publish ed in salisbury n c notifying the said defendant to be and appear at the next court of pleas and quarter s s sions lobe held for the county of cabarrus at the court house it concord on the third monday in april next then and there plead or demur otherwise an order ot sale will be made witness r vv foard clerk of our said court at of fice the 3d monday in january a d 1848 and in the 72d year of american independence r w foard c c c c 1 gw41 printers fee 5 50 a card dns rice & boyden have associated themselves in the practice of medicine at 01.d-h11.l and hold themselves in readiness for professional calls gold-hi mat 6th 1517 | domestic education of females by rev e ii winslow the greatest danger to female at the pres ent time is the neglect of domestic education j not only lo themselves but to husbands fami lies and the community at large does this dan i ger impend by fur the greatest amount of j happiness in civilized life is found in the domes i tic relations and most of this depends on the domestic culture and habits of lhe wife and i mother let her be intellectually educated as highly as possible ;
