From the Connecticut Observer.
MORRIS ACADAMY.

LITcHFIELD (SourH FARMs) Gown.
The establishment of an elementary School
to be conducted on the Pestalozzian system
of instruction applied to the genius of the
young mind, is, in Connecticut a proceeding
somew hat Notwithstanding that there are
individuals among us who are turning their
attention to the great and enobling employ
ment of instructing-not men, but children.
The individual. through whose exertions
the institution above named, has risen to its
present standing, is Mr.. JAMES D. CHAPMAN,
A. b. graduate of Yale College. Though
the period of his labOrs in connection with
the institution, has been limited to little more
than twelve months. yet he has already Sc
cured degree Of patronage highly credita-
bic to his character as an instructor. The
school, though not large, is at present in
hourishing state-and deserves the attention
of every friend of improvement. The wri-
ter ct this article having recently visited, and
acquainted himself with the plans of Mr..
G. is much prepossessed in favor of the in
stitutiOn under his superintendent.
The system of instruction is he Pestaloz-
Zian--cOmbined with the Monit0rial. The
course of the pupil is slow but sure: he de-
Ponds upon his own mental powers for the
solution of the questions the instructor on
~, in case Of difficulty, removing the obsta-
Giles which prevent him from solution, by ia
milar illustrations, and questions, which pre-
pare him to arrive at the just conclusion, by
his own introductions- Address is, in this
way made entirely to the reasoning powers.
These rigorous habits Of thinking and rea-
sooning, prepares the pupil for correct dis
charge of the varied duties and transactions
OF human existancc. instruction is thus
preparatory to the wants and situations of
practical life And this is the peculiar excel
lence OF the Pestalozzian method. II is proc-
tlcaL, thorough, interesting.
The scholars are required 10 explain, and
10 instruct. 10 this respect the plan is Mon
ltorIai.--They explain to the instructor, and
to each other, what he has previously explain
ed 10 them. This gives them Just concep-
tons accurate hahits of thought and expires.

THE BETROTHED GREEK.

Among the interesting sketches in letters from
The Levant published in the New Monthly Ma
game is the following tale of the fate of two I'M
fortunate Grecian lovers. 1t has all the interest
Of fiction added to the thrilling conviction of its
truth, and that it is but true picture of the
wrctched condition Of that unhappy people with
whom no resting place is found even tor the en-
loyment of the dearest and most halloWed atfec
lions, or for the purity OF virS in innocence This
IS but one of the thousand instances of trcachc-
~, barbarity, and the severance of all human
ties that mark with blood and devastation the
course of the ruthless Turk as he tramples on
one of the fairest portions Of creation; once the
sanctuary Of all that was great heroic, intellec
tuai and lovely Providence .Ntcrocosn
"A few days after our arrival we were invited
TO dine with Greek merchant, with whom the
young Sclote lady, who accompanied US to

was situated in one Of the best streets in the
Frank quarter, with spacious rooms, and a sha-

Our entertainer had been married to a lady,

a son and two daughters. The former had been,
at the commencement of the Greek revolution,
engaged in business with his father; but his ar
dent patriotism having induced him to take an
active, though concealed, part in forwarding the
efforts of his countrymen, he was denounced to
the Pasha of Smyrna, by one Of his companions
who had been detected, but whose fortitude
could not withstand the fortunes which were APP
piled to wiring from him the secret of his asso-

by one were extracted, and the nails, slowly
torn from his toes and fingers, he delivered up
the names Of his accomplices, in order to pur
chase speedy death in lieu Of the aSoncs he
was enduring. Young Lallaho had, however.
sufficient time to make his escape, and flying to
the mountains above Karabornon, he lay con
cealed, till, reaching British vessel in the
straits of Sclo, he was landed at the Ionian
Islands, and had thence reached the Morea, and
openly espoused the cause of the struggling in

since his flight and. with the exception of vague
rumors, no news Of his situation and fortunes
