PLEASURES OF CoUNTRY School KEEP
ING. But few of0ur readers are acquaint-
ed with country school-keeping, as it is gem
orally practised in the villages and by-ways
of our land, where children are taught by
the reckoning of the ferfule, or the whiz-
zing of the switch. Few are acquainted
with the downright clever country school
master-the great man of the district, to
whom the old men look up with wonder,
and the young with awe. Few know the
the open hearted, generous manner in which
he is treated by the farmers of the districts.
Did you ever 60 to country party, and see
the boys and gals' seated round a roaring
fire, in the two sides of the huge place
watching intensely every motion of the
"master" and not daring to open their
mouths till he had broke the silence, either
by talking about the weather. or by propose
ing to play button? Did you never play
button yourself-and hear the "gals' iude-
ing each other all round to i" kiss the mas
ter, kiss the MASTER" Have you not seen
the eyes Of a handsome, hearty, healthy one,
sparkling outright when the master chose
her in the play Of Flanders while marching
round the room to the tune of-chase yer
tru LIv n0io-er-never-h fingers entwined
with his, and her heart beating as if it
would bang through her side !? Have You
never watched the motions Of the bell of
the district, when she was called forth to
dance French four, a long reel, or shut
tle-how she would trip over the sanded
floor to the sound of three-stringed
fiddle. with quick step, and more
brilliant eye-her head reclining on
her shoulders, and her whole countenance
beaming with pleasure-and all for why
her partner was the schoolmdster!
By-and-by, too, as the evening advances,
when the apples are placed in corner, and
the cider is sizzling at the edge of the
hearth, all the chances, the ogglings, or as
they call 'em there, the sleeps eyes, are
thrown upon the man ofthe ferrule from ev-
cry side. Then comes the swapping of APP
ple-seed; and happy is he of the birch ifhe
escapes the invisible shot. He now begins
to throw off his dignity, and to mingle with
the rest in the chit-chat of the place to
talk of ,sleigh-rides, huskings, &c.-parties
held in by gone days; of the counting sto-
ries that are flying over hill and valley
likes neighbour this or that's daughter,
mayhap, or is going to be married to some
body or other-guess who? When the
time for going home has arrived, then his
true dignity and worth appear. From the
crowd Of girls who are hurrying out and
slyly peeping over their shoulders for some-
body to 60 home with them, and the crowd
of boys looking for partners, he is seen
marching slowly and gravely apart. Who
shall be waited upon by him is the inward,
anxious question of every one-and proud,
indeed is she who marches home under the
guidance of the master she remembers it
for months, yea, for years, and looks back
upon it always with swell of the heart.

MICHIGAN. The second Session of the
third Legislative Council of the Territory
of Michigan, convened at Detroit, on the
9Th inst. At twelve o'clock on that day
Gov. LEWIS CAss, communicated to the
Council his annual Message, which we deem
Of sufficient Importance to republish.
1t will be seen that the time is at hand
when this Territory will claim admission in
to the union as an independent State, and at
the next Presidential contest, the State Of
Michigan will have a voice in re-electing
our present chief magistrate. Michigan
owes much Of its prosperity to the talents
industry, and practical good sense of Gov
Cass. During the sixteen years that he has
administered its government, he has given
universal satisfaction to the inhabitants, and
by keeping aloof from the partizan politicks
of the day, has exerted his influence with
each succeeding administration in procur-
ing for Michigan liberal appropriations from
the United States Treasury, for opening
roads and making other internal improve
ments, which have so rapidly brought for
ward that Territory TO position in which
it can claim admission into the Union.-Ibid.

IRE CATHoLICK CHURCH. Who would

grlms have done, if they could have looked
into the futurity Of two centuries The

found. We lifted our eyes in amazemcnt

to learn that in Connecticut, the very citadel
OF stern Professionalism, such thing should
have dared to show itself. But with vet

GENTLY recovered from our surprise to form
any speculation on the subject so that we
can only notify our readers of the fact, that
they may be preparing for whatever shall
follow.
Seriously, however, it is evident that the
Romanish Church is making great exertons
to extend its influence through this country,
and it may soon become question of some
Importance, whether the divisions and strug-
giles of the various sects of Protestants do
not afford to the Papal Sect facilities for the
execution of its purposes, by which, if it be
faithful to the character it has ever borne,
it will not be slow to profit Christian Reg.

CHARACTERS OF PUB11oK MEN. A,lono

CHARACTERS OF PUBLIcK MEN. As long
ago as January 1928, writer in the Nation
al Philanthropist, then published in this city,
seems to have fOreseen some of the evils
now experienced in this quarter by the ele-
vation to responsible stations of men desti-
tute of political integrity or moral worth.
The following are some of his remarks on
the subject :-Evening Bulletin.
One Of the greatest evils prevailing in our
land is the influence which men of bad NOR
ais are permitted to obtain in our politicql
affairs. On every side, in every party, some
of the most prominent leaders are men whose
moral principles and habits ought to exclude
them from publick confidence. This NAV
be termed bold charge; but let any man
look around in the circle of his own obser-
walton, and see if it not be literally true.
There seems to exist a class of individuals
who have little other business than to cry up
and cry down this or that candidate for of.
fee who are ever on the watch for private
scandal or publick mistake, land ready to take
any course, or make any assertion, that may
subserve the particular interest they espouse.
Is useful suggestion advanced by some
one too modest to proclaim it at the corner
of the streets? 1t is Immediately seized up
on by some Of these partizans, and made
subservient to selfish and private purposes.
Is worthy name announced for some dis
tingushed Office in the government /? A
host ofthese meddlers, scrawlers and Draw
lers, gallop forth to assume the charge Of
the nomination, and commence war upon
the characters Of all who prefer another.
Each ofthe candidates is taken into thekeep-
ing ola portion of these noisy partizans false
hoods the most foul are invented concern
ing each, deeds the most attrocious are charg-
ed upon his opponent; and personal unkind-
ness and quarrels are frequently excited
through the agency ofthe calumniators, be-
tween men who had for years before felt
towards each other naught but respect and
good will. When the election is over, the
partisans Of the successful candidate throng
around him, brazen-faced and trumpet
tongued, to claim the rewards of their dis
graceful service. While the unobtrusive
friends, who had candidly weighed the mer-
its of the respective competitors for publick
honour, and had sought to enlighten pub
lick sentiment by the exhibition of facts.
and shewn their Partially only by their
votes-these are regarded and represented
as mere eGnaillc, unqualified for publick en-
ployment and undeserving Of confidence.
1t is time that this state Of things should
be broughtto close. 1t is time that the
standard Of political morality should be ell
evated to height correspondent to that Of
our social intercourse. II is due TO our
principles, our civil social and moral institu-
tons, that men whose characters are notori
ously bad should be deprived Of the con.rci
of our political destinies.

WHEN IS MAN Rich ENoueH
When lad, an old gentleman took the
trouble to teach me some little knowledge
of the world. With this view, / remember
he one day asked me, when is man rich
enough? Ireplied, when he has thousand
pounds. He replied, No. Two thousand
No. Ten thousand =? No. A hundred
thousand? which l thought would end the
business but he still continued to say, No.
gave it up and confessed could not tell,
but begged he would inform me. He grave
ly said tOhen he has a little more than he has,
and that is NEVER! If he acquires one
thousand, he wishes to have two thousand f;
then five, then ten, then twenty, then fifty
and from that his riches would amount 20
an hundred thousand, and so on, till he had
grasped the whole world; after which, he
would look about him like Alexander, for
other worlds to possess.

same as at home. You are well off who are
not bothered with these things in London ;
it is the only place in Britain where pride

On Saturday last, a young man, from Mas

passenger in canal boat and stopped at a
tavern in Oriskany being unwell he went
to physician and procured half an ounce of

took part of it, but not finding relief, he
swallowed the remainder which was the
cause of his death. He had about 20 dol

STATUE OF WASHINGTON. The colossal
statue intended to surmount the column
raised to the memory of the Father of his
country, in this city, is now completed. 1t
is said to be executed in the best style of
the accomplished artist, Causici, and weighs
about IA tons. 1t will be seen by notice
in to-day's paper, that proposals will be re-
ceived by the artist, until the 18th inst. for
placing this statue in its destined position
