TO THE FRIENDS OF POPULAR EDU
CATION IN MASSACHUSETTS.

A new mode of association for improvement
in knowledge, has been introduced into New
England, denominated the .4merscGR Lyecum.
This plan has been well received, and a desire
for obtaining a more perfect understanding OF
it, is extensively awakened. To promote this
object, meeting was held at the State House,
in Boston, on the evening Of February 9th
consisting of members Of the Legislature and
others After free discussion, a committee
was chosen to take suitable measures for col
lecting information on the subject, preparatory
to similar public meeting, in this city, the en-
suing winter. That committee consists OF three
persons of Suffolk county, and ono of each of
the other counties in the Commonwealth.
That committee, in compliance with the re-
quest of the meeting, solicit attention to the
following Circular. They will take the liberty
to make few statements in the first place, ard
then name several principal inquiries to which
they desire to have answers returned.
4Eyceum is a voluntary association OF per-
sons in the same town, who have the same OBJ
jects of inquiry or investigation to pursue
The members may be persons of any class or
age in the community but usually they are
the more advanced pupils in schools, young and
middle aged men who have left the schools,
teachers Of common and Sabbath schools, and
all those persons whose employmonts or lncll-
nations give them an interest in the discussions
&c Oc)ectS 81 inquiry are, most frequently,
the various sciences and their application to
the useful arts although literary pursuits
have been sometimes introduced, and the plan
of association may be applied to any subject
whatever. The exercises and operations OF the
Lyceum proceed very much in tho way Of
mutual instruction. The members meet at
stated times, study together, inquire of each
other, converse, debate, and thus communicate
tho light they have separately received, and
elicit more. They sometimes have courses Of
lectures, either hired, or given gratuitously by
gentlemen Of education in the town. Or lee
lures are given by the members and learners
themselves, in succession, each in the depart
ment with which he is best acquainted, or to
which he wishes to devote peculiar attention
1t is considered indispensable to the lectures,
and indeed, to most Of tho operations Of the
Lyceum, that it DO supplied with cheap and
simple, but very useful apparatus, for the vari.
Gus Illustrations and some have begun to col
lect libraries, adapted to their pursuits, with
specimens Of minerals, plants, &c.
The number Of places where Lycoums have
been formed cannot BIO stated with precision
but they are frequent in several portions OF
Massachusetts, and other States of N. England
The, APPRECIATION with which they are received
is strong and decisive: and those who have
tried them, wish to continue and extend them

THE CHILD'S INQUIRY.

GLOW big was Alexander. Pa,
That people call him great?
Was he like old Goliah, tall
His spear hundred weight
Was he so large that he could stand
Like some tall steeple high;
And while his feet was on the ground,
His hands could touch the sky"
40 no, my child: about as large
AS l, or uncle James.
Twas not his statue made him great;
But greatness of his name
His name SO great know It's long
But easy quite to spell
And more than halt year ago
knew it very WE'LL
al mean, my child, his actions were
So great, he got name,
That every body speaks with praise,
And tell about his fame
dwell, what great actions did he do?
want to know it ALL
"Why, he it was that conquered Tyre,
And levelled down her wall:
And thousands of her people slew
And then to Persia went
And fire and sword on every side
Through many region sent.
A hundred conquered cities shone
With midnight burnings red
And, strewed DER many battle ground,
A thousand soldiers bled."
"Did killing people make him great
Then why was Abel Young,
Who killed his neighbor, training day,
Put into Jail and hung
/ never heard them call him great
"Whv, no-'twas not in war
And him that kills single man,
His neighbors all abhor."
"Well, then, if should kill man,
I'd kill hundred more =
/ should be great, and not get hung
Like Abel Young before"
{" Not so, my child, twill never do =
The gospel bids be kind
"Then they that kill, and they that praise
The gospel do not mind"
"You know, my child, the Bible says,
That you must always do
To other people, rs you wish
To have them do to YOU"
"But, Pa, did Alexander wish
That some strong men would come
And burn his house, and kill him too,
And do as he had done
And every body called him great
For killing people so =
Well, now, what right he had to kill,
should be glad to know.
If one should burn the buildings here,
And kill the folks within
Would any body call him great,
For such wicked thing ?"

OLp FEArnERs BETTER THAN NEW. If the
feathers of old beds have become dirty, matted,
or have lost their elacticity, by age or use, they
should be emptied into a hogshead and washed
in warm soap suds, agitated by means of a rake
or garden hoe, and afterwards wrcnched in
clear water. They are then to be pressed dry
by the hand, and put upon the floor of an empty
well lighted room, and now and then whipped
and stirred up; and whom thoroughly dry put
again into ticks. They will be found after this
better than ne,o feathers, because deprived Of

GENERAL SUMMARY.

A southern editor observes the Williamstown Ad-
vocate) says that the reason why the dogs who bark
ed loudly Mt the late administration are silent now,
is, they have each got bone in his mouh--and no
dog can bark when his mouth is full. We think the
big dog Duff Green is exceptional he cannot bark
at his enemies, he will turn round and growl at his
friends.

Worthy Act.-The I'd Flank Company in the 10th
Regiment, commanded 10y Silas Humphrey, of Goshen,
has come forward to aid in conquerng its enemy, and
the greatest enemy Of mankind, Intemperance. After
the usual exercises of the day the 9TH inst the Capt
remarked to the men belonging to his company that
they would have opportunity Of forming themselves
into Temperance Society, whereby they should
entirely abstain from tho Of ardent Spirits and
that he willing to become member. He briefly
stated that person who was acquainted with his
past conduct would accuse him Of acting from any
sinister views; he induced to this course from
knowledge that free of ardent spirits was an in.
jury to soldiers, whilst it confirmed habits which DIES.
troy their usefulness in this life, and render them
prepared for future.
Immediately after the duties Of the day, articles Of
association were drawn whereby the members agreed
10 abstain from the Of spurious liquor Having
become organized by selecting the officers the So
ce.y fo the year, they separated without that noise
and confusion which too frequently attends the dis
persion Of our company trainings. The high standing
which this company has maintained in regiment
it regards military tactics combined with their late
measures in uniting with the benevolent Of our land
in destroying its formidable enemy, is convincing
proof that they who can be among the first in war.
will be among the first in peace.
