DISTRIBUTION OF PUBLIcK LANDS. The
House then resumed the consideration Of
the resolution offered by Mr.. Hunt, relative
to the distribution of the proceeds of the
Publick Lands, when, after modification
by the mover referring the subject to Sc
lect Committee, Mr.. Speight of North Car
olina, briefly addressed the House.
The question was then taken on the gen.
eral subject of distribution, and carried in
the affirmative by vote of ll3 to 20. A
demand was then made for division of the
remaining propositions, so as to take vote
on the purpose" Education and Inter-
nal Improvement distinct from the ratio.'
Mr.. Taylor, of N. Y. then demanded d.
vision. so as to seperate the objects. He
was willing to vote for the distribution for
the purposes of Education, but not for Inter-
nal Improvement. The residue of the res
olution was thus divided into three distinct
questions, but before any question was TAX
en- the House adjourned.

HALLS LECTURES ON SCHOOL-KEEPING.
This little volume comprises thirteen
lectures delivered by the author before an
Institution of which he has the charge,
for the education of Teachers. As schools
of this character are much wanting in our
country, Mr.. H. intended his book should,
in some measure, supply the deficiency ;
that those preparing for the business Of
instruction, and those already engaged in
our common schools, may study the rules
and hints it contains, and carry them into
practice, if none are found better. II
cannot fail Of being very valuable and
useful assistant to such as have the care
Of our common English Grammar Schools.
II canno. be denied that our Free Schools,
of which we boast so much, and upon
which our character for intelligence SO
much depends, are too often under the
management of those who are totally unfit
for the employment. How frequently do
we find those who have graduated at a
distant school with the Rule Of Three in
their heads by rote, after following the
Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Mass.) 1828-1830, 1830-01-26

plough in the Spring, lording it over
village school the next winter, without any
knowledge of their business. With such
school discipline must, of course, be mere
guess work, and any thing like system, a
thing Of the first importance in good
school, is entirely out of the question. 1t
seems to have been taken for granted
that person could keep school, if he
could not do any thing else that the
knowledge requisite to manage boys was
intuitive, or one of our Unborn principles.
Hence, those who have been disappointed
in success in other pursuits from want Of
ability or what not, have generally had
recourse to school-keeping, as last resort.
Now, here lies the great mistake. 1t by
no means follows that those who cannot
thrive in any other business can do SO in
teaching, for it requires greater combi-
nation of requisites and good qualities
than almost any other business whatever.
We agree perfectly with Mr.. H, in his re-
marks upon the qualifications necessary
for our common schools, and manfully
sympathize with him in the consequences
resulting from the incapacity and de6cien.
cy of teachers.
These Lectures are the result of expe-
rience, and We are very glad to see so ma
ny useful rules and habits embodied in
this form. Besides his rules for what he
thinks the best manner of governing
school, the author has thrown in here and
there'some very useful and philosophical
directions fw pursuing certain branches,
such as Arithmetick, Composition, and
Geography, the last Of which he has been
accustomed to teach upon quite a new
plan, that is, by beginning with the Town
in which the boy resides, then going thro'
the County, then the State, and so on, till
he has mastered all the States, when he
can proceed yet farther. We are some
what surprised that while he urges very
strongly upon Teachers the importance of
Composition, he should have passed over
Defamation. If either of these is to be
taught in common schools, we should give
the preference to the latter, as business
men have generally more need of courage
to speak well in town-meeting or pub !
lick assembly than to write elegantly.
We strongly recommend Mr.. Halls
Lectures to those who have the charge of
our common schools, and let them not be |
disappointed, unless their scholars arc al
most immaculate, If some of his hints
should be found rather speculative than
practical. If they study them faithfully
they cannot fail Of being great help, and
in most respects. an unerring guide in
their labou-s. The book ought to be in
the hands of every schoolmastef in our
villages. A.

TUESDAY MORNING. JAN. 90. 1880.

BosToN PosT-OFFIcE. we have here
tofore spoken in terms of praise OF the
punctuality and diligence Of the new head
of the Post-O Office, in Boston but we are
net certain that we were not too early. AT
any rate, we have now. and for sometime
past have had, cause to complain OF the
irregularity with which we receive our
papers. Those from Boston do not reach
us half the time, the day they are printed,
and they frequently miscarry altogether
This is abominable, Mr.. Postmaster Green,
or Mr.. Anybody-else who is to blame.
But we choose to censure the Postmaster.
as he is the responsible head, and as we
believe the printers are usually IN season.
Irregularity may be very beautiful IN ma
ture, and doubtless is so but an irregu-
lar and picturesque post-office establish
ment is outrageous. MI. Postmaster, look
you to this.

tended to render instructors more indiffer-
ent, and parents and superintendents of sem
inaries less earnest in their endeavours to
make youth as perfect as possible in their
acquaintance with those branches. On the
other hand, the youth themselves being very
often specifically educated, and so not at
tanning ready command of the ancient
languages, were not qualified to realize the
benefits to be derived from their acquisition,
and thus, naturally concluding the fruit to
be of little worth, which, after considerable
labour, they were not able themselves to
reach, through Incidence, or pride, or des-
pair, became converts to the prevailing
prejudice. 1t seems, therefore, to be the
unquestionable duty of all those who are
deeply impressed with the Importance of
classical learning, as the only solid basis of
education, to set themselves earnestly and
efficiently to endeavour to introduce as
great thoroughness of instruction as possible
in those studies, placing the standard as
high as the dubious state of publick opinion
will bear; and for this purpose encouraging
every institution of learning under their in
fuence to rest its reputation upon the depth,
extent, and quality of the acquisitions Of the
youth instructed in it, and not at all on the
comparative numbers it may matriculate or
graduate. ID.

PROMOTION OF TEMPERANCE. We
understand that a meeting was held at
Sterling on Wednesday the l3th inst. Of
the Society for Mutual Improvement, at
which an interesting lecture was deliver
ed on the subject Contemporaries.
Immediately after, at meeting of about
three hundred citizens Of that town, the
following resolutions were voted unani-
mously.
Resolved, that we view with appreciation
the exertions made at the present day for
the promotion oftemperance and consider it
our duty to unite our efforts in this good
cause.
RESOLVED, therefore, that while we would
not dictate the course to be pursued by 9TH
ers, we will set an uniform example our
selves, and that we will no longer consider
ardent spirits as mark of hospitality nee
essary to be offered in social parties at flu
nerals or at publick meetings for civil or
military purposes.

FACT AND Fancy. We feel that there
is so much truth in the following off-hand
paragraph from the N. Y. Enquirer that
we give it to our readers. In misery it
must be confessed that the fall from fancy
to fact, from Imagination to the dull re-
alities is one of the saddest things in life,
and he who will not cherish his first loves,
while he can, and as long as he can, is
quite too material for our taste and alien
from our sympathies.
When man who has been engrossed
in politicks looks back to the comparas
tive tri1es in which he has chiefly stirred
and the zeal he has felt for the success of
an unimportant man, or unimportant
measure. he generally takes unto himself
shame and confusion of face, and wonders
how it was possible that such little things
could sway and control the whole uni

BEATRICE, TALE FOUNDED ON FAcTs.
By Mrs. HoHand. This is the title of a
new novel which some unseen hand placed
on the editorial desk for perusal and forma-
ton of opinion. These booksellers are the
cleverest fellows in the universe. Novel
after novel-history after history-tale after
tale they pour upon us like an inundation of
bonSbons. What pity it is that we cannot
tumble back into that delightful period on
the inner edge of manhood, when every
tale of fiction was devoured with the smack
that attends the disappearance of canvass
back before the modern gourmand. Poll
ticks make a sad inroad upon fancy. The
rude contests of the world disturb the clear
stream of sentiment. The time was when
siesta on the sofa with Gonsalvo of Cordo-
va-Guy Mannering-the Sorrows of Wer-
ter-the Lay of the last Minstrel, or the La
dy of the Lake, was felt and considered the
very essence ofdelight. Every one passes
once over in his life the torrid zone of mag
ination-but he seldom returns.
