There are duties in the profession 10 which
men of very humble abilities are equal, and
which men of superior talents cannot be ex-
pected to undertake. He who teaches the
Alphabet TO infancy, and the master of the
primary school, however so well they may
deserve their hire by their diligence or dex-
terity, cannot contribute much TO the honor
OF the fraternity 10 which they belong. The
profession, like every other, is dsgraced by
the ignorance, the vulgarity, and the vices
of some of IFS members and their errors and
excuses not only excite The more notice (be
cause schoolmasters are peculiarly exposed
to observatory but are the most severely
censured, because it is reasonably expected
that those who undertake 10 become teach
ers of our children, should exhibit the ex
ample OF excellence IN their conduct, as well
as its lessons in their Instructions
Those, too, in whose hands is the distrib,.
ton OF common fame, are connected only
with the common schoolmasters, and gener-
ally decide from common appearances.
The first source OF the veXations incident
TO the profession OF a schoolmaster is the va
riety of objects TO which he is called upon 10
attend, and the different talents and tempers
OF the students entrusted 10 his care. He
has the various eudowments of his pupils TO
direct, each to their proper object TO stimu-
late the sluggishness ofthe one, and TO COR
rect the perverseness of another TO restrain
vicious propensities wherever they appear.
and TO encourage every instance and every
symptom OF virtue TO force information up-
on the dull, and TO establish in all, habits of
diligence, order, and obedience. He knows
that he is under distinct and separate respon-
sibility for the improvement of every youth
placed under his care, and that his reputa
ton and his interests areat stake. Here then
surely is ample employment for the most sa-
gacious and the most active mind; here
surely are required such constant vigilance
and eXertion as may be entitled TO the admi-
ration, but cannot excite the envy, of the
members OF any other profession
The various shades ofCharacter in the Du-
pills do not attract much regard, nor would
such minute attention produce much Iitera-
ry advantage. Every hour brings its prop
er business. a composition is TO he exam
ined, or an author is 10 be read dleness is
10 bepunlshed, or diligence rewarded trans
erosion is 10 be chaslised, or merit applaud
ed and he who suffers his temper to be
ruflted, or his peace TO be DESTROYED by the
lollies OF those who are placed under his
care TO have those iolles corrected, is either
very culpaple or very unfortunate he wants
one of the Indispensable requisites for the Of
flee he has undertaken
Having thus imperieclly introduced The
subject of Education, the estimation, treat
Hlent, and grievances of teachers will be the
subject of future number

Mr.. Harper,
In looking over your paper
of the 18th. inst. ! noticed the commuuica-
tion of"ALIRIs" upon Education; and think
ingithat few more suggestions would not be
irrelevant to the laudable cause in which he
has embarked, ] have accordingly advanced
them and, as "Aliris' has dweit with CON
siderable length on the grievances of Parents
and Children, the writer of this will take the
antithesis.
That the profession of a Schoolmaster is,
IN high degree, useful TO the community
and that it requires, for its due exercise, no
contemplate talents, are points universally
confessed but it will not be asserted, that il
is held in proportionate estimation. The
term does not convey TO the mind, the notion
OF a dignified character, and a Schoolmaster
is not, as such, well received amongst the
superior orders of society A few indiyid-
uals Of the profession, by their literary tai
ents and private virtues, may have forced
their way to eminence and distinction and
the masters Of many Of our public schools
derive dignity from the establishments O.
yer which they preside. But the general
idea entertained Of Schoolmaster seems to
be that Of an humble drudge in the garden oil
knowledge, who digs the soil and trains the
plants indeed, but who cannot taste the beau
ty, or understand the value Of the flowers
and the fruit. lie is considered only as the
pioneer ofscience, who removes distractions
and smooths '6e road for those literary he
roes, whose honors he is not permitted Il
cOare
OF this contemptuous notion the reasons
are, perhaps, not difficult 10 be found,

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
SECURITYSHIPS.

The whole system of securityships
consider a gross absurdity, to which men
are only reconciled by custom. If you
wish TO beiriend neighbor lend him the
money he may need, if you have it but do
not commit the folly of binding yourself
jointly with him, to pay his debt, it may be
for an imprudent purchase of property If
you have not the money to lend him, per-
haps you will not be able TO pay it as secu-
rity without sacrificing property which is
necessary TO the comfort of your family The
absurdity of the system consists in this
that you bind yourself TO pay for property
in which you have no interest, and over
which you can have no control-rendering
yourself equally responsible for the risks
of accident, and the follies and miscalcula-
tions ofyour friend. Is there any reason in
this And is there any more propriety in
your neighbor asking you to 90 his securi-
ty to a merchant, farmer. or mechanic,
for goods he has bought and used, and for
which he canrot pay? You were not con-
suited in the purchase, and it is not rea-
sonable therefore that you should be in
volved in the consequences of the impru-
dence either ofthe buyer or the seller.
1t is objected, however, that the abolish
ment of securityships would operate against
the worthy poor. Not so-character would
then be looked to as the great security-and
the imprudent or the unprincipled-suc as
now generally leave their securities in the
lurch-would be the only sufferers, if sui-
ferers they could be called. Men always
sell with q calculation that they will be paid;
if they have noone bound but the purchaser,
of course they will satisfy themselves that
there is reasonable prospect of payment
before they part with theirproperty. There
fore the tendency would be beneficial, as it
would restrain the imprudent for men who
cannot furnish reasonable assurance of
payment ought not to purchase. In cases
were there is no risk, of course there is no
necessity for security but to stand surety
merely against the chances of accident is an
unwarrantable requirement, which, in the
light of common sense, COMFORTS neither
with the feelings nor the obligations of
friendship-unless, indeed, a man owes all
TO his friends, and nothing to his family.
1t is high time that this absurdity of Sc
curity should be eXploded.-It has had vic
Tins enough. Who mas not seen the once
cheerful homes it has made desolate p
the anectionate wives whose hearts it has
broken, and whose children il has beggared
Let such, then, estimate if they can, the
value Of that "kind- heartedness" which the
world usually ascribes 10 the man who is
the author of such injustice TO his family ;
and let them determine, whether there is not
more indelicacy in asking friend to go Sc
curity for debt, than in refusing to incur
so unfair responsibility
am not done with this subject.

THE CHOLERA.

and sixteen colored persons. The Herald
OF the same day remarks-"We are sorry
TO INFORM our distant readers, that it is not
within our power TO announce any abate-
ment OF the epidemic" The same paper
says the disease has somewhat increased in
Portsmouth. The change is ascribed to
heavy fall of rain.
The average number of deaths by Choe-
"a in Norfolk since the commencement of
the disease, is stated by the Herald at II
per day.
The disproportion in the deaths by Chol-
era, at Norfolk, between the whites and
blacks, is remarkable. On the llth there
were II deaths, 10 of which were colored
persons. On the 18th, ii deaths, of which
ii were colored persons A similar differ
ence has appeared throughout the reports.
In New York the disease appears to be
gradually abating.
In Elizabeth City, North Carolina, there
have been several cases of Cholera.
In Philadelphia, on the 10th, there were
70 cases and % deaths of the latter, three
only occurred in the private practice Of the
city-"and none," says the Gazette, ssin any
business part, or near where business men
visiting the city would be likelyto approach !"
Ihe same paper remarks that the Physici-
ans have attained that practical know ledge
of the disease which gives them the mastery.
The Cholera prevails 10 considerable
extent in a number ofthe Towns and Villa
ges in New York and New Jersey.
