schools in the United States, indeed in all |
the schools in the world. For wherever
it is a constant exercise, children become
good spoilers, writers, grsmmarians, &C.,
which they seldom fever do, by the mere
use of spelling books, writing copies and
grammars.
Nothing that l have witnessed in any
schools have visited, either in the CITY
or country, has afforded me higher or,
purer pleasure, than the efforts of the pu-
pills TO bestow some benefit upon other
schools, or upon other states and countries.
Such instances have witnessed in schools
in the east, west, north and south. In
Georgia and the other southern states, the
pupils of numerous schools spend much
of their time in collecting and preparing
specimens of nature, or of their own i'm
provement, to send other countries and
other states. The pupils of a Ladies'
Seminary 10 Savannah, Geo, was in
formed, had sent specimens to similar in
situations in seven different states in the
Union and to some schools across the At
lantic.
In this delightful and Christian en-
ployment of doing good to others, the pu.
pills of many schools. in this part of Penn
syIvania, are daily and ardently engaged.
In this small village and the vicinity, six
or eight schools are rendered industrious,
studlous and happy, in preparing various
specimens to send out into the great aoorld,
for the benefits Of others, in America, Eu.
rope, Asia, Africa, or the Islands of the
Sea, who may chance to receive them
Among these specimens are numerous
drawings of geometrical figures, instru-
ments, flowers, fruits. shells, &C., princi-
palIy in imitation of specimens received
from your schools.
Some curious minerals are found in
abundance in this part of the country, such
as staIactitIes, pending from the roof of a
neighboring cave limestone composed OF
shells, beautiful blue limestone, milk
and greasy quartz various kinds of iron
ore, and some other minerals, which the
members of schools are busy in collecting,
more for others than themselves.
Numerous kinds of wood, with fruit or
seeds Of plants, are also collected for the
use of such schools in the city or country,
as may wish 10 receive them.

"And Enoch walked with God."-Gen. v. "a.
This is the only walk in which we can
not go astray; and happy he who, amidst
the innumerable paths by which he is
surrounded, is led to the proper walk
To walk with God, We must take heed to
every step of his providence and his grace
we must have holy tear of not keep
ing close to him; though he will never
leave us, if we do not leave him. We
must maintain sacred communion with
him, and have our conversation in heaven
rather than on earth; we must be per-
petually receding from the world, and
Withdrawing from its attachments We
must feel our hearts glow with a greater
degree of love 10 him, and, by the infu-
ence ofthe Holy Spirit upon our affections,
become gradually more assimilated to the
divine nature. We must take his word
for our directory, his promise for our food,
and his blessed Son for our sole reliance,
making the foot of the Gross our only
resting place.
If we thus walk with God through the
wilderness of life, he will walk with us
when we reach the dark "valley of the
shadow of death - and though we can
not hope for the same translation as Enoch

The day Il coming-fearful day
When earth insdust shall pass away,
As David and the Sibyl say.
How dread the terror that will ring
When Christ the Judge shall come again,
To try lhe-sins Of guilty men
Then must the earth the throne surround
= when the loud rumpetls startling sound,
Shall wake the sleePers 10 the ground.
And when the risen world assemble
Around the Judge where none dissemble
Fen death viii quake, and nature tremble.
Then each shall read written scroll,
10 which will be contained the whole,
That stands against the guilty .oul.
Nought shall escape beneath the eve
OF him who sits enthron'd to try,
The world with rigid scrutiny.
Oh! what shall then for me be said,
TO whom am to look for aid
When scarce the just are undismayed7
Thou King Of fearful majesty,
, Who savest those that trust in thee;
FOUNTAIN Of mercy, pity rue.

Thou hast endured my soul to gain.
All righteous Judge to whom cling,
Fume the sweetest pardon bring
Before the day of reckoning.
Ny spirit groans that I'm so base;
Confusion, rest upon my face,
OH pardon me, thou God Of grace:
But thou who many sins forgave
And babe the dying robber live,
Tome wilt also pardon give.
Although my prayers unworthy be

MISCELLANEOUS.
wAsHINGToN,s VIEWS OF WAR.

We find the following sentiment in a
letter written to Arthur Young, ESQ.,, of
Great Britain, some years after the war I;
its date is Mount Vernon, Dec 4, 1888.
1.-The more am acquainted with agri-
cultural affairs, the better | am pleased
with them insomuch that can no where
ind so great satisfaction as in those inno-
cent and useful pursuits. In indulging
these feelings, am led to reflect how
much more delightful TO an undebauched
mind, is the task of making Improvements
on the earth, than all the vain glory which
can be acquired from ravaging it, by the
most uninterrupted career of conQuests.
The design of this observation is only to
show how much, as a member of human
society, [ feel myself obliged by your
laborS to render respectable and advanta-
geous, an employment which is more
congenIal to the natural dispositions of
mankind than any other."
In another letter, written about the
same time, he says:
&C. How pitlful, in the eye of reason and
religion, is that false ambition which de-
solates the world with fire and sword for
the purposes of conquest and fame, COM
pared to the milder virtues of making our
nelghbors and fellow men as happy as
their frail conditions and perishabie ma
lures will permit them to be.''
A WARRIORS OPINION OF War;
The following is singular language to be
used by a brother of Napoleon. 1t is from
an answer of Louis Bonaparte to Sir
Walter Scott
Il have been enthusiastic and joyful as
any one after battle but also confess
that the sight of a battle field has not only
struck me with horror, but turned me sick
and now that | am advanced in life. 7
cannot understand any more than could
at fifteen years of age, how beings, who
call themselves reasonable, and have so
much foresight, can employ this short ex.
istence, not in loving and aiding, bur in
putting an end to each others existence.
as if Time. did not himself do this with
sufficient rapidity! What 1 thought at

draws upon itself, fare but organized barbar-
isms, an inheritance OF, the savage state"

institution and false e!oquence."
