BEAUTIFUL INcIpENT-BEAuTIrvL SEnMoN-I was
taking walk down broadway, solitary and alone
conversation which passed between lady and gen.
tleman. The Miss was one of natures own children
beautiful bright and charming-n fact paragon Of
perfection. The young lady with her was not such
pattern Of loneliness although her eye bespoke ntel-
gence. They were sauntering down the street care
lessly when young man of twenty-five passed
them, having in his hand a most elegant boguei.
10! how beautiful, exclaimed the pretty Miss,

Of all things you know do not frequently see such
fresh ones as those appear to be, cousin Annette"
The young man turned round, and said "prctty
Miss did you wish one of these roses"
He of a moderate height, dark complexion, a
brilliant black eye, and high, prominent and intel
lectual forehead. Annette blushed and observed
modestly that she had expressed a wish of that
kind.
Please select the farest flower my little stock will
afford" said he.
She did so, and chose white rose Just expanding
He imprinted kiss upon il, presented il to her. and
thus addressed her.
"Lady, that rose is an emblem of myself so pure

STEAM Bears ON FIRE.--Capt. Butler the warin-
ger Of the Second Municipality, has shown ms the
model Of an invention Of his for steering boat while
burning.
The model represents the application of a very
simple apparatus to any steamboats, rudder to enable
The pilot to steer her without being exposed TO danger
from fire, or inconvenience from smoke, when COM
PEELED to leave his post in the wheel or pilot house.
The apparatus itself is 80 well known, and so sim
pie, and its application obvious to require no
explanation, further than to say that by raising il up
and hooking the brace to i the motion Of the rudder
is left entirely free under the ordinary circumstances
and in no way ebsructed by il, and the mement the
alarm of fire on board makes il necessary by un-
hooking the brace il falls into gear and is ready for
vse-the boats wheel ropes may then be cut and the
helmsman takes his station on the platform beyond
the reach of the fire and smoke, and may remain
there until the boat 10 burned to the guards and then
drop himself overheard and hang by beckett in the
end of the tiller until picked up.
IL can be applied without much difficulty or expense
TO any construction Of the boat and by making Of
iron with brass wheel il may be rendered IN orna-
ment TO the stern of boat-American.

EDUCATION,

Among the millions Of our countrymen
there are few who do not effect to be gov
erned by the sentiment, knowledge is pow
err" yet how contradictory are our practi-
cal definitions of the aphorism. Indeed so
passively do we consent to be contradicted
by circumstances and force of habit, that,
having acquired the mere pounds, shillings
and pence information, absolutely necessa-
ry, TO the vocation whereby we subsist,
we settle down as though we had exhaust
ed the wisdom of Minerva, and our intel
lects had no capacity for greater things
The maxim, ''mind your own business, I"
in this case is observed to the letter, on one
intermeddling with any department of edu-
cation not Immediately connected with his
own profession. The machine leaves a
correct autography, legible penmanship,
and grammatical construction of sentences
to the school master, who in turn, leaves
the toll of authorship to him who makes
his living by the page or paragraph; the OBJ
struce sciences again deyolve upon those
ambitious of name hereafter; the learning
of the church is considered exclusively the
property of the priesthood; and last and
worst, the lawyers alone learn law. So
through all the gradations ofscientifc, NOR
al, religious, 81 civil research, we indolent-
ly trudge on in the path Immediately before
us, without deigning glance upon the glo-
rious field around:
If knowledge be Power, what prOdigies
of might are slumbering around us! In this
nineteenth century, when its treasures are
all free as the winds of heaven, how might
man arise and burst the shackles of insolent
domination How might he stretch his
arm to the ''chief pillars" and bring down
the great temples of delusion! With his
right hand he could unfold the floodgates of
truth-with the other tear up the founda-
tons of error. The demons of superstition
and oppression would stalk back to their
dark abode, and intellectual, political, and
spiritual freedom proclaim a jubilee for all
the earth.

CHURCH ROBBERY.

We regret to learn, says the Newark,
(N. ~ Advertiser of Saturday, that the
handsome new edifce of the Episcopal
Church at Belleviiie was destroyed by fire
this morning about o'clock.-The house
had not been finished or occupied, and
stood entirely insulated, and there can be
no doubt that its destruction is the work of
an lncendiary. The loss to the parish must
he from $4,000 to 5000. A reward of 5000
is offered for the incendiary. We under
stand that two men were seen running from
the village towards Newark, few minutes
before the alarm of fire.

FOURTH OF JULY.

In Cattawissa, Danville, and at Mellow
ell's mills, the citizens celebrated this Ami
versary with the spirit and decorum that
should characterize all such festive ccca-
sions. We regret, however, to state, that
an Irishman, while the party were charging
a cannon at Cattawissa, placed the fire of
his pipe upon the touch-hole before the
wadding had been sufficiently "fammed
down." and that it bGrsted, at the same
time launching him into eternity. lie has
left wife and two children upon the char
ity of the world; and by his conduct he has
given another warning to those who ccle-
brate the Anniversary of American Inde-
pendence, to prevent the use of Cannons on
such occasions. Every anniversary gives
fresh cause to oppose the use of those pie
ces, the control of which are generally pla-
ced in the hands of persons incapable, from
habits of inebriation, of using them with
safety to the attendants or themselves.
