The Austrian law relative to educa-
ton says-No village in the hereditary
dominions shall be without an ele-
mentary school-no male shall enter
the marriage state who is not able to
read, write and understand casting up
accounts-no master of any trade can,
without paying heavy penalty, en-
ploy workmen who are unable to read
and write-and small books of moral
tendency shall be published and dis
tributed at the lowest possible price to
all the subjects Of the empire. These
regulations undoubtedly looksomewhat
arbitrary, but they also prove that
Brougham's remark is just-seThe
schoolmaster is abroad" but of what
great use is it if he remains all the
time abroad and never comes home to

Truth is one of the fairest attributes
of the Deity. 1t is the boundary which
separates vice from virtue-the line
which separates heaven from hell. It
is the chain which binds the man of
integrity to the throne of God, and
like the God to whose throne it binds
him, till this chain is dissolved, his
word may be relied on. Suspended
on this, your property, your life, your
reputation are safe. But against the
malice of liar, there is no security.
He can be bounded by nothing. His
soul is already repulsed to returnless
distance from the Divinity, sense Of
whose presence is the security of vir-
tue. He has sundered the last of those
l;gaments which bind a mortal to his
duty. And having done SO, through
the extended region of fraud and false
hood, without bond to check, or linn
it to confne him, the dreaded enemy
of innocence, he ranges; whose lips
pollute even truth itself as it passes
through them, and whose breath, like
the crdaverous mists of Hades, blasts
and soils, and poisons as it touches.

NEW RIVER CRAFT.-The Ogdens-
burg Republican notices the following
as among the occurrences in that quar-
ter, consequent upon the rise of the
ST. Lawrence-which it says was high
er than it has been known to be since
the settlement Of the country
s'Last week, two islands, belonging
to the group known as the Thousand
Islands, foated from the moorings, and
came down the river to this place.
The first came down on Thursday eve
ming; and was lowed in about a mile
and half below the village where it
grounded in about six feet water. The
second made its appearance on Satur-
day morning, and by the assistance Of
a favorable wind, was anchored near
the brewery Of the Messrs. Creieh-
toms in the lower part of the village.
Nothing can be imagined more pic
turesque and beautiful than the appear
ance of these green islands floating up-
on the bright bosom of our majestic
river! The novelty Of the sight at
tracted many persons in boats who
seemed anxious to gain possession Of
these seemingly fairy isles They
were both covered with a luxuriant
growth Of grass, one ofwhich has since
been mown and heavy crop Of hay
taken therefrom."

thee without asking.
2. When thou dost write for his pa

that the truth might offend thee.
8. 1t is not at that thou shouldst ask
of him, who is the author of an article
upon subjects Of public Government,
for his duty requires him to keep such
things unto himself.
4. When thou dost enter into a
printing Office, have care unto myself
that thou dost not touch the type, for
thou mayest cause the printer much
trouble.
S. Look not thou at the copy which

Marriage enlarges the scene of hap
piness or misery. A marriage of love
is pleasant, marriage Of interest easy,
and marriage where both meet, hap
py; and happy marriage has in it all
the pleasures Of friendship, all the en-
joyments of sense and reason, and in
deed all the sweets Of life. Good ma
ture and evenness Of temper will give
you an easy companion for life; virtue
and good sense an agreeable friend;
love and constancy, a good wife or hus-
band.
There is something in sickness that
breaks down the pride Of manhood
that softens the heart, and brings it
back to the feelings of infancy. Who
that languished even in the advanced
life, in sickness and despondency--wh
that has pinned on a weary bed in neg
lect in a foreign land, but has thought
of mother sthat looked on his child
hood,'' that smoothed his pillow, and
administered ohis helplessness? Oh,
there is an enduring tenderness in the
love of mother to her son, that tran
sends all other affections Of the heart!
It is neither t.. be chilled by worthless
ness nor daunted by danger, nor weak
ened by selfshness, nor stifled by in
gratitude. She will sacrifice every
comfort to his convence; she will sur
render every pleasure to his enioy-
ment; she will glory in his fame, and
exult in his prosperity; and if misCor-
tune overtake him, he will be the dear
er to her from misfortune; and if dis
grace settles upon his name, she will
still love and cherish him in spite Of
his disgrace; and if all the world be-
side cast him of, she will be all the
world to him.

Soc1ETY.-When neighbors dwell
together in peace, visit in friendship,
converse for useful improvement, or
harmless amusement, take part in each
others prosperity and adversely concur
in the government of their families,
are caudid to excuse and careful to con-
ceal each other trivial or Of accident
al failings; studious to reform real and
dangerous faults; when all abide in
their calling. and quietly perform their
own business, and NEEDLE not with the
temporal concerns of others, blessing
will attend their labors, and success
will smile upon their designs. Their
intercourse viii be easy, pleasant, and
virtuous; and foundation will be laid
for the happiness of succeeding genera
tons. But if each is bound up within
himself, and looks with indifference on
all around him, or beholds his inferior
with contempt, and his superior with
envy; ifevery meeting is filled with
impertinent and angry controversy,
and every visit employed in tattling
and backbiting; if neighbor defames
neighbor, and each watches for advan-
tage against the other-if an acquaint-
ance receives you with feigned smiles
of pleasure and friendly greetings. but
debases you character when your back
is turned-if every brother will endea-
vor to supplant, and every neighbor
to walk in SANDER, one had better
flee to the solitary mountains, and
dwell alone in the earth.

in character and accomplishments as
not to admit Of such honorable and
wise scrutiny, they had better give up
the idea of married life, and become
nuns at once. Such should be the SEN
t;ments on this subject, that every
Young gentleman sihouidsfeei himself
liberty to make every necessary inves-
t;ea,ion of character, ::withont subject
inc himself to the report Of being en-
eaeed. or of other than honorable In
Itsntions, il, disappointed, he sees fit to

4. Neither does an engagement con-
sic. IN the n,nxt unqualified declaration
Of love on the part Of either the gentle
man or the lady. This may all be, yet
nc obligations are assumed, no contract
is formed, And yet there are those
who suppose that declarations Of attach
ment impose an obligation on their
friend which cannot be resisted or vio-
lated. The gentleman, whose prov.
ince il always is first to make such dis
closures, considers that when he has
done this. he has secured by right his
object. But not SO. The lady may
be wholly unprepared for such an e.
vent. Such disclosure may be made
before she has made the necessary in
quiries and investigations herself
Such declaration may be made when
she has no suspicion of an attachment
existing, and whilst her own engage
ments and circumstances do not admit
of her entertaining such proposals for
a moment 1t is true, such disclo-
sure on the part of gentleman, impo-
ses certain duties on the female If
her circumstances are such as to render
an engagement impossible, she is bound
by every principle to acquaint him inn
mediateiy with the fact, and keep the
transaction secret. If her circum-
stances are such as to render it pro-
per for her to enter into matrimonial
engagement, it is proper then that she
make his proposals a matter Of imme-
diate and serious consideration. If she
is satisfied with his character, and en-
tertains such an affection for him as
will render a union happy, she has
nothing left to do but to make known
to him in modest and affectionate
manner, her acceptance of his propo-
sails. But if after due consideration,
and inquiry, and deliberation, she is
conducted to contrary conclusion, she
should lose no time of informing him
of the fact, in way least likely to
wound his sensibiliiies or mortify his
pride. She will consider it too, both
a dictate of modesty and prudence and
honor, to disclose the circumstance to
no living being.
S. A matrimonial engagement, then,
is when the parties, having made mu-
tual disclosures Of affection for each
other, in view of such disclosures,
bind themselves, by promises, to be-
come each others welded companion
for life. There must be a contract
formed, in which the parties pledge
themselves to each other for life, or
there can be no matrimonial engage
mcnt. Nothing short Of this can be
accounted betrothment, and nothing
more is necessary to its perfection.

BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-Ath thousand
years hence (for must indulge few
thoughts) perhaps in less, America
may be what Europe is now. The
innocence of her character that won
the hearts of all nations in her favor
may sound like romance and her
inimitable virtue as if it had never
been. The ruins Of that liberty, for
which thousands bled, may just furnish
materials for village tale; or extort a
sigh from rustic sensibility, while the
fashionables of that day enveloped in
dissipation, shall deride the principals
and deny the fact.
When we contemplate the fall of
empires, and the extinction of the ma
ton of the ancient world, we see but
little more to excite our roget than
Wondering ruins Of pompous palaces,
magnificent monuments, lofty pyramids
and walls, and towers ofthe most cost
ly workmanship; but when the empire
of America shall, the subject for con-
templative sorrow will be infinitely
greater than crumbling marble or brass
can inspire. 1t will not then be said
here rose Babel of immense height,
or there palace Of sumptuous extra
vagance; buthere! O!painful thought!
the noblest work Of human wisdom
the grandest scene of human glory

STRoNG ILLusTRATIoN.-Mr. Bur-
rowe's, the Pennsylvania Superinten-
dent Of Common Schools, in his re-
port to the Legislature, says:
ssThe attempt to force the spirit Of
learning to descend and diffuse itself
among the people by fostering it in
Colleges and the higher institutions, is
as vain as to expect heat to descend. -
When the lower stratum Of air is
warm, the upper cannot be cold. So
Of education. When the spirit is
once thoroughly infused in the mass
Of the people. colleges will require no
aid but the power of that spirit. .
