Addressed, In q letter, to Sir Egertoh Bridges
gr ROBERT sourHEY.
MY days among the dead are passed;
Around me behold,
Nbsne'er these casual eyes are cast,
The mighty minds of old:
ny neyer-faiiing friends are they,
With whom lconverse, day By day.
With them take deiigh, in veal,
Aad seek relief in wo;
And while understand and feel
Hos! much to them owe,
Iy cheeks hare often been believed
With tears of thoughtful gratitude.
My thoughts are with the dead: with them
Lire in long past years;
Their virtues lore, their faults condemn
Pauske their hopes and fears;
And from their lessons seek and find
Instruction, with humble mind.
by hopes are with the dead: anon
My place with them will be,
And with them shall travel on
Through all futur,ty;
YET leaving here name, trust,
That viii, mot perish in the dust.

The person who will come into a
merchants store, lawyers Office, a
printing Office, or room where books,
letters and papers are lying open and
exposed, and with all the coolaess ina
ginable, picks up, reads and examines
them from unwarrantable curiousity,
for the purpose Of prying into the af-
fairs Of his neighbors, IS shameless,
senseless and impudcnt gentle
man.
The Grand River Journal gives the
following musical anecdote, that occu-

steamboat Milwaukee, which failed
in consequence of mot being able to gel
her to move, after knocking away the

ScHoo1. MAsTERs.-Greatc complains
have boen made in this state OF the
lack Of wei! qualified school masters.
Many schools are closed for the want
Of them. This is lamentable truth;
and il is an evil which we fear will not
soon be remedied, To a very consid-,
lerable extent, reliance for school mas
tiers must be had on the young men OF
other states; and the design of this
paragraph is to callthe attention OF such
to the prospects which this state pres
ents for the exercise oftheir profession.
Youngmen ofeducation and enterprise,
who wis., to examine our country, can
always fine employment as instructors
in which employment they can very
readily succeed in obtaining all the
Information they may desire.
Our eastern editorial brethren would
probably subserve the cause Of educa-
ton in the west by copying the above
paragraph.
School Aouses.-At every fourth Of
July dinner "EDucAT1oN" is sure to
be remembered. We would be glad
to see the patriotic spirit which then
rises so high on this subject, not pass
off with the excitement which produ-
ced it. To make a proper beginning
in this matter, there should be decent
school houses. A vast portion Of the
school houses in this country are but
little better than stables-cold, dark
and gloomy, better fitted for the con-
fnement of culprits than group Of
happy children. We may be mistaken,
but we believe children will make far
greater progress in their studies in q
cheerful and comfortable room, than in
the dark, damp and cold shelters we
are speaking Of, where the word com
fort has nc meating either to the chill
drcn or teacher. This view Of the
matter, we are glad to learn, has indu
ced citizens in several parts of thi
county toerect buildings against which
these objections cannot properly bt
preferred; and so satisfied are they o
the advantages they have secured tt
their children by the new houses, tina
no sufficient inducement could be Of
fered to them to 60 back to the ole
system. As an instance we would
state that on Little Spring creek, neal
! the residence Of Colonel Craig, is one
|of these new houses standing me
mortal ofthc intelligence, moral worth
and energy of the citizens Of neighbor
hood. Such house speaks Ian
guagc to the intelligent traveller which
! he is sure to feel and remember. The
example thus presented to worthy o
limitation. It is commended to oul
citizens by the best interests Of theil
children-by all the hopes they have
for them in the future. A good house
Twill be likely to secure competent
instructor-and without such an in.
structor the time of children in school.
is but little better than wasted. The
season is now advancing for the open.

Isitic anecdote,wh he saysi & undoubt-
eddy the truth. a chief, by the name
Iof Glover, in some gush Of passion
happened to Stay another Indian. The
invariable peanlty for killing among
these primitive beings is death, and
that punishment Is, 81 their custom,
to be inflicted ~ the nearest friends
Of the deceased. These had met to-
gether with the prisoner ia their charge
to execute the last sentence on poor
Clover. He asked one favor DC his
Judges before he died, and as generous
enemies, he hoped they would grant
Iit, as twas the last he would ever ask
Of them, it was that he might be per-
mitted to take one more glass Of liquor,
and smoke one more pipe Of tobacco.
So smalla request was readily granted;
they promised to postpone the execu-
ton until he drank and smoked again.
Having got them sufficiently commit
ted to this proposition, he gave them
to understand that he never intended

Of an - II promise that this subter-
fuge has 60 far saved Glover's life,

There was performed in our village,
last week, a very curious and novel
operation on the eye being nothing
more nor less than the instantaneous
cure Of squirting or 'sStrab ismus," As
it IS properly called. The patient, a
young lady from South Carolina, came
from Saratoga to this place to meet
DR.. Scudder, and SO perfect was the
operation, 4 SO little the inconvinience,
that she returned with her parents to
Saratoga in the evening train of cars.
ihe opeiation was performed by cut
ting some Of the fhers Of the muscle
which held the eye obliqucly, the con-
sequence was, that the opposite muscle
Immediately brought the eye in its pro.
per line Of vision, and the unpleasant
detormity Of squirting was instantane;
ously removed. Ballston Spa Gaz.

Government monopoly Of the st. Lawrence trade pack
ed jures perpetual Senate the creatures of the Go
