Abstract OF School Returns OF Massachusetts

II We have received copy of the abstract
OF the school returns of this State, for the
past year, prepared by tho Secretary Of the
Board of Education. 1t is n very closely
printed volume of $40 pages, and must have
been work Of immense labor. II embraces
the substance Of the returns and reports of
! the School Committees Of 304 towns, all
mcihodlcally arranged, with lecapltularions
of the prominent facts, in a variety Of tabular
forms. Three towns only had neglected TO
make returns the last year
| In addition tO the abstract OF the leading
facts stated in the reports, the Secretary
! gives extracts from the explanations, remarks
and speculntons IT the several committees,
whenever they contained any thing OF srlk.
ing character. Those remarks, being IN
general, or at least often, the results Of the
practical experience Of the respective COM
mttees, under great variety Of circumstan-
ces, must contain useful hints for the instruc.
ton Of others Of less experience. Ii is for
this reason, doubtless that they are published.
/ The Secretary remarks ilat the reports OF
the last year were equivalent in the whole to
about 2,300 manuscript letter paper pages.

"Why, ma do you think -"
Maria paused and looked upon the floor,

"Probe yourself thoroughly, my child

Maria looked thoughtful and concern

"Surely, my child, it is not by indulg-

soon 80 much engaged in trying to con-

The Duty of the Married.

The correct policy-nay, the duty of the mar
is to realize as far possible in the subsequent
period OF existence, the expectations held out by
the trial time of courtship. To preserve in after
life the same bright picture that won our early
idolatry. To keep the flame kindled iii youth con-
stantly fed by gentleness of affection kindness OF
manner, and depth of regard, and thus to keep
constantly burning light that will cheer and glad
den hearth and home till the latest period of exis-
tence
To win mans affectionsis is comparatively speak
ing an easy matter-to retain them the great art
the true secret of domestic felicity. The wife
then should at least endeavour to render herself
quite as attractive as the maid,--and thus to show
that she at once understands the obligations as
sumed at the altar appreciates the confidence,
and is really anxions to preserve the affections of
her husband. But the moment the matrimonial
knot is tied, let her tear away the mask-let her
become attentive to those little delicacies of dress
and refinements of manner-those thousand name
less attractions that speak, as it were, from the
depths ofthe oul,-let her exhibit apathy and in
difference, and the veil will soon fall from the fea-
lures of both---and the one stand forth heartess
hypocrite4 other a betrayed and miserable
wretch. This is no idle picture---no false theory
1t will apply well to the husband as the wife,
nay, with far more force to the former, who must
seek to betray--and assume mask deep and
subtle, and from his relative position in society," far
more culpable than thatwhich sometimes conceals
the guile Of the gentler portion of creation.

Death of Judge Hopkinson.

The Hon. JOSEPH HoPKINsoN, Judge of the
District Court Of the United States for the Eas-
tern District Of Pennsylvania, departed this life
on Saturday morning, at an early hour. He
was the son of the Hon. Francis Hopkinson, a
distinguished patriot during the revolutionary
siruggle-and inherited from his sire, his yir-
tues, genius and patriotism. Judge H. succeeded
the Hon. Richard Peters on the bench, and for
several years represented The city Of Philadel-
phia in the Congress of the United States. He
was only distinguished for his wit and elo-
quence, but for his ability as writer and eff
cheney as Judge. He was courteous and
genilemanly in an eminent degree. His well
known production OF "HArL COLUMBIA" is
fraught with the true fire of patriotism, and had
he never written another line, would have borne
his name with honor to posterity. He was a
member of number of the learned societies,
and only short time before his death he visited
several of our neighboring towns, and lectured
to large and delighted audiences. He was one
of the pail bearers, at the funeral of the late
lamented philanthropist, JNo. VAUGHAN, which
took place yesterday fortnight. The decase Of
this eminent citizen, will be deeply lamented
by large circle Of friends and relatives.
The remains of this distinguished citizen,
were taken on Monday by the ears to Borden
town. They were followed to the steamboat,
by large number Of our most respectable citi-
zens, including the Judges of the Courts, the
members of tine bar, and number of literary
and scientific societies.

The editor of the Providence Journal has seen
letter from Mr.. Catherwood, dated the 9th of
November, at the ruins in Uxmal-the Northern
part of Yucatan. This place was the last visited
and described by Messrs. Stevens and Catherwood.
It was there that the latter was taken sick, and
obliged to hasten away, after being but few
hours among one of the most interesting of the
ruined cities of that country. He now writes that
their party had already been several weeks bnsily
occupied in their researches among the ruins OF
that place. and that so vast and so full of interest
were these ancient remains, that month longer
will be necessary before they can complete their
drawings and nvestig gations; after which they will
proceed to Chiten, Itzan, and other places, in
which some remarkable antiquities exist, and
which have not yet been described. "In fact"
observes Mr.. Catherwood, "the whole country is
covered with ruins, and greatest difficulty is,
in choosing those of most importance, which will
tend to some definate end, and where we shall be
most rewarded for our labors." Several months,
he supposes, will still be necessary to accomplish
their purposes, as they do not intend to let any
thing of importance escape their attention. The
proprietor of Uxmal, and of an extensive district
of country around, Don Simon Peon, was with
our travellers, and had extended to them every ia
cility they could wish in accomplishing the objects
of their visit DIR. Cabot, a young physician and
naturalist, from Boston, was also with them
This gentleman was as actively employed in col
lecting specimens in natural history, as Mr. Cath
erwood was in his department of the arts. ID. c..
has already made fine collection of the birds OF
the country, and will, no doubt, bring home the
most valuable collection of ornithological speci-
mems ever brought from tropical America.,-Sat

Recovery of the Crown Jewels.
Baltimore, Tuesday, 9 A. III.


The Jewels stolen from the Patent
Office at Washington, have heen re-
covered by our Police. Three of our
Police Officers yesterday, acting on
private information they had receiv-
ed, obtained a search warrant, and
proceeded to the Schr Mary Bright,
commanded by Captain Bright, lying
at the head of Smiths Dock, bound
for Richmond Va, and succeeded in
recovering the famous Gold Snuff
Box, presented by the Emperor Alex
ander to Levett Harris, the American
Charge d Affairs at st. Petersburg
the Pearl Necklace, presented by the
Imaum of Muscat to president Van
Buren; the Gold Scabbard, present
ed by the Vice Roy of Peru to Com.
Biddle, and two large Pearls, all of
which were stolen from the Patent
Office ofthe United States, on the Goth
of December last The articles when
found, were in large leather trunk,
wrapped up in straw mating. The
trunk was labelled and directed to the
care of James Arson, Richmond, Va.
Capt. b. afforded every possible
assistance and although he was alb
sent when the trunk was left, and
therefore unable to give description
ofthe individual who placed the trunk
on board, this desirable information
was had of the steward of the vessel.
We cherish the hope that they may
be equally successful in detecting the
thief The sword sheath is not much
injured, and the other articles were
not damaged in the least.
