~ DON'T CARE. Yes you do care;
you are only in pet now, and when you
are sobered down and have had time for

QUALiFlCArloNs OF SCHOOL TEACHER.
The annexed character Of good school
master is taken from an English Journal !:
"A good schoolmaster ought 10 be a
man who knows much more than he is re-
CURED to teach, that he may teach with
intelligence and taste Who is 10 live in
humble sphere, and yet to have noble
and elevated mind, tina. he may preserve
that dignity Of sentimen, and Of deport-
mens without which he will never obtain
the respect of families; who posses rare
mixture of genileness and frmness; for,
inferior though he may be in station to
many individuals in tile parish. he ought
TO be the obsequious servant of none: a
man not ignorant Of his rights, but think~
ing more Of his duties; showing 10 all i
good example, and serving to all as coun-
sellor not given TO change his condition,
s .iio IDS maus Up his mind 20 i've and DIRE

TO him is the service Of God and his fell
Tow creatures. To rear masters approach
ing to such model is difficult task and
vel we must succeed in il, or else we have
done nothing for elementary instruction"

What if you have patch on your knee
lit is nothing to be ashamed of. 1t lays
easier on the mind than writ at the door
or an interview with creditor who feels
you have wronged him. Better wear an
old hat, an UNREASONABLE coat. or pair of
cow-hide shoes, than live extravagan.ly,
runsin debt, and have every body feel that
YOU are william. There is nothing like
prudence and economy ESPECIALLY If you

The Dom CAse.-Mr. UafS{Ow

THE Dom CASE Mr.. HafDlOw, the
President Of the Massachusetts Democratic
Association, in resigning his Office, takes
a new view Of the case Of Mr.. Dorr, Of
Rhode Island. Our own impression is
that his position cannot be maintained
but we throw it out for the consideration
Of those persons who may be better versed
than we are in the windings ofthe law
N. Y. Evening Post.
..Should Governor Dorr ever be arrest
ed by the present assumed governmentOf
Rhode Island, or indicted for treason. il
is clear that he. cannot be uied or convic-
ted because treason is a crime against a
government. If Governor Dorr commit
ted any treason, it was against the charter
government, which preceded the suffrage.
or Peoples Constitution. The charter
government is now confessedly abolished;
another system, another constitution has
taken it's place. A government can only
punish treason against ITSELF One gSve
eminent cannot punish any man for treas
son against another government. #. the !
fore. The present reigning usurpasion, pop
ularly called the government Of the !. arnl-
ed minority" should in the madness Of
their folly and guilt. arrest Governor Dorr.
see no objection TO raising this question
on writ Of habeas corpus, if there be such
thing as writ Of babeas corpus under 4
government sustained by that gang.

How DO you FEEL Jos. c.. Neal, ed.
itor Of the Pennsylvania, who was can.
didate for Congress 10 strong Wing dis
trict, views his defeat with such philoso-
phical calmness, that we seriously RECON-
mend tito the consideration of all defeat-
ed candidates.
And yet it is sometimes comfortable
thing to be defeated. One walks home
after such a disaster with no particular
care upon his mind. He is perfectly free

disturbed BY the roaring shouts Of lamp
light procession. It is not expected that
he should shiveringly arise at TWO or
three o'clock in The morning, to make
thankful speeches for the honor which has
been done to him, or TO invite Tom, Dick
and Harry to come in and soil his carpets
and drink his wine.
HE can take his meals and read the re-
turns in quiet, unannoyed by either bell
or knocker. He is not required 10 give
cold cuts and savory collations to celebrate
the triumph. On the contrary. all post
election expenses are dispensed with in
his case on account of the cold cut previ-
ously given to him at the polls. When he
walks forth his way through the streets is
clear and unembarrassed. Nobody squee.
yes his hand and asks for his influences.
He is no. obliged to peEplex his brain in
the coinage Of piquant replies in answer 10
flat and wearisome compliments. Success
must smile but defeat may indulge in his
humor. And then what cares he for Sc
curi,ies /! He is safe enough within him
self. His affairs, too, may stand as they
are-no winding up and packing up-no
changes to disturb his household goods or
to distress his adhesiveness. No winter in
Washington or sojourn at Hsrrisburgh TO
be provided for-no perplexi.ies about
other peoples business--no cogitation a.
bout how to remain poular and to satisfy
the worlds wife.
He who is defeated, may think as he
pleases, go where he pleases, wear what
he pleases. He is neither compelled TO
have opinions nor to define positions. He
has no dignity to support, pinching him
E.undss the arms and rendering him as un.
comfortable as an unaccustomed coat, and
whether he is democratic or aristocratic IN
his department, nobody knows and no.
body cares.
Who, then, let us ask, who would no
be defeated candidate! Who would no.
be like Jaffier in love and pleased with ru

of blunders, not for him, the free the un
trammeled, the independent; the un-voted

WINTER FLOWERS. Few things inspire
US with more cheerful feelings, than upon
entering a comfortable setting room Of
winters morning, to see the .brigh. gre Ell
leaves, and brilliant blossoms Of SON
rare exotic. glowing in all the freshness Of
their summer glory. Flowers give such
an assurance Of welcome. speaking as
they DO. so unequivocally Of Kindness, and
care and hospitality; they tell US Of gentle
hands which have tended, bright eyes
which hare watched, and sweet voices
which have whispered to1them thoughts
from the innermost fountains Of the souf-1
We know that there are deep and pure
affections where the love of flowers
Is TO be found-we feel that fancy and
taste have an influence there and that hope
and gIadness consecrate the spot. We are
apt TO mOrafize sometimes, and seek for
traits of character where few would ex.
pect TO discover them hence when we
see flowers blooming SO joyously within
doors, and hear the storm whis,ling with
out. we know that the cold which has
made us shiver would soon wither and de-
stroy these fragile offerings of Nature and
are led to the reflection, that their feeble
ness and dependendence have touched
some tender chord in the sympaihiziug
heart of woman. and awakened that pro-
pensity to cherish and to love so ins,nc-
lively excited by the weak or suffering in
her bosom. We learn thence how natural |
it becomes to such being 10 soothe the |
care worn, and to console the disappointed |
man. We see how truly she may become
a helpmate in his hour of trial-and we
know that his kindness andhis love should |
reward her efforts even as the winter fow-
ers bloom in grateful homage to her care.
Our fair readers would do well to cultivate
these mute companions in their social sit
ting rooms. They lend charm to the
dreary winter hour, by calling up pleasant
!ancies of spring time and promise--.hey
bring sweet associations to the memory
and strike the finest notes that yibrate in
he heart. creating sentiments of hope, and
owe and gratitude st. Louis Ariel.
