EDUCATION. The different productions of

the different degrees Of proficiency in arts and
sciences, aud the different disposition. or il

pursue different methods in the instruction Of
youth. But the general principles Of education
are the same, or nearly SO, in all ages. and ali

A law against reading the Holy Scriptures
was enacted in the reign Of Henry v. of Eng
land, Of the following purport:
+" That whosoever they were that should
read the Scriptures in the mother tongue, they
should forfeit land, cattle, life, and CODES,
from their heyres for ever, and so BIZ condem.
ned for hereiykes to God, enemyes to the
crowne, and most arrant traytoures to the

What revolution in public opinion has
since taken place, when the scriptures have
been translated into all languages, and scat
tered broadcast, as it were, over all tho earth.

How beautiful! How pure, how fair,
This form Of infancy! F
Surely no polished marble rare
Could ever vie with thee!
No lilly Of tho grassy vale
That stands in summer shower
So white, 20 lovely, and 20 pale
Az this young dropping flower.
We've. seen thee i'd the glow Of health,
When every winning grace,
And early sweet Intelligence
Were bcamiog in thy face,
Twined in the fond embrace.
OF her, thou Mother called.
Thy blue and melting eye,
Raised to return the ardent gaze.
In fondest ecstacy.
When in fragrant leafy bower,
With roses clustering Der thee,
We've viewed thee pluck the budding flower,
And haste TO bear thy emblem to her,
q! could we but adore thee!
When gazing on thy lifeless form,
wish were like thee,
The quiet, pzlient, sanity calm,
Chastened the falling tear;
And resignation poured balm,
In meek and holy prayer.
Come, Mother of that babe 50 rare.
Come view with me yon feecy cloud
That softly floats in air.
The little cherub's with his God,
ETHEREAL, light and fair.
He surely was too bright gem
To sparkle long en- earth;
Fit only for dadem
In Heaven. On new birth
His vision wakes-and still he will be here,
At morning and at even;
Hear every sigh and every prayer,
And watt them all to Heaven. e. 8.

II We refer the reader 10 the ex-
cellent speech of Judge BOwlin, deliv-
cred on Saturday last, at the court house,
in this town. Although It's great length
necessarily excludes much other matter
yet we do not know how we could bet
ter occupy our columns. We have been
induced to publish it mainly for the graft
fcation and benefit of those who from
the short notice given, did not know that
the Judge was to speak on that day,
though many were apprised Of the fact
that he had been invited to visit and adj
dress the people here, before the election.
He has cheerfully. and nobly complyed
with the wishes ofhis democratic friends
here, and he has their sincere and
greateful thanks.

ARKANsAs.-So far as heard from, the
majority of Gen. Drew, the Democratic
candidate for governor, over DR.. Gibson,
the whig candidate is 39O-and Yell
majority over Walker, wing, IS 4SS.
Byrd, the Independent candidate for gov
ernor, received in seven counties, 2l5
votes. We could loan him the "Hose's"
vote if it would do him any good; but it
seems he is so far behind as to be out Of
the reach of assistance from any quarter.
Softism don't seem to go down with the
democracy ofArkansas, as well as it did
with us-and even here they were beaten
so badly that they hardly know them
selves now.
BY the way, we hope the Journal will
be honest enough to undecieve its read
