EDucATioN.-The following extract from the late message of Gov. Briggs of Mass. upon the state of education i'll the commonwealth is worthy of being noticed here:
 It Itappears by the statistical tables of the United States that she had colleges with 769 students, 25l academies and grammar schools with l6,746 scholars, and 3,362 common and primary schools with l69,258 scholars; l59,- 35l of whom are educated at the public ex- pense. We pay yearly nearly one million of dollars for purposes of education. With all these facilities for education, too many children are growing up among Us without receiving it's blessings
 In State where the right of suffrage is so nearly universal, as it is here, and where every man is man. no youth should be per- mitted to grow up in ignorance. It is much cheaper and thousand times more delightful to cultivate and enlghten the child, than to support and punish malnred poverty and vice

TO A FLIGHT OF WILD GEESE. BY MRS. INDIA JANE PETERSON.

TO A FLIGHT OF WILD GEESE.
 BY MRS. LYDIA JANE pIERsoY, Dark wing'd couriers of the sky, Riding on the stormy air, Shouting forth your clarion cry, Winter comes Prepare Prepare Tell me ye who ride the waves. Ne who breast the thunder storms Issuing from the Northern caves, Saw ye Winters icy storm! Iinfs and seasons mystic lore. How did ye, wild birds, attain' Which Astfologera of yore PeEli'd souls to find, in vain. Read ye on the page of Heaven That which wandering planets write Are the flaming meteores given Signals for yourume oi ilight' Or do spigit voices come From the night clouds drifting car, Whispering through your summer home Ot loyeller land aiar. Do ye, on your mighty sail. Float najestcaliy forth, When the current oi the gale Rolls its pillows from the Northl Tell me Oh ye free, and strong. Shouting thus upon the air, N here ye love and rear your young? Where your summer dwellings are Lie they where some lucid lake Looks to heaven with dimpling smiles. While its whispering Waveiets break Round the feet ol fairy isles Rich with spirit haunted bowers, Where the languid South wind comes, Dreaming through the noon tide houn, Graded by the balmy blooms Where soft as angels dreams Lie there lingering twilight hours Aud the moons pellacid beams, Steal like spirits through the bowers-- Where the richest grasses spread Every where beneath your feet, And the wild rice bends its head, Offering delicious treat? Round these islands of delight, Fearless Of the threatening gale, ThEong'd upon the nipples bright, Did ye ike fair galieys sail? Trae'd ye many aloyely shore By the foot of man untrod, " here the robe that Nature wore Was the handiwori ol Con? Wither wing ye now your way?--- Will ye pass the wintry hours, Where the placid Southern Sea Sights along enchanted shofes2 Beautiful, and winged with might, Free as Freedoms mountain wind; Heedless ye pursue your flight, Leaving trace nor voice behind!

Most people know that skins and hides are convert

this article the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
trates the stest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use; and if it tears easily with the
fingers it impars at strength that is utter ly
incredible until 1t becomes like new leather

WORMS! woRMs!! woRms!!l

Of all diseases to which children are exposed,
none are so fatal to them as worms. Unfortunately
plant, they often produce alarming effects withoa
being suspected. Worms not only cause Of
disease themselves but by their irritation aggravate
all other diseases, wandering from part Of the
body to another, winding themselves into large balls,
and obstructng the bowels and frequently the throat
causing commissions, and too often death. The best
remeuy ever yet known is 4
