There is much for the good man to admire, in the
variety, ,comprehenslVeneSs and beautiful arrange
ment other benevolent and charitable institutions,
and to warm his gratitude towards the men who
founded, and who now direct them. But, there
Is moral grandeur presented to the patriot, In
her public schools, that surpasses them ALL by
the former, which cannot be commended too
strongly to the continued favor and fostering care
CT the Legislature, comfort and instruction are
provided for a few, who are excepted from the
mass by special misfortune. But the latter are a
blessing to all they provide for improving and
elevatng the whole body of the people, and for
qualifying every child in its onward way to ma
turtv. bv sound mental and moral instruction. for
filling up its measure of usefulness, and accom-
plislring inteligently, the ends of its being
That community Is happy. in which the system
general education Is so widely dlfflsed, and so
well administered, as have seen it in the City
and County of Philadelphia.
Allow me gentlemen, before closing this COM
muncation, to tender to you assurances of my
hearty cooperation in your efforts to maintain
the faith of the Commonwealth, and advance the
welfare of our constituents. To secure the great
objects, with the more certainty, it is desirable
that the indispensable business of the Legislature
should be acted on at early period, and that no
important subject Of Legislation should be defer
red to the closing days of the session.
The practice which has sometimes obtained,
of affiXing the Executive approval to bills during
the recess, seems to me to be opposed to the poll
cy of the Constitution, while to act on them in
the crowded hours that precede final adjourn
ment, requires decision without affordmg time
for consideration,-hence a rule securing reas-
enable time for Executive deliberaton, on bills
presented to him, the close of the session, is
most desirable.
Since the last session of the General Assembly
it has pleased Almighty God, to withdraw from
the view of the American nation, Its most emil
nent and best loved citizen. After life devoted
to his country, the defence of her soil, her inst-
tutions and her honor, Andrew Jackson has
passed to his reSt,-leaving to the friends of lib
erty throughout the world the precious inheri-
tance of his example, and the consecrated MEM
ory of his services. His last moments were Sc
rene and admirable Death found him awaiting
his approach with heart expanded in universal
charity, and spirit frightening it drew nearer
to the Saviour in whom he trllsted.-That he
lived, has been the long extended theme of pa
triotic graduation; that he so died, must crown
the devout thanksgivings of the Christian.

HOPE is the last thing that dieth in man,
and though it be exceeding deceitfuI, yet it
is of this good use to us, that while we are
travelling through this life, it conducts us in
an easier and more pleasant way to our
journeys end
Hope is the rudy morning of Joy, and
recollection is its golden tinge; but the lat
ter is wont to sink amid the dews and dus-
ky shades of twilight, and the bright blue
day which the former promises breaks, in
deed, but in another world, and with anoth-
Ter sun.

No true gentleman can ever indulge re-
sentiment against female. All vindicHve
feelings or proceedings against the weaker
sex, are unworthy and Improbable. The
utmost that is allowable, when wrong is ex-
perienced from them, is the simple opposi-
ton of truth-aceompanied by regret and
entire resignation, or generous forbearanoe
as far as possible consistently with strict
self-defence. Sarcasm, obloquy, mere an
noyance or revenge of any kind, are rePug-
nant to manly character and chivalrous
spirit.

just runnin afoul on him, when the troth
fetched lump of ice and sheered off at q
tangent. The boys all stopped and looked
at the schoolmaster, some on 'em eenamost
astonished out of their breath, and Others
reddy to bust latin. Whiz went the troth
down the steepest part.of the hill. An old
log. half buried in the ice, lay acrost Doctor
Phl's path. and the boys all knew mighty
we'll what was comm, for some on 'em had
been shipracked on that log afore. "He'll

Doctor Phil ten foot down the hill, whirlin'

stopped till he went splash intu a bilin'
spring, where the cattle went til drink and
had trod it full of soft mud.
"Where's the schoolmaster :" shouted
Jim Wright, crawlin' out of the snow bank
where he had landed, and shakin' the snow
out of his hair; "cracky! if didn't think

The boys all run to the bilin' spring, and
there lay Doctor Phil Ant'ny all kivered
with mud and snow, groanin' aloud, and
tears of anger and agony startin' out of his
eyes. His thigh and one rib was broke
Phil was kind hearted man, and the boys
all loved him. He used to talk savage tn
US sometimes, but then he didn't used to
hurt us. The little boys stood round and
cried when Phil told us that his leg. was
broke. and the big ones looked sorry, and
took holt on him, heerful, and kerried him
to the schoolhouse, and then pulled him
over tn fathers on a hand-sled Our be-
loved schoolmaster never got up agn.
Long fingered our poor friend
Upon that bed of pain;
The doctors could not mend
His shattered bones again.
He called his scholars all
Around his dying bed,
And whilst our tears did fall
Thus solemnly he said:
''My pupils, fare thee well
My race is almost run;
Sadly my heart doth swell,
AS you kiss me one by one,
When down the schoolhouse hill
Again you go tn slide,
Oh, look out for that cussed log
And turn your sleds aside!'
Then bowed his head and died
The boys sobbed and cried,
And we never rid down the schoohouse hill arter-
wards.
