ristic literature of the day is addressed
What has become of the ponderous folio,
IN which the learning of the Middle Ages |
used to issue, TO a small and exclusive cir.
Gle, its solemn manifested Now we have |
the slender pamphlet, the popular tract,
the cheap periodical, cast forth even to the
limits OF civilization, penetrating into eve
ry nook and corner of the land often
light, often worthless, but often, too, IN
struclive, effective; written for the masses,
reaching the masses and awaking, far
and wide, a consciousness of deficiency, a
spirit of inquiry, desire to know more.
The people govern in America. Ere
long the people will govern throughout the
habitable earth. And they are coming in
to power in an age when questions of
mighty import rise up for their decision.
They who govern should be wise. They
who govern should be educated. They
who decide mighty questions should be en-
llghtened. Then, as we value wise 90
vcrnment, as we would have the desines
OF our kind shaped by an enlightened tri-
bunal, let the schools of the people, and
the teachers who preside in these schools,
and the system that prevails in these
schools, be our peculiar care.
We cannot reform the world, no, nor
provide instruction for great nation, by
any direction given to half a million of
dollars. But something, even in such a
cause, may be effected by it-something,
| devoutly believe, that shall be felt all over
our broad land. The essential is, that, if
little we can do, that little be we'll done
be done faithfully, in the spirit of the trust,
in the spirit of the age-in Il spirit not
restrictive, not exclusive, but ditIusive,
universal.
Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS, of Miss, also
spoke in favor of the bill. He said
He would admit that the Government
had no authority TO take charge of the
subject of education, land he did not consi-
der this bill as liable TO that objeclion.-
The Normal school system he considered
as highly beneficial, serving to produce
uniformity in the language, and to lay The
foundation Of all sciences. The spelling

used extensively in our primary schools,

our language in this country, than any
thing else. If we sent out good school
books from this institution, il would be of
vast service to the Country.
Mr.. D. enlarged upon the benefits which
would result to science and the diffusion
of every kind OF useful knowledge, from
an institution which would gather young
men from the remotest parts of the coun-
try, at the common point where every ia
cility for practical instruction would be af
forded. The taste of the country would
be refined. knowledge was the common
cement that was to unite all The heteroge-
nous materials of this Union into one
mass, like the very pillars before US. II
there was any constitutional objection &c
the establishment of corporation, he was
willing to strike out that feature in the bill
!, and preserve the remainder. But let us
, do something to carry out the objects o
the testator, or let US throw back the lunC
; upon the chancery court Of England.

Cure for the Bite Of a Mad Dog.--A
writer in .he National lnlelligcncer says,
that spirit of harlsborn is a certain remedy
Tor the bite of mad dog. The wounds
he adds, should be constantly balhed witt
it, and three or four doses, diluted, taken
inwardIy during the day The har,shorn
decomposes chemically the virus in,inuaed
into The wound, and Immediately alters and
destroys its dele!erionsness.-The writer
who resided in Brazil for some time, frs
tried i. for The bite Of scorpion, and found
that it removed pain and inflammation almost
instantly. Subsequently he tried it for lhr
bite of ra,tlesnake with similar success,
At the suggestion Of the writer an old friend
and physician tried it in cases of hydropho
bia, and always with success.
