a New ENGLAND VILLAGE School is
very beautifully described by s. s. Preniiss
who was once monarch of school
hImself-in his late address, delivered be.
fore the New England Society of New Or
leans:
'Behold yonder simple building near the
crossing Of the village roadsl Il is small
and of rude construction, but it stands in a
pleasant and quiet spot.
a magnificent old elm spreads its broad
arms above, and seems TO lean towards it,
as strong man Lends TO shel,cr and pro-
tect child. A brook runs through the
meadow near, and hard by there is an ORCH
ard-but the trees have suffered much and
bear no fruit, except upon the most remote
and inaccessible branches. From within
its walls comes busy hum, such as YOU
may hear in a disturbed beehive. Now
peep through yonder window, and you will
see hundred children, with rosy cheeks,
mischievous eyes and demure faces, all en-
gagged, or pretending TO be so, in their little
lessons. 1t is the public school-the free,
the common schooi--provided BY law; open
TO all; claimed from the community as a
right, not accepted as bounty. Here the
children ofthe rich and poor, high and low,
meet upon perfect equality, and commences
under the same auspices the race Of life
Here the sustenance Of the mind il served
up 10 all alike, as the Spartans served their
food upon the public table. Here young
ambition climbs his little ladder. and
boyish genius piumes his half ffedged wing.
From among these laughing children viii
20 forth the men who are 10 control the
destinies Of their age and country; the
Statesman whose wisdom is to guide the
Senate-ihe poet who will take captive the
hearts Of The people, and bind them together
with immortal song-ihe philosopher, who,
boldly seizing upon the elements Them
selves, viii compel them 10 bis wishes, and,
through new combinations Of their primal
laws, by some great discovery revoluiionize
both art and science.
That common village school is New Eng
lands fairest boasi-ihe brightest Jewel
that adorns her brow. The principle that
society i bound 70 provide for it, members

none need be ignorant except from choice,

lean government. Universal education
is not only the best and surest, but the only
sure foundation for free institutions. True
liberty j. the child Of knowledge; she pines
away and dies in the arms Of ignorance.
Honor, then, 10 the early fathers OF New
England, from whom came the spirit which
has built a school-house by every sparkling
fountain, and bids all come as freely to the
one as to the other.''

of our modern Solons on the subject of the
navy. We find in letter written by him
in 1871 to Mr.. Mexican, the President OF
Congress, the following passage: 81 take
it for granted that very great majority oi
the people of the United S,ates are deter
mined to support he righteous and necessa-
ry war, till they shall attain tieir grand OBJ
iect, an undisplted sovereignty. This mus,

wisdom and vigor of their own councils and
their own strength. Their policy will lead
them, if they mean 20 form any connexion
with Europe, to make themselves respccia-
BILE in the eyes of the nations, by holding
up TO them the benefits of their trade
This the United States must do by navy.
The United States must build a navy;
they have, or may have, all the materials

our commerce in its infancy was thus appre-

HE LAST MOMENTS OF RoB Roy
His death bed was in character with his
life; when confined TO bed, person with
whom he was at enmity proposed TO visit
him. .Rase me up," said Rob Roy, to /.
bis attendants, ''dress me in my best
clothes, iie up my arms, place me in my

Roy Macgregor was seen defenceless and
unarmed by an enemy" His wishes
were executed; and he received bis guest

Of his sons fFightiui crimes, in the Bracs
Of Balquhidder. He died in 1875, and his
remains Tepose in The parish churchyard,
beneath a stone upon which some adtnirer
of this extraordinary man has carved
sword. His funeral j. said to have been
attended by all ranks Of people, and a deep
regret was expressed for one whose char
acter had much to recommend il 10 the re-
gard Of all iighanders.
He left behind HIM the memory Of
character by nature singularly noble, hu-
-mane, and honorable, but corrupted by the
indulgence Of predatory habits. That he
had ever very deep religious impressions
is doubted; and his conversion t. Popery

which enloins such a state Of mind was
quoted, Rob Roy replied. "Ay, now ae

Science for May 1856, that very cxclraor-

Hampshire, Of fossils in the White Noun

River have been found some strata conta;n-
ing shells, by which. those rocks have been
ascerta'ned to he Of the same geological age
with some Of the rocks in New York. which
abound with petri(ied shells etc. Ui,bcrIo;,
hes been supposed that the rocks of New.
Hampshire had been deposited at a ner;od
far more remote than those Of New YorL !.
but Il appears now that many Of Them are ~
tho same age, and that they have been heal.
ed to such degree as to have, for the mos,
mart, lost all traces Of the fossils which ,Iev
once contained, and to have become hiphl,

LIFE OF SCOTT.

We Noticed at the Bookstore Of our towns
man, Mr. Woods, day or two since, a beau.
tiful octave volume, Of 366 pages, by Ed.
ward d. Mansfield, Esq. devoted 10 the life
aud public services Of the distinguished indi-
vidual whose name heads this paragraph
Among our distinguished military men, Gen.
Scott occupies prominent position before
the world, and 10 US Of the north, particularly,
his name is a talisman that calls up associa'
lions and trains of thought upon which every
American delights to dwell. The bright pa
gcs Of our coun,ry's history are associated
with the name Of Scott, and we have never
found man familiar will, the scenes Of tie
Niagara frontier whose pulse did not quicken
with the merest alusion to the gallant CHIEF
who conducted US thro' those trying scenes
But G. n.Scot,'s claims toregard rest otupor
his military exploits alone. His whole life
is illustrated by an every day regard to those
practical virtues which lie at the foundation
Of all true greatness, whether in military, Po'
iitical, or civil life.
The book is we'll written, exceedingly wei
got up, and illustrated by several fine wood
engravings, representing the scenes o
Queenstown, Chippewa, Lundy's Lane. &c
&c. Those who took part in these scenes
will find the work peculiarly interesting; and
its details are those with which every Amer
lean should he familiar. 1t may be obtain
I'd Of Mr.. Woods.
