districts, preside at, and aid in public ex-
aminations of Teachers, give counsel,
and sign certificates of Teachers who

thinks, might and could do, great amount

The decline of the Common School

the report closes with euIogistic refer
ence TO the Schools of the County of
Philadelphia, where the operation of the
system has been carried out most effec-

satisfactory.
The document is plainly but sensibly
written and is valuable, because its sug-

During the last week an accurate ac-
count was kept, at the old Allegheny
Bridge, of the number of foot passengers
crossing each day. FOR the week. The
average, we learn, Is TWO THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED each way; making the crossings
of foot passengers amount to FIVE THOU
SAND PER DIEM. When it is considered
that we have four Bridges across the AL
legheny, including the Aqueduct, which
is extensively used by foot passengers,
some idea may be formed Of the magni-
tude and importance of our sister city,
and the extensive communication between
the two cities. Allowing the other brid-
ges and the Aqueduct only half the num-
Der each of the old Allegheny, and we
have the astonishing number of TWELVE
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED crossing OF foot
passengers each day.
Although we are yet comparatively
young, it is in our recollection when the
only communication between the two
banks of the river was by Ferry. In
fact, the first time we ever crossed the
stream was in a fiat or scow, propelled
with poles. Very many of our citizens,
who are now active business men, IN the
prime of life, number among the reml,
niscences of their boyish days, the rather
dangerous expedition of crossing the AL
legheny in canoes to gather hazel-nuts
and other productions of nature, while ;
sharp look ont had to be kept for tht
prowling red man of the vast forests be
tween this city and the Lake. On tht
same spot where these boyish exploits
were performed, now stands the beautiful
city of Allegheny, with her twenty chur
ches, her Mayor and Town Councils, he

The Mother and her Family.
BY MISS sEDGwECK.

Philosophy is rarely found. The most
perfect sample | ever met, was an old
woman who was apparently the poorest
and most forlorn of the human species,
so true is the maxim which all profess to
believe, and none act upon invariably, viz:
that happiness does not depend on out
ward circumstances. The wise woman
to whom | have alluded, walks to Boston,
a distance of twenty or thirty miles, to
sell bag of brown thread and stockings,
and then patiently walks back with her
gain. Her dress, though tidy, is gro
tesque collection Of ''shreds and patches"
coarse In the extreme.
"Why don't you come down III wa
gon!'' said |, when | observed she was
wearied with her long journey.
"We hav'nt got any horse" she re-
piled; 'the neighbors are very kind to
me, but they can't spare their'n, and it
would cost as much as my thread would
come to-
"You have husband; don't he do a.
nything for you!''
'IIe is good mamie does all he
can, but he's cripple and all invalid
He reels my yarn and mends the chill
dren's shoes. He's as kind husband
as a woman need to have"
But his being a cripple is a heavy
misfortune TO YOU, said /.
"Why. ma am, don't look upon it in
that light" replied the thread woman, Il
think that I've great reason TO be thank
ful that he never took to any bad habits. .
How many children have your"
six sons and five daughters, ma am. F"
six sons and five daughters! What a
family for poor woman to support"
"It's family ma'am, but there amt
one of 'cm I'd be willing to lose. They
all are as healthy children as need be, all
willing to work, and all clever to me-
Even the littlest boy. when he gets cent
now and then for doing an errand, will be
sure TO bring it to me-
''Do your daughters spin your thread''
''No, ma'am, as soon as they are big
enough they 90 out to service, as don't
want to keep them always delving for me;
they are always willing 10 give me what
they can; but it's fair that they should do
a little for themselves. do all my spin
ming after the folks are absd.'
Don't you think you would be better
off, if you had no one but yourself to
provide for!"
"Why, no a'am, | don't. If | hadn't
been married, | should have had to work
as hard as | could, and now | can't do
more than that. Ny children are great
comfort to me, and | look forward to the
time when they'll do as much for me as
have done for them.''
Here was true philosophy. | learned
lesson from that poor woman which |
shall not soon forget.

Farming scenes at the west.

About 8 wears ago, a Dutchman, whose
only English was good natured yes, to
every possible question. got employment
here as a stable man. His wages SO and
board. that was 36 dollars in six months,
for not one cent did he spend. He wash
ed his own shirt and stockings, mended
and patched his own breeches, paid for
his tobacco by odd jobs, and laid by his
wages: The next six months, being now
able to talk good English, be obtained s
dollars month, and at the end Of six
months more, had 48 dollars making in
all, for the year "a dollars. The second
year, by varying his employment, saving
wood in the winter, working for the cor
poration in the summer, and making gar
dens in the spring, he laid by hundred
dollars, and the third year, l55 dollars
making in years 800 dollars. With
this he bought so acres OF land. 1t was
as wild as when the deer fled over it, and
the Indians pursued him. How should
he get living while clearing it. Thus
he did it:-he hires a man to clear and

town to earn the money to pay for the
clearing. Behold him already risen de-
gree-he is an employer! In two years
time he has twenty acres well cleared, a
log house and stable, and money enough
to buy stock and tools. He now rises
another step in the world, for he gets
married, and with his amply built broad
faced good natured wife, he gives up the
town, and is now regular farmer. In
Germany he owned nothing, and never
could; his wages were nominal, his diet
chiefly vegetable, and his prospect was
that he would be obliged TO labor as a
menial for life, barely earning subsis-
