To tile Teachers Of Common Schools IN
The several School Districts IN Tie STATE
of Vermont:
1t is doubtless within your knowledge
that at the last session Of the Legislature
Of this State, an act was passed having for
its object the Improvement Of our common
schools. AS step preliminary 10 the
adoption of measures well adapted to Sc
cure the accomplishment of this purpose
in all lis parts, most completely and sue
cessfuly, it seems desirable, if not indiS-
pcnsab|y necessary, TO obtain some further
and more minute Knowledge of their ac-
tua condition, And some OF the info!ma-
ton sought can be Obtained conveniently
from no other source than yourselves
And it is for this purpose,n connection with
others yet to be named, that | now address
you, on my own behalf and that of the
county perintendents of your respective
coun:ies-respectfuIly and earnestly So
Letting you to cooperate with US, as you
can do, in no small degree, in that work
of improvement in which, we cannot per,
init ourselves 10 doubt, you feel an inter-
est.
We wish, in the first place, to ascertain
The amount of time during which the sew
eral scholars in your respective schools
shall actually attend. The most conven-
lent method to determine this perhaps will
be tho following. Write down on a sheet
of paper at The left hand side of the page
the names of your pupils, and then rule
the paper perpendiculary until you
have six spaces to the right of each
name. In these spaces you can, at eve
ming for the several days of the week,
mark with pencil the Attendance of The
pupil. At the close of the week you will
add up the number OF days which each has
attended and set down the number 10 the
total of the previous week-erass-and
set down the new total in place OF that Of
the preceding week. The following would
b. the form:
2 F: NJ H. =: ! ! + ! / ! p
If your school should have continued for
some length of time when you re-
ceive this, you will set down the
daily attendance previous, with as
much precision as your memory, or other
means will enable you to do it. II you
cannot, however, approach near to accu.
racy, you may omit this, and commence
at the time-saing in your returns at
what period of your school you commenc-
ed taking the account.
AT the close Of your school you will
make out an abstract of the vesnlls So MS
to give the number of scholars that have
attended for diferent periods Of time, nos
ling each difference of ten days in The fol-
lowing form-supposing your school to
have continued Ia weeks or II days:

THE FIRE-STDE.
Home Affections.
BY DR.. HAWKES..

The heart has memories that never die. The
rough rubs of the world cannot obliterate them.
They are memories of home, early home. There
is magic in the very sound. There is the old
tree under which the light-hearted boy swung
many summer day yonder the river in which
he learned to swim; there the house in which
he knew a parents love, and found a parents
probationary, there is the room in which he
romped with brother or sister, long since, alas
laid in the yard in which he must soon be gath
cred, overshadowed by yon old church, whittier
with a Joyous troop like himself he has often fol
lowed his parents to worship with, and hear the
good old man who gave him to God in baptism
Why, even the very school house associated i'll
youthful days with thoughts of ferula and tasks
now comes back to bring pleasant remembrance
of many an occasion that called forth some gen
erous exhibition of the noblest traits of human
nature. There is where he learned to feel som
of his best emotions. There, perchance, HI
first met the being who by her love and tender
ness in after life, has made a home for himself
happier even than that which his childhood knew
There are certain feelings Of humanity, and thos
too, among the best that can find an appropriat,
place for their exercise only by ones own fire
side. There is a sacredness in the privacy 0
that spot which it were a species of Dissertation
to violate. He who seeks w%antonly to invad
it, is neither more nor less than a villain an
hence there exists no surer test of the debase
ment of morals in community, than the dispost
ton to tolerate in any mode the man who disrt
CARDS the sanctities of private life. In the tut
MOL of the world let there be at least one spc
where the poor man may find affection that
disinterested, where he may indulge a conidenc
which is not likely to be abused.

of sections clerks and grave-diggers' fees, which
are exhorbiant. To show the difference in the
mortality in the parishes of Whitechapel and
Marylebone, it may be mentioned that in the
poverty-stricken and crowded parish of White
chapel, one person in every twenty-eight dies
annually, but in wealthy and airy Marylebone
only one in forty-the former is crowded with
chnrch-yards, but in the latter there are few or
none. This subject is one of great importance,
and deserves the serious attention of the author
tiles in the large cities of the United States
The Sabbath-day, is not very strictly observed
in London, Every hotel, tavern, g%in-shop, or
gin-palace, is open to the public after church
service is over, morning and afternoon; and du-
ring the evening these public places are gener-
ally crowded with men, women and chlldtenl
who resort to them for gin or beer. Even during
divine service the omnibusses ~continueat0 vsttle
along the principal streets, and The cdasset1sSad
not neglect to call out Clearinghouse Blanks
&C., to attract the attention of pedestrians
Sunday, too, is day which is very profitable to
the numerous "bill-stickers' of the metropolis
This Industrious class receive all their bills
great and small, from the printer at an earl
hour on Sunday morning; they then 60 over the
whole town, and wherever there is an untenan-
ted building, or a fence, they cover it e%ntirel!
with mammoth bills, Last week a bill-stickel
was fined at Guildhall for sticking one of Mons
Jellier's monster bills against the walls of TIT
Fleet Prison during the hours of divine service
on Sunday. These bills were more than mint
feet long, and some of the letters were one yart
in length. The bill contained one hundred ant
fifty sheets Of paper, and the bil-sticker was tw'
hours posting one of them on the wall. II
plead at his examination that he was not awar
that he was doing wrong by posting bills OF
Sunday.
But this is nothing in comparison to tn
sanction of Government TO the sin of breaking
the Sabbath day. 1t is well known that accord
ing to the act of Parliament, all railway plan
and maps are required to be deposited with tn
Board of Trade on or before the Both ult.-
The Both of November fell on Sunday, and g
it was vastly important, for the sake of world
pelf, that this rule should not be disobeyed, 81
James Graham, of letter-opening notoriety, wa
appealed to, requesting him to state whethe
these railway plans could be deposited on Sur
day! He replied that the Board of Trade, b
6 the direction of the Law-oficers of the Grown
would receive such plans up to twelve at nigl
on Sunday, the 30th! You will make you
own comments on this fact. Never was Sal
bath-day so lightly regarded.

Napoleon said there should be no such word
as impossible believing, and justly too, that to
the intrepid, willing and resolute spirit, the range
of the possible extends much farther than the
world, In its Incidence and faint-heartedness, i:
t W suppose and one might wish that the
phrases II forgot were also blotted from the
vocabulary Of human excuses, as being, in truth
no excuse at all, but rather an aggravation o
the errors which may have been committed
HForgat"-why this is worse, a great deal, thai
the mere non-performance of the contract, what
ever it may have been, by which you were bound
for it is a broad confession that the person anc
the promise made to thai person were not of suf
6clent imgorisaee te Esmsin in memory, anc
were dismiAsed from thought with the occasion
1t is equivalent TO declaring that 81 remember
nothing about you, when you are out of sight, y
which is scarcely to be set down in the list O
compliments. Never "%forget," then it is you,
business not to forget; the mind, properly exer
cised and regulated, rarely forgets what its own
err has to do, but forms a habit of frequently re
viewing its obligations and liabilities as it goe
along, SO that at last it seems to acquire a new
sense, which remains, as it were, unequally a
wake until each duty is fulfilled, just as SOM
men obtain power, through the force Of will, o
a%rousing themselves from slumber at any hour
they please. After a little practice of this sor
-'what have | to do to-day pit will be dis
covered what an internal regulator is gradual
brought into action, which causes one to fee
that something has been neglected although W
cannot on the instant, ~recollect what that ONE
thing is-until at last, it becomes scarcely prac
ticable to "forget."-NeaES Gazette.

His defeated troops, driyed in from all points to
their headquarters at the Garden Of the FULLER

came the assailed. Charles, terrified at the re-
sistlessness of the fury which he had excited, re-
called the execrable ordinance and dismissed
the obnoxious ministers, But it was too late for
compromise. The victorious people rushed like

Bro. A. A. HELPs :-Sir-In the last number Of
the Reporter l noticed somewhat lengthy editorial.
assailing me in the strongest langnagc, and embodyinq
more severity than | had ever anticipated from the anti
slavery press, and to which l feel it my duty to make
some reply. Without experience or ability to write
for the public, it will not, of course, be expected that
my response will be any thing more than a feeble one.
Unaccustomcd to grapplo with minds like that of my
opponent, whose whole business is to write for the in
@struction of the world, and whose able productions arc
daily going abroad to the public; whose intellect, ex.
%periencc and talents command respect, and whose SUI
perio advantages give him power to influence mind, il
is with no little d~elicacy and embarrassment that
take up my pen to reply. Nor would attempt a task
so inadequate to my abilities, were it not for the ex-
c~eelingly trying circumstances in which you have at
tackled me.
No sooner had | turned my back upon Kentucky
after my release from prison, than a class ofslayehold-
ing editors, not satisfied with the abuses already in
fictcd, assailed my moral Standing, and began, viii
greedy fury, to prey upon my reputation. This | cx
pected, as they were jealous the anti slavery cause
would acquire strength from my inhum0n treatment
and knowing, as | did, that they were not above re.
sorting to the foulest means to defend their 'peculim
institution Nor was | disappointed when the pro.
slavery press at the north combined with the south tc
give circulation to these calumnies, hoping to attach
infamy to my name, and thus destroy my influence
But when the anti slavery party-the only people il
our nation who sympathize with the class for which
sufered,-when these side with the unprincipled slave
holder to deepen my prosecutions, | am grieved anC
disappointed. 1t matters not how much or how I'm
justly | have sutfered-how bitter my Affections Oh
poignant my grief; they seem bent upon heaping
wrong upon wrong, and adding insult to injury.
Doubtless there are many things in my book that arc
exceptionable, but l had no reason to suppose that any
candid mind, after hearing the explanation, as given by
my friend at the great eastern convention, would still
persist in condemning me. But you, sir, notwithstand
ing you heard that explanation you
anti slavery professions, are lending the whole weigh
of your influence to ruin me for life. You are throw
ing it out of my power to be useful, and tanning tina
wicked flame of prejudice already existing against m
You are holding me up before the nation as a liar, an
boldly affirm that some Of the statements made by tina
Rev. gentlemen, at the convention, were false state
ments. Now, sir, | call upon you to make good thcs
charges.
You say, in your third paragraph, "We were not

London Dec. 3
As l was passing along the crowded Strand
on Sunday last, l observed large collection of
persons in st. Clements church yard. | cross
ed over and entered the yard. A coffin had just
been lowered into a newly made grave-there
were several beneath tt, and on each side of the
grave, ends and sides of collins would be seen
human bones were scattered on the fresh
turned earth around this grave. The whole
yard has been dug over and over so often that il
may be called human dust. From twenty, and
even, it is said, thirty feet beneath where I stood
to within two feet of the surface collins filled
the space. 1t is time that burials should cease
in such an over-crowded metropolis as London
1t has been truly remarked that one cause, if
not the greatest, of atmospheric impurity in large
towns will be found in the system of interment
generally practised, Grave after grave is dug
in soil so overcharged with putriscent animal
matter, tina. it is impossible to prevent the cor
ruption of the atmosphere from the Civilizations
unavoidabIy arising from the frequent up-turning
of the earth. The condition of most of the
grave yards in London has been said, for many
years, that they have not been capable of receiv'
ing the annual mortality. In some yards the
most shameful and revolving practices are pursu'
ed by individuals who mutIate and displace and
burn bodies in various stages of decomposition
to a certain destruction of the health of the
living. need only refer to the shocking scene!
which recently took place in the Spaields bu.
rial ground! 1t is computed that no less thar
two thousand two hundred and seventy tons O
human flesh and bones are put into the eartl
every year in London alone! Many yards are
owned by undertakers who resort to revolving
practices to get rid of the ~decomposed and de
composing bodies as fast as possible. The bu
rial fees are enormous, and hence the temptation
to fill the yards, and to empty them and refill
Clergymen's burial fees in London are computed
at thirty-6ve thousand pounds annually, exclusive
