the COUNTRY ScHO0LMhsTER.

OF all professions that this world has known,
From clowns & eotblers, upwards to the Throne;
From the grave archetect of Greece and Rome.
Down to the maker Of shilling broom;
The worst for care and undeserved abuse,
The first in real dignity and use,
Ii skilled tie teach. and diligent to rule,
Is the bland master Of a little school.
Not he who guides the legs, or skils the clown
To square his fists, and knock his fellows down:
Or he who learns the still moro bartarous art,
Yo parry thrusts. and pierce the human heart,
Is half 80 much desPisod, as the man
Who teaches us mysterious natures plan;
Yes, that good man. who. faithful to his charge,
Still tolls the opening season to enlarge
Directs the youthful mind thro' every stage,
FROM humble A B c. TO Gods own page;
From black rough pot hooks, horrid to the sight,
Do fairest lines, floating Ger purest white;
From Enumeration through an opening way,
Till dark annultos seem clear as day;
Pour Ger the mind flood of mental light,
Expands its wings, and gives i, pow'r Of flight,
Till earths remotes, bounds and heavens
bright trains
de Weighs he measures, pictures and explains:
II such his task, sure honor and regard,
And wealth & fame should DO his dear reward;
Sure, every tongue should utter forth his praise
And blessings GID the evening of his DAYS.
Yes. best indeed! with cold unerateful scorn,
BY sturdy. harsh, and daily crosses worn,
Despised by those, who to his iabors owe
All which they read, and almost all they know;
The partial parents taunt, the oilers dull:
Fer oft he's subject to the blame of all
Old men and women scandalise his name,
Their children, listening, learn to do the same
PLACID on point, the object of each sheer,
His faults enlarge, his merits disappear
Ifmild, our lazy teacher loves his ease,
The boys at school do any thing they please
frgid, he's cold, unfeeling wretch, 81
He drives the children stupid with birch;
My child. with gentle means, would mind
breath,
But frowns and floggings Brighten him to death
Do as he will, his conduct is DETAINED,
And dear, the little that he gets, is gained
Ev'n what is given Kim en- the quarter day,
They call it money lost or thrown away
Says ore, it cannot be I've sent 50 long,
1t cannot be, his bill is surely wrong.
Just Heaven
If such their fate by thy divine control,
Oh! give them strength and fortified Of soul;
Soulsthat disdain the murderous tongue of fame,
And strength to make the sturdiest Of 'em tame.

Those two abolition incendiaries (Giddngs and Hale)
threw ebrands yesterday the two houses Of Congress
The western abolitonist moved resolution Of inquiry
into the transactions passing in Washington which
brought fierce and fiery debate the part of the south
en members-in the course of which, Mr. Gddngs was
compelled to confess the questioning Of Messs
Venable and Haskell that he had visited the three pira
zeal kidnappers confined in jail ana offered them
counsel. The reply Of Mr.. Toombs of Georgia, was
scorching to an intense degree
The abolitionist John p Hale threw 6re.brand req.
oiution into the Senate, calling for additional laws to
compel this city to prevent riots This also gave rise
a long and excited debate.
No question was taken in either house before thev
adjourned But in the progress of the discussion in both
houses some doctrines were uttered which are calculated
to s,artle the friends OF the Union Gddngs justified the
kdnappers and conended that though the was legally
forbidden, il wasno morally wrong! Mr. Toombs brought
home the practical Consequences Of this doctrine to the
member from Ohio, in most impressive manner
Hale, of the Senate, whilst he willing to pro-
tec the abolitonss, expressed himself willing to relax
the laws and weaken the protection which given to the
slave property in this District Mr. Davis of Massachu
sets, held the strange doctrine, that while he would not
disturb the rights OF the slave holders, he would no,
cease to discuss those rights AS if Congress- ought to
discuss or to protect right discuss domestic institu-
ton OF the southern States with which they had no right
to Interfere Why discuss. when they cannot act Why
first lay down abstract principle which they intend 10
violate in practice
Such fanatics as Glddings and Hale doing more
mischief than ever they will be able to atone for Their
incessant and impertinent ntermeddlng with the most
delicate question in social relations is creating the
most indignant feelings in the community The fiery dis
cussions they are exciting are calculated to provoke
the very riots which they deprecae. Let these mad
men 5oebear, il they value the tranquility of our
try and the stability Of Union. We conjure them
10 forbear their msddsned, parricidal hand.
