sower in the parable sowed good seed but
that only which fell upon good ground bore

Julia Westcot understood human na-

and prejudice from the minds of her pupils,

the consequences Of ignorance taught
them their own capabilities, and adapted
her instructions TO their capacities and ue-
cessiiies Aud thus she went on. year al

harvest,
From many happy home and high

Hungary Crushed.

We draw our breath heavily, (says the
Lancaster Union & fribune) as we write
these melancholy words. Our hearts heye
been with the brave Magyars through all
their terrible and unequal struggles but
at the same time our fears have gone hand
in hand with our hopes. 1t seemed indeed
as if the God Of Battles must take sides
with kossu,h and his heroic band. IL
seemed indeed as if the arm OF the Almigh.
ty would have been made bare in his de-
fence; and that the enemies Of Liberty
would have been arrested in their unholy
work. By some miraculous interposi,ion of
Heaven. But the time is not yet. An all
wise and far seeing Providence has wiIled
that i, shall be delayed for season. The
dear blessing Of Freedom, for which The
brave Hungariaus Tough. and prayed, can
not be had without still dearer sacrifice
Fhe contest between Republicanism and
DesPotism in Europe has but begun and
the poor orphans of Liberty must make up
their minds to ''bide their ,iu,e," cheering
themselves in the midst of their despair,
with the glorious recollection that
Freedoms battle, once begun.
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though bafiied on, Is always won."

DEAR SIR: Whilst | consider myself
honored By the Board Of Officers and Man
ayers Of the American Sunday School
Union, in being placed nominally at their
head, | Gun not repress fear that, in ac-
cepting the position, may stand in the
way Of some one Of higher merit and of
greater usefulness.
The more | reflect upon Sabbath schools,
The more deeply am impressed with their
Importance. Education without moral
tanning may increase national knowledge.
but il will add nothing TO national virtue.

made some years ago by Guizot, ii ap
peared that ia those departments OF France

reports il is shown, in Prussia, Scotland,

sia and Scotland, criminal offences hay.

The days when we were young,
How we rOmPed from nom to night,
Until our old house rung
Those days were precious days, Willie,
The skies seemed ever clear,
We ate our bread and butter then,
Nor dreamed Of better cheer.
Do you recollect the thick stale bread,
And the butter scraped thereon
How we held it slanting owards the light,
Hoping the butter shone
And all the little birthday feasts
Our darling moher gave,
10 the noisy elves she dotted on.
And would have died to save
Do you forget that dear old home,
With not one inch Of yard!
Do you forget our ancient haunts
For me it would be hard
The cellar, garret, Parapet.
The play loom and the leds-
On which we made our garden-ground
And sOwed our mustard beds
They all are present to my mind,
With them my thoughts ! fill,
Then dream OF them, and wake to find
lis but phantom still;
dream, too, Of little band
Once clustered found our fire,
OF blushing eirls-O.e brilliant boy,
The image OF his sire.

Liquor Expenses.

Few people realize the expense which every
State has to bear in consequence OF tbs use OF
ardent spirits. Even in Massachusetts, which
is the most temperate State in the Union, the
expense is According to statistics
recently furnished, that State supports 1864
paupers that were reduced to pauperism by in
temperance. The yearly expense of support
ing these is more than halfa million of dollars.
This number constitutes more than half the
paupers of the State. Add to this the cost of
prosecuting criminals, made such by intemper-
ance-the cost of liquor itself, the waste of time,
the sacrifices and losses resulting from the use
of liquor, and we should have a yearly cost of
several millions of dollars to Massachusetts
alone in consequence of the liquor nsed in the
State.
If Massachusetts, spends or sacrifices several
millions yearly for liquor, what amount, does
Louisiana sacrifce?. Could we know the
amount it would astonish even the most credu-
lous. We honestly believe that our State sacri-
fees yearly more than five millions of dollars
on account of alcoholic liquors used by our citi-
zens. These sacrifices would be sufficient, if
turned into the right channel, to give a COLLEGE
ate education to all the children of the State,
and all the children of foreigners that may be
brought into the State. Alcohol has done more
to PROSTATE the enterprise, ruin the prosperity
and undermine the health Of our citizens than
all other causes combined. His rayages have
been frightful, andif our citizens were but to
open their eyes to these things they would see
it.-Panters' Banner.

MASSACHUSETTS FoREvER.-Itis we'll known
that the most desperate efforts have been made
by the democrats and free sellers of Massachu-
sets to defeat the wings in the election which
has just taken place. John Van Buren, visited
Massachusetts to aid in bringing about a coali-
ton similar to the union in New York. Every
measure was adopted that could aid in uniting
abolitionism, free soilism and,every South-hater
and democrat against the wings, but the staunch
and intelligent Taylor wings of Massachusetts
stood up to their principles and their party
fearlessly, and routed the infamous coalition.
They lacked but a few thousand votes of a
complete victory over every thing that opposed
them. Briggs, the wing candidate, received
more than twenty thousand votes above the
