For The Cecil Whig.
The Close of Half a Century.

The first half Of the nineteenth CEN
fury has just closed, and we are natural
ly led to reflect on the events that have
occurred during that period. In the his
tory OF the Improvement Of the cond-
ton Of man, and the advancement OF
science, and of discovery, and inven-
ton, it has been a period of uncommon
progress. Before the commencement OF
the present century the Steamboat was
unknown. Now the steam engine turn
ing at its cranks the paddle wheels OF
lnnumerable boats. may almost be said,
to be the pioneer of civilization; climb
ing up against the current of streams
heretofore deemed unnavigablc, ard
carrying all the arts of civilized life in
to remote and barbarous regions, and
adding facilities to commerce, that a
century ago would have been deemed
wild and visionary. At that time a voy-
age across the Atlantic occupied months;
now the mighty engine, moving with
the power Of one thousand horses, pro-
pels the gigantic steamer across the At
lantic in fortnight, "Walking the wa.
ters like thing oflife"- braving adverse
currents, raging winds and the mountain
pillows of old Ocean,
itsrcstlcsshcartetiil beating through the Storm,
and thus virtually bringing into close
proximity the American and European
continents, and cementing the bonds OF
interest and common feeling between
nations hitherto deemed distant, and OF
difficult access; and at the same time difiu-
sing knowledge respecting the blessings
of free government among the oppressed
and doWn-trodden nations of the Old
World.
Within the last half century level
railways have been substituted for the
turnpike and common highways of for
mer times, and the rapid car has taken
the place ofthe tedious stage coach-the
expense of travelling has been greatly
reduced, while distant places are almost
brought together; thus bringing distant
portions Of the community into almost
daily intercourse and thereby tending to
dissi pate those prejudices, which distant
sections are too prone to entertain against
each other.
When the mail-stages of the last GEN.
fury were superseded by Steamboats,, it
was hailed as an important era IN the
speedy diffusion ofintelligence through
out the community, but by the use of
railways that speed has been doubled,

For The Cecil Wig
THE SCH0OL-MASTER.

Among all the vocations and callings
which engage the attention ofmen there
is not, perhaps, more important one
than that of the school master; and yet
there is not less neglected, and less
profitable one. Upon us, who are etcr-
nally writing and preaching about the
benefits and blessings of education, this
is indeed a sad commcntary-an evil
which we should deplore, and strive to
remedy. 1t goes to prove that our asser-
tons about the general diffusion of intel
ligence among the people being the only
safeguard to the freedom and perpetuity
of our institutions, are false-are not be-
lieved by us; or, that we are SO mercen-
airy, we are willing to sacrifice the priv
ileges we enjoy, for the qualification of
our avarice and cupidity.
TO sustain our charge We do not wish
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-01-11

to, nor will We, at present, enter into an
elaborate argument. Those who feel dis
posed to cavil, have but to take a view
of our present educational systemic
visit our school houses, to be convinced.
But few years ago the school master
was looked upon as drone in the great
social hive-an idler-anuisance, almost
and was tolerated, only when he was
willing to labor for a bare subsistence.
The consequence was we had for teach
ers few exotic and itnerant beings,
who, being too lazy to perform manual
labor, We're driven TO school teaching for
a scanty support. Public sentiment is,
however, undergoing change. But we
are still far behind the wants and neces-
stiles of the age.
Who, at the present time occupy a
majority of Our school-houses? Persons
ignorant of the elementary principles of
instruction. Persons barely acquainted
with the rudiments of reading, writing
and ciphering. And why is this Be-
cause we take no interest in the educa-
ton Of the masses. Because we are I'M
willing to pay enough to justify scholars
linen of genius, in engaging in the oc-
cupation; and because we view the
School-Master in an unenviable light.
This is all wrong. | hold the School
Masters mission to be noble. The du-
ties he has to perform are onerous, and
his reward should be commensurate
Herewith. If we wish correct views
and opinions to be instilled into the
minds of our youth we must encourage
those who are capable of imparting in
iormation-Who are competent, and
qualified to teach, to undertake the thank
less and labogious Office. If we wish the
youth Of our land to be trained M in a
manner That may conduce to the welfare
and advancement of Our country end OF
humanity, we must engage more active
ly in the great cause of education. We
must remember that early impressions
are the most lasting, and that what we
learn in childhood, and from our early
instructors we generally carry with Us
! through life. If we can but awaken a
proper feeling on this subject we are
confident all will be well for when men
are alive to their own interests they
generally know how TO advance them.
But if we are willing to remain in a state
Of torPidity, and suffer men who do not
feel the weight of the responsibility rest
ing upon them, to lay the foundation of
childrens' education, we must not grum-
bic when their vicious conduct-the eff
feet Of an injudicious youthful training
is brought home, and laid at our TIRES

Where rears no sculptured monument
There grass and flowers wave

They laid her down to slumber
In this lonely quiet spot,
They raised no stone above her,
No epiIaph they wrote;
They pressed the fresh mould DER her
As earth TO earth they gave
Their hearts with anguish bursting,
They tuned from Mary's grave.
She knew not much Of grief or care
Ere yet by Deaths cold hand.
Her soul was snatchcd from earth away
To join the spirit band:
Her mild blue eye hath lost its CLEAN,
No more her suficrings crave
The h1m Of pity. but the tear
Falls oft DER Mary's grave.

who have loved her well,
And drop one silent, sorrowing tear

To lay the tribute of 4 tea,

JENNY LIMBS WEALTH.-A cores.
pendent Of the Home Journal has writ
ten short article which is going the
rounds OF the papers stating that Jenny
Llnds wealth amounts to 100000.
NOW we have the following facts from a
reverend gentleman who knew her well
in Sweden, and to whom both in Europe
and America she has impaired with the
most childlike confidence every particu-
lar in relation to her pecuniary affairs, as
well as to her future prospects and inten-
tons.
Jenny Lind has neither a sister nor
brother living. She lost a sister some
years ago, but never had a brother, not
withstanding the numberless stories to
the contrary which have been circulated.
Her parents are both living in quiet and
retirement at her native city, Stockholm,
being supported by an adequate sum put
aside for that specific purpose by an af-
fectionate daughter.
Jenny Lind's annual income from pro-
perty which she has laid by, is less than
SIX thousand dollars, (not SO much as she
could make at single concert,) and she
is fully determined never to increase it,
for every farthing other income and earn.

EprroRs GETTING DowN.-The Speaker Of
the Massachusetts Senate, Mr.. Henry Wilson.
was lately editor of the Boston Republican. The
Clerk of the Senate, Chauncey L. Knapp, was
editor of the Lowell American. The Clerk Of
the House, Lewis Josselyn was formerly editor
of the Bay State Democrat, published in Boston,
and is now editor Of the Bay State, published in
Lynn. All these men possess talents of high
order, and are understood 10 be men of correct
habits; what in the deuce could have knocked
them down so suddenly, is more than we shall at
tempt to guess. Possibly disappointment in love
affairs may be at the bottom Of it.

is much to be done, and perhaps you are
weak-handed, but stick to it steadily, and
you will see great effect, for a constant
dropping wears a stone.

which may be valuable to him all his

Learn all you can, and you will live
