he has succeeded in making study pleasure, and
the school-room delightful resort. Being ardent
y devoted to his profession, he naturally imparts
love for study to his pupils than which nothing
be more desirable. His general system Of .nstruc-
ton meets the hearty approval of the committee
and its influence upon other schools, will doubtless
be most beneficial.
The committee also rejoice to learn, that the
school increases in numbers, the Minister of Pub
lie Instruction is disposed to transfer part of the
onorous duties of teaching to well qualified assist
ants. The committee are pleased to learn that
Miss C. Dimonds services will be continued and
that Miss Fowler, who is about to become connect
ed with the school, will devote her whole time to
the primary department. Mr.. Armstrong announc-
ed that the tuition in this department would be
'duced from $40 to 90 per quarter. 1t is quite
gratifying to know, that former pupils in the school
are coming forward as teachers.
AS the committee survey the interests of educa-
ton in this part of the world they are most forci
bly, impressed with the importance of vigorously
sustaining, and of putting forth every energy to
elevate the character of the Royal school, and her
sister institution at Punahou. They can discern
the tendency of certain elements and influences in
public sentiment and the increase of population,
which must, at no distant day, call into existence
some higher seminary of learning. The sons and
daughters of our land, must not continue to be sent
abroad, to complete their studies, unless for the
highest grade of University or Professional edu-
cation. Our schools-the Royal, Punahou and
Charity schools have already sent forth some who
have entered honorably and successfully upon the
business of life. May these examples prove but a
pleasing earnest and sure pledge of future success.
The members of the committee are confident this
much desired result will follow if the pupils of the
Royal school fully act up to their soul inspiring

AMERICAN VS.. ENGLISH RAILROADs.-The
American people number 23,00O,O00 of souls, to
whom, besides the natural yearly increasement, an
addition is made by emigration of between 400, ,OO0
to 100000 settlers, mostly in the prime of life, and
many with hard cash in their pockets. Wages are
in the States so high, and the whole population SO
well of, that they can afford to spend money In
travelling more universally and to greater extent
than the inhabitants of any other country. Intense
ly migratory, and proyerbially locomotive them
selves, the annual influx of strangers and emgrants
passing on to their settlement travelling through
the country, fill every medium of conveyance to
every quarter, and to overfowlng. Wood is to be
had everywhere for the cutting. Irish navigators
present themselves on the arrival of every ship
Land may be had for nothing-premiums even
offered to railroad projectors, by propretoIs to car
ry their lines through their properties. There are
no lawyers and jobbers to run up enormous bills in
Parliamentary contests. Economy is uniformly
consuted-cheapness always commended. The
result reluctantly acknowledged, and hastily sur-
red over by stags capitalists, and the COM
ackalls of the press, is neither more nor less
than this. Twenty eight millions of British have
1000 miles of railway, and 23,OOO,OOO Yankees
have 10000.
The English paid s25O, 100000 tor their 1000
nished 10000 miles for f66, ,654 900. In word,
British railways cost f35, 700 per mile, and Yankee
railways average f6,500, or little more than one
sixth Of the cost of our own. 1t is obvious from
these data, that if the London and Northwestern
can afford to divide l2 per cent, the line from
New York to Albany or Buffalo should yield 33
per cent; and it may, the most assured evidence
be with great safety concluded, that the account
contained in our last of American dividends rang
ing from, S, 9, and 10 to 15 and even l9 per cent
scarcely comes up to the most moderate estimate
of the probabilities of the case.-London Dis

THE TRUE SrATEsEAN-It has been Justly said
that this country is fully supplied with politicians
but has very few Statesmen" And the reason is moi
that have not the materials for the highest states
manship, but because the people have consented
to be deluded with the notion that partyism was
craftsmanship; consequently the most successful
manager was the man for the party. This has
opened the door for all sorts of political adventu
rers and gamblers-and men of TRUTH of righteous
ness, true honor, have retired i disgust from the
competition. These unprincipled men, often hav-
ing little else to do, manage to- secure party en-
dorsement in their cause, then free people are
befooled to believe they ought to support them
thus men who never did and never can make a
country truly good and great, hustle the public
veal into their own hands. The people, especially
good me1 must seek out and elect men after the
model of Claiming. He says,
''The first duty of Statesman is to build ur
the moral energy of people. This is their frs
interest, and he WHO weakens it, infcts an injury
which no talent can repair-nor should any splen
Cor Ut services, or any momentary success, aver
from him the infamy which he has earned. Lee
public men learn to think more reverently of then
functions. Let them feel that they are touching
more vital interests than property. Let them feal
nothing so much as to sap the moral convictions o.
a people by unrighteous Legislation or a selfish
policy. Let no apparent advantages to the com
munity, any more than to themselves seduce then
to the infraction of any moral law. Let them put
faith in virtue the strength of nations. Let then
not be disheartened by temporary i'll success in up
right exertion. Let them remember that while
their cotemporaries live but for day, the State is
to live for ages, and that Time, the unerring arbi
ter will vindicate the wisdom as well as the mag
nanimity of the public man who, confding in the
power of truth, justice and philanthropy, asserts
their claims, and reverently follows their monitions
amidst general disloyalty and corruption.

The demon sits in q church yard vast
And he shouts aloud with glee,
He thinks Of the present, he thinks of the past
And he thinks of his power long to last,
For the spirit of is he.
Ha ha laughs he-men call me good,
And they praise me well, no! no!
But little reck they of the power hold
With 4 will of my and heart as bold
As a Titan of old could show.
These modern reformers working their way
Right WELL as their numbers show
They pressing hard they have brought me at bay
They are thinking my power for ever to stay,
But onward Pm doomed to 60.
Oh, glorious work is mine-'Tis to throw
blight o'er the joys of all
But deadlier work of anguish and wo
Will do, and grief on grief shall flow
As the sons of genius fall.
For countless thousands yet unborn
Are doomed to be my prey:
The bands Of affection and love must be riven:
The young and the gifted, the cherished of Heaven

To eall thee mine for life, ~

(Which modern wits and fools despise,)
OF husband and of wife.
One mutual fame inspires our bliss
The tender look, the melting kiss,

Some sweet sensation, ever new,

That love can ne'er be cloysd
Have / 3 wish 2-'tis all for thee;

So soft our moments move,
That angels look with ardent gaze

Thy bosom 10 my softest home.
I'll lull me there to rest:
And is there aught disturbs my fair,

And lose it in my breast.
Have a wish-'tis all her own;
All hers and mine are rolld in one:
Our hearts are so entwined,
That, like the ivy round the tree,
Bound up in closest amity,
IT'S death to be disjoined.
