Tie School Questioa.-The New York
ETeemanS journal says -
AT any cost at any sacrifice, we must de-
liver the children, over whom we have con-
troll, from those pits of destruction which lie
inyitingly in their way, under the name of
Public or District Schools We must, wher-
ever there are enough Catholics together to
render it possible, organize Catholic Schools.
Where this is impossible, let parents ,cih-
drGto their children from these places, where
they are certain to learn evil, and probably
very little but evil, and, if they cannot have
them taught elsewhere, let them be sent to
honest labor, or kept from the ways of the
DESTROYER under their parents eyes. This with
drawal of Catholic children eperychere from
the Goddess school should be their first step
it is lamentable that it has not long ago
been taken. Next We must set to work, pa
tiently, calmly, resolutely, perseyeringy, to
break from our necks the yoke Of State despo-
tism, put on them by Jacobins, in the shape
Of the school system in this and other States. =

Meagder's El0quence.-We know of no
finer specimen of eloquence, than the follow
ing extract from Mr.. Meaghor's lecture upon
Australia, it is not, however, superior to other
portions of his lecture:
"Gold, which has caused many brain, to
ache, has blistered many hand, has broken
many noble heart has wounded many a
soaring soul, and clinging to it has brought it
to dust; gold, which has bought the inte-
gritty Of the statesman, and led his wisdom
captive; gold, which has silenced the tongue
of the orator, and bought the luscious flatter-
les Of tho poet; gold for which, in tho gay
saloons OF fashion, many fair and noble girl
has plighted the vow which consigned her
life to bitterness and hooked around her ra-
diant neck the snake which swells her veins
with venom; gold which has stolen into the
councils of the struggling nation, has bred
discussions among her Chiefs has broken the
seal Of her most sacred Secrets has forced the
gates Of her strongest citadels, has bought the
evidence which led her apostles to the scatfold,
has bought tho votes which made over her
inheritance to Others and her glory to strange
people; gold, which has led the traitor to the
garden and with kiss betrayed the Redee
mer Of the world gold which in many shapes
has stepped with stealthy tread or riotcd
amongst men; which has been the fever the
Madness the despair-has been in turn and
quick succession, they spy, the swindlor, the
perurer the assassin--the foe Of innocence, the
blight of beauty, the bane Of genius; gold has
become fountain of life, joy and freedom
the serpent has been transformed into bios
somed wand. Lucifer has become the NOR,
ming star. To you the citizens of America
it must be pleasing indeed to behold new
Republic raising up to share with you the la
bors and the glories of the future before which
the conceit of the old world shall be humbled,
and in the light of which humanity shall grow
strong"

POETRY.
THE Old GRHST HrELE.
BY r. II. sT0DDARD.

The grist mill stands beside the stream
With bending roof and leaning wall
30 old, that when the winds are wild
The miller trembes lest it fall
But moss and ivy, never serc,
Bedeck 1t DER from year to year.
The dam is steep, and weeded green:
The gates are raised, the waters pour,
And tread the old wheels slippery steps,
The lowest round forever1nore
Methinks they have a sound Of ire,
Because they cannot climb it higher.
From morn till night in autumn time,
When yellow harvests load the plains,
Up drive the farmers to the mill,
And back anon, with loaded wains
They bring heap Of golden grain,
And take it home in meal again.
The mill inside IS dim and dark,
But peeping in the open door,
You see the miller fitting round,
And dusty bags along the floor;
And by the shaft and down the spout
The yellow meal comes pouring out.
And all day long the winnowed chafr
Floats round it on the sultry breeze,
And shineth ike settling swarm
Of golden-winged and belted bees
Or sparks around a blacksmith's door,
When bellows blow and FORCES roar.
love my pleasant quaint old mill
1t minds me of my early prime:
It's changed since then, but not so much
AS am by decay and time
Its wrecks are messed from year to year,
But mine all dark and bare appear.
l stand beside the stream of life:
The mighty current sweeps along,
Lifting the flood gates of my heart.
1t turns the magic wheel Of song,
And grinds the rpened harvest brought
From out the golden field Of thought.

The Turn Of LJe.-From forty to sixty,
a man who has properly regulated himself

The Turn Of Lye.-From forty to sixty,
a man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime Of life.
His mature strength ofeonstitution renders
him imperyious to the attack of disease and
experience has given his judgement thesound-
ness of almost infalhbilfy. His mind is res
dilute, firm and equal, he assumes the mastery
over business, builds up competence on the
foundation he has formed in early manhood
and passes through period Of life attended
by many Qualifications Having gone a year
O. two past sixty he arrives at critical pc
rod of existence; the river OF death flows be-
fore him, and he remains at Il stand still But
athwart this rNeris a viadact called the Turn
Of Life" which, if crossed in safety leads to
the valley of "Old Age" round which the riy-
er winds, and then floats beyond without a
boat or eauseway to effect passage. The
bridge is, howeyes, constructed of fragile ma
terials and depends upon'how it be trodden,
whether it bend or break. Gout, apoplexy.
and other bad characters, are in the vicinity,
to waylay the traveller, and thrust him from
the pass, let him grid up bis loins, and pro-
vide himself with fitting staff, and he may
trudge on in safety with perfect composure.
To quiet metaphor, "The turn of Life" is
turn either into prolonged life or into the
grave. The systems aud powers, having
reached their utmost expansion now begin
either to close like flowers at sunset, or to
break down at once. One injudicious stimu-
liant, single fatal excitement, may force it
beyond its strength-whilc careful supply
Of props, and the withdrawal of all that tends
to force a plant, will sustain it in beauty and
in vigor until night is entirely set in ['rhe

HEADING THE CURCULIO,

Last spring | had two plum trees in my
garden land only two) that blossomed; about
the time they were in fun bloom, made
ring of tar around one, at a convenient dis
lance from the ground, and then kept up q
daily watch of the plums as they increased
in size. When they had attained about the
size of large pea discovered that upon
one or two, the curculio had commenced its
work. then spread sheet upon the ground
and gave two or three sudden jars upon the
tree, and brought down two of the depreda-
tors possum-like, which Immediately des-
patched. Upon hooking at the ring Of tar, I
found it had become sufficiently hard to adj
mi, an insect to walk over it with impunity.
| then renewed the tar and kept it moist, du-
ring tho remainder of the season. found
no more curcuios upon chat tree, and the en-
tire fruit (save one or two plums injured by
the insecD came to maturity. The Other tree
(haying dropped its fruit the year before, in
consequence of the operations of the curcu-
lio) died before it was out of blossom.
Tar is probably the best thing that can be-
used to prevent their ascent, it would be well
to first tie something around the body of the
tree of sufficient size to prevent the tar from
running down rs much us possible, and to
keep it moist and sticky during the season of
the insect, 1t should be applied to every
plum tree in the noighborhood, or the insect
after it has attained sufficient size, can and
viii fly from one tree to another.

On looking over, he occasionally found

ITO ID. Ditto" Not knowing the mean
ing of the term ditto" he concluded the ac-
count was not correct, and posted off home
to inquire into the affair.

and pounds of ditto Now | should like to
know what you have done with so much dit

dudgeon that he should be charged with
things he neverreceived.
"Mr.-' said he, "my wife says she never
had a pound ofditto in the house in her life. ;"
The merchant thereupon explained the mean
ing of the term, and the farmer went home
satisfied. His wife inquired if he had found
out the meaning of ditto. Eyes" said he,

VERY RIcH,-A correspondent at Burks-

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I think the following too
good to be lost A staunch democrat in this
neighborhood, during the MEXICAN war, was
called upon to pray at a regular church meet
ing, upon which he perpetrated the usual form
upon such occasions, with this addition: 30,
Lord, be with our army in Mexico; whether
it be right or wrong, bless it. We, of the de-
mocratic party are charged with making a
war for conquest, but we believe it TO be a
war of defence But, 0 Lord, we would not
enter into an argument on the subject before
you, but for further particulars would refer
you to the Presidents Messages.
This.was brought to mind by hearing the
same brother before an association a few days
since, make the following speech:
Il would urge upon YOU, brethren, the Ia
king of the Western Recorder" turning to the
delegation from a church in Tennessee" and
you, brethren, ought totake it too, as the in
terests of the church in Kentucky and Tenes-
see are very closely allied, and viii become
much more so upon the completion Of the
DanyilIe and Meanwhile Railroad, which, l
pray God, will not he long, as | have about
fifteen thousand dollars involved in that en-
terprise.- HesterR Recorder.
