GOOD ADVICE,

About three years ago young man
presented himself to Mr.. CoKwIN for a
Clerkship. Thrice was he refused; and
still he made fourth effort. His perSe-
verence and spirit of determination ava
kened friendly interest in his welfare,
and the Secretary advised him. in the
strongest possible terms TO obandon his
purposes. and to go out West, if he could
do no better outside the departments.
My Young friend said he 60 to the
North West: buy 90 acres of government
Iand-or if you have not the money TO
purchase, squat on l.; get you an axe and
maitocs; put up log cabin for your
ha bitalion, and raise a little corn and
potatoes; keep your conscience clear. and
live ike freeman; your own master, with
no one to give you orders. and without
dependence upon any body. Do that,
and you will become hononored. respect
ed, Influential and rich. But accept a
clerkship here. and you sink at once all
indie epehdence; your energies become
relaxed, and you are unlitted in few
years for any other and more Independent
position. may give you place to day
and kick you out again tomorrow; end
there's another man over there At the
White House, who can kick me out. and
then the PEOPLE can kick him out: and so
we go. But If you own an acre of l'nd.
it is your kingdoms and your abin is your
casie-yOu are sovereign. and you will
feel it in every throbbiug of your pulse,
and every day OF your life will assure me
of your thanks for having thus advised
you If the thousands who so ardently
strive for places under Government would
ponder well these words. aud exercise a
sound discretion in application. thus
many young and gallant spirit would be
saved from inani,ion. to be useful to the
world. and Joy rather than grief to it's
Possessor.

Hon. OLIVER BurLER-Sir: Having
heard that some OF the people whom you
represent desire that the schools already
in existence under private or denomina-
tional patronage. may be recognized as
as public schools, under the new school
law, am happy to find, on careful ex
amins ton OF the provisions of the law
that their views can be satisfactorily
met.
Under the law there will be paid over
TO the treasurer of each city, town ana
towns hip of your county, every year, the
portion of school funds 10 which each
school corporation may. from the mum
Der OF children therein, be entitled, The
school money when once paid into the
city, town or township treasury, becomes
subject to the order of the School Trust
ess elected by ;he people. These Trust
ees have full power to recognize as pub
lie schools under the general system, any
schools now existing, provided such

have been asked if the Township
Trustees should allow the public school
houses to be used for schools continued
by private subscription, after the public
money is all expended. Unquestionably
the people of any neighborhood should
have the free use of any public school

be willing. by private subscription, TO
continue the school, or to get up new
school at any time when the township
common school cannot be kept in ope I'd

The spirit and intention of the school

in every way in their efforts 10 promote
this great work.

MAZzINI ANDHIs PRESENT PosITIoN In
December and January last the Italians
pressed Mazzini strongly to give his ron
sent 10 rising. Maddencd by the in
supportable tyranny of Austria. impris-
oned by scores and fined BY hundreds on
suspicion, they wrote that if they had to
die; thew ra ather chose TO die with arms in
their hands than TO perish immured in
Austrian jails. Mazzin urged them to
wait. In reply they asked him whether
he had sufficient pecuniary means TO in
sure a successful rising if it were deferred
to future period. He replied he had
not. Being pressed to come nearer the
scene OF action, he left England & arrived
in Switzerland with the intention of
keeping back the insurrection. 1t was
not in his power. The fight began. The
Hungarian troops refused to fire on the
insurgents. but the Germans and Bohemi
ans overpowered the bad armed Italians,
though not without great difficulty,
especially at Monza where the AuslrianS
were routed on the first onset but were
reinforced from Milan, In all Lombardy
there were not more than 5000 Hunga
rian soldiers. 2 600 of them in the for
tress of Verona. where there were also
10000 Austrians and Croats. The Hun
garirn regiments were all i'll the Romagna
and in Tuscany. An attempt al insur-
rection was therefore sure TO fail and hos
suth could not give his consent to it.
After the struggle was ever. the friends
of Mazzini who know all he dangers
which awaited him on his way either
through Piedmont 10 Genoa. or through
France and Germany. Immediately spread
the News I'm London that he was "a Milan
aad that they had great apprehensions Tor
his safely. This was telegrarhed to
Vienna. the gates of Milan were closed
for several days. and the most minute
search was made by The Police, while he
had the opportunity to escape as the
attention of the authorities was directed
to one single point. He was in Lom-
hardy, but not in Milan, and is at the
present moment perfectly safe.
