Sister do you remember
Our own dear native land -
Its towering rocks and crystal streams,
Its scenes sublime and grand
Where the " everlasting mountains,"
Rear their heads above the clouds,
Down whose side the rushing fountains
Roll murmuring deep and loud.
Sister do you remember
Our chldhood's happy hours
Beside the dancing streamlet,
Softly signing o'er the stones,
By whose bright transparent waters
We've roved in childish glre,
Or gambol'd meath the birchen shade,
With footsteps light and free.
Sister do you remember
That old home by the ml'
And our own pleasant playground,
Upon thel little hill
Where we Oft have spent long hours,
In Summers early prime,
Or gathered the wild flowers
Beneath the spreading pine.
Sister do you remember
The pleasant green old woods
Where, hand in hand, we've wandered.
Mid Natures solitudes;
Where the dark fir, and the cedar,
And the tall majestic pine,
Bending o'er the silver waters,
Their branches did entwine.
Sister! do vou remember,
When twilight veiled the land,
We gathered round the household hearth,
happy, family band?
Where but one tie was severed
A little angel boy,
With mild blue eyes, and sunny hair,
Had fled to endless Joy
Sister do you remember
How our mothers gentle smile,
And our father's pleasing stories,
on the passing hours beguiled?
But now, they've b"lh departed,
And in sadness and deep gloom
We, almost broken hearted,
Weep In sile ce o'er their tomb.
ti ~
And one beloved sister fair,
Who graced the household band,
Has found grave, we know not where,
Far in stranger land:
But, oh we have the blessed hope,
TO weary mourners given,
Though they have LETT their home below,
They've found home in He ven.
Then, sister, let us strive to rise,
And when life's dream Is Per,
Wen meet our loved ones in the skies,
Where parting's known no more.
Then let us own onr Fathers sway,
Nor at his laws repine,
And, though afflicted, strive to say,
Lord, not my will, but thine" CARRIE

true Wesorn hospitality, had provided excel
lent refreshments, and seemed 10 enjoy tbem-
selves as band Of broAers, With cordial feel
ines Of fespees and friehdship, and itiw0s with
no slight degree ofoenjoymeht that I shared
with them in their festivities. Such meetings
should always be eucOuraged they serve 10
uniteus together with stronger ties Of frieNship,
and more important still, serve to awaken a
strong interest in the cause Of education and en-
courage teacher and pupil 10 renewed exertions
in their appropriate spheres. 1t is really dis
couraging TO a teacher TO labor month after
month, and TO end his labors unappreciated, and
apparently uncared for by the parents Of those
confided to his care; but when strong interest
is manifested in the welfare of the school, all
are stimulated to greater exerions than ever
In my opinion, if parents would drop into the
schoOl-room every two or three weeks, they
would find their children making much greater
progress Cd
As this communication is already TOO long, |
close by expressing the hope that all parents
and moi those of Miller Township only, will take
a deep interest in the cause of education, or in
other words, the cause Of their country. 4

The Railroad and Daily Line II assss /, Maple!

The bailroad ana Daily Line OF AaSes ', Naples
This morning delegation composed of
Maj. Donaldson, ID. b. Brown aud Jas.
Klein, Jr, Of Barry, and o. M. Hatch, Of
GriggsvilIe, Pike county, ILL.,, arrived in
our city for the purpose, of consulting with
Maj. Buckin, in relation to survey Of the
Pike county Railroad. Mr.. Carter, super
intendent Of the Sargamon and Morgan
Railroad, and who is also Vice President Of
the company rode. over the route last
week, and expressed himself much pleased
with il, entertaining the opinion that a
Railroad csuld be built bctwssh Naples and
Hannibal, on nearly direct line, and at com
paratively small cost. r n Fwy u

which may possibly be held next winter. u I.
A very important part. of their business, re-
atsd to daily line of stages to Naples. Think
Of il q mail fesn Chicago in day and a half
fer us whe have been used to wait four days
for the Eastern mail after it arrived at Chi
ge--aRa sometimes fourteen days in the winter,
when it hadts eOme up in cart, after waiting
for the Missouri river to become passabe.-
There is large amount Of travel from the Ill
inois river TO Quincy, by persons who are
obliged &c to that point, because they dc on
better Yet tte distance is double that from
Naples teHaRnibal.' OF course all that trayled
would be diverted to this point. WeMnder-
stand that emigrantt, in passing through Pike
county, westward. used to enquire only in rela-
ten to the crossing Of the Mississippi at Quin-
cy now they almost universally enquire about
the Ferry at Hannibal, and the means ofreach-
ing it. ,-sf. r.
The people Of Pike comfy are determined to
have that line of stages. They will return
with printed petition, which will be immedi-
Ntely circulated, and a large Number Of names
it is known, can be cbtainsl. Ths petition
will pray the postmaster General to authorize
the transportation Of the mails from Naples to
Hannibal. As no doubt is entertained Of favor
bic result daily lie of stages from Naples tC
Hannibal, we may hope will be commenced abou
the first Of September, next. r...sfaEs}
o., Our citizens are loo deeply interested not tt
forward this enterprise in every possible propeI
manner. The inAence Of our representative
in Congress, combined with that of Col. Richi
son of Quincy, whose district embraces Pike
county within its limits, and the influence Of
> Hon. Richard Yates, Of Morgan District, viii
doubtless all be exerted in favor of the conGr
nation of this new post route by Congress
The Naples and Hannibal daily line of stage
will pass on nearly straight line through Kin
derh,ol, Barry, Sllem and Griggsville, at eao,
Of which there is now post office. The looa
travel between these two points and IIanni5a
and Naples would be alone nearly sufficient t
support daily line of stages.

Sir: Il must not withhold the ex-
preston Of my obligations to your amiable, mag
unanimous and astute, friend, for his kindness in
furnishing the citizens Of Hannibal with an ex-
tract from DR.. Dowling's letter, which has gone
the rounds amongst the opposers of Revision
for many months. That extract contains THE
GREAT ARcvNEEr AcAIEsr REvIsIoN, viz That
Alexander Campbell and his brethren are coop
eratinginths enterprise!! IL ButMr. O. and his
brethren are likewise COO operating in the Amer
lean Bible Society-lUhich Society is now en-
gagged, or has been, in revising The Scriptures.
They arelalso cooperating with the American
and Foreign Bible Society, and if their presence
and co4operation be so offensive, concentrating
and dangerous, why don't these squeamish here
sy hunting conservatSrs of orthodoxy repudate
these societies also? 80, but" say they, Mr.
c. and President Shannon are amongst the list Of
revisors or translators." Well, suppose they
are--thcir Yarl, will be submitted to more than
twenty othepfe vsors-mcmbers of the Baptist

AN IMPosToR.-A certain itinerant, named
Eckstein or Sextein, a German, protesting
to be a convert from the Catholics, is won't
to sojurn among our brethren, giving him
self out as a German Missionary. He is
about five feet high, has black eyes, and is
generally very ordinarily dressed. He goes
on foot, alleging that his horse died. 1t is
his custom to ask assistance from our breth-
rem to buy another BY being a little
cross questioned, as to the time and place
of the decease of his horse, he can be east
Iy entangled in his talk. He generally eX-
patiates upon his suilerings endured from
his former brethren, the Catholics, and lays
much stress upon his having baptised fifty
seven papists within a year or so past
He attempts also to preach in English, but
woe TO the English ears that come within
the range of his speech! Sometimes he
gives himself out as Baptis, Missionary
and at other times as our Missionary among
the Germans. He has in many instances
imposed himself upon our brethren, and OBJ
tanned money from them which ought &c
have been appropriated to worthier objects
Let the brotherhood beware of him.
