And motives always pure;

Interesting Conversation ,cih Daniel te6sfer.
The eminent clergyman and teacher, Rev.
J. 0. Choules, two years ago passed season
in European travel, having under his charge
several lads. forming kind of itinerant school.
The novel plan proved very satisfactory one,
and no doubt agreeable to the boys. When
applying for his passports at Washington, DR..
c., had an interesting conversation with the
Secretary of State, sketch Of which we find
published and give it below
think the sentiments embodied in a con-
versalion with Mr.. Webster. at Was hington,
previous to my visit to Europe in 1851, are
worthy Of record.
Well, sir, notice from your letter for pass
ports. tina, you will take three o: your pupils.
| am glad they are going. You will teach
them things abroad which will be useful to
them when they return. Show them the
great farms, the noble stock let them see the
rural life of England, and learn to love it
We want to have more love for the coun-
try. We want more beauty through our hous-
es, and the lads would come home with bet
ter taste. Try to cultivate their memories as
to the localities in England. Let them nev-
er forget the places sacred 20 liberty.
The Tower is a perfect study-it requires
thought, it is no place to be despatched in a
hurried visit. 1t is history, sir. Westmin-
ster Abbey is wonderful place, not only for
what it is, but for what it is not. Smithfeld,
too, is full of glory. If ever Jacobs ladder
rested upon earth, 1t was there, where bloody
Mary made it the heaven for so many martyrs.

great men Of England.
'.rhis Journey will do the lads great good;
il will furnish them matter for thought in fu-
ture life; and if they improve this oppor,uni-
ty, it will teach ;hem what SO few understand,
how 70 grow old decen,ly. An ignorant, un-
cultivated old man is poor affair the tailor
can pad out his wasted form, but nothing ex-
cept early requirements and good sentiments

Duke, sir; he is the most remarkable man in
the country; so practiced with sterling sense,
SO self reliant; mar is nothing who is de-
penden, on himself I shall give you letters,
sir, addressed to men ] value highly, who are
ornaments to our nature. Pray make the lads
notice the attention paid to age and position !;
no where can the properties of life be learned
so well. What a destiny lies before those
two countries, England and the u. States -
