VALUE or A ScHooLM AsrER.--Th is no Office
higher than that of teacher Of youth, for there il
nothing on earth 80 precious as the mind, SOUL and
character Of the child. No Office should be regard
ed with greater respect. The first minds In COM
munity should be encouraged to assume IT, Parents
should do all but mpovcrish themselves, to induce
such to become the guardians Of their children.
They should never have the least anxiety to accu-
mulatc property for their children, provided they
can place them under Influences which will awaken
their faculties, inspire them with higher principles,
and fit them to bear manly, useful, and honorable
part in the world. No language can express the
folly Of that economy which, TO leave fortune to
. child, staryes his intellect and impoverishes his

A Coon SToRY.--Two chaps came in contact
at one OF our restaurants some time since, and
were regaling long "nine," when the mud and
bad roads became the topic Of their conversation,
One observed that several teams were stuck in the
mud, axle-tree deep, and that he saw twenty yoke
OF oxen straining every nerve, but without effect
The other, no doubt, thinking that very tough
yarn, replied: NJ. y ~.
" That when he was coming to the city, he saw
man sitting ON the fence cracking his whip and
yelping and bawlinga at furious rate. He approach
cd him and inquired what was wrong?n rf#}lr,
:" Oh, nothing mdch" replied the teamster
"only (pointing to the road) i have wagon and
four yoke of oxen In the mud, and the plaguey
brutes won't pull bti" tes a.r
AT this moment an old Hoosier entered, who
heard only the winding up of the story, drew up
q chair, and commenced yarn about what he had
seen. . sEfs
Says he, Friend, were you ever on the Ameri.
can bottoms? crossed there once, and on wa
ding through the mud, which, as matter Of course
was not the best walking kicked out a hat, when
q voice, which said Ff
"Quit that old fellow" saluted my ears
Looking around and seeing nothing, conclul-
ded TO give 1t another kick, which did when the
same voice was heard to exclaim:
Stop, you're kicking my hat y ss
here discovered that man was sticking in
the mud, and observed:
"Old fellow, you had better be getting out Of
that before night or you'll freeze to death n ri

Not CompIimentary.

The New York Express has given fair notice
to its readers that in future 1t will publish as
little as possible Of the debates in Congress, un
less they improve In quality 1t says:
"The interpolations--as the French call our in
terruptions--are so numerous, SO nsipid, 80 obvi-
ously designed by an honorable member merely to
have his name in print-that the pursuit of an idea
ID like seeking grain Of wheat in mountain Of

are carried on, and for the purpose they are car

WoMAE.-Perhaps a more just and beautiful
compliment was never paid to woman than the
following by Judge Story:
The honor, to the eternal honor Of the sex, be il
said that in the path Of duty no sacrifice is with
them too dear, high or low. Nothing with them
is impossible, but to shrink from what love, honor
innocence, and religion requires The voice Of
pleasure or of power may pass unheeded---but the
voice of affection never. The chamber of the sick,
the pillow Of the dying, the vigils of the dead the
altar of religion, never missed the presence of the
sympathies Of Woman! ss.
Timid though she be, and so delicate that the
wind of heaven may not too lightly visit her., on
such occasions she loses all courage which knows
not and fears not consequences Then she displays
that undaunted spirit which neither courts difficult
ties nor evades them; and that patience in suffer
ing which seems victorious even over death itself.

the positions assumed BY the meeting; and
10 therefore not deemed Necessary to publish.
The following was then adopted: ..,
Resolued, That the proceedings of this
meeting be signed by the officers, and ptblish-
ed in the city papers, and in the papers pub
lished along the line of the railroad from
Columbus to Wheeling; and, also, in the

CArrAL FOR Youse MERCHANTS. 1T is
consolation for oil right minded young men
in this country, that though they may not be
able to command as much, pecuniary. capital
as they would wish to begin business with,
yet there is a moral capital they can have,
that will weigh as much as money with peo-
pie whose opinion is worth having. And it
does not take long to accumulate a respect
able amount of this capital. 1t consists in
truth, honesty apd integrity; to which may
be added decision, frmnsss, courage and per-
severance. With these qualities, there are
few obstacles which cannot be overcome.
Friends spring up and surround such young
man sif by magic. Confidence flows out
to him. and business aceumulates on his
hands. in q few years such aayoung man
is IN advance Of many whs started with him..
Moral capital is the thing after all.---Hrnt's
