mending its use to ali who may be suffering from
that dreadful malady.

TIE TEXTBOOKS OF THE PRIMARY SCHOOLS.
A subscriber, who writes that he is poor
man. and is Immediately interested in the
matter, complains Of the grievous hardship
put upon him by the frequent changes Of the
textbooks used in our public schools, the pro-
priety Of which, he thinks, cannot be justified.
lie says that books, for which he recently gave
20 and 81 cents each, by direction of the school
authorities, are now 10 be thrown aside for
others costing as much, and that the primary
books, which were lately in the hands Of his
elder children, though well kept, win not do
for the younger ones, owing to the change or
dered.
We thus give publicity TO his complaint, in
order that the proper reply may be made for
the information of the public. Our public
schools should be the pride of Washington,
and can hardly be commented on too freely.

cornell Telling them ss they approached. When
some eight or ten of them were laid before him,
a feeling Of awe seemed TO seize hold OF the as

most sovereign courage darted from the frey eye
and US it pierced that of the enemy, he seemed to
be transfxed. In voice of thunder, Crockett
answered, "Surrender! Mol avn an American"
and as he spoke he sent ball through the para
kZed foe. He appeared for q moment like
wounded tiger, Slrengthe med nd buUyeG by every
additional wound; now hewing them down with
his we'll tned sworI-neXt dealing death with his
firearms. His person literally drenched with
his own blood; his strength must soon yield to its
losses. Yet such physical power wrought TO the
highest degree of excitement can perform inc redi-
BILE progldieS. This was the last concentrated
energy OF a powerful man, aroused, animated aud
guided by one Of the modest attributes OF man
love OF liberty. He knew for " hat his life was
about TO be sacrificed; that devastation and butch
cry would follow in the footsteps Of his heartless
foes, that he would he sacrificed to Sat!ate the de-
