March. The Cleveland Herald in no.
ticing the above facts says:
"What must candid, fair men think of
this matter? Of course, that the ma
jority fear investigation. But if they are
right, why fear an arbitration ? Let
any common.sense man furnish his own
answer. Can it be that the majority are
determined to ''rule or ruin?" II they
reject the offer of mediation it will be
ruin, for blight is fast destroying the
efficacy of the College and eating out its
substance. We have refrained from en-
tering upon this matter, because one of
our friends at Hudson considered or
former remarks as an attack upon the
prosperity of that pleasant village. But
now is the last chance for that College,
and the generous donors to its funds have
too much at stake to warran. silence
1t can be made the pride of Northern
Ohio, it is fast becoming an eye-sore, a
blot upon this intelligent Reserve, and
unless this last chance is improved the
Western Reserve College will soon stand
s disgraceful ruin"

educational.
tFor the Chronicle
PUNCTUALITY AT SCHOOL.

Parents should keep their children at
school. Not two days in week, or three
months in a year, but steadily. We
speak now of those children who are
old enough to attend school, and too
young to be of material service in the
shop or on the farm at home. This is
the economical course. The large boy
or girl is ashamed to pursue the merest
elementary studies with those half their
size and age, and besides that if their
education is to reach certain point and
then close, it is better that that point
should be reached before their labor is
valuable at home. 1t will require all
the period of childhood and some Of
youth in these days to give a scholar
respectable amount OF scholastic learn
ing; and thus much every intelligent
parent is desirous of securing to his
children.
Irregular attendance is pernicious in
its influence upon the scholar. He forms
habits of irregularity, fails to become
interested in study, becomes discouraged
and ftful in his unsuccessful attempts to
compete with his classmates who are reg
ular; proves a constant incubus upon
the progress of his class, sense of which
brings shame to himself, without full
appreciation of the cause of his failure.
1t is not unfrequently the case that set
tied disrelish for school and even study
may be traced to a few days of irregu.
lar attendance in the outset.
This irregularity is pernicious in its
influence on the school. Alesson learned
by the class, and recited with appropri-
ate explanations from the teacher, is
link lost out of the chain of study, knoWl-
edge, and interest by the absent scholar.
The same explanation mutt be given at
the next recitation for the benefit of the
one scholar absent at the last, and thus
the time and energy of TIE class are both
absorbed by one delinquent member.
One of the most CRYING evils in all our
public school arrangements is irregular
ity in attendance anu tardiness at school
hours.
One leave of absence from parents,
makes the way for three days of play
ing truant, and half dozen tardy morn
ings. Absences are sometimes unavoid-
able, but generally they are to CRAFTY
the whims of children, and granted by
the parent to avoid being troubled with
repeatedly saying no. Parents, do not
complain Of your children not liking a
school when they are absent one day in
a week, tardy three mornings, and new
er see you in the school room. There
is every reason imaginable for them to
dislike a place in which they are under
lings of necessity arising from their il.
regularity, and where you seem to have
no interest but to keep them housed and
tortured without your personal visitation.

free and enlightened country, where
they will be civilized and chrislionized /;
and some of them perhaps will return to
bless their moiher-country with the glo-
rious light of the Gospel. But the most
important blessings to Africa flow from
the Piety and benefcence of American
planters. How often do we witness in
them the most wonderful displays of dis
interested benevolence When some Of
the hands on a plantation, through age
and infrmity, have become unable to la
Dor, and are no longer saleable, how often
do we see such generously liberated, and
sent as missionaries to Africai How
cheering to the heart of the truly pious TO
see a whole ship-load of sable missiona-
ries, destined for Africa; having been
ordained TO the work of the ministry, not
by the "laying on of hands" but by the
laying on of the lash; retaining fresh in
their memories (as well as upon their
backs) the oft-repeated lessons OF mercy
taught them by the overseer; and thus
abundantly qualified to teach their bar
barous fellow-countrymen the mysteries
of that Christianity which has subdued
their own ferocious passions, taught them
obedience TO their masters, and kept them
in meek submission 10 the wholesome dis
cipline of an American plantation
What precious blessings are thus be-
slowed upon benighted Africa, eternity
must tell. You will not expect me TO at
tempt description ofthem.

Will pierce the highest heavens through,
And even there my soul shall be
More joyful for this thought of thee
She folded her white hands, and stayed,
All cold and silently she lay:
L knelt beside the bed, and prayed
The prayer she used to make me say.

She did not move, but seemed to be
In deep sleep, nor stirred again.
No sound stirred in the silent room,
Or broke the dim and solemn gloom,
Save whtn the brands that burnt so low
With noisy ftful CLEAN of light,
Would spread around a sudden glow,
Then sink in silence and in night.

And whispered, she we loved was dead.

Yet strange grief before unknown,
Weighed on my spirit as we went
And left her lying all alone.
We went to the far North once more,
To seek the well ell.remembered home.
Where my poor kinsman dwelt before,
Whence now he was too old to roam;
And there six happy years we past,
Happy and peaceful till the last:
When poor old Walter died, and he
Bles ed me and said 1 now might be
A sailor on the deep blue sea.
And 50 l go; and yet in spite
OF all the joys l long to know;
Though l look onward with delight,

How TO TREAT TREES RECEIVED WHEN
THE GROUND IS FROZEN, OR DURING FREEz-
ING WEArHER.-We occasionally hear of
people being quite at a loss to know what
to do with trees received in a cold time, or
when the ground is frozen. The way is,
either deposit the packages in cellar as
they are received, OF open them and set
the roofs in earth until the weather chan
ges: or a trench may be made in the open
ground, even if the surface must lie Lro-
ken with a pick-sxe, and The trees laid in
until they can be planted. They may re-
main in this state quite safe ali winter.
Every season we receive packages OF
trees from Europe in mid winter, and we
find no difficulty in taking care Of them
q this way.-H5rE4+y,tYis.

At a session of the Trustees Of this
College. held at Hudson. on the 18th, it
was debated whether the difficulties
which have been so long embarrassing the
usefulness, and blighiing the prosperity
of that institution should lie submitted
to arbitration-the majority would not
consent; The minority then proposed that
the resignation of all the trustees should
be placed in the hands of the referees, to
be bestowed of as they see fit; the ma
jority wished to postpone decision, and
it accordingly stands postponed Until

In western wilds and far away.
Amid the waving prairie flowers,
Where Nature in her best array
Invites you to her rosy bowers:
Go there, young friend. and find home
Where Beauty springs as from her birth:
Above your head, the azure dome
Beneath your feet, the verdsnt earth.
Go there and nnd congeniaI food,
To satisfy your ardent mind.
In that broad land of amplitude,
Where Nature reyels unconfned:
Go there and Gull the choicest flowers,
And weave a garland for your brow;
Remember that youths joyous hours
Can come but once. and that is now.
There rivsrs broad and deep are found,
And springs OF water pure and good,
Which fi0E and fertiliZe the ground
OF that unbroken solitude.
There uudulating prairies vast
Are rObed in beautys richest bloom,
And forests their dark shadows cast
As broad and brown as evening gloom.
There music, too, is heard aloud,
Within those Solitary halls
The deep-toned thunder in the cloud
And rush and roll Of waterfalls.
Yet softer notes than these are there,
From singing birds on hill and plain
There mounts the lark high IN the air,
And chants aloft his melting strain.
Yet other strains are heard than these,
Within the forest far and near.
When il is shaken by the breeze,
Which like enchautment chain the ear.
A chord is struck high over head
Which ribrztes through the solemn gloom,
Like wandering notes Of minstrels dead,
Or some lone spirit from the tomb.
Ascend an sminenee and gain
A goodly prospect Of the scene
Each valley rich, each distant plain,
And river deep that rolls betEeeni
Then trace the CLASSY stream Afar,
The sun-bright rays that from it glance,
Or in its bosom every star
That nightly studs the blue expanse.
Imbibe the spirit OF the scene
Its purity unsoiled by art,
Its skies Of blue, its earth of green,
Tit models for & spotless heart
Pursue the right, the pure, the good,
To find thy God thy greatest care;
The city, then, or solitude,

Drink deeply at pure Nsture's springs,
With native truth enrich your soul;
Then to your vivid thoughts give wings,
And let imprisoned numbers roll
Let vital warmth each word infamei
Thus give the world immortal verse,
And give yourself henoeforth to fame
