DISGIISED BLESSINGS.


God doth of times surprise hi trusting creatures
Who feed rDm OF his hand AMI call him Father,
By giving - his IN ,rcirs such strange features
They seem but judgments rather.
Thu. good Elii,h. 'mit with mo.tll fear,
when he Was threatened b, a wicked woman
Hid trembling in clve-whcre soon drew near
Brls Of an evil omen.
Perch1ncc the Prophet thought his fate wis sealed
Tat Gnd had sent prcmonItory warning;
And that the croik'nc ravens but revealed
His death to morrow morning
Put soon his doubling heart lost all its sadness,
When. the dark bird, unto his inclining,
He spied beneath their Sonihrc wings, with sladueSs
Plumage of angels shining.
Ills thus 0ur richest blessings oft have found US
When We have fed from duty light and he .vcn's;
The Birds of Paradise Rocking round US,
But in the guise of ravens.
Affections, which our trnd hearts, afiiighed
Deem emissaries from the grVc's dark portal,
Are but celestial amoners, alishted
Laden with food immortal.
Earth has no cave so deep, nor dungeon drear,
That can f,"m heavenly light the soul imprison;
No sounds dismal, without echoes near
OF music, if we listen.
The wilderness no beaten path NAV show,
No waters tricke from the barren mountains;
Yet Faith shall lead us, if we will but 90,
BY ahghway of fountains.
Then let us trust that present Hand Unseen:
f. ,ch joy denied is butts greater given.
The darkest cLouds are only sent 10 screen
The opening go,es Of heacen.

Schools in Plymouth.

A Democratic friend stepped into our
office the other day and requested us to
say something in our paper in reference to
the importance and necessity of opening a
school for the instruction of young men
and boys, in one of the rooms of the gra-
ded school building. There are already
three female teachers, occupying as many
rooms, in the building, but the largest
room remains vacant. 1t oupht. nv all
means, to be immediately occupied by a
male teacher, competent to teach every
branch of education usually taught in such
schools. 1t is duty the Trustees of the
Corporation owe their constituents to en-
ploy such teacher, on some terms. forth
with; it should have been attended to long
ago; for neglecting any longer to discharge
this important trust, the people will most
certainly visit them with their scverest di,-
appreciation. Our sons must not be allow
ed to grow up in ignorance. If the pub
lie funds cannot be drawn to pay the teach
ers salaries, in part, let it so. Other dis
trictS will get the benefit of it. We are
not certain but about rs much evil as good
flows from free schools, at any rate. In
all towns and villages they are generally
80 crowded that but few derive any benefit
from them. Certain it is, that private
schools are generally more efficient and
better conducted in every respect. and il
more expensive give more satisfaction, at
all events.
/ The fact that our town is destitute Of a
good school for young men and boys, can
not fail TO rctarl its growth and prospect
ty. 1t is a blight and rcproach. which
it is in the power Of our town authoritic,
TO remove. and the people demand them to
10 it, without farther delay.
J We have not room for further remarks
to-day. If necessary the subject will be
resumed at another time

4 PR P OSITION
To Enlarge the Republican.

To Enlarge the Republican,.
We propose, as soon as our list of coun
- subscribers reaches 1000 to increase
the size of the REPUBLcAN one column on
each page, and also lengthen the columns,
making the aggregate enlargement equal to
at least eight columns of the present length,
and this without increasing the price.
This will enable us to render the paper
much more interesting and useful, and will,
besides, reflect credit on the county. The
required number can be easily obtained,
if the friends of the enterprise. in every
neiShborhood. will only exert Themselves.
as some sometimes do to raise clubs for
Eastern papers, thus sending money out Of
the county for that which ought to be pro-
duccl at home, and would be, if properly
encouraged.
We are aware that many country papers
fall far short Of what they should bc,-dc-
pen ling upon the legal advertising of the
county for support, instead of large sub
scription list,-it seems like waste of
money to support them. But, it is undc-
nably true, that there is too great pro-
clivity in the West for sending of for
cheap Eastern publications, instead Of sus-
tanning their own county papers,-even
when they deserve it. One cause of this is
l., c,,,,,,I -, a., e,,on loo Of .ouptry
papers, generally. perhaps. They do not
contain sufficient to satisfy many who are
unable to pay for more than one paper
We propose to remedy this objection, as
soon as our subscription will Justify it.
We shall, in the event We cniargr. de-
vote four or five columns of small but clear
print every week. as a general thing, TO
