! An ILLINOIS RoMANcE-The Rushville Ill.,
Citizen, Of last week contains the following spe.
| cimen of Illinois romance:
| An elderly gentleman had beautiful daugh-
ter, one whom he loved much, in whom all his
hopes were centered. Some two years or more
ago young mana stranger-came to board
with him and finally to work for HIM. His good
character. strait forwardness genial disposition,
amiability and virtue, soon ingratiated him into
| the good graces Of the whole family; so that
some eighteen months ago, the old gentleman
having some business to be done in Beardstown,
entrusted this young man to do it for him and
gave him the use Of his team, &c. About the
same time, his daughter having busness-some
little shopping, such as girls always have-at
the same city, and the fathers confidence in the
youth being so great, be allowed her to ACCOM-
pany him. At night they returned; safe and
sound, the business and the shopping satisfac-
torily done.
Things went on as usual. The family and the
youth mutually attached, and the attachment
constantly growing and strengthening, until
indeed, tho parents of the girl began to talk
about match between the young folks, and to
observe with pleasure the growing intimacy and
apparent fondness between them. Having such
confidence in both, the old folks retired, as in
the country they generolly do, early, leaving
the "lovers, as they hoped, to make their own
terms and to fix upon their own arrangements
Judge then Of the fathers surprise, when one
night couple of weeks ago, he woke up about
II o'clock at night quite sick, and having occa-
sion to leave his room, caught his young and
beautiful daughter, in her night robes, just in
the act Of taking her place upon the young
mans couch! Of course a scene followed
The old man wept, and scolded and tore his
hair. He upbraded his daughter, and poured
the vials Of his wrath upon the ungrateful
youth.
The youth took it oolly-calmly; indeed, un-
der the circumstances. So soon as he could get
the old gentlemen to listen, he told him that be
need not make such fuss; that his daughter
had right to share his couch, to sleep in his
arms, &c, &c, imagiEe all the poetry)
Next morning bright and early, in the Ian
guage of distinguished novelist, "a solitary
horseman might have been seen" vending his |
way towards Beardstown. 1t was that girls |
father. Crossing the river at the ferry, he hur.
ried to the court house, and by the records Of |

Soon after the schooner left the Dock Gates, q
young lady accidently fell overheard, and was
rescued by our Scotch friend, who, Jumping

safely on board the steamer. During the pas
sage she was asked what recompense she in
tended making her preserver, when she modest
ly replied, that all she could do was to bestow
upon him her hand: but, much to her grief, she
was informed that he was married man. Af-

IAe ROCK Island B1t0ges
On the 18th ult., the Committee on Commerc,
of the U. S. House of Representatives made
report to that House, in accordance with res
olution which instructed said Committee to in
quire whether or not the Railroad bridge acros.
the Mississippi at Rock Island is a serious OBJ
struction to the navigation of the river, ant
also to report what action might be necessary
on the part Of the Government to cause sale
blidge to be removed, if it proved to be ar
obstruction.
A copy Of this report from the Committee on
Commerce is now before US. 1t is q document
of thirty pages, FIVE OF which contain the report
proper, and the remaining twenty-five are filled
mainly with evidence against the bridge.
The report charges that the bridge company
have violated their charter, inasmuch as thas
charter contains clause that provides that ''the
said bridge shall be constructed in such a man.
ner shall not materially obstruct or interfere
with the free navigation Of said river" and the
evidence produced proves that it is material
obstruction.
The report states farther that the members
Of the Committee on Commerce are satisfied
that the bridge has not at all been built accord.
ing to the plans produced in court before Judge
Mclean on the trial for an injunction against
its erection. They say that the plans then de.
clared and shown by its friends have not been
followed; but deviations have been made which
render the bridge still more Of an obstruction
than it would otherwise have been.
1t is asserted and sustained by evidence, that
the position and character of the piers are great
and dangerous hinderances to navigation at
that point. The bridge stands over the lower
end Of the rapids, where the river is narrow,
and the current swift at all times; but the piers
so obstruct the course Of the water, that they
partially dam it up, and in times of high water,
at from eight to ten miles an hour. The piers
are so built, also, that the water, instead of
rushing straight through, dashes in ooliQue and
dangerous currents from one pier towards
another.
The whole tone of the report is decidedly and
empha,ically against the bridge, 1t declares
that the Committee '-consider the amount of
damage to the commerce of the river, occa-
stoned by delay and loss of boats, extra insur-
ance on them and their cargoes, and the loss
of lumber, Is fully half million Of dollars each
year.
The Committee conclude their report by de.
c,aring that .'they cannot doubt but that the
bridge, as at present constructed, is material
and dangerous obstruction to the navigation OF
the Mississippi river, but they believe that the
courts have full and ample power TO remedy any
evil that may exist in that regard. At present
they are disnclned to recommend any action
by Congress in the premises: but whether at
some future time it may not be inexpedient to
direct the proper law officers of the government
to proceed against the bridge, this committee
will not now undertake to determine"

briefly give our views OF the Ieacher as
be SHOULD BE, and close.
He should be thorough and perfect in
all those branches of education that he
undertakes to teach He will then have
no fear of getting beyond bis depth.
He shoaM be possessed of sufficient ca
pacity and tact to explain and make plain
to the dullest comprehension what he
himself knows For man may easily
possess a vast reservoir of knowled ge
himself, but having no outlet, it cannot
be expected to benefit others.
He Should bc, not only well versed in
Books, but in men, that is, he should be
an adept in the great study of "human
naturc." He should be man of the
world practical man; else he will new.
er be able to teach his disciples to bring
their store of knowledge to any practical
advantage.
He shouM be endowed with profession
al feeling and pride, and should look up
on his calling as permanent one, and
one which calls for the application of all
bis time, talent, and energies, and not, as
is too often the case, regard it rather as a
hobby upon which he can ride into some
more lucrative position.
lie should have a good share of com
mon sense, and and prudence; with juds-
ment to discern at all times his duty, and
firmuess and independence enough to en-
able him to do it, never swerying hair :
breadth on account Of the storms Of wrath
or envy which will always at some time
or other assail him.
He should understand the art of per,
suasion, which should be commonly en-
ployed; be kind, pleasant, courteous, ia,
king care to require of his pupils nothing
but that which is perfectly reasonable and
for their good, but at the same time LET
them understand that behind all this com
placency, there is a whirlwind of force and
aaHhOrify that will d,Icc them into SUBJ
mission to all just requirements, when
kindness and persuasion are of no avail.

Two OF three years ago, when the A
