WHOLE NO. 273O.

Let us. TO the extent Of our ability, labor
unitedly to exalt the Common Schools, by
manning them with competent, well-paid
teachers, and the Common Schools will in
turn promote the prosperity of the College,
and the learned professions The glory of all
the learned professions, and the strength Of
all our Colleges, are based in the intelligent
and generally felt need Of them. Quacks are
never employed by men of learning. They
pamper only to the ignorant. A united and
general effort is now needed to convince
every man by practical demonstration. that
science is subsidiary to every interest, and
that science to a much greater extent than is
now generally known, is attainable by every
man. A much higher degree of general in
telligence is desideratum. Il is only to be
reached through the Common School. When
such foundation is substantially laid, more
learned teachers will be demanded, learned
physicians will be called to treat us when
sick, learned preachers will stand in the sa-
cred desk, learned lawyers will plead at the
bar, learned statesmen will preside over the
nations veal; in word, all the thousand
streams from hilltop and valley will conspire
to swell the great Mississippi Of learning. and
roll on with mighty force toward the magnif-
cent Mexico Of knowledge. n. CLARK.

TIE EMPTY cup.

If you were to see man endeavoring all
his life to satisfy his thirst by holding an
empty cup to his mouth. you would certainly
despise his ignorance but if you should sec
others, of finer understandings, ridiculing the
dull satisfaction Of one cup, and thinking to
satisfy their thirst by variety of gilt and
golden empty cups, would you think that
these wore even the wiser. or happier, or bet
ter employed, than the object of their con-
tempt; Now this is all the difference that
that you can see in the various forms Of hap
piness caught at by the men Of the world.
Let the wit, the great scholar, the fine genius
the great statesman, the polite gentleman, IL
mite all their schemes, and they can only show
you more and various empty appearances OF
happiness give them all the world into their
hands, let them cut and carve as they please,
they can only make greater variety of empty
cups for search as deep and look as far as
you will, there is nothing here to be found
that Is noble or greater than high eating and
drinking, than rich dress or human applause.
unless you look for il in the wisdom and laws
Of religion. Reader, reflect upon the vanity
of all who live without godliness, that you
may be earnest at the throne Of grace TO be
turned from the creature and seek for happi-
ness in the Creator. The poorest Christian
who lives upoo Christ. and walks in daily fell
lowship with God, is happier than the richest
wording. Indeed such only are happy. Bo-
gatzky.

A Young White Girl Kidnapped.

In Chelsea, last evening, there was most
daring crime of kidnapping a young girl
At nine o'clock, two young men, with horse
and buggy, driving towards the bridge
hauled up their horse near the Gerrlsil
House, Winnissimmet Square, just AZ the
evening services were closing at the Congre-
nationalist church, and one OF the young
men i'm the buggy seized hold of young
girl who was crossing the square, and put
her into the carriage. The girl screamed in
aloud voice, Murder" "Let me out," which
aroused the police, boarders in the Gerrlsh
House, and citizens in Broadway, who gave
chase after the rufiians.
The men drove ut furious speed towards
the dollhouse, but finding that they were
pursued, turned about and passed into Second
street, on the Maiden road, when they out
dstanced the people OH foot, and made their
escape. Several ladies who saw the affair,
while passing at the time. state that 1t was
very quietly done The girl was supposed
To- I've about sixteen years of age, dressed IN
high-igured muslin, with II basque and white
bonnet. There was rumor that the girl
belonged in North Chelsea, or Maiden, and
was no doubt entced to Chelsea, tor the Pur'
pose of being kidnapped by the two young
men The affair, however, at late hour last
night, was involved in mystery, and the kid,
nappers had not been taken.
There ous ht to be u society formed for the
protection Of white folks las well az colored)
from being kidnapped, by set OF young
ruffans. while unprotected on the public
highways in our suburban cities and towns
1t is hardly safe for II young CIR to be out
alone, after dark, on Broadway, in Chelsea
when the avenue il filled with teams OF fasl

Beach. Boston HerdM.
