VICTOR lIUdo, OtieS.
Forthe abnormal, and, we must think, some
what faulty education of our later boyhood-
few random recollections of which we pur-
pose to lay before the reader-our obligations
are certainly due to prejudices which, though
they have now become antiquated and obso-
lete, was in full force some thirty years ago,
against the existing mode of education in
England. Not that the publc-qud public
were ever very far misled by the noisy decla-
nations of the wings on this their favorite
theme people for the most part paid very
little attention to the inuendos of the peripa-
tetic schoolmastor, so carefully primed and
sent abroad to disabuse them: while not a
few smiled to recognize under that imposing
msnomer small selfopinionated cli0ue-free
traders in everything else, but absolute mo-
nopolists here-who sought by its aid to palm
of on society the ,jocoso image of their own
crotchets, as though in sympathetic response
to a sentiment wholly proceeding from itself.
When much innammatory ''stuif' had been
discharged against the walls of our venerable
institutions, not only without setting Isis OIL
Isis or Cam on fire, but plainly with some de-
gree of discomftures to the belligerents ell
gagged, from the opposite party, who returned
the salute, John Bull began to open his eyes
u little, and, as he opened them to doub
whether, after all, the promises and pro
granmes he had been reading of apic-and
span new order of everything, particularly o
education, might not turn out a .tidm and tn
authors of them, who certainly showed off tt
most advantage on Edinburgh Review days
prove anything but the best qualified person
to make good their own vaticinations, or t.
bring in the new golden age they had an
nounced. Still, the crusade against Englisl
public seminaries, though abortive in its prin
cipal desgn-that of exciting general delec
tion from these institutions-was not quit
barren of results. 1t was so far successful, a
least, rs completely to unsettle for time TIL
minds of not a few over-anxous parents, who

tials of every schoolmaster sat home" wer
beginning to make dilgent inquiries for hi
successor among their neighbors "abroad.
To all who were in this frame of mind, tn
first announcements of Pestalozzis establish
ment at Yverdun were news indeedl oferin

complete solution of problem which coul
scarcely have been entertained without muc

No change marks the scenes where so oft
have ponder'd,
When my spirits were light and my heart
full of joy;
Tie wild rose still blooms nearthe path where
wandered
And seemingly welcome the fugitive boy
The soft singing brooklet is onward pursuing
lis way through the daisy-decked meadow
so green,
And the voice of the turtle is busily cooling,
On the bough where his forefathers often
have been.
The grave yard is still by the side of the wild
wood,
The fence looks the same as it did long ago;
The poplar that shaded the form of my child
hood,
still shadows the graves of my kindred be-
low;
But time, ever changing, increases the num-
bers,
Of sheavcs in the plentiful harvest of death,
And the wild flowers bloom where humanity
slumbers,
And spread their perfumes on the colt sum-
m1rs breath.
The school-house so grim, with its fond re-
collection,
Still trumphs, with learning, DER manhood
and youth,
And the master, whose wisdom was more than
perfection,
is shedding around him the maxims of
truth
The old walnut tree with its shadows wide and
spreading,
Stands sentry, alone, where so often I've
stray'd,
When the sun, in the morning, its radiance
was shedding
O'cr mountain DER valley, DER woodland
and glade.
The church by the hillside looks lonely and
dreary;
The noss-covcred wall is all tattcred and
torn;
The bald-headcd preacher looks haggard and
weary,
And the church and its inmates look sad
and f0rlorn
But the spring-house so gray not whit has
it faded,
The churn still goes round and the butter
milk flows,
And the vine that so long the rustic seat
shaded,
Looks merry as ever and blooms as it grows.
But how sad are my thoughts when pensive
lingcr,
TO view the old mansion that sheltered my
youth,
For 'rime the agraran, has marked with his
finger
"The wreck of the past is the record of
truth -
The friends of the past, oil where can l find
them,
Tie table is vacant-the hearthstone is drear,
Like friendship and love no power can bind
them,
They claim my ailection-a tIbute-a tear.

ed round to stare at the new importation.
''IIere," said he, care four English boys
lied in this establi, ,hment, and made mem
bers of our family. Boys, receive them kind
ly, and remember that you are henceforth

| A shout from the crowd proclaiming its
ready assent and cordial participation to the
adoption, nothing remained but to shake
hands pAngiaise, and to fraternize without
loss of time. The next day being Sunday,
| our skulls were craniologically studied by Herr
Schmidt, the head usher; and whatever va
rious bumps or depressions phrenology might
have discovered thereon were all duly regis
tered i'll n large book. After this examina-
ton was concluded, a weeks furlough was al
lowed, in order that Herr Schmidt might have
an opportunity afforded him. of seeing how
far our real character squared with phreno-
logical observation and measurement, enter
ing this also into the same ledger as note.-
What u contrast were we unav0idably draw
ing all this time betwee Yverdun and West
muster and how enjoyable was the change
to us The reader will please to imagine, as
well as he can, the sensations of lately pent
up chrysalis, on first finding himself butter
fly, or the not less agreeable surprise of some
metamorphosed tadpole, when, leaving his as
sociates in the mud and green slime, he floats
at liberty on the surface of the pool, endowed
with lungs and a voice-if he would at all en-
ter into the exultation of our feelings on
changing the penitential air of Millbank for
the fresh mountain breezes of the Pays de
Vaue. 1t seemed as if we had-nay, we had
actually entered upon new existence, SO
thoroughly had all the elements of the old
been altered and improved. If we looked
back, and compared past and present expert
ences. there, at the wrong end of the mental
telescope, stood that small dingy house, in the
little mis-yclept Great Smith street, with its
tiny cocoon of bedroom, whilom our close
and airless prison; here, at the other end,
and in immediate contact with the eye, a
noble chateau, full of roomy rooms, enough
and to pare. Another retrospective peep,and
there was Tothill Fields, and its seedy cricket
ground; and here, again, level equally per-
feet, but carpeted with fine turf, and extend
ing to the margin of broad living lake, in
stead of terminating in nauseous duck-pond
while the cold clammy cloisters adjoining
Deans Yard were not less favorably replaced
by large, spen, airy, playground, intersect-
ed by two clear trout-streams-and a sky as
unlike that above Bird Cafe Walk as the in
terposed atmosphere was different; whilst, in
place of the startling, discordant KeIeusmata
of barges, Joined to the creaking, stunning
noise of commerce in great city, few out-of-
door sounds to meet our ear, and these few,
with the exception of our own, all quiet, pas
toral, and soothing, such as, later in life,

was that all. If the, views outside were
charming, our domestic and social relations
within doors were not less pleasing. AT first,
the unwelcome vision of the late head-masteI
would sometimes haunt us, clad in his flow
ing black D. d. robes-"trstis severitas in
vultu, atqueit bis fdes," looking asif he
intended to flog, and his words never belying
his looks. That terrible olypian arm, raised
and ready to strike, was again shadow
ed forth to view while we could almost
fancy ourselves once more at that judicial
table, one of twenty boys who were to draw
lots for "hander." How sothingly, then,
came the pleasing consciousness, breaking
our reverie, that q very different person was
now our head-master-a most indulgent old
man whom we should meet ere long, with
hands uplifted, indeed, but only for the pur
pose of clutching us tight while he inflicted a
salute on both cheeks, and pronounced his
afIectionate guten morgen, liebes kind, as he
hastened on to bestow the like fatherly greet
ing upon every pupil in turn.

THE DoRMIToRY.

The sleeping apartments at the chateau
occupied three of the four sides of its inner
quadrangle and consisted of as many long
rooms, each with double row of windows !;
whereof one looked into the aforesaid quad
rangle, while the opposite rows commanded,
scverally, views of the garden, the open coun-
try, and the Grande Place of the town. They
were Accommodated with sixty uncurtained,
stump bedsteads, fifty-nine of which afforded
ate to a like number of boys; and one in no
respect superior to the rest, was destined to
receive the athlect form of Herr Gottlieb, SON
in-law to Master Pestalozzi, to whose particu-
lar charge we were consigned during the
hours of the night. These bedrooms, being
as lofty as they were long, broad, and over
furnished with windows, were always venti-
lated but in the draught of air, which was
sufficient to keep them cool during the hottest
day in summer, rendered them cold and some-
times rery cold, in the winter. In that season,
accordingly, especially when the bise blew,
and hail and sleet, were pattering against the
easements, the compulsory rising to class by
candle-light was an ungenial and unwelcome
process for which, however, there being nc
remedy the next best thing was to take it as
cody, we were going to say-that Of course
but, as patiently as might be. The disagree
able anticipation of the reveI was frequently
enough to scare away sleep from our eyes
full hour before the command to jump out
bed was actually issued. On such occasions
we would lie awake, and as the time ap
preached begin to draw in our breath, furtive

it seemed impossible TO get rid of. Young
