For the Register.
Educating the Masses.


Education in Republic should be gen.
eral, and embrace the entire mass and
it is much more important that its rudi-
ments should be universally difused
through the state and nation, than that a
few should be deeply learned, while the
mass are grossly ignorant. If the bene-
fits OF common schools can be carried in
to every family, the great desideratum in
this respect will be accomplished. If this
is done, we may safely trust to the intel
lcct thus awakened, TO push its researches
into the deeper mysteries Of learning, by
the establishment of institutions of loftier
pretensions. Much has been done--but
too much cannot be done, to encourage
and perpetuate system of general edu-
cation; and we trust the time will ere
long come, when every citizen and every
child of this Republic will be taught, at
least. the common rudmerts of learning
The work, however, is not fully complete
by merely furnishing food to the mind.
There must be moral training, as well
us intellectual culture The heart must
be improved, as well as the head and the
substantial virtues must be nourished in
order that they may grow and blossom in
this great field of human hopes. Indus
try, equality, prudence, courage and
obedience to law and love of order were
among the virtues which stamped the char
acter of our emigrant fathers and ena-
bled them to lay broad and deep the
foundations of the edifce of our temple
of Liberty. These virtues, homely and
rugged though they appear, are yet essen
tial to the strength and permanenOe of
Republican institutions; and we may be
certain that so far as we lose respect for,
and relax the practice of high essential
virtues, just so far are we advancing in
our progress towards corruption and de-
cay. Neither can it be amiss here to say,
that the teachings of religion have an i'm
portant and intimate connection with the
preservation of our civil rights, and the
performance of our civil duties. The
New Testament furnishes the most per-
feet code of morals that has ever been
published to man. Its beautiful and COM
prehensive morality is adapted to all
ranks and conditions of society; to all the
relations, and social or domestic duties of
life, and to all the changing circumstances
of an ever-changing world. 1t teaches
the true dignity Of man,-it inculcates
genuine and exalted self.respect, not in
consistent with the meekness and humility
demanded by an erring nature. 1t breathes
of charity, good will, disinterestedness,
philanthropy, love and peace; and any
one who will strive to square his life by
its simple rules, whatever may be his re-
wards hereafter, will feel himself to
be better and happier man. 1t teaches
the practical duties of life, and the wis.,
dom which should guide our daily conduct;
and wherever its doctrines have been
taught in their purity and simplicity, it
has ever been found an important ally in
the great cause Of human Liberty. The
great cause of christian morality should.
then, ever find countenance and support
from the citizens of free Republic.

The Third Person VS.. the First.

The other day, in one Of the Paris res.
taurants, a party Of literary men were dis
cussing the merits Of various epistolatry
styles. One of them, Monsieur A., made
fierce attack on letters written in the
third person, such as " Monsieur x. has
the honor to Inform" and so on.
Another of the party defended them main
tanning that they were ceremonious, more
polite.
THAT is good idea J" replied Monsi-
eur A. "the foundation of all pOliteness
in letter-writing, is to express clearly
what you mean to say. Now, nothing
can be more ambiguous than these con-
founded notes in the third person. Twill

Taking the note from his pocket, Mon

MISCELLANEOUS.

Strange freaks of a Millionaire.
William Beckford one of the most re.
markable men of modern times, was the
only son of Alderman Beckford, of Lon.
don, who died when his son was only ten
years of age bequeathing him West Indian
and other property which yielded an in
come equal to half a million dollars a
year. Young Bsckford's mental powers
were good, and no pains were spared in
cultivating them by refined education
Sir William Chambers instructed him in
architecture; while the great Mozart
taught him music. At twenty-one, with
the income Of prince, and accumuations
in ready money to the amount of about
million sterling five million dollars he
launched upon the world. The great tai
ent of promoting human happiness was
placed within his reach but he threw the
golden opportunity away. Proud and
naughty, the youthful Beckford withdrew
from tho active business of life, and re.
tiring to Portugal, there devoted himself
to life of luxurious ease. The first out
lay of his wealth there, was in the erec.
tion of a gorgeous palace.
During his residence in Portugal he
visited under tie royal sanction, some of
the wealthy and luxuriant monasteries of
that country. 1t is difficult to convey an
idea of the pomp and splendor of this
journey, which resembled more the calva.
cade of an eastern prince than the tour of
a private individual.
Everything" he himself says, that
could be thought or dreamed of, for our
convenience or relaxation, was carried on
our train-nothing was to be left behind
but care and sorrow"

monastery" he adds, "was gilded and
painted, tho floor spread with Persian car.
pets of the finest texture the tables deck.
ed with supurb ewers and basins of chased
silver"
The kitchen in which the dinner was
prepared is thus described
A stream Of water flowed through it,
from which were formed reservoirs con.
tanning every kind of river fish. On one
side were heaped up loads of game and
venson on the other side were vegetables
and fruit in endless variety.-Beyond
long line of stores, extended row of
ovens, and close to them hillocks of
wheaton -four finer than snow, blocks OF
sugar, and jars of the purest oil, and pas.
try in various abundance
The dinner which followed these prep
arations was served in a magnificent ga.
loon, covered with pictures and lighted up
with profasion Of wax tapers in sconces
o: silver. THE banquet he adds " con-
sisted of rarities and delicacies of every
season from distant countries" Confec-
tionary and fruits awaited the party in
room still more sumptuous. where vessels
of Goa flligree containing the purest and
most fragrant spices. were handed round.
L
Such was Beckford's mode of life during
this day.
Returning at the commencement of the
present century, to his native country,
Becktord again abandoned himself to the
selfish enjoyment of his wealth. Taking
a caPricious dislike to splendid mansion
