too uuAjndfui Of the Importance of pro-
perly cultiyating and quieting the spirit Of
inquiry in those entrusted to their care
Many OF those who speak IN the most glow
ing terms of the benefits Of education, do
Yet most efectually crush the germs of
curiosity which form so important and
promising an elementin the youthful mind.
In order that We may the more clearly see
the benefits which curiosity confers, let US
suppose two youths of like advancement
ana mental capacity,-with only this diff
ference, that one belongs to the inquisitive
and the other non-inquisitiye class,--to be
placed under the care of the same instruc-
tor, and it is not difficult to foresee which
Of the two Will advance the more rapidly.
While the one is learning facts-which, by
the way, is very desirable accomplish
meut-thc other will be led by curiosity
not only to learn facts, but he will
thoroughly think them over he will seek
for the why and wherefore;' - he will in
yestigate aud reflect for himself, and thus
will he sensibly acquire comprehensive
ness, clearncss and freedom Of thought
In this working over, arranging, and classi-
flying his mental stores, he will so lock
them up in the chambers of his mind, that
his must be a treacherous memory indeed
if it be able TO lose his treasures. When
once thus fixed in his mind, they will be-
come almost part of himself From these
facts we draw the inference that curiosity,
either directly or indirectly, greatly aid in
developing the power of conceiving, conf
pretending, reasoning, and remembering;
hence, it is a most effective means of "awak-
oning mind and, it should, therefore, be
assiduously guided and cultivated in the
young.
The teacher has excellent opportunities
for cultiyating this spirit of inquiry in his
pupils, and if he fail to do so, he is recre-
ant to his duty 4 question kindly an
swered will encourage the asking Of other
questions, and this will result in three
fold advantage; the desired information
will be impaired, curiosity will be gratifed
and encouraged, and the pupils love, res
pect, and confidence will be secured

Henry Winter Davis on the Present

BALTIMORE, Sept. 27-Hon. Henry
Winter Davis, member Of Congress from
the Fourth Congressional district of Mary
land, made a speech tonight, at the New
Assembly Rooms.
lie satisfied the general anxiety to know
exactly the position he occupied in refer
ence to the pending Presidential canvass.
His speech occupied two hours and twenty
minutes
While he supported Bell, yet he denounc-
ed all coalition with Democrats, whether
Of the Breckinridge Or Douglas school.
His review Of the advocates and professions
Of the Disuionists of the South was merci-
less
What Lincoln, he said, thinks, is what
Jay thought in reference to the condition
Of the Territory. That it is now free, and
it is therefore unjust to pass any law on the
subject.
The Republican party was not an Aboli-
ton party, and had, in all its acts, shown,
so far as the record would show, only en-
deavored to bring back legislation on the
subject Of slavery where it was before the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise. He
was for silence; for doing away with agita-
ton on the slavery question. Douglas had
done one good to the country. He had
been an advocate for free speech and the
right to think as our fathers thought on
the Constitution, though he does not think
with them.
Douglas, in his opinion, was the true ex-
ponent Of the Democratic creed, and not
Breckenridge The South had used him,
expecting to find tool and found master.
He had Breckinridge upon the hip when he
quoted the language of the Kansas bill,
and Buchanan when he referred to the Ian
guage of his letter of acceptance, that
Territory, Ike State, had the right to
determine its own domestic institutions.
The intallibility of the Democratic party
was destroyed They pilfered amongst
themselves, and be was glad of the pros

& Word introductory.

BY the kindness Of the editors of the
Gazette and Democrat, the teachers of Milf.
fin county have the privilege of using one
column Of those papers weekly for the pur-
pose Of advancing the general cause Of Ed
ucation, and promoting inquiry and more
intelligent interest in teachers. The OBJ
iicct OF this educational column is three
fold First, to excite more general sympa-
thy for the objects and means Of acquiring
good common school education, in the
patrons Of schools and those who desire to
see intelligence and honesty prevail in So
ciety, second, to awaken a spirit Of greater
earnestness and wiser effort in teachers :;
and, third, to afford teachers an opportuni-
ty to give others the result Of their expert
ence, to enlighten their fellow teachers on
points of dubious clearneSs.
1t is not expected that this column will
render useless for teachers all other educa-
tional publications, but will rather increase
their desire to see what others have sue
cessfully accomplished, or gain new inspi-
ration to effort from the lofty purpose and
generous aims Of their coadjutors in other
fields. Yet, the teachers Of Mifliin county
need not look wholly abroad for examples
and incentives to action. There are among
them not a few who, by virtue Of fine at
taInments and most successful experience
in teaching, are we'll qualified to write what
can hardly fail to be Of much benefit to
less experienced teachers, and Of interest
to citizens generally. While all will ex-
pect to find whatever this contains relative
to education, still, it viii not be wholly or
mainly occupied with technical details,
school room exercises, or other matters Of
little general interest One object Of this
column is to give more just views of the
liberalizing character of education, its
healthtul and eleyating influence upon in
diyiduals and communities, its claims upon
the support and best wishes of all who love
their kind
Teachers of Mifiin county, it rests with
you whether this column shall be a source
Of much interest and benefit to all who may
read it; whether it shall be eagerly looked
for as means Of information and Of cheer
by the youthful teacher; whether it shall
ftly represent the intelligence and activity
of this county in educational efforts, as to
do what lies in your power to promote it,
either by writing for this column, or by
giving publicity to what is written for it.
All articles intended for this column
should be sent to Geo W Soult, Lewistown,
by whom they will be transmitted, with
out the names Of the writers) to the
Editor Of the Educational Department.

The Curiosity of Childhood.

Curiosity is that quality of mind which
renders its possessor observant and inquis-
tive. Childhood and youth can exhibit
no trait of character more promising than
this. Nor need we be surprised at the
constant and Unsuitable curiosity of child
hood, if we bear in mind that it has every,
thing to learn; knowledge does not unfold
her ample page to view at this early period
of life Childhood merely plays upon
life's sea shore, gathering the little grains
of sand it is in after years that it learns
to pick up the pebbles of the Philosopher.
Many regard curiosity as very trouble
some, undesirable, and even unamiabIe tea-
ture Of youthful character, bat careful
second thought will convince such that
this is a mistake.
