Mr. Seward sat next to Stryker, the famous
democratic politician, at dinner at Utica,
few days since, and speaking Of the cause OF
the break down at Charleston, Mr. Seward
said, Your whole trouble was that you
forgot the fundamental principle OF your
party, which has always been that the ma
jority ought not 10 gorern. Hitherto you
have acted upon this, and have got along
finely; but at Charleston, the majority actu-
ally assumed 10 have their own way, and OF
course the minority could not tolerate so
glazing a usurI ation, absolutely so contrary
10 the whole plan of the party. "This is both
witty and true.

I'VE copy the following timely remarks
from little sheet published in Illinois. 1t is
hoped that teachers will read it carefully and
think upon it, for Thought leads the Way
1t is thought that improves and strengthens
the Intellect, or rather that deyelopes it,
draws it out Thinking, not talking, makes
the wise man. Thought induces thought
One hour of close thinking furnishes material
for days OF thought This subject appeals to
teachers particularly They deal with mind,
with thinking beings, and their business is to
build up mind, to give direction to thought,
and present subjects for it to feed, yea, rather
feast upon Their minds should be well train
ed by close application, not to follow blindly
the leading Of others, but to think for them
selves, to originate ideas, not to think for
their pupils, bat to know how to make their
pupils think for themselves. There is in our
schools, and among our teachers too much
thinking done by proxy; too much laziness
upon this subject. Pupils dislike to think,
and ask the teacher to think for them. Teaca-
ers dislike close long-continued application,
and provide themselves with keys. Teachers,
that is not the way to improve yourselves, or
benefit Your pupils.

Such, then, is the Tree of Truth-its root,
its trunk, or body its several branches and
its leaves. Children, is my story told p
What shall l say this glorious tree is bar
rem =? Oh no, no, for it is also fruit bearing
tree. So fine production of the great Crea
tor, this tree Of Paradise, could not fail to
produce rich and abundant fruit Other trees
bear in their proper season only, but this one
bears in all seasons, and on all the days Of the
year, fruit for time and fruit for eternity for
the tree of truth lives forever. 1t is always
richly laden, and what is most wonderful, the
more it yields the more and the more il bears
and the larger and the finer is the fruit.
But l will not weary you with the recital
of its productions. Among the plenteous
fruits of the tree Of truth are sclf-respect The
man of truth can properly think we'll of him
self, for he is, as it were, clothed in the robe
of an angel. He is pure at heart in this res
pect, at least. He is strong and brave and
fears no one for the guilty alone have cause
to fear He enjoys the esteem Of the wise
and good, and the respect of all men, for the
most depraved must respect the man OF in
variable truth. But better than all this, he
enjoys q peace of conscience, which the whole
world can neither give nor take away and
last of all, with truth growing from the prop
er root he has life everlasting and the crown
of Innocence in that world where naught but

PPENTY OF CoAL.--Professor Rogers has
been making estimates of the supply Of coal
which the fields of Pennsylvania, and other
places, are able to furnish from which it will
be seen that at the present rate of consump-
tion, l00,000,000 of tons per annum, the coal
fields OF Pennsylvania alone would meet the
demand for 3I64 years. If this consumption
were doubled. viz: 200,00O,00 tons, the
Great Appalachian field would meet the strain
for 6937 years. If it were quadrupled, viz T:
400, ,000, 600, the productive fields would suffice
for the worlds supply for 10000 years to
come. To this we must add the consideration
that new coal fields are brought 20 light as
exploration becomes more extensive and eX
act. Dr. Nordenskion, a learned Flemish
traveller who has just returned from a visit to
the Arctic regions, announces that he found
Anthracite coal as far North as Spitzbergen.
One of the most remarkable features of the
coal system of the globe, is its liberal distri-
button over the Northern hemisphere, where
it is most needed And it will probably be
found in the unexplored regions of Central
and Northern Asia.-Patriot end Unl0a.

THE BATTLE FIELD

Once this soft turf, this rivulet's sands,
Where trampled by hurrying crowd,
And fiery hearts and armed hands
Encountered in the battle cloud.
Now all is calm, and fresh, and still;
Alone the chirp of fitting bird,
And talk of children on the hill,
And bell of wandering kline are heard.
No solemn host goes trailing by
The black mouthed gun aud staggering train
Men start not at the battle-cry,
Oh, be it never heard again!
Soon rested those who fought, but thou,
Who mingest in the harder strife,
For truths which men receive not now,
Thy warfare only ends with life.
A friendless warfare lingering long
Through weary day and weary year,
wild and many weaponed throng
Hang on thy front, and flank, and rear.
Yet nerve thy spirit to the proof,
And blench not at thy chosen lot
The timid good may stand aloof,
The sage may frown, yet faint thou not.
Nor heed the shaft too surely cast,
The foul and Kissing bolt of scorn
For with thy side shall dwell, at least
The victory of endurance born.
Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again;
The eternal years OF. God are hers
But error, wounded writhes with pain,
And dies among his worshippers.
Yes, though thou lie upon the dust,
When they, who helped thee flee in fear,
Die full of hope and manly trust,
Like those who fell in battle here.
Another hand thy sword shall WELD,
Another hand the standard wave,
Till from the trumpet's mouth is pealed
The blast of triumph DER thy grave.
