Rail-msuling Partner.
We End the following interesting let
ter from John Hanks-Lincoln's early
partner in the rsil-splitting business-in
the Decatur Chronicle. Hanks is an
honest old Jackson Democratic farmer,
who shared with the next President the
privstiOns and hardships of pioneer lie
in Illinois, before the days of railroads
aud canals. His letter is plain, unvar-
nished statement, that will find a re-
Spouse in the breasts of hundreds of old
Democratic farmers Of the pioneer times:

to the election Of Lincoln. Hanks, who
has never been Democrat, is against the
Republican nominee because he knows
Lincoln to be a humbug. and nothing
else. Hurrah for Hanks p

30 Thou can'st trust thy labor to him, be-
cause his strength is great.
Thou can'st bind him with his band in
the furrow; he will harrow the valleys
after thee.
- He will gather thy seeds into the barn.
His strength is terrible, in which he
-rejoiceth.
:sial The glory of his nostris is his pride;
ahis neck is clothed with thunder.
He paweih in the valley, and waxeth
proud in his speed.

he his neck from the hobgoblin.

Yet thou can'st approach him with bri-

under the direction of WIN. WHEELER and
j. C., CLARK.
In view of the growing demand for trained
and competent teachers, we have determined
to establish, in this part of the State, school
wherein young men and women, designing to
enter the profession of teaching, can be thor
oughly qualified for the work. The various
methods of imparting instruction will be thor
oughly discussed, and the best methods care
fully pointed out.
1t is also our design to make the Academic
department of the school inferior to none in
the State Maps, Charts, Globes, Chemical and
Philosophical Apparatus, &C., &C., shall lend
their aid in the illustration of the various
sciences; and Moroughness, the life and soul
of education shall mark every step of the stu
dents progress.
We have had under consideration various
points at which to locate our school, and have
chosen Summerfeld, because:
1st. 1t is in part of the State remote from
| the Normal Schools of Lebanon and Hopedale.
| End. 1t is in the midst of an enterprising
and wealthy people, who are able and willing
! to educate their sons and daughters.
| 3rd. 1t has always been noted for its NOR
ality, and especially for its opposition to an
! temperance.

The Old wooden Church ON the
Green.
BY HENRY MoRFORD.

They are all laying hands on the things lov-
ed best,
They are closing over my past;
They are heaping sods upon Memorys breast,
Till but little is left me at last.
Bot sometimes look back to the things of old
time,
And think of the things that have been,
knd the memory comes, like nursery rhyme,
OF the Old Wooden Church on the Green.
II is little and old, in this plentiful age,
1t has neither steeple nor bell;
It is bowling its roof to the pitiless rage
OF the storms it has battled so WE'LL
It 10 guiltless of glass, and the paints washed
away
In the storm and the sunshine. ween:
For no kind hand attends, for this many day,
To the Old Wooden Church on the Green.
Beneath the massed roof the small swallow
nests hang,
And the bees hive and swarm in the caves,
And the loosed shutters swing with sorrow
full clang,
When the wind through the old church.
yard grieves,
Neglect and decay are around the old walls,
Dark ruin looks over the scene:
Oh, sad is the sound of the lone foot that falls
Round the Old Wooden Church on the Green.
Yet Pd rather to-day they should crumble
away,
Earth's proudsst and loftiest pile
Built up a mock for neglect and decay,
70 stand while the broad heavens smile
Then tear off one shred from its worm. eaten
roof,
oo Or call it the shabby and mean;
Eor we're all, when grown old and neglected,
enough
Like the Old Wooden Church on the Green.
Aud I hear the sweet voice that chanted within;
All, many summer ago
Still singing the hymn when the eve closes in,
Though they echo from Heaven, l know,
sit in the pew where they sat by my side
And as back in the shadows lean,
/ hear the low prayers that trembled and died
In the Old Wooden Church on the Green.
lwill weep when it falls-I will smile while
II, 1t stands,
As winter on winter goes by,
Protected by naught but invisible hands
It'll sleep in its shade when die.
Ket them bury me there, in mound poor an6

That the winds that wall over me pass, as they
go,
