The Newspaper as an Educator.

To the weekly Newspapers of our land
are our people largely indebted for the great
err share Of their education. The school
doubtless has its power for good, the college
exercises a lifelong influence, and books and
lectures exert their sphere of usefulness, but
even the humblest paper Of the country press
does more than all of these to fashion and to
furnish, for veal or for woe, the minds and
hearts of the masses.
There is no more responsible position in
the world than that occupied by the news
paper editor. The child, just indulging its
new born zeal in reading and committing to
NWemory the tit-bits Of newspaper prose and

Ter these eloquent speeches, it might be pre-.
sumptuOus III him to say a word What he
had to say would be in regard to the regiment
now being raised. He could not agree with
the remark that because a large crowd of peo-
pie attend public meeting to listen to clio.
quent speech 5, it is an indication that a regi-
ment will be Immediately raised He said it
with sorrow and shame, that the young and
the middle aged men do not come forward and
enlist. lie had served with Capt. Sprague
for three months They went in a time of
peril, under secret orders, and with danger
and to Baltimore, and through all that time
Capt. Sprague was equal TO every emergency
(Great applause.) Why is it that the young
men OF Worcester hesitate 20 so under such
man Why is it they do not come forward
Is not this government, that cost your fathers
so much suffering and blood, worth saving?
He then made earnest personal appeal to
the aulience to see that the companies now
forming were Tiled by Monday night, and thus
turn this great meeting to a decent use. He
appealed to the srlfrespect and pride of the
citizens of Worcester to listen to the loud call
OF the government for troops, and rally to the
defence, assistance and encouragement of the
brave men who have gone before. Let us
see, he said, if this great meeting means
anything, and it the regiment under Upton

Ii this results the city would have done per-
ton of its duty. Mr. McCafferty's criticisms
were kindly taken, and he resumed his seat in

adjournment, which took place at the close of

THE SWEET LITTLE MAN

DEDICATED TO THE STAY-AT-IioME RANGERS.
Now, while our soldiers are fighting our battles,
Each at his post to do all that he can,
Down among rebels and contraband cbatels,
nat ale you DOING my sweet little man?
All the brave boys under canvass are sleeping,
All of item pressing to march with the van,
Far from the home where their sweetheaIts are
weeping;
What are you waiting for sweet little man?
You with the terrible warlike moustaches,
Fit for Il colonel or chief of a clan,
You with the waist made for sword-belts and
Where are your shoulder-straps sweet little man?
Bring him the buttonless garment of woman
Cover his face lest it freckle and tan;
Muster the Apron-string Guards on the Common,
That is the corps tor the sweet little man.
Give him for escort file of young misses,
Each of them armed with deadly rattan;
They shall defend him from laughter and Kisses,
Aimed BY low boys at the sweet little man
All the fair maidens about him shall cluster.
Pluck the white feathers from bonnet and fan,
Make him plume like Il turkey wing duster,-
That is the crest for the sweet little man!
o, but the Apron-string Guards are the fellows!
Drilling each day since our troubles began,-
"Hande your walking-sricks!" shoulder umbrel-
That is the style for the sweet little man.
Have we nation to save? In the first place
Saving ourselves is the sensible plan.-
Surely the spot where there's shootings the worst
pace
Where l can stand, says the sweet little man.
Catch me confding my person With strangers!
Think how cUwardly the Bull Runners ran!
In the brigade of the Stay at-home Rangers
Marches my corps, says the sweet little man.
Such was the stuff of the MalakoI-takers,
Such the soldiers that scaled the Redan;
Truculent h0usemaids and blOod-thiIsty Quakers
Brave not the wrath of the sweet little man.
Yield him the sidewalk, We nursery maidens!
iSaupe qj pep Bridget, and right about! Ann,-
Fierce shark i'll school of menhadens
See him advancing, the sweet little man!
When the red fails of the battlefield threshers
Beat out the continents wheat from its bran,
While the wind scatters the chafry secesheis,
What will become OF our sweet little man!
When the brown soldiers come back from the Dor
deIs,
How will he look while his features they scan?
How will he feel when he gets marching orders,
Signed by his lady love? sweet little mani
Fear not for him, Though the rebels expect him.
Life is too precious to shorten its span;
Woman her broomstick shall raise to protect him,
Will she rot fight Tor the sweet little man!
Now then, nine cheers for the Stay at-home Ranger!
Blow the great iisi-horn and beat the big pan!
First in the field that is arthest from danger,
Take your white leather plume, sweet little man!
