L. sae Rlnggoid boys, "
There were the Pottsville boys,
TAepe we're the Lehigh boys,
All aid five hundred.
No arms but what nature gave,
They stemmed "Seceshia's' wave,
jest on the brink of the grave,
All the world wondered.
Down through the murderous crowd,
Who hurled curses deep and loud,
But not word spoke they aloud,
The gallant FIVE hundred.
Rufians to the right Of them
Rowdies to the left OF them
Plug Uglies in front of them
dipped, swore and thundered;
The insults no tongue can tell
The stones that Found them fell
E4t hFi,geiy they marched, ard yell,
On through this nook of hell,
The noble FIVE hundred.
Hoy they gQt through so safei
Not losing single life,
Survivors Of this bloodleSs strIfe-
The people all pondered.
Stormed at with bricks and stones
Fired at iH fepdIsh tones
But on, without broken bones,
Marched the iye hundred.
Massachusetts, takes the name
New York lays in her claim
But the first men that forward came,
To save us from disgrace and shame,
Was the Keystone's fFs hundred.
Back from Secession's hive,
Came every man alive,
To the arms of sweethearts and wives,
The noble FIVE hundred.

'rDNEsDAY, NOVEMBER 40, 1861.

I'm good readers. 1t is not an
pr-ctice with teachers, to re-
pupils to commit to memory
en- in the preliminary e3ercis-
IS, and read over the illustra-
s This is done with vague
vas the authors design to have
les and examples used, and no
OF accomplishing that design
elf. In the ordinary reading
is customary for the pupils to
verse, one after another, with
rther instruction than that GER
should be differently pronoun-
unfrequentiy even this inGni
jcism is omitted. No effort is
BART clearer comprehension of
id pupils in giving fuller, nicer
by a better use Of infections,
d modulation.
.al and inevitable result is, that
interest in the reading exer-
pride in aoquitting themselves
cree. ecome careless, expressionless
repea words, but not readers And
teachei find the exercise distasteful !;
they are = ltisied with their neglect, and
vainly wish heir pupils would read better.
The simple and only remedy for this gen
eral and crying evil is drilling. Teachers
must address themselves to the subject in
good earnest, must carefully and thorough
ly study the best treatises they can procure
which relate to education; if nothing else
is accessible, they should study the intro
duction to any good series of readers and
gain all the knowledge desirable from that
source. They should practice the exam
Piles given, repeating them until perfectly
able to exemplify to class the idea which
the author wished to convey. They should
be careful to have the lessons well studied,
both by their scholars, and by themselves,
unless they are fully competent to instruct
without such preparation, and then they
should have every sentence well read be-
fore proceeding TO the sentence following.
Not merely errors of accent, and omission
| or insertions of words, should be correct,
ed but defective infection, and faulty en-
phasis and imperfect modulation, should
| be pointed out, and the correct rendering
of the passage should be given by the
teacher, then By the pupils. No anxiety
to finish lesson must be permitted to in
terfere with the necessary drilling.
This is subject requiring immediate
and earnest attention from every teacher
and cannot too urgently request all teach
ers who read this article, to use every ef
fort to improve the reading Of their pupils
They will find this labor little arduou
at first, but it sufeiy viii ba rewarded will
success if not by better reading, the con
scientiouS effort will be its own rich re
! ward. s.

efforts may be rendered most successful.
With this confidence, | wish to ask the
earnest attention of teachers to subject

little interest to all the intelligent friends
of common schools.
AS a general fact there is not nearly
enough drilling in schools; there is few

there is an indifference or incapacity, which
from idleness or ignorance negleets the ne
cessary work. There is almost universal
need of more drilling, more thorough at
tention to details, more intelligent use OF
Illustrations, definitions and questions
Teachers can hardly rid themselves of the
notion that the true test OF scholarship is
what one has gone over, and not what one
knows. Through the book has fatally
charming sound, even to teachers other

what every teacher has said scores of times,
to assert that it is infinitely better to train
pupils to value excellence of understanding
than to allow them TO form the habit of
echoing what the author says, however
readily, without comprehension of tbs
principles ipculcated.
I wish to apply this to reading. l dc

ON GUARD.

PROM the
ON GUARD.
At midnight on my lonely beat,
When shadows wrap the wood and lea,
vision seems my view to greet
OF one at home that prays for me.
No roses blow upon her cheek
Her form is not lovers dream
But on her face so fair and meek,
A host of holier beauties gleam.
For softly shines her silver hair,
4 patient smile is on her face,
And the mid lustrous light OF prayer
Around her sheds a moonlke grace
She prays for one that's far away
The soldier in his holy fight
AUD hegs that HeayeR IN mercy may
Protect her boy and bless the Right.
And although leagues lie far between,
This silent incense of her heart
Steals Ger my soul with breath serene,
And We no ionges are apart.
So guarding thus my lonely beat,
BY shadowy wood and haunted les,
That vision seems my eye to meet
Other at home, who prGys for me.

DIR. RICHARDSON'S ~BITTERs,-In our col
INNS may be found an advertisement of
Sherry Wine Bitters, prepared by IS. o
Richardson, Of South Reading, Mass. They
are, as said to be, undoubtedly composed of
a variety of valuable and purely vegetable
matter, and from our own experience, as well
as others, we can speak highly Of their. reno
waiting and invigorating effects upon the
system. We, have a good opinion of the Bit
tiers, as they are not a quack nostrum, but
discovered, prepared and vended by q regu-
lar physician, a graduate of the college of
our own State, and who has said but little in
the way of putting them himself, but leaves
tito those who try them to judge themselves
For the diseases that many are liable to in
the Spring, aud Summer, such as Debility,
Dyspepsia, Bilious and Nervous complaints,
we &c rot hesitate to say these Bitters will
he toui;;d a safe, agreeable and e%ffectual re-
storative. As gooa h hSS:ith is one of the
greatest of earthly blessings, we would early
advise those laboring under such disease, to
make a trial of DR.. Richardson's Bitters;
they can do no harm, and may domuchgood,
as we are confident in many cases they have.
Vegetables and vegetable substances are un-
questionably the most congenial to the hui
man system.

Scrofula, or Kings Evil,

is a constitutional disease, 4 corruption Of the
blood, by wlich this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, il
pcryades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrorulous faint is v~ariou,ly
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, BY the ~vcnereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con.
s]titution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation " indeed,
it seems TO be the rod of Him WHO says, ~
will yisi: the i]n.quities Of the fathers upon
their Children
It's effects m by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulccroUs matter, which, III
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubcrolc'; i'll the glands, sweliings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupti0n, which gcnders in the blood, depresscs
the energies Of life, so that scroiulous c]onstitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have fur less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
qucntly vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scroCulou7 in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption Which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from o.
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of all our people are scrofulouS
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must r%cnovate
