SCHOOL ETHICS FOR PARENT AND CHILD.
No. 8

The principal duty parents owe 10 the school
is that OF supplying, through their proper rep,
| resentatIves, the directors, sufficient number
of good teachers. There is prominent differ
ence existing between School masters and school
teachers. Tpo many of our schools are master
ed and not taught; but, we are glad to know
that the number has sensibly diminished since
the establishment of the County Superintendent
dency in our own as well as other States. We
have had, and yet have too many who call
themselves teachers, who are burden to the
cause and disgrace to the profession. NJ in
former times, who were found wholly unfit for
any other position, readily obtained situations
as masters of the district schools. Cases have
even occurred in which men, who were found
lncaPacitated TO feed the village SWINE, were ac-
cePted as the masters of the village schools
Such was truly pitiable state of affairs, when
men virtually acknowledged their children TO be
inferior to the herds of pigs that wandered up
on the neighborIng hills.
The impressions that last through life are
those which are made in youth The teacher
being the proper one to incucate knowledge,
should then be person, who is in every way
qualified for the position, that he may be able
10 control the mind Of the child in all IFS oper-
ations, and in all its researches through the lab
yrinths of knowledge.
There is one great difficulty existing al pres
ent, that operates against the employment of
good teachers, the salaries are too meagre.
Parents may overcome this difficulty If they
Will. Let them tax themselves but small a.
mount more 10 the year, and dispense with
lew OF the unnecessary luxuries and pleasures
they enjoy, and they will be enabled to obtain
good teachers, fully competent in every par
ucnlar. We know the taxes very often are
considered exorbitant, but those who pay them
do not stop TO think for moment that their
money As being expended for the purpose Of pre-
pairing their children TO be true men and wo-
men, and not to remain IgnoFa muses. all their
days. A man that is not trained mentally and
morally, as we'll as physically, is but little BET
ter than brute, and falls far short of the de-
sign Of the Almighty.

THE TEACHERS CALLING.

In the present unhappy condition of our
country-whlst the drums are beating to arms,
and the soldiers are rushing TO battle-whilst
the sun is dmmed by the smoke OF war, and
the moon looks down on the dead and diving ;
and the flag of our common country, which
once waved over free and united people, is
being tTampled in the dust and stained with the
blood of those who once fought, side by side, 10
defend ii; ii is the duty of the friends OF peace,
and those who hope !or brighter day in our
country's history, TO educate those, who shall
in future. shape the deslines OF the nation.
"lC time of peace prepare TOR war;" Is an AK
ceIlent maxim but the converse of this "ln
time Of war prepare for peace"-is much better
aud more in accordance with the spirit OF our
institutions, and the injunctloas of scripture
The true Christian, as we'll as the honest states
man, will look TO the it.acher to shape the fu-
ture deStinIes of America and honor his hum
ble efforts beyond those of The soldier, demoral-
lied by war, and stained by the blood OF his
fellow man or exulting in the trophies, gained
by the death OF brother, in unholy strife.
The teachers calling, is one Of honor IN the
eyes of all good men. Let him feel this, and
take courage-let him
''Learn to labor and 10 watt
and, when the smoke of battle has cleared a.
way and the war cloud is lifted from the graves

have subsidized and the solder returned from
the wars-when the sun of prosperity shall
once more gid the mountain and white wing
ed peace shall float up from the palmetto groves
and magnolia wales of the South the land shall

who was constantly making researches into the

Where Potomac rolls his wave,
Which unchanged, and changeless, flows
There the Hero, in his grave,
Neither strife, nor battle knows.
Let the cannons thunder on,
It'll they s:artle all the shore
He will hear and heed not one,
Sleeping there foreVermoIe.
Once he led brother-band
And they came from South and North,
Fighting for THEN native land,
And for all that Freedom's worth.
nd.together there they lie,
Side by side, on hill and plain,
Meath New EngIand's sky,
And along tire Southern main.
O'er their graves the legions pour,
Sons of those who slumber there,
In the madness OF the hour,
Needless Of the things that were.
Back my brothers your strife,
Ere their dust you desecTate =
Here, for Freedom, gave they life
Here, for you, they met their fate
Back Sons of patriot Sres

Fiercer none since Time begun.
Oh shame not the glorious dead
Let them not have died vain
Calm the hearts, TO hatred wed,
Bidding love return again.

SMALL PIcKiNGs.-It win be seen by the pro-
ceedings at the District Attorneys office yester
day that warrants have been issued against
Robert J. Walker, Ex-Governor of Kansas, and
Zeno Secor, Of Brooklyn, as sureties for George
N. Sanders, late Navy Agent at this port, who is
alleged to be defaulter to the government to
the amount of 1000. This is mere baga-
telle, and is hardly worth sueing for Under an
administration during which the pickings and
stealings of government officers counted by
hundreds Of thousands, SO modest haul only
excitcs a smile. Small as it is, however, it is
doubtful whether the securities are half as re-
sponsiblc as in Fowler's Qhe Postmaster) case
although in the end the responsibility Of these
latterturned out to be legally good for nothing

CRop?-The rebel government are trying to
control it. for it is their last hope-thc single
plank to which they cling amid the waves. But
we have the men, the money and the means to
wrest it out Of their hands. We will send H.
tile columns to the cotton region when the crop
is ready to take it to the North, and we will
bring Manchester here to manufacture it, and
cut off England not only from all trade with
this country, but from the markets of the world.
We can do this and set her at defiance if she
dares to NEEDLE with our internal affairs. We
are greater nation in every way than she was
when she so long struggled against Napoleon
and brought him down at last Let perfdious
Albion beware.
