MY FRIEND,

Has life cen a care, or the world displeasurr
That can fetter my thoughts in moment O
leisure2
Or check me from telling the wsrld how ]
flourish
In the lot that love, with the friends that
cherish2
By the hopes of the future, and deeds of the
past,
By the scenes of enjoyment whose memories
last,
By my Soul and its joys, or the pride of my
youth,
My words must be spoken--they tell but the
truth.
Shall it be disguised-as men dread to hear it?
Its author despised as man of no merritt
Shall we shrink from its power, or recoil from
its blow;
To be every ones friend-prove every ones
foe?
All, no! Be it spoken, although it destroy
The popular gossip. Who would be a toy
Or tool for the masses to use as they please
While they sponge for a living, and lounge at
their ease?
Be man in good earnest, with mind of YOUR
own,
Nor yield to the willy, as thousands are prone;
BE in the great DRAMA while life jogs along,
Nor sell your delights for the sum of song
But am quite subject to change, too, betimes,
hou i,fr o.
Hence, if you should catch me in tossings and
turns,
Console yourself calmly, tbs only young Burns
In poetic ardor just let him stride on,
He will bring in his fancy, come folly or fun.
His Muse though a cripple, takes some lofty
flights
From the land of delusion, to that land of de-
lights,
And loves, too to bask in those regions so rare
Where the Soul is SO happy, the features so
fair.
Sometimes it will sing of the lot of the weary,
Whose heart is in trouble whose eyes are all
teary,
Whose path is sad one, quite dark and quite
dreary;
While it must be acknowledged, the poets
IDEAL
IS sweeter by far, than the prosaic real
4 gain, it returns to those happier hours
When love lay secluded in Eden fair bowers,
And youths were so timid they burst never
woo
The Ewes in their parlors like modern boys do
But rather 'twould sing from the warmth of
my heart
And lent to its tenderness help to impart
\ vivid reality into my dreams,
That life may be CHEEKY and just what it seems. !
wait till my rythm returns
'shaw!-we.l! m yours sincerely ly--that isl |
am BURNs--JUNIoR.

From the Cincinnati CONNIE rcial.
sERENsDE TO THE HON. ANDY
NESSEE---HlS SPEECH ON THE
CAUSES OF THE REBELLION.
During the afternoon of Saturday, it
became noised abroad that the Hon.
Andy johnson, Senator from Tennessee,
was guest at the Burnet House, and
forthwith the admirers of that honest and
sturdy patriot determined to eompli-
ment him with serenade.
The hope of hearing his manly voice
once more ring out in rebuke to the de-
stroyers of the national peace, drew to-
gether very large concourse of citi-
zens. In response to call, Mr.. John
son made stirring and patriotic ad-
dress, of which we give the spirit:
ADDRESS.
1t was my intention to have gone
through this city quietly and unob-
served, although l am free to say that
the appreciation which you, my fellow
citizens, have bestowed upon my con-
duct, is appreciated, and will ever be
held in afectionate remembrance by me-
n few weeks since, when it was my
privilege to pass through Cincinnati,
you were pleased to bestow upon me a
demonstration of your appreciation far
beyond my merits or my worth.
My efforts still continue unabated in
trying to carry out those measures which
are necessary to sustain the Government
in its present emergency; and l hope
that nothing will ever transpire which
will tend to abate these efforts.
on RECANTATloN
I have tonight read with great pain
and regret the reported recantation by
a distinguished citizen Of Tennessee of
the views hitherto expressed by him.
| regret this step on the part of that dis
tinguished citizen for two reasons. l
regret it on account of our cause, but
regret it more on his own account. If
it were my case, do not hesitate to say
that rather than make such recanta-
ton, l would be screwed down in my
iron coffin and buried in earth the feet
foremost. But | trust that it is not so,
and Of what know Of that distinguished
citizen, l do not believe the report to be
true.
ON THE DEFEAT AT MANASSAS.
A few weeks since when I passed
through your city, the crisis was thick
ening, and since then it has continued
to grow thicker and blacker, and if the
result Of the contest has chilled, (I
mean the battle fought at Manassas, }
and dispirited you, how much more
heavily must it have fallen upon the
lovers of the Union in the Southern
States, and how much greater must have
been its tendency to discourage the
Union men there. But I tell you that
if the sullen, smothered, Union feeling
of the South has receded, it is like the
smothered fires of Vesuvius which only
fall to gather more lava and more heat,
that when the time comes they may
burst forth with the more destructive
fury. Cheers. When the time comes
In which the smothered sentiments of
Southern Union men shall burst forth
they will visit destruction upon those
who have exiled them from their homes
and devastated their property. Manas-
sas should but stimulate you to make
such demonstration as will teach trai-
tors, both North and South, (for | tell
you that youhave them here that there
liz power in this Government sufficient

be established in large towns where there


be established in large towns where there
are many schools.
A graded school is simply we'll class
iie2 school, 1t is one, in which scholars
Of nearly equal attainmeuts occupy the
same room aud are taught by the sane
instructor. The lowest graded school
must have. two ROOMS and two teachers.
In this case the more advanced scholars
occupy Que room. the less advanced an
other. The advantage IF the system Is
that the classes are fewer and large, aud
can have longer time for recitatioas.-
Graded schools are commonly dl>ided m
to three departments the Primary, Inter
mediate and Higher. There is q rOou
ana a teacher for each department, and
in large schools two or more to each de-
partnent. An impartial beard of exam
liners assign each pupil TO his proper de
partment, and promotes from one DON
to a higher only when a. scholar has pass
ed q thorough examination. Scholars
are received aud promoted only at tie
beginning Of the term or year. | said
graded schools are the cheapest where
ever they Gamble established. Suppose
a township with 9 schools averaging 30
scholars each could build a house with
lwo rooms, aud locate it in a place ac-
ccssibIe BY all the scholars in The town
| do not say ruch a situation could be
found, but unless the system offers nearly
equal advantages. it had not better be
introduced. Let tie directors engage
two qualified teachers, one Cor each de-
Dartmeut. 1t seems from ks. account
they can be had fcr SIS per month. In
graded school a teacher can teach 10
scholars easier than 80 in an ungradcd
one. Let tie directors thai
they will examine all the scholars in the
town aud admit he best 80 to this new
school. Let it also be understood the
other scholars would be admitted as soon
as their own proficiency and the vacap-
eieS in the High School would permit.
This would be a strong incentive to eve.
~ chlld in the town. After taking out
so scholars, there would he only $50 left
to be provided for in the commoG schools.
These $50 are never Of the same RAM
the 2ID at first were, and the size Of each
school n4isht be. slightly increased and
still the scholars have better orDortuni-
ties han before If 36 are assigned to
each school there will be but FIVE common
schools now. Thus b. the graded sys-
tenn we dispense with I out OF 9-almust
half Of the common school teachers, and
10 their place employ two qualified in
swuctors. The $50 per month paid to
these two, is less than was formerly paid
to the other four. | said graded schools
cauaot be successfully introduced here
at present ; the population is too scat.
tered, toe sparse, We want more com
mon schools as a basis. Every common
school in the county, may be graded just
IS much rs any select school with only
one teacher; because they all can be as
well classified; bat no select school. no
school receiving all the scholars who ap.
ply can property be termed graded, since
none can have an impartial board OF cx-
amiaers. Respectfully Yours, Nj.

TUE DIsUNIoN SENATOR'S 1t is re
markable to observe in the Senate the
Disunion Senators, who have told the
country so often that before the next ide>
of March they would no longer belong to
the United States, taking SO much inter
est in small legislative matters, which do
nut even concern their States in tie least
They make long speeches, and quarrel
over them, as if the Union was in no dan
Ger, and would last Tor centuries to come.
Thus it is with the Pacific railroad If
they 90 out Of tic Union, they will lose
nothing if the remaining States conclude
to build it, but yet they oppose it, and,
therefore, it seems than they themselves.

this Union, however bitterly they now
attack it.
