A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

What parent on reading The annexed extract,
can fail to reflect on the lesson il suggests? How
important that when the parent has departed,
the example LETT behind may be such as the
child may be thankful for. To watch for and
train the budding thoughts of an arless child
is one of the noblest Offices that father or moth
er can fill. Truly it has been said that
"out of the mouths of babies and sucklings"
strenth has been ordained. What could give
greater strength TO that widowed heart, than
such scene with her little daughter.
She knelt at the accustomed hour 10 thank
God for the mercies OF the day, and play iof his
care during the coming night; then as usual
came The earnest GOOD bless dear MOTHER
hut the prayer was stilled, the little hand un-
Clasped, and look OF agony and wonder met
the mothers eye as the words OF hopeful sor-
row burst from the lips of the kneeling child.
81 cannot pray for father any more 20 Since
ileT little fTIJs had been able 10 form the dear
name. she prayed for blessing upon IT. it had
followed close after mothers name, Tor be had
said that must come first, and now TO say the
familiar prayer, and leave her father out. No
wonder the new thought seemed to much for
the childish mind 10 receive.
| waited some moments that size might con-
quer her emotion, and then urged her 10 go on.
Her pleading eyes met mine, and with voice
that taitered almost too much tor utterance, she
SAID
''Oh mother, ] cannot leave HIM all out, let
me say 'qhank God that | had dear father
once! so I can still go on and keep him in my
prayers"
And so she always does, and my stricken
heart learned lesson from the loving ingenu-
ity of my child. Remember 10 thank God for
the mercies Oft the past, as we'll as the blessings
OF the future

SCHOOL ETHICS FOR PARENT AND CHILD
No. I3.

The pupils should beautify the grounds and
house. One Of the greatest exterior evidences
of well working, harmonious, and well dis
ciplined school, rs that resulting from the care
and attention bestowed by the pupils of the
school, upon the grounds and house. 1t may,
in fact, often be considered an appropriate IN
dicaton OF what may be the character of the
school. A great deal will depend on the char
acter of the teacher. If he be true lover of
natures beauties, he will influence his pupils
TO their work in this respect. A love for the
beautiful in both art and nature, is among the
most noble attributes of rational beings, and any
buildings of such love in The child should be al
lowed and encouraged 10 ripen. These GERM
nations are too often crushed by the ruthless
hand OF the teacher before they are allowed to
make any progress toward maturity, and being
once crushed, never again break forth.
The majority of our public school grounds are
as destitute of trees and shrubbery as they con-
venently can be. True, nature sometimes sup
plies the defect, or rather hides it, by growing
trees aud bushes, Flowers, except wild ones,
are an ornament not thought of there. The
public highway and toe nearest fence mark the
bounds of the school play ground. y few form
an exception 70 the general rule. The dreari-
ness of .he school house site is relieved by the
care and attention, paid TO the ornamenation
ard decoration paid TO the school grounds. A
neat fence encircies The grounds fine shade
trees, beautiful shruobery, aud fragrant flowers,
are scattered proiusely in the yard; and all!
seem TO unite IN rendering the school place OF
pleasure, as well as place OF Improvement. -
Pleasure must be intermlngled with work, in
order that the child may work TO Advantage
II that pleasure serve to cultivate the child N
its aesthetic nature, SO much more is gained
Mans whole nationality has 10 be trained as
thettc, scientific, and ethic.
Observers cannot fail to perceive the differ
| ent effects different school-houses present. The
pupils IN our old, rickety, and ugly buildings
DO not enter on the performance o. the day
duties with the same ardor as those do, whose
whose house and grounds present a neat and
beautiful appearance. The hearts of all seem
more gay and cheerful when nature in all her
loveliness seems smiling, as if in approval of
their taste and care. Pupils should be led to
know that each wanton acts of destruction OF
natures works is in violation of pure morality.

Resofved, That 1t was the duty of Congress,
IN the initiation OF this conflict, to have en-
couTaged the loyal citizens OF the South by am
pie guarantees of their rights and BY all Just and
honorable concessions, and We believe it 10 be
Its duty now, while putting down rebellion
with armed force, 10 offer to the loyal people
OF the ciSafected States the remedy which the
Constitution itself provides for public grievan-
ceS, convention of all the States for TIE revIs-
ion and amendment of that instrument
ResOlced, That the Democracy of this State
Will sustain no war nor couD:enance any peace
tending to the separation of these States, and
that they will regard any attempt TO pervert
this conflict for emancipation of slaves as fatal
TO all the hopes OF the restoration of the
Union.
ResOlped, That 1t IS the duty of the admins
trat9n, Initiating the patriotic spirit of the peo-
pie, to abandon the narrow platform of the Chi
cago Convention, which stands condemned by
the sufrages of nearly two-thilds of the people,
and to step forth upon the broad platform of the
Constitution, 10 eXpel corrupt men from office,
to exclude from the councils the advocates of
separation or abolition, and TO reconstruct ITS
Cabinel 50 as 10 conform to the altered conGi-
ton OF the country and 10 command more large
ly the public respect and confidence.
ReSotUsd, That the right Of fully and freely
eanvassing the policy and measures of the ad-
minIstratIon in power is essential to const:tu-
tIonal government it right upon which the
pillars Of our republic rest and is denied only
by tyrants. To use the language OF Daniel
Webster, SIT is hombred ,ight, freside priv
llege. II has ever been enjoyed in every house,
cottage and cabin in the nation. 1t is not to
be denied in controversy. Il is as undoubted
as the right Of breathing the air and walking
on the eartn. II is rikht to be maintained in
peace and war. 1t IS right which caEnot be
invaded without destroying the constitutional
liberty. Hence, this right should be guarded
and protected by the ireemen of this country
with JEALOUS care, unless they are prepared
for chains and slavery
Resoived, That we thank our brave army IN
the field, and our navy upon the seas, for the
noble devotion and heroic courage they have
shown in rallying TO the defense Of the country
IN its hour of peril, and we will not forget that
1t Is our duty TO protect them from being the
sport and sacrifice OF politicians, who order
battles from ideas OF political necessity, or the
victims OF contractors, who make the peril of
the country the occasion of general spolia,on
and speculation.
RESOLVED, That the hopes of the country de-
pend upon the unity and vgor of the Democrat
ic party IN this crisis. That Democratic vic
tory in this State would be hardly less auspi-
cious TO the cause Of the Union than the tri-
umph of the federal arms on the field of battle
That, therefore, we hold those Democi ats who
s'trom motives of ambition or factousness, are
seeking 10 divide and distract the party, as not
only treacherous 10 its principles, but disIoyal
to the country.

ARE YOU READY I?

One week from next Tuesday, the annu
election takes pace. are our DemocratiC
friends ready for the contest that is 10 be deer
ded on that day II not, let them now 60 10
work, rallying and encouraging forward our
forces, that we may make victory ours. A
Democratic victory this fall, IN the Old Key
stone State, is Of vast importance 10 The nation
Pre-emmently the party of the Constitution,
of law, and of order, lis triumph will have the
effect Of re-esiablishICg the confidence in the
government, which has unfortunately been lost
through republican error and miSmanagement.
1t will place check upon that dangerous A bo-
lition ianaticism which has already wrought
such dire evils, and threatens still further ones.
1t will assure the Southern rebels that the war
now waged against them is not for the emanci-
patton of the slaves but for the integrity OF the
Union-and thai assurance will oe more pow
eTful than an army, in disarmng rebellion, re-
storing respect for the Union, and preparing
the way Tor reconstruction.
A Democratic triumph IS also OF the highest
importance TO our State. We have been long
enough cursed with the corruptions and profit
gacy OF Republican rules. Our Legislators,
bri5es in hand, have thrown away the public
money By the million, and our honest fairness

They are longing tor the opportunity TO rein

was always prosperous.
Then, let all good democrats, in the full con-
fdence of victory, go to work for the nominees
of their party, aud work for them, one and all,
until the closing of The polls on the evening of
The second Tuesday of October. Let them
work earnestly, and continually, for in so doing

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE NEW
YORK DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONVENTION.

We give in fall the series Of resolutions a.
dopted on Wednesday week, by the New York
Democratic State Convention, held at Syra-
cuse.
Resolved, That IN this crisis the watch
word which should pass through the Demo
ocralic ranks, calling them togealher and con-
solidatlDg them in one erect aud determined
mass in defense OF our perilled country, is the
sentiment Of Andrew Jackson, that ''the Union
must and shall be preserved"
ResolUed, That the claim of any State or
number OF States 10 a right TO relioqulsh at
will their obligations and allegiance to the
Union has no warrant in the Constitution
Is at war with rs letter and spIrit--is Incom-
patible with good government and the preser-
walton OF the public faith, and the enforcement
of the treaties, and whenever this preension
has been advanced by secessionists North or
South, il has been resisted and defeated by the
Democracy. who have ever maintained, as they
still do, that secession is revolution.
ReSoiUed, That the seizure OF the forts and
property belonging TO the federal government,
followed by the authorization ofprivateers a.
gainst the commerce of the loyal States, pre-
cipitated the country into state OF war; that
il is the duty OF the government 10 prosecute
the war thus forced upon it with all is power
and resources, and that ii is the duty of the peo-
pie to rally with arms and means to the gov
ernment, until the struggle ls ende, by the tri-
umph of the Constitution and laws, and the res-
torat,on Of the Union.
ResolDed, That we hold next IN guilt 10 the
faction which has risen in arms against the
country, the politicians of The North, who for
years have organized and sustained system of
agitation tending and intending to ALLEVIATE The
different sections OF the country, and TO stir up
between them an "irrepressible conflict" based
upon their domestic institutions, which, it was
declared, could only terminate in the universal
Predomlnance OF one section or the other.
Res0lued, That 10 the iniatualion of the same
class Of politicians We can trace the threaten
Ing proportions which this "civiI war'' has as
sumpd and the catastrophes that have attended
1t. In the language of one Of their representa-
tive men, ''Congress adjourned, having done
aud said nothing TO strengthen and encourage
the Union men of the Border States. The
great and powerful States of Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee, were lost to the Union,
while three other States Maryland, Kentucky
and Mlssouri-are struggling to MAINTAIN their
positions 10 IT, because the Republican repre-
senlatlves Were beguied INTO the popular idea
,haI they discharged their first and highest du-
y 10 standing by and on the Chicago PLATFORM"

t.I tue nePuoiican party, by debating "political
oaI'leS 10 be fought" have, according TO The
same authofIty, "added another year to the war,
uuiored millions of dollars TO its cost, and o.
more soldiers.

PATRIOTISM VERSUS DEMOCRACY.

The Phladel phla Press takes great offence
at the reply of Hon. John Cessna, oil Bedford,
10 some questions asked him on The occasion Of
his nomination TO the Legislature IN which Ae
promises "never TO vote except as a Democrat y
The plouS editor lifts his hands in holy horror
at the mere intention that "higa toned gen-
leman like MIR. Cessna" should have the G1-
daclty to be follower OF the immortal JacH-
son, IN these times of treason and rebelIioa
We believe this man Foruey used 20 be a Deia-
ocrat once himself, but the very name has ~
come so offensive to his nostrilS since he fSkcg
turning his new formed friendships 10 su8h
good account, that he will never be willing G
allow that man can belong to that org n
lzation and at the same time be true patric,
There Is no truef UNION man IN PennsyiEa-
MIA than Mr.. Cessna. We have reason to
know that he stands upon the unequivoea /
platform Of endorsing every necessary efFoa
OF the Government TO preserve The Union aEi
crush the rebellion; and when entertaining tie
views he does be says he will ''vote as a Det-
ocrat,' he stands, where every man deserviig
the name Of 4 Democrat, should stand, q
favbr OF the Union, the Government, the Co..
stltution and The enforcement of the laws. Ve
can have very little respect for those, wh =

impression that no one can "qote as Der,-

pharisaic pride OF some Of the partisan friends
Of the administration, which glorles in stand
ing UP IN the high places Of the synagogue,
and thanking its maker that II is not as othess
are, would really be amusing If it were not 50
ungenerous and unjust. The Democratic par
ty, with one or two Insignificant exceptions,
all over the country stand upon the same log
al and patriotic platform. Hundreds OF them
have already offered up their lives in defence
of the country; and thousands can yet be found
IN the ranks, ready to follow their brave con-
mander TO victory and glory, and TO death il
needs be. 1t would be well for those WIZ
seem to be so thankful that :hey are so brinl-
iull of patriotism TO remember The parable Of

P0STPONING THE SCHOOLS,

We have heard it whispered very seriously,
that the schools in some of the districts of this
county were TO be postponed the ensuing win
ter. We are not sure whether this can be done,
for the common schools are permanent insti-
tutions'' in this State and, if we mistake not
the Attorney General has lately decided that
there must be four months of school during the
year. this be so, it settles the matter at once.
But we will allow the possibility and consider
the expediency. We question yer, much
whether it would be wisdom or economy to Ut
terly cut down the small amount that IS expen-
ped for the cause OF education. Why is to be
done 1t is assumed that IN order TO meet the
expenditures of the civil war with which we
are cursed, blow must be struck at the very
vtals OF the cause of universal educatlo Mis-
taken policy one that the dalk ages might have
produced without creating any aslonIshment,
but which, 10 these enlightened times is utter
ly out Of place. What strike at cause which
next TO our civil and religious liberty, is, and
has been, the boast of the land Danish the
thought! Let no lover of humanity entertain
the suicidal idea. And you, Mr.. Narrow-soul-
ed Grumber, who hate the school tax worse
than evil spirits, " lay not the iatering JUNCTION
TO your soul,' that you can noc strike down ar
institution which you have always regarded
with so much loathIng. Your selfish mind first
entertained the magnanimous ~ idea OF robbing
the poor children of their education for in no
other could il have originated. There are a
thousand arguments against this mad policy, and
there are thousand things which are capable of
retIenchment before you come to the common
schools. Education is necessity, not luxury.
Cut down the luxuries first, and do not slarve
the soul until you must. You, who chew the
poisonous weed, and who are in favor of econo-
mizing in these times, remember that &c charity
begins at home" You, who imbbe the intoxica-

UThuIlow Weed, OF the Albany Journal,
saw last January the storm that would inevita-
bly, burst over the country, unless some measure
was adopted 10 avert it. He appealed to the
Republican members OF Congress not to listen
10 Journals whose columns abounded in ap-
Peals to F'backbone," !" "pluck," sc. He said
''To save this Union and to avert the horrors OF
civil war, we implore members of Congress
to meet the reasonable proposition OF the Union
men ofthe South"
''1n view of the trial that approaches
and the ordeal through which public men must
pass, we hope that Republicans will SO bear
themselves that they will not be called, too
late, to a remorse which poisoned the last hours
of Cardinal Woisey." The Republican mem
bers Of Congress needed not the warning voice,
but rushed madly on in their anti-slavery
course. They might have saved the country !;
but hatred and revenge usurped the place OF
patriotism, and we are in the midst of civil
war. Whether The remorse that poisoned the
last hours of Cardinal Wolsey's life will over
take them we know not il 1t does not, the
moral philosophy of The world will be greatly
at fault.

A Dirge for Douglas,

The busy mind has ceased 10 toll,
The active frame has gone to rest;
The Douglas sleeps beneath the soil
or his own we'll beloved West.
Where Michigan her billows pours
Upon her green, outrageous shore;
The dust Of him who once was ours,
Awaits the hand that shall restore
How peaceful is our leaders, rest
How calm the scene that 'round him lies :
Here is no travail, toll, unrest,
No strife, no bloody sacrifice
The thorn-tree blossoms white and pure,
The wild bird triIs Its softest notes,
The clover blooms the bee allure,
And peace on every zephyr floats.
So rest thee, Statesman of the West!
Nor may thy deathless spirit know
What demons dark have since possessed
Thy land to shroud its homes IN woe.
So rest thee, Douglas though the roar
OF wars dread thunder sweeps tie air,
Thou'lt hear the slogan neVermore,
Nor with the chiefs the battle share.
