SCHOOL OF THE oLpEN TIME.

The schools--the schools of other days
Those were the schools for me,
When in frock and trousers dressed,
learned my A, b, @.
When, with my dinner in my hat,
trudged away to school,
Nor dared stop, as boys do now,
For school ma'am had rule.
And if traveller we met,
We threw no sticks ncr stones,
To fright the horses as they passed,
Or break good peoples bones.
But with our hats beneath our arms,
We bent our heads full low,
For ne'er the school ma 'am failed to ask,
"Boys, did you make bow 2"
And all the little girls with us
Would courtesy full low,
And hide their ankles meath their gown
Girls don't have ankles now.
We stole no fruit, nor tangled grass,
We played no noisy games.
And when we spoke to older folks,
Put handles on their names.
And when the hour for school had come,
or bell we had no need,
The school ma 'am's rap upon the glass,
Each one would quickly heed.
That school ma'am Heaven bless her name!
When shall we meet her like
She always wore green calash,
A calico vandyke.
She never sported pantaletts-
No silks on her did rustic
Her dress huug gracefully all around
She never wore a busfle.
With modest mein and loving heart
Her daily task was done,
As true as needle to the pole,
The next one was begun.
The days were all alike to her.
The evenings just the same,
And neither brought change to us,
Till Saturday forenoon came.
And then we had ssspelling match,"
And learned the sound OF A,
The months and weeks that made the year,
The hours that made the day.
And on that day we saw her smile,
No other time smiled she
Twas when she told US earnedly
When next ssleap year, would be.
Alas kind soul though leap year came
And went full many time,
In sssingle blessedness" she toiled,
Till far beyond her prime.
But now, indeed, her tolls are o'er,
Her lessons are all said,
Her rules well learned-her words all spelled,
She's gone up to the head.

BRECKINRIDGE DEMocRAoY.-The New York
Herald publishes list of the members of the
State Convention of North Carolina, now in
session in Raleigh. The action of the con-
ventlon, so far, shows that the Union senti-
ment is strong and likely to predominant in
the Old North State. Among the members
of the Convention, are the Hon. Kenneth
Raynor, Hon. John A. Gilmer, Hon. Wm
A. Graham, and number of other leading
old line Wings and Americans. What we
wish to call special attention to, is the fact
stated by the writer in the Herald, that those
members of the Convention who formerly be-
fonged TO the Wing OF american party are no,o
farortng the Union Sentiment.
This is emphatcaly true Of the great mass
OF the Southern people. The fact is notori-
ous that Breckenridge Democrats were the au.
thors of the Rebellion. Breckenridge Demo-
erats forced it upon the Douglas and Bell Ev-
erett parties against their better Judgment
and consent.
Breckinridge Democrats organized the Reb.
Ell army and were the first and foremost trail
tors to make war upon the Government and
to dishonor the glorious old flag.
Breckinridgc Democrats have been the head
and front of the Rebellion from the start, and
are so still.
Where Breckenridge Democracy is strong
est there is Treason most rampant. The States
in which Breckinridge received his heaviest
vote in proportion to population were the first
to secede.
Wherever Breckenridge Democracy is in
the ascendent-North or South-there trea-
son, or sympathy with Traitors, is sure to
exist.
The only way to put down Rebellion effect
ually, Is to put down, vote down, and keep
down the Breckinridge Democracy-the kind
OF Democracy" who worship slavery above
