The Normal school.

The question is often asked, els the Nor
NAL School to be started the present sea-
son ?" Unfortunately the act organizing
the State Normal School provides that it
shall take effect and be in force from and
after it's publication in the statute book"
Consequently. nothing could be done until
the publication of the statutes. The act
also provides Board of Directors, to be
appointed by the Governor. Gov. Carney
told Mr.. E5kridge that he would appoint
two or three from this county, nominated
by the people. The nominations were
made several months ago, but as yet no ap-
pointmerts have been made. Mr.. Carney
is now absent, bat is expected home in a
fe~ days, and upon his return the business
will receive attention. Aware that this
tardy action of the Governor and printers
would endanger the successful opening of
the school the present season, the friends of
the enterprise have been endeavoring to
make ali possible preliminary arrangements
so as to help on the action of the Board OF
Directors, whenever appointed. The EN-
poria school district has generously voted
to appropriate the upper. room of its school
building to the use of the Normal School.
A better room could not probably be found
in the State. 1t is hoped chat no common
or second class teacher will be employed in
the institution, but that the corps of in
structors will possess that tact, originality,
enthusiasm and tai force, that shall leave
their impressions deeply stamped upon the
mind Of every student. If this is secured
which we hope will be. the school will be-
come what It's friends hope it will be-ar
ornament to our State, and an incalculable
blessing to our youth. But this is sntici
pating. I! was not my purpose to say any
thing more about the Normal School till af
ter the Board was appointed, as it OTTER
happens

The PennIa and the War.

From motives of obvious policy copper
he lad will generally claim to be in favor OF q
war to suppress rebellion. He confesses
himself at the same time opposed to all meas
ures adopted FOR prosecuting the war Tor that
purpose. This mode has the advantage OF
being equally as effective in embarrassing
and obstructing the Government, while it not
only MAY, be employed to deceive and mislead
the unthinking and ignorant, but affords loop
hol7 out of which those who adopt it may
escape IRON conviction OF downright, un-
conditional dsloyalty.
e When, however, the advocates of war but
the opponents of tie war are crosse xamlned
aIittle they are sure to give unmistakabie
assurance of their radical and consistent
hostility TO all effective war measures. They
are almost sure TO betray their substantial
friendship TO the rebel cause, and their de-
sire to see the war ended by the failure OF
the North and che successful establishment OF
an independent Southern Confederacy. Only
now and then, however, some. men like Lone
Of Ohio. or HARRIs of Maryland, have the
courage openly to avow these sentiments
But the country is not so blind but 1t can see
that the great body of opposition represent
atives in Congrcss-the men who have de-
ceived the people into voting for them by
protesting to be in favor of putting down the
rebellion, and only differing from Repubi-
cans and War Democrats as to the means
are at heart in full sympathy with these out
l. a., 4
Now the masses of the people of the North
Of all parties are loyal There is no cousid-
e.,lle number of the great body of men
who have voted for Copperheads hitherto
that feel any utilization with men who openly
declare themselves in favor ofrecognizing the
Southern Confederacy. They may have
been misled into voting for leaders who
90 to Washington to aid and abet treas
on, but they have only to get their eyes
fairly opened to the real character of those
leaders TO cast them off forever. Let not
these corrupt and dastardly enemies of the
National cause imagine. because they have
once deceived the people, that they can con
tinue to do so in the future. With every
months experience of the real spirit of such
demagogues as ELDRIDGE and such prevaricat-
ing and lodging trimmers as BROWNE, of this
State, the masses of the people are learning
to ,preciate the true relations and tenden-
cies of parties, aud the ranks Of the Union
organization are swelling with new recruits.
The people of all parties see that there is no
hope of peace except by the subjugation OF
rebellion, and they will stand by those men
who ~ Washington and elsewhere are open
ly, earnestly, and unconditionally in favor OF
that policy

THE LOVED AND LOST.

The following poem from the Church Of England
Magazine, will comes like SO song in the night, }"
to many stricken heart
- The loved and lostP why do we cali them st
Because miss them from ar onw ard 70 ad?
Gods unseen angel FER our pathway crost,
Looked on us all and loving them the most,
Straightway relieved them from life swearyi cal .
They not lost they ere within the door
That shuts out loss, and every hurtful thing
ffith angels bright, and Loves ones gone before,
In their Reseenler's presence evermore,
And God himself their Lord and Judge and King
And this we call a loss - o, selfish sorrow
OF selfish hearts o, of little faith
Let US look round, some argument to borrow
Why we in patience should await the morrow
That surely must succeed this night of death.
Ave look upon this dreary desert path,
The thorns and thlstles wheresoe' er we turn !;
What trials and what tears, what wrongs and wrath
What struggles and what strife the journey hath?
They have escaped from these; and 10 We mourn.
Ask the poor sailor when the wreck is DONE
Who with his treasu stroye the shore to reach
" lille with the raging waves he struggled on,
Was it not JOY, where every JOY seemed gone,
10 see his owed ones landed the beach
A poor wayfarer leading by the hand
A little child, had halted by the well
To wash from of her feet the cIiaging sand,
And tell the tired boy OF that bright land
Where, this long journey passed, they Ionged 10
When 10 the Lord, who many mansions had,
Drew and looked upon the suffering twain,
Than pitying smoke. Give me the little Lad
In siren 9Th renewed an d glorious beauty clad:
I'll bring him with me when come again.
Did she make answer selfshly and wrong
Nay but the woes feel, ne, too, must share!''
Or rather, bursting into grateful song,
She went her way rejoicing, and made strong
To struggle since he freed from care.
We will do likewise death hath made no breach
In love and sympathy, IN hope and trust
No outward sign or sound our ears can reach,
But there's an inward, spiritual speech,
That greets Us still, though mortal tongues BIZ
dust
1t bids do the work that they laid down
Take up the song where they broke of the strain
so iourneyIng till reach the heavenly town,
Where laid up ur treasures and crown,
And our lost loved ones will be found again.
