A Yankee School House.
BY yAass RrssgL lowell.

Passing through some Massachu
setts village, perhaps at distance
from any house, it may be in piece
of woods where four roads meet, one
may sometimes even VET sec u small
square, one story building, whose use
would not be long doubtful. X is sum
mer, and the hickering shadows of for
est leaves dapple the roof of the little
porch, whose door stands wide, and
shows, hanging on either hand, rows
of straw hats and bonnets that look as
if they had done goo serviced. AS
You pass the open windows, you hear
| whole platoons of high-pitched voices
discharging words of two or three syl-
tables with wonderful precision and
unanimity. Tnen there is pause, and
| the voice of the officer in command is
heard reproving some raw recruit
whose vocal muskct hung fire. Then
the drill of the small infantry begins
anew, but pauses again because some
urchin-who agrees with Voltairc,
that the superiluous is very neces-
sary thing--insists on spelling sub
traction with an too much. s
If you had the good fortune to be
born and bred in the Bay State, yonr
mind is throngcd with half-sad, half
humorous recollections The alb abs
of little voices long since hushcd in
the mold, or ringing now in the pulpit,
at the bar, or i'll the Senate chamber,
come back to the ear of memory. You
remember the high stool on which cul-
prits used to be elevated with the pa
per fool's-cap on their heads, blushing
to the ears and you think with won
der how you have seen them since as
men climbing the worlds penance
stools of ambition without blush, and
gladly giving everything for llfe's caps
and bells. And you have plcasanter
memories of going after pond-lilies. of
angling for horn-pouts that queer bat
among the fishes--of nutting, of walk
ing over the creaking snow-crust in
winter, when the warm breath of every
household was curling up silently in
the keen blue air. You wonder if life
has any rewards more solid and per-
manent than the Spanish dollar that
has hing around your neck to he re-
stored again next day, and conclude
sadly that it was hut toa true a proph-
ccy and emblem Of all worldly success.
But your moralizing is broken short off
by a rattle of feet, and the pouring
forth of the whole swarm-the boys
dancing and shooting the mere effer-
vesccncc of the fixed air Of youth and
animal spirits uncorked-the sedatcr
girls in confidential twos and thrces
dccanting secrets out Of the mouth of
one cape-bonnet into that of another
Times have changed since the jackets
and trowscrs used to draw up on one
side of the road and the petticoats on
the other, to salute with bow and cour-
tesy the white neck cloth of the par
son or the squire, if it chanced to pass
during intermission.

It's filter being sane than mad.

Though wide compass round be fetched

If thou hast squandered precious time,

Redeem 1t while the lamp of life
May still hold out to burn.
II sin has marked thy path in youth,
And marred thy every Joy,
Seek now In virtue and in truth,
It's traces to destroy.
Folly and crime you ne er had known,
Had you not idle been;
Seek to uproot the tares then sown,
Thy guilty soul within.
Now e'er the darkened mist of age
Has sealed thy fearful doom,
Redeem the time so madly spent,
For heavenly truth make room.
Each moment ye for nanght have spent,
Will be one moment lost
Remember they were only lent,
To mortals tempest tost. .. E..

Lurcd by that voice sublime, ...
Whose deeds Of love along life S track,
Would say, Redeem the time

\ A STEAMSHIP PRoJEoT,-The Walla
Walla Statesman of the Oath contains
letter from the Dalles, from which /
we extract the following:
Late advices from New York report
the organization of a Joint Stock Com
pany, to take charge of the steamship
business on the Pacific Coast. The
new organization is to be known as
"The California, Oregon and Mexican
MailSteamship Company" and to have
o capital stock of $4,000, 900, of which
Ben Holiday retains two.thirds; the
remainder being taken by the other di.
rectors. The Board is composed as
follows Paul S. Forbes, the eminent
ship owner of New York, John Bell,
Samuel S. L. Barlow, Capt. w. l..
Dali, of California, (formerly COM
mander of the Norherner,) John g.
Russell and Ben Holiday. The Com.
pany have already purchased the side
wheel steamer Oryfamn,e, now sup
posed to be on her way to San Fran.
cisco from China. This vessel is quite
new, is OF the same size of the Sierra
Nevada, with less draught of water,
and reputed to be very fast. Another
vessel of the samo character is to be
built by the Company.
With little exertion on the part of
our business men east of the Cascades,
the new Company could be induced to
land their steamers at Astoria, and dis.
charge at that point the freights des
tined for the Columbia River. The
Oregon Steam Navigation Company
would also hail with Joy this new en-
terprise, and run daily line of steam
ers between the latter place and th,
Cascades. This would not only hav,
the effect of saving shippers to Idah,
and Walla Walla the lighterago ia,
and reshipping at the "Emporium,'
but would also lessen the rates o
freights $40 per ton.

The PRESIDENTS PoLIoY.-The sub.
Joined extract is from the Nevada Ga.
sette, and is about as sensible view
of the aims Of extremists as we have
met:
The Sacramento Union says the
"result of tho election in North Caro-.
lima will crafty all the original oppo-
nents of the Presidents generous and
lenient policyw We have no doubt
that it will, and the same men would
be more gratifod still if the rebellious
spirits in tho South would organize
another war. Anything that will keep
up turmoil and trouble in the country,
and postpone the settlement of ques-
tions growing out of the rebellion,
will crafty the opponents of the Pres
ident's policy. Nothing gratifies them
more than the continued manifesta-
tions of a rebellious spirit in the South,
and they have done, and are still do.
ing everything in their power to keep
alive the antagonism of the sections,
for no other purpose that we can im-'
agine, but to force the Government to
continue the military rule in the South.
Tue extremists Of the two sections
played into each others hands for
years, until they succeeded at last in
involving the country in civil war,
and now that the war is ended they
continue the same game with the view
if possible of plunging the whole coun-
try into state of anarchy. The men
who are continually denouncing the
Presidents policy would never be sat-
isfied unless the South would conform
in all particulars to their peculiar
ideas. To what extent the Presidents
policy may be indorsed by Congress
will, of course, depend much on Cir
cumstances; but that it will be SUBJ
stantially approved, we have no doubt
Each House will be the judge as to
what members of Congress shall be
admitted from the different Southern
States. Many who have been elected
cannot be admitted, for they have
taken part in the rebellion and cannot
take the oath required. But the mere
fact that some are excluded on that
account will be no reason for exclud.
ing others from the same States who
are qualified.
