OUR SCHOOLS.

We mentioned, last week, the re.opening
of our Female Academy, which has now a
hundred and forty pupils and all not yet in.
To-day, we will briefly speak of Rev. S. p.
Chesnuts select female school, where young
ladies can finish of their educations, so far as
education means a thorough scholastic course.
This school has opened with fair prospects,
and is winning its way into popular favor.
DR.. Wardlaw has resumed his school, 10
Stewart College, for males, and his high
standing as man Of learning, renders COM
mendation superHuous. The number of pu-
pills we have not learned.
Mr.. l.. G. Marshal, too, has re-opened his
male school, near the Methodist Church, and
with goodly number Of scholars. Mr.. NJ.
was once Professor in Stewart College, and
is well known to this community as teacher
of marked ability and large experience.
These, and other schools, in this city, offer
facilities for education rarely to be found in
any single locality; and this fact, in con-
nection with the many extraneous advanta-
ges of the location, ought to make Clarks-
vile an educational centre for q large scope
of country. The want of space forbids us
to enlarge upon these topics at this time.

The Philosophy Of Living.
Irritation the Enemy Longevity.

But few men die of age. Almost
all die of disappointment, pasSlonal,
mental or of bodily toll, or of accl-
dent. The passions kill men some
times, even suddenly. The common
expression, "choked with passion y
has little exaggeration in it; for even
though not suddenly fatal, strong pas
sions shorten life. Strong bodied
men often die young-weak men
live longer than the strong, fol- strong
men use their strength, and the weak
lave none to use. The latter take
care of themselves, the former do not.
AS it is with the body, 50 it is with
the mind and temper. The strong
are apt to break, or, like candle, to
"run !" the weak burn out.
The inferior in animals, which live,
in general, regular and temperate
lives, have generally their prescribed
4erm of years. The horse lives about
twenty-five; the OK fifteen or TWEEN
ty; the dog ten or twelve; the lion,
we are told, about twenty ; the rab
bit eight. The duration of life in all
these bear a similar proportion to The
time the animal takes to grow to its
full size. But man, of all the ami
mails, is the one that seldom comes
up to his average. He ought to live
a hundred years according to his
physiological law; but instead Of that
he scarcely reaches, on the average,
four times his growing period; the
eat six times; and the rabbit even
eight times the standard of measure
ment,
The reason for all this is obvious.
Man is not only the most Irregular
and the most intemperate, but the
most laborious and Woodworking OF
all animals. He is the most irritable
of all animals; and there is reason
to belieye-though we cannot tell
what an animal secretly feelS-that
more than any other animal, mar
cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and
consumes himself with the fire o.
secret reflections. Besides this, MAI
|. is the only animal that makes a wide
departure from those laws of nature
which control life. He takes on un
natural and health destroying habits
carrying them to the verge Of th'
grave, and clinging to them with
tenacity which yields not even to hi
better judgment. The lower order
ST animals never do this. Instinct
is their guide, and the superior du
ration of life they enjoy is proof o
the folly of man.

\ GOOD RETORT. The Raleigh,
North Carolina correspondent of the
Commercial is thus noticed, by the
Richmond (Na.,D Wing. 1t says:
"The INSCRIPTIONS correspondent
cites the use of an axe TO cut wood,
instead of buck and saw as ev-
idence of Southern interiority, and
points triumphantly to the aPseAce
of free schools, decent burial grounds
and of paved and lighted streets, as
indications of the same. Were not
all our saw mills, tools, farming inn
plemcnts, and all other convenienceS
destroyed 10y the Northern armies |!
Were not our burial grounds, in nu-
mcr0uS instances, ravaged, and the
monuIhentS erected to the dead
broken to pieces or defaced ! As to
free schools, We had no use for them
before the war, being so fortunate as
topossess the means to pay for the
education off children. AS to the
presence OF Northern teachers they
came without any invitation from us,
and we would only be too happy if
such as came here since the war had
only Staid away. They are a pesti-
lent set, male and female, and ii is
from them chiefly, we believe, that
most of the falsehOods about the
South emanate."

TRoUBLES.-SOme people are as
careful of their troubles as mothers
are of their babies; they cuddle them,
and cry over them, and fly into
passion at you if you try to take
them away from them; they want
you to fret with them, and to help
them to believe that they have been
worse treated than anybody else. If
they could, they would have pie
ture of their grief in gold frame
hung over the mantle shelf for every
body to look at. And their grief
makes them ordinarily selfish-they
think more of their dear little grief
in the basket and in the. cradle than
they do all the world beside and
they say YOU are hard-hearted if yOu
say don't fret" ''Ah you don't un-
derstand mc-you don't know me
yOu can't enter into my trials. =

Suffering Ill-Treatment with Humili
ty and Silence.

I am touched, as I ought to be,
with all your sorrows; but can only
pity you, and pray God to console
you, You greatly need His spirit to
support you i'll your trial, and to ten
der your natural excitability on an
occasion so calculated to awaken it.
When God would teach US to die to
ourselves, he touches us in the ten
derest part; our weakness is the
measure of our trial Be humble.
Silence and peace, in a state of hu-
initiation, ere the true health of the
soul. We are tempted to speak hum
bly,, and we find thousand excuses
for it; it is still better to be silent,
for the humility that speaks may be
suspected. Selt-love consoles itself
a little by speaking, -.
DO not be vexed at what people
say. Let them speak, Willie you en-
deavor to DO the will of God YOU
will never succeed in pleasing men,
and it would not be worth the trou-
bic, il YOU could. A little silence,
peace, and communion with God, will
compensate you for all Your injus-
tice of men. We must love our fel-
low-beings, without depending upon
their friendship. They leave us,
they return, and they go from us
again. Let them go or come; it is
the feather blown about by the wind.
Fix your attention upon God alone,
in your connection with them. 1t is
he alone who through them consoles
or affiicts you. .....-..
All your tirmness srcquired in the
situation in which you are placed;
but your impetuosity must meet with
trials and obstacles. Possess your
soul in patience. Renew often with
in y0u the feeling Of the presence of
God, that you may lehrn moderation.
There is nothing truely great but
holiness, charity, fear of ourselves,
and detachment from the domain of

HEAvEN.-A living divine says;
"When | was a boy | thought OF
heaven as a great shining city, with
vast walls, and domes, and spires,
and with nobody init except white,
tenuouS angels, who were strangers
to me. By-and-by my little brother
died, and | thought of a great city
with walls, and domeS, and spires,
and n flock OF cold unknown angels,
and one little fellow that ! WIS ac-
nuainted with. He was the only one
knew IN that time. Then another
brother died, and there were two
that ] knew. Then my acquaintances
began to die. and the flock continual
" grew. But it was not till had
sent one of my little children to his
arandp$rent-God-that | began to
think | had got little in myself \
second went, third went, fourth
went, and by that time | had so
many acQuaintances in heaven, that
| did not see any mote walls, and
domes, and spires. Ibegan to think
of the residents of the celestial city.
And now there have so manv of my
acquaintance gone there, hat 1t
sometimes seems to me that | know
more in heaven than | do on earth.

The FLooD.-It has rained nearly every
day and night for week. On Monday
morning about tro the clouds ripped or
tore or ''busted'' and the rain became
simply an upset of the ocean overhead
Owing to the insufficiency Of the sewers,
it was only few moments till the cellars
along Main street from Rowland's resi-
dence to Kurtz and Millers were full of
water. IN the pouring storm it was i'm
possible to rouse any one scarcely and the
mischief was done before much alarm
could be given. There are some serious
losses. +. p. Clarke & Co., Grocers and
Tobacconists will lose somewhere from
$500 to $4,000. Capt. Morril, Confection-
or in the cellar of the same building, is
minus to 400. Barron 4 Co. are out in
sugars &C., 2 to 5000. Merrill, Dearborn
Il Shaw lose in sugars and tobacco and
other groceries as much as $1,000. Kurtz
& Miller in wines and liquors, will lose
near $500. The water in their cellar rose
nine feet in 20 minutes! Carter Bros, Ac.
Implements, are covered with mud hut riv-
or water will cure that. The other stores
along there were mostly dry goods, cloth
ing, boots & shoes &C., and the cellars con-
tanned nothing. Rowlands floor had a
foot or two of water on it, but all the car
pets and furniture were raised out of dam
ger before the food got into the house.
The above are the principal losses. Nc
Gregor is used to these visitations and al
ways will be till proper sewers are made.

OuTRAcE.-On Saturday evening last at
North McGregor, some raftsmen from above
played ''pigeon hole at a German saloon.
AT nightfall they quit without paying for
several hours Of fun and several glasses of
lager. On retiring to their river home one
fellow pocketed two of the balls young
man named Karl Baker followed them out
and requested the return of the balls. He
was called Dutch - of a. and
knocked down with rocks in the hands of
the rufGans. Mr.. Bakers head was badly
cut to pieces and it was thought he would
die but he is now recovering. Our Off

but the criminals had escaped.

So.-The Gazette dc Davenport, whose
Editor was not long since relieved OF
the P. 0. at that place for few foolish re-
marks relative to "thc Government ex-
presses fears that the approaching State
Convention of Republicans will be a "milk
and water affair." The Gazette man, like
the fox whose tail was cut off in the trap,
is endeavoring to persuade the other ami
mails that short tails are "all the CO." but
somehow the fellows who have well-furred
caudal narratives in the shape Of Asses
sorships, Collectorships, Post Offices, Gus
tom-house positions and "sich," do not
fancy this innovation on Republican fash
ions. Generally the God and humanity
fellows hold on to an Office like leach to
a vein of the sanguiniferous fluid. Re-
curing to milk and water, let us say that
precious little water will be used by the
delegates at Des Moines; and if any ono Of
them misses "milk'' it will be for the rea-
son that there are not teats enough to go
round.

New SrEAMER.-The City of St Paul
built at La Crosse last winter is below as
we write. Her first trip was made to st.
Paul on Sunday week. The editors of the

of the trial trip; it was an excursion; we
are indebted to Capt. Moulton for copy
of the Democrat. The St. Paul is q
beauty, 25l by 81 feet, S #. hold, Is #.
wheels two engines, #. stroke, 4 boilers
26 # long by So inches diameter, when
light she draws q inches only. We be-
lieve all that the Democrat says of Capt.
Moulton, Clerks Hall and Norton and the
other officers A few words with the Cap
tain and his putting himself to some
trouble to oblige us won our.. regard at once.
From St. Paul The st. Paul went to TT.
Smelling for 'Billy'' Sherman and fine
time was had generally both on boat and
on shore. Coming down the river rcsolu-

by the excurtionists. Success to the pref
ty craft and her obliging officers. ii

OIL.-Advices from Sparta through the
papers of that region, Eagle and Herald,
indicate close proximity to oil on the
part of the "Gem'' Petroleum Co. Mr..
Crane, their Superintendent, is IN expert

the character of the rock through which he
is now passing is very strong; the water
is hourly becoming more Petroleum-ish-
the rock is perfect sample Of that in the
