A late number of the "Pall Mall
Gazette" contains curious letter
from Antwerp, describing aper-
formance there of a miracle-play,
after the fashion of those singular
exhibitions which are held every
twenty years in the Ober Ammer-
gau, near Munich lone of which
was so graphically described by
Miss Howitt.) A drama on the
sufferings and death of the Saviour,
not after Bavarian fashion in the
open air, but behind the foot lights
of modern stage, (the play, be it
observed, sanctioned by the Roman
Catholic Church, offers a tumble
of things sacred and profane so
strange as almost to make us
doubt the fight of Time, or the
reality of progress.

which have heretofore divided the
sentiments of the people of the

secede from the Union-they re-

Ipleased to learn from the leading
men whom / met that they not on

as final, but that now the smoke
of battle has cleared away, and
time has been given one for reffec-
ton, that this decision has been a
fortunate one for the whole coun-
try, they receiving the like benefits
from it with those who opposed
them in the field and in the Cabi.

/ Ny observations led me to the
conclusion that the citizens of the
Southern States are anxious to re.
turn to self-government within the
Union as soon as possible; that
while reconstructing they want
and require protection from the

citizens, and that if such a course
was pointed out they would pur-
Isue it in good faith. 1t is to be

greater commingling at this time

sections, particularly those en-.

charge of ill-treatment OF her
step-daughter, about thirteen years

the night Mr.. Wells heard a noise
in the front room, and supposed it
was the cat or dog that had got in

Imagine his surprise to find the
body of the child turned in the
coffin. He raised it up, and the
little thing opened its eyes, looked
up and commenced crying. The
physician was sent for, and the
whole neighborhood was soon
aroused. Nourishments were adj

Our Public Schools.

We learn that an effort is about to be
made for the passage of law, allowing
such persons as see fit to withhold the a
mount of their school tax from the public
schools for term of six years, and appro-
pirate the same to the erection of new A
cademy building. Much as we desire to
see new Academy built, yet we think it
imprudent, if not unjust, to divert the pub
lie school fund from its legitimate channel
Under the law, it is the means of enabling
all classes to gain liberal education, but
by taking so large sum from that fund,
would it not, in all probability, be the means
of closing up our public schools for six years,
and thus deprive many of the benefits Of
educational instruction for that period We
hope better counsel will prevail. and that
the proposition to divert the public school
fund will be abandoned at once
An Academy is designed for the teaching
of the higher branches of education, and it
is only those who have the means that can
avail themselves of its benefits and advan-
.tages. Poor men can not send their sons
and daughters to such an institution, as the
price of tuition is generally beyond their a.
bility. But, says one 1--WE only propose to
take our own money for the purpose desig-
mated" That is true. But, by withdraw
ing considerable portion of the funds, will
you not close up the public schools, and
thereby not only keep many in ignorance,
but encourage idleness, mischief and crime
Would not our town, if such should be the
result of this movement, be filled with va
grants and vagabonds, whose corrupting in
auenee would contaminate all with whom
they came in contact? Would you not
have to keep up, at an increased cost, jails
and poor houses, instead of public schools2
If such consequences are likely to ensue,
and We leave it to every intelligent man and
woman to say whether this is not to be ap
pretended, Christian charity and Christian
duty, as well as proper and enlarged view
Of economy, will certainly dictate what
course each one should pursue.
We have men of .means-men of great
iberality and philanthropy in our midst,
and We think little calm and candid re-
fection, on this all-important subject, will
convince them of the utility of erecting a
new Academy building by other means than
BY diverting portion of the public school
fund to that purpose.
