LOoIcing toward America.

An intelligent London correspondent OF
the New York Herald writing on the 9Th OF
March says;
II am inclined to think if we get things
settled in America, and arrange our differ
cnces with England before the end Of this
year, that the next European mania for
speculation may turn toward the United
States, very likely TO the purchase OF
Southern lands and grand plans of emigra-
ton. In an other year something must be
lone with the vast accumulation of money
now lying idle here and on the continent.

Professor Agassiz, at recent meeting
in Cambridge, Mass, took strong ground
against corpOreal punishment in schools.
He said:
"He could not sit still without saying a
word on this matter. He believed in the
opinion expressed by the first gentleman
who spoke. He had been teacher since
he was fourteen years of age-some forty
years-and he had never struck blow
He believed the fault was with the teacher
whenever corporal punishment was resort
ed tor
ex-governor Washburn concurred with
professor Agassiz:
'There is no need Of whipping girls to
to make them behave, lie reiterated the
acknowledgement by the previous speaker
that in five cases out of seven the fault was
with the teacher rather than with the schol-
ar: If there is necessity for punishment,
it is the duty Of the school committee
to remove the refractory scholar. Whip
ping is positive evil. 1t blunts the intel
lect and the scholars lose self-respect."

IN MEMORY
OF Henry j. Io,cers, died Dcccmber q, 1866.
Gentle friend We know you've left US,
Thy kind face We meet no more;
Quickly past from earth and left us,
May thy spirit freely soar.
In that goodly land beyond US,
Where the weary are at rest,
Where We trust you'll be happy
May the good in heart be blest
You have left dear, good mother,
In whose heart thy love 5 secure;
And brother who will mourn thee,
Since you're with him no more
How we'll miss you in the circle,
When assembled to be gay;
Thy bright smile, Oh! how we'll miss it,
As we onward tread our way.
Back to earth, we fain would call thee
10 this changing world again,
Though in manhood you have left us,
You are through all earthly pain.
Friends and loved ones mourn in sadness.
For the dear one gone before;
Deep in our hearts Wen ever keep thee,
Though with us you stay no more
.." tsH
And again we hope to meet thee,
When the light of life has fled
May We meet with joy to greet thee,
Where no parting tears are shed.
