The desire of all teachers,

good will be the result. "Cor.
rect attention is seldom pro-
ductive of lasting good" and
we believe that a decided, affa'
lble, affectionste course is most
effective; and the better meth!
cd, when the course oil a schol'
ar is such that his influence Is
decidedly detrimental to the
general good of the school, is
to send him home to the care
of those who will not see his
faults, or do not sufficiently love
him to haye them corrected.
But how frequently the teacher
is almost disheartened and sad.
ly made to feel the want Of CO.
operation, in .diseharging the
duties OF his trust! If parents
were always sensible that the
richest legacy they can be.

unfading boon of d moral, in-

spiritualize andexalt mankind.
But there is a general apathy
that is indeed deplorable. q
Parents should unite with
the teacher, and by the persua-
J, sive eloquence of authority
and affection combined, exhoft
to duty. 2 Then the 'hei

Suicide or Nathan Brewer.

Mr. Nathan Brewer an old
and well known citizen OF our
county, committed suicide, near
Big Sand Station, on Wednes.
day, March 4th. He had beee1
.laboring under a depression OF
mind for some time, and on.
Wednesday last after settling
up his entire business, he com.
.mitted the deed. he was in
,onr TOWN. the day before, and
purchased number Of revenue
stamps for the purpose stamp.
ing certain papers. connected
with his business affairs "'i-
/ About two months since he
made complaint against David
Keeton, one of his neighborS,
for violation of the revenue
law, and Keeton, in turn, made
the same complaint against
him. Both cases were settled
before the United States Com
missioner, at Cincinnati, but
Brewer had an idea that Mr.
Keeton was going to have him
arrested again, and declared
he would never be tax IN
alive. On Wednesday he went
to Zaleski and purchased pow.
der and lead, loaded a musket
and left home, first giving his
son a box, which he told him
contained all his valuable pa
pers. He then went to the
house of Mr.. Keeton, where he
had not been for more than
two years previous and inquir.
ed if Mr.. Keeton was at home.
Upon being told that Mr.. Kee-
ton was at Big Sand Furnace,
he started in that direction
He sat down on a log ly the
the wayside. A neighbor who
was passing wa, attracted by
-Iihis wild look, and inquired what
he was doing there. Mr.. Brew
er 3elasped his hands to his
head, and said, ,'"Oh, my head
4 It hdrts So" He then got up
dashed his gun to the ground
and Started off with the neigh
lbor. The man became alarm
Fed, and started across field
by a path that led away from
the road, but was soon brough
back by the report Of the gun
and found that the suicide ha(
placed the gun in his mouth
touched the trigger with al
iron weed, the discharge blow

s.Nhe isaMarLinr GIRL ;,

We have frequently heard the above re-

sentiment of ineffable contempt for the
worthless piece Of humanity that uttered il.
u Is source OF deep regret to us that it
may ever be our duty 10 deal harshly with
any portion OF the fair sex who maintain
reputable standing in society, but there are
some, and not . few either, who, though
tneir fsme De unspotted, are 10 filed With
envy, jealousy aud hatred toward their sex.
who happen to be less favored by fortune.
but more perfectly moulded and finished by
nature than themselves. that their bearts are
gall, their souls are wormwood, their bredth
10 pestileDce, whenever they make il con-
venient to speak of them.
These are they who, with q sarcastic leer.
aud scornful turn OF the nose, siigmatize q
..notbing bat working girls" such Young
females as have the moral courage and vir.
tue 10 work with their own hands for an hon.
est livelihood, rather than to be dependent,
destitute or disreputable.
IL 10 sometimes applied opprobriously to
married ladies, after the following manner
''Did you ever see the like, how Mrs. -
dresses herself and children Of late, knew
her when she was a working girl, and her
husband . poor mechanic, and worked for
my father. Now they have got little
something ia the world, and they stick them
selves up as somebodes. 1t is always Just
50 with such creatures, as soon as they get
little start In the world, they forget the
poverty they sprAng from, and then begin to
put on airs Of gentihty. l can't bear them,
for my part"
Reader, if you are a young man, and
should hear anything like the above senti-
ment uttered by young lady to whom you
are paying your addresses, let that be your
last visit. Even II you are under the pro
mise OF marriage Il would be better to break

mise, than 10 be united 70 one SO utterly de-
void OF kind-hearted sympathy for those OF

cal faculties for support, in an honest and
useful vocation

Some time previous to the middle Of
the last century the country around Inyer-
nerness (Scotland) was infested BY a large
band of freebooters, under the command OF
the famous Rob Roy McGreeor, who pat the
whole district under contribution, and ad-
vanced even TO the very walls of the town,
In defiance of . garrison composed Of Eng
ish soldiers. then In possession OF the cas-
tie.
An officer who wss on his way to Inver-
mesa TO pay the troops, and having with him
only very small detachment, By way of an
escort. was obliged to pass the night at an
inn about thirty miles from the end OF his
journey. In the oonrse Of the evening be
saw . man Of good aspect, and dressed 10
the national costume, make his appearance
In the hoase, as il with the intention of re-
mainiDg till morning, and, as the humble
establishment contained only one apartment,
ne invited the stranger TO take par. OF his
supper. The highlander accepted, with an
air OF reluctance.
The o1icer, finding from the conversation
that ensued, that his guest was well acqaint-
ed with the roads and defles through the
country, ensreated him to accompany the
little escort the next morning, disclosing to
him at the same time the object Of his Jour
ney through that wild region, and also the
fears which he entertained of falling into
the hands of that formidable bandit known
by the name Of Bob Roy. The mountain
Ger, after some hesitation, promised to be
mis- guide.
Early in the morning the officer contin-
ued his march, accompanied BY his friend ;
asa IN traversing solitary and sterile glen,
the conversation turned once more upon the
marauding exploits OF the celebrated Rob
Roy, when all Of a sudden, the stranger,
addressing the Englishman, with great en-
ergy, said:
