WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1870
SHE ALWAYS MADE HOME HAPPY.

In an old churchyard stood a stone,
Weather-marked and stained;
The hand Of Time had crumbed Il
So only part remained.
Upon one side | could Just trace,
"In memory Of our motherl"
An epitaph which spoke Of "home"
Was chiseled on the other.
I'd gazed on monuments Of fane,
High towering to the skies,
I'd seen the scuptured marble stone
Where a great hero liesi
But by this epilaph paused,
And read It DER and Ger,
For / had never seen inscribed
Such words as these before.
"she always made home happy" What
A noble record Left
A legacy Of memory sweet
To those she left bcreft,
And what a testimony given
BY those who knew her hest,
Engraved on this plain rude stone,
That marked their mothers rest.
1t was an humble resting place
/ know that they were poor
But they had seen their mother sink,
And patiently endure;
They had marked her cheerful spirit
When bearing one by one,
Her many burdens up the hill
Till oil her work was done.
So when was stilled her weary head,
Folded her hands 50 whitoi
And she was carried from the home
She'd always made so bright,
Her children raised a monument
That money could not buy,
As witness Of a noble life
Whose record is on high
A noble life, but written not
In any book Of lamei
Among the list Of noted ones
None ever saw her name
For only her own household knew
The victories she had won
And none but they could testify
How cell her work was done.

TuE BIBLE IN THE Pupuo SCHOOLS

THE BIBLE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Decision by the Nep York State .Su
periRteadeHt in the HUriey Case
Michael Larkin rs. John H. France.
This isan appeal from the following de.
cision of J. II. France, one of the Trus-
tees of School District No. |, of West
Hurley. At this school there was u
female teacher employed who read the
Protestant version Of the scriptures
each morning at the opening of the
school. Michael Larkin objected to
his children hearing this version of
the Bible read, and so he kept them
from the school until after the read.
ing. BY advice of the Trustees the
children were sent home, the teacher
declaring TO them that they must be
present at the reading referred TO or
stay away all the day; whereupon
Larkin, acting under advice of 4. l..
| Wostbrook, appealed TO Abram b,
Weaver, Superintendent of Public In
struction, who gives his opinion, of
which the following is the substance
"Tho object of the common-school
system of this State is to aiiored the
means of secular instruction to all the
children within its borders. For their
religious training the State does not
provide aud with il does not interfere.
! No distinction is to be made between
Christians, whether Protestants or
Romanists, aud the conscicnccs of
none can bo legally violated
"There is no authority in the case
to use, as n matter OF right, any por-
ton of the regular school hours in
conducting any religious exercises Of
which the attendance of the scholars
is made compulsory. On tho other
hand there is nothing to prevent the
reading of the Scriptures or the per-
Torrance of other religious exercises
by the teacher in the presence OF such
OF the scholars ms may attend volunta.
riy or by direction of their parents or
guardians, if il be done before the hour
fixed for the opening of the school or
after tho dismissal OF the school.
"Neither the common school systom
nor any other social system can be
maintained unless the conscientious
views of all are equally respected
The simple rule so TO exercise your
own rights rs not to infringe on those
of others, will preserve equal justice
among all, promote harmony, aud in
sure success to our schools. Common
schools are supported and established
for the purpose of imparting insiruo
ton in the common English branches
Religious instruction forms no part ol
the course. The proper places IN
which TO receive such instruction art
churches and Sunday schools. The
money to support schools comes from
the people at large, irrespective o
sect or denomination consequently
instruction of a sectarian or religion:
denominational character must be
avoided. and teachers must conform
themselves during school hours tC
their legitimate and proper duties

In an article written Immediately
after the death of Mr.. Stanton and

the consprators became known and
were thwarted by means of commu-

And all this time Stanton was asso.

terms of apparent confidence and
lriendlinoss
One other word, and we drop this
fetid subject for the moment In

stated that Stanton always expressed
"entire confidence in the loyalty OF

"the departments who remained in
association with him until the close

that he was protesting friend and
admirer Of President Buchanan to the

that he despised the whole crew of

also, will some day see the light.
