Rev. John Pierpont and his New
Monument at Mt Auburn Ceme-

A great many years since, while was
a resident of Royalton, VT, Jacob Col
lamer, then State school commissioner,
and subsequently postmaster general OF
the United States, called me into his law
office and remarked, g As you are fond
of reading wish to call yonr attention
to the National Reader, selection of
articles made by John Pierpont, and
also said that "his books would soon be
introduced into the Vermont schools, to
take the place of SCOTS Lessons, Art
of Reading, American Preceptor, and
others.
Mr.. Collamer then spoke of the birth
of American literature, and of the ex-
quisite taste displayed by Mr.. Pierpont
in culling its choicest gems for his new
books. He then read audibly, with
tones, emphasis and cadence that added
much force to the beauty of the compo
sition, extracts from orations of Edward
Everett and DR.. Dewey, and handed
the book to me to take home and exam
inc at my leisure. [ did so, and was
very impatient for the appearance of
the 6 American School Glass Book,
which, upon its arrival, was pronounced
by good judges fully equal if not supe-
rior to the g First National Reader"
MIR. Pierpont originally purchased lot
No. Is, nearly opposite the Chickering
Enclosure, in Mount Auburn Cemetery,
but it passed into other hands, and his
friends purchased new lot on Lavender
Path, near the site of the old one, and
removed his remains from Medford to
the new locality. 1t is in a beautiful
and romantic spot, and there is a fine
view If portions of Boston, Cambridge
and Brighton from its borders.
The monument lately erected to his
memory consists of massive granite
plinth, which supports deeply
base of red sandstone. This latter men,
Der is surmounted by die of the same
material, sustained by buttresses at the
angles and enriched with ornamental
columns and Gothic arches, inclosing
panels for inscriptions, and also with
cinqueport embellishments. A we'll

ture. 1.-t

Skill. AND PREPARATION.

The necessity for higher skill in al
most every branch of human industry,
is being felt as growing demand upon
the present generation. We have too
many poor workmen in our mechanical
occupations, and too few good ones, too
many quack doctors, pettifogging law
yers and narrow minded, ignorant min
listers in the professions, and altogether
too few physicians, counsellors, adyo-
Gates and high-minded clergymen to pro-
tect the health, liberty and property of
the people, and engender a holy religious
feeling among the free citizens of this
Christian land The trouble is not that
we have no intelligent boys and young
men to furnish the raw material for
higher aims and better work in all the
departments of human industry, but tits
because the genius of American am
bition will not allow the Yankee youth
to take sufficient time to perfect himself
in the chosen pursuit of life before he
undertakes to exercise the mysteries. Of
