To prove these positions, he made extended remarks under the following heads:

 Education is not to give child mental facul- ties, but to teach him to make the most of their evolution. We are too apt to cram youthful minds as we coal steamer. We need material not so much as training. The scholar should be made conscious of his mental power, and the teacher has only to direct his mental operations ito instruct him the way to study. If man is bungler in any business, he must use blarney to succeed If he understands his business, his work will speak for him; aud no nsaass ,chat his n,anners are, he will succeed. But the most n,ischierous aking of all is gorernneut in schools. " Perhaps my audience will say am trying to excuse myself" :" If you begin aright government will take care of itself. make scholar unhappy who does not work but my scholars are allowed to be, and are, happy when out of doors." Neither society nor scholars will bear to be beneglected in detail. Some schools will be mischievous, and will stand with their horns presented about a teacher like steers around dog. have seen men fail to drive oxen, who would have succeeded, had they known half as much as the oxen. Study should be made pleasant to children" "Not one scholar in three hundred needs corporeal pun ishment; but verify believe there is once in while specimen of cursed,sess, ,cherc tt is e good Ming to apply to bis Aide!" If scholars are allowed to go to parties, to dances or to pore over yellow-covered literature, it is useless to send them to school.'

 At the close of the lecture, Rev. William T. Bacon moved a vote of thanks for the gentle mans instructive address, which was carried unanimously, the audience voting by rising. c.

Deep, dense, and frosty are the msts of purple


And leaden shadows Of that soundless vale,
Where walk the trembling souls OF the departed,
with rrayerful attitude and faces pale.
Toward the Land of God they keep their journey;
Toward the Judge toward the Great White


Throne;


Each bearing on his brow the faithful record


OF every good and evil action done.
On through the darkness and the limpid eodness.
With fears and doubts and ever noseless tread
Bowed down with burdens OF sincere repentance,
They walk the shadow'd Valley of the Dead.
Filled with remorse and meek humiliation,


Before their sight they struck with ave. behold
The light which hovers DER tn Eternal City


Whose gates are pearl, and amethyst, and gold.
Fathers and mothers wonder there together


Brothers and sisters pierce the same deep gloom;
Unrecognized, it may be, by each other


Since they have passed the ordeal oil the tomb
And there the faithful wife and faithless husband
Unseen by each, pursue the same dread path
Each walking in each others mufied footsteps
That bear them nearer to His love or wrath.
Oh dreadful thought that in that realm of shadows
No fond hand will be found to take our own!
Oh, solemn truth. that through that murky valley,
To God and judgment we must walk alone
There, king and peasant side by side shall journey;
There, lords and tenantry shall equal be-
And, purged of every earth obtained distinction,
The great and small alike His power shall see.

of Mr.. Gwin's bypocri!ical character, very perth
nently remarks:


If it were necessary, there might be nine or
ten separate counts made against old Mr.. Gwin,
either of which would damn everastingly the
most popular man in ChIistendom but there is
one, above all the rest, that may be said to be
conclusive, as to his utter, sOulless, undeniable
hypocrisy, and that is the Daily Overland Mail
Bill. There can be no kind Of equivocaton upon
this. lie was opposed to it, but did not dare to
make his opposition known, lest, as a rebuke to
his treachery, the friends of California should
pass the bill Coming here, where he is known
to have stock in the Butterfed Overland Horse
Shoe route, circumstances have compelled him to
admit that he did not want the bill to pass, and
now comes the record, proving that be was appa-
rently in favor Of it, while il was under discus
sion. Was ever more fragrant case of depravity
exhibited in all the Legislative history of the
country, or was ever an old hypocrite more eiiec-
tually unmasked, by his own duplicity? We
think not. Gwin's filthy, black breast, is now
laid entirely bare, and all who look upon it, turn
away with loathing and disgust. lie is unfit to
associate with even the worst of his thieying

A BRIDEGROOM SoLD.-Thc Marysyile Express,
of September 10Th, relates the following in
cident:


A few evenings since q bridal party stopped
at one of the hotels in this city The marriage
ceremonies had been performed in the morning
in an adjoining county. As matter of course
all was mirth and hilarity. At an advanced
hour in the evening some one of the party con
cluded to have little fun by playing trick on
the good looking and worthy groom. The bride
was apprsed of what was going on and readily
gave her consent She retired with one of the
bridesmaids to a chamber, and there concealed
herself, while her companion dressed a pillow
with that part of o lady's wardrobe which graces
them on such occasions, and placed it in the
bridal bed, with its face to the wall. Everything
being properly prepared the bridegroom was in
formed that the bride had retired, whereupon he
arose. took O lighted candle and also retired.
He had scarcely entered the door before the
light was eXtinguished (for what purpose we
know not,) and all was silence for about ten
minutes, when the door flew open and out pop
ped the bridegroom, who rushed hastily down
stairs, without stopping to speak or be spoken to-
merry peal of laughter rang through the halls
at his expense, but this only served to increase
his velocity in his flight. The suppositon was
that he was going to take a drink During his
absence curious eyes examined the pillow bride
and found distinct indentaton around its waist
about the size of mans arm. The pillow was
removed and The bride retired in good faith, but
it was long before the groom made his appear
ance again. Fears began to be expressed that
the joke was too much for him, aud he had de-
parted in consequence thereof; but he finally
made his appearance in the parlOr, and looked
as though he "neyer was so mad in all his life
about any little thing" AT very late hour
he again ventured to retire, but it is said that
the candle was not extinguished until ample
opportunity was afforded him to learn the true
state of the case.

the country it 10 not at all uncommon to see
machines standing in the open field, on the
very spot where the reaping was finished last
year There they stand through rain and
shine, summer and winter, to rot aud rust,
swell and shrink. and it is no wonder that they
soon get out Of order and become useless. We
undertake to say that no good farmer will be
guilty ofperpetrating such waste. 1t is . good
thing for the dealer, but such husbandry is
outrageous. Buy good machines and then
take care of them, and they will last many
years.

Our principles are only these we hold
that slavery is wrong, and inconsistent with
the best iutrests ef the people, and we de.
mand that it shall be limited. This lnita-
tion will not be hard upon you, because you
have land enough to support population as
large as that Of Europe, and centuries will
roll away before you will occupy what you
now have. The next thing we hold is the
principle of the Homestead bill aud we
demand, also, that there shall be protection
to Northern labor against the pauper labor
of Europe. These are the only measures of
the Republican party.


Mr.. Wade closed by referring to the free
negroes of the country, who, he said, were,
the victims Of deep rooted prejudice, so
deep as to make it apparent the two races
could not ihhabit the same place Many
States were now trying to drive them out.
He thought this Government owed it to
justice and to themselves to provide some
means whereby this unfortunate class might
emigrate to some congenial climate, where
all their faculties would be developed
There were such countries in Central Ameri-
ca, where climate and soil are alike suited
to them, and where place could be obtained
for them.


He would not do them an injustice, or in
any way compel them to do anything against
their interests, but he hoped this principle
would be engrafted on the Republican plat
form, and then we shall hear no more about
negro equality or anything of that sort.
He would have the two races separate, and
have them both prosperous aud happy in the
climate best suited to their nature-each

oppression which is the God-giver right of

BY BISHOP HEBBR.
Is it to go to Church to-day,
To look devout and seem to pray
And ere the morrow's sun goes down
Be dealing SANDER through the town
Does every sanctmonious face
Denote the certain reign of grace 7
Does not phiz that scolds at sin
OFT veil hypocrisy within
Is it to make our daily walk
And of our good deeds to talk,
Yet often practice secret crime,
And thus msspend our precious time ?
Is it for sect or creed to fight,
To call our zeal the rule OF right,
When what we wish is at the best,
To see our church excel the rest 2
Is it to wear the Christians dress,
And love to all mankind profess,
And treat with scorn the humble poor,
And bar against them every door
oh, no, religion means not this
Its fruit more sweet and fairer is
Its precept this, to others do
AS you would have them do to you.
It grieVes to hear all i'll report,
And scorns with human woes to sport
OF others deeds it speaks no i'll,
But tells of good or keeps it still.
And does religion this impart ?
Then may its influence fill my heart
Oh ! haste that blissful, joyful day,
When all the earth may own its sway.

n. Y. journal of Commerce says that the
Democratic Senators are in doubt what to
do about the admission of Kansas. They
are aware that its rejection twill be unpop-
uar iD the North, and may loose them some
electoral votes. To admit Kansas, as a
slave state, with a population of thirty
thousand, and to refuse to admit her as a
free state, with population of seventy-fve
thousand to one hundred, would be rather
Inconsistent on the part of the democratic
majority of the Senate"


We should think So The Senate, how
ever, we think, will not consent to admit
the state under any circumstances. The
impression is that the North will succumb.

Candy can only be made from sugar
when moIasses is boiled, the sugar it con-
tain, is brought TO solid condition, and. of
course, the more sugar there is in the mo-
lases, the better the prospect of getting

charcoal or carbon, the sugar is wanting
and you will not succeed in making candy
from such an article, unless sugar be added
to it. To make ''}yime article" get mo-
lasses Of a light color, rich in sugar, put it
in a pan, and set it over the fire; confec-
tioners use copper pans. The pan should
not be more than half full, as it is very La
BILE to boil over at first. To prevent this
in some degree, add little piece of butter
perhaps half the size of hickory nut.
whenever it boils near the top, and be ready
to take it from the fire, if that should fail.
When it fairly gets to boiling, there is not
so much danger of its running over.


To ascertain when it is boiled enough,
drop little into cold water, as as soon as
it has become cold, try it with the teeth

If it bites tough, it is not boiled enough, but
If it cracks between the teeth, and seems
very brittle it is done. Then Immediately
take it from the fire, and pour it on some
thing to cool, and you have molasses candy.
In proportion as it is boiled TO this degree,
il will require more careful watching TO
preyent burning. Do not let ii boil as rap
idly, and try it oftener. until it cracks and
snaps between the teeth or fingers. some
times little saleratus is added to the can

it off the fire, sprinkle in the saleratus, still
it quickly for moment, and pour it out
