VISITING SCHOOLS. • Most poor matters Point to tich ends." Sfytri'peare. The teacher and parent sustain a near rela tion to each other; and they, in their respec tive capacities from and build up the mtnd thai is to sway a powerful infhience throughout future generations. They both h*.ve a great work to GO, and their stations are fraught with great respontibi!if tes. When (he child leaves the parental roof and is under the care of the teacher, the parent's obligations do not neces sarily nil devolve on Ihe teacher true, the teacher is recognized in loco parentis, but to him are not delegated all the duties and re sponsibilities of the parent. The parent has still a task to perform, and one which is so very much neglected, viz: visiting his children at school. We believe it to be the imperative doty o? ail parents to visit the schools, but how few consider it such! Every where we hear teachers complaining that their schools are not visited by the parents of children under their C3re, and the teachers naturally infer that none are interested in their work but themselves, and become discouraged. But some persons look upon the school room as a kind of reserved place, into which none but the teacher and pupils are allowed to enter. This is a fatal mistake. Our schools are em phatically free school : free and common (o all: and a! 1 have, or should have, a common inter est in their wellfare. For lour long months the teacher is impounded with his pupils and it . ?, matter of surprise, if, during all that lime, a single parent find his way to the school-room to impart a word of encourgemenf, or by his ore--- 'ce to indicate that he has an interest in what is thc'.e Uansp'riog. In fa-t parents have no idea of what is being done in the schoolroom, except what they gather from report—which is often Exaggerated and untrue. —and if the teacher is not of the right s'amp, if he performs not his whole duly toward his pupils, their education, moral, physical, and intellectual, will be wofullv neglected. "But," says a 'eacner, "my school is occa sion:. I, visited, for it was but the other day that Mr. SENSITIVE came flying in, and, because ] had taken occasion to rightfully punish his son John, was so enraged that be threatened mv very existence as a tpacher." Such unlaw ful visitations should not be tolerated by the teacher, ard.much less attempted by the pa rents. Let them come, not for the purpose of intimidating the teacher on account of some im aginary wrong which he has committed 10-1,-; 1,-; c.sichen, but to examine for themselves tlv; machinery of the school room, and see "whether these things are so"; ant they will go away, pleased with their visit, and convinc ed that the teacher is a reasonable being after all, and not such a cruel monster as some would represent l.im to he. What an amount of misrepresentation would I. checked if the schools were visited by the parents! What an encouragement it would be to the pupils to see that their parents are really interested in their gmng to school; and what a stimulus to greater exertion to the teacher, to have the assurance that his labors are apprecia ted ! It would be a rav of sunshine to the pu ; 1, ii luminal in;; his dark path up the rugged s'. ]s of the Hill ol Science ! Patents should make it their duty to visit the school regula rly; and nothing would be more gratiiyiug to the teacher than to see one or more of them at his school every day. They will be most cordially welcomed, both by the teacher and pupils. Parents, try it! It is a simple experiment and will cost you nothing but a little time, which you conoot better employ; and the re sult will Ur exceed you- most sanguine anti cipations. Its influence will be a? "bread cast upon the waters, that shall return to us after many days." ' • RURAL. A WARNING TO TEACHERS. Fellow teachers, be. careful of fire' —List night, about two hours after returning to bed, my peaceful slumbers * were disturbed by the cry of fire. The gentleman with whom I am hoarding heard 'lie barking of his dog, and sup posing something 'o be wrong anout the barn, irose and went loth" window to see what was the matter, and noticed what appeared to be i building on fire. When he fust saw the re flection of the light, he thought his barn was on fire; but on going out he beheld mv school honsp enveloped in flames. He instantly gave t .

It was a nea!y built situated on a beautiful eminence, one and 2 half miles from Hopewell, and about a quarter of a mile from E-quire Thomas IV. Horton's. It was called Mount Pleasant, from the beauti ful senery which surrounded it. I had been teaching one month and fifteen day", and had nineteen as bright scholars as ever entered a school-ioom. Tl)ey always came with tbeir lessons prepared and their youthful faces glow ing with smiles until yesterday morning. I have witnessed touching scenes, but none so pit iful as a group of scholars standing around the ruins of their schoolhouse, giving their f-elings in tears and sobs. F-Jlow teachers, once more I entreat you, to be careful oj fire. Hopewell, Jan. 8, 1862. M. E. P. (,OV. LETCHER'S MESSAGE- On the 6ih inst. Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, sent his message io the legislature of the State, accompanied with a letter from Governor Brown, and the joint resolutfbns recently a dopted bv the Legislature of Georgia, in which they declare that the separation of the latter State "is final and irrevocable, entertain any proposition irom any quarter which may have Jor its object a restoration or reconstruction of the old Union on auv teims or conditions what ever." The message is an extraordinary "State pa per a portion of it mii'ales the style of our Declaration of Independence, substituting the name of President Lincoln for George the 1 bird, in setting forth lis grievances.—The Governor is lull of fight, and manifests a spirit of reckless daring and a determination o conquer or die. One of his closing paiagraphs is the follow ing: "The occurrences of the past nine months have demonstrated conclusively that we cannot live together as equals under the Government of the United States, and the habitual violation of the provisions of the Constitution, and the open disiegard of the laws by President Lincoln and his official, render governmental association be tween us impossible. Mutual confidence has been succeeded by mutual hatred and aver sion. No government can be enduring which does not possess the affection and respect of the governed. It cannot be that the people of ihe Confederate States can again entertain a feeling of aff-ction and f3p*ct fcr the Govern ment of the U. Slates. YVe believe, therefore, separation *is ami ought U be 'final and irre vocable'—that Virginia will, under no circum stances, entertain any proposition, from any quarter, which may have for it 3 object a res toration or reconstruction of the late Union, on any terms and conditions whatever." A ('heap Breakfast. A son of Erin, at Schenectady, heard the breakfat b-'ll ring on boaid a canal boat just starling out for Buii!o. The fngance of the viands induced him to go aboard. "Sure, Captain, dear, (said he,) and what'ti ve ax a man for travellin' on yer illegand swan of a boat * Only a cent and a half a mHe, and found," replied the captain. "An' is IP the vittals ye mean to find, suie ?" "Yes. And if you are going along, go down to breakfast." Pat didn't wait to be told a second time, but having descended into the cabin and made a hi-atty meal, he came on deck and requested that the boat might be stopped. "What do you want to slop for?" inquired the captain. •'ll iw far have we come?" asked Pat. "Only a little over a mile." Pat thereupon handed the captain two cents, and coolly told him th.'l he oeiieved he would not go any further with him, as Judy would wait the breakfast, not knowing that be had breakfasted out. The juke was so good that the captain took the two cents, ordered the boat stopped, helppd Pat ashore, and told him that should he ever have occasion to travel that way again he would be most happy to cany him. SCENE IN A SANCTUM. —Enter a large strong man, with a cow-hide in hand. "Is the editor in?" "He is." "You?" "Ye?." "I have come to settle with you." 'Well, (editor draws a revolver,) go a head.'

"An article rn your last issue, (editor cocks bis pistol,) has convinced me, sir, that— you —need— "l deny your right to give it—be cautious, ?ir." "Give yi.u what?" "A thrashing." "YY'hy, no, my dear sir, I came to pay in ad vance for auother year." The editor wilted. (TF"Where did vou get that turkey ?" said Col. Silly Wilson to one of his amiable recruits, ivho came into camp the other day with a fine jird. "Stole i'," was the laconic answer. 'Ah," said,the Colonel triumphantly to a by itander," yen see my boys may steal, but (bey won't lie." Flattery is like a flail, which, if not adroitly jsed, will box your own ears, instead of tick ing those of the corn.
