They are the composition of Ma caulay, according to Mr. Siddons, having been copied by him, while residing in Calcutta, from an album ill which they had been written by their distinguish ed author. They have never been published, in iitq never known to exist until Professor Siddond brought them to light, and as a proof of his grat itude to. the eitizegs of Guelph he left them a copy. In Athens, ere its sun of fame had Set, Midst pomp and 'show the gazing crowds were met, Intent forever upon something new, The mimic wonders of the stage to view So where the wide-eitended circus spreads In gathered ranks its sea of living heads, Banged in close order, rising row on row The void arena 'claims the space bele*. I'he tints were filled, but ere the shoal began A stranger entered—gyms an aged Man', Awhile he sought a place with aspect mild; The polished young Athenians sat and smiled, Eyed his (=fusion, With a side-long glance, But kept their seat's, nor rose on his advance. .0 for a.burning blush of deeper hoe, To mark the shame of that self-glorious crew I Ilow poor the produce of fair learning's tree That bears no fruits of sweet humility; The growth of arts and seienees how vein , In hearts that feel not for another's pain.

Then came the sentence of-reproof and praise, Stamped with the stemless of the ancient days Fob standing full amid the assembled crowd, The venerable stranger cried aloud ; : The Athenians learn their duty well, but lo The Spartans practice what the Athenians know.' The words were good and in a -virtuous cause, They justly earned a nation's glad applause; But we have 'surer words of precept given In God's own book, the words that came frond heaven : " Be kind, be courteous, be all honor shown.

THREE weeks after the Kansas Flirty left Greenitale; one Saturday morning the group stood at a steamboat landing , in the city of St. Louis. There had been last visits to make with friends who lived on the way, and Mr.. Me rwin had given his children one look at a few of God's great wonders. Sydney, Lizzie, Katie Morgan; and Frank Lines had beheld the terrible front of lc iaga ra. Very early on . the only morning that our party was there, they all stood to watch the rising of the sun. As it camel* out - o£ the east and shone through the mist, Katie IVlotgart very reverently said, clasping her aunt's dress in her childish eagerness, Co, Aunt Lizzie, look I see God's name ; it is made out of the rainbow in 'the cloud," and Katie tried to make other- eyes 'see what her's reVealed to her. ' Again Niagara and friends were left far behind, and the group were awaiting the ar rival of. the steamboat that was to convey them up the Missouri. Half of the morning went by, and still the boat that had been signaled had not come to its landing. Mrs: Merwin, with the baby, sat upon- some of the household goods that were piled upon the levee, and waited, fear ing to leave, lest the boat might come in her absence. The children went to and fro, from father and Dr. Lines, to the place where Mrs: Mer win waited, until they grew tired with wait ing in the heat =of the last of an August sun. At length, when Maria (the baby's nurse) had exhausted her efforts at quieting the baby, and Mrs. Merwin was growing sick at heart with waiting, came Mr. Merwin and Dr. Lines. " There's no boat for us to-day," said Mr. Merwin to the group. ,- "Why ?" was the universal question. " Why, indeed," answered Dr. Lines ; ".because the boat that was a boat is only a wreck ; it is blown into fragments," and with. sisolemn, thankful air, the gentlemen began gathering together their treasures for another day's stay mrSt. Louis, and they went to the hotel where they had breakfastsd, just in time for dinner. Ere that Saturday - night came down, the Planter's House, in St. Louis, was the scene of, sadnese and woe. Friends earite, weeping; without the dear ones who only that morning hid watched the coming on of to-day with tVer l some of whom were now lying Under math ithe waters of the Mississippi; others Were struggling and suffering with burns and With death., Amid these strangers our little friends went with hearts very full of kindness, but:they; ectild only look on with pity in their eyes. The New England party held, in an upper tcot of the Planter's Rouse, a meeting of _gratitude for the danger they had, escaped. - When it was--over, Frank Trines and Sydney Merwin went .out where the gee was just htlightening by - degrees; in the-long ball, as the man went on from burner to burner. Tbe two boys went past the man in his work, - and stopped beside a staircase, only half lighted. .They heard some one sobbing and crying most , piteously. Looking up, there sat upon the steps a boy. His face was bowed and hidden ? upon his knees, and his heart poured forth sob after sob, that shook him like an aspen leaf. Sydney went up to him, and sitting down on the step just below, he said, "What is the matter with you?" nly stronger cries an swered Sydney. Frank Lines then went lip. "I-say, boy, what do you cry for r asked Frank. Still there came no answer. Sydney laid his hand upon the head of the boy, and asked, Have you no friends ?" "No I" came the answer, through another ;flood of tears. • "Where are they ?" "Gone !" sobbed the poor boy. . 1- * " Why didn't you go, too ?" asked Frank. wish I had;" gasped the boy in answer; "!I. would if could. • . " Why can't you ?" " Again the tears stepped all words, and it was a long time before any more information was gained. Frank and Sydney grew weary of trying, and Sydney very quietly brought Katie Mor gan to the scene, and Kate sent the boys down the hall and drew near the strange lad, who now had ceased to cry, and was only moaning out his misery. The hall was all lighted, nadthe gas shone even up this stairway in the corner, quite apart from the genei%l staircase. Katie .no ticed the many little things that boys never see, that show a mother's thoughtful care, and in her little heart she could only wonder how a boy that had a mother could feel so badly about anything. At first she was afraid to speak ; then she ventured with, "Wont yon tell me what has happened to make you ery 97f For the first time the boy lifted his head, and Katie saw his face: A fine and good face it was, although just now marred and swollen by tears. He looked at Katie for a moment, and' then he said, "1 'haven't any one to take care of me."' "Why ?" questioned Katie. ".We were coming up the river this morn. ing—" and, here again eame•the sobs and tears at the' fond recollectioni of only the morning, whose evening had come. " Were your father and mother hurt ?" very gently whispered Katie. "-They were killed, and Maxey " Who is Malay? I don't know" said Katie. Mang was my sister, and they were all killed. Father is down at the place with all of the rest of the dead people, and mother and Matey are---" He did not finish the: sentence, and Katie was obliged to ask, " Where are they ?" "In the river I: groaned the boy, " and I shill never, never see them any more !" Here Sydney and Frank came down the hall, from their requested absence, and Trip came barking, his welcome along the way, having made his escape, closely followed bye Lizzie, who called, "Katie Morgan, where a,e you ?" - Ilere, Lizzie ;"s and Katie ran to meet her cousin and tell of the sorroWful lkoy that; they had found, sitting all alone,' and crying on the stairs. Katie resumed the questions,, *hen they went back, by asking, "Were` you almost home when the accident came ?". " I haven't any home." "But Where were you going ?" asked Sydney. " To Kansas-father was going." " So are we !" exclaimed Sydney : The boy looked up with some interest at this, and Sydney went on to tell how they had spent all the time, from lireakfi'stto ,ner, waiting for the boat that did not come, to carry, them up the river. When Sydney had ended his story, Katie Morgan,with her childish Vigor of action,:took the boy'shand in hers and'said; " Come —" "Where ?" With me,. into my aunt's room" said Ka:- tie ; and she led. him away triumphantly, fold lowed. by the rest of the party. She did notlefgo ef s him.until shohad him ,safely in the room. - and the door was'shut. Mr. , Merwin looked up at the entrance of an addition to his number, and asked, "Why Katie l " my , child, what, friend have you 'found? " "I have found a boy who had a father and mother and sister this, morning, who were all with him on the way to Kansas, he says,,and now they are all dead, and .he is left alone." Merivin forgot to hush the baby's cries, and left a few *tears fall in gratitude that it was not her Sydney that was left so destitute, and Mr. Merwin made the boy tell him hiUhistory. He learned his name. It was Paul Lee. His - father had just come from California. - All the riches that he had gathered out of the golden soil there, were with him, and "he was going," Paul said, " to settle a claim in Kansas, but now he was . dead, and the money was in the Mississippi," and at the end of the recital came back all the tears as freely as if the grief itself had but just come. Mr. Merwin tried-to 'cheer the bey: ,Mrs. Merwin gave the baby to Maria, and gather ed the soft brown curls .of the' boy close to her, and said the gentle Wards that somehow,' 'think, never grow: anywhere outside of a mother's warm heart: Sydney dashed away a tear or two, and Lizzie's and Katie's eyes were almost as full of, grief as Paul's when the welcome sound of the gong summoned them to tea. In vain Paul pleaded that he did not " want anything to eat; " Mrs. Merwin carried him captive to the tea-table, and his boy-hunger came back at the sight of food, which he had not tasted since morning. Paul was an entire stranger. Not one of the boat's passengers was left knew him; and after tea, Dr. Lines and Mr. Merwin went out with him on the, solemn mission of recognizing his dead father. The boy walked to and fro among the silent, pale figures, l_Zinglaide by side, until he found his father. Pre made him known to Dr. Lines and Mr. Merwin by wildly flinging himself down be side one of, the dead, parting the curling hi l ir from his forehead, and pressing his lips to the nriansiiering eyes, crying, "Father! Fath er ! " There was something not to be resisted by this strong affection,lind Paul won two manly hearts as they lifted him up from the dead, and asked," Why did you. love your father?" ",Because he was My father," said Paul; "and my mother loved him, too, and Mamy; we all loved him, he was> so good." Mr. Lee needed no other epitaph, and this lone orphan boy no other recommendation, than he was the son of a good man. Mi.:- Mervin 'and Dr. Lines took charge of Paul's' loved father, and: after the inquest,'. claimed the body in Paul's name for burial. It was long before the boy could be coaxed away from the sad scene : and place, and at the last pale figure Paul stopped. "Is it any one you knew ?'4, asked Mr... Merwin. "No," answered . Paul, "but I saw her on the boat ; she was alone with her little girl, and there isn't•any one to kiss her," and the boy- kneeled down, and softly' touched that cold mother's forehead with a kiss, that if not born of affection, was so near to it, that God must have • recognized it in Heaven.— TIM HOT•HOWE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION. LET parents be warned against the mod ern hot-house course of education pursued in many schools. Teacher or parent, be warn ed against wishing to see your pupil or son a genius. You will be quite as likely in the mad to see him an idiot, or to follow himto a premature grave. All precocious children need holding back, rather than spurring on: An early development of the mental powers is wholly unnecessary, .even if children are designed for scholars. Almost all'our Bohol.

Their bodies are injured by too much study in early life, and their education is comparatively worthless to what it would: be ' if they grad , uated several years later. They usually verify " the old adage, soon 'ripe, soon rot- Our educational system has been VI a wrong direction. It begin's, is carried on, and ends wrong. It is opposed to physiolog ical laws. They demand the education of the physical powers first. This commences with the mental. This unnatural process lays'the foundation for many cases of epilep sy. ,Nor is epilepsy the only disease that is cauSed by such a process. Chorea, neu ralgia; and general debility of the whole ner vous system follow in the train of diseases which are thus induced. When .a practitioner in Boston, often was I called to children prostrated by this brain pressure. Well do I. remember a little girl, out of the many, bright, quick, 'ambitious, always at the., head of her class, the admira tion and pride of her parents and teacher; but brought to ait early grave by the well-in tended'but ill-judged training of the teach er. Little did she think she was laying the foundation, while stimulating her young mind, for such a death. That disease was not epilepsy. But it was what the common people call brain fever. Itwas mentaFpreS- remember, too, an_ epileptic case, where diease was induced in the same way. A lit tle bright, nervous, slender boy was -early preyed with , study. At the age of seven years he could read Latin, at eight. Greek, and at eleven he died an epileptic-- , -an , op ileptic front over-stimulation of the brain. Now this is a subject which every physic ian does or ought to understand, and to im- Tress deeply upon the family when called to see such a child. But the evil_ is,, the phy sician usually is not called till:the Mischief is done, and hence his advice amounts to as - much as it does "to lock the ,door after the horse is stolen:".:.. The-•clergyrnan, the teapher,_ every -parent, and alieve all evert physician, ought to cry out against that educational process which kills hundreds ,and thousands of" . children =- annually in our.land-.--Wm.

IT is gratifying to us to find that the pen ey *hi& we have adVocated of putting the entire nation under drill, is receiving the assent of the. best minds of the country. Go yernor Curtin,,in his proclamation dismissing the forces extemporized to repel invasion, ad vises these volunteers " to preserve and per feet their organizations," and to form new ones in every county, "so that they may at all times 'be ready' to"answer the call of the State, should their-services be again requir ed." The New-York Republican Conven tion, which met last week. at Syracuse, re commended "that measures should be, taken immediately, by the proper authorities of the State, .'for enrolling, arming, and disciplin ing its militia." The conviction is slowly forming in the public _raind,, that this and this only, will adequately prepare us felthe work we have on hand.. .- = One of the gravest mistakes okhe Govern ment and the people of the 'Union, has been the habit 'of nnderestimating,the will and .of the. South-to resist us. Nany went to the first battle-field of Bull limn to see the rebels punished, and the rebellion crushed by one fell blow; they saw something quite unexpected, and returned sadder and -wiser men.' We next raised , an-.army of a half pillion, and entirely neglected to provide re serves. Nay, ,as :if certain that the rebelliion would be suppressed in .a few-weeks we made no provision for keeping the regiments in the field up to the full standard. What an army of reserves could hive accomplished in retrieving disasters it is easy to see • hut it is useless to speculate now .on what might have been. * * * * t * The arguments for this are so obvious That we hesitate to . It would make all the men drafted available for immediate service. It would Make the draft less a bug bear than it is to, thousands of our sober and quite patriotic fellow-citizens. One reason -why the draft is dreaded by many is, they know nothing of t the duties which, when called into service, will be required of them. But if previously drilled, they, will have learned the routine of a soldier's life, and will. have acquired some taste for ,it, and some confi dence in themselves.. 'Universal drilling would secure us better officers, of the lower grades at least, as well as better private sob diers. In a word, it, would save us - • thousands of lives, millions of money, and months of time. Our armies would be better led; would fight better, would win more ' vidtories and, with the blessing of Frovidence, final tri umph. = The drill need not take men away from their Business; convenient times and places could be appointed— Once fairly inaugura ted,"it would quickly shape itself into a sys tem harmonizing with our daily habits of life.

Lieutegantia. O. . Rubinet, an officer of the Ist United - States linfanary, opened upon the enemy with its (heavy siege gmis. The Rebels were prior '.l edfor this movement, having during the night Iplanted a few ftieces of light artillery, and ; ;briskly replied. This artillerY duel;was kept up until 6 o'clock, when the _enfilading fire ,previously brought to bear by . the battery " Williams" and battery " Philips," each mounting 30-pounder. Parrotts and 8-inch howitzers, reduced and'silenced the enerny's :r batteries, and compella their abandonment. 1 A Aetachment of the 63d Ohio captured the 1 caissons, and . -the soldiers of battery " Robi - net" brought Away a splendid, battery of Vames' rifled guns, which was presented to' I the by Gen. Rosecrans, as a reward fortheir 1 valor: ' The 39th .Ohio recaptured .iiiii Parrot guns taken front us on Friday. 't AO' o'Clock the batteries commenced feel.- r ing the woods in every direction, but without eliciting any reply. At - this time, as we learn from rebel prise- Tiers. the rebel soldiers were ` gathered 'in the timber, out of range of the guns, and address ed by Gen. Price and others upon the neces sity of capturing Battery RAI:Oct, whuse murderous discharges were . creating such havoc in their, ranks, and alone :prevented , the capture of the twit, and calledfor volunteers to attempt its capture.
