THE WORLD WOULD BE THE BETTER FOR IT. If men cared lets for wealth and farr.e. And less for battle-fields and glory ; If writ in human hearts a name Seemed better than in song and story; If men, instehd of nursing pride, Would learn to hate it and abhor it, — If more relied On lore to guide,— The world would be the better for it. If men dealt less in stocks and lands And more in deeds and bonds fraternal ; If Love's woik had more willing hands To link this world to the supernal; If men store up Love's oil and wine, And on bruised human hearts would paur it, If " yours" and "mine" Would once combine, — The world would be the better for it. If more would act the play of Lite Aud fewer spoil it in rehearsal ; If Bigotiv would sheathe its knife Till Good becomes more universal ; If Custom, grey with ages grown.

If men were wise in little things, Affecting less in all theirdealings; If hearts had fewer rusted stungs To insolate their kindly feelings; .

Reader, have you ever stood on the heel path side of the Ohio Canal, on one of those mild January evenings peculiar to the early au tumn, and watched the sun rise from his gor geous couch athwart the Weslr-rn sky, and lis tened to catch the warble ofdis.'ant coal h ov ers, mingled with the crn-s of a ragged canal driver encoui aging a pair of attenuated calicu mules * (If ynu don't remember at once wheth er you have or not, take time to co .ssd*T, and inform us through the post-office, inclosing a stamp.) It was at such a time and on such a spot that two solitary youths might have been *een walking arm in um in that vicinity about tr.at time. Need we tell you Ihe one was the daughter of a poor but wealthy parents, and the other was her lover 1 \lter considerable time passed in reflection, if appears rather necessary that we should, be cause you wouldn't know it it we didn't. The young man had seen nineteen springs, yet did he urge his suit with the passion 3nd ardor ot one who has attained the ripe age of four score years and ten, and notwithstanding his weight did not eX'Ked one hundred and twenty-6v pounds, he couldn't have pled moje earnestly had he weigher! a ton. The maiden was fair. Toothbrush handlescouid not compare with her teeth in whiteness, and the raven's wing had no more business by the side of her glosey curls than a stovebrush. Can we wonder that the young man swore that he wouid cheerfully catch the measles for her sake, and expressed a willingness to have the scarlet lever the sec ond time to prove his devotion ? Alas' the perversity of women. Although loving him devotedly, she replied to his ardent declaration by sitting down on a stone boat and writing him a letter of introduction to the ma rines, to whom she recommended him to rppeat that narrative. Driven to frenzy, Caleb turn ad sored in the lace he tore all the buttons of! his vest, and frothed at the mouth to such an extent that he split a bran new vest down the back. Then casting upon her a look of unut terable anguish, through a pocket telescope, he cried—"False one ! farewell lor-r-ever 1" threw a double handspring, and disappeared behind a high board fence.

Old Bourbon, whols now in Kentucky engaged in the whiskey bu siness, swayed the sceptre of France. Gin ru led Holland, and Sweden was governed a go id deal by the price of Sweede's iron. Wales was just beginning to be celebrated for her prints, now generally known in this country as the :'Prinfaol Wales," and Spain was getting up excursions to Put-in-Bay. Glancing at the New World, Jerry Baldy was weighing candles on Staten Island and had not then dreamed of driving the Pope into "Borne Swamp" in the name ol the Continental Congress; and Chris topher Columbus, having completed his labors by discovering Sanduskv, had retired io the Hermitage at the North Btnd of Ashland on Mount \ ernon, and was writing for the A'tto York Ledger. CHAPTER IV. Now comes the tug.- JACK SMITH. When Caleb left the pbickle Pheebe, it was with a determination never to see her again.— He would be a wanderer. He would bind on other lands and climb foreign climes ; he won!,! go and be an ancient mariner. Filled with this drspeiate resolve he sought his boarding-house, put a clean sh'.rt and collar in a cotton valise, and started for the river.

A sailor, whose voice deeply bronzed by exposure to the Tropic of Barleycorn appeared at the top mizen gang way, and informed him that the captain was engaged in the cabin. He was being presen ted with a bosom pin and a gold-headed cane by a ferryman who was about to retire from of fice. ihe presentation was wholly tinexpec- After considerable delay Caleb was invi'ed to descend. When he enteied the cabio, he wasstruck with the youthful and delicate ap pearance of the captain. He wa, hbout to tr a sailor, and resol ved to thwart it. The captain of the tug, being an aunt of hers, had allowed her to , • captain lor that day, and chance had done the rest.— Pheebe Ann was penitent, Caleb forgiv ing. and that very day they agreed beloie a mir.Uterto share the tug of lite together. But little more remains to be told. Caleb couldn't be persuaded to give np his passion for the raging main, notwithstanding the entreaties of his wife, and so she compromised the matter by allowing him to tend a saw mill, and he still follows that daring and perilous profess ion.— Budget of Fun. VV HAT HE DIED OF. —We overheard once the following dialogue between an alderman and an Irish shoplifter:— "What's gone of your husband, woman?" "Wat's gone of him, yer honor?— Faith sir he's gone dead-" "Ah, pray what did he die of?" "Die' yer honor, he died ef a Friday." "I don't mean what day of the week but what complaint?', "Oh! what complaint yer honor: faith an'it's himself that didnt get time to complain." "Oh, he died suddenly." "Father that way yr honor." "Did he fall in a fit?" X > answer. "He fell down in a fit perhap,?" "A fit, \er honor! why no, not exactly that. He fell out of a window, or through a celler door—l dont know what ibey call it." "Ay, and broke his neck." "No, not quite that yet honor." "What then?" "There was a bit o's'ring or that like, and it throttled poor Mike." \JjF~ An eloquent negro orator thus concludes an account of the death of a colored brother : " De last word dat he was heerd to sav, de last word he was known to utter,de last syllable he ebber heabed, de last idea lie ejaculated ; yes, my bredderin, de berry last word he eber was known to breave fotth, sound or articulate, was Glory !"

BEDFORD, BA., FRIDAY MORNING, JULY, 12 1861. mr-r wir t .i— ■ Mpi n ■ THE EFFECT UP A CI USE. The effect of imagination as shown in the case of hydrophobia on the West side recalls to our mind a remarkable circumstance, which occurred many years ago, and in which an ex cited imagination brought obout a miserable life and a terrible death. The affair occurred oe.ir the place of our nativity , and partly during our boyhood, and as we do not remember ever see ing it in print, we will give it in the way it is impressed on our memory. A ynung man named Comyn had for si re time paid attenl'on to a girl who was the b-ll • of the village, and t ley were at length fi nd |y engaged. Elizabeth was of ana Jem. t n peraineat, loving cornyo with hr > • -a :, and sensitive to the slightest appearauce :>{ cold ness or neglect. A lover's quarrel' sprang up for - >nie slig.-.t cause. There was a coldness for , a r .d on Sunday afternoon Corny ti escorted an •• ti er young woman to church. Elizabeth "saw lhem pass her window, and the c >ll i ? i spair chilled through her. Recovering f on the shock, she toon down her priv-r h i turning down a leal, sent it to Cny n .-.ise That done, she went .0 a neighb ouig i and hung herself. On returning from church, her lever had -a presentiment of evil and w.-nt to her hous-. She had not been seen for two or three hour* A terrible conviction flo-hed upon his urn id, and he exclaimed :—•• Goad fi.aven.! she has destroyed herxel! ! He was fdd that a book had been sent to Ins house, aid r and ever j and Jor days and nights tie wander ed about the neighborhood, half crazed with re morse and fear. Years passed away, but brought no aiievia tjon of his menial tpitufe, lie was af. aid to O ' - -V *•.•*"Vx thnTftftt: fi'HSr tiVrr* ur crutivi worcU I h* sight of a bible or prayer book would drive him from the house. Disas ters and misfortunes of various kinds betel him, ail owing, he claimed, 10 the curse which hung over him. Hi nights were disturbed by fright ful dreams. The dead girl appeared U him in his sleep, with hr features distorteiffiv stran gulation, and her finger pointing to a prayer book open at ihe U rible curse. At such 1 imes be frequently shrieked in agony —•' O, 15e:>v. my dear Betsy, stmt the book—shut th* book:" II is friends persuaded lom to marry, hoping thus to bieak thesp.ell that weighed linn .i own. At length he assented, an.l offered his hand to a young giil. Bhe turned from bur with hor -1 or, asking if he wished to bring down the curse of the dead girl on her head. Two otb iffers were refused m tlie same manner, but at ! last the chance ol 1 good settlement oMweighed ; superstitious fears, and a wornau was found to accept his offer. The wed ding was described to us by an eve witness. They were married in the church, and the way to it lay across an open track.— When a bo-it midway, a sudden and vi dent storm sprung up. Crashing thunders, ince : ■mt flashes 1 i sheeted lightning,and howling wi ids, daunted even toe least supers'it tows with o'her ill omens. Comyn tint w hffti,. if to Ihe ground ,on '.i> face, and groveled in convulsive agony, ; shrieking to be protected from the dead girl, who, he said, had come with thunder and light ning to destroy him. He was led helpless to the church, end passed through the marriage ceremony in a stunned and bewildered man ner. For two yeiirs after the marriage of Comyn, he dragged out a miserable existence, b !v and mind rapidly wearies away together. He be came the father of two children, both of whom died shortly afterbirth. At length tie died, his end being embittered by terrible visions, the horror of which threw him into terrible convul sions. To the last the vision of the prayer book, op;-n at 108 th psalm, seemed to s - tr. his eyeballs, and he died shrieking t r his attend ants to 'make h°r shut that book !" Tne singular coincidence that had terrified him during life, did riot cease at his death. He was buried on a Sunday afternoon, arid accord ing to - several others n .

Their first marches were only ten or f ~elv. miles a day. with frequent days ol rest, file officers wiio led them from their native provinces to the dis ant scene of war; were id-urged to make the much a pleasant s ries of i sms i : the military arl. Sometimes, when the quarters were good, wh" the exingency w-s not pressing, they would hall for ten days, god uti i-rgo a daily drill of eight hours.

But there is more r qinvb than good looks in school fur niture. Cc> tort must also be consulted. Who has cot ->.:• a's 111 our schoolrooms without re-ting p.ac* for the backs of the pupils, or so I tdgh it :t thj legs of the little urchins did not reach the (loir by six or eight inches ? In truth, we (annot {(ways call the rails and slabs that are used, confutable seats, for their is more punish 1 ent 11 them than comlott. The principal and, in fact, the only argu ment apparently advanced in favor of the old dilapidated lectures, sometimes called school houses, is, tat they (the parents) "got their learning" inhern and, consequently, they are good enough or their children. How ungen erous ! Sinr they we.rp compelled thirty or forty yeais no to ride rails and slabs in an un comfortable |iik ! ing, they must now for their own cause their children, "flesh of their flesh, ail bone of their bone," to pass through the stne ordeal. Because they were compelled toreeze their toes in some corner of the old log scbol house, they would have their children expiience the same torture. But this is not quit the whole reason. To build a new and comfrtable school house, and to put the neatest, as 1 ell a- most substantial furniture into it, wculd ,os: a little money, and they are not willing to jiv that lor the sakeof having the immatal mods of their children well trained. KAPPA. THE TEACHER'S REWARD. We have often been led to observe that the greatest benefactors and the most ardent labor ers for the public weal, are, in general poorly remunerated for their toils, Republics, it is said, si - e ungrateful; and the greatest statesmen and purest patriots are but indifferently appreciated, while they are zealously laboring /or their country s we!;are ; while those who are well skilled in the intrigue and political knavery of of the day cfteu carry off the palm and win the loudest applause. While this is the case in matters of state it applies with equal force to .he teacher's vocation. In a free and enlight ned country like (his, where the government is wholly based on publie opinion, and the rulers are created by the governed, it behooves ail to see that that opinion has the proper training and is conducted into the proper channel; otherwise, by a mis-education it may overthrow that which it is designed to build up. No one contributes more, or even so much, to the for mation of a good and wholesome public opin ion as the teacher, and yet few are so illy pro vided for as he. On no shoulders rests there a rreater weight or lies there a greater responsi bility, but no one bears those burdens with more meekness and firmness than the true teacher. Be is a self-sacrificing being. When he enga ges to "teach the young idea how to shoot," he roust make up hi 9 mind to undergo many pri vations ; to sacrifice many opinions and pred ilections for the good of those placed to his charge. It he does this in the right spirit he will be a true public beuelacto,-. But should he not bp, or is he, lewarded for his labor? fie is destined to eke .out hisexis ence in the narrow sphere ot his oft miscalled ichoo! rooom; to waste his energies and ship wreck bis health, and the small pittance he re vives is but a mere mockery, bv way of rem irneiating him for his labors. We have said ;hat th u teacher is but poorly rewarded for his oils. Pecuniarily speaking this is so. And ■vere he to engage in bis arduous profession merely for the luxuri-s it affords, he would ertainiy fall short of his mark. But he ba3 nobler rewards than mere pelf. His is a high md noble vocation ; and in proportion as ! is *ogu ami hoiy, so are his true rewards >; a .ugh -T a:ntf mar* y.,.., u j ar;ii can afford. Of course he must be pro vided with the " unfeeling, artificial inven lofls of society, fur be can not clothe himself with imagination, nor will intell-ctua! aliment ■atiate his appetite and keep alive his animal nature, But beyond this his vvorldy prospects ire written in very narrow lines. And, let not. "Fancy her magical pinions spread wide" ind picture to him sweet hours of it pose,of luxury and ease. 'Twould be but "building astles in the air;" bubbles that would scon ex plode ; a phantom that would never bejrealized, hough he were to grow as gray a3 winter, in bis profession. But the teacher has a rewaid in knowing that he is engaged in one of the rr.o-t useful vocations that "mortals here beiow" can follow. Ihe fruits of his labors are 'rowing around him everyday WhTe o/ti rs are makeiug impressions on natter, which will wear away with time, those which he makes on mind shall live forever ! While Mhers are rearing fabrics that will be effaced JV limb's rude hand he is training something hat will expand while Eternity rolls or.. I r.e artist may show, to a gaping world, the euaties of l is pencil: the sculptor may imitate irture itself; and both may have encomiums .(lowered upon them while the teacher is labor ng in obscurity;- but the Prometheus and the t'enus de Medici, with all their perfections, will have been cast into oblivion and swallow ed up in eternity, when the benefit of the teach- T'S labors 3rc being realized. These reflections ire some of his true rewards. And if be has ieen true to his calling; if he has trained the nind in the way of usefulness, he shall have many bright pearls to shine in the fair diadem hat shall crown his labors.
