Aod the pride of the war-horse he shames;

In the race with tho sun on his rounds

With his whirlwind aback in his fast-boat-

He beareth his mission from heaven;
Though the storm hurries on, the goal h

Ere a leaf is disturbed by its din,
From his eye flames a ray of the dawn of a

That shall lighten the world of its sin.
More potent his wheel of the old-fabled roe
Of the Fates in the mystic .fielusion,
For no fable is he in his terrible glee,
But a f•,ibt of portentious conclusion :
From his bosom's deep glow springs a let

For the lightning glare he flings on the air,

To speed him along till tbe-last feudal Wrong

CHAPTER XII
Our 3fareh fo Gettyabury—The second Beryls
Fighf—The third Eau's Fight—TheFourth
of Judy—Betree of the Enemy—Pursuit to
Fairfield.
About 9 o'clock, p. m., July Ist, we
commeneed our march to Gettysburg,
passing hack over the road we had come
the day before, to near Westminister
again. The interference of trains, and
movements of other troops, prevented
our getting on with much expedition,
until daylight, when, the whole corps
being well in motion, eve took the pike
to Gettysburg, and marched off at a fair.
rate. No time was given for securing
breakfast, men had had little sleep in the
night, the road was still heavy, and we
had no time to waste, as Gettysburg was
3d miles away, and our troops there in
peril. All along the road, especially as
we neared the Pennsylvania line, the
peeple were very friendly, and carried
water to the troops as they passed by,
all the time exhorting us to - drive back
the rebels, of whom they seemed to be in
great terror. The march was a very
severe one; but the sound of the guns on
the soil of the ICeystone, the encourage
ment of the people along our road, their
kindness, and their very natural terror,
seemed to appeal to the den, and to ex
cite their enthusiasm. As we neared
the State Line, (Mason & Dixon's Linc,)
all inquired, eagerly, of the people, as
to the exact location, that they might
know when they first stepped upon
sylvania soil. An old man, living just
over the border, pointed it out, and as
the line Was reached, the regiment pass
ed it on a run, with cheers. A young
lady, standing at the door of a little
house, just on the Pennsylvania side,
with our flag in her bands, was the first
to welcome our regiment to its native
soil. She was most enthusiastically
cheered by our troops, who had seldom,
in Virginia, found so fair a welcome, or
seen so pretty a girl. In fact, our en
thusiastic young lady friend was so
cheered and complimented by the men,
that she retired, in confusion, to the
friendly shelter of her home.
As we approached Littlestown, evi
dences of the battle began to thicken.—
Farmers were fleeing with their horses
and cattle, the country people lined the
roods everybody in holiday dress, but

greatly relieved by the excitement inci

first march throligh a really friendly
country. We arrived on the field at
about 3 P. .m., baking then marched
thirty:six miles without a halt or a meal,
starling the evening before at fi o'clock.
We were allowed no* to get a cup of
coffee, and then were moved forward to
relieve a portion of the troops on the line.
We had no 'fighting to do on the line af
ter our arrival, ndr was the battle se
riously renewed this 'evening anywhere.
We did not.get any rest, however, as we
were kept moving from point to point,
as the enemy seemed to threaten differ
ent portions of our line, until quite late,
when we lay down to eleep, in line of
battle. Next morning we ieeoVqpd Gen.
Meade's Order, assuming command, and
also an order as to our conduct in the
fight: We had heard rumors of the
change of cOnnilandprs for several days,
but we bad never known the fact certain

of Gen. Hooker. Our baying been sepa

Gen. Meade announced the grave im

were d-tailed with orders to shoot strag

O of our most respectable citizens
called into the establishment of a joking
druggist, lest summer, and overcome by
the sultry Weather, sat down in a chair,
and was soon enjoying a sound slumber.
Obseiving that the sleeper had on a fine
new hat, the druggist gently removed it,
substituting in its place an old one with
a sadly dilapidated and rusty crown. The
citizen at last awoke, and after a few
"h-hums," felt of the hat, which was
rather a tight fit. • Removing it from his
head, and taking a steady gaze at the
battered relic, he turned to the druggist
and inquired.
"Did I sleep a long time ?"

. Fur the REPUBLICAN
The Teacher and the Pupil.
MME!
The schoolroom is a little world,
bounded by the walls which separate it
from the world 'without. The teacher is
its sun, whose rays illumine the minds
of the children that people it; he stands
between thr known and • the unknown,
supplying the link by which they may
clasp the past and the future; ono hand
in the child's, with the other he may
point upwards to God, the author and
end of our being. Particularly impres
sible is the mind of youth before contact
With the world, and its cares and disap
pointments have embittered it and made
it. suspicious. The teacher may mould
at will. He may lead the minds of his
pupils above the sordid thingspf earth,
to higher and nobler themes. The youth
of to-day aro the nation's hope. Make
them realite that, when we shall have
passed away, they, as our representa
tives, must do a better work than We
have done. Teach them that there is
but one safeguard in life—to do right
always. A laudable ambition is honor
able, and should be encouraged; but a
spirit to excel, despite the cost of princi
ples of honor, or the happiness bf oth
ers, should be curbbd whenever mani
fested. The, teacher may.judiciously
train his pupils to respect the past,while
they admire the present. Great and goed
men have lived, before us; the leading
principles which controlled their -lives,
we may inculcate. Many of them have
attained heights which we may scarcely
'hope to reach; but "the world does move,"
and we with it.- The spirit of progress
should pervade our school-roams. The'
teacher should be a live person, dealing
with live children. In every sense, he
should be be reformatory. Rooting out the
evil, transplanting, when need .be, and
always sewing fresh seeds of morality
and virtue. The tetieher's life should be
a protest against vice in any garb.---•
Theory avails little without practice; his
aim should be to present a model for all
to imitate: He should strive at perfec
tiou—rhysipally, mentally and Morally.
The relation of teacher to pupil is sec
ond oily to that of rarent to child. It
is essential, then, in the highest degree,
that he acquaints himself with the dis
position, habits and home-culture of Lhe
youth confided to his trust. The sculp- d
tor tests themarble,ere he attempts to
chisel it into fornis of beauty; lie MUSI
know the nature of the material with
which he deals. So must the teacher
analyze the character of his pupils, care
fully eradicating the gernis of raisguid
arme, and implanting, instead, those of
true manhood. His life, should loe so
noble, that vice would hide its hideous
head at his approach. Truth, so lovely
everywhere, is a crown of glory upon - the
teacher's brow. its radiant halo shines
upon ail around him, inspiring loVe for
it, for its own sake. In every tyansac-
tioa, strict integrity is the mainspring
which should govern actipa. It is our
priVilege. so to conduct ourselves, as to
win the confidence and love of our pu
pils. We may participate in their joys
and sorrows. They look to us for help
in every time of need. They enshrine
us in their little hearts—have full faith
in our ability, and follow, implicitly,
where we lead. We may.teach them to
be honest, as we are honest, in thought,
word and deed; not becauso it is policy
to live uprightly, but because there is'a
charm in the path of virtue, which is
not found elsewhere. We may weave,
here and there, a silk . en_Cord of charity,
show them that there are Wells of good
ness in every nature, if we but drop the
bucket deep enough tp prove it. The
silver lining is only tarnished; 'twill
brighten, if polished by love arid kind
ness. Teach that. true dignity commands
respect' from all, and yields deference
when it is due.
The youth of to-clay are so much im
pressed with their own importance, that
they often disregard the courtesies which
age and experience should claim. They
scoff at things whose history is the past,
and revel in the greater now. Teachers
who wish to inspire patience, must be
patient. Check the hasty word, or frown
ing look, ere it reaches the surface.
You will conquer, by kind wprds,what
you cannot reach otherwise, and they,
n turn, will imitate. Habits mould
character. So, if it be a daily occurrence
to instil principles of industry, cheerful-
ness; perseverance, neatness and refine-
Mali, we will find these principles be
coming powerful and controlling in their
MI
They should be admonished that time,
indeed, is money. That life is but fleet
ing, at best, and that, with the great
book of nature open . before us, it were
sacrilige to ponder idly over its leaves.
They should be kind and polite to all.—
It is not enough that our pupils salute
us respectfully. Each of God's creatures
has a claim upon the notice of others,
be he high or low, rich orpoor. .Bat we
should, at the same time, carefully train
them to discriminate between courtesy
and servility.
By example, the teacher may lead his
pupils to shrink, instinctively, from the
coarse and vulgar, and appreciate refine
ment, in thought and expression. By
precept and illustration, aptly drawn,he
may teach that order is Heaven's first
law, and that "cleanliness is neat to
godliness."
All instruction should tend to one great

ful in subduing the evil influences with
in the heart; it is a blessed boon in the
school-room. The little songs we sing
there together, accompany us through
life. Hence, 020 selection of proper
school-songs, is a matter of no trifling
importance.
Inspire pupils - frith a. spirit of patriot
ism. Broaden the platform, so that what
was heretofore love of home and dear
ones, may now, in its wider development,
becomo love of country. Teach them to
live for their friends, and humanity;and
die for their principles, or nation, if need
be.
This is not an ago of vacillation.—
Men must be firm. Having taken a stand
for liberty and right, they must be un
yielding. Children may be trained to
be staunch and true, unflinching when
duty calls; and to yield obedience to pa
rents, and to the laws of the State, not
from compulsion, but because it is right.
We mistake the means, when we incite
our pupils to well-doing, through fear of
punishment. Love is a more potent
agent. Let us make their hearts right,
and their lives will be ptire.• Curs is no

Their bright smiles, speaking of peace
and contentment 'within, their pleasant
words fall like sweetest music upon our

To-day we'raiss from the sohool-room
those, who long have listened to our
counsel. To-morrow we hear from thena
in the great world outside. The teach
er's hand will not always be with them;
to guide them o'er the sea of life. Each
must, in his turn, go - forth alone. For
them tho tidal waves of duty will ebb and
flaw, and if we have been faithful to our
trust, our reward comes back to us in
their lives and mission. But if we have
been derelict in duty, or have grown
weary in well-doing, at no time do. we
feel remorse so keenly as when called to
lay one of these little ones in the_ silent
grave. We think of the unimproved mo
ments gone forever—the impatient words
which cannot be recalled, and bitterly
does memory pictUreto us our past ne

Mental Drunkenness
The great inteliectaal curse of the age
s light literature. The easy, rapid man-
ner with which this class of reading can
be Pa - retied and devoured. almost inevi
tably produces two intellectual results.
It creates a disrelish for higher and_
more 'solid reading. .The devourer of•
tales finds himself unable to love intel
lectual work. But worse than this, the
mental powers are so enfeebled by this ,
kind of reading that one is really unable
to grasp solid thought. His mind is too
feeble to, carry it. We would not write
uncharitably, yet it is - our sincere con
viction, after observing churches in both
city and country, that it is much the
smaller portion of almost any congrega-
ticn whO are so intellectually able to fol
low a speaker in a clo3e, connected train
of reasoning, as to have the subject at
their command at its close. Doubtless
many ministers are ready to complain of
their hearers, that so few seem disposed
o follow hint through what is really an
mportant train of thoUght; but the foot
is; that there are comparatively few of
their bearers mentally able to follow
them. The light rending to which many
have accustomed themselves, has so en-•
feebied their intellect, that they can no
more lift the mental burden offered them,
than a child can lift a ton's weight. 'hie,
perhaps, not too much to say, that thb
power of this class of readers to grasp
thought, is really less than though they
had never learned to read. It is not pm.-
erally true that, in almost any congrega
tion, there maybe found unfettered per
sons. where intellectual power to follow
a speaker, exceeds that of almost any
one in the congregation who is a. de
vourer of light rending; and this is not
because of superior native gifts, but
rather because the ono has weakened
his mind by intellectual drunkenness.
whilst the other has not? Compare, for.
instance, Scotland and the United States.
Take the body of the Scotch people on,
the one hand, and on the other takel••
promiscuously an equal number of the •
people of this country,and the difference
in the quantity of reading done by the
one or the other is out of all proportipu..
Doubtless we read ten pages to their one •
and yet judging Scotland,eithei at home •
or by its representatives in this country,
where aMong comparatively uneducated
peop:e, are there to be found such good
hearers as the Scstch ? And the reason!
for this is not so much because their in
tellect is naturally ruggeder and stronger.
then our awn, as because in their read- ,
ing they do more mental work thet we,.
and less mental dissipation ?
