A Alan Wooes Ills Own Daughter ami nearly Aiairics Her. Tho Cleveland licrald rocords the following romance in real life, which, for startling inter est almost Hurpasses the daring conception of tbe novelist About seventeen or, eighteen years since, a young man, an American, resided iu the city of Rochester N. Y. There he wooed and won a young and blooming Germain maiden Shortly after his marriage ho became acquainted with some other young men, who 44 lived fast," and thus was thrown sometimes amoug doubtful company. Soma months after marriage a for gery was committed, aud suspicions pointing strongly at him, a warrant was issued fur his jirrest. lie escaped, aud for years ootuiug uibre w*s heard of him. Sometime afterwards his inuoeence of the crime was discovered by the confession of the guilty person. Three mouths after.-lbs uisapperaee of he* husband, the young wife gave birth to a girl. By her own efforts and tbe assistance of kind friends, the mother was euablcd to support herself und her child for three years, when she 1 died, aud the little girl was left an orphau. — A German family living in tbe neighborhood, took the child to their homo aud adopted tt as their own. About ten years since they came to this city with the intention of settling here, but soon alter their arrival, leceivod letters that led to their return to the old cuuutry. — The girl, now obout seven years of age, was left iu this city with a German family named Klengenheifer, the foster parents hoping that the father would appear some day to claim her. With this family she lived to the present time, and has growu to a handsome youug lady of sonic sixteen or seventeen summers. Tho father, on leaving Rochester, had left for South America, and led a toviug life among the different countries of the Southern conti nent. Eventually he turned up in Sonora, having bceu attracted thither by the reported richness of its miues. Being naturally of a restless disposition, lie took part iu the domes, tie troubles of tho State, and was engaged iu the Liberal side iu several revolutionary move ments. When the regular Governor, G valau do, obtaiuod the mastery, our American udveu lurer was compelled to fly for nts life aud take refuge iu the United S'ates teiritory. After ai! his watideiiugs and adventures, ho became anxious lo see hts wife ouce more if still alive, and to tearu something ot what had trauepired after hts flight. He was sail iguo raut of the fuel that his iuaueeuee had been established, aud knew uotbiugot tho existeuee of a daughter. Travelling uuder au assumed name, aud trusting to the efiect of years and hardships to conceal his identity, he set out lor New Y'ork Statu. About six weeks ago he came to this city ou his way to Rochester, luteudiug to remain two or three da)s. He fell in with Mr. Kleugeu hicfer, aud, as the latter hid a brother iu So nora, an acquaintance sprang up botweeu them, which led to Mr. K. tuvitiug his neyv acquain tance to his house on Kuisuian street, lleru he met with the youug lady, who bore the name ot her foster parents, and he became at once deeply interested iu her. Instead of proceed ing al once to Requester, he remaiued iu Cleve land—fascinated by the charms of the young lady, ilaviug uiet some Rochester people, who did uot teeoguize him aud learned that his wife had died years since, he abaudoucd his idea of visiting Rochester, and paid usaidi ous attention to the youDg lady who had so smitten him, the result was that he offered her his hand—still uuder the assumed name he had borne for years—uud was accepted. The mar riage was fixed for Mouday eveuiog last. Un Sunday eveuiug the intended bridegroom was talking with the inteuded bride when his at tention was attracted to a locket which she wore. His curiosity was gratified by the locket being opened, and a miniature portrait of a lady was revealed, lie turned pale ut seeing it, aud could scarcely speak, it was the portrait of his wife, takeu about a year before death.- Further inquiries disclosed the fact that tt was the portrait of the youug lady's mother, aud that the man had been almost miraculously saved from tho horrible crime of urarryiug his own daughtor. We suppress the names of the parties in this extraordinary trausaction, out of respect to tho feeliog of tbe youug lady. The father and daughter, unable to reruaiu in a place uontaiuiug such cruel recollections, left yes terday fut a Western State. |firtt 'j CRYSTAL HYMN. iLfjestic sweetness sits enthroned, Mpon tbe Saviour's brow, Ills head with radiant giories crowned, Mis lij>3 with grace o'ertiow. ifi.saw nie plunged in deep distress, jlmd flow to my relief; !%■ me lie bore the cross, And canied all iny grief.

These duties are various aud weighty, and consequent upon the relation of parent and child, teacher and pupil. Now, how are we to determine what theso duties are? Certainly uot by referring to any speculative theories which may have had their otigin in tbe hot bed of some sickly imagina tion, bar by inquiring into the object to be ac complished by the parent aud teacher, and what is tbe nature aud destiny of the being Oumiuitttd wholly to their guidance and disci pline. ' bus, the duties of a physician are obvious. Tie ohjoefr had in vie® is tha resto ration of tbe human system, when diseased, to perfect health, or the iuitigatiou of paiu, and the palliation of disease, by the use of modi- j cine and surgery. Hence, bis first duty is to tuake himself ac- j quainted with the structure of tlie human sys- j tern —with the fuueiions of the several parts, j and the physiological laws pertaining to each. I •Secondly, he should understand tho pathology j of the various diseases to which tno huniau body is subject. Thirdly, he .-houli fully ac quuut himself with the properties and nature j of the various ' medicines which uave been ! f'lund to havo a salutary influence iu assisting j diseased nature to tegatu her former vigor and i health. Lastly, but not least, his duty re- j quires" him as an intelligent physician, when ■ called to see a patient, to carefully examine j the symptoms of the di.-eise, ascertain, if pos ateie, what physiological laws have been viola ted, what orgaus do uot perform their functions | properly, and then, in view tnat he is dealing with lite and death, his duty requires him as an , honest man, to prescribe suoh medicine as bo j may deem best suited to bring about a state of perfect health to the patieut, and, if necessary to that end, he will not withhold the blister, tbe lanoet, the scarifier or the probing knife, though it tuuy be ever so paintui to tbe pa tieut, and most disagreeable to himself. No, he will not hesitate to amputate the diseased member, the hau l, the limb —or even to pluck out the eye, if thereby be may save life. Without further preliminaries, we may first inquire what are some ot the duties of pa rents? We may, iu uuswer to this question, ask, what is it to be a parent? To be a pareut is to be placed solely in charge of a being, (when first brought iuto the world) the most ignorant, dependent and helpless ut ali the animal species. This being is possessed ot a physical organism, subject to a thousand dis eases, pain aud premature death, all ot winch growing out of the violation ot the laws ol its being, under which a wise uud beneficent Gre ater has placed it. This same beiug is also endowed with au immorta!, moral and intelli gent principle—a soul, capable of endless pro ttressiou ia knowledge aud virtue, ot iuetta'jle joy aud happiness, t>r of indescribable degrada tion and misery, even iu this lite, and exposed to a lite of eternal wretchedness and misery in a future state ot existence, with a nature uat urallv iudtsposed to tho.-e very acts that bring both physical and moral disease, suffering and death. Now, in view of 'he powers, nature auas property con ducted, will found the ground work of ail bis future progression in knowledge and virtue, throughout tbe succeeding periods of eternity. More anon. G. S- The Superintendent aud the Latit Institute. Mr. OVER: —An article published in the Inquirer by the County Superintendent, re flected discredit ou upon those teachers who were not in attendance at the County lustitute, and requires some atteution ut our bauds.— We, as teachers of Middle Woodberry Town ship, feel s much interest in self-improvement, Teaehers' Institutes and the xise and progress of e'ur Educational system, as any set of teachers iu the county, though we did not at tend the Institute. Wo bad our reasous for not attending.* 1 he reason why we did not atteud tho Coun ty lusiitute was, that there was not an iota of inducement held out, cither upon the part of the Superintendent, or upon the part of the Directois. When the present term of tho (Jouiuuiu Schoois opened wo met iu Woodbury, and organized a Teaehers' Institute, aud that with the most promising prospects; every teacher exerting himselr to hts utmost, to bring about the uiost beneficial results iu the progress of our educational system; but alas 1 a majority of our directors refused to grant us permission to bold any educatiouai meetings iu any one of tho school rooms under whatever form we may have desired to form them. Ye*, tbey snatched tbctu ftotu our bauds, aud put a tiual stop to all educational associations iu our township. However, lam sure that the teach ers iu this part of the County are doing their duty tnaufuily, and especially under the unla vorablc eircumsfauces uuder which we arc la boring, and tbe term * l uot live teachers" is certainjy uot applicable to us. Of the twelve schools in our township, uot a single school has been regularly visited by auy of the Di -1 colors, or scarce by anybody else. Wo have been looking for the Superintend ent to visit our schools, aud to deliver us lec tures upou the Art of Teaching, a duty de volving upon the Superintendent, accoidiug to law, and as yet, be ius uot fulfilled his obliga tory duty, nor has he as much as "held regular correspondence with either the Teachers or the Directors, upou the ali important subject of ••school matters;" therefore, is it t<> be ex pected that we, who labor for the paltry sum of twenty to twenty-Jour dollars per month, will spend time aud money, and go twenty ufiles to attend an Institute for the benefit of two days'instruction? No! emphatically no ! Not that we are opposed to Teachers' Insti tutes, but for tho want of proper encourage ment. Should it be Mr. Heokerman's "good fortune to serve auotlier term as County Su perintendent," I Lope he will uioro efficiently attend to bis duty, aud imitate tho labor of the Superintendents of our neighboring coun ties. Mr. Dean, ot Biair Uouuty, has, during his term of tbe Suporinteiidency, lectured d:y after day, and uigfit alter night; yes, travers ed the county from oue cud lo the other, and reared up edifices of learning, and now bis praises arc sung around tho fireside of every true friend of education, uot only in Blair County, but in the neighboring counties, aud such man we want for the next term of the Superinteudonoy, and such a mau is J. R. Dur borrow, the author of "School Matters," who has labored, ns no other man ia Bedlord Coun ty has labored, for the advancement of eJuca tiou, aud who, if elected Superinteudeut, will spare uo paius to raise the cause of education to its wonted position. Yours, D. D. ESHELMAN. Woodbury, Feb. 18, 1860. A poet says that tbe wind kisses the waves. That, we suppose, is the celebrated 4 kiss for a blow,' about which we have heard so much.

NOi 10, The Incomprehensibility of God. All the disooveries of modern science serve to exalt the Diety; but they do not contribute otfe iota to the explanation of bis purposes.— Tbey make him greater, but tbey do not make him more comprehensible. He is more shroud ed in mystery than ever. It is not himself wboia wc see, it is his workmanship; and every new addition to its grandeur, and to its variety, which philosophy opens to our contemplation, throws our understanding at a greater dista-. :e than before from the irind and conception of the sublime Architect. Instead cf the God of a single world, we now see hitu presiding, in all the majesty of fits high attributes, over a mighty range of innumerable systems. To our little eye be is wrapt up in most awful mysterious ness; and every now glimpse which astronomy gives us of the Universe, magnifies, to the ap prehension of our mind, that impassible barrier which stands between the counsels of Lis sov ereignty and those fugativo beings who trust their evanescent hour in the humblest of his mansions, If this iuvisible Being would only break that mysterious silence in which he has wrapped himself, we feei that a single word from his mouib would bo worth a world of dark ling speculation. Every new triumph whioh the uiiud of nun achieves iu the field of dis covery, binds us moro firmly to our Bible; and by the very proportion ia which philosophy mul tiplies the wonders of God, do wc prize that book, on which the evidence of history baa stamped the character of Ilia authentic pomrmi nication.— Dr. Charrbtt. FUN AT HOME. Don't be afraid of a little fun at home, good people ! Don't shut up your houses, lest the sun should fade your carpets ; nor your hearts, lest a hearty laugh should shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there! If you waut to ruiu your sons, let them think that all mirth and social enjoyment must be left on tho threshold wheu they come home at night.— When once at home is regarded as only a place to eat, drink and sleep in, the work is begun that ends in gambling-houses and reckless degradation. Young people must have fun aud leluxation somewhere. If they do not find it at their own hearthstones, it will be sought in other, and peihaps, less profitable places.— Therefore, let the fire buru biighily at night.and make the home nest delightful with all those little arts that pareuts so perfectly understand. D.iu't repress t'ue buoyant spirits of your children. Half an hour of merriment round the lamp and firelight of home blots out the remembrance of many a care and annoyance during the d:iy, and the best safeguard tbey eau take with them into the world is the un seen influence of a bright little domestic sanc tum. CuloDel Stone,"a practicing iawycr, and Dr. Mason, a practising physician, were rival can didates for the Senate, and were stumping the district together. Dr. Mason was a warm ad vocate for law reform, and, in arguing its ne cessity, he referred to a certain case ia which i his competitor had been nonsuited upon seme ! technicality. 'Now,' said Dr. Mason, 'we ueed to have the law reformed, or Col. Stone is incompetent to bring u suit correotly—he can take either horn of the dilemma.' Colonel fc'tone teplied: 'Fellow citizens, the Doctor has the advantage of me.
