BUMMER RHYME
Leaf on the bough and fly 9ithe wing,
Birds that sing, windi that swing,
Roses thickly clustering:
Woodbine blossoms that clamber and cling,
Ferns that fresh in the woodland spring,
Flowers that sweet to the breezes fling,
Babble of streams and drip of wells,
Golden gleams and balmy Stnells,
Bees a-buzz in odorous dells--
What is the world their gladness tells,
What the bliss they brines?:
Summer is loose and spring'i away ;
Hearts be gay ;, pipe and play,
Revel and laugh the livelong day,
Bind the brow with the bloom of May,
Lavo the limbs in the foam and spray,
Whirl in the dance at evening gray, :
Beat the moss with lithesome feet,
Tumble and toss the hay in the heat,,,
Stray in the grass, stray m the wheat—
This is the bliss of their biudon,weet,
These the words they 'say:
Oassville Soldiers' Orphans' School.
TILE EXAMINATION
The prosperity of the Cassville Sol
diers' Orphans' School' is clearly' indi•
cated in the recent annual examine-
Lion of its 'pupils, hold. July 22d, HO.
Officers, teachers, scholars, friends, all
appeared happy and joyous, in view
of the day and exercises'before them.
It was the ebildren's day; or appoint
ment, and they were ready to enjoy
it. Col. McFarland, State Superinten
dent, assisted by Prof. James .L; Ran
kin, of 'Madison, Ind., W. G. ill,arple, of
White Hall Orphans' School, and Prof.
A. L. Gess, Principal, examined the
school, and were very instructive and
interesting in their remarks upon each
of the branches of study as they wore
presented by the classes. The spelling
was good; in reading the
,articulatien
and pronunciation clearrand distinct;
the writing most excellent; arithmetic,
grammar, geography, history, physi
ology, creditable; the, department of
the children correct, and the visitors
well pleased. There was much to in
struct, strengthen and enlarge the
heart, and the results will doubtless
he cheering to the friends and teach
ers, and beneficial to the school.
The folloWing were the averages in
the higher grades and studios at the
examination :

the weather was for the time, forgot.
ten. The admirably. selected pieces,
the well trained and modulated voices
of the singers, held the assembly en
chained and enraptured, and the hours
sped by in such an excess of delight, as
to leave the hearer almost unconscious
of its flight. This department is under
the immediate charge of Prof. A. U.
Weidman and Captain W. L. Owens,
whose accomplishments as vocalists,-us
well as their plan of imparting instruc
tion to others, is peculiar to themselves;
and we may justly say that the swell
ing of 200 voices simultaneously, caus
ing the walls of the institution to echo
to the surrounding bills the accent of
their musical voices, was magnificently
grand, and gave full attestation to cor
rectness of instruction, and spoke the
ability of their teachers in song. •
NUMBER, or PUPILS
Since the opening of this Institution
37 boys and 25 girls who have arrived
at the ago of 16, have enjoyed its ad
vantages, while the instruction impar•
ted has rendered them useful as morn
bet•s of society, and capable of sustain
ing themselves by their own industry.
Of the whole number• admitted into
the school, there were 153 boys and
124 girls. 01 those now present there
aro 111 boys and 95 girls, all of which
enjoy a high degree of health, and,not
a single death has occurred in the in
stitution since its organization, Nov.
6th. 1365.
TUE STATE SUPERINTENDENT.
It is designed by Cul. McFarland,
the State Superintendent, that •the lit
erary progress of. the Soldiers' ' Or
phan ,Schools shall be made more man
ifest; that education of the highest
type,bo hero introduced and taught,
intellectually and phylffeally ; that the
orphans may Nil-prove the advantages
which Pennsylvania offers them. We
havo at the head of these schools a man
thoroughly devoted to the work, and
one who will permit no opportunity
to promote their-advancement to pass
unimproved. He has already done
good service for the past three years,
and ho is as energetic as over; and will
no doubt accomplish much more..
ODDER. OF STUDY AND RECITATION'S

establishment and see the practicabili

each child is only in schoOl six hours;
there is a regular detail system, by
which one-fpurtti of the pupils are oth

according to classes, into the first, sec

There are seven grades, the seventh
constituting one class, the sixth two,
the filth one, the fourth one, the third
two, the second three, and the first
two. Each of these grades;study as
many branches as they are fitted, to
pursue. The seventh is the higher
grade. , Eventually, there will be nine
grades,and the course more thorough.

though a recess, a dinner hour, a de

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION

in practice, has proved so g,o' ri orally
'successful as have the Soldiers',Orphan
Schools of , Pennsylvania; to supple
ment an education in which both the
mental and physical faculties are'prop
erly cultivated, and which will enable
these institutions to rival the highest
grade of private schools, or possibly
compote with the colleges, and univer
sities of our land.
Let us giv,o a few moments to the
examination of the circumstances. 'We

A great majority of • the teachers of

never speaking a word directly on the
subject of - religion, yet by the power
of a silent, consistent example exerts a

next place as a matter of fact,, direct
religious teaching is not entirely ex
cluded. The Bible is read - daily; it
is appealed to as ultimate authority in
questions of history or morals, it:is
quoted for, illustration in squeltions of
taste; it is in fact a text book, for di
rect study. In,the next place all the
children attend the Sabbath School=
•the latter - supplementing 'the instruc
tions of • the former. ' The case there
fore, is not that of an education purely
intellectual ; moral .and religious in
struction accompanies-the instruction
in worldly knowledge.
The Sabbath School, the intellectual,
and thb industrial, by their combined
and ceaseless activities, infuse into our
course of elementary education a much
larger religious ingredient: than a
stranger might, suppose, who should
confine his examination to a more in
spection of Our School, or to the 'read

ucation will spread rapidly over our
country,
and supply ono of our great

PROF. A. L. OUBS, n. AI
, Prof. Guss is certainly deservingthe
gratitude of the public for the manner
in which he is conducting the Soldiers'
Orphans' School of Cassville. Ho has
made the Institution useful to the
teacher—valuable- to 'the orphan—in
teresting to the mother—entertaining
to the stranger. The Professor has
doubtless the best of reasons for sup
posing his labors aro appreciated, and
that his object is recognized, for all vis•
itors aro singularly unanimous in ex
pressions of approval. His intercourse
with the children is characterized by a
peculiar discipline—firm but with an
open and generous heart. They are
his constant companions; lean upon,
caress, and consult-him about the most
trivial matters. The' father Who shed
his life blood upon the issues of Free
dom and Nationality, has for his child,
no greater, no better, no kinder par
ent; than Prof. Guss: May the boy in
wiping the tear' et orphanage from his
brow; realize that • the touching bond
which unites him to a man whose
heart forever boats with the vestal
fire of patriotism can-never be severed,
but remain untarnished through -time
and eternity: , FB4NK.

year will sell 3,000,000 bales of cotton,
and that she will receive as much
therefor as 6,000,000 bales would have
