And still to the world his drinking Is neither hero nor there; But somebody's pa, I'm thinking, Or sister or mother would care. He'll wake to.morrow, it's patient, And he'll conic down stairs all right, And look almost if ho hadn't Been out on a "tear" last night. And somehody's mother-nnd sibt9r, ' • When told that brothel: gets "tight," Aro almost inclined to blister Your oheekn with their hands outright But somebody's sins are wearing 'rho jewel of life away ; And somebody's boy wayfaring, Will die on the 'street inme day.; The ."• Sweeping Brigade," "Invisible," the Harrisburg corres• pondent of the Blair County Radical, thus 'writes Of thelchweePtat'brigade: The "sweeping . brigade" is one of the institutions of the Capitol. it numbers sixty women, divided into three companies of twenty each—•ten for each house—and each does duty two evenings a week. At precisely six o'clock each week day; high up goeS the !Argo Windows and in rushes the keen, bracing air of the Susque hanna, penetrating every nook and corner oldie chambers and committee rooms and admonishing the tardy leg -1"1!11.032,_1.0 ills Premise's Wifh mop and broom, cloth and brush, the charge is made.. Ono platoon pierces the centre of the one hundred and fif• ty-seven spittoons, another keeps an enfilading fire with sand and, soap upon the unpretending, nnoffending fenders that stand picket between leg islative coat-tails and the material fire of the hickory back-logs behind, and another, still, captures the little wil• Hems and unhatched snakes that have carelessly found their way outside of desk locks to the floor. The avalanche of little bits of paper. segar stumps, peanut shells, apple cores, bits of cake, (for legislators, as old Abe Lincoln onto said of Presidents, "aro only men of ter all," and have more stomach than brains,)and so forth, that rolls down the main isle, proclaim the bri gade more than mistresses of the situ ation. This sweeping process lasts ono hour and costs the State fifty cents apiece for each woman, or $lO a night. =I The contests for these little crumbs are often fought with an earnestness similar to the masculine tilts for the higher positions; and on the evenings the two Chief Clerks make the selec tions (usually about the middle of the first week,) the excitement in the Ro tunda among the applicants and their children, often equals that of the stern er crowd awaiting a caucus delibera tion. I have often lookdd on as the sweepers were announced, and pitied in my inmost soul many who have been disappointed. For there aro ma ny deserving women who fail at each annual selection, but through no fault of the Clerks It may seem strange to the Radical's, readers that Clerks should be importuned night and day by applicants and even Members, for positions worth but a dollar por week; but your renders arc morn familiar With tliii - Mti‘iitifadtird of iron and - the" growing of wheat than the wiles of the legislature.

Caldwell; a teacher from Morris, at the recent! session of the County Institute : MR. PRESIDENT-FELLOW MEMBERS : Sensible of the honor conferred upon mo I rise to cast ,into the scale of Pub• Ile Opinion my slight influence in fa vor of a law compelling children to attend school. Conscious of the fact that many, very many voices aro against it, I' ap. pear as its advocate, believing that ,such legislation would be both just, and beneficial to the youth of our land. It is but justice to them that they should be educated, and if they in their ignorance prefer to remain away from places of instruction, and their parents in their foolishness, allow them to do so, I say it is the duty of those who are entrusted with the care of our country to provide a law for such an ,exigency. When we notice how small a number of the youthful portion of our population attend school, the necessity for such a law becomes at once apparent. Some object to a law of this' kind because it would exercise, or seem to exercise too much authority over their children. In answer to this objection,, serious as it may at, first appear, I would simply say, 'that the parent who is doing, his duty toward his child, by sending him to shool, will not consider such a law as usurping his authority, and as for those who aro Nor doing their duty, in this respect, toward the children God has given them, 'it 'is about time some one else was doing it for them. If a parent shows himself incompe tent, or unwilling to direct his offspring aright 7 -if he appears satisfied to let thorn wrap' ua their talents in a 'napkin and turn them down into th'o earth with a plow—it is time 60y1.3 oho' Was speaking for. his defeneoless, and inno, cent children. And who,or.what can do this more effectually and decidedly than can a litw'of our country ? ' Some one will say, I had to stay ut home when I was young and work, instead of sitting at my ease in a school,rontn—and I do not intend that my childnii - shall faro any better in this respect than 'I did." I haVo'often.heard men talk in this, strain and a peculiar absenee of 7,4 sys l a:. di , lllay d, - "Then wo hear persons talc - after tide firshion.--L- Men who would hurler away ibeir l childreifs happiness for the sake' of amassing -a little more wealth—who would, deprive their children of an edUcation, merely because they can save a few more dirty, greasy dollars, or because they themselves wore so unfortunate in youth as to be depriv ed of such an opportunity. 1 say, men who could safer forget their duty to—and bo gni!ty of such base conduct toward the children God has given them, are, to use the mildest term ap plicable, ignorant and unworthy the gift.of a child, much less absolute au thority over ono. Gentlemen, the time has passed when an ignorant, honest nation can stand. We must have an intelligent, and a very intelligent people to decide • the great and intricate questions which will rise ere many years have passed over the head of this people ; and if an intelligent people we must have;. to preserve the gift of our fore gathers from dissolution and ruin. shall wo allow misguided, ignorant, and over-indulgent parents to mould the minds of the rising generation ? It is, I repeat, into the hands of an intelligent and learned people we wish to hand over the ruins of this govern ment, when we—l mean the present generation —"shall shuffle ,off this mortal coil." , The " signs of • the times" are unu sually significant, and indicate a time in the future when hard and difficult problems will be given this nation to solve,—and God grant that the Amer ican People, who elaini to bo a far seeing nation, will prepare the heads of our young people—who aro destin ed, in future time, to guide our " Ship of State,','—to grapple with, and cut successfully the Gordian limits which will fall to their lot to untie. •And how can the legislators of our nation more effectually secure this end, than by 'mesh - I'g an_ ordinance which will the regul • ai., attendance'' of Young America at Sphool?
