Common sense dictates that in whatever I men undertake they ought first carefully to count the cost. The strand of life is I strewn thick with the wrecks of thousands j who, if th?y had but counted the cost, ! might have reached a prosperous haven in I safety. I Is a young man about to choose a pro fession'r Let him examine his capabilities thoroughly, so as to ascertain exactly what he can do, aud what he cannot, before he commits himself irrevocably to any partie , ular pursuit. Many a person has been kept struggling his whole life through, be cause he chose a trade, business or profes j siou unsuited to him. Everybody has a j natural qualification for sofnp one thing. This inau is a born mechanic, that a born orator, this a merchant, that a farmer, this an engineer, that a sailor, this a physician, that an author. Uesides all this, there are some pursuits which require capital, as manufacturing, shipping, and importing; to embark m these, without adequate means, is to invite insolvency. Or to en ter on an intellectual career without a suf ficient amount of brains or study, is 10 en sure failure. In a word, in ali conditions and phases of life, wise uieji, before they make ventures, rigidly 'count the cost.' So in tiie various relations of social life, let us, before we act, count the cost. — Have we friends ? Jlefope we alienate them by our disregard of their feeling*, it would be prudent to calculate the cost. It is easy to be unjust to a father, a mother, a brother a sister, a wife, or even a child, but it is less easy to recover the love we have outraged, or still the voice of remorse, especially if the grave has since closed over them. Even the conventialisms of life, trifling as they arc in one point of view, cannot be set at defiance with impunity, so that a wise man, who has counted the cost, never violates them unless duty imperative ly r. ijmres it. io w.n the esteem ol our leiluws is the surest road to reif respect, to happiness, and, in the long run. to honor; while to practice rudeness, meanness, hard heartedness, and other selfish vices, is to create distrust towards us first, aud finally hatred or contempt. J Before beginning a career of exfrava -1 ~e , sensual indulgence, vice or crime, lit w mid bo well to count the cost To buy | fine furniture, sport last horses, or give el j egaiit entertainments, is all very pleasant; ■ l ot when it leads tu ruin, as it so often does, Gie victim bitterly regrets that he had nut counted the cost To give ourselves u, io sway cf* the appetites, is to bru • talizo our u;.;uivs, and not only this but to ! sow a harvest ol pain and sickness for old | age, it nut to cut short our lives; unu When death conies prematurely, or we ' wri lie on : bed of agony, be sure we will j lament that we had not counted the cost, j Vice n>ven conies in an alluring garb, but the adder is coiled under her I'apinau g-Vr j merits, and if we yield to her seductions, ; the day will come when we will wish we j had counted the eost. If, by unbridled { passion, or worse stiii, by deliberate calcu lation, we rush into crime, there wiij be n time of retribution come, when we will cry aloud, bat :io one will bear, and when i oo.r lament will be, i Oh ! had I but count ed the cost!' Count the eost, count the cost, now while it is time! with some men, is a com • modity; the more they praise it, the more I they want to dispose of it; and the staler ' it is, the louder they blow the horn Edited by A. SMITH. County Superintendent. For the Educational Column. Enthusiasm in Teaching A highly cultivated lady in speaking of Dv. Tolleti, a heroic laborer and an uncom plaining sufferer in a great reform, said'he 1 had a tine enthusiasm which made him al ways confident ot success, however iong ; the triumph might be delayed/ ; This remark has been suggested to mv mind while visiting schools, and observing the numberless annoyances, tiie almost in cessant trials, tiie continual duties and cares that make so large a portion of the teach er's daily experience. The teacher has to influence and control other minds, to give direction or leading to other wills; everv i thing in the schoolroom must be adjusted Ito his wish, subject to his sway, in the ' collision of different desires, the opposition ! of conflicting wills, there is a demand for large wisdom and unfailing patience. This i patience may be the icsult of two causes — ; either the iu difference of tiie teacher, or | the lur looking tin u_lit ot a mind impres • sod with the high uses ui education and with the destiny of the human soul. The j former is not patience, but heartless apathy, I most misplaced in the midst ot youthful, plastic natures. The latter is genuine pa ' ticnce, produced by consideration of the august capabilities of the human mind— j of the heights of knowledge, \iftup, and ; reverence which it may attain; of the large • ness of hope, the breadth of sympathy, the ; sublimity of aspiration to which it may ex ( pand. It also looks forward to the good ; that may be acheivcd by the rightly educated | man, the healthful influence that will be | exerted in a community, and upon individu ! al minds, thg great gain to the security of • public morality, the impulse that will be ■ given to every generous nature to aid iu | overthrowing all forms of evil. Nor does I it confine its thought to the present life, ! but looks toward the future that lies for ! each of us beyond the light of Time; and j trusting that every right influence, every true and needed every generous wish 1 and self-forgetful deed, every Christian ef fort and prayer will surely be accompanied by the divine might and blessing. The pa tient heart of the true t:ack- is 'not wea ry in well doing.' No teacher can be entirely successful without a loftiness of purpose, and a tire | less patience produced by considerations I like those above. lie must be inspired by ! a 'fine enthusiasm,' not a blind zeal, but a I hearty confidence that his labors are for a ' noble object and cannot fail of their reward. ! This enthusiasm is not so much a manifes ; tation as an inward fire, an irresistible dc j sire and purpose to* labor for the highest ; good of those whom he must guide. There are many discouraging circum stances in almost every school ; daily trials of patience by obstinate scholars, or censo rious patrons; want of intelligence, or of interest, or of conscience in pupils; and, I perhaps, worst of all, the conviction that parents are neglectful if not opposing. In i the midst of all these obstacles to his sue- j ccss, these trials of his temper, the teacher ; is sometimes liable to be disheartened —to feel that he has mistaken his culling—to conclude that it is not worth while to labor j for those who are indifferent to his efforts. | Just here is the need of the wise enthusi- j asm of which I have spoken, and which ; may be gained in greater or less degree by i every teacher. It cannot, however, be sc- j cured except by the most serious thought; ' by a most diligent study of the value of knowledge, of the great benefit conferred ; by careful mental discipline, of the grand object of life on earth. No genuine, cit ! during enthusiasm can he inspired by less weighty considerations; and a careful in-! vestigation of these can hardly fail to awa- ; ken in every teacher's mind a sense of the ! grandeur of his mission, and a most earnest desire to act wisely in a sphere so full of responsibility. j 'I paint for posterity,' said an inspired artist, and the canvass became: immortally beautiful beneath his touch; lights and shades were so blended • scenes of striking loveliness were so p. rtrayed that they seem- j ed instinct with life, a-* if the spirit of the j artist had passed through his pencil to an- j ituate the picture forever. Such should be ' the teacher's enthusiasm, diffusing itself j through all the spirits taut throng the j schoolroom, until they are thrilled with its energy, and transformed into move earnest ' natures, with a definite, worthy aim for The true teacher—aitist oi' the school room —paints for posterity and fd immor- , tality. r i be pencil he uses is finer than J most skillful fingers ever formed or used; • the tints I e imparts are more lasting than j i colors that printers can procure, and the j j canvass wiie.eju he labors is an immortal I life. If this seem fanciful or dreamy to any, let him consider tjiat to the thoughtless ail things arc unimportant, but to the earnest everything is fall of —-most oi all is that signilieaul tvh>ch relates to the training, the moulding, the entire culture of the human mind. Teaching'is not an idle game, but a most momentous reality. And they are the best teachers who fully understand this fact, and are inspired by it fo work faithfully and cheerfully that, of all who are given them, none may be lost to the ranks of the wise and true. S- Mr. Editor :Is it necessary to offer any apologies for presuming toadvertise through the educational column the organization of a Teachers Association in the old township of Armagh. The avowed object of that column is to circulate throughout the coun ty matters o£ general interest pertaining to education, and what can be of greater interest to the zealous educator than to know that new ground is being broken and that other hands are earnestly striving to further his own cherished ends. Surely then, none would deny us a heaving and many will extend to us their well wishes and their earnest eo operation. Know then, that in Armagh tuwt*ship a Teachers As sociation is organized; and that John (Sw.irtzel is President and Mr McOurdy Secretary. So much for the announcement. . nv v.hat! Sic ply that some unity of act i' t; he effected —especially between the teachers of Men v.o, Tjnion, Brown and Ar magh. How, do you ask 'i First, say that you second such a scheme, teachers of the valley, and the thing can be done. Where there is a will there is away. ITow many vote aye—let us hear thorough the Edu cational Column. Asy.\an. saraaai&AKre* John Bell on the Crisis. John Bell, has written a letter on the present state of affairs, from which we make an extract: Ist. Mr. Lincoln it is well known, does not hold extreme opinions on the subject <>f slavery. It is certain that he lias ex pressed a decided opinion that the South has a constitutional right to demand the faithful execution of the fugitive slave law; and that under certain circumstances he would feel it his duty not to oppose the ad mission of a hew slave State into the Un ion. Upon the whole, if Mr. Lincoln's pub lic declarations upon the subject of slavery are to be considered as the true exponents of his future policy, and it he possesses the moral eourdge to adhere to them in op position to the counsels of the extreme nieti of his party, (and it is just and fair to presume that he docs possess that virtue,) no serious mischief can be apprehended dj+ring his administration, except the us ual evils attending the perpetual agitation of the slavery issues. 2d. That it is assumed by some that Mr. Lincoln has disguised his true sentiments; that his true character has not been under stood ; and that he will he under the con trol of the worst men of his party. Ido not think so. I have every confidence that his future policy will be found to he in trict conformity with his past declarations. But, apart from .this, it is now generally known that he will be powerless for mis chief, except to a very little extent, during the first two years of his administration, unless the southern Senators and Repre sentatives elected to the next Congress should rashly, and, as I think,lnexcusably resign their seats, or retire from Congress, and thus voluntarily surrender the control in both Houses to the Republican party, which surely they will not do. With both Houses opposed to him, Mr. Lincoln can not appoint his Cabinet Ministers to fill any ofliees of high grade without the assent of the Senate, or, indeed , of any inferior grade above that of a clerk or petty deputy post master. Jie will be able to carry no meas ure connected with the subject of slavery which does not commend itself to the South and the conservative members from the North. 3d. As to any apprehensions that the | Republican party, encouraged and stiniula ; ted to further eii'ects by their late success, ! may be so strengthened in the result ol' 1 the election of Senators and Representa lives, ill the meantime, as to obtain a ma jcrity in both Houses of the thirty-eighth Congress, that is, during the last two years of Mr. Lincoln's administration —while it j may be we'll to regard such an event as possible the strongest reasons exist fur the ' confident belief that no such unfortunate i icsult will attend the elections in theNoith j which arc to decide the complexion of the • thirty eighth Congress. | Of the whole number of votes cast for , Mr. Lincoln in tie lecent election, from i my own personal knowledge, and from in ■ lb. matron' received from ot her sources, ol ! the sentiments of the South, and those of . ■ ; ,j: f . v States north ol '{ the Ohio, I am sure 1 hazard aeih.on in I stating that a large Dumber—at leas* one- third—are devoted to the Union, and, al though opposed to slavery in the abstract, have hut little sympathy with the Repub lican party I am, also, satisfied that not more than one third part of Mr. Lincoln's supporters nve so ex.reuie in their anti-slavery senti ments as to be wholly indifferent as 10 the ciToeL upon the Union of tee policy of the Republican party. Of the remaining third of Mr. Lincoln's supporters, I think I am warranted in say iug that they nre atfehed to the I ttion though anti-slavery in thtdr sentiments. — I feel conhdent that the thirty-eighth Con gress will exhibit a failing oft Iq the strengin of the Republican party, instead ot an increase. -itb All of the existing grievances, of New Series—Vol. XV, No. 8- which the south ntay justly complain, can he redressed in the Union. As to the in dignity. Nt to say insult, offered to the south, of nominating and electing the can didates for the two highest offices of the" Government, by a sectional party, on prin ciples which practically excluded the south ern States from a voice in the election, contrary to established usage, and in viola tion of the spirit of the Constitution, they may be pardoned fin the sake of peace and harmony, and in eon>iJi ;aiicii tfa* itiv, south has not I con euiltl\-- < havo g con tributed, and that in no sinail dog;, v. ■in crease the violence and asperities of the slavery controversy between the two sec *iw nc • Extraordinary Double Elopement. The H' hues County (Ohio) Farmer teiis this story of a curious elopement and its consequences: On Tuesday, two weeks ago, while siar.d ing cu iTe platform <A tho depot buildiug at Crestline, waiting for the tiain to start eastward, we saw a train arri'.e from the east, ihe hr.>t persons we recognized get ting from the train were; W. K. Scott and the wife of Levi L. Johnson, oi Marlboro', Stark county. They readily lccogiozeu us, caiue up to where we were, and alter the usual salutations Squired when the train would leave for Bellefontaiue. At this moment .Mr. Johnson and the wife Yd Mr Scott also unexpectedly made their aj pear anee. The women instantly recognized each other, and without, uttering a word * pitched into' one of the liveliest free fights we have ever been called upon to witness. The way the ribbons, bonnetsr collars and fancy fixings flew about was re freshing to milliners and uiautua makers. This excited Scott and Johnson, and they were so sorely grieved at each other fol; running away with their respective wives, that they went into express with a hearty goad will. A great many persons gathered around, but no one caring much which of the par ties whipped, they encouraged the fighj and laughed at the sport. While they were fighting Constable Smith stepped up, stopped the fighting, anil 1 took the par ties before the Mayor, who fined each of them So and costs for breaking the peace. Scott and Mrs. Johnson, who have for some time been suspected of being guilty of intrigues, had planned an elopement, and Johnson had also planned an elope ment to be carried out on the same day y/ith the fitber parties. Both guilty par ties had clandestinely slipped oft' front Marlboro' on the same-day pane partyfooli the cars at Alliance, and the other got on the same train, though in a different car, at Louisville station. Neither couple sus pected the other until they met at Crest line, when the. feelings they enjoyed may be imagined but cannot be described on griper. After paying their fines, which satisfied them that fighting was an unprofitable way of settling the difficulty. they indulged in the application ci a goodly number of hard words and names to each other, and finally separated, Scott and Mrs. Johnson taking the B. & L. Railroad, and Johnson and Mrs. Scott the P., Ft. W. & 0. Railroad. Since then nothing has been heard of their journeyinga A Remarkable Year.
