THE WORLD TO COME.
, I If all our hopes and all our fears,
i Were prisoned in life's narrrow bound;
If travelers through this vale of tears,
We saw no better world beyond,
Oh : what could cheek the rising sigh?
What earthly thing could pleasure give ?
Oh! who would venture, then, to die—
Or who would venture then—to live ?
Were life a dark and desert moor,
Where mists and clouds eternal spread
Their gloomy veil behind, before,
And tempests thunder over head;
Where not a sunbeam breaks the gloom,
And not a floweret smiles beneath,
Who would exist in such a tomb—
Who dwell in darkness and in death?
And such were life without the ray
Of our divine religion given?
'Tie this that makes our darkness day,
'Tis this that makes our earth a heaven!
Bright is the golden sun above,
And beautiful the flowers that bloom,
And all is joy, and all is love,
Reflected from the world to come.

The Relation Existing between the Tea
cher and the Civil Government. . i
Certain public spirited citizens of this
; State have been instrumental in haviug a
bill introduced into tbe Pennsylvania Le- j
gislature, which designs appropriating a
j portiou of the public money lor the sup- J
port of aged and superannuated teachers. |
As the writer of this article has not
I seen the details of the bill, he does not
.. . i
i presume to give an opinion on the merits
1 0l its individual features. Yet he does 1
j not hesitate to venture the assertion that
many of those who have noticed the intro
i ductiou of the bill have, from the first,
been opposed to the idea of teachers be- j
coming the objects of puolic benefaction.
The eyes of such have either been blinded
by fears of increased taxation, or they have
| failed to comprehend the relations existing j
between the teacher and the civii govern
ment.
The faithful public school teacher is a |
! public benefactor, and as such, has a right j
to look to the government lor support, alter
he has spent all his euergies iu the ser
vice.
The downfall of nations, together with
the detection of those influences which, ;
either directly or indirectly, produced their i
overthrow, is perhaps one of the prolound- i
I est themes presented for the investigation '
of man. To detect those causes which are j
secretly and insiduously, though powerful ,
iy and effectually, sapping the foundations i
of civil government, bullies the discern- j
• ment and skill of even the shrewdest phi
losophers. So various and intricate are
their workings, that it is often impossible
! to discover them until they have culuiina
| ted in the overthrow of government. Yet
j there are certaiu general principles which ,
it is evident cannot be disregarded without |
serious consequences, while there are cer
tain influences which are indispensible to
| the perpetuity of government and its insti
tutiuns. Tbe stability of a republican
form of government depends greatly upon j
the degree of intelligence disseminated •
among the masses. It is the only real safe- j
guard against the insidious power of polit- '
ical corruption. If men are intelligent, it
is presumed they will act intelligently. In
a democratic government the power is
lodged in the hands of the masses, and the
masses alone are responsible for its use as
well as its abuse. They alone are account
able lor the results, when those elements
of social discord, which must eventually
prove the overthrow of national existence,
are permitted unmolested to pursue their
work of destruction. These truths are so
| plain that it is presumed no one will lor a
; moment call them in question. But how
and by whom are the masses to be educat- :
ed and fitted to become intelligent A uteri- i
i can citizens, if not through the influence I
of those teachings imbibed from the lips of
those whose special mission it is to fit them
for the highest usefulness in the State and !
Church? The stability and perpetuity of
our republican institutions depends greatly !
| upon the spirit which animates those who
| coutrol the education of our youth It is
i a commonly received opinion, that the
truths imbibed in early youth make the
most lasting impressions, and the teach
ers of the public schools of our country,
operating by both precept and example up
on the minds of our youth, are moulding
the future destiny of the American repub
lic. We hold that it is the duty of every
; faithful teacher to instil into the minds of
; his pupils correct views of the principles
jof republican government. Nay, more.
The teacher who neglects it, is unfaithful
: to the trust committed to him ; and he who
I misrepresents the genius of our institu
j tions, is positively disloyal. In a word, it
| is the special mission of the teacher to pre-
I pare the youth of our country, by means of
: the elevating and expanding power of ed
ucation, to take enlarged and comprehen
sive views of the duties of an American
citizen, and to fit them to discharge those
duties intelligently and faithfully. With
an educated and intelligent citizenship, the
republic is sale lrom the power of all civil
dissensions, and the incursions of oil ex
ternal foes.
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1864.
If, then, as we have endeavored to show,
the teacher exerts a mighty and unlimited
power in developing those influences which
| are the only last ; ng bonds of civil society
—if he disseminates those truths which are
the most powerful in perpetuating the in
stitutions of civil government —is he not a
I public benefactor, and as such, has he not
a right to claim the support of that gov
| eminent alter he has spent all his energies
i in its service ? V.

A HEART'S HISTORY.
He said 'lie loved me,' and the doubts
and fears that had made another chaos of
my soul for weary months were at once
j dispelled by the uiagic cf this little sen
| tence. And light aud joy were once again
the creation of a new born existence, and
being as of old, when God said 'let there
be light,' and there was light. Yea, what
glory beamed upon me when this whisper
ed conflrmation of my dearest hopes was
breathed in my but too willing ear by the
lips I hold the most precious of all the
earth ! And oh, how I revelled in this
second Paradise, forgetting, alas, in my wild
| mental delirium, the serpent pernicious
touch should wither the fairest flowers of j
my budding heart, wreathed now so bright, !
, and seemingly of immortal planting.
But a change came in the spirit of my
i dream, and he who was the sun of my
! life's tiny universe, and who should have I
cherished me with the fondest and constant
devotion; alas, that his hand should be the ,
destiued one to strip ail of my beauty and
fragrance from my late blissful existence.
I have not told you that nature had al
most entirely neglected ine in her distribu
tion of personal charms; but such, I must
1 confess, is tbe to me sometimes huuiilia- j
ting truth; and yet why should this fact, I
one trivial when exhibited in its true char- i
acter, cause us one moment of mortification
: or regret! when the law of compensation ;
mercifully vouchsafes us who are deprived i
of physical attraction the inner, but more !
lasting beauty of the intellectual. But,
I my distribution of the seemingly essential |
requisite of outward loveliness made me
, feel indeed 'poor in spirit' when he came !
j praising the soft lustre of my eyes, and the
regal beauty of a brow, which did not bestow j
a tithe of mental grandeur and grace tmy [
I else plain and uninteresting countenance !
And I believed him, and thought that 1, !
' even I, though homely aud unattractive to j
others, might experience the untold happi
I ness of being beloved. But, alas, how j
vain and fleeting was this delusion. For j
l a brief while, everything seemed propitious, j
and my hungry soul was indeed full of re- !
pletiun, until an opposing dark but beauti i
i'ul shadow, in the shape of a fascinating j
but unprincipled girl, came too near the
brightness of uiy soul's life.
| 'Twas on a warm sunny afternoon in '
June sweet and rose crowned, that 1
walked with my affiauced, my dear, but j
alas, my perjured Walter ro the landing, ,
where I expected to meet an old school j
mate of mine, Luta Langdon, by whose
side I had conned, in days gone by, those
i great exponents of the mind of man
| books of miscellaneous and erudite charac
ter. It was several years since we parted
ou the old school verandah, she, to wend
her way to her beautiful Southern home,
and I, to return to my less imposing but
no less dear country fire side. We had
been corresponding during our separation,
and upon my making a request lor a visit
from her, the same met a prompt accept
ance, and this afternoon was the time de
signated for its fulfillment.
Well, to be brief, I would say she is
here, and we are now retracing our steps,
talking joyously in our gratification at '
experiencing this long anticipated excur
! sion.
How shall I describe her, whose puny
hand was to be potent in seeking my des
; tiny—the beautiful glittering, but subtle
and designing Luta Langdon. The fervid
kisses of her native sun had left their
j shadows on her check, and the fires of
her warm southern nature blazed iu her
dark almond shaped eyes, and bloomed
bright as the promegranatc on her lull,
pouting lips, which disclosed, when parted,
ti eth of the purest lustre and beauty. Her
DOSO was ol the Grecian type, and her
crowning glory consisted in a wreath of
jet-black hair which nearly veiled a lorm
of nature s most perfect handiwork. llow
humiliating then to human nature, that a
casket of such unrivaled splendor, should
contaiu a spirit so fiend-like as hers proved
to be. Methinks its hateful influence
should have scorched all that was divine
and lovely in her outward appearance;
but alas! such indications of a Judas
like spirit were not revealed, to tell to us
beware.
We passed the evening of her arrival
agreeably; having made our respective
toilet, Luta looked bewitching in black lace
and scarlet japonicas, whilst I, being rather
pale, wore white muslin aud pink roses. I
Walter was with us, and he seemed j
nobler aud dearer to me than ever, as he
stood leaning over Luta, who was scanning
a Photographic Album of my shadowy
treasures. Having finished their survey
and explanations, Walter proposed 'musio/
and as this was Luta's particular 'forte,'
she manifested no disinclination to comply.
He escorted her to the piano, and he seemed
spell bound, as her rich soul-thrilling; voiee
poured forth liquid melody. Did 1 not
fear the feyren s spell in those witching
strains.'' Oh, no; my love for my betrothed
was of the most unselfish nature, and I
| was gratified in beholding his enjoyment,
for he was an ardent enthusiast in this
most sublime of the arts, and I unfortu
nately, possessed not the power of im
parting this exquisite pleasure. So I
dreamed on, unconscious of evil, sitting bv
I the open window, whilst their united voi
! ces —for he had now joined her—were
borne to me on the sweet breath of even
ing. 1 bus it was from day to day, and from
evening to evening, they seemed only to
live tor and in each other; the flowers that
were once mine, as tokens of a fond devo-
I tion ail my own, now shed their sacredness
j on another bosom, and brighter, darker
locks than hers, whom he once fondly
styled his dear, majestic Mildred.
And how do you think one so sensi
tively constituted as myself, bore this de
i throneu ent from a heart where I had so
lately reigned supreme! At times, I felt,
as though my reason would of necessity
succumb to the cruel burden that was
pressing my very life out. Oh, I shall
never forget those weary, anxious days,
| and tortured nights; their burning fingers
have made indelible lines upon my soul,
which time, with all its waves, can never, !
no never efface. All this time, however, i
I manifested not the least sign of the in- j
ward struggle that was literally killing me
day by day. For pride, as c.f old, still
holds Iter despotic sway over the ruins of
; a blighted heart, and no one, not even
those who were most intimately concerned
in the change, was couscious of the volcanic
fires that seethed beneath my apparently
calm, yet I know, fearfully pale exterior.
' But all in this world, fluctuating and yari
able, be it of pleasant or fearful character,
must have an end, and accident kindly
; effected what my feeble heart shrunk from
j in denouement.
We were occupying one morning the i
little room in my home, which I had play
fully dubbed 'the library.' It contained a
I small collection of library treasures in an
: old fashioned mahogany book-case, and as
I at odd times patronized the muses there,
I do not deem the above dignified appella
: tion misapplied. 'Twas also the favorite
I sitting room of the family. Luta was half
reclined on a lounge, and beautifully at
j tired in a pret'y pink morning wrapper, to
; all appearances engaged in a book. I was
finishing a sketch I had taken on a recent
' ramble, when we were interrupted by the
| entrance of the mail-boy. There were two
letters —one for Luta and the other for me.
; I seated myself to glean over the contents
: ot my own, when I was startled by an ex
clamation from my companion : 'Oh ! Mil
ired, this letter is from my betrothed, and
he is coming to take me home, so 1 must
do ruy packing immediately, and you may
l tell \V alter, when he returns from the city, j
that I am much obliged for his delightful |
1 entertainment this summer; and, that i hope j
he will meet some one yet, who will be to !
him what 1 never cou d!' The heartless
ness of her conduct was exhibited in every
tone thus shamelessly uttered, and outraged
hospitality and friendship overflowed in
the following upbraidings, and I saiu :
'Very well, I will assist you in your pre
Durations, but you have forever forfeited
Mildred May's confidence and regard.
You have, merely to gratify a little persoual
vanity estranged one, who was mine by the
decree of heaven and the soul, and who, had
he never came under your dire influence,
might still be the guiding star of my exis
tence. Go then, vain aud unprincipled
girl, and may yiu never experience the
just retribution of a crime so repreheusible
as thine; yes, go, and may the memory of
this unfriendly act lead you to repentance,
and a purer life.'
To day she left us, but the shadow of
her blighted presence still remains, and
when Walter comes, he will find me no
longer the Mildred of old: my heart
seemes petrified, and I know his image
can never again be reflected on its broken j
surface.
Well, he has been here, and his unfeign
ed anguish and remorse it seems should
awake my torpid spirit: he says he loves
me still, and that he never nally cared for
Luta, but was without volition bound tern
porarily by her coquetish wiles. But all j
his loving and agonizing supplications are
powerless to break the lethargy of my soul
And now he leaves me, while darkness once
more rests upon the face of the deep, and
my spirit shall never be resurrected, until
the light of Divine love illuminates my I
shadowy life.

Flag Presentation.
On the occasion recently of present
ing a flag to the 205 th regiment. Col.
Mathews made the following address:
Cant. Spcice, and through you Company
C : —From your position in the regiment
and from choice of the field officers there
of, you are designated the color company
I have the honor this day to acknowledge
the receipt of the national flag from His
Excellency the Goveinorof Pennsylvania,
and to assign it to your care and protection,
and particularly in the hour of conflict
with the enemies of this flag. If we did
not confide in your integrity and devotion
j to the country you serve, we would not as
| sign so important a trust to you, hut the
patriotism you and yours evince in coming
i from your homes ot comfort and enjoy
ment, to undergo the hardships, privations
i and dangers incident to this life, argues to
us that you must be patriots and that the
j spirit of patriotism that prompts you to so
j noble a duty, will prompt you, one and ail,
to die if needs be, in defence of this sa
cred trust. Sergeant, corporals, you who
j compose the color guard, take this flag and
keep it as sacred and as holy as you wonld
the apple of your eye, and officers, soldiers
of the 205 th, swear with me on the altar
of your liberties, this day, to protect that
I flag from the encroachments of any and
all of its enemies; and Chaplain, here in
; the presence of the regiment, ask in our
names aud in the name of our country, of
I the God of that flag and of the God ot our
country, to so inspire us, one and all, wi'h
that spirit of devotion to our cause that
will insure its return untarnished to His
Excellency from whom it came.
The ceremonies were closed by the I
I annexed prayer:
Oh God, our Father and Friend ! We 1
feel the sacredness of the trust which has !
! just been committed to us. As a regiment
i of living men, having been marshalled as
| soldiers for the defence of our country, we
have, upon this " Holy day" and in thy im
mediate presence, received the flag which
floats before us, at the hands of our Col , '!
from His Excellency the Governor of Penn
sylvania. We thank thee that in the wise
dispensations of thy providence, ttoou hast
moved us to come forth in defence of a
cause which lies so near every true patri
otic heart. Around this national banner
linger, in sweetest repose, our dearest in
terests and fondest recollections. It em
blematizes all that is pure and sacred to us
as American citizens. The life and vigor
of our civil, political and religious institu- 1
tions are alike dependent upon the protec- i
tion afforded this dear flag. Under its sa- !
cred folds our plenipotentiaries have been
respected, honored and died in distant !
lands. Under it our proud navy has can
vassed the wide oceans, unharmed and hon
ored. And bathed in its rich and varie- ;
I gated shadows many a brave heait has felt
| bis lifeblood ooze away, during the progress
| of this unprovoked and sanguinary war.
And now, as the God of our revolutionary
fathers, as the God of our liberties, as the
God of the mighty army of brave men
who have shown their love for their coun
try by dying for it, we pray thee, make us
as soldiers worthy recipients of a trust so
sacred. And may it be the chief glory of
the bearer of this banner to carry it (in
the fear of God) through the thickest of
the smoke in the fiercest battle, and bring
it out in triumph, without a single rent
from its enemies, with victory, in letters of
living light, written upon every s!ripe and
blazing from every star. Oil God! we i
pray thee, bless the Captain of the color
company, with all his officers and nien.
Bless each Captain and each officer of all j
the companies in the regiment. Bless our i
Colonel, with all the regimental and staff
officers. Oh, God ! may our commanding
officer be inspired from above with true
and patriotic valor, that he may successful
ly lead these noble men to victory, glory
and peace. Preserve bis life with the
lives of his men, and may we all, when
1 peace shall have been restored to our coun
try, now drenched in blood, return to our
quiet homes and loved friends, to enjoy
the rich boon for whioh our lives are im
perilled. Oh, God !we pray thee, guide
the President of these United States, with
all his advisers, in the solution of the in
tricate problem of war, which now so agi
' tates their minds. And grant to them the
Holy Spirit, that it may direct them in the
use of the most judicious means for the
speedy and permanent termination of this
bloody strife. Bless the commanding offi
cer of the great Union armies now in the
: field. Oh, God ! give him a proper appre
ciation of the responsible position he holds. I
And under his wise generalship, in con- j
junction with the united and harmonious
efforts of those under him, may peace
quickly spread her haicyon beams over our
entire land. All these unmerited favors
we ask alone through the merits and in the
name of Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

President Lincoln's Speech on Wednes
day Morning-
On Wednesday morning, between two
and three o'clock, a number of Pennsyl
vanians, finding tbat the President was at
i the War Department, repaired thither with
a band and serenaded him. Mr. Lincoln
acknowledged the compliment in the fol
lowing remarks :
Friends and Fellow-citizens—Even he
fore I had been informed by you that this
compliment was paid me by loyal citizens
of Pennsylvania friendly to me, I had in
ferred that you were of that portion of my
countrymen who think that the best inter
ests of the nation are to be subserved by
the support of the present administration.
I do not pretend to say that you who think
so embrace all the patriotism and loyalty of
the country. Put Ido believe, and i trust
without personal interest, that the welfare
I of the country does require that such sup
port aud endorsement be given. 1 earnest
ly believe that the consequences of this
day's work—it it be as you assume, and as
now seems probable—will be to the lasting
advantage, it not to he the very salvation
|of the country. I cannot at this hour say
what has been the result of the election;
hut whatever it may be, I have no desire
to modily this opinion, that all who have
labored to day in behalf of the Union or
ganization, have wrought for the best in
; terests of their country and the world, not
i only for the present but for all future ages.
L am thankful to God for this approval of
the people. Put while deeply grateful for
this mark of their confidence in me, if I
know my heart, my gratitude is free from
any taint of personal triumph. I do not
impugn the motives of any one opposed to
! me. It is no pleasure to me to triumph
i over any one. Put I give thanks to the
Almighty for this evidence of the people's
resolution to stand by free government and
the rights of humanity."
A Warlike World.
i The Opinion Nationale of a recent date
' gives this dismal picture of the present
belligerent condition of the world:
'lf there be a dead calm in politics as
well as business amongst us, it is not the
' same iu all parts of the little planet we
' inhabit. Three quarters of humanity, in
fact, are living in the barbarous state of
war.
'There is war in Poland.
'War in Algeria.
'War in Tunis
'War in Mexico
'War in the United States.
'War in Peru.
'War in New Zealand.
'War in China and Kacbgar.
'War in Japan.
'War in Afghanistan.
'War in twenty countries in Africa.
'This is, unfortunately, enough to dis
courage the friends of universal peace; and
who can say they will not meet with still
greater disappointment next year? Italy,
Hungary, Poland, Denmark, and the Sla
vonian populaticn of Turkey, are not, it
must he confessed, iu the most pacific hu
mor; and to those who study the general
■ situation of our continent, it is quite evi
dent that the general situation, instead of
| getting better, goes on from day to day
getting more and more complicated.'
H*3X- A traveler, near the close of a
weary day's drive over a lonely and
muddy road, came to a little log cabin
in the forest, and asked for a drink.
J A young woman supplied his wants,
and afterwards, as she was the first
woman he had seen in several days, he
offered her a dime for a kiss. It was
