Analysis of the Massachusetts Stale Assayer, j
January 25, 1858.
When evaporated through clean linen it
left no oil or offensive matter. In every res
pect it is aPI KE spirituous liquor. The oil
which gives to this Brandy its flavor and aro
ma, is wholly unlike fusil, or grain oil. Its
odor partakes of both the fruit and oil of
grapes With acids, it produces ethers of a
high fragrance. The substitution of this
Brandy for Cognac Brandy will do away with
the manufacture of fictitious spirits, sold un
der this name both at home and abroad.

For the Educational Column.
THE SCHOOL HOUSE OS THE HILL..
SCENE FIRST.
On a bright November evening—
Bright the stars that watched above us,
Bright was o!d Orion gleaming
O'er Stone Mountain iu the distance.
Bright the stream beside tlie hillock, .
Bright the glow-worm on its edges.
Bright the merry laugh of childhood,
Ringing faint and still more laiutly.
Not a farmer saw I labor.
No man calling to his neighbor.
All the children quiet sleeping.
All the cattle ceased their feeding.
All the lazy pigs were snoring
in ihe straw stack in the buniyard;
Even Carlo now was dozing
On a rug up -n the doorsili.
Whippoorwiils have ceased their singing,
Katydids n > longer fiddling.
Scarce a cricket dales his chirping,
Save within the chimney corner.
Only now and then a murmur.
Like a milldam in the distance.
Or some gently blowing zephyr
Walling fragrance fioiri the pine trees,
Could i hear from all aroud ine.
Thus I stood one autumn evening,
Stood within a grove of hemlock.
Stood and looked into a schoolhouse,
Looked upon its torn up benches.
On its smoky walls and ceiling,
On its desks, ill-shaped and greasy,
On its old and 1 -aky bucket.
All within was dark and gloomy.
All without was bright and cheerful.
Turned I not away then quickly?
Turned away with heart so sadly.
When a voice within me whispered,
••-Thus the infant mind is ruiued."
Then some angel spirit touchej me.
Touched me, till entranced 1 listened
To some sweet, melodious music.
Like the low and pent up murmuring
Of the streamlet, flowing gently
By the hill thai stood below me,
And a voice within it singing
Lines of truth I here shall quote you:
God created fields and mountains.
Forest trees and meadows green.
Streams that gush from living fountains,
Life and light where'er 'tis seen.
Birds upon the branches singing.
Herds upon the thousand liiil.s.
Monsters in the ocean swimming,
Tiny fishes in the rills.
Sun and moon to us appearing.
And the siars we see above —
All His works, to us endearing.
Show His wisdom and His love.
God made mau his image bearing,
With a soul of priceless worth,
Not an earthly creature fearing,
Lord and king of all tlie earth.
Placed before him hills and mountains.
Meadows, fields, streams, rocks and rill;
Flocks ami herds ith rippling fountains.
All that sea and air can fill.
Why then, in his earlv training,
Cheat him thus of Nature's book ?
In your dingy schoolroom straining,
Crush him down with sour look ?
In a schoolroom! Yes. a prison!
Fettered down upon a scat.
Where no soul has ever risen,
Save it were upon its feet.
Oh. how can you. cruel parent,
Shut your offspring in a cage !
Keep him there in daily torment—
Task unstuted to his age!
Thus the voice did sing so plaintive,
Sang till night her sable curtain
Dropped atid ail was still.
SCENE SECOND.
On a bright December morning,
15: iglit and clear the sky above us.
Bright the sun yet faintly snirnng
Oef Jack's Mountain iu the distance;
Shining through a grove of hemlock,
Sinning on a whitened schoolhouse,
On a bill beside the streamlet.
Bright the merry laugh of children
On their way to school so early.
All the farmers' boys are whistling.
Calling to their nearest neighbors;
Ali the children up and waning.
Wanting mamma now to dress them;
All the cattle loudly lowing.
All the noisy pigs are grunting,
Near the eider press below me.
Even Carlo keeps a barking
At he don t know what he's meaning.
Scarce a creature now is quiet.
Save it were one dead or dying ;
E'en the mill below the timipiae
Has commenced its noisy clatter.
Thus I stood one early morning.
Stood within a grove of hemlock,
Stood and looked into a schoolhouse.
Looked upon its tidy benches.
On its whitened walls and ceihug,
On its new and shiuiug bucket, '
On its new made desks there standing,
Standing there t > face the teacher
Like the soldiers do the Captain.
All without was noise and bustle,
All within was peace and quiet.
All around the room were nlackboards,
Half a dozen maps above them.
Maps so useful, made by Peitun.
All above the window banging
Garlands made of spruce and iaurel,
Made so neat by maiden fingers.
On the teacher's desk was standing
One boquet of latest flowers—
Some Chrysanthemums, they call them,
Htaud beside the Holy Bible.
Then I heard a modest tingle,
And two score of youths and maidens
Came within, so bright and cheerful.
Doffed their hats and said-good morning,"
Took their seats, remaining quiet
While the teacher read a chapter;
When again I heard a tingle,
AH arose aiul sang so sweetly.
Then the teacher offered prayer.
And a voice within me whispered,
"Here the youthful mind is growing."
Now, the morning service over,
Each one busy at his lessons.
TIMOTHY SHORTFELLOW. j
Ihe first scene was suggested to the wri j
ter on beholding an old and blackened
schoolhouse standing in a line grove of
hemlock. Ihe part in rhyme is intended
to show the error and cruelty of parents ;
who send their children to school too young,
taking them from the fields and flowers,
birds and fresh air, and shutting them up
in a monotonous schoolroom, filling their ,
lungs with foul air, stinting their limbs for
want of exercise, and laying burdens on
their minds which will leave their evil ef
fects upon them forever. We contend
that a child should not he sent to school
until six or seven years of age. The i
strength of mind and body then acquired
would enable them to far outstrip those j
who commenced to study several years be
fore.
The second scene was suggested on be
holding the same schoolhouse some time
afterward when a five teacher had whiten- J
ed everything into neatness and order as j
described ab. ve.

Reading.
Rooks! hooks ' There is nothing to my
eye which preseuts a scene so enchanting j
as a collection of valuable hooks. I can
not look up >n a good hook as so many pa !
ges hound in call, Ac., hut almost the same j
sucrcdness surrounds them that would the !
souls, without the bodies, of their authors
It is scarcely possible to prize too highly j
the power which enables us to hold com
uiuuion with mighty geniuses and choice ;
spirits, the wise, the good, the great of all j
the past.
Every teacher especially should be an ;
ample reader. Conversation may he more i
animated in that it gives the music of the !
voice and the ever varying expression of j
tlie eye and the " human face divine," hut
how greatly is this want made up j
greater wealth of (bought obtained from
reading : both it is true are needful. Con- j
versation, as 'tis said, makes a ready man, I
but reading alone makes a full man, anil j
who needs more to be full than the teacher, I
whose stock of knowledge is so constantly I
drawn upon ? The pure living stream no !
longer reireshes the thirsty soul than its j
sources are replenished from God's great i
reservoir. Let the supplies be stopped and i
the flowing waters will cease, leaving be- |
hind them a dry channel, or collect in
stagnant pools, devoid of all their life giv
ing sweetness.
A teacher who would keep up his stock
ol knowledge must read, and read exten
sively. But what and how should they
read —should they conform to a " system
atic reading?" I conceive the human
mind a thing too lree and noble in its nat
ural impulsive boundings to work always
in the same stiff and tightly drawn laces,
like a cart horse; therefore they should read
when they felt like it. It is true, and the
fact cannot be concealed, that what is read
lor the mere pleasure of it, is often more
fruitful iu direct practical results than spe
cial efforts. Let it not be understood that
we depreciate special study, to which every
good teacher must give a reasonable amount
of attention, in order to secure a continued
and symmetrical intellectual growth, but
the mind should drink from the fair foun
tain of knowledge when thirsty, just as we
do at nature's limpid streams. A teacher
should read everything that is fit to read,
for within the whole range of literature
there is scarcely anything, if rightly con
sidered, which may not furnish him with
valuable material for instruction.

MIMELMMfiOIIS,
Daguerreotypes.
Just about dusk one evening a boy,
dressed in homespun, of the peculiar lea
| ther color and style, familiar to us all, with
broad brimmed black hat aud long hair—
of that laborious ela.-s whose dress has not
varied for centuries, and is the same on the
wee toddling babe, through youth and man
! hood to the grey bearded sire, " who mars
not the manner of his beard," it knows no
1 variance or shadow of turning—came into
a photograph gallery and asked whether
j they "took pictures here ?" "Yes." "Can
! you take mine now?" "No, it is too late.
You must come earlier in the day when
| the sun shines." He looked somewhat
j surprised, while the well bred artist, with
| out a symptom of a smile, assured him that
!he must come while the sun shines. Per
haps it would have surprised him more had
lie been told that his picture would be ta
i ken by the same process which his gran
: dame bieaehed her snowy linen in the mea
| duw. A careless bystander might have
| laughed—a town boy would, sure, yet the
majority of us would have little reason. —

Dagueire was a French painter. While
painting panoramas he conceived the idea
of heightening the effect by throwing col
ored lights and shadows on them, produ
cing the effects of the changes of day and
the seasons called diorama. He was leu to
the discovery of fixing on prepared metal
lie p utes images of objects thrown upon
them by the lens of the camera obseura.
It was observed that chloride of silver
blackens in the sun though white as snow
when first prepared. So other subjects
were observed to change by the chemical
action of the sun. The process of Da
guirre is thus simply described. A tablet
of silver plated copper is carefully cleaned
with pomice or other powder. The tablet
is exposed to a vapor of iodine until it be
comes a pure yellow, and with a careful
exclusion of light it is deposited in the
camera, and receives the impression of the
rays of light coming lroin the object only,
all other being excluded. Light coming
frotu the sun lulling on a surface not trans
parent is reflected and carried back to the
eye and gives you sight of the object, with
its lights n i shades according to its reflec
tion. These reflected rays from one body
passing through the tube of the camera, all
others excluded except from the back
ground, acting chemically on the prepared
plate, make the image
When removed to a darkened room and
dipped in hyposulphate of soda, washed
with water, it becomes insensible to fur
ther action of light The calotype invent
ed by Mr. Talbot in England about the
same time, was by covering a piece of pa
per w th a changeable salt of silver, ex
posing it in the camera, and developing the
image by a solution of galic acid. It gave
what is called the negative, that is, in the
negatives the lights and shadows answer
respectively to the shadows and lights of
the object; while in the positive the lights
correspond to the lights and the shadows
to the shadows.
The daguerreotype has a superiority over
any process yet presented. The features
are exquisitely defined and there is a min
uteness of detail and life like appearance
not otherwise attainable. This is because
it is taken on hard metallic mathematical
plate. Paper on which photographs are
taken diffuses and the diffcnence is as the
difference between writing on blotting and
on writing paper — MijfliuLary Telegraph.

Sad Accident. —Charles K., a young
•<on of Rev. Dr. Johnson, was killed on a
car about half past two o'clock yesterday
afternoon. It appears that the lad was
standing in a freight car, with his bead
out of the side door, looking back, and as
the car was running in on the siding at
Mr. lloffer's coal yard, one end of the
door struck a post protruding over the
track, forcibly closing it and crushing the
skull of the youth most horribly. His
death followed immediately.— Car/iiU

service two years during the present war and
been honorably discharged.
Especially civil officers, clergymen, and all
prominent citizens are invited to appear at
ail times before the Board to point out errors
] in the lists, and to give such information in
1 their possession as may aid in the correction
1 aud revision thereof
They should understand that it is plainly
for the interest of ea h sub district to have
j stricken from the lists all Dames improperly
enrolled, because an excess of names increases
I the quota called for from each sub district;
: aud that it is equally for the interest of each
person enrolled in a given sub district, to
place upon the lists all persons in thesubdis
trict liable to do military duty, because the
greater the number to be drawn from, the
less the chance that any particular individual
will be drawn. It is the personal interest of
; every enrolled man that the quota in which
j he is concerned shall not be mad • too large,
j and that his own chances for draft shall not
j be unjustly increased ; both these objects will
be attained if all parties will aid in striking
out the wrong names and putting in the right
ones. Especially is this the interest of those
drafted men who by putting in substitutes
themselves liable to draft, have secured ex
emption which by the terms of the law holds
good only until the present enrollment is ex
hausted in their sub districts Men who are
over 4-5 yeors of age, and in consequence ex
cused by law from the performance of duty
in toe field, owe it to the cause and the coun
try to take a zealous and active part in the
correction of tiie enrolment lists, a military
service of the first importance. The law re- •
quires that the quotas shall be assigned in
proportion to the enrolment, and the fairness
j and justice of this mode of determining tbe
1 amount of military service due from each and
every section of the country cannot be doubt
ed if the enrolment is made as nearly perfect
as it is practicable to make it. The amount
I of service due to the nation from every town
or county, is thus laid fairly and plainly be
: fore the citizens, and it is expected that a
higher motive than a selfish interest will
prompt all to do their share in perfecting tbe
i enrolment and securing a just and efficient
execution of the laws for raising troops, wher
; ever it becomes necessary to apply them.
