SEYMOUR. ‘‘The school ma'am's coming, the school ma’am’s coming,” shouted a dozen voices, at the clbse of a half hour's faithful wajch to catch a glimpse of otir teacher. Every eye was turned toward her with the most scrutinizing glance—for the children as well as others always form an opinion of a person, particularly of their teacher, at first sight. “ How tall she is!" exclaimed one. ‘‘Oh, don’t she look sweet.-'" cried another. “110, I ain’t afraid of her, nor a dozen like her," cried the “hig boy' 1 of the school. “Nor I either,’’ cried the big boy’s, ally,” “ I could lick her easy enough, could nt you, Tom ?” “ Yes, and I will, too, ii she goes to touch me.” “Hush,” cried one of the girls, “she will hear you.” By this time she had nearly reached the door, round which we were clustered, and every' eye was fixed upon her face with an eager, yet half bashful gaze, uncertain, as yet, what verdict to pass upon her. I “ Good morning, children," she said, in the kind est voice in jhe world, while her face was lighted with the sw-eetest smile imaginable. “This is a beautilul morning to commence school, is it not?" “ 1 know.l shall love her,” whispered a little pet in my ear. We all followed her into the school room, but Tom Jones and his ally, who waited until the rest were seated, and then came in with a swaggering, noisy gait, and a sort of dare-devil saucy look, us much as to say, “ who cares for you?'’ AJiss Westcott looked at them kindly, but ap peared not to notice them further; after a short prayer and reading a chapter in the Bible-, she passed round the room, and made some inquiry of each one in regard to themselves and their studies., “And what is your name?" she asked, laying her hand upon Tom s head, while he set wittahis hands in his pockets, swigging his feet backwtmls and forwards. “Tom Jones," shouted he at the top ot his voice. “ How old are you, Thomas?’’ she asked. “Just as old agin as half,’’ answered Tom, with a saucy laugh. “ What do you study, Thomas V' “ Nothing.’’ “ What books have you * ' - "None." Without appearing to be at all disturbed by his replies, Miss Westcott said, “ I am glad I have one or two large boys in my scho >1; you can be of great assistance to me, Thomas, and if you will stop a tew minutes after school this afternoon, we will talk over a little plan I have formed. This was a mystery to all,-and particularly to Tom, who could nut comprehend how he could be useful to any one, and for* the lirst time in his life he felt that he was of some importance in the world. He had had no home training; no one ever .told him that he could be ot any use or do any good in the world. No one loved him and of course he loved no one, but was one of, those who believed that he had got to bully his way through the world. He had always been called the “ bad boy” at school, and he took a sort of pride and pleasure in being feared by the children and dread ed by the teacher. Miss Westcott at once comprehended his whole character, and began to shape her plans according ly. She maintained that a boy, who at 12 years old made himself feared among his school-fellows, was capable ot being made something of. Hereto fore all influence had conspired to make him bad* and perhaps a desperate character ; she was deter mined to transform his character by bringing op posite influences to work upon him, and to effect this, she must first gain his confidence, which could not be done in a better way than making him feel that she placed confidence in him. When school was outsnore than half the schol ars lingered about the door, wondering what Miss Westcott could be going to say to Tom Jones. He had often been bid to remain after school, but it was always to receive a punishment or severe lec ture, and nine times out of ten he would jump out ot the window before half the scholars were out ot the room ; but it was evidently for a different pur pose that he was to remain now, and no one won dered what it could be more than Tom Jones. “Don’t you think, Thomas, that our school room would be a great deal pleasanter if we had some evergreens to hang around it; something to make it cheerful?* inquired Miss Westcott. “ Yes m, and 1 know where I can get plenty of them. 7 ’ “Well, Thomas, if you will have some here by eight h clock to morrow morning, I will be here to help you to put them up, and we will give the children a pleasant surprise.; and here are some books I will give you, Thomas; you may put them in your own drawer, they are what 1 want you to study.” . ‘‘ But I can't study geography and history,” ex claimed Tom,’confused, “I never did.” “That is the reason why you think fcfa cannot,” replied Miss Westcott. “I am quite sure you can, and you will love them I know.” “Nobody ever cai%i whether I learned anything or not before,” said Tom, with some emotion. “ Well, I care/’ said Miss Westcott, with earnest ness, “ you are capable of becoming a grand and good man; you are.now forming your character for life, and it depends upon yourself what you be -come. poorest boy in this country has an equal chance with the wealthiest, and his circum stances are more favorable for becoming eminent, for he learns to depend upon himself. I will assist you all | can in your studies, Thomas, and I know you will succeed; remember that I am your friend and come - to *me in ; every difficulty.” Tom Jones had not been brought up, he had come up because he had been bom into the world and could nt help it; but as lor any mental or moral training, he wa&as fruitless of it as a wild bramble brush of a pruning-knile. His father was an intemperate, bad man, and his mother was a totally inefficient woman. At home lie received nothing but blows, and abroad nothing but abuse. His bad passions were therefore all excited and fostered; and his good ones were never called out. He always expected that his teachers would hate him, so he whetted anew his combative powers to oppose them, and he had made up his mind to turn the “new school ma’am’’ out of doors. When, therefore, Miss Westcott declared that she was glad to have.him in her school, he was amazed; and that she should manifest such an interest in him. and give him a set of new books, was perfectly in comprehensible to him. Miss Westcott understood his position and character, and determined to mod ify .them. She felt that he was equally capable of good and bad actions, though the had now predom inated. She knew that his active mind must be busy ; one might as well think of chaining the lightning as bending down by force that wild spirit to his hooks. She would give him employment, but such as would call out a new set of ideas and thoughts. He must feel that he was doing good to others and for other’s sake, and that be was not guided alone by his own wayward will, and yet there must be no appearance of restraint upon him. he must choose to do good. Tom Jones went home that night with a new feeling in his breast; for the first time in bis life he felt that he was capable of'rising above bis present condition, and becoming something greater and better than he then was. His mind became inundated with new and strange emotions, and like a mighty river turned from its course, his thoughts and encigies from that hour sought a new direction. The next morning he was up with the dawn, and when Miss Westcott. arrived at the school house she found Tom Jones there with his ever-, greens. Foi the Intelligencer. “ Good morning, Thomas,” she said kindly, “and so you are here before me; you must have risen early, and have found some beautiful evergreens and now if you will help me hang them, we will have all the room arranged by nine o’clock.”* “ have brought a hammer and some nails,” said Tom. “I thought we should need some.” •‘Yes, so we shall; I am glad you thought of it,’ replied Miss Westcott. That day every scholar looked amazed to see Tom Jones actually studying his book, and to hear him answer several questions correctly, and they were still more confounded, when at recess Miss Westcott said “ Thomas, you will take care of these little chil dren, will you not, and see that they do not get hurt? You must be their protector.” One would have as soon thought of setting a wolf to guard a flock of lambs, as Thomas Jones to take care of the little children. “Well,” exclaimed Sam Evans, “ I never saw such a* school ma’am in all the days of my life/ did you Tom'?” a 7° “No,” replied Tom, “but I wish I had, and, 1 would have been a different boy from what/l am now, but I am going to study now, and learn some thing. Miss Westcott says I can, and I4m deter mined to try.” I was astonished to observe the effect that Miss Westcott's treatment of Tom had upon the schol ars; they began to consider him of some import ance, and to feel a sort of respect for him which they manifested, first by dropping the nickname Tom, arid substituting Tommy, which revealed certainly a more kindly feeling towards him. In less than a week, Miss Westcott had the school completely under control, yet it was by love and respect that she governed, and not by any iron rule she moved among her scholars a very queen, and yet she so gained their confidence and esteem, that it did not seem to them submission to another's will, but the promptings of their own desire to please. One glance } of her dark eye would have quelled an insurrection, and one smile made them happy for a day. J.ulia Westcott taught school with a realization of the responsibilities' resting upon her, and she bent her energies to fulfil them. Carefully and skillfully she unlocked the soul’s door and gave a searching glance within, in order to understand its abilities, and then shaped her couree according ly. The‘desponding and inactive she encouraged; the obstinate she subdued; to the yielding and fickle she taught a strong self-reliance. She en couraged the one rain drop to do all the good it could, and the rushing torrent she turned where it would fertilize, rather than devastate. There are in every school some dormant energies, which it aroused, might shake the world. There are emotions and passions, which if let loose, will, like the lightnings of the heaven, scatter ruin and blight, but it controlled, may like the element be come the messenger of thoughts to theferorld. In that head you call dull, may lie slumbering passions like some pent up volcano ; open that closed crater, and see if there do not belch forth flames which your own hand cannot stop. *•**«.*« Julia Westcott understood human nature. She made it a study, as every teacher ought to do. She rooted out error and prejudice from the minds ot her pupils, showed them the evil of sin and beanty of virtue, the advantages of education, and the con sequences of ignorance; taught them their own capabilities and responsibilities, and she adapted her instructions to capacities and necessities. And thus she went on. year alter year, scattering.gooJ seed into good ground, and she reaped an abundant harvest. From many a happy home and high place come a blessing upon her, and there is no one who breathes her name with greater reverence, or remembers her with more grateful affection, than “ Tom Jones,” who has filled with ability one of the highest judicial offices in the Union, and who freely acknowledges that he owes his present character and position entirely to her treatment ami instructions. - Truly, “he that goeth forth weeping, bearing precious seed, shall come again rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” The Deacon’s Hymn Book. Old Deacon H. was one of the best men we ever knew. He had been deacon in the church for ma ny years, and, unless prevented by sickness or very bad weather, never allowed his seat to remain va cant. His wile had been dead for years, and he was left with two boys—Joe and Sam—who, at the time we speak of, were respectively fourteen and sixteen, and ripe for. any kind of mischief— They were in all sorts oft ugly scrapes, and kept the good old falher in continual trouble. Believing firmly in that passage of Proverbs, which says ° “Spare not the rod and spoil the child,” he never failed to lay it on thick, but without effect; for not withstanding these oft repeated flagellations, they \vere acknowledged to be the worst boys in all the village. Among other things, Joe was very fond of practical joking, and loved particularly to play off his jokes on the old man. In these affairs he w’&s always assisted by Sam; and Joe would, in a majority of cases, manage to get the young scamp between him and the consequences. For years the deacon had worn a black cloth coat to church every Sunday, and.in the pocket of said coat there was regularly kept a hymn book, which, after being tsed on the Sabbath, was allow ed to remain in a the pocket during the week. This was well known to Joe, who was resolved to have a joke at his father’s expense. The coat hung on a peg behind the door, 'and he took occasion one day, during the old man’s absence, to remove the hymn book and place in its stead a pack of cards which were gbout the same size. Now it happen ed that Deacon H. was the only man in the whole congregation who could raise the tunes, and as he was the oldest deacon, he had a seat immediately under the pulpit, in plain view' ofthe congregation. The next Sunday he put on his coat, felt the hymn book (as he thought) all safe, went to ; the church, and took his usual seat. The minister a s*ve out the hymn, and a dead pause ensued. he w “ole congregation turned their eyes on the deacon to see why he did not start the tune. What was their surprise to see in his hands, instead of his hymn book, a pack of cards! The young ones laughed, the old ones looked grave, while one of maiden ladies exclaimed in a rather loud tone, •who d a thought it! ’ Bin how acted the deacon ? i oor man as much conlused as any one—he drop ped the cards, seized his hat, and rushed from the house as fast as his legs could carry him. The next day he was called before the church to have the matter satisfactorily explained. Joe got thoroughly drubbed, (he could’nt get Sam into that scrape,) and never after did the good old deacon start to church until he was certaiin that it was his hymn book, and not a pack of cards, he carried'in h|s pocket. “ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.»-B TO HA»i*. CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 30, 1850. SPARKIN’ A GAL; Or, Love an 9 Bolt Dogs. They do say that gals is a leetle contrary, but ’taint so. They may act a leetle baulky sometimes, but then arter all they like a feller well enuff— ’Taint gal fashion to tell o’nt rite off; they re a sort o’ turkey buzzard, they'll peck around*for a spell, then all to onst they’ll gite up an’ nab a fel ler, I've had considerable ’speariance in that line, an’ 1 know a leetle sumthing 'bout it. Now, I've courted a darn many gals in my life, an’ perhaps more.. The Just gal that ever I went to see was Nancy Newlett. Sweet Sissily! she was a scrouger. If a teller should see her once, he'd melt sure. There was sumthing scrumshus ’bout that gal, that made me love her mor'n I could pick up chips for a week. Many an’ many’s the time I've took that gal to meetin’. All the other fellers would look at us, as tho they’d like to mix in : but ’twarnt to be did! I iwan to man if I ever ketched a feller a winkin’ at my gal, I’d knock him blue’rn a jay bird. One Sunday that gal axed me to come an' see her, when the old folks warn't to hum. Jehu ! I d go if Beelzy bub stood in the door. Sunday come, an’ I put on roy best rig, rubbed ’bout a ponnd o’ taller candles an’ a quart o* goose grease in my hair, an’ off I started, whistlin’ Yankee Doodle, an’ prouder'n old Zack Taylor at Bony Yisty. I got thar an’ there warn’t a soul to hum ’cept Ike, her little brother. Well, I warn't to be skeerc by trundle-bed trash, so 1 took a char an 5 sot down ’bout a rod from Nance. I felt all over as queerish as a hen with her head off. She looked at me an’ I blushed so that I felt the grease run down my back a perfect stream. We sot rhar ’bout an 'hou/ ’thout sayirs’ a word. By-and-by she broke out/ “ Is thar any news up your way?” says she: “ No,” says I, “not as I knows on. Ob|4h, yes,. Suke Wakefield’s got married, an* run cdPvvith the tea-spoons an’ a pot o’ plum sass.” / “ Anything else ?” says she'.’ / “ Yes,” says I. / “ What?” says she. / “ Why one o’ our male-kittens got her head into the lasses-cup, an’ when her out the young ’uns got hold on her an’licked her to death.” “ Anythin’ else?” / “ I believe not,” sa/s I. “ Won’t’ you sebup near the fire ?” says she. • “ I don’t care/if I do,” says I. So I closer. She commenced a laffin’. Trowsers ajr coff-candy ! I could’nt stan’ it no lon •ger, so I test up and gin her a kiss—maple molass es! if ar feller could only spread sich things on a chunkro’ shprt cake! Arter a while the old folks come home an’ axed me to stay to supper, so I staid. Well, to cit a /long yarn short, I concluded to stay all night. So arter talkin’ to the old man a spell ’bout harvestin’ an’ the like, I bid all hands good night an’ started for roost. ’Twas ’way up in the cock-loft, whar 1 could look through the rafters an’ see stars. So arter skarein’ a couple o’ cats off o’ the ruff that was a mewin’, I luffed into my nest, an’ 'twarnt long afore I was a snorein’ like a roach. I slept all night till nigh on to mornin’, when I heard the darndest racket that ever was. So I tho't I’d jist git up an’ take a survey, an’ see what on airth was the mattery Jest as I was gittin’ out o’ bed, my shirt somehow or other got over the bed post, the bead-boar’d came out, I slipped an’ fell head down wards. 1 tho to’ Captain Kidd, Abysylom, an’ all other unfortunate beins what got hung, but they had a consolation what I had'nt got—they hung right end up. I began to say the Lord's prayer as loud as I could holler, when I heerd that gaul-darn noise agin, an’ I looked—crippled creashun, an’ Tom Walker! when I think on't, ’tis enuff to make me kick ray old blind grandaddy from here to king dom come, an’ from there to the salt-works. I hope I may be scorched if thar warn’t the old man’s New foundland dogs had my trowsers in thar jaws, one holt o’ one leg, an’ the other a pullin’ on ’em, an’ tearin’ ’em up the crotch—net satinetts, cost me twenty York shillins—it’s a fact! What did I dew, then? you’ll ask. Why I was thunderstruck with the cussed dogs’ imperdence, so I jest concluded to come down. I gin one jerk an’ down I come, flat on the floor, ’thout a darned rag on me ’ceptin a sleeve o’ my shert; the rest hung to the bed post. Arter I’se down, I darsent to go near the dogs, for I se-afeerd they’d put their dental arrangements in my runnin’ beams. The next minut I heerd the old man a cornin’ up stairs with a pitchfork, a thinkin’ there was robbers or a dromedary tryin’ to set file to the house—so I tho't ’twas time to marvel. I eyed them are cussed brutes, an’ then, “ With Tarquin’a ravishin’ strides towards his de sign I moved like a ghost,” grasps a sheet, raps it around me, jumps out’n a tew story winder on a shed, an’ Irom tbar to the ground, an’ skeeted quicker’n a streak o’ lightnin’ thio’ a pertater patch. I never went to see Nance arter that. In con clusion I would say to all fellers what’s a goin’ “to sparkin',” to find out whether ther’s any bone hun ters ’bout the premises; if thar aint why buck right up an’ don’t be skeert, but if thar is, turn your heel an’— travel. A Card Party. It is related of Madame du Deffan, that three ot her friends brought a card table to her bedside, at her request in her last illness, she taking a hand. As she happened to die -in the midst of an interest ing game, her partner played dummy for her, and thus the thiee quietly played it out, and settled the stakes before they called the servants to notify them of the very important demise of their mistress. Shocking as is this incident, it is trivial in compar ison with one which is said to have occurred at Albany many years since. There was at that time a low eaved, peak-rooted, stone built inn, situated in the upper part of the city, known as the“Colonie;” a place much frequented by Schenectady teamsters and Mohawk boatmen, before the completion of Clinton’s grand canal had caused that dissipated mongrel race to be superseded in their At this inn one day a manby the name ot Derrick Helfenstein, better known as “Dirk Hell of German Flats,” had been seized with convulsions amid a drunken frolic, and expired during the fit, with his limbs all twisted and kffofted together by the fierce muscular action incident t 6 his disease. In Albany, at that time, the Dutch custom of several friends of the deceased Remaining all night in the same room with the body, and keeping their vigil until the moment of interment, was always strictly ob served; coffee, and mulled wine, with dote, or dead cakes, and other refreshments, being generally pro vided by the nearest relatives to cheer the gloomy duty of the watchers. Dirk Hell (or Hell-dirk, as he was quite as often called) though a wretched vagabond, had still some whom he called friends, among the reckless gambling crew with whom he chiefly associated; and as the landlord ol the inn where he died could no; well refuse the customary refreshment of liquor upon an occasion like this three idle hangers-on or the establishment readily consented, to honor the obsequies ot Dirk by the usual vigil. The dead man in the mean time was duly laid out; but the distorted shape which his body had assumed in the death agony, made it nec essary to use great force in straightening out the corpse, and recourse was had to cords to bind down his limbs to the decent form it was desirable they should assume. The disagreeable task being ac complished, the three friends of the gambler, when night came on, took possession of the apartment where he was laid out. With characteristic reck lessness, they had brought a pack of cards into the chamber of death, and after taking a glass of liquor all round, and drinking the memory of their com rade with some unfeeling allusion to his sudden fate the three profligates sat down to a game of cards upon the foot of his bed. Four hands were then dealt, that of “dummy” falling almost upon the feet of the corpse, and the other three upon the op posite sides and extreme end of the bed around which the players were thus arranged. The game proceeded apparently to the satisfaction of all par ties—each of them by turns playing the hand of “dummy” until drinking and gambling had carried them deep into the middle watches of the night. Some slight dispute, occurred, as to who should play the next dummy. Words waxed high, and the two opposite players both attempted to seize upon the vacant hand at the same time, while the third, impatient at the contention, exclaimed— “l wish that Hell-dirk would spring up and take the cards from both of you!” The wretch had hardly uttered the wish, before the cords that bound the corpse gave way with a sharp crackiiig noise, the struggle about the feet having probably disarranged them—and the distort- ed body, released from its ligatures, bounded for ward in resuming the form under which life had left it, and seated itself upon its haunches with the knees drawn up to its chin, arms akimbo, and hid eously distended jaws, in the midst of the appalled and disconcerted trio. The three worthies were said never to have played a game of .cards after that night. OT'The attempt to light Schenectady with red headed girls has been abandoned. BUSiI!VESS NOTIKGS.
