MARY’S AWAY
Spring hath returned once more, Mary,
To deck the earth in green ;
Cold winter’s reign is o’er, Mary,
He’s vanished from the scene;
All Nature’s aspect seemeth glad,
Where’er I roam or stray —
But, oh ! this breast of mine is sad,
*" For Mary is away.
I’ve watched and waited.long, Mary,
For thee I loved so dear;
I’ve listened for thy song, Mary,
Through many a weary year ;
But she whom I bo much adore,
Has left me now for aye ;
That voice I’m doomed to hear no more,
Now Mary is away.
Yet time keeps gliding on, Mary,
The seasons come and go,
And here I linger on, Mary,
A prey to grief and wo;
Though once sweet happiness did seem
To bless me day by day;
Alas ! mine was a fleeting dream,
For Mary is away.
Oh ! whither hast thou gone, Mary 7
hast thou left me here 7
Deserted and alone, Mary,—
Oh ! why art thou not near 7
Oh! broken now is every vow,
My mind’s to grief a prey,
And peace and I are strangers now,
For Mary is away.
Vocal Music in Germany—How
Taught.
BY WM. 11. BRADBURY.
Vocal music is, in Germany,deemed of such im
portance to all classes that, for generations, it has
been, introduced by Government as a prominent
-branch of popular education. The child enters
school at the age of eight years, and remains in the
same school until fourteen or fifteen. No parent is
allowed to remove a child from one school to an
other, (unless a change of location renders such re
moval necessary,) under a heavy penalty. Com
modious, convenient and pleasant school houses,
and thoroughly qualified teachers in all the respec
tive departments being provided, there is no other
reason for removal than a change of residence. The
advantages of remaining in thp same scho'ol and
under the same instructors are very 7 great, and will
readily suggest themselves to the minds of all
friends of education, whether parents, teachers or
school committees. One of these advantages is the
opportunity afforded to the teachers of studying and
becoming thoroughly acquainted with the natural
disposition, temperament, talent, or turn of mind of
the pupil. This. I almost ev
ery thing else, and is the corner stone of a thorough
and useful education, both mental and moral.
There seems to be three paramount reasons for
making music .a branch of school education in Ger
many a'rd Switzerland. Ist. Its power, as a direct
means of mental and moral discipline. 2nd, Its at
tractiveness as an amusement or relaxation from
laborious study. 3d, Its advantages in after life to
the pupil, both as a social and religious being. In
all of these particulars it is cousidered of great im
portance; and in t.ie best schools I have visited,
viz; those of Leipzig and Dresden in Saxony, and
Zurich and Berne in Switzerland, the popular course
has been to adapt each music lesson to one or the
other or all of these branches. To be more explicit.
The music teacher either gives at one season of the
year his particular attention to instruction in the
elements of music and music reading: at another
to rehearsal or singing for relaxation or amusement;
and at another to practising the music of the church;
or else, as is more generally the case, he combines
tbe three departments in one, and each lesson has
its proportionate share, viz: Ist, practice of the
music of the church, (choral singing:) 2d, instruc
tion in musical notation; 3d, singing of cheerful
and lively juvenile songs, for recreation. This ar
rangement pleased me much. It affords great va
riety and does not becoms tiresome to the pupils.
The pupils begin to study note singing at the
age of nine or ten years. Previous to that they
sing chiefly or entirely by rote. This is considered
advantageous until the musical ear is sufficiently
trained and cultivated. The scale is first presented
to the pupil, not by sight but by sound. The teach
er sings it slowly and distinctly till all seem to
understand, or at least to get some idea of its con
struction, and of the comparative relation of sounds,
one to another.
After explaining something ot the formation of
the scale, its intervals, Ac., the teacher writes it
upon the black-board, or calls their attention to it
in the book, observing particularly the situation of
the semi-tones. He now tells them that these
characters (the notes) represent the sounds they
have' just sung, and that each sound has a name
taken lrom one of the letters of the alphabet. This
method is very thorough, although somewhat
lengthy. The pupils sing almost entirely from
books, the black-board being used merely lor illus
tration. The more advanced, classes of pupils are
improved by the frequent introduction and regular
practice of new and interesting music, rather than
by dry and unconnected exercises. Much time is
spent in the best schools, in practising the vowels,
merely articulating them for the purpose of obtain
ing a good delivery, both in singing and speaking.
But one of the pleasantest features of all is that
the pupils are not wearied by too hard study, or if
they become a little fatigued at any time, they
know that some delightful recreation is to follow.
Variety and entertainment are mingled with in
struction* and the pleasure of halt an hour's social
singing is a sufficient reward for persevering in any
of the more laborious and less interesting exercises.
I'was much amused and delighted, on one occasion,
to see the young countenances beam with a, smile
of approbation, amounting to “1 thank yqu, sir,’ :
when the teacher, after a lesson of close Elementary
study, said, “Now we'll sing something lively,” lor
it is natural to children to love that" rhusic best
which is most like-their own natures—light, joy
ous and free. Now they sing briskly, merrily,
heartily, because naturally. The little mill-stream,
that has so long been dammed up that it may ac
cumulate strength to drive the heavy wheel, when
once more set at liberty goes leaping, and dancing,
and singing along its sparkling way, rejoicing in
its freedom. So do these little singers pass from
the heavy and useful, but not dull choral practice
and elementary confinement, to the merry “song of
the cuckoo” and “ the lark” to the “ singer's song,"
and the “song of father’s birth day;” to the songs
of the season—of the sun, and stars,of the “beauti
ful world and the blessed giver God,” with the ever
dear and welcome songs of “ Vaterland.” These
are the daily occurrences of the “school room,” and
if you would know how such privileged children
prize their school, you have but to step in and hear
them merrily singing—
“No scene of earthly pleasure,
Happy School,
No hoard of sordid treasure,
Happy School,
Delight us now so well.
Yea, ’tie singing we do prize,
Cheerful hearts in accents rise,
Bid play farewell.”
With us in America it j s different. As a nation
we have neglected entirely this subject in our early
education, and the natural resit is that the large
proportion of our adult population cannot sing, and
thousands mourn over their loss when it is too late
or the pressure of care and busiuess prevent them
from attending to the subject. Could our school
committees, trustees and parents, be prevailed upon
to take this matter in hand, and be in earnest about
it-—if they would have it properly and on a per
manent basis introduced into the schools as a
branch of study, not of recreation merely—an in
calculable amount of good would follow. The next
generation, at all eveiits, would feel its revivifying
influences, in their social and home circles and in
the public worship of the sanctuary, and would
“rise up and call us blessed.”

A Tale of Horror.
While travelling a couple of weeks since, we
heard from the lips of a friend, one of the most
heart-rending recitals we have listened to for a«
long time. He was put off from a steamboat at
or near AVolf Island, about twenty five miles below
the mouth of the Ohio, for the purpose of collect
ing a debt from a man living about five miles back
in the country, on the Missouri.side, we think.—
With a carpet bag in his hand, he had followed a
narrow path about three miles, when he came
across a small cabin. Yet “cabin” would not des
cribe the place of habitation, for such it. proved to be.
It was a little dilapidated shed, with no boards on one
side and great crevices on the other side and in the
roof. He would have passed by it, but moans from
the inside told that it was occupied. Wishing to in
quire his road, he stopped, and stood before the
open side of the shed, and gazed upon a spectacle,
which, as he said, was present before his eyes days'
afterwards, and haunted his sleep. We describe
what he saw, as he told us, only saying that strange
as the story may seem, full reliance can be placed
upon his words.
There was not a bed or chair in the shed, but
stretched upon the' bare ground lay the body ol a
youngish looking woman who had evidently just
died. Her form was almost a perfect skeleton, yet
the face was that of a refined and beautiful woman.
On her breast lay an infant of about six months
old, with its mouth to the breast of its mother, and
dead. And sitting up in a corner of the shed, and
staring the traveller in the face with glazed eyes,
was what he thought another corpse, but life was
yet in it. The figure was that of a girl apparently
about ten years old. She could not rise to her feet,
and yet she was not sick. She was literally dying
of starvation. By the side of the woman, and
clasping her hand, lay a man covered with blood,
and apparently in a dying state. Add to this the
filth of the room and the half naked condition of
the sufferers, and we wonder not that the scene
long haunted the observer. He went in. The girl
could not speak, but the man cried “water' in a
feeble voice, and pointed to the girl as if to attract
the stranger's attention to her. The traveller, Mr.
L, of Cincinnati, hastened away, taking with him
a tin pan, and says he ntfver ran-harder in his life
than he did about half a mile to a small stream
"lie has passed. On his return, he found the man
still alive, and gave him water, which he eagerly
drank. He could then speak in a whisper. He
pointed to the girl and said—“she's starving.” Mr.
J. gave the girl some water, which appeared to
revive her, and she tried to talk, but could not.
With much difficulty he learned from the man that
there was a house about a mile distant, to which
he hurried. On his arrival there he only a
negro. While getting iome provii,ionssind hasten
ing back with the man, the latter informed him)
that the cholera had broken out in that neighbor
hood, and the family owning him had left him for
the time being. He said that the little girl of the
shed had daily made her appearance there for pro
visions until about three days back—that the man
and woman had been sick for a long time, &c. On
their return the man was dying, and lived but an
hour. The little girl was revived by food, and be
lore they took her away, could talk* She said she
had been sick herself and could not walk to the
•'house for food, and that her mother died the day
previous, and the baby about the same time—and j
that her father had tried to kill himself when they j
died. It was horrid. The child was taken to the I
, house, and the rest of the unfortunate family buried.'
The child afterwards stated her name was Alary
Williams, and Mr. J. thought, from what he could
gather, the family had formerly lived>in New
Albany, but in what New Albany he could not
ascertain, more than a/the child said, there were a
great many houses there, and it was evidently New .
Albany, N. Y. The negro said the family had been j
there several weeks, and came directly after his'
master had left. As there was not a family in the
neighborhood, the person having also gone whom
Mr. J. wished to see, the girl, who was sick and'
exhausted, was leit with the negro, who promised
faithfully to attend her. Yet there were but little
hopes of her recovery. It lid's never been our mis- 1
fortune to hear a more horrible tale of reality than •
this. —Evansville Paper. . 1
Truth Stranger than Fiction
The Palis correspondent of St. Louis Republican,
relates the following:
A young man recently made his escape from the
galleys at Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous,
and soon made his way across the country and es
caped pursuit. He arrived the next morning before
a cottage in an open field, and stopped to beg some
thing to eat and concealment while he reposed a
little. But he found the inmates ot the cottage in
the greatest distils. I Four little childrStyisat
trembling in a corker, 7 their mother was weeping
and tearing her and the father walking the
floor in agony. The galley slave asked what was
the matter, and the father replied that they were
that morning to be turned out of doors, because
they could not pay their rent. “ You see me driven
to despair,” said the father, “my wile and children
without food or shelter, and without means to pro
vide any for them." The convict listened to this
tale with tears of sympathy, and then said :
“I will give you the means. I have but just
escaped from the galleyswhoever secures and
takes bdek an escaped prisoner is entitled to a re
ward of fitty francs. How much does your rent
amount to ?”
“ Forty francs,” answered the father.
“ Well, said the other, w put a cord around my
body; I will follow you to the city, they will
recognise me, and you will get fifty francs for
bringing me back. “No, never!” exclaimed the
astonished listener, “my children should starve a
dozen times before I would do so base a thing.”
The generous young man insisted and declared
at last that he would go and give himself up, if
the father would not consent to take him. After a
long struggle the latter yielded, and taking his
preserver by the arm, led him to the city and to
the mayor s office. Every body was surprised that
a-little man like the father had been able to capture
such a strong young fellow, but the proof was before
them ; the fitly trancs were paid and the prisoner
sent back to the galleys. Bub after he was gone,
the father asked a private interview of the mayor,
to whom he told the whole story. The mayor was
so much affected that he not only added fifty francs
moie to the father s purse, but wrote immediately
to the minister of justice, begging the noble young
prisoner's release. 1 The minister examined into the
affair, and finding that it was comparatively a small
offence which condemned the> young man to the
galleys, and that he had already served out half
his time, he ordered his release. Is not the whole
incident beautiful ?
Caught in the Act.
We saw a funny spectacle the other day. A
dozen of omnibuses, with their live freight were
about starting on a pic-nic, when a young woman
ran hastily up and said to a gentleman of the party,
who had just seated himself cosily by the side of a
pretty girl:
“ s ‘ r i I want to know what right you have
to be going on pic-nics, and your wife and child at
home?”
. “Hush Maiy,” whispered the gentleman, hastily
getting out of the omnibus, “ hush the people will
hear you.”
“Who cares if they do ? Why didn't you think
of the people, or of me or your child, instead of
running off to picnics with other women l ’
“ Well—there—now— don’t—”
“ But 1 will though ! And for you, Miss, if you
ever dare to look at my husband again I'll ”
“I don't look at him, ma’am,” tremblingly re-"
plied the poor girl; “.I though he was a single
man when he asked me to go on a pic-nic with

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1850.
Cliasing a Doctor.
In a little village in Western Illinois, there resi
ded a very worthy, very, knock-kneed, very timid
son of Esculapius, (who shall be nameless, lest he
might chance to see himself figuring as tbe hero of
this little sketch,) whose “pretty considerable prac
tice,” as he said himself, kept him everlastingly
trundling about in an old wreck of a buggy, drawn
by a gaunt, unhappy looking horse, with that pe
culiar cast of countenance which a hardly used
animal of his species always possesses.
The little doctor's practice was so extended, and
the farmers so thinly scattered over a large tract of
land, that “ fair or foul,” he was always on the go,
and even then could not attend to every call made
on him.
The day I write of was a drizzling, dirty, foggy
day in the Utter e'hd of March, when one could
hardly di tinguish a red house with a green door
a long rifle shot off. The little doctor was plough
ing his weary way through good eight inches of
mud, to some far distant patient') 1 along a bleak, de
serted road, leading through a thick heavy wood,
or grove, as we call them here. The day was fast
verging to a ck vund the little man was sadly
ruminating upon his weary drive, when he was
startled by a hoarse call from a bypath running
around the base of a rocky knoll. The poor doctor
trembling unconsciously, drew up his horse, and
glanced fearfully around. The place had a bad
name, a pedlar having been robbed and nearly
murdered, not twenty yards from that very spot.—
Unable to move, the wretched little doctor sat gaz
ing at the place until the sudden appearance of an
ominous looking horseman, on a fiery bay mare,
coming round the knoll, gave him desperate ener
gy, and cutting his poor tired animal with the
whip, he started'off at a slashing pace.
“Hiilo! hold on there!” shouted the stranger,
increasing his speed.
“Go long, Ned! go long, old fellow!” cried the
doctor, frantically, belaboring his poor frightened
horse, who stretched manfully through the mud,
throwing the old rattle-trap of a buggy from side
to side, as it groaned and creaked most mournfully.
“Hillo!” vociferated his pursuer, more fiercely
than before.
“Go long, Ned !" gasped the doctor, redoubling
his blows, and turning his pale face, streaming
with prespiration, to see if the wretch behind was
gaining on him : he was nearer, if anything; and,
to the doctor's fear-distorted vision, was aiming a
revolver at his head. “ Good Lord, preserve me,”
groaned the miserable little man. sinking to the
bottom of the buggy to avoid the shof. ,; “Go long
there, Ned ; go long, old fellow !”
“ Hillo ! hold on !” roaied the stranger; but gal
lant old Ned kept up his swinging pace, and al
though he had entered the wood, he dashed on re
gardless of the roots and grubs which threatened,
every moment, to knock the old buggy to atoms.
A little farther on in the woods was a log cabin,
which the doctor earnestly desired to behold, and
hoped to reach in safety. Its hospitable door at
length appeared in view; the old horse needed no
check, and stopped short belore it, the little doctor
who was standing ready for a leap, was thrown
head first into a nice soft mud hole, whence he
scrambled, and bursting open the door, sprang into
the room, and sank nearly fainting into the first
chair he saw.
“What in the name of all that's airthly is the
matter 7” exclaimed the strapping mistress of the
house. “Why il Doc. an't got a fit, or somethin’
worser, I'm blessed.” At that moment the mur
derous looking horseman dashed up at the door.
“The desperate villain," muttered the poor doc
tor, springing from his seat, and diving, for the
better concealment of his person, into a large box
in the corner of the room, from whence issued a
tremendous cackling and fluttering.
The stranger entered. “ Good evening, Mrs.
Powers; is the doctor here 7”
“Yes, bless you, Mr. G., in such a fix! Oh,
Lord! he's got in atop ot my settin 1 hen, and
smashed all her eggs—the only hen, too, that's a
settin', early. I think he's crazy.”
14 1 think so, too,” said Mr. G., “ for I have been
following him for the last half hour through the
mud for a prescription, and could not get him to
stop on any terms,”
The poor, little, miserable ciest-fallen doctor
crept from his hiding place, and gave the' desired
prescription without one word; but to this day
cannot bear the sight of Mr. G., and always eyes
him askance when he meets him, with a kind of
“ keep at a distance," sir ; while Mr. G. can never
see the little doctor at home or abroad, without a
smile to the memory of the dirty fright he gave
him. —New York Spirit of the Times.

A Leap Almost Incredible. —One of the most
extraordinary feats on record was performed on
Friday evening last, by a small Sorrel Mare, be
longing to Mr. Zimmerman, Livery Stable-keeper,
in Minersville. Lebbeus Hughes, son of E. Hughes,
Esq., aged about 12 years, was riding the Mare,
w hen she became frightened and ran away with
him ; she ran up the Railroad to where it crosses
Wolf creek just above the shop of Mr. De Haven,
at which point the plank had been removed from
the Bridge for a space of about 25 feet. Here as
if fearful of attempting the leap, she stopped sud
denly for a moment, and then gathering all her en
ergies, cleared the space at a single bound. We
would hardly believe such a feat possible, had it
not been witnessed by several persons, who imme
diately measured the distance jumped, and found it
to be Uccnty seven feet! Neither horse nor rider
were injured by the wonderful exploit. —Pottsville

THE constant, unsolicited applications for Life

; The great object however of Insurance should be
SAFETY, otherwise the whole motive of Insurance
may be disappointed. Too much care cannot be
practised in the selection of an Office, with which

benefits. The premiums on life are calculated
for the fuutre; if present and perspective benefits,
therefore, are given, the result ultimately must
terminate in litigation, disappointment and ruin.—
The objects aimed at by this Company are stability
and perpetuity. The rates of premium have been
carefully prepared with reference to fluctuations.
The Cash System of payments has also been adopt
