School Commenceftlent.
The first commencement of the Public
Schools of this city took place in Fulton Hall,
on Saturday. The pupils and Teachers of the
Male and Female High Schools only, with a
number of spectators, were present in the
forenoon. The Philharmonic Society of this
city, under • the direction of Washington H.
Keffer,.were in attendance and enlivened the
proceedings with choice music throughout the
day. The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. N. A. Keyes.
George M. Kline, Esq., read the following
statement of the Common Schools of this city.
The duty has been assigned me to give a
statement of the Common Schools of the city,
and of the studies pursued in each grade. Tn
the performance of this duty it will be n ecessary
to glance, succinctly, :it the state of education,
beginning at the year 1822.
lit that time an Act of Assembly Was passed
" to provide for the education of children at
the public expense, within the city and incor
porated boroughs of the county of Lancaster."
The necessity of this legislation was explained
by the preamble; which declaiied that "experi
ence had proved that the existing legal provis
ions relative to the gratuitous education of the
poor, within the city and county of Lancaster,
had been attended with a heavy expense, while
they failed to confer correspondingadvantages."
The Act provided for the adoption and pur
suit of Lancaster's system of education, in its
most improved state, and was the first legisla
tive command, so far as this city and county
were concerned, that required the erection of
suitable school houses, at the public expense,
and the procurement of all the appliances for
the proper p conduct and maintenance of the
schools.
The sth section explained for whom this le
gislation was primarily intended. It enacted
that "the directors may admit into any public
school or schools, aii such indigent orphan chil
dren and the cl•.ildren of indigent parents to he
supported at the public expense, as they shall
deem expedient and proper." It also provided
for the admission of those children ' , whose pa
rents or guardians were in circumstances to pay
for their tuition in whole or in part."
This system had withiu.itself a distinction of
classes, which Clashed with the popular feel
ings. It neither commended itself to those
who-se means permitted them to send their
children to the ordinary pay schools, nor to
those whose poverty denied them this privilege.
To- the latter, the system was soon viewed as a
pauper system, and became particularly odious.
Some, however, availed themselves of its pro
visions.
The consequences of this odium, thwl thrown
upon the law, was easily foretold. The large
majority of those upon whom it was to confer
greater advantages than they possesseid before,
refused to avail themselves of its provisions.—
Thus the Lancasterian school had for a number
of years, a sickly existence, and the youth of
the city. permitted to spend their hours in idle
ness, in daily contact with the worst passions
and vices of a populous town, were acquiring
and forming habits, which totally unfittedthem
for the performance of the duties and responsi
bilities of maturer life.
Happily this state of things was not destined
to remain' without an effort to remove it.
In the year 1838, through the instrumentality
of a few public spirited citizens, (most or : whom,
evor since, have been connected with the direc
tory of your schools,) a law was passed, sub
mitting to a vote of the people, the adoption or
rejection of a general system of education by
Cotamon Schools.
The system was adopted; and from tbis
standpoint dates the first era of popular schools
in our city.
Schools were speedily opened—plans of or
ganization and government adopted—teachers
supplied, and all the requirements to make the
system effective diligently pursued. From year
to year, our schools profiting by all the lights
and advantages which time and experience
produce, increased in numbers and the profi
ciency of instruction.
The year 1848 witnessed the establishment
of the male and female high Schools, with
their present. plan of organization and govern
ment..
This period marks the second era in the histo
ry of our schools. '
The successful and effective operation of the
High Schools, during a period of four years,
turned the attention of the board of directors
to the improvement of the Secondary and Pri
mary Schools.
The Secondary were organized on the plan
Of the High Schools ; while the number of Pri
_fury was increased and the admission of pupils
therein limited to fifty. This was in 1852,
and marks the third era in the history of our
schools.
From the changes and improvements which
have been made, we now safely assert, that the
system of Common Schools in the city of Lan
caster, is no longer in a transition state.—
The plan of organization is thorough, and if
faithfully carried out, will accomplish all that
the most ardent friends of the system could
hope for.
True, there still are some defects; but, these
do not mar the system of the structure or ins.;
pair its usefulness. They will disappear, us
the system in its own quiet way and self pro
ducing means steadily progreses to perfectibn.
One, of the greatest obstacles, however,' to
this result, is their regular attendance of pupils
—an evil long felt and acknowledged, and al
though of late, less frequent, in the higher
grades of schools, yet, sufficiently so in all, as
at times to interfere with the proper regulation
of the schools and the harmony'of their govern
ment.
This defect is not in the school or the system.
It springs from parental indifference, to say
the least, if not from criminal neglect of duty.
The efforts of teachers and directors will ac
complish hut little, if unsustained by parental
authority and influence. And it matters not,
how well regulated a school may be—active
its board of directors or how efficient its corps
of teachers, if parents remain indifferent to the
regular attendance of their sons and daughters,
the result must be a general injury to the
schools and a most lasting injury to their off
spring.
Let parents see to this—the evil is to he
remedied by them—they can do it. They
should do it, if they would be true to them
selves and just to their household.
Believing that it is the solemn duty of the
State, if in no other, point of view, than as a
healthful police regulation, to educate the
children of the State, we do not hesitate to
proclaim the doctrine, that the wilful truancy
of pupils, confirmed in its character, incorrigi
ble and beyond parental or tutorial control,
should be declared vagrancy by law and sub
ject to punishment, for the purpose of reforma
tion.
Negleoted youthie educated vice
There are at present, in the city of L 111101.9-
ter, 29 Common Schools, with 41 Teachers.—
During the winter, or for six months, there
are two. Night schools with six teachers, mak
ing an aggregate of 81 sohools and 47 teachers,
with 1866 day scholars and 200 night scholars,
forming a total of 2086.
The day school' are divided into 'Primary
Secondary and High; and one Ifrican
p e ,There are 22 Primary schools-11 male and
11 female; 4 Secondary schools-2 male and 2
female; 2 High S'chools-1 male and 1 femalo.
In part of the city, the primary schools of
each sex, are divided into 3 grades through
each of which the pupil passes, beginning et
the lowest and then is transferred into the Sec
ondary school of the proper sex and ward. In
part of the city, there are yet only 2 grades;
but, the plan of the schools,
contemplates
three grades of Primary schools, in the whole
city, which will be perfected as soon as the
number of pupils require it. .21
Into the lowest primary school, the pupil is
admitted at six year's of age, and continues in
one or other grade of this department, till cap
able of spelling and reading with fluency, re
peating the tables, well versed in the funda
mental rules of arithmetic and writing, well
exercised in definitions and in the first princi
ples of geography.
The number of pupils is now limited to 50, in
each primary school, and hereafter this regula
tion will be rigidly adhered to. It has thus
far produced the best results.
There is only one secondary school for each
sex in the east and one in the west ward of
the city ; but, as each of these schools has
three teachers, and contains 3.divisions of pu
pils, each may be regarded as composed of
three separate schools. To each of these
schools 2 large recitation rooms are attached,
in which two of the teachers are constantly
engaged, hearing lessons and giving instruc
tion to classes, while the third maintains order
and aids study in the large hall, which contains
a separate seat for each pupil; the whole num
hey of seats in each school being 132—divided
into three divisions of 44 each, and each divi
sion into two classeS of 22 each. The pupils
pass regularly according to proficiency, from
class to class, and from division to division, till
they reach the highest, when they are transfer
red to their proper High Schools.
The branches of study are, Spelling, Read
ing, Writing, Arithmetic, Geography, Gram
mar, and the History of the United States, in
each of which they are expected to be well
'grounded before transfer to the High School.
In each High School there are three Teach
ers—one Principal and two Assistants, and
seats for 120 pupils, with oboist 100 generally
on the list.
In the male High School the Principal
gives instruction in Latin, Greek, German and
French. The Mathematical Teacher in Arith
metic, Algebra, the higher Mathematics, Book
keeping, Surveying and Mathematical Drawing.
The English Instructor in Grammar and-Geog
raphy in their higher departments, General
History, Reading, Elocution and Rhetoric.
In the female High School, the Principal
gives instruction in Latin and French to such
pupils as require it, and to the higher classes in
Mathematics and English, in their proper
branches. Ono assistant taking general charge
of the Arithmetical and Mathematical classes
and tha other in Biography, Grammar and His
tory.
One lecture each week is alio delivered to
the more advanced classes of each High
School, together, on each of the following sci
ences, by the male teachers of the school, viz:
Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, Geology, As
tronomy and Physiology. Each student is re
quired to take full notes of these lectures for
inspection by the lecturer, and to be examined
orally, on the subject of each lecture, before
the delivery of the next, in the same course.
Such is the course of instruction occcupying
to a youth of ordinary capacity and attention,
about nine years of life, or from 6 to 15 years
of age, viz - :—three in the primary, three. in
secondary and three in the high schools, and
leading from the alphabet to a degree of know
ledge, equal to all the wants of ordinary life,
or to a creditable entrance intd the highest
college in the land.
In support of this system, need we appeal to
the Fathers and Mothers of the land. Its un
ity and universality—its massive strength and
grand equality will give the impress to our na
tional character. Here, in these schools, the
youth in the most impressible period of life,
undergo that intellectual training—imbibe
those ideas and form those habits which follow
them in after years, in the stern conflicts of life
and its duties.
Let the State educate the intellect—the home
altar and the Church, with their holy teach
ings the heart—each in its appropriate sphere,
yet no one daring to invade the sanctuary of
tho other—both having their high purposes in
human destiny to a,eompu.ii_ and in the same
end and aim, harmonizing withouttne clashing
of separate sects and creeds.
Then, with Common Schools dotted through
out the land, knowledge brought home to every
man's dopr without money and without price,
and the bible in every house, where, under
God's bright and joyous Sun could he found a
more happy or more favored land.
Thomas 11. Burrowes, Esq., then read the
following report of the examination of the Su
perintending Committee :
Mu. PRESIDENT :—The Superintending Com
mittee of the Board report the following as the
result of the annual examination of the Male
and Female High Schools, and of the pupils
of the Secondary Schools who were offered as
candidates for admission into the High Schools.
On the roll of the Male High School there
are, at the present time, the names of 78 stu
dents. Previous to the Ist of April, the num
ber was about 100, but removal from the city,
or entry upon the active duties of life, about
the date just named, annually withdraws a con
siderable portion of the students.
The students of this school are divided into
three Departments : the English, the Mathe a
matical, and that of Languages.
In the English, there are
2 classes in Reading.
.1 " Geography.
English Grammar.
Rhetorick.
History.
In the Mathematical, there are
3 classes in Arithmetic.
4 " Algebra.
" Geometry.
1 " Trigonometry.
1 " Geometrical Drawing.
2 " Book Keeping.
In the department of Languages there are,
_ _
In Latin 4 Classes, viz : fin Fables and Ho
man History; 1 in Virgil; 1 in Horace, and 1
Tacitus and Cicero.
In Greek 2, viz : 1 in Fables and Anecdotes,
and 1 in Lucian and Zenophon's Anabasis.
In French 1 Class, in Grammar and Telemaque.
In German there was one class during the past
year, but it has been discontinued for ;want of
time.
In the Female High School, the number now
on the roll is 87. It was considerably over 100
before the Ist of April; but was then and since
reduced by the same causes which affected the
Aisle School.
The departments are 7, divided somewhat in
the same manner as in the Male High School . ;
the Principal giving instruction in the Langua
ges and in the higher branches of English.
In the English department there are,
3 Classes in Geography.
3 0 " English Grammar.

The Committee could only devote one day
to the examination of each of these interesting
schools. The mode pursued tree ' to hear one
of the usual reoitations of each 'class, in the
course of which such queitions Were also put as

CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1853.
seemed calculated to elicit the pupil's knowledge
of the branch under review. This mode has
the advantage of exhibiting the actual condi
tion of the school, while it, avoids, the loss of
time often incurred in preparation for what is
supposed to be a more general examination.—
It also affords a pretty full view Of the condi
tion and whole operations of the schools in the
shortest time and most orderly way.
From the knowledge of the schools, thus ob
tained and previously possessed, the Committee
feel abundantly justified in reporting both
schools to he in a highly flourishing and satis
factory condition. They mainly regret that
their time will not admit of a more thorough
examination, in as much as they are thereby
deprived of its power of designating, publicly,
the names of such students as have distinguish
ed themselves in point of scholarship. Many
such they know there are in both schools;
but it would require a very close scrutiny to
enable and justify the committee to rank them
strictly according to merit. It is deemed bet
ter, therefore, to omit the discrimination on
the present occasion ; though it is believed
that if faithfully performed hereafter, the ef
fect will be very salutary.
Among the branches of study in both schools,
are the Natural Sciences of Chemistry, Nat
ural Philosophy, Geology, Physiology and As
tronomy.
The lecture books .submitted to the inspec
tion of the committee are generally very, and
in some cases very highly creditable.
It is proper to announce that the following
students of the male high school, neither at,
tended during the recent examination, nor fur
nished a sufficient excuse for their absence
viz :—S. Wiley, D. Wiley, C. Merchant, R.
Thomas. It is the opinion of the committee
that none of these ought to be re-admitted with
out proper explanation.
The task of examining pupils of the second
ary schools for transfer into the high schools,
was also attended to during the week, and
has been performed pretty thoroughly; a full
half day having been devoted to each class.
The following are named as best qualified
for transfer from the four secondary schools;
those marked as No. 3, being best qualified ;
those marked No. 2, next; and those marked
No. 1, next :

Garvin. None of these can be transferred un
til they have been regularly examined.
With these additions, the Male High School,

From W. Ward Secondary, 17
From E. Ward Secondary, 15
The branches upon which the transferred
classes were examined, are Orthography,
Reading, Writing; Geography, English Gram
mar and the History of the United States: in
all of which the pupils had made considerable
and in some very creditable progress.
In discharge of their duty to the Board and
the public, the Committee deem it proper to
present the names of a number of students
whose conduct, during the year, is reported by
their respective teachers to have been praise
worthy :
Male High School—List of students to
whom not a single reproof was administered,
William Breneman, Robert Price, Cyrus Car
many, A. Kauffman.
'List of those whose moral conduct has been
unexceptionable, but who are only excluded
from the foregoing list by slight violations of
order in school:
Samuel Reigart, Samuel Walker, Jac. Stoek,
Thaddeus Stevens, jr., George Franklin, Thos.
Dunlevy, Thomas B. Burrowes, E. Breneman,
Wm. Montgomery, Amos Bowman, H. Gustley,
Sam'l Moore, C. Rine, T. Titus, J. Danner, A.
Kirk, J. Broome, G. Kendrick, John Shober,
W. McVey, J. Boyd, E. McGoniglo, J. Weaver,
George Shaum, J. Downey, W. Nauman, M.
Brooke, N. Hartley, S. Heitshu, E. Weaver,
John Long, John Heitshu,'John Donnelly.
In the Female High School, the conduct of
all the young ladies is reported to be exemplary,
with perhaps half a dozen exceptions, and they
nearly confined to the younger members.
In the east ward Male Secondary School,
the conduct of the following transfered pupils,
is rated highest :—Geo. F. Rote, John Fitzpat
rick, David St. John. Jacob Gable, Win. Cox,
Martin Dunn, John Gustley, Samuel Holbrook
and David Lehner.
In the north west ward Male Secondary, the
conduct of the following pupils is reported to
have been unexceptionable, viz :—Joseph Bow
man, and Henry Hartley; and that of the fol
lowing to have been praiseworthy :—James
Downey, Edwin Bohring, Albert Brimmer, Jac.
W. Sherer, John Albright, William Cooper,
James Garvin,Samuel Bear.
Of the transferred pupils from the West Ward
Female Secondary School, the conduct of the
following is commended :—Fanny Kautz, Ma
ry Johnson, Emma Snyder, Emma Hambright,
Ellen Myers, Eliza Mulhattan,Margaret Lowry.
And from the East Ward Female Secondary
the following:—Jane Davis, Mary Crawford,
Selina Steigerwalt, Sarah Weidle.
It must not, however, be supposed that it is
the design either of the teachers or of the
committee to intimate that the conduct of an
or even a large portion of the pupils whose
names are not found in these lists, is deserving
of severe reprobation. The object is simply to
name the most deserving, in order to incite the
rest to imitate their example more closely.
In closing this report, the committee cannot
forbear adverting to some facts which are Ob
vious in the condition of the High Schools
which are and always will be the indices of the
condition of the Whole series. They are these:
Each year exhibits a larger number of stu
dents remaining over in the schools.
The same gratifying increase is perceptible
in the number pursuing the higher branches.
And the qualifications of the classes annu
ally transferred from the secondary Schools
are gradually but perceptibly rising in grade.
- These are sure proofs not only of the value,
but of the appreciation of that value by our
citizens at large, of those institutions; and
should stimulate the Board to renewed efforts
for the improvement of a system of which
they are the life and head.
Orations were delivered by the following stu
dents of the Male .High School, under Rev. J.

At three o'clock the scholars of allthepublic
schools in the city, accompanied by their Teach
ers and Directors, met at Fulton Hall to partic
ipate in the afternoon's . exercises. The Hall
was densely crowded, and many of our citizens
were not able to obtain admittance.
After the singing of a National Hymn by the
scholars, and the delivery of an address by A:
H. Hood, Esq., George M. Steinman, Esq., an

A hymn was then sung by the pupils, and
the exercises concluded by benediction.
WH&TVER the grief that dime my eye,
Whate'er the cause of sorrow,
We turn us weeping to the sky
And say, 6 4 well smile to-morrow."
And when from those we love to part,
From hope we comfort borrow,
And whisper to our aching heart,
64 Well meet again to morrow."
But when to-morrow comes, 'tie still
An image of to-day,
Still tears our heavy eyelids fill,
Still mourn we those away.
And when to-morrow too is past,
(A yesterday of sorrow ;)
Hope, smiling, cheats us to the last,
With visions of to morrow.
From Scott's Weekly Paper
4 Turnpike and a.Divorce.
A certain Captain M---, a hale good humor
ed man, beloved by all who knew him, and a cer
tain Dr. R--, one of the handsomest men alive,
and a gentleman all over, met a few years since in
Trenton. It was during the session of the Legis
lature, which as everybody knows, is, whenever it
happens, a great feature in Trenton life, and a preg
nint
. item in the history of New Jersey.
`Both the Captain and Doctor were borers—lobby
members—not for the benefit of their own pockets,
but of the public, and that portion of the public,
cons, rised within the limits of Camden, which as
you know, is a great city, located opposite to the
retired hamlet of Philadelphia. The Captain was
'lloring" for Camden as the seat of government,
court house and jail, for the great county of Cam•
den; the Doctor was boring for Long-a-Coming be
ing a large city, composed of a blacksmith ohgp
and two frame houses, and located somewhere be
tween the extreme limits of Camden county and the
Atlantic actin.
In a word, the site of the county Court house was
a disputed question,—the citizens of Camden want
ed it in Camden—the voters of Camden county,
just to spite the Camden people, wanted it
in Long-a-Coming. Well, the Captain with his
hearty honest face, and the Doctor with his honest
very handsome face, came to Trenton, as `•lobby"
members, to press the respective merits of Camden
and Long-a-Coming, upon the notice of the great
Legislature of New Jersey. A week, two weeks,
three weeks, a month passed, and yet the Legisla
ture took no action, and Camden county was still
without a seat of government, court house or jail.
The Doctor grew impatient; meeting the Captain
one day, in one of the passages of the singularly pe
culiar Capitol of New Jersey, he said to his friend
—"You are here for Camden,l for Long-h. Coming;
and here we have been for a month. Allow me to
ask, in the most delicate manner, why in the devil
don't this legislature take some action in the mat
ter, and let us go home? Your business is suffer
ing, and my patients are dying, and yet here we
are, dancing attendance on the cursed Legislature.
Why don't they—the assembled sand and wisdom
of Jersey,—say Camden! or Long-a-Coming! and
let us go home ?"
The Captain drew his young friend into the re
cess of a corridor, and looked at him queerly, with
one eye half shut, hnd his mouth fixed on a decided
"pucker."
"The fact is, R," said he, "you - are green. Are
you not aware that this is a great country, that New
Jersey is a great State, a New Jersey legislation the
tallest kind out of jail?" The Doctor confessed that
he was aware of some of these points, but dark as to
others; he had some conception . of how the Ichthy
osauras, (a big animal, with a hard name, known
to geologists, which had the whole world to itself,
a few million years before Adam) how the khihy
osauras looked, when he was about, but Jersey leg.
islation was an animal which he had looked at on
all sides, but could not understand. Whereupon the
Captain took the Doctor good humoredly by the
arm, and led him into' a retired place, where a
lighted candle shone upon the honest countenance
of a bottle of real champagne—made in Newark,
but labelled "France."
Total. 119
Over this bottle, the Captaid proceeded to give
the Doctor some idea of Jersey legislation. If you
could have seen the fine Roman features of the Doc,
tor, and the good face of the Captain, a little ruddy,
and topped by hair which was partly gray, you
would have much enjoyed the startling narrative
which fell from his lips.
"Albany is a great place„' so the Captain began,
"Harrisburg is another great place,—legislators can
be had there, in great quantities, at reasonable Prices,
but Trenton is the place."
"Expound!" said the Doctor. Upon which the
Captain illustrated his text by the following narra
tive.
, 'One winter, there came to Trenton, two men,
named Smith and Jones, who had, both of them,
designs upon the legislature. Jones had a bad wife,
and was in love with a pretty woman—he wished
to be divorced from the bad wife, so that he might
marry the pretty woman, who, bye the bye, was a
widow, with black eyes, and such a bust! There
fore, Jones came to Trenton for a divorce. Smith
had a good wife, plump as a robin, good as an an
gel, and the mother of ten children, and Smith did
not want to be divorced, but did want to get a char
ter for a turnpike, or plank road, to extend from
Pig's Run to Terrapin Hollow. Well they,iwi.h
these different errands came to Trenton,•and ad
dressed the assembled wisdom with the usual argil
meets. let suppers, mainly composed of oysters,
with a rich back ground of steak and venison, 2nd:
liquids in great plenty,' from "Jersey, lightning,"
(which is a kind of locomotive at full speed, re•

duced to liquid shape) to Newark champagne.
To speak iri plain prose, Jones, the divorce man,
gave a champagne supper, and Smith, the turnpike
man, followed with a champagne breakfast. Un
der the mollifying influence of which, the assembled
wisdom passed both divorce and turnpike bills, and
Jones and Smith (a copy of each bill in parchment
in their pockets) went rejoicing home, over miles
of sand, and through the tribulation of many stage
coaches. Smith arrived at home in the evening,
and as he 'sat down in his parlor,
his pretty wife
beside him—how pretty she did look! and five of
his children asleep overhead, the other five studying
their school lessons in a corner of the room, Smith
was induced to expatiate upon the good result of
his mission to T;enton.
"A turnpike, my dear, I am one 01 the directors,
and will be president, it will set us up, love, we can
send the children to boarding school and live in
style, out of the toll. Here is the charter, honey."
"Let Tilt see it," said the pretty wife, who was
one of the nicest wives, with plumpness and good
ness, dimpling all over her face, "let me see it," and
she leaned over Smith's shoulder, pressing her arm
upon his own, as she looked at the parchment.—
But all at once Smith's visage grew long. Smith's
wife's visage grew black. Smith was not profane,
but now he ripped out an awful oath : "D—n it
wife, these infernal scoundrels at Trenton have gone
and divorced us!"
It was too true, the parchment which he held
was a bill of divorce, in which the name vt f3mith
and Smith's wife appeased in frightfully legible let
teis. Mrs. Smtth wiped her eye with the corner
of her apron,."Here's a turnpike!" she said sadly,
'and with the whole ten of our children, staring me
in the face,
I aint your wife? Here's a turnpike!"
"D—n the 'pike, and the legislature, and--."
Well, the fact is, that Smith reduced to single bless
edness, and "enacted" into a stranger to his own
wife, swore awfully. Although the night w4s dark,
and most of the denizens of Smith's village had
gone to bed, Smith bid his late wife put on her bon
net, and arm in arm they proceeded to the house of
the Clergyman of their church.
"Goodness bless me!" exclaimed the mild good
man, as he saw them enter, Smith looking like the
very last of June shad, and Smith's wife wiping her
eyes with the corner of her apron—" Goodness bless
me! what's the matter?"
"The matter is, I want you to marry us two,
right off!" replied Smith.
"Marry you t' ejaculated the clergyman, with
expanded fingers, and awful eyes, "are you drunk
or crazy ?"
"I aint crazy, and I wish I was drunk," said
Smith, desperately; •the fact is, Brother Goodwin,
that some scoundrels at Trenton, unbeknown to me,
and at dead of night, have gone and divorced me
froth my own wife, she the mother of—of--nine
children?'
"Ten," suggested Mrs. Smith, who was crying,
"Here's a turnpike!"
Well the good minister seeing the state of the
case, (the Trenton parchment was duly produced
from the pockets of the lugubrious Smith) married
them over straight way, and would not take a fee
the fact is, grave as he was, he was dying to be
alone, so that he could give vent to the suppressed
laugh, which was shaking him all over; and Smith
and Smith's wile went joyfully home, and kissed
every one of their ten children. The little Smith's
never lcnew that their father and mother had been
made foreigners to each other, by legislative enact
ment. , Meanwhile, and on the sell-same night,
Jones returned - to his town—Burlington, I believe
—and sought at once that fine pair of black eyes,
which he hoped shortly. to call his own. The pret
ty widow sat him on the sofa, a white 'kerchief tied
carelessly about her round white throat, her black
hair laid in silky waves, against each rosy cheek.
"Divorce is the word," cried Jones, playfully pat
ting her double chin. "The faet is, Eliza, I'm rid
of that cursed woman, and you and I'll be married
to-night. I know how to manage those scoundrels
at Trenton. A champagne supper, (or was it a
breakfast'?) did the business with them. Put on
your bonnet and things, and let us go to the Preach
er's at once, dearest "
"The widow,°(who was among widows, as peach-
es are among apples,)put on her bointet and took
Jones arm, and—
" Just look how handsome it is put on parchment!"
cried Jones, pulling the document from his pocket,
and with much rustling spreading the document
out before her. "Here's the law, which says that
Jacob Jones and Anna Caroline Jones are tvi o 1 —
Look at it r Putting her plump gloved hand on
his shoulder, she did look at it.
"04 dear!" she said, with her rose-bud lips, and
sank back, half fainting, on the sofa.
"Oh blazes!" cried Jones, and sank beside her,,
rustling the fatal,parchment in his band . "Here's
lots of happiness and champagne gone to ruin!"
.1, .... a hard case. Instead of being divorced
and at liberty to marry the widow, Jacob Jones was
simply, by the legislature of New Jersey, incorpor
ated into a turnpike company, and which made it
worse, authorized (with his brother directors) to
construct a turnpike from Burlington to Bristol.—
When you reflect, that Burlington and Bristol are
located just a mile apart, on opposite sides of the
Delaware river, you will perceive the extreme hope
lessness of Jone?' case.
"It's all the fault of that tl—n ttirnpike man, who
gavr 'ern the champagne supper, or was it.break
fast r cried Jones in his agony. "If they'd a char
tered me to be a turnpike from Pig's Run to Ter
rapin Hollow, I might have'-borne it, but the very
idea of budding a pike from Burlington to Bristol,
bears an absurdity on the face of it" So it did.
"And you aint divorced'" said Eliza, a tear roll
ing down each cheek.
"No!" thundered Jones,
crushing his hat between
his knees, and pounding his hat with his clenched
fists, "I aint divorced, but I am incorporated into a
turnpike I and what is worse, the legislature is ad
journed, and gone 'home drunk, and wont be back
to Trenton, until next year I" It was a hard case.
The mistake had occurred in the last day of the
session, when legislators and transcribing clerks,
were laboring under the effects of a champagne sup
per, followed by a champagne breakfast. Smith's
name had been put where Jones' ought to have
been, and "wisey wersey," as the Latin poet has it.
This is in sub once, if not , in words, was the
Captain's story
"Do you re. .n to say that that is a fact ?" asked
the Doctoe .moothing his black whiskers, and gaz
ing around the restaurant "box" in which they were
seated, and finally at the three quarters emptied bot
tle of Maderia.
!ghat is a sample of Jersey legislature," calmly
replied the Captain.
The Doctor sat a long time in deep thought, ab
sently playing with the cork of the three-fourths
extinguished bottle, and at last said in a calm de
cided way :
"Captain ! Long-a-Coming and Camden may go
to blazes! This very night I will repose in the
bosom of my family, Captain. The next train
starts at five o'clock, and I will take it I"
Whether this story be true or not, we cannot say,
but both the Captain and the Doctor are men of
truth, and the latter, one bleak autumn night, when
we were both belated amid the pines, at the very
Jerseyiest of Jersey taverns, told the story to me,
by is bright wood fire, and a sincere earnest face.

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Graduate from one of the most eminent Col
leges of the United States and the greater part of
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon
don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect
ed some of the most astonishing cures that were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the
ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being
alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, wish de
rangement of mind, were cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injures
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either busineS
or society.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ebl
facts produced by early habits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the bead,
Dimness of Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal
pitation of the flew, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita
bility, Derangement of the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion
of Ideas, ,Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo
ding, Aversion of Society, Self Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Thilidity, &c. are some of the evils pro
duced•
NERVOUS DEBILITY
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
premature decay generally arises from the destruct
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young
who are the most apt to become its Victims from
an ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis
led with respect to the cause or source of disease
in their sons and wards. Alas! how often do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effeets, such as loss of Memory, Depres
eion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they have been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive te
both Body and Mind. Thus a're swept from ex
istence thousands who might have been of use to
their country, a pleasure to their friends, an orna
ment to society..
WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS
immediately cured and full vigor restored.
Oh, how happy. have , hundreds of misguided
youths been made, who have been suddenly resto
red to health from the devastations of those terrific
maladies which result from indiscretion. Such
persons, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
should reflect that a sound mind and body are the
moat necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro'
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair, and filled with the melan
choly reflection that the happiness of another be
comes blighted with our own. Let no false delica
cy prevent you, but apply immediately.
He who places himself under the care of Dr
JOHNSTON, may religiously confide in his hon
or as a Gentleman, and confidently rely upon his
skill as a Physician
TO STRANGERS.
The many thousands cured at this institutlon
within the last ten years, and the numerous im
portant Surgical Operations performed by Dr. J.,
witnessed by the Reporters of the papers and ma.
ny other persons, notices of which have appeared
again and again before the public, is a sufficient
guarantee that the afflicted will find it skilful and
honorable physician.

PREPARED from Rennet, or the fourth Stom

This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indigestion,

method, by Nature's own Agent, the Gastric Juice.
Half a teaspoonful of Pepsin, infused in water,

in about two hours, out of the stomach.
PErsix is the chief element, or Great Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice—the solvent ofiti
food, UM purifying, preserving and stimulating
agent of the stomach and intestines. It is extracted
from the digestive stomach of the.,ox, thus form
ing an Artihcial Digestive Fluid, precisely like the
natural Gastric Juice in its chemical powers, and
furnishing a complete and perleet substitute for it
By the aid of this preparation, the pains and evil.
of Indigestion and Dyspepsia are removed, just u
they would be by a healthy stomach. It is doing
wonders for dyspeptics, curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and Dyspeptic Cone
sumption, supposed to be on the verge of the grave
The scientific evidence upon which it is based, is
in the highest degree curious and remarkable.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
Baron Liebig In his celebrated work on Anima
Chemistry, says: "Aa artificial Digestive Fluid,
analogous to the Gastric Juice, may be readily
prepared from the mucous membrane of the atom
ach of the calf, in which various articles of food,
as meat and eggs, will be softened, changed, and
digested, just in the smile manner as they would
be in the human rucomach.•'
Dr. Pereira, in his famous treatise on " Food and
Diet," published by Fowler & Wells, New York,
page 35, states the same great fact, and describes
the method of preparation. There are few higher
authorities than Dr. Pereira.
Dr. Combe, in his valuable writings on the
" Physiology of Digestion," observes that "a dim
inution of the due quantity of the Gastric Juice is
a prominent and all prevailing cause of D yspepsiat"
and he states that "a distinguished professor of
medicine in London, who was severely afflicted
with this complaint, finding everything else to fail,
had recourse to the Gastric Juice, obtained from
the stomach of living animals, which proved•rem
pletely successfull."
Dr. Graham, author of the famous works on
"Vegetable Diet," says: "It is a remarkable fact
in phgsiology, that the stomachs of animals, mace
rated in water, impart to the fluid the property of
dissolving vs.rous articles of food, and of effecting
a. kind of artificial digestion of them in nowise
diffrfeent mro the natural digestitu. process."
AS A DYSPEPSIA CURER,
Dr. HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN has produced ilia
most marvellous effects, in curing cases of Debility,
Emaciation, Nervons Decline, and Dyspeptic
Consumption. It is impossible to give the details
of cases in the limits of this advertisement ; but
authenticated certificates have been given of more
than Two Hundred Remarkable Cures, in Pnila
delphia, New York and Boston alone. These
were nearly all desperate cases, and the cures were
not only rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
It is a great Nervous Antidote, and particularly
useful for tendency to Billions disorder, Liver
Complaint, Fever or.. Ague, or badly treated Fever ,
ana Ague, and the evil effects of Quinine,Mee
cury and other arugs upon the Digestive rgans,
after a lor.g sickness. Also, for excess in eating,
and the too free use of ardent spirits. It almost
reconciles health with intemprance.-
