An Historical Incident.
The story I am about to tell relates
to an incident in the - history of Eng
land which is but little known, and
which you will not find in books, bu
one which nevertheless had a Brea
effect on her destinies
About the beginning of this cen.
Wry, while the revolutionary wars
were raging, communication in ci
pher was naturally very prevalent :
and ingenuity was taxed to the ut
most on one hand to invent, and on
the other to detect, the medium used
in secret correspondence. , As a rule,
the decipherer had beaten the cipher,
and do known method was secure -of
detection. If conventional signs
were merely used, the recurrence of
the different symbols gave a key easi
ly followed out. Some ingenious
spirits Corresponded by reference to
the' pages and lines of particular pdi-
Aions of -.bcioks—methods, although
they might preserve the secret, 'dii-,
dosed' what was often quite as . dan-'
prow : there was a secret. lam
about'to tell you of a plan which for i
a long time was not only undetected,
but unsuspected. .
It - we& atthat time when the first
Napoleon had assembled 'his fleets
and transports at Brest,' with the os
tensible, and is generally believed
,the real view,nf -making a descent on
Brigland. :The greatest precautions
Were _observed • by, the English gov
erzunenfin regard to correspondence
from Irence, 'arid. an amount 'of es
pionagnwas practiced at thepost
affice, which , left . Sir James Graham's
`subsequerit Performance in that line
If* behind. The national excitement,
'did thciiiifitical departments Of the',
goierrinerit were administered with
an Iran Sway.
- My uncle, Sir George Trevor, was,
as ell the world then knew, high in
the : Admiralty—and as it was from
shim that I—heard this anecdote, its
•xeincitymy be depended on.
The dispatches to and from the Ad
miralty were the subject of the grav
est vigilance, and the most stringent
regulations. The clerks were not
permitted to send or receive letters
, which were not first submitted to the
ii
1 chief clerk ; and it w ' believed that
letters addressed eve toprivate resi
dences were frequentl opened at the
post-office.
At the time I speak 'of, the chief
clerk was an elderly man of the name
of Parker—a wizened, wiry, dapper
individual, so imbued with the offi
cial tincture of Whitehall that it had .
become second nature to him. He
lived and breathed And thought and
slept solely for the Admiralty, and
knew no other pleasure or care. He
was withal a getual i ruid kindly soul,
keen and energetic 'in the affairs of
his office, and ~' all others a mere
child. - - ...tv , ii,

He had maim !pi his private sec
retary, a young ~;, .4; , „1, • ,.,„the name of

countenance and Mawr: Suggestive of
depression and Melancholy. He was
evidently of good tdueition and
probably well born also, for liii; man
ners were easy and indicated good
breeding. He woe a native of Jer
sey, and had beeifintioduced to the
notice of the Adiniralty authorities
by some influential - member of Par
liament. He was much liked in the
office, and discharged his duties to
perfection.
One morning Parkerpresented
himself before my uncle with a visage
pale with woe , = trembling with ex,
"citement. t '
" Why, wha „is the matter, Par
ker? Has Bo , . , come t"
" He may hay:,for aught I know,"
said Parker. "' ~ . are all wrong,
Sir George." •
" What is wrong?"
" Theietteralare wrong. There• is
a spy among Mr. I have known it
for a long time, now I am quite sure;
but I cannot find him out."
Parker went on to explain that he
had for , some time suspected that
some one in the office communicated
their private information and dia.
patches outside. He had redoubled
his precautions • but, more than ever
confirmed in hi s suspicions, wits en
tirely_baffied in his endeavors to de
tect the culprit. ,
"But, Parker," said my uncle
" how do you oome to be so sure that
your secrets have t+l?trar"

letters of the day.' " By'the way,
how does young , Beaumont get on?
She seems a nice creature, that sister
of his, to judge by her letters."
" He is the best hand in the offici3,

sweet; ladylike creature. They are
orphans, poor things, and he sup

I gave him leave to see her for a few
mmutes in my room. But he knew
it was against mks, and has not seen
her here again."
" But what are we to do?" said my
uncle. " I think I will speak to the
First Lord."
So he spoke to the Firit Lord, who
hought the affair serious enough.
"It must be in the letters," said
" It cannot be in the letters," said
my uncle.
"As you please," said the- chief ;
" but, although you cannot find it
there, perhaps another can. I would
try an expert."
My uncle had no faith in experts

Ife‘read them all very carefully,
looked at them in the light, and look

last he put them all aside, excepting
ne from Elinor Beaumont.
"Who is the lady who writes this ?"
said the taciturn man of skill at last.
very sweet young woman,"
said Parker, smartly ; "sister of my
private secretary."
" Does she write often ?"
"Yes ; she is his only correspon
dent, and writes about twice smear."
•'Where does she live?"
" She lives in Jersey. Beaumont
told me. Their father was in busi
ness. there."
"And does she always write about
the same sort of things—aunt's rheu
matism, picnics, squires tea-parties,
and the like?"
" Much the same, excepting when
she speaks of Beaumont himself."
"Hum!" said the-expert.
" Well; sir," said my uncle, Who
was rather impatient of the man-of
skill's pomposity, " and what may
' hum' mean? Have the young wo
man and her aunt's rheumatism done
the mischief?"
" Hum ! She dates from Fleet
street ?"
" And why should she not date
from Fleet street ?"
" I should be sorry-to prevent her,"
said the unmoved philosopher. " Ths
this correspondence continued long ?"
"0, yes—a couple of years or so,
bat not nearly so regularly as lately."
" For how long regularly ?"
" About two months."
" That is, about the time when you
first suspected the betrayal of confi
dence ?"
"Really, my friend, if you can't
see farther into amillstone than that,
you may give up the profession,"
said my uncle. "Take my word for
it, the Beaumonts have nothing to do
with it. Rubbish !"
" Hum!" And with that the man
of skill took his hat, and departed,
saying he would return in two days.
The two days, however, were five be

closeted with my uncle and Par

disfavor.
"Wants to make a job," said 'the
latter—" a regular htuubug."
" Sir GeOrge," said the regular
humbug, "has Beaumont a locked
desk in his room ?"
"yes, sir," said Parker, "he has."
" Have you a key which will open
it ?"
" Lhave—and what of that?"
"I wish to have that desk opened
without his knowledge, and the can

"And on what pretence," said my
uncle, "do you propose to put this
insult on a man against whom there
is no reasonable ground of suspicion,
and who has not been allowed to
speak for himself?'
- There need be no insult, for he
will know nothing of it ; neither will

" I will pot permit it, sir."

the last.
" Read that," said he, heading it
to my uncle.
" As the letter is important, I give

"120 FLU? BURET, Sept. - 21, 1803.
"Xy Dear Charles: Although we had mad
verse wind all the way, we made -without diffi

•In epite of the weight of her fifty years, enjoyed
the trip much, and is ready to sail again. I
hope you will think of sending the. hue you

esti3y your visit.
When I was In London last week I saw our
cousin Barry, fresh from Windsor. There is
but little change to be observed in him—not as
much as you would expect. Como to us on
Friday. 'tours very alit., Duos B."
My uncle read this out loud, from
beginning to end, and then ho said,
" Do you see anything suspicions in
that ? It seems to me very innocent."
"Hum! It maybe. Was there
anything else in the desk.?" said he,
addressing Parker.
" You may go and look," growled
that potentate ; and he led the way,
the expert following.
The desk was quite empty, with
the exception of two or throe scraps
of waste paper. On one of these the
expert pounced, and returned with
an air of elation to the other room.
He then unfolded this scrap of pa
per, and disclosed a half sheet exact
ly the size of the paper on which Eli
nor Beaumont's letters were written,
in which oblong holes at intervals had
been cnt.
He then placed this half sheet over
the letter, and handed both, thus
placed, to mp•uncle, whose astonish
ed eyes read the following words,
which the holes left visible :
"Fleet vrindbonnd. Fifty evil of the line.
Twenty-five mailer. Should the wind change,
expect us on Friday."
" The devil!" said my uncle; " and
Nelson ordered off to the West In
dies."
Then was there, as you may sup
pose, hurrying and scurrying, and
running and chasing, and dispatch
ing of government couriers, and se
maphore telegraphs, and carries-pi
geons, and all the old world means
of communication then in fashion.
The key thus obtained disclosed the
whole correspondence, which turned
out to be a connected series of letters
from the French Government, smug
gled into Jersey. The rest history
knows.; the intended invasion was
abandoned, and Napoleon went else
where.
" But what put you on the scent ?"
asked my uncle afterwards, with many
apologies to the expert.
" I suspected the trick from the
first, although it was a very good
specimen of it. The letters were too
innocent, and had too little point in
rem. Bat they were done with ad
rable skill. The grammar was
complete • and the little dots or
marks which bunglers use to guide
them in writing the words were en
tirely absent. The way in which the
deception is effected is this : The cor
respondents, before commencing, take
a sheet of paper and cut holes in it,
which, of course, in the two half sheets
exactly correspond. They each take
one half sheet, and when the letter is
to be written, the writer so arranges
the words that those intended to be
read shall appear it' the , holes when
the half sheet is placed over the pa
per, which is of the -same size. When
his correspondent receives the letter,
ho places his half sheet over it and
reads the words as you did. The
difficulty, which was so well conquer
ed in this case, , is to make the sense
run fluently, and to prevent any visi
ble break in the .ivriting. Without
the half sheet with the holes in it, no
one can have the slightest clue to the
real meaning.
"My suspicions, once aroused,
were confirmed by the inquiries which I
I made. The whole story about the
sister was a fabrication. The letters
did- come from Jersey, the answers
went to Fleet street, to the charge of
very notorious foreign agents. But
if our friend had not been fool enough
to leave his half sheet in his desk, we
• might have groped in vain for the
m Beaumont disappeared that night,
and was never heard otagain at the

that some accomplice had warned
him of the expert's visit to the Ad

There were four competitors for the
prize, which was awarded to the au
thor of 'Hale's History of the United
States.
Referring to the Americans, Hale
says in his appendix : " The germ of
a national character has always ex
isted. It has grown with our growth
and is gradually throwing into the
glade those unfavorable and discor
dant traits which have disfigured and
partly concealed it from view. Who,
that has read the history of . these
States, has not perceived in te in
habitants an energy of purpose capa
ble of surmounting all obstacles ;
spirit of enterprise that leaves noth
ing useful unattempted ; a proud
sense of personal dignity and inde
pendence ; a decided preference of
utility before show • and a love of
knowledge that him; dispelled igno
rance from the land?" After. speak
ing of the past progress of our na
tion and refering to " splendid ex
pectations," he says, " their fulfilment
depends, in a great degree, upon the
future - conduct of the people them
selves ; upon their adherence to the
principles of their fathers i • upon the
preservation of free political institu
tions, of industrious; frugal, and,mor
al habits ; and, above all, upon the
universal diffusion of knowledge.
This truth should sink deep in the
hearts of the old and young. The
citizens of this republic'should never
forget the awful responsibilities rest
ing upon them, They constitute the
oldest nation on this western hemi
sphere, the first on the list of exist- 1 1
mg republics. They stand forward,
the object of hatred to some, of ad
miration to many, of wonder to all ;
and an impressive example to the
people of every country. To them is
committed an experiment, successful
hitherto, the final result of which
must have a powerful in = fluence upOn
the destiny of mankind ; if favorable'
and happy, the whole civilized world
will be free ; if adverse, despotism
and darkness will again overshadow
it. May they over be sensible of the
vast importance of their example.
May they never betray their sacred
trust." •
John Pierpont, author of the " Na
tional Reader ; a Selection, of Exer
cises in Reading and Speaking, de
signed to fill the same place in the
Schools of the 'United States, that is
held by those in Great Britain ,by
1 1 Compilations of .Murray, Scott, End- ,
field, Mylius, Thompson, Ewing, and
others," says : " This country has po
litical.institutions of its men ; insti
tutions which the men of each suc
cessive generation must'uphold. But
this they cannot do unless they are
early made to understand and value
them. It has a history of its own, of
which Aimed not be ashamed ; fath
ers and heroes, and sages, of its own,
whose deeds and praises are worthy
of being ' said and sung' by even the
' mighty masters of the lay,' and with
whose deeds and praiies, by being
made familiar in our childhood, we
shall be not less qualified to act well
our part as citizens of a republic.
Our country, both physically and
morally, has a character of its own.
Should not something of that charac
ter be learned by the children while
at school? Its mountains, and prai
,ries, and lakes, and iivers, and cata
racts—its shores and hill-tops that
were early made sacred by the dan,
gers, and sacrifices, and deaths, of
the devout and the daring,—it does
seem as if these were worthy of being
held up as objects of interest to the
young eyes that, from year to year,
are opening upon them, and worthy
of being linked, with all their sacred
associations, to the young afrectiOns,
which, sooner or later, must be bonnd
to them, or they must cease to_
what they now are—the inheri i ace
and abode of a free people."
In order to obtain or sustain a na
tional character, it should be remem
bered that youth is the seedtiine aid
that whoever has the young mind in
charge should be a husbandman that
knows his seed and understands how
to sow and cultivate it. The text- .. ,
book and. teacher may I?reate, sustain,
or destrOy a nation just in 'accor
dance with the seed sown and culti
vated. Thus it is all-important that
the school-bOoks and instructors be ,
prepared to carry on the work which
their sphere has allotted , them.
Each religious orgarOkation with
which are acquainted has its Sab
bath-school for the purpose of instil
ling the views peculiar to itself, as
well as those held in common with
others. This course shows sound
and cautions judgment, which should
be better imitated in our common
sehoObt than it is. Dare we say- our

' The Walks:dual education of man
being first in order, must first, receive
a small share of our time and attah
tion. If we were capable of thinking
correctly on this subject,' we should
find -without doubt a wide range for
our thoughts in this part alone: But
as we are not expected to exhaust
either of the subjects above mention
ed, we shall hire to be brref.
The education of our intellectual
faculties is certainly , of great interest
to students and should receive much

more attention from all mankind. I
is evident that by educating the in
tellect, as a first result •we make it
stronger, more elastic, and more ca
pable of receiving impressions from
the external world and the internal
world: of thought within us. ,
By cultivating the intellect we may
make rapid progress toward that-per
fection and strength of mind which.
so much distinguishes man from the
lower animal creation.
• But the intellectual power of great
men is not usually acquired without
great labor and exertion Of-mind, arid
also that men as a rule do not achieve
their greatest intellectual victories
until they have attained coraiderallle
age, or it may be termi4d more prop
erly, experience. This wonderful
mental foresight, strength and dis-
erimination of mind is often the re-
.suit of long years of study and appli
cation. This is a reason why we
have not more men and women of
.strong _ intellectual calibre. Young
persons who are but just at the start
ing point of an education, are too apt
to expect too soon the reward of study
and discipline of the mind. It re
quires patience and time to bring
about great results in theintellectual
as well as in the physical morld.
Therefore we should:nol be daunted
or discouraged if we do not at once
" pluck the golden apples" or acquit
ourselves as being full grown in the
region of intellect.
Let us think that what has been ,
done may be done again by those
who follow after the great lights of
east ages. It should be a prominent
idea to hold on to what we have learn
ed, and making energy our rule of
adtion, keep on making new 'attain
ments in the cause of an intellectual
education in, all the days we may
hope of a long future.
• While eager in our efforts for the
glories of an intellectual education,
we should not forget. that there are
other faculties of the mind - which
should not be neglected.' These are
nothing less than those of. our moral
or spiritual natures. We are prone
to forget the fact that we are observ
ed by Him who is above - all, and that
we are held responsible for -all our
actions. This but reminds us that,
we should live as seeing Min who is
invisible and from Wheat all power,
goodness, mercy and truth originates:
Last, and perhaps not least, in im
portance to many of us, is the educa
tion of our physical nature, -viz : The
sense of sight, hearing, taste, smell,
and the organs of locomotion which
are called muscles, with the general
framework of the body. • However
important and desirable.. it. may be
for us to study and toil in the " mines
of knowledge,"we may do so at the
expense of al the pleasures of a phy- ..
sisal existence. There ere but few
that need to restrain their ambition
for devouring the contents: of books,
In such cases =Aeration and pru
dence should be consulted lest we en
gage too earnestly in the strife for
larger draughts from the fountain of
never failing wisdom. The maxim—
a sound mind in a healthy body—has
not lost its force as a • " twice told
tale." After all that can be said or
written under those heads, taken se!),
arately, do not go to make up any
thing but a part of that being God
t
made of the " dust f the earth."
But, when these three e united, the
intellectual, moral an .physical, in
all their beauteous an sublime pro
portions, we have tha - wonderful, in
telligent and godlikebeing called by
the Creator man.

"We will hallow her love with• oar tears." ,

sich, settle in Noo York, and them
wich is-agricultoortilly disposed, come
here to Delaware: Let em abandon
Ireland forever, and erect their shan
ties in.' this new world, where they
are not only ez good ez natives, but
a. good deakhetter.
Fat a prospeck is held out to eta !
lii-Noo York they not only vote, but
become eligibleio offis the mint they
land. Eligible to vote did I say ?
Why I hev seen em git offli ship the
mornin uv_ eleckahun and vote ten
times before nits, gittin two dollars.
per vote, and free whisky. Kin they
do ez well ez that in Ireland? Spo
-zen they had the Green Ile wrested
from the bands
they
the British des
pots, would they be petinitted to -vote
ten times at' each eleckshnn, and
coed they git so high a price for the
service? I don't bleeve it.
We want the agrieultoor i al portion
uv em here in Delaware to offset the
nigger vote. Only, by increased Irish l i
emigrashen kin we retain control nv
Delaware. We can't get hold LIT the
niggers. The cusses are learning to
read ; there are preachers, and lay
'raft which run Sunday skools at
Work among em, -and they - stand a
solid phalanx opposed to the Dimoc
risy. We want the Irish to offset em,
and Delaware is their . troo paradise.
We havo no free skools to bother em,
which gives their parokial system un
limited sway. We hey supreme con
trol, now, and to save it are prepared
to Make votin f ist as profitable ez in
Noo York, and more so, becoz we
hey in Wilmington a parcel uv radi
kel mannfacters and merchants, wich
we would jilt ez soon tax em ez not,
and to any extent. • We must hey em
settled in Delaware, -for we can't
tranßport em from New York to Dela
ware to vote ez.. - we do in -Connecti
cut, for the distance is too great.
We kin carry. Noojersey and Penn-
Sylvany that way, but not-Delaware.
With Noo York, city and State, Con
necticrit, Noo Jersey, Pednsylvany
and Delaware controlled in this way,
'why shoed not the Pope uv, Rome be
indoost to take up his residence in
Noo Jersey, when Italy, Spain and
Austry git too progressi* to give
him shelter ? And then we treed hey
it ez we want it. - We wood hey here
in our midst the authority to keep

SUGGESTIONS TO PARENTS. •
1. Do not permit your rhilaren t o.
come; late to school. Tardiness and
absence ere destructive to the best
interests of a school, collectively . , and,f
of its pupils, individually. The school
is constantly interrupted and ember
assed by, the intrusion of delinquents
at unseasonable hours, its exercises ,
are disturbed, its order is broken and
the burdens of its teacher' ate greatly
increased. The pupil 'is demoralized,
his interest is diminished, an 4 his
habits are rendered irregular.. ' The
child who is allowed to be habitually .
late at school, inevitably becomes the
adult who fails to pay his notes and'
to meet his engagements generally.
Such children and such men and wo
men ate usually too late for the cars,
too late at church; And by force ' of
the same habit it will be strange If
they are not too late for II the day of
death. • ITO element in a k4 - i7re char
acter ought to be more cArefully cul
tivated than a sacred regatd for meet
ing his engagements promptly and
fully. Will you aid us nillus work,
by doing your share to - secure 'the
prompt attendance of your children -
at school ?
2. Encourage, and if need be, -re
quire your children to devote a regu
lar portion of their time to a prepara
tion of their lessons and such other
school work asumy be assigned them
out of school hours. It is obvious
that without such steady Co-operation
by the parent, the teacher, will be
poWerless and his efforts to advance
your children will be to a great ex
tent in vain., It is of the first impor
tance that your chiblku should feel
that they are. response both to the
parent and teachet ; otherwise they
will not put forth that full measure
/ of effort which alone can insure ordc
cess. Every child of sufficient age
to study profitably out of School will
have his work assigned. ' Will yon
aid us -in the effort to secure his at
tention to it? •
8. Visit the school often and con-.
fer with, the teacher. Give a reason- -
able amount of attention to, the school
relations of your children. By per
sonal inspection assure yourselves
that the teachers of your children are.:
faithful to their trust.' See that they
understand your children :and that _
you understand both. Be net satis
fied with f..r parte complaints, but lis
ten to the teacher as well as to your
child before you form an opinion. or
pass a judgment.
4. Finally, remember that without
the restraints of order and discipline,
no good school can exist, and hence,
no pupils can be properly instructed
and trained. Obedience next to
love, the first law of childhood.. There
must be prompt obedience and a
cheerful acquiescence in all just mea-
sures for securing good order.—Pmf.

LEGAL ADVIOE.
A gentleman ordered a suit of
clothes from , a tailor, and specially
enjoined him that they must be glade
by the next Tuesday, and must be
made in the finest style, and that-un
less the tailor could have them ready
to a certainty beyond a pendventure
to the day, that he must not . under
take them,; but Snip promised faith
fully that. they would be finished.
Tuesday came and 'no clothes ; the
enraged man flew to the cabbage
I man's house and said : "What's the
reason ray clothes are not ready as
you promised? Here you have kept
me in the city at a loss of time and
business only, to disappoint me ; now,
if we. had you iii 'our - part of the
country, ..I tell you what they would
call you : they would say you-were a
perfect squirt."
The humble blight of the goose
explained; that the enly competent
workman ithat he had, capable ,of
making the suit; had n . wife lyineat
death's door, and ho could not possi-
`ay leave her. The outraged gentle
man -was not able to smother his dis
appointment, and berated the tailor
pretty soundly for failing in his pos
itive promise. The ninth fraction of
the " genus homo" could not - stand
--this, and plainly told his customer to
go to the caloric regions of Pande
monium.
The customer, red with rage,,rush
ed across the street to a lawyer, and
in an melted and...hurried manner,
said :
. "Do you know-Snip,
_the tailor,• ;.
across tho way?" ~'
" Yes, I know him," . answered —
Brief. -•
" Well, now, I want your advice,"
said the gentleman : " I .want to
know what you would do in such •o.
case. That old stitch louse has kept
me hero in the city on expense, to
the great detriment of my business,
and disappointed me in a suit of
clothes ; but when I went to remon
strate with the fellow about it, what
do you suppose he said to me to gp
to—.

ten dollar bill on the desk,-and said,
"Yaw, sir, what would you do?" I •

"I do," was the reply.
"Then," said Brief, quietly folding

pocket, "he told you, to go to

is' don't do it. There is, moreover,
no statute or-local law that can com

say, don't you do it. - 1
THE Lrrrix Osis.—Do you ever
think what a work a child does in ;a
day? How, from sunrise to sunset,
the dear little feet patter around—to
us—so aimlessly ; olimbing up . hero,
kneeling down there, rimming to an
other place, but never still, twisting
:and turning, rolling and reaching and s ,
doubling, as if testing every bone and
muscle for their future uses. It is
very curious to watch it. One - who
does so may well and easily under
stand the deep breathing of the little
sleeper, as with one , arm tossed over;
its curly head it prepares for next'
day's gymnastic& A busy creature
is a little child.
