These cards are taken hprie by the pupil and kept with neatdea.i. At the end of the week- all are. returned to the teacher, and the pupil's standing, as indicated by'the cards, is regis tered in a book for that purpose ; while he buys as many minutes preceding the hour for dismissing school, as the sum of the min utes on his cards. For instance; the pupil has sir cards of " 5 minutes," and twelve of " 2 minutes," these he presents to the teach er at 54 minutes before the hour of closing school, and buys his time for the remainder of the school day. • The last half day of each week should be spent in reviewing the lesions of that week, so that those. who failed in learning them thoroughly, may have 6 opportunity of knowing them, while the industrious. scholar, who learned the lessons thoroughly each day, has not only the Satisfaction of knowing them, but the privilege of claiming the use of the time thus gained.

There has been no new attempt at agitatior. on the part of the oppositibn. But how is it with themselves? The - President sends in his Message and two mortal columns of it are devoted to fan ning the flames of Slavery'agitation. Congress meets, and on the first dal of the session, Z%fr. Mason, Chairman of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, acting in behalf Of the Administration, takes the earliest mot meat to revive the Slavery agitation, by call ing up the claim of the owners of the Amis tad negroes. The South Carolina Legislature assembles with a concedet Administration majority in both houses. Its - whole time is taken up with ,the discussion of a proposition to re-open the slave-trade; and the revival of "agita tion." --The Arkansas Legislature, also in session, devotes its, time to Pro-Slavery Resolutions, for the express purpose of keeping up agita tion.' The North Carolina Legislature is agitat ing the subject of reducing free negroes to Slavery. The Alabama andflorida Legislatures are agitating the Slave Trade. - The 'Mississippi politicians are issuing manifestoes, all to a greater or less extent agitating the Slavery question.

White the bill was under discussion, Mr. Grow—under the five -minutes-rule—made the following remarks in favor of the substi tute offered - by Mrs Peitttm, Of New 'tork: "Mr. tbltii-Inan,,it is an ungracious ssk, am aware, to seem to 'oppose any - applica tion for the bounty of the Government "in be half of those who have upWri its standard on the battlefield.. Such men are deserving, it is true, of a more substantial reward than tears to the dead and thanks to the living ; and the Government tins so decided, for un der the bounty-land policy, the Government has granted to all such men one hundred and sixty acres-of land thus securing to them a home, and, if able bodied, they can surround it with comfort and make their firesides hap py. The Government has never pensioned for service; merely. except in' ease of the TZe volution, so-this bill proposes an entirely new policy. The substitute offered by the gentleman from New York, proposes to grant to all the invalids, these who were disabled in the ser vice of their country, and thus incapacitated" from obtaining their livelihood, a - pension from the date of their disability. Sir, in my judgment. that is the only proposition that can pais both Houses, and thus become a law at this session of Congress.' I am, there fore, in fiivor of this substitute. lam in fa vor of it, believing that if there be any differ encef-and certainly there is—those are• the, meritorious men who appeal Ao the justice of their country, with that strongest of all tip -peals decrepitude and want, interred by rea son Orthe disability they received in the ser vice of their country. These men - receive a pension now from the time they complete their proof; and it, is granted because they were disabled in.the service of their country. The disability is the meritorious cause of the pension. Why not then begin from the date of that disability? In all cases, I desire to see the Government of my , country provide for the widows and children of those whcefell in her struggles; and provide, also, for the men disabled in her cause. You have such - men, to day, scattered:all over the land, hob bling on their crutches, on the . brink of the grave, from disabilities received in uphold. ing the standard of their country. Their re lict can be provided far. Then why not' - do a practical and just thing for these men?— Do what there ought to be no objection to, and what every man knows can become the low—a bill which will secure these men this bounty from the date of their disability. That Will give them, in this, the period, of their decline, the means of relief, and secure them from want the remnant of their little pilgrim. age on earth. Sir, the great-argument that I have heard in behalf of this bill, and the one strongly pressed in &icor of this new _policy of pen sioning for service alone, is that it is a sub stitute fora standing army. That argument pays a poor compliment to the patriotism of the country ; that it must be stimulated to defend Its own hearthstones and fire-sides, by the paltry sum of a Government bounty of ninety-six dollars a year. I appeal to the gallant men upon this* floor, who rendered such signal service in planting the standard of their country in the ancient halls of the MonteruniaS, if that consideration could have influenced_them to enlist to - fight the battles of theiecountry. I know they would repel it as an insultsto their manhood, if not their sense of duly to their country. And will they claim to be more patriotic than their compatriots in arms? Sir,two things are in my judgment to be avoided if possible, in this Government; the one a large itand ing army, and the other.* large list of life pensioners on the bounty of the Government. The men who'enlist in the service of , their country in the hour ordenger, need' no' such stimuins; as was well said by the veteran and gray-haired member from Ohio, (Mr.- Gid-. dings,) the pride of the soldier lei the 4timn lant to such action.
