'T • hey'd not gone far when In the sir They met s wand'ring odor sweet, Which led them to a garden fide A cottage garden, plain and neat; Where pcio'r r..t hands had set Some charming beds of mignonette. And fragtant thyme thatEillmitim air With rich and delicate perfume, And roses, white and red, were there, • And dainty hollyhocks in blow, That soared majestic, straight; and tan, Like mighty monarchs over all. " Hurrah! yon garden plot," said one, `A large and laminas spoil will yluld." "Nay,""sald the other„." this brighbsun Shall tempt me farther yet afield:— Perchance to pass my morning hours.

The waters deltic , along, sending forth pleasant rippling sounds ; the birdecarol sweet ly, and the perfume of fragrant Bowers is wafted on the gentle breeze. And here is a church where Sabbath after Sabbath the pastor reasons of "righteousness,* temperance, and a judgment to come." Opposite is the white schoolhouse where science is tairght.

What is the salient on which all are conversing, and seem inter- ested? Ay ! now I hear, and the sound jars upon the ear, it is so discordant with the time and place.

AlitNaturC, thy teachings have not availed hero ; thy eloquence Is unheeded by 'the people. Teachers, who areentrusted with the young here, are you fulfilling your mission as you should ?. And, 01 Church of God, are not thy du- tics neglected? June, '1859. The queition—" how shall we board the teacher!" •has of late been atreat annoyance to School Direct ors and the friends of education; • few urging a re form on the old system of bonding around, while the majority (lie the man balancing his grist with a stone because his grandfather did) are in favor of the teacher's boarding from place to place, as he is wel comed 'or rejected by the parents of the district in which be labors. One reason urged by many for thus outdating the teacher to this barbanuul practice of "boarding around," Is that it is cheaper, which in their opinion is so much gain, while in fact they lose an.incalcula bie amount of abut training for their children that 'they might receive if the:Amber were provided with a permanent boarding place. They cannot appreciate the Chet that if the teach cr is supplied with a mm, he can prosecute- his studies; and devise plans to promote the best inter 9fbla school; but deem to be of the opinknethat he has arrived at the inennit of perfection in his profession; and aq that la necessary Is to enter the schoolroom andto over the same routine ! of sZa day after day, until tho three months have away. - • I his an erroneous idea of the taxpayers of this county that boarding at one place Is more :pensive than boarding around, for while they urea few ehil 'lings in an immediate pecuniary point of - view, they lose avast amount in the mental culture of their children ; which Solomon nays "Is better than fine gold." ' Wehairmoften heard people remark that " they had rather board the teacher than not." Wise finan ciers indeedl We would recommend them to apply some responsible otheei perhaps Secretary of the Treasury would be best suited for their great powers effmancial calculation. If they'sncieed, we doubt not that the &latices of our country would at once be restored to their wonted-equilibrium.' Why should the teacher have a permanent, board ing place? We answer, first, that he, like others, is a prugreseise being, arid needs nofortly the cultiva tion of his own mind, but untiring.application to his profession, that he may be able.- to do the best to promote the interest of bis school; these objects he cannot attain while boarding from place to place. Second, that he is responsible to God and his fel low man bow he discharges his duties in the school room, in training the youthful mind along the rug ged paths of science, and therefore must be master of his profession in ha sarimus departments. The greater share of the people think. that the , teacher is impervious to the chilling blastsof Winter, and the driving rains of Summer. ,Narty a teacher be; brought "iale.death npooltiM" "while in the morning of life, in, thus being forced to trudge throdgh - mullund rain to his boarding• place. '"His face Is pale; his check is blanched; and the spring of life wastes slimy; and he dies-" Shame! abeme to the people of Pennsylvania. It is a bore upon the common schools of Pennsylvania, and will never enable them to rise to that high de gree of perfection that is requisite to the advance. meat and prosperity of.the rising generation. Them is another idea among•the parents that the teacher's duties require a small amount of labor— , . "only staying in the schoolroom six ho a day"— this is a mistake. If the teacher...„ s _ yof the nanta;anii labors in his duties as his k .., fession re quires, he must necessarily labor incessantly from morn till night; and during.tho silent night, bright visions d'art prosperity of bin. school are brought to bear upon his mind— Few people consider the responsibility of the teacher. Through his labors nations may rise or fall. By him impressions are made upon tender hearts, that follow them through the ceaseless cycles of eternity. Friends of education, abolish this uncidliied Disc rice, this old kgyisu forever, and substitute in its stead in the school lair a provision that no qualified teacher shall be required to hoard from place. to place. Instead of strewing briers and thistles along his pathway, encourage him in his Godlike mission, raise him tort rank due to his.recation,. and maj the day soon come when the common school teacher shall occupy a station with other professions of the age. This done, the teacher Will bare an incentive to prompt idle In his labors; the common school system will awake from its lethargy; the masses will become educated; and we shall stand foremost among the catalogue of nations. - A.

I protest against Dun's milk-and-water,substitute, and_ call for the previous question on my resolution. This was seconded by the Bobtail Black, 'Little Sorrel, and Dapple Gray, and the res olution was Carried , by a large majority. The Cream announced that the committee on a platform was ready to report, tund pre sented the following: Ist. Since the horses are deprived of their natural defenses, they should be effectually secured against flies, eta, while confined in harness. _ ^ 2d: No good Christian will leave his horso tied in the sun, upon ,paving: atones, when there is a abide knd'soft ground Within fifty ya 3d.'

The houses are'built on the ,tiorth side of a wide avenue, on the opposite side Of which is ti beautiful esplanade . overlooking the rier. There is-qietween the upper batik and the edge of the etieriim directly in. front of the-town, a small enclosure, perhaps' fifteen feet square, sorrounded by, a board fence,'and having in it . two miserable-looking Lombardy poplars, touched - 'with all the squalidness of decay which chiracterizes - ,the age Of that short-lived tree. Brambles too had iprung up in the enclohre, covering Small' rising of the ground and some invisi ble emblems. ,This is'the .grave of old. Mr. Harris, for whom the town was named.' Mr. Harris was one of the pioneers , of' -Pennsylvania. He saw the country; rich and beautiful before him, and "went forth and. stood and measured' the earth" in and around the whiehtiow' bears his 'name. The beauty, of scenery, the delicate softnessiofithe -valley,tontrasting with the towering sum mits of- the mountains' around, made the - place exceedingly desirable, - So Mr. Harris . sat down on the' banks of the SasqueLanna, an *meat man ,fttnfr z habit—an honest man , from principle, and a aristian by all his ac-. tions. He had nothing Utopian in his s ieWs, nothing impracticahle in his plans. , The meitins:of the founder of the settleinent had been somewhat diminished by -en act of goodness which few-could appreciate at that ' time., A stout black man was about to , be torn from his wife, to be sent into slavery at the South. The ability of the slave enhanced his price, while, his, goodness of. heart made the ,separatiery more intolerable to him.): The wife was tree. Should she go , into volunta ry slavery in order to follow her husliend'l Aad if she did, who colild tell _her that the first inducement to therowner "to sell her hus band, might not result in a separation, which no sacrifice on her part' could prevent, nor could it mitigate the, evils. thereof. In.' this state, Pompey appealed t.i? Mr. Harris; he. promised fidelity, industry and gratitude; Mr.-Harris saw that he could prevent Mis ery, and he paid the price of the man and thus became his owner. "Massa Barris," said the delighted black, as saw the abeomplishment of his hurt's, dO "something for this by and by." - "Ntrtuit will you do, Pompey 'I" " Don't know, . mesas, but guess 'twill_coms some time or , other." Elome_time after e in the month of July, a short time 'before daylight, the inhabitants of the little hamlet were alarmed „by loud cries, And on looking abroad; -saw_ that one' bnilding-yras wrapped-4n filmes, while the wild yells of the savages told what was the cause of the danger, an left little doubt as to its intent. In two minutes more the little settlement was surrounded b 9 the Indian+. • -* a # # - # * The'saVage brew bad seized upon' the per son of fir. liarris, and dragged him;from the house to the place appointed for his torments. A stake was erected near the river, sand 'nu merous savagep were heaping around'it (plan tities of wood.' A slow lire was to - be. light ed around•him, and his dying moments were to be embittered by their , hlasphemies,, and his pains•augmented by the torments which they would inflict before the flame. should have done its work. . The signal was given, and the . men arrang ed themselvei 'between the river and the stake, and two or three sprang forward and applied their, torches to the dry wood ; slow ly the Smoke ascended, and then the blaze crept upward; while the - loud shouts of , the exulting Savages drowned the - tears and groans of Harris. ','Apply the tortures," said' the chief, and he sprang forsiard to give the example; when suddenly he pitched forward upon the fire, and the crack of numerous. rifles told whence his death had come. - • In one minute the ground was filled with Indians of another tribe, and the survivors of the invadiegbtmd were escaping. Through the mingled throng of the living, and over the bodies of the dead, - „sprang one being upon the,burning bile, and a hatthet, released the sufferer from his:, perilous posi tion, as the fire was doing the work which. the savages bad left unaccomplished. As the rescuer laid Mr. Harris on the ground, he exclaimed : • 'Hit,. Massa . Harris, didn't I toll you, great while ago, ' by andby come some time or ()deer” Pompey had escaped before the Indians surrounded the house, and . knowing the at tachment to Mr. Harris of 'a tribe ashort distance abole, and their hostility to., those who invaded the settlement, be was sure ofi aid if he could summon them in season. , The friendly Indians descended the river rapidly in their, catioes, and were in -season to save only the lives of the. whites.
