The Two Bees
Ors summer's morning fresh and sunny,
After a month of cloudless weather,
To gather in their choicest hooey
A pair of Mix set forth together;
Two loyal knaves as e'er were seen
Of the same good and gracious queen.
'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.
With richer and with rarer flowers."
So eve within the.garden stayed,
•And gathered honey all day long,
Watched by a little brighteyed
Who hawed to his joyous sotig,
And, as from flower to Bower he fie*,
(So busy. and so cheertui wool ~ .
A life-directirig lesson drew.
The other onward, onWard sailed, -
But joyless was his night and drew,
And soon his strength or spirit &ilea,
And, ail discOnsoloe and weary,.
tfccalled the gardln plot to mind
•
And 'wished that be had stayed behind.
At length, to his profonnd4ellef, '
Baste-Wafted odors the air,
And welcome glimpses, bright and Wei;
He caught Of genteel patterre
lie herded on, and,' ge In a trice,
Alighted in a Paradisel_
Row fortunate at last was he • '
Admitted to that realm of beauty!—
But languidly the weary bee • •
- Applied to his appointed duty, '
And more than once bewailed the fate
That gave such privilege sodate. :
The sequel now: At eventide,
When both the bees were home expected,
The nne cone early to the bird,
The other late, and muck dejected;
The one a precious burthen bore
The other hail' his Wonted store.
The queen, *to ruled by inborn right
' Of sense sublime and princely spirit— .
Who made it her supreme delight ,
To humble pride and foster merit—.
Stimmoned forthwith her subject-bees,
And briefly spoke in words like these
•
"Illy friends," said she, " the richest treasure
Is also oftentimes the nearest,
And, those who travel far for pleasure
WI.M find that what has cost them dearest •
Is far less precious, when 'cis earned, •
Than the cheep happiness they spurned."
Ain] men, like bees, may oft regret
The folly , of the morning hour
When with a cold and stern " Not yet,"
They hurried past the slighted flower,
Which had abundant power to bless - •
With yeari of honeyed happiness.

in this delightful month the mounts* and valleys

And here is a church where Sabbath after Sabbath

schoolhouse where science is tairght. Surely, this
must be a happy and intelligent people..

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. K. J.

Strange as it'may seem, it. is no less true,-that the
laurels of the warrior always grow on the field of
battle, where the soil is Saturated with the blood of
millions of human beings. Its roots are nourished
by the purple tide of life. The dews i,that descend
upon,it arc not those of Hermon, they ore the tears
of the disconsolate widow, and Aso helpless orphan.
The breezes that fan it are mingled .with the clangor
of arms, and the roar of earth's artilliry. The mu
sic of its rustling leaves are the sighs and groans of
the dying, Its beauties and perfections are-only de
veloped by devastation and death, by carnage and a
field of blood. Such was the . strange'nature ofAhe
laurels that encircled the btivr of KaPolcon, at the

the people the worth of their money, so he
gets up pretty extensive sermons for
.such
bot. days. Lest Sunday I eat until he got to
Ilthly, and by that, time I got as dry as a
Contribution box; so 6tepped out to get a
drink at the pump. The , meeting house is
on the corner, and the •- horsea are hitched
along on both sides. - •
.... . _
As I went out I saw something was on foot
among the nags; most of them had their ears
back, and were showing their, 'teeth, and
stamping in anything but a religious mood.
When I got my fluid down I stopped to 4 •
vestigate the disturbance among . the horses,
and as I knew horse latin, sat down on the
steps to take notes. All. were outside' the
rails and hitching posts in a paved 'gutter,
each beating a tattoo with a quartette or iron
hook which I thought would- be more profit
able for the black Smith and farrier ,n for
the owner; but as the owners were mostly
rich, it was none of my business. •
• The little Black reached his head over to
the little Chestnut and whispered something;
when the Chestnut moved' the meeting=be or
ganized, by ad - ling the' Bigliay to the chair.
This motion was carried, and the chairman
proceeded to state the 'object of the meeting
as , follows :
_
Futow-lionsts—We have,. now organ
ized ourselves into a convention for the_ pur
pose of peaceably discussing our' grievance),
in accordance with the
_republican, character'
of our inalienable, rights:* we are brought
from our stables and pastures every Sunday
to be tied up here, in this hot weather, upon
a pavement of villanons boulders, exposed
to the_ best of a ,titidpummer sun and
the bites of merciless flies. • Many of us
have not a stitch of fly net to our backs, and
all of us have been more or:less incapacitat
ed frcim praecting ourselves by having our
tails clipped to, gratify an unseemly fashion,
which neither our masters nor , mistresses
seemed disposed to honor in their outward
continuations. Besides'our check reins .are
left tied so tight that we can not bite a fly
from our shoulders, be ease our aching mos : ,
des a single minute. In view of these abiis
es, we feel that Our condition calla loudly for.
redress, and hope thi&convention will devise
some means of relief.
The Black then nominated the Chestmit as .
Secretary, which wa.sOgreed on.

The Cream Color moved a committee of
three to present a platforni for the •consider !
ti&o' it . , of the meeting. Carried, and the chair
appointed the Cream,_ the .Blaek, and the
Ronn, said Committee.
While this Committee was Consulting to
gether, the Chili called for an expression :Of
opinion from the different members of the
convention, and requested th9t each one
bring in a resolution ernbodyingAis . senti
ments; whereupon the following were"-of
fared :'
By the Deaclm's.Yellow Mare: • ' • •
Resolved, - That the merciful man is morel.
ful to his beast. Adopted.
By Old-White.
• Resolved, That every horse should be pro
vided with a fly net. • •
This was amended by the Sorrel, so as to
read :,"and that tie said fly nets should 'be
constructed:so as to protect the flanks and,
legs, as well as the'hack arid ears," , and in
this forth the resolution was adopted.
•
By the Bobtail Black
Resolved, That it, is an_abridgment of our
own natural rights to curtail us •at one end
and tie us at the other, while the flies_are suf.
fered to suck our blood. 'Carried-with much
unanimity.
By the Black Pony. •
Resolved, That these flies bite like h-1 !
Objected to by the Deacon's Yt:llow Mare
(the Pony had been brought up - in a livery
stable where his morals had been sadly rep
lected.) The little Sorrel said the Pony was
right. The old Dun thought.the language
too strong for the place, but would vote 'for
it any other day but Sunday. The Big Gray
moved to strike out all after the weld Re.:
solved and insert " that these flies have. the
faculty of causing the members of • this con
vention. rind our race generally, much pain
and annoyance . ,
At this the Pony fairly 'kicked •one leg
over the shaft, and bit a splinter from a rail.
He said: - •
Mr. Chairman, the horse just up is an old '
fogy; Igo for calling things by their right
names. This Standing up here in such weath
er is an outrage, which no Christian hOrse
could endure: Master is in there on his soft"
cushions, hearingShadrach, etc., in the fiery
furnace, that did not burn them a
we stand here in - 16 fiery furnace that does
nearly take the hair off; and are tormented
by flies to-boot! 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.' No elty'lout should harness his bone'
to ride half a smile to chi* because' his
wife's petticoats are so long-that she can not
keep them out of thsrdirt.
4th. The man 'ski keeps the check-rein'
hitched np,,' while the" horse is waiting by the
hour, ought to.go to she flace`we read of:
sth. The provisions-of the,Golden - Rule
should he construed sous to apply to — horses
as well as men.
This platform WU v3opted by a 111M111-
MOUS qeigk, and the Secretary was ordered
to furnish a copy tor every horse congrega
tion in the city for ratifieetion, with wrequest
that the subject be acted upon next Sunday.
Just then the people began to ciime•out of
the cherub. The little - Black tossed his bead
and gave the Chestnut a wicked leer. The.
Yellow Mare whinnied for her colt, tfib Puny
dumped his bit sulkily,,lint, all were - so glad
to get away' ihic they m01 , 441.01'1 . at the word,

' Harrisburg: . • .
•
Hinataintair,Ahe capital of Pennsylvania,
lies on a bold bluff on the margin of the Sus
quehanna river, ten or fifteen feet above the
strewn. 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.
