Such will remain and • be. perpetual, when those of bronze and marble shall have crumbled to ruin and decay. I The lavish expenditure of time and wealth for the costly monumental Works of SealPture and masonry; is seldom iiioniniendable.— SuchAinie and means .are far better em ployed to aid inore directly and efficiently in producing!those grander and more per manent—those imperishable', ruonunients. just-spoken - Of., But some modest; taste ful memento ;- some simple emblem of the true memorial may not-be inappropriate• nor untisefill. From the artless gPeen clad mound to the elaborate tablet and the impo?iine; 'column, and in all the varied -forms which -they hive been made td, as some, from the earliest ages to the ! pres ent day, they evince that innate desire for eontinued•existenee-,—the -desire - to, live again—a presumptive proof of itniriortali ty. • They ask the living to emulate the virtues of the departed. -As commemo rating great 'events, thevserVe as histor ic records, to enliven and deepen atach nient for cherished-and vital principles.--t-- As relates to public benetlietors, they' be token and invite `sympathy fOr the r inse that died not with the champion-. RR regards kindred mind friends, they Lare the spontaneous offerings of gra titudeiand love. Such a tribute frOin his eo-workers ers in the-field where he so zealously labdred, has to-day beefi erected to the inenkuiy.of BENJAMIN FRANKLIN TEWKSBURY, rthe late Superintendent. of _Cofinon Schools of Susquehanna county. • And this the occasion for which we-are eonvened.l E.

The 'choir then overt tired a Piece of music, after which R. 8., Little, Esq., was introduced to the audience, and. &- livered the following: . • : We, vet living—are wet by theashes of the dead; not merely to embalm midi pre servo a cleclying body--nor yet, to limn for posterity, its fashion and countenance ; but to perpetrate among us the: merhory of a brief life, devoted to others gorl. Engraved by material eares, i .ive arc j too apt to.forget their intet ests, unless they are so obtruded that we cannot easily es eape,their contemplation. This is a com mon saying. But now is this more than true, when we . feel the great throbhings of national: life--when hushed jand awe-struck; we witness this sublime strug gle of our nationality to vindicate itself, and when mighty .questions of empireqand rerclutiOn, cf order and chaoS, arc being solved, questions that involve every !ma terial interest that 'weVossess.

It al so expresses our - gratitude towards, one who tried to do us good. The occasion suggests two leading thoughts. First, of the qualities that best endear and prolong our memories among those Who live after us, and • Second, of the particular Field of useful ness occupied by him we now commemor ate. 1. The desire to be remembered after. death, is one of the strong instincts . of the„beart, which no- life of selfishness, ever obliterates.. The bad and the good alike, covet-a rememhrance after their body -is etine out of eight, and the bitterness of aeath springs mostly from its dreary: for getfulness. Men devise strange things in order to gratify this restless longing of the heart—but alas, how few know that this does not come by the'seeking. We shall niverget a grateful place in the hearts of men, by a' life of sell-seek ing and self- exaltation, however, success ful. It comes from a of toil 7 —.of sacri fice for others good. • Ministry Is the order of Providence; taught inipreSsingly "in the washing of his disciples feet.' The strong must min ister to the weak,—as We receive, so must we impart, and-our reception should be large; n order, that-our impartation may be munificent., Each must reach down a lifting hand to those next below him, and so on down to the lowest strata of human _life ; while from the top of thiS ascending , climax, beams a benigner ministry, whose compassion never tires, and whose sup plies are never less. - From all the ignor ance and guilt—fro allin the sorrow , '"and suffering of this, world, hourlY ascends the stricken cry of "help! help! and hap py is he, who car inclines to the call.— Nature illustrates this duty in 'the very laws of animal life,. •The , bird deposites her helpless yopng in that cunning nest. By what in tenons-tie is she - bound •to 'her we'ry service? why is she not tempt ed by 'the brightness of the morning—by the fragrance of the flowers, and by the 'carol of her mates, away ! away! into the glad freedom? Why is it that at even tide she so nerves her: wearied wing,when she hears from thestill distant f_ , rest, the chirpings of her own test? .i4 The law of ministry, of sacrifice makes had-life beau tiful—it makes man-life glorious. My friends, we are gathered here by the retnains ot:the departed'one; fiot to cele brate anything that 'Men call "suceetts in life"—not to speak of his surrimndin...s and honors, fiw.his life was_ simple, and to these The made no claim. But. it is be cause he toiled thr others good, and gave sacrifice in the cause of-popular education. that we rear I.Q his memory this lasting tribute of gratitude. We recall to mind how he - traveled, ofteti on foot,from school -to schrinl—how he sympathized with the little disCouraged learners—how he 'en couraged the teachers; and how he infuSed into all, a generous emulatioa and Ardor in pursuit of knowledge: •We.eannot forget' how the humble school • that had been an out of the way, eiceptional place scene of vulgar sport,. of rude disor- der, and of dreary task-work—brightened under his ministry into decorum, order, and delight. • The debris and rubbish of centuries was cleared` away from the spring-heads of learning, and their crystal waters now leaped forth glad and bright to the sun. - ' -But it was to the Cotnnion School teach ers that he rendered the best • service— raising them from a position of conscious drudgery and contempt, into one of usetul . nets and honor. We no* begin -to unf derstand that, as the office needs more of the graces of lifc,more discipline and beau ty of heart and mind, than any other; so, should it rise in appreciation and honor. Teachers, it is fitting and comely,this sim ple, but expressive monument, reared to your cause. , 2. But now in the order of my subject,l must look a moment at. common . school education, for this was the field for which our friend toiled and died. - It used, to be thought • that education came soon enough, when the pupil had attained the age and inaturity that .was supposed to be necessary, in order that be might best profit by it. But now we know that character springs up 'from the beginning of life, and that as was the seed time, So will be the harvest. As this, is the most formative period of life, so the common. school is the most : shaping and controlling agency in the - world.. The Prussians have a: wise maxim, that What ever you would have appear in a nation's life, vow must put in its schools. A peo ple having a good system of schools, wiH be a people skillful in art--fruitful in ,in vention—prudent in peace--;invincible in war, and wise in :governinent. By this is meant a complete system of education; one that concerns itself for the entire body; and all parts of the human life. Our age and country ask of its educators fora manhood, well built : and vital, manifold and harmonious, full‘, of wisdom, full of en ergy, fbll of faith. Education is hot sim ply the training of the mind, but the train ing of the man.. It does not consist Alio!- , ly in inserting facts 'in the memory, like specimens in a. cabinet, .or • like appleS dropped in an empty barrel. Of all the ,bbres to which We are subject , none : are 1 more persistent and offensive, than the men of mere memory, whO are never satis fied with discharging at you their volleyti of facts and statistics. ' The teacher has something also' to do, than merely to ccimmunicate knowledge; his profession should .extend to the faith, to feeling anittovolutiOn. - .There are figurative and subtle forces that play through the business pf , educan tion, with fine energy: There is an uncon scions tuition alwsys going on; in 'which some of the most- nutritive ; and emphstio functions oftin instructor are really being performed, while heseems least to be in structing. Mere lessons, rules,and words, 'ate but the body of beyond and above this, is en ; tiedefieed. - spiritualness; For instance,-afterall •- yon have. Paid MON'TROSE4A., THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1861. . 'ltliokkt a subject, you feel: that there': is something more you. never can say; and there is frequently a sensation of . pain at ,th'e inadequacy. of !angrier to shape and convey; perhaps also, the • inadequacy of thfpnrceptions to define that secret and nameless thopght,. which is the delicious .charm and loon% . of the subject,' as it 'hangs in robes of glory before your - mind. Where The nature is rich and the. emo tions are getierous,.there will always be a, leyerential perception that ideas :only partly condescend -to be embodied in words. So it is alwaYs found that the tru est effects of eloquence are when the ex pression suggests a region of.' thought, a diin vista ofimagery, and. 'oceanic depth. of feeling beyond what is actually von tinned in thesentences. You hear thoughts perfectly within the range of the • 'under standing, sublimely.uttered, and )-tni k . are made aware of the nearness .of a 'world, whole thoughts are more sublimely :unut tered. You have to judge. an orator .as much by what he leaves out, as by what he puts in. Nature herself, hints to us the same thing; When we are most moved it any - Way, she-prisons our souls in dumb solitude, and makes us feel the utter helplessness of our tongues. Men may chatter and laugh together i the variegited and blooming valley;but Whe they. go up - among the eternal hills of od andlook off from those solemn pills of his Heaven, an invisible hand • wilizteem -to draw tbCm apart from one pother,Another, in spiring them with a. wonder that no dia lect can articulate. Tidy may gossip in gardens of sunshine(bnt one ,roll of celes tial thunder hush& them. It was said of Lord Chatham, that ev erybody felt there was something finer in the man; than in anything he ever We-are taught,and we teach by something about us that never goes into language at all. Often this is the highest kind of teaching, most charged with moral pow er—most apt to go 4lown amang the se cret sp'rings of conduct, and most effectu al for vital . isSue.s- = because it is spiritual in its character, noisless in its ,preten sions, and constant in its operations, Ev ery science taught in the school room, has its moral relations,.and terminates in mys tery. And when you have awakened a feeling of that great truth in your pupil, .by the veneration, the earnestness, and the magnetic devotion of your own mind, •you have done him a service no less essen tial to the coMpleteness of his education, than when you have informed his mind of certain scientific facts.. For instance, ar ithmetic ascends into astronomy, and: there you are iniroduced to laws' Of quan tity that make the universe their diagram the intellectual . magnitudes of La Pla ce and Newton—to the -unsearchable empire of that -religion which feels after the God Arcturus • and Pleiades. The truth is, that in this, as all other relations with maim, the unconscious goings out of! our inner selves, through the voice, the countenance :mil the manner, will mock ' .all our outward attempts at deception:— A 'power is all tlie time acting out of us, which we - can neither see, nor control. It proves nothiMg, that science does. not de fine this' mystelions force. - There are many . fill truths connected with the mys tery of being, that lie outside of all verbal delinitioris. And the beauty of this great sympathetic force is, that it must be un conseioas„or not be at all.. We cannot exert it by the Will ; but it must go out of us without our Willing it., It alone is true to our natures, with whatever mhsk of words we may seek to diver ourselves. • Now comes the greatest -truth of all.— The measure of-a man's real influence, is the measure of his real personal merit.— The moral balance will remain.. We cad not cheat here. High opportunities, 'far exerting influence, avail us nothing—un less, in patient toil, we have educated our selves up to their level. If we would con verse with an angel ou the mountain top, he must find our tent already pitched in that upper air. 'Our real rank is taken, not by a: lucky Jam lint by a. 'life of diligence. There is. no. retrieving of a Wasted life by any fitful and strained ef fort. • Luther, Iluss, Cromwell, andWashidg-, ton, did not leap • into.. their apostleship at a bound. The roots of all their tower ing greatness ran back under the soil of years. The fixed and everlasting princi ples of character cannot be bribed or put aside to accommodate our indolence, nor to make up for Our neglect. What we sow in self dicililine, we shall reap in suc cess. What is in us will out, spite of all masks and trickle. Genuine souls tell up on the world,-and all assumption of. feel ings and powers that we do not posSess, deceives no one tout oufselves. We are watched, studied and searched • through and through, by those we Undertake to lead ; not in a jealous or malignant but in earnest good faith. In all-situations; and especially in a school, what h'inan is, is far mote than what he say's: Thu value of every person is the very value that silently and unob served, be has accumulated in his .charae ter. He stands, for the-wealth of being, that his life of effort and trial have been unconsciously storing *sway. It was said ofthe wise Greek,'Bias,"himself is the re asure that a - whole life Was gathered."— Thus stored and armed, when the occas ion comes, he can rise and triumph aaeas ily as it that-were natural tohim.

Party lines have been overleaped in this unanimity of the popu lar verdict, and the Pennsylvania specula tor stands forth in the position of one who is managing the war for the Union upon the mercantile basis of a private ,profit and loss account, without much re gard te . the public, the Union, or the mo-. mentous issue at stake: For all thii Mr. Lincoln is,reSpoifsible. lie cannot. plead ignorance of Mr. Cameron's antecedents and proclivities. It is notorious that the first shadowy intimation of the possibility of Mr. Cdmeron's beings member Of the Cabinet, inspired the very pith and ntar 7 row of Republicanism to protest in every form .against the impending outrage upon decency. Letters by the bushel, from prominent partisAns, were showered upon "Honest Old,..Abe" in virtuous and indig nant protest Against fostering this taint of death upon the new born Administration. Delegations, numerous and • respectable,• waited on Mr. Lincoln at Springfield' and Washington to forbid the bans between untried virtue and imputed wantonessi-- . - Honesty was voted, by common Consent, to be the pest policy, and in such - case it. seemed :certain that Simon - Cameron could tio4ossibly find a Cabinet seat an4%eable; Congressmen by the score jected to _his exaltation; among them, - many representatives from his own State.'
