of worthy deeds, and . duties well perfOrni

when those of bronze and marble shall

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.

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

nient for cherished-and vital principles.--t--
As relates to public benetlietors, they' be

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

in the-field where he so zealously labdred,
has to-day beefi erected to the inenkuiy.of
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN TEWKSBURY, rthe

E. P. Gardner was.then elected Secre

Rev. L. F. Porter, by invitation of) the
President, caw forward and offered hp a
prayer. 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

are so obtruded that we cannot easily es

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

terial interest that 'weVossess. '• All other
subjects conic as intruders, and arc goon
dismissed. • But even 'these . should !not

the cause of popular Wei:ldt* .=had::re- °
ceived an impulse and a-vitality, -hitherto
unknOwn. - The - thing that was dead 'was
made'ilive. • But he was stricken suddcn-
ly, aud laid away out of our sight; but his
memory is yet green; and. in • order thit
it may never fade, we, to-day, rear upon
his grave - this beautiful monument. 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;

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

• 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

that his life of effort and trial have been
unconsciously storing *sway. It was said
ofthe wise Greek,'Bias,"himself is the re

Thus stored and armed, when the occas

can ride the tempest--:not by fitful and

the men that takedestiny intotheirhands
in the crisis-periods of the world; and
after noisy and bustling pretenders have
fled away. it' Was through long :tad pain
ful seasons of fasting, and penance, and

the unconscious sympathetic forces
that 'may be accumulated in Character, by

pass, all- estimate and • all description.—
. They belong to the divinity that is within
us,, : -
But our subject divergesl l into other
aspects and relations. ,r 1 • - ,
The heart May be changed, as well as
the mind and, will.
There are moral,, as well as mental in
spirations, and the stored materials of both ,
arc" slowly hoarded in a life eftoil and eff
ort. A life of goodness and! love groivs
firmly into character that sheds its un
• spoken influence like sunbeams on all
'around. From such sources as these,
conies all the: moral light and beauty . we '
have in. this dark world. Hilt especially,
is this influeneefelt by our children, There
is somethiug very affecting in the simple .
and solemn earnestness; with which
,chil
' dren sometimes look lip Miro; the faces' of
their elders. 13) , invisible coinruunication,
they thus catch the - spirit ;and temper,
that you may suppose, ydu have' shut
back-and hidden trom thein.l Some -Pa
rents and Teachers complaiti that they
cannot control,or influence their children,
. owing, as they suppose, to their • nataral
ugliness afilisposition. It May be true
I that natural temper and dispositions , vary;
; but still no child was:ever so perverse as'
to-always resist the patient' yearnings of
parental love. - ; If from . the exhaustless
fountains of the heart, we pour over them
the all subduing spirit of ail untiring love,
,they will become plastic in our hands as
clay in Potter's, and we can mould,them
at will. Nature most be reversed before
' a child,can long rebel,.under the ;FELT in
spirationsof an Unselfish love_; not formal
and word-spoken, but sent by the donta
giotrof the heart. ;!
Finally, we ,learn from our subject that
all valuable attainments in learning, or
goodness, come, not by natural gift, but
from long andpersevering efforts. • ,
• Every tipicard-path is steep,and thorny,
and the gifted and the ung ifted must alike
tread it,-.with , weary an d -bleeding feet.
We also learn that one of the rewards
vouchsafed us; on the way, is; that iu the
exact proportion that our own being and,
character gather richness, will beams - of '
unconscious influence radiate from us, - to
cheer and strengthen the weak and sorrow
ing.. And still further, that every et
tempt at disguise, imitation, or assump
tion, is vain and abortive. -
But after all, our best rewards come
not in this life; Every benef i cent worker
ill the harvest-field of Time, feels groWing
upon him, day by day, asense 'of -weari
ness, ,a secret.homesickneSs df 'the heart;

Since the leading Administration papers

the Cabinet, we suppose it permissible for
to air our Own opinions without being
deemed i quernlous or' hypercritical, 'lt
seems tq us particularly unfortunate that
at this crisis of national affairs—our grand
climacteric so to speak—we should beat
the mercy of men whose incentives.to

ertion have but the single deficient of sel
fishness - and individual advantage: Public

overleaped in this unanimity of the popu

tor stands forth in the position of one
who is managing the war for the Union
upon the mercantile basis of a private

mentous issue at stake: For all thii Mr.
Lincoln is,reSpoifsible. lie cannot. plead

first shadowy intimation of the possibility
of Mr. Cdmeron's beings member Of the

row of Republicanism to protest in every
form .against the impending outrage upon

prominent partisAns, were showered upon

seemed :certain that Simon - Cameron

But all was vain. The wily tactician Was
