of the 'school. The time which, other

. DEATH IN °SCHOOLROOM!.
"Tinya-ling-ling-ljng !—went the, little
bell on the-teacher's desk ' of a village
school one morning, when the_ Studies, ; - or
the early part of the day 'were abdut half
completed. It was well nhderstood. that
this was-a command Thr silence and 'atm.
bon ;`and when these had been obtaihed,
the master spoke: _lle was a., Joiv' thick
set nians-rand his name was Lugare.
" Boys," said - le, " Iliave had a
of you
entered, that last night some of you
were stealing fruit from. Mr. Niehol's gar
den. I rather think I know the thief.-- 7 -
Tim Baker, step up here, sir." • - ...
The one to whom be spoke ,came for
ward. • .He*tts a slight; fair-looking .boy
of about, fourteen; and his face had alatigh:
ing, good-humored expression,whicheven
the charge now praerred against lrim,and
the stern tone and threatening look Of the
teacker,liad -not entirely dissipated: The.
countenance of the boy; ho'weveV was too
unearthly fairfor . health; it had,'notwith
standingits.fieshy, cheer - 10'1°6k, it singu
lar_east asif some inward disease,and that
a fearful- one, were seated within. As :the
stripling_stood before that Place 'Ofjudg
ment, that, place, so often made the scene
of heartless and coarse brutality, of timid
innocence confused, helpless ,childhood
outraged, and gentle feelings crushed,—
Lugare.looked on hip with a frowd which
plainly told that he felt in nu Very,pleas
antmood: . Happily a worthier_aml more
philosophical system is -proving to men
that schools can be better governed than
by lashes, -and tears and sighs. We are
waNingtoward that consummation when

and his many ingettiositiethods of child

memento of an igtrorantv-eruel,,'and: ex

" Yes, -sir," .inswered & • the boy;'" I

sNrrn glad tb' find'. you , so
romly with. yOur.conrnsiion. And so you
thought you could do a littleobbery,and
enjoy yourself in a manner you .ought .to
be ashamed tkeWn, without. being "punt'-

ished, did you ?" .
"I I ha've not been robbing , " replied the
boy . quickly... llis faCe was

'difficult to tell. And I. didn't' dO any-

"" No impudence!" exclaimed the teach:
er, passionateltir, , aS Cie graspeda long and
heavy ratan "'give ine none of 'four sharp
speeches, or Pll .thrash you 'till you beg
like a dog." = _
The youngster's flee paled a little ; his
lip quivered,: but he did , not:speak.-4 •
;:And:Pray . .iir," continued I:,tigare, as
the-outward:sign - S.or ' . wrath :disappeared

the garden fox:? Perhaps you only re=
delved the plunder, and - had an ae;cOm;

" I went that way because it is -on my
road-home. .I was. there again afterward's
to meet an ttelpaintaueoilond—=and—But
I did not pinto - the:garden; nor take
anything away from it. I would-not steal,
—hardly to Save MySelf from starving.r.,
." You had better have stuok to that last
evening. You Were seen, Tim Baker, to
come from under Mr. Nichol's garden
fence; a little after nine o'clock, Vith a
bag,thil: of something or other, over J your
shoulder. The...bag had every appearance
of being filled' fruit; and this' morn
lug the ,: melon-beds are found to have
been completely cleared. NOAV,.sir, what
was therein the bag 1 )1 ',
.Like..fire itself glowed the face of the
detected. lad. He spoke not a word. All
i 'the school had their eyes directed at him.
j The perspiration ran down his white, fore
head like rain drops.
" Speak,- sir !" exclaimed Lngare, with_
j a loud strike of his ratan on the' desk.
.
The boy loOked. as ,
though he would
faint. But •the unmercifid teacher, confi
dent ,of hav ; ing - brought to light a - Crimi
nal, and exulting in the idea of the severe-.
chastisement he- should' - now be justified
in inflicting, kept working himself up to a.
still greater and greater degree:ofpassion: ,
In the meankime,,the child; seemed hardly
to know-what to - dobirnself. His
tono•necleaved-to . the roof ofhis mouth..
Either he was very much frig,h'tened, or
be was actually unwell. - - •
" Speak, I say !' again thundered . Lu
'pre-; and -his hand grasping his : ratan,
tow- red above his head luca very
cant manner.
"I hardly can; sir s " - said the poor-fellow
faintly: His.voiee was husky and thick:
" I will. tell you dome—some
Please to let me go to, my seat-4 ain't
well."
" Oh yes; that's very likely;" and' Mr.
furgare bulged -orit his nose and cheeks
with' contempt. ," Da yenthink to make
me -believe your lies? . I've found you
our, sir, plainly enough ; and I" ant satis
fied that-you are. a preeions little' villain
as there is in"the7atate. But I will post
pone.settling with you for an:lraur
I shallthen call you kw again '• and iCyon
don't tell the - whoietru.h then, I will
give you something that'll make you re
nierubet:Mr: Nieltord metans for many a.
month to come :—go to your seat."
Glad enough of •the. ungracious permid
sion,.and answeriug not a sound,. the child
crept trembling to - his bench. - He' felt
Very strangely, dizzily—chore as if he wad
'in a dream than in real life ; And laying
his lulus on his desk, bowed down bid face
between them. The pupils turned to their
accustomed stridies, for during the ,reign
of Lugarein the Village-school, they had
been so used to scenes of violence .and'se-
Vere chastisement, thnt-such things made.'
but little interruption irk the tenor of their
way. ' -
'Now; While the intervening hour is
passing, we -will clear up the- -mystery 'of
the hag, and of young Baker being under
the garden-fence-on the pre - eeding night.
The boy's mother was a widow, and ,they
both had to live in the narrowest limits: ,
RN father bad died - when-he wag six years
old, and little Tim was left - a sickly, ema
ciated infant Whoin no one : expected to
'live many months. 'To' the surprise of all,
however ; the poor little child kept alive,
and sLeeined to recover his health, as he
certainly did his size and good looks.—
This was owing to the kind .offices of an
eminent physician who had a country-seat
in the neighborhood
,and who bad been
interested-in the widow's little
Tim, the physician said, might- possiblY
outgrow his disease ;-but everything was
uncertain- It -was a -mysterious -and
affiing mal a dy; and it. would not be. won
derful lf be should in some moment of
apparent health be suddenly taken. away.
The poOr. widow was at first in a continu
al state of uneasiness ; ',but- several years
hid now passed and none of the..impend
ingevils had fallen upon the boy's 'head..
His mother seemed to feel confident that
he Would live,. and be khelp and an hon
or to her old age ; and the Oro' struggled
an together,mutually happy in each other, -
and enduring much of poverty and dis- -
cornfort,without repining, each ler the
other's sake.
Tim's pleasant - disposition had made
hito.inany friends:- in ..the village, • and
amongst the rest a'yenng" farmer narned
Janes, who with his elder brotheriworked
a largeTirmin the neighborhood on shares.
Jones very frequently made Tim a-pres
ent'of a bag of•potatoes or corn,.Oi• some
garden vegetables, *Nell: he took'from
his own Stock; but as his partner was :a.
.parsimonious-, high-temperedLman, • and
had often said that Tim was an idle'. fel-.
low;'and ought not to be helped beeause
he did not work; .Joneif , generally made
A
his-gifts.n such Umaimer that - no one
knewanything about them except hiMself
and.the grateful object of his kindnesS. It
inight• be,. too, that the widow was loth :to
have it understood by the neighbors.Ahat
she received: food from anyone ;,for there
is often an excusable pridel in people -of
her condition:which makes:them - shrink
from being considered an object Of "'char
ity" as they
.wmild from:. the - severest
pains. , On the night in question,Tim had
been that,Jones:mou/4 'seiid• Ahem a

was one little fitte4 , .for' , hit; important
and responsible office. Hasty -to-decide
and inflexibly severe, he was the terror of
the little world he ruled so especially.--
Punishment' he seemed to , delight - in. -
'knowing little of those 'sweet
_fountains
Which in children's brieasti ever open
quickly at the call of gentleness and kind
words, he was feared by all for his stern
ness, and loved by none. I would that

it was usual for Lugare to giVe'his - School

himself behind his' desk on the 'platform;
with, his longest and.stoutest ratan before
him: 7it
" •Now Baker °lie said, " we'll settle
that little business of you Ts. Just step up
here.",
Tim did not move. The se:hool .room,
was as still as- the grave. Not - a sound
was to be heard; except occasionally a
long drawn breath.
"Mind me, sir ; or it willbe the worse
for you. Step uphere, and take off your
jacket !' •
The boy did not stir any -More than if

with passion. • Ile,kat still a minute • as if
considering the best way, to wreak ,his

" Tito ikasleep, sir," at length said one
of the boys who.:sat near him. . _
Lugare, at this intelligence, allowed his
,features to relax from their expression of
savage anger into a-smile, but, that smile
looked more malignant, if possible, :than
his former scowls. It might be, that- he
felt !pleased at the horror depicted : on: the
faces of those around him ; or it might be
"that he was glowing With pleasure on the_
way in .which he intended - to wake the
poor little slumberer.
"Asleep ! are you, my • young gentle
man ,!: let as see if. we can't . find some ;

;-Lagare smiled again as he: made the
last observation. He-grasped his ratan
firmly; and descended • from his s.eat.. 7 -- ,
. With light and - stealthy Steps; - he crossed
the room, and Stood by the untuCky sleap-!

The Journal mentions the, following as
one of the objections urged against the
Col►scription Jaw : • -
•
That, it takes from the State authorities
the right to commission officers to com
mand the drafted men. •
And proceeds to answer it as -fol..
lows :-.,,'
"It is undeniably in the power .of 'the
President, as commander-in-chief, to'
make such disposition of the-drafled men
as he pleases. This power is necessarily -
inherent in his office. But it does not
follow that because be has _this 'power
that he will exercise it,'or beedlessly.take
from -the o.overners of the. States any, of
the peerogatives they now . have, and
whiehhive been hithertp exercises with
unquestioned prudence and patriotism—
Thispower,.like others,conferred by the
bill, will be used discreetly; and wedoubt
not to the entire satisfaction of the - State
authorities." , : ' - -.

As to the first point Made by the Jour
nal—the power ofthePreSident--the Con
stitution expresslyreserves " to the StateS
.respectively °the - appointment of - .the-,
officers." -
.•
As to the secondpoint,that the liresi- -
dent nifty not exercise this sower - of; ap
`pointing officers—the Conscription la*,in '
no way recognizes the rights of .GoVeri3- ,
ors to-appoint the officers, butt On - the
a •
contrary provides that all persons -I draf
ted shairbe assigned by the ,President to
military duty insuclreorps, regiments or
other branches of the service ,as: the 'exi:,
geneies of the service mayrequire.
The
President is placed in a strait: be
tween
ths Constitution and the--Conscrip
tion act.. The first gives to the States the
appointment of officers—the last. evident- - '
ly contemplates taking that power ; from.
the States and assigning the- nip, by di-,
