EA IVzIISKATaY- BTICUIS GAYWBB Ct-ABK, I havo olten wondered why it is that pa rents and guardians do not more frequent* lv and cordially reciprocate the confidence otchildren. . How hard it is to convince a '-'child liiathis father or mother can do any wrong 1 Our little people are always our sturdiest defenders; they are loyal to the maxim that ‘*tlio king can do no wrong,”- “i-witfilH the monarchs they know are their ' parents. I heard the other ‘day, from the ' ■ lips of a distinguished physician, formerly of New York, but now living in elegant re* ■ tirement in a beautilul country town of, Long Island, a touching illustration of the truth of this sentiment. - - _ <*l have had,” said the doctor, “a good 1 'deal of experience in the long practice of .my profession in this city, that is more re -- -markable than any thing recorded in the j ‘-Diary of a London Physician.’ It would -be impossible.for me to detail to you the . 1 . hundredth part of the interesting and ex , -- citing things which I saw and heard. That which affected me most, of late years, was the case of a boy, not, 1 think,“over twelve - years of age. I first saw him at the hospi tal,whither, being poor and without parents, he had been brought to die. He wns the most beautiful boy I ever beheld. He had that peculiar cast of countenance and com plexion which We notice in those who are 1 afflicted with frequent hemorrhage of the .- lungs. He was eery beautiful ! His brow was broad, fair and intellectual; his ; eyea ■ had the deep interior blue of the sky itself; '*-• his complexion was like the liliy, linted just below the cheek bone, with a hectic, flush : t A* on consumption's waning' cheek, . ’MM nan "bloom* i!ie rose.’ . ■ xmd - his hair, which was as soft as floss silk, hung in luxuriant curls about his face.— • But; oh! what an expression of deep mel ancholy his countenance wore! so re markable that I felt certain that the fear of —death had nolhing to do with it. And I - was right. Young as he was be did not wish to live. He repeatedly said that death tjas what he most desired; aud it was truly ■ dreadful to hear one so young and so beau tiful talk like this. ‘Oh!’ he would say, ‘ let me die 1 let me die! Don’t try to save me; I won’t to die!’ Nevertheless, he was most affectionate, and was extremely t rateful for every thing that! could do for 13 relief. I soon won his -heart, but per ceived with pain that his disease of body 'was nothing to his ‘sickness of the soul,’ -•■■■:■'-■ which 1 could not heal. He leaned upon ■ ■■■ my bosom and wept, while at the same time he prayed for death. I have never seen ' one of bis years who courted it so sincere, ly. I tried in every way to elicit from him what it was that rendered him so unhappy, but his lips were sealed, and he-was like one who tried to turn his face from some thing which oppressed his spirit. “it subsequently .appeared (hat the fath — -erof this child was hanged for murder, in . B - county, about two years before. It . was the most cold-blooded homicide that had ever been known in that country. The ■excitement-raged high; and I recollect that the stake and 1 the gallows vied, with each ■ other for the victim. The mob labored hard to get .the man out of the jail that they might wreak * summary vengeance upon ■ him by hanging him to the nearest But-law triumphed, and he was hanged.— Justice, held up her equal scales with satis-, ■faction, and there was much trumpetmg forth of this consummation, in which even the women—merciful, tender-hearted wo men—deemed to-take delight. ■ “ Pereeiving the boy’s life to be waning, „‘;I endeayored one day to turn his mind to # ■■.‘-'religious subjects, apprehending.no. di.fEcul -... '-- one so young;.but he .always.evaded r- ffi'theitopic:-. Tasked him-if he had said his .• i prayers.. He* replied; . - rWQnce always— now nevei'.’ r “ This answer surprised me very much; and I endeavored gently to impress him ; : With the fact that a more. devout frame of mind would be becoming in him, and with '■'i-1 • the great necessity of tp 3 being prepared to , - - die; but ha remained silent. / -.- .“ A fewdays afterwarda Tasked him if ' • he would not permit me to send for the Bev. Doctorß., a most kind man in sick "? ness, who-would be of the utmost-service to *.;■ him in his’present situation. ■He declined firmly and positively. Then I determined ■" "to solve this mystery, and to understand this - strange phase of character m a mere child. - «My dear boy,’ said I, ‘ I implore you not io act in this manner. What can so, have .disturbed your young mind? You certain- 1 Ty believe there is a God, to whom you ewe a debt of gratitude?’ . “His eye kindled, and to my surprise— -1 might almostsay horror—l heard from lub young lips, - “ *No, I don’t believe that thereisa God!’ - . Yes, that little boy, young as he was, atheist; and he: even reasoned in a I logical manner for a mere child like. him. i : “‘lcannot believe that there is a God,’- said he; ‘ for if there were a God, ho must ~ ~hemerciful and.just; and he never, never, could have permitted my father, who - innocent, tobehangedJ.--Oh, myfath-, erl.mj father! ’ he" exclaimed, paSsion ■- .-;;fctely. burying his face in the pillow ? and-i .jibing sfiifbtsheartWouldbreak., ’I —“■“TWSSovSrcome by my emotionfbpt all ' that I could say would not change his de-' termination—he would have no minister of .

Gen.Btcltel, Slate Treasurer. Our Harnsburgh correspondent: the other day j called the attention of the Democratie Editors of.l the State to the fact,-that Gen.-Bicsn, the State Treasurer, has promptly paid, the interest on the State debt, in Constitutional-currency. Our cor respondent thinks this should be a subject of special newspaper laudation. We.are not amongst I -those who favor the idea of puffing pubhe officere i because they do their duty. The Whigs, to be i i sure, made a wonderful fiiss,. because the former j I State Treasurer, Mr. Btxc, was prompt in meeting the interest on the Slate debt; but there -is no necessity that we can see for the Democrats to [ imitate their folly. That Gen. Biokei has made | an able, efficient and prompt officer, seems to be | conceded by candid men-of all parties. In fact j he is one of the beßt Treasurers we have ever had |in Pennsylvania., The following extract from the I Pennsylvania Telegraph, the State organ of the I present administrations, shows that even the Whigs fare willing to bear public testimony to qualifies- I tions of Mr. Bickee. “Gen. Bickei has been Treasurer for the past year, and be has" so: discharged tie duties ot that important office, as to receive the approbation, of all parties. In' fact, his official: conduct' has nbt been called juto .question in. any quarten and his -capability is not disputed.” - - - Cotton.

We publish ns follows the most important I portionsof the Report: I - It iS'gratifying to the Board to be able to congrat- j nlato the stockholders on the great progress which has been made during.tho palt year, in the import-1 out work in which they are all—lncluding the cities! of Pittsburgh and Allegheny—ao much intctcatcd. I Ths gradlug and masonry of the lino; are now on. 1 1 dcr contract for n contionooe:distaneci of 000 hno. I Id red and thirty-two miles, from Pittsburgh to i Wooster, and a largo part of the work is already I completed. I | The Iron rails, chairs end spikes are purchased , I Ibr the road from Pittsburgh to. Massillon, one hon- I dred and soven miles, snd the delivery of tho Mils | upon the linohos already began. Tho.limbot for tho ( track is also under contract, and somo of it. dc- livered. Seven locomotive engine*, ten; passenger cars, and fonr baggage cars,, havo been contracted for. The Board art satUfiod that I ho interests of. the company will best bo promoted by opening tho road with a moderate equipment of first-rate machinery, bnilt by well established makers; the engines being adapted to high velocities, and tho passenger cars of tbo most comfortable character. The Board arc aware that it is highly important to tbo interests of the company that the road should, (rom tho start, have a good reputation with the travelling commo mty—and they know that the only way to acquire it, is to deserve it. Anxious as they are to open each successive ssction of the road, nt the earliest day at which <t can bo done without swelling the coat of the work, they;are still more anatons that when it shall be opened; it may not disappoint.lhe reasonable expectations of those who have invested a portion of their capital in this important improve* | moot. Great effortshave been mado to urge tho; work forward with energy, aod It Is the cspectatipn of the Board that the road will be open to Beaver and Now Brighton in Joly, and to Alliance arid Massillon in the autumn of this year. So far as tho construction of tho work ha* pro* , greased, it ha* cost less than the original estimate [ of Solomon W. Roberta, Esq., the Chief Engineer, on which the financial system adopted by the Board mi based.. Ii is intended to commence the laying of the track as soon aa the frost la eat of the ground in the spring, and to press the work forward aa rapidly ae possible. The rails aro or the lOvortedT pat. torn, in lengths of, twenty feet. Their weight is Sixty pounds per yard, and each bar weighs foor hundred pounds. They are symmetrical in their form, the inner and outer aides being similar, on ns to permit the bar to be roreroed, when it may ham worn ho ns to render it expedient. Tho pattern was designed by the Chief Engineer, who hat had large experience ip tho manufacture of railroad iron. Three thousand lons of rails, intended for the track, from Piltiborgb to Bearer and New Brighton, are under contract with Brady’s Bend Iron Compa ny, oo the Allegheny riser. The rails which they Karo already delircrcd are mannfactercd in a highly satisfactory manner. - . i Eight thousand tons of rails, for tho (rack from ■ New Brighton to AltiaocO sod Massillon, arc eon. i traded for with the borne of Bailey,Brothers & Co., i 1 of Lircrpooi, England. Three thousand Inns arc to t l be dellrcred at Now Orleans, and brought op the; I riser to Bearer} and fire thousand tons are to bo i delivered at Quebec, ond taken by the Lake to : Cleveland. Bills of Jading hare been received for . two thousand soren-hundred and filly tons of rails i shipped to New Orleans. The contract for the i ' spikes, and for the wrought iron chair-, required to \ i secure the cods of the rails, has been made with l Corning 8: Wioalow, of Troy, Now York. | Tho Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad is tho ex i tension of the Penutylvama Central Railroad wrest-1 ward-from Pltlshnrgh,into the State ofOhio, by the, best rente.

An alteration of the mode of collecting the tax is recommended, and a reduction ofdtrce tors from six to three-suggested. The main feature of the report, and that for which it is to be most commended, is the propo sition which the Superintendent makes ot estab lishing a State JlgrxaiUurat School.
