For the following opinion, given by the Supreme court of Penniylvania, with regard to a Land ease in this County, we are in debted to the Pennsylvanian, and publish it for the information of oUr readers: Sin inpAr et 'al Rolitits et al. Opinion of the Court, Black, C. J. A warrant. for 445 .neres and Mt perches., issued from the' Land Office in the name of Sophia Rfever, on the sth of May, 1791. A sur vey was made, including the land in dispute, on the sth of January, and returned on the 10th of Febru ary, 1705. On the 10th of March,. 1501, Sophia Meyer conveyed to Cumberland Huitan, by dccii poll. of that date; and a patent Wag ISSUed . to !Ni ger* the Ist of October, IS02:. It appears, from the letters and vouchers in the Land °dice, and the daysbook of the Receiver General, that this•war. rant and thirty-five others were paid for by the ap plication of credits, which Peter Benson had on the hooks of the office for lost warrants surrendered.± The plaintiff's claim under Benson, Whose heirs, on the 18th of April, 1838, conveyed the Sophia Meyer tract, and five others, on which the pur chase money was paid by their father, at the sane time, and in the same way, to Henry K. Strong, for the consideration of one dollar and servieus rendered. Mr. Strong conveyed certain undivided partslo the other Vaintiffs. The plaintiffs assert their right to recover dire' Benson, for whom, they allege, that the holder of the legal title is but a trustee. The defendants, withoutiretending to be the owners of the patent, rely on it, as showing a fatal weakness in the title of their adversaries, EMI It is the law of England and of Pennsylvania, that where one buys land,'and pays for it with his owa money, but permits the conveyance to he 'made in the oriole 4,Af another, a resulting tru-t aris es in favor of him who paid the purchase mut ; and the, nominal grantee holds the tend as trustee for the teal purchaser. This principle is applicable, as well to the purchasers from the Commonwealth, as 16 conveyances from One private individual to another. The person, whose name is issued as , a warrantee, is a trustee for him who tool; out the warrant and paid the fees and purchase money. ' Yeates, 166. 2 Yeates, I 19. A resulting trust of this sort may be established by proof. even in direct contradiction of a warrant. patent or deed; and esti may he proved, so it may he contradicted by the same species of evidence. In the present case the plaintiffs had a right ,to sheW, by any legal evidence within their power, that Benson had paid the purchase money ; and they did prove it by the blotters, vouchers, &g., usually relied on in old eases. It was proper, alto, to permit the defendants to prove that he did not make the payment for himself, or on his own ac count, but as agent for Sophia Meyer, or somediridy else ; and tiny circumstance, winch would throw light on .the transaction, or explain its true churac- BEM ter, ought to have been received. - After'the extracts from the books in the Land Of fice had been read, and some evidence had been given by the defendants, tending to show that Ben. son i liad acted as a mere agent in paying for this ann- - other warrants, the defendants offered to prove that Benson, who was a clerk in the Land Office, and a man of very little property, was eredited; on the inane books with the purchase money of Ofili warrauts in the old purchase, amounting in the ag gregate to more than 5t2,000, and"th• he never laid claim to any one of the tracts, but on the eon trark suffered them, in many cases, while he was still in the oak., to be patented to other persona— This ought to have been admitted. That a man iu moderate circumstance should have paid this large sum of money, on his own account, without' after wards giving any attention to the immense estate, which he had thus acquired, is incredible.. It can on'y be accounted for by supposing, that in making these n u merous and heavy'payments, he was act ing as the agent of other persons. The Court re ceived, and submitted to the - jury, the testimony . of Wallace, ttißt Benson was in the habit of receiving fees and transacting business for people in, the Lana Office. If the facts•set out in the first and fourth bills of exception had filso been adMitted, they would have gone one step further, and shewn, that it was his custom, in paying money for his employ er* to take credit on the books in his own oame; :Ma from this the argument would have been leg* liMate and fair, that the 'entry in the present Case Was made in the tame way. . - The testimony of Mar'sliall which was permitted by the Court, and forms' the seem' bill of excep tion. was to eircumstanees too remote to be sale. evert if the means, proposed to establish them,; had been legal. The pecuniary condition of Benism at the date of the warrant was important, to be sure ; but that is not to be sworn by proving that his Chil dren, more than forty years nfierwards. had clitims to land in several counties of the State. The mort gage for lands sold in Westmoreland by the elder Benson, m Ins life time.•might have been evidence to,reliut the proof which the other side had given of this property, if it had been produced. But I see mithing in the case to justify the admission of se condary evidence. when the primary might have been had. The letter front Benson to Potter. dated in 1801. Win properly committed. It is not nece,nsary to produce the title papers of a mun's property, when the object merely to prove hi. cwcumstanci.S.— aenertil acts of ownership are sinticiimt. A letter requesting an agent to pay taxe. for land. may be very ,light evidence, even for t.tielt a purpose —, but it is adiniAsable. The evidcnce contained in•the filth hill of excep tions wa ,, rightly rejected. It consisted of agree ments and letters. between Meyer, Young and Du gan. The parties to these contracts, and those who carried on the correspondence, were bound 'hy what they contained. But .to Benson; and those claiming under him, were its burr ahoy arm.. Before we consider the main mitts. on which the charge of the Court below is objected to. it may be well to recall the evidence which is said to es tablish trust in favor of Benson, and the circum stances, confirmatory, and intermatorv. which go to support and overthrow it. John Reble's blot ter and other books in the land otlice, show that Benson was charged with the price nf this warrant and that he paid it. This blotter was never con sidered a record', and certified copies were not ad mitted in evidence, until the act of 1923 was;pass. ea for that iiurpose (nation 427.) Previously to that time, the entries were proved and adMitted as private papers, (8 W., 112 ) The Act Of As- ACIIIbIy did not change their nature, as evidence, but only furnished a more convenient means Of get ting them -before courts and juries. They were admitted before and since 1893. apparently upon the rule which admits other private memoranda of deceased persons in evidence, where they were against the interest of the person making them.— Rut lOng experience Of their accuracy has given them a credit, which no other unofficial hooks have received in our courts Still, they constitute but parol evidence, and are not conclusive proof of any. thing. That warrants were frequently said, by those books, to have been' paid tor by persons, who did not actually advance the money, except asiagents no one can doubt; and the fact has been open proved. The defendants attempted to prove it here. [hey showed that Benson was a clerk in. the land office. Clerks were at that time in the habit Of acting as agents to an extent which grew into a great evil ; and the year afterwards; a law was passed to forbid them, (Purr'. 732.) An aged wit ness was called, who remembered Benson. and knew that he transacted more liii)-iness, as 'agent, than any of the other clerks. He died hi 1801, leaving scarcely any personal property. He paid the purchase money on a great number of other warrants, yithout allerwards perfecting the- titles. . The certificate of the Receiver General, that the purchase money was paid on the Sophia Meyer warrant. WWI in the usual torn, without any men tion of Benson's name, and does not appear even to • have been in bin possession, but was found among certain title papers which John Meyer had delivered to both Bever and John Meyer, and nor PA:11140II. Meyer handed in the application for the Sophia Meyer and nine other tracts, on all of which the purchase money Is marked in the blotter as paid 1 by Benson, but on none of themabil he ever take out, or apply for t patents. The upplicat ion is mark ed as Meyer's, and is in his - hand .writing. The party who undertakes to establish a remit:- Mg trust by parol evidence, takes the , burden of proof upon himself. ' He claims an estate in land, nal, only without a deed, but in opposition to the vigitten title. Rec o rds and deeds are not easily overthrown, as is Manifest enough from the strin gent rules, which this Court has 'Alen laid down, to cases of parol sales. '• The whole doctrine ofre stilting trusts is a Violation of the sound principle, on which the statute of frauds is based ; and ought not to lie favored. except where the trust originated in the bad faith of the nominal purchaser. The ex tension of it to cases, in winch the nistui sue tru..f. has voluntarily placed his rights' in such a vondi lion, that he can only establish them by parid, is of doubtful policy, and, like other uepartures from the statute of ft aUds; has, probably, done more mis chief than it has ever corrected. For these rea sons, it is more than doubtful, if any Chancellor: upon the evidence which the case presents, would decree specific execution of the trust, supposing the facts ,to be recent, and time no element m the decision. It may be, indeed, that the freimem use, which was made 'in early times of the names of persons as warrantees, who were not the real owners, for the purpose of evading the laws against engrossing the public lands, entitles this peculiar kind of trust to, more than ordinary favor. Cer tiiiig, that the blotter has been allowed to de cide very many disputes, in favor of the person by 'whem it showed the money to have been paid, but never, irkany case that I know of, where the evi ! deuce °regency Was as strong as it is here. The primpel gni:lotion yet remains to he noticed. t „,..e The dere ants insist that the great length of time which chi . d atter the date of the warrant, andbe fore any aim was made under Benson, raises a presumption of law, which is conclusive against the title derived from hitu. ,It is true that the transaction which creates the contest between these parties, is entirely too old to be investigated now, with the, slightest hope of ascertaining the truth. It is impossiblelor us to feel an confidence in the evidence which can be rumiste) by men - of these times, concerning occurrences so remote.-- Fifty-two years went round, between The time when the purchase money for this land was paid, and the banging ankle atilt. During all that time, O.°URH L,..: GENERAL ADVERTISER. neither Benson, nor.his heirs, nor anybody else de. riving title from him, made any claim to the land nor paid taxes ter 11, nor exercised any act of own ership over it ; nor manifested the least sign of con sciousness that they had a title to it: We are now asked to determine the rights of the parties, on such• lams as can be tithed up from the oblivion of more than half a century.

We have us little power to read the ashes of burnt papers, or call dead witnessesfrom their graves to testify in a dispute about business transacted by the land jobbers of the la..t century, as we would:have it the coutroversy was on any other' subject.

A sale of warranted land for taxes,-though irregular apd void, if the warrant hot- der had made early oppositinp, becomes a perfect. title after an acquiescenee of liwenty-one yearsi (17 SS: It 350.) Payment of taxes. for twent years, is a presumptive evidence of a conveyance from the warrantee. (I W 5, 3'24.) A survey, unimpeached for twenty-one years, is conclusively presmned to- have peen regular; (2 W. 390, 1 W S, and that, even when there is an unexecu tell order of re-survey by the Board of _Property. (1 Ban, 07 ) In short, - the courts of this State seem uniformly, (and especially of late,) to have refined to go back more than twenty-one years, to settle any difficulty about the issuing of warrants or pat ents, or the making or. returning of surveys, or the payment of purchase money to the Commonwealth. These questions, hike others, are disposed of ac cording to the legal presumptions, which arise trom the !apse of time. The tunic, which raises a pre -summon, which will ail nn an interest in 'land, is twenty.one year:; W S.: S. 2971 and this pre sumption, tin repelled will defeat any claim, that is set up against it. It is very clear, therefore, that. the plaintiffs' title is either establis hedl beyond all dispute, or else made utterly' worthless by ale lapse of time. Ei ther the trust resulting to Tnson frdin the pay ment of the purchase moil : is extinguished, or the title under the patent must be-wholly lost to those who claim it. Both these titles cannot exist now, in the vigor they had fifty years ago, and de- mand a decision between theriton their original OEM The plaintiffs contend that the presumption ought not to be against them, since the patentee has not, any more than themselves, either taken possession of; or paid taxes for, the land. Cumberland Du gan did not, from the date of the patent, (hor did his friends.) make any open claim to the land, nor pedorni any 01 the clinics whielt,'as owners of it they were bound to perform. until 1817; when they brought an ejectment against the occupants of the land, which seems to be still pending. But it must be remembered, that the conveyance of the warrantee, and the patent from the. Commonwealth gave him the legal title, and he was in possession by construction of law. Actual possession would not have made his right any stronger as against another claimant, who was not himself in possess ion his title, on the face of it, was as perfect as it could be made. lie needed no judgment or decree of any Cpurt to make it better. It was tint necessary nor prrisib!e for lug to bring a suit against Benson, or his heirs, or aftenees, to estab lish that his legal estate was free from the trust which the plaintiffs assert it was Maimed with.— His non-payment of taxes is proof that he was not a very- good citizen but that is a default, tbr which his title could only be divested by n trea surer's sale. On the other Imad, Benson nod his heirs had a claim resting in pato', and if they. knew or believed it to be just, it was their base nes. to make it appear. To demand-of the restin que tries!, under the cir cumstances of this ease. that lie should _establish Ins claim before a judicial tribunal, within a rea sonable time, or lose it. is complained of as a hard. ship by the plaintiffs. They say, that ,no bill in equity can be tiled for want of a court having, chancery jurisdiction ; and that an ejectment could not be brought. because nobody lived on the land. The answer is, that they might hate• taken pos %ession of die premises., and compelled the other party to imminence proceedings: They reply that possession ought nut to he required. because thie land is not tit for cultivation. and the coal has been but recently discovered. This, when put in plain er words. means that the property was not thought to be worth looking after until lately; Which is precisely the mason that may he given by almost every man who neglects to prosecute his right to real estate. But it has never yet been received as a sufficient excuse, and never ought to*. Besides, Benson, if the land was really his, might at least have filed a caveat argument on the issuing of the patent, or demanded a conveyance afterwaads. The opinion of Mr. Justice Kennedy, itt vs..Corrycll, [5 W, & S., 60] was Much relied on, as shewing that a patent, fraudulently obtained. will be of no avail against the true owner. That case was essentially different in all its features from this one. There, the party claiming against the patent had not only. paid the purchase money, forlum.elf, and on his own account, but had the conveyances of the nominal warrantees. Time had raised no presumption against him ; tor the suit had been brought within much less than 'twenty one sears.. 'Coney vs. Caxton, 14, Bum. 1.19,1 and Bitter vs. Baker. 14 Bum, 219,1 are still hew :othe purpose. It is also insisted, that Dugan obtained the patent by a fraud upon some children. The heirs of Ben son, at the time of, his death, were respectively of the ages of ten. eight and three years ; bin when the suit was brought, they were titty-seven. fitty4 five and titty. Their minority at 'the time the pa- I tent issued, would not justify their inaction after the disability was removed. An equitable claim to ' • land, founded on fraud. is of all other', the sort of claim which ought to be pursued before time has I rendered explanation intpossible. [2, Sell. Lk.' Le- I . frog, 733.1 Another argument, much pressed, is that Ben son's payment of the purchase money gave him such a use of the land. as became immediately ex ecuted by tome of the statute of uses; j 27 Hem. VIM,' that lie, or his . heirs, became invested With the legal title, as soon as the patent pasted it from the .Commonwealth—that, having the legal title. they were constructively in possession, and that the presumption from lapse of tune is, therefore, not against them, but in their favor. The infer- . enees are logically drawn, but the premises are not true. An implied trust is not within the statute of uses. Where the use is expressly and immediate ly limited on the legal estate, it will ba executed in the restui gut use; but a use, limited on a use,will • not be. [22. Vin. Ahr. 268.1 Where the trust is expressed in the deed winch creates the legal es tate. the trustee cannot set up the statute of limita tions, either at law or in equity, against hiS eestui que trust, any more then a tenant for years can do against his landlord; and for the same reteson; namely, because it would be claiming in opposition to the titie, by which he himself holds. But here the warrant, deed poll, and patent purport to 'give Dugan the legal, as well 'as the equitable, title for` his own use; and that of his heirs and -assigns.— They do not, on their face; require hint to hold it for the use of Benson. If there be anything in pais, and outside of the written title, from which a trust of the land results to Benson, such a trust can be executed in no other way than kv• the voluntary conveyance of the_ trustee, or by a decree in Chan: eery, or (whatia , eqinivalent here) a judgment in ejectment. Where a party is, prima fitrie, the owner ofland in his own right, and is to be turned into a trustee by matter of evidence, all presumptions are against him who alleged himself to be, retur n i que trust;and if he withholds his evidence until it becomes ob scure and unintelligible, he must learn the crinse quer/toes of his own delmilt. This,4hen, is the edge of an' ejectment, brotight as a substitute for a bill in equity, to declare the holders of the-legal title trustees of Benson, and to compel the execution of the trust. • [8 S.A.' R. 4 W. & SA The transaction supposed to be set forth in the bip, as the orig in of the trust, was doubtful at first,.if we cat be supposed to know any thing about it from the evidence before us; it was fifty two yeah: old when the bill was' filed; and there was no intermediateacknowledgment of the trust by one patty, and no assertion of it by the other,— A decree, in such a case, could not be-pronounced in favor of the plaintiff, Without running counter to all precedent. Cciurts of equity will not listen to claims so old that they would be barred at law by the statute of limitations.

[3 Johns Ch. Rep. 1'29,1 and Judge Story, Equ. pl. 529,1 ought to be sufficient for the purpose- It follows from what I bare said, that where a warrant is issued to one person, and the purchase money is paid by another, andlhe patent is after wards taken .out by .the nominal warrantee, the right of him who paid the purchase money is gone, unieSs be takes possession of the land or brings ejectrnent to recover it, within twoutptine pare from the date of the warrant ; and alley that lap , e° of time he cannot • recover, no matter' how clearly he may be able to prove that the legal owner:waS: in the 'beginning, a trustee for him. In such cases the maxim, amnia presuranntur .‘itt,,esse asps, applied to the proCeedings of the Land Odice; and the presumption of law is conclusive against all rights,*which do not appear on the f.ice el the Com monwealth's grant: Evidence of purchase monev paid by the plaintiff, as the ground work'of his title, oiled to be rejected by the Court, if ihe date 01 the payment be more t han tWenty-one years before suit brought, unless it be accompanied by*an offer to' prove such acknowledgments on the par t o f th e ,warrantee, as will take the race out of the rule here laid down: What acknowledgments would be sialicient (or that purpose is a point , not raised here. When I say that the suit must Is' brought within twenty-one wah from the date of warrant, I speak of. a case like the present one. in which the alleged trust is proved'by the naked and solitqy fact of the payment of purchase money. Where the rest ni pre trust has superintended the survey and paid the odieer's fees or exercised other acts nt ownership over the land; the presumption in favor of the• trustee would'lterhaps not begin to arise until lie did some act of hostility, such ai sellinghis title or taking out a patent to himself We have come to this conclusion with the deli beration which was demanded-by the interests of the present parties, the rights of those who claim under the numerous other warrants paid-for by the same . person, and the importance of the general question. The cause was twice argued with great ability, once before all the Judges, and afterwards again, in the absence only-of him, whose death we have since been called to lament, From; the first no member of the Court felt that the judgment could be sustained; and all the stir - Vic - ors now con cur in the opiiiion, that its 'renewal is demanded alike by precedent and principle.

The stone itself is of the ordinary size, but the spoons are so small that their shape and,finish can only be well distinguished by the microscope. Here is the result of im mense tabor for no decidedly useful purposes• and - there are thousands of other objects in the world, fashioned by ingenuity, the value of which. in ft Utilitarian sense, may be quite as indiffercat. Dr. Oliver gives an account, in his Philosophical Transactions, by the way, of a cherry stone on which was carved one hundred and twenty-four heads, so dis tinctly, that the naked eye could distinguish. those belonging to Popes and Kings by their mitres and.crowns. It was bought in Prus sia for Sl5OO, and thence conveyed to Eng.: land, where it was considered au object of so much value, that its possession was dispu ted, and became the subject of a suit in chan-. eery. This stone Dr. 0. saw in 1657. In more remote times still, an account is given of an ivory chariot, constructed by Merme odes, which was so small, that a fly could cover it •witla his wino also of a ship of the same material: which' could he hidden with the wing of a bee ! Pliny, too, tells us that Homer's Iliad, which is fifteen thousand verses, was Written in so small a space as to be contained in a nut-shell: while Elia men tions an artist who wrote a distisch in letters of gold, and enclosed it in the rind of a ker nel of corn. But the'Harren MS. mentions a greater curiosity than any of the above: it being nothing mote nor less than the Bit•le, written by one Peter Bales—a chancery clerk —in so small a book that it could be-enclosed within the 'shell of au English walnut.-- D'lsraeli gives an account of many othersim ilar exploits to that of Bales. There is a drawing of the head of Charles H in the Li brary of St. John's College, Oxford, wholly composed of minutely written characters, which, at a small distance, resemble the lines of an engraving. The head and ruff are said to contain the briok of Psalms, the Creed and the Lord's Prayer. Again. in the British Musebm is `a portrait -of Queen Anne not much bigger thanthe hand. Ou this draw , ing, are a number of lines and scratches. which, it is asserted, include the entire con tents of a thin folio. SALT AS A LAXATIVE Here is what the Western Journal of Med icine and;Sonzery says about common salt as a useful and Mild_ laxative Without any experience in regard to the feb rifuge powers of the chloride of sodium, we can speak with great confidence of its effi cacy in habitual constipation: Of all the lax atives we have ever tried, we have found this to net most pleasantly. uniformly and naturally. \Vhere the only object is to dis lodge the contents-of the bowels, it is all that physician or patient could desire. Dyspep tics, sedentary persons, the subjects of hem orrhoids, all, in a word, who are troubled with costiveness, will find tlie remedy a mild and sure ecphratic, emptying the bowels freely, w,itficiut nausea, irritation or exhaus. tion. We direct it to be taken before break. fast, from two to three drachms, dissolved in two or three tumblers of cold water, The same dose continues to act from year to year without diminution of effect. A MODEL SPEECH The following is an extract from a speech of General Buncom, in favor of 54,40: " Mr. Speaker—When I. open my eyes, add look over this vast expanse of country— when I see how the yeast of freedom has caused it to rise in the scale of civilization ;and expand on either side—when I see it growing, swelling, roaring likea spring fresh et—l cannot resist the idea, sir, that the day wilt come when this great nation, like a young schbol-boy, will burst its straps, and , becotne.;entirely too big for its boots. Sir, -we want elbow-room—the continent, the whole continent, and nothing but the conti nent—and we will have it. Then shall Un cle' Sam; placing Ins hat upon the Canadai, rest his right arm upon. the Oregon coast, his left upon the eastern sea board, and whii- Ile away the British power, while reposing Ins leg like a freeman upon Cape Horn.--- Sir, the day will come--the day must come." trj --- "CiTANCE FOR MARKET.--" My dear, what shall we have for dinner to-day ?" " One of your smiles," replied the husband, " I can dine on that any day." " But I can't," replied the wife. ".Then take this," and he gave her a kiss and departed. He re turned to dinner. " This is excellent steak," said.he: " what did you pay for, it ?" "Why, what you gaite me this morning:" said the wife. * " The deuce you did;" said he, " then you shall haYe the money the next time you go to market." rr ItO":.SALtrVATioN IN ICELAND.—The i• versal mode of salutation in Iceland, at meet ing and pasting, is a loud kiss. The peasint kisses the daughters of the magistrate, and theyliss him in return. The pastor is also kissed on Sunday after service, by aft his flock. In short, a kiss in Iceland is equiva lent to our hand-shaltieg yet the people are all honest. There is no prison on ;he island; there are no criminals. no locks, bolts, or bars ; though drunkenness is a very com mon vice. 07' ELDER KNAPP, while preaching recent ly in Rockford, Illinois, observed many of his congregation sleeping. He stopped in ,his sermon and requested the deacons to pass the contributing boxes, saying that he learned the society bad not yet raised money enough to pay for the new bell, adding that there were some there whom he knew would like to pay for their lodging, the usual price of which was twenty-five cents. About forty dollars were raised. He then finished his sermon. CO'I.• 11. S.—These letters are seen in Catholic and Episcopal churches, and in the prayer books of these sects.

No. o. .. i The interest, which was felt in the erten: sive diffusion of knowledge in the 16th cen• tury, shOws itself also its the influence which thii subject had acquired over some of the first minds of the age, whom it forced to sur render themselves wholly to its power, and to Jpsirote their talents to the great work, now brought so irtesistably to men'sconsideration. •Ai no time before were so manystrong mind. ed , men laboring in the cause of 'education and in the work of diffusing knowledge among all classes. Besides the Reformers, whose eery position' and vocation brought before their minds the importance of the peo ple's education, there , were many others, al so, who were aroused land driven to active eiertions, by the new[ life which animated 51 NO. society at tliis time."Of ithese. persons we will first name JOHN Stunt, who Was edu cated at Leyden and Louvain, and aftgrwards engaged for' some timei in teaching at Paris. But the principal - field. his activity was confined to Strassburg, to which place. he was called in 153 S as rector of a gyninasium. Thisinstitutiou acquire!l so g reat a reputation and exalted a character- under his direction, that it was soon elevated into the.rank.of a university. The reputation which Strass burg acquired in school affairs, during his tithe, caused it to be cqnsulted from all parts of Germany on the sul?ject of schools. Un fortunately, ibis useful an becameinvolved in difficulties occasioned by the religious con troversies of that time,,and through these he was finally removed rom his sttnation. 7 --. From this time he lived iu obsenti) , K, until . his death, which occur red in 15S9.:removed him from a disappointing 'and ungrateful world. Another very efficient. lehoolrnala `of this period we find in the 'person of VALENTINE FRIEDLAND. This man prosecuted his earli est studies at Gorlitz,lbut after the feath of his .parents he sold hsi paternal goods and went to Leipsic, whet he placed hiluself un der the instruction of P ETER MOSELLAN and, RICHARD CROCUS, twodistinguiskd literary men of his time. Afterwards, he re-entered the institution at Gorlitz, in the capacity of a teacher : but whenliTUEß made, his ap pearance he left his ituation, and' went to Wittenberg, where he became intimately connected with the great' Reformer and his associate MELANCOVION. JEl3Virlg taught afterwards a short time at Liegnitz, he final ly located himself at !Goldberg, the seat'of his most efficient lab Ors, where he stood at the head of a celebrated gynanasium for 33 years, to , which institution he give an extra ordinary reputation. Its halls were filled with scholars coining from every *dire . c.tion, not only tram Silesia, : but also from Poland,_, Lithuania, Austria, Ilohemia, Hungary and • Transylyania, and atiounting often to _more than a LOW. The gciNinment ol . the school was administered updrt republican principles, allowing the,scholarsl; who formed a small community and livedlalLin the buildings be- longing to the establ4hment, to have a voice in enacting and admibistering thelaws that were to govern them 4 By this arrangement, an admirable systeni of disciplinels said to have prevailed in tire institution: A large number of useful men 'went forth from his school into various parts of Europe, for the purpose of extendingl,the means of education still more widely atnfing all classes. In the midst of his great usefulness and successful efforts to improve the prevailing system of education, he was grieved to see his large edifice laid in ashes, pod not many years af terwards he died, These two short biogra phical sketches are not given as of much ac count in themselves, but merely as speci mens of many other individual efforts of a somewhat similar nature. History hals writ ten on its pages other names of this period, equally celebrated in thexause of education, but those already mentioßed pre,sufficient to give us an idea of the . progress then made in this work. We Might Speak of, Micriatr. Nr. A tsmEn . SEBALD fiF.TIiEN, COME•; ', NIUs and others, buijit is unnecessary. We are now apprhaching an event which arrayed the nations of Europe in fierce con flict against one auoOter, enflamed the most unholy passions of the human' heart, and tilled all lands with bitter lamentation. We come now to the time: when the 30 years' war arose, in which G,USTAVUS:ADOLPFUTS, on the side of the Protestants, lead forth his invincible army in triumph,against those of the Emperor of Austria, whose chief gener al was the celebratdd WAITF.NSTEIN; and in which the plains add fertile-fields of Europe were laid waste frgm one end of the conti nent to the other. So great was the destruc tion of this bloody war, that, many of the soldiers at its close, on retu rniug to their homes, instead of seeing their native villages and dwellings, from which they had gone furth to battle, found only heaps of ashes in their stead. Their meadows and fields were covered with thornli arrd - brushwood, and the owners of thousands of acres returned no inure to their former possessions. So great was the destruetion of human' life in this long religious strife. that Germany, the seat of its principal battles has been estimated of _having lust two thirds of its inhabitants in the struggle. And even after the strife was over,there still eon6nued to burn , those bitter passions, which had been inftamed while ' it continued to rage. The three religious parties, Reformed, I Lutheran and' Catholic, looked still upon ode another with suspicion and haired : and the pulpits abbunded more in religious philippics against the opposing parties. than in the mild and persuasive ap-' I peals of evangelical messengers. In this un happy s"tate of tlithgs the cause of popular education received also a severe blow. •Lit tle intellectual culture could he expected in the midst of such Streams of blood and fear ful devastations. IBut there lay also at the bottom of this strife a great strtiggle of prin ciples, which wrought a radical change in the political posture of rank and in govern ment. Towns& Te end of the 17th and in the 18th centuries. it began to; be a prevails ing opinion,that the duty of attending to the business of education and of establishing schobls, belong to the government, also, and not to thechurch exclusively. It was believed, that if a government is bound to punish for criminal offences, it is its duty also toprovide a system of education for those Who areto be subject to its laws. There arose alsa at this time three impor tant characters in the; persons of SPENER, FRANKE and COUAt ZINZF.NDORF.tbro' whose extensively felt influence and deep toned piety anew life was breathed again Aioth upeort the higher and loiier tschools. Voluntary asso ciations were formed also its ;the higher in stitutions, anil , i9,cities and villages, for the purpose of . adtranciog:_-the true interests of education ; and from - these new efforts there grew into existence tenchers' Seminaries or . Normal Schools, Which were first established about the middle of the 18th century. These new institutions gave a powerful impulse to the cause of popular elacation. The business of`teaching was now heginning to be looked upon as a respectable profession, and for, this character it was indebied principally to these Seminaries. The,mme;result Is visible in our own time, wherever eflicient institutions of this kind exist. The State of I ,Vlassachusetts has, I believe, 3 or 4 State Normal Schools, and ranks first among; her sister States, in the character of her schools. lam informed by a teacher , of that State, that according to an estimate mad 6 of the salaries of the dit- ' ferent professionis, it T thas, been found, that none of its profeSsional men ire paid so well, on an average, tliroughout the whole State, as the teachers. I Good teachers will always command good ;salaries. We want at the head of our schools,, not merely educated men, but educated peisons tgho can teach.— Our colleges and academies are not suitable institutions for 'making efficient teachers.—' Their studies and training do not aim at, this; ; and those who graduate in them, must first learn n'greit deai, and often at the ex. pense of their Schools, before they can be come efficient teitchers. Thefaculty of teach ing is, indeed, a!gift of nature, and I do not pretend to say,' that 4 education of any kind, can make a man, what nature never desi.gn ed him to be. But it is, nevertheless, a fac ulty which can be cultivatett.'and none is so much neglected as this, A: graduate, just 'fresh from 'college, or from an academy, is the last person whom I would select tor a teacher unless he had had experience in teaching previous Co his graduation. But one from a Nltnol 'School, call it by .what name you plea e, County or State, would re ceive my preference. provided he possessed also a th o rough education, together with that practical knowlOge of teaching, which the students ofsuchischools,do acquire.
