IMPORTANT_ OPINION.
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-

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

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

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,

neither Benson, nor.his heirs, nor anybody else de.

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. 'Nearly twogenerations have

(17 SS: It 350.) Payment of taxes. for twent

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. If this rule, which is,
!in itself, so just and wise, needed the authority of
i great names to support it, Lord Talbot. [3 Atkyns,
325,] Lord Redertlale„ - [2 Sch. Lt.' Lefroy. 71.1
Chancellor Kent. [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

MINUTE 'MECHANISM
There is a cherry stone at the Salem,Mass.,
Museum, which contains one dozen silver
spoons. 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 ,

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

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

with costiveness, will find tlie remedy a mild
and sure ecphratic, emptying the bowels
freely, w,itficiut nausea, irritation or exhaus.

two or three tumblers of cold water, The
same dose continues to act from year to year
without diminution of effect.

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

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

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.

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.
