Of the • lat ter, Mr: Dodge says :—" In Plano Fortes we ask no ,praise until we shall he beard. Of beantilal lumin a-tents l never saw the Me on what your English shops have contributed ; but I hare heard sweeter tones.

FELLOW TEACHERS AND FRIENDS OF EDEN , CATION: It affords me great pleasure to meek in an assemblage like this, so many wgo are interested in the all-absorbing subject which has called us together., And; although un expectedly called upon to address you, I step forward fearlessly in the discharge of so plea sing a duty ; believing and trusting that— should you not be greatly . interested in what 'few hasty suggestions' I may present, you will regard the object of our meeting with no less favor; and shall console myself with the reflection that I am surrounded by friends with expanded intellects and generous and sympathizing hearts. I came not here with the into:dial of de livering an elaborate address—like some fai ry bird to chant a melodious' sonnet—nor do I come as a stranger to wake you to joyous merriment with amusing and enrapturing strains of eloquence. No, this is not my mis sion here. I have come as a friend—a bro ther—engaged heart and soul in the business and profession of teaching. I have come to exchange thought and sentiment with sister and brotger—come to dise:gss and deliberate upon the best methods of teaching—impar ting the knowledge we have acquired to oth ers—come for improvement. This has been my motive in coming here, and this I hope is the motive which has ac tuated every member of this convention,— We may then go back to our several fields of -labor, with enlarged views of edueation, bet ter teachers—better prepared to discharge the important duties devolving upon us—with light and > cheerful hearts, and increased de terminations to labor more effectually ; and when the tion'd of brotherhood here formed has long-;been dissolved, our hearts will re cur oftenwith pleasure and satisfaction to its pleasing asssociations—remembrance will linger nround its threshold, and memory will ensliriae it forever in our hearts.' That there are many and important rea sons why our Conunon Schools do not oc compliili more .is a fact sufficiently apparent to intelligent minds. To obviate then some of these, difficu4ies, correct some errors in government and instruction, which hinder the advancement of the present system of education, and tend greatly to mar the fu ture welfare of our County and Common wealth, becomes our solemn duty. One of the greatest reasons, perhaps, that can be assigned fur the unpromising condi tion of our schools is, the want of interest or employment of properly qualified teachers, who possess and manifest proper public spir it: It is a lamentable fact that we have in the Stare a large number of teacherswho are positively not qualified to enter the gram mar department of some of our model Com mon Schools. In a large number of the dis tricts of the State, such persons are em ployed to teach as can get nothing else to do. Unable to secure some more profitableemploy ment, they turn aside, perhaps from the work shop or cornfield, not to learn but to teach, and expect as soon as the prospect of a bet ter job opens to desert the school-room and en ter more congenial business. We do not derogate labor, for we believe no man caa be a true man—a practical, sym pathizing and good man, who has not, at some period of his life, undergone the toil and privations of hard work. We believe there are some departments of labor, wholly differing from, and incompatible with others. One man may be skilled in the noble capaci ty to raise wheat 'and corn, or to build the public and private work : but his are not the capabilities which will enable him to perform the difficult, laborious and self-deny ing labors of educating our youth. Every man has a trade or prolesSion. The profes sion of the Arue and accomplished teacher— the most honorable but laborious—often the most thankless and without pecuniary, re ward ; yet one to which we can look hack with pride and satisfaction—viz : the char acter and calling of a schoolteacher. " Delightful task! to rear the tr•nderlhought ; I'o tench the young idea how to shoot ; To pour the fresh instruction on the mind; To breathe the enlivening spirit, and to fix The generous purpose in the glowing,bmast,,," In many places ~,the schools are furnished with teachers who,.if not of thelirst order; enjoy at least some reputation .but are con tented with pursuing the usual routine. measuring their duty by what was expected of them, rather than by what it was their power to perform. The teacher who merely fulfils his contract, may not suffer the up braidings of conscience for not doing More, and his salary is his reward . . It is all he deserves. But 0! how much richer the re ward of him who seeks a higher object : who labors to accomplish what none but a teacher can accomplish. When the man— who to-day stands with a listening group of boys around him, and marks the flushed cheek, the glistening eye and the swelled .bosom—has grown old, when the warm blood that now animates his frame and makes his tongue eloquent, has become slug gish, when his eye grows dim, his hand tremulous, and he feels that he must soon lie down and teach hts'last great lesson,; this methinks, will be far from being -the least pleasing of the remembrances that cluster around his dying pillow, to sooth him whose grave lies between him and his only future. When he looks upon the glo rious fruit, though the dew of the last life breath is freezing upon his lip and his heart is subsidjog-into its last stillness : a delicious thrill dust needs be awakened by the thoughts'" the seed was of my own hand§ planting." To look back, in afterlife, upon .a community made happy by their influence, by the noble principles they have dissemina ted, by their days'of unwearied effort in ms cuing many a victim from misfortune and becoming a vagabond, whose heart has re ceived its impulse and been knoulded by them is a priceless reward, which but one Class of the.many devoted to doing good. can claim. 'That clasp is the faithful male and female. teacher.= Such a reward—such a treasure, is of more worth than all the yel- ow dust that ever glittered in California. ft is exhaustless because the sunshine that it casts about the heart now, is only the shadow of the treasure which is laid up for him above. Fellow Teachers :—Our calling is a high and holy one. Then let us ennobleit. It is Immaterial to-what kind of school we belong. The teacher of the Common School is brought ust as much into direct contact with the immortal minds of children--minds upon which every impression whieh is made is eternally indelible, and the principles stamp ed by him, whether good or evil, will be as lasting as life, as the•most exalted teacher of an Academy or College. Could I grasp the mind of a Milton or Webster combined with the trumpet tongue of a Demosthenes or Chy, I would speak to you in tones that would stir up your minds and animate you, until I could see written upon your brows the fix-• ed and unwavering resolution as firm as the rock of adamaiii, that henceforth,. your lives, your talents, and your energies shall be de voted to the business of your profession.— We have a great work to do. The agp in which we live is an interesting and progres-: sire one. Old and long isolated systems are, fast going . to the shades. Ignorance and su perstition is fleeing before the truth and light of knowledge, which !bents sliniast to out- Strip the winds in their flight.• We work by rule, we travel. by- steam, we talk by lightning. We are a powerful nation, a mighty RepUblic, in which every, member is more honored by being such. than the, k ing upon his' throne. And to what: let me ask, do we owe this proud distinction I What has brought about these happy results The answer comes loud and spontaneous from every breast, the intelligence of the Peilple! Knowledge ! Ah !-I hear r it raurmered by the gentle breeze:thing over ,the lands once teeming with miasma and death, but as it is borne along oo the winds; what a delightful and refreshing odor it imptitts all around. It is the " intelligence of rihe People s " 1 filfi 111 JOURNAL, GENERAL ADVERTISER. bear sung by the gentle waterfall, which propels the Machinery so conducive to our comfort and 'happiness.- •I imagine I hear from the voice of Qmnipotenee, as it rolls about the Heavens until the4ery. Earth shakes at, its centre, the response; " it is the intelligence of Me People." We can read it as we Stand unharmed and gaze at the fork ed chains- of lightning flashing, blazing, and playing about the very -brow, and. see them d - to their natural reservoir, the earth. by the intelligence of the common school ed : . ucated Franklin. The time has arrived when it becomes a matter of .interest and duty,.ol right, in its strongest and best 'sense. for the people - to look to the education of their children, at.d to see that their health and improvement are properly cared .Ibr, and that their teachers are properly qualified. But how, we are asked, is this reformation to be brought about? how is this evil to be' l, remedied ? \Ve answer, the only remedy we can at.present see, is that we must have Normal Schools or Teachers' Institutes where teachers may be qualified for the discharge of their; duties to youth and the age and State in which we live. This is a fixed ne cessity, and has been what other States have been blessed with for years—old and exem plary \Ve believe it the most im portant agency to increase the usefulness of our Common Schools in this State—both as to the quality. and amount of education givi en, which could be employed. We contend that the requisite capability to teach, success fully cannot be obtained fully' unless the can didate can secure the lessons of men of wis dont and- experience, : can-becotne qualified in the science of teaching without a series of experiments which are annually .resorted to, at the expense of the health,'faculti es andad affections of the children. These Insti tutions will do for the future teacher, what the direction of the master-workman and the usual term, and duties of apprenticeship, do for the future mechanic•—what the law schbol and clerkship in the office of an older practitioner at the bar do for the young law ver--what the medical school, the practice in the hospital or dissecting room do for the medical student. It is applying the sanie preparatory study, and practice fur teach ing which the common judgment of the world demands of every other profession and art. It will help, also; we think, ' make teaching—(not a secoudary but) a per manent employment. The tnore truly effi cient a teacher becomes the more thoroughly the habits of his mind and file are moulded to his.occupation, the more'd eply his soul is imbued with the spirit his profession, the less likely he is, and the less capable be becomes of changing his career, the better lie is compensated—the more esteemed—and fortified against the temptations to forsake it. Normal Schools area topic connected with Common School educatiOn, which merits the attention and consideration of all. They ex ist already where popular education has at tained an elevated position, and to their in fluence may its prdgress, to a g reat degree, be attributed . Be District and County . In stitutes or Associations these benefits are partially derived. They result in a great amount of good. But I believe such benefits would be more fully realized in a permanent institution, liberally endowed and controlled by men profeisinff . the highest attainments in the theory and Pri - ey tice or teaching. I believe that a well patronized and energeti cally conducted Normal School, would be-. come a standard model of education through out the State. It would give `dignity and influence to the profession of teaaing. A few *ell qualified graduates of such an in stitution, alive with the spirit anir..adorned with the full attainments of, their vocation, would =soon . impart their energy Zia multi tudes bf the same calling. A few men in any profession may happily determine its character for centuries. Two or three prOs perous Medical Colleges, deserving and com manding influence, by the elevated, intellec tgal and moral attainments of their gradu ates, have, in a lesti years, given tone and character toihe entire profession. The cla mors of imposters may, for a time, array ignorant and besotted prejudices, and the proffer of their services for a small reward may induce the patronage of many: yet the inevitable results of blundering stupidity will Soon effect a cure of misplaced and abus-- effconfidence, and teach those who have been aped the salutary lesson, that the services of ignorance are, a miserable commodity, even Tfobtained at a mere nominal price.. Simi lar beneficial results would follow, in regard to teachers, if similar means of preparation and instruction were presented. Incompetent men, wh6 now thrive by pub . lie patronage, would starve or abandon their arrogant pretensions, if a better clasi could be furnished: A wise teacher would as cer tainly correct erroneous opinions and prac tice upon this subject, as the rising sun dis sipates the morning mists. The actual ex perience of the benefits, of wholesome, sound instruction, must precede a correct apprecia tion. Barbarism would be as welcoriie to him who had realized the blessings of civi lization, as would rude and illiterate peda gogues to a people who have had all the experience of good instructors. Normal Schools are unanimously recom mended by all who have'witnessed their op erations and results. They assert that an adequate supply of competent teachers could not be obtained until this method of prepar ing them for the o ffi ce had been secured. Prof.' BARNARD. of Connecticut. says, "In stitutions of this character are an indispensa ble feature-of our public• school system."— ' We might adduce numerous other proofs'of their utility but time will not permit. Suffice it to say, wherever iliese schools have been adopted but one voice has been heard from them, and that has been the loud unequivo cal voice of commendation. They are inti mately Mid iudispensably connected with the consummation of the highest oesigns of popu lar education; and I would warmly urge the propriety of their reoentmendation by this convention, believing it ,a measure in which men 'of all parties may harmoniously act ; and that it would have a healthful influence in awaking an appropriate interest in mat ters which ought to overshadow the ordina ry topics of political contention. e. In conclusion, allow me,, at this early stage of the Convention, to congratulate the mein-_ burs on its present flattering prospects. V believe this is the first effort of the kind in this section, and 'I know not, but in the en tire State. The ',teachers of this place, and the friends of edueation. generally, may well rejoice and feel proud of this movement.

SLEEP No person of active mind should try, to prevent sleep, which, in such' persons, only comes when rest is indispensable to the con tinuance of health. In fact, sleep once in twenty-four hours is as essential to the ex isteuceor mainmatia as the momentary re spiration of fresh air; The most unfavorable condition for sleep cannot, prevent its ap proach. Coachmen slumber on their coach .es, and couriers on their horses, whilst sol diers fall asleep ou the field of battle, amidst all the noise of . artillery and the tumult of war. During the retreat of Sir John 'Moore, several of the British soldiers were reported to have fallen asleep upon the march, and yet they continued walking onward. The most violent passions and excitement of mind can not preserve even powerful minds' from sleep thus Alexander the Great slept on the field of Arbela, and Napoleon on that-,of Austerlitz. Even stripei and torture cannot keep off sleep, as crinimals have been known to sleep on the rack. Noises which serve at first to drive away sleep, soon become indis pensable to its existence ; thus a stage coach stopping to change horses wakes all the passengers. The proprietor of au ironforge who slept close to the din of hammers, forges, and blast furnaces, woulir - awake if there was any interruption to them during the.night ; and a sick miller, who had his mill stopped on that account, passed sleep less nights until the mill resumed its usual noise. Homer, in the !Iliad, elegantly re presents sleep a's overcoming all men, and even the gods, excepting Jupiter alone. The length of time passed in sleep is not the same for all men : it varies in different individuals and at different ages ; but it can not be determined from the time passed in sleep, relative to the strength or energy of the functions of the body or Mind. From six to nine hours is the average proportion, yet the Roman Emperor, Caligula, slept only three hours, Frederick of Prussia and Dr. John liunter consumed only four ml five hours in repose, while: the great Scipio slept during eight. A richand lazy citizen will slumber from ten 'to twelve hours daily. It is during infancy That sleep is loogest s and most pro found. also sleep longer than men, and young Men longer than old. Sleep is driven, away during convalescence, after a long sickness, by a long fasting and abuse of coffee. Thesleepless nights of old age are almost proverbial. It would appear that carnivorous animals sleep in general longer , than the herbivorous, as the superior activity of the muscles and senses of the former seem more especially to require repair.—Sci. Am. A BOLD BOY AND A COWARD Two boys were one day going home from loot, when en turning a corner of a street, the bigger of .14 two called out, " A fight ! a fight ! Of and see." " No," said the other, " let us go home ; we have nothing to dd with the quarrel, and may get into mischief." " You are a coward and afraid to go," said the other, and off he ran. . the 'younger went straight home, and in the afternoon wept to school as usual,, when the boys laughed at him a great deal for not going to the fight. But he bad learned that true courage was shown most in bearing blame when it is not deserved, and he ought to be afraid of nothing but sin. A few days afterl, these boys were alt bath iog when one of them got in too deip, and began to drown. •The boys were afraid to go near him,,and all got out of the water as last as they contd. The lad would very soon have, been lost, had not the boy who would not go to the fight, and who had been laughed at by them as a coward, just come up. He at once threw off his clothes, and springing inter the water, just reached the ainktfig boy In time, and by great effort brought him to shore. • The 'boys were all ashamed, and confessed that lie had more courage than any of them. fl Ws. TOWNSEND, in her lecture, said that ninety-nine men out of cam hundred in New York, believe that two-thirds of the hiaman race are going to !tell, and yet, in all this city, she says,-there is not one single individual who believes he is going there himself. • Whether this is cosaplimeritary to our piety or not she did not mention.

LOCKING UP THE LONDON TOWER. Few persons are aware of the strictness with which the Tower of London is guarded from foes Without and from treachery with in. The ceremony of, shutting it up every night continues to be asiolemn and as rigid ly precautionary as if French invasion were ' actually afoot. Immediately after " tattoo" all strangers are expelled ; and. the, gates once closed, nothing short of such impera tive necessity as fire or sudden illness can procure their being re-opened till the appoto- .ted hour the next morning. The. ceremony °flocking up is very an cient, curious, and stately. A few 'ninnies before the clock strikes the hour of eleiren— on Tuesdays and Fridays. twelve—the Head Warden • (Yeoman Porter), clothed in a long red cloak, bearing in his, hand a huge bunch of keys, and attended by a brother Warden, • carrying a gigantic lantern. appears in front of the main guard-house, and calls,ont in a loud voice, " Escort Keys !" At these words the Sergeant of the Guard, with five or six men, turns out and follows him to the " Spur," or outer gate ; each 'Ben try *din ging, as they pass -his —post, " Who goes there ?"—" Keys." The gates Wog care fully locked and barred—the Wanfen wear ing as solemn an aspect and making as much noise as possible—the procession returns, the sentries exacting the same explanation, and receiving the same answer as before. Arri ved once more in front of the main-guard house, the sentry there gives a loud stamp with his toot, and the following conversation takes place between him and the approach-, g party :— NO. 26. • Mt . ° goes there ?" , •. ~ . ... Keys." • Whose keys?" Queeu Victoria's keys." • ' " AdrUnce Queen Victoria's keys, And al well." • i The Yeoman Porter then exclaims, " God bless Queen Victoria." The main guard de voutly respond " Amen." The officer on duty gives the word, " Present arms!" the firelocks rattle; the officer kisses the hilt of his sword; the escort fall ini among their companions ; and the Yeoman Porter march= es majestically across the parade alone to de posit the keys in the Lieutenant's lodgings. The ceremony over, not only is all egress and ingress totally precluded, but even with in the walls no. one can stir without being furnished with the countersign; and any-one who, unhappily forgeiful, - ventures from his quarters uuprovided with his talisman, is sure to be made the prey of the !trot sentinel whose post lie crosses. • All of which is pleasantly absurd, and re minds us of the stately manner in which the crown was crriett about; when the White Tower was or 3 fire. • -ss Few individuals have presented so striking an instance of patience and eccentricity as Bisset, the extraordinary teacher of animals. He was a native of Perth,:and an industrious shoemaker, until the nothan of teaching an imals attracted his attention, in' the year 1759. Reading an accou:nt of a remarkable horse shown at St. •Geritiain, curiosity led him to experiment upon 'a horse and dog. which he bought in London, and . he suc ceeded in training them beyond all expecta tions. Two monkeys were the next pupils ' he took in hand, one of Which he taught to dance and tumble on the rope, whilst the other held a candle in one paw for his com panion, and with the °dulr played the bar rel-organ. These animate he also taught to play several fanciful tricks; such as drinking to the company, riding and tumbling on a horse's hack, and going, through several-reg ular dances witka dog. All this, it may be said,-was very ridic ulous. No doubt it was ; at the same time, the results showed the - pOwer of culture in subduing natural propensities..Bisset's teach ing of cats was a signal instal to of this power. Having procured three' kittens. he began their education with his usual - patience. He taught these miniature tigers to strike their paws in such . dime:nous on the dulci mer as to produce several regular tones, having music books before them, and squall lug at the same time in different • keys or tones, first, Second and third, by way ofcon cert. Ile was aTterwar4 induced to make' a public exhibition of lit's animals, and the well known Cat's Opera, in which' they per- '- formed, was advertised in the, Haymarket Theatre. The horse, the 'dog, the monkeys, and the cats, went through their several parts . with uncommon applause to crowded hou ses: and in a few dais Bisset found himself possessed of nearly a thousand pounds to re ward his ingenuity and perseverance. This success excited Bisset's desire to ex tend his dominion over the animala, includ ing even the feathered kinds. Ileprocured a young leveret, and reared it to beat several marches on the drum with its hind legit, un-. til it became a stout hare. He taught canary birds. linnets and sparroWs, to spell the name' of any person in the company, to distinguish the hour and minute, oil time, and perform many other surprising feats. He trained six turkey-cocks to go through a regular contra dance. He also taught a turtle to fetch and Carry like a dog. If he does not fill litt party with news of importance, whether there be any or not,- it is condemned for not beipg what it purports . to he—a newspaper. If he does not fill at lOast one column ex ert/ week with something laughable, his fog lio is pronounced uninteresting. If a public nuisance Should exist, notice of it would offend ; and not to notice it would be censured.
