DURING thegreat World's Fair, the Elicits!' Edi:
tors, manufacturers and other interested parties
took paroctilarpains to ridicule and cast
odium upon the goods of our country
men In the U. H. depattment. To such /
, I
a degree was this rattled that Mr.Dorige,
Beerctate ofthe2,Adierican CommissiOner, published
a challenge to to whole world to produce five arti
cles equal, in point of real merit, to five that he Would
designate mid select from the. 11. H. department.=
Among the specimens pointed out-front the U. S.,as
superior to all others, were two sent from our city.—
Namely, the solar lamps oft:ooneiliits, Baker &
and the Piano Fortes of Conrad Meyer. 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.
There are two very plain looking, yet pretty Piano
ropes made by Conrad Meyer, of Muladelphia, whirl,
I want your musical critics should beat ; and then,
without any disparagement to those from other man
ufactories, 1 want they should k now that those lA
-1111118 have with us a reputation of standing in tune
far above any we import. The secret of brat will be
found in a style of construction for 'womb these Pi
anos are so fausous." It is hardly necessary to add,
as it is known to almost all, that of the em ire con
gregation from all quartursofilteglobe, not one could
be found to are rid the challenge or solicit a compari
son. Conrad Meyer wos, awarded the great Prize.
Medal for the two best Piano Fain,- a compliment
thatnri other exhibitor received. And thug were Ins
Piano+ ailniitted,,by the whole world, to be the best
ever manufactured. Our ftiends should call upon
Mr., Meyer, in Philadelphia, and examinellte Medal.
It is a most splendid affair.
Here; as in the: case of Mr. Meyer, we " have the
matter - brought home " to the mantilacturers of the
,Old-world. Ppon their own soil, amid their sneers

ADD,RESS,
Before Ike Stlanyllilt County Educational Con
rentson..assembled in Potfteille. Der. ISSI, by
A. K BnoWsE, of Tamaqua.
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-•

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. It
has commenced nobly, and the day may,not
be far distant when, the teachers of other
Counties shall point to'Schuylkill ail a model.
I have no doubt:these mei.tings will be'pro
ductive of much good. J.,et every teacher
tring an offering of some kind, though it be'
but a taper's light, their united rays will
pour a flood of illumination upon , the whole
path of duty. If will inspire theothers,
though it be with but one flash or enthusi
asm, their union shall become, as it were,
tongues of flame, uitering prophesies and
hymns of gladness.. if each shall impart to
his.brethren, though it be but At feeble , im
pulse, their combined force will endue every
arm with vigor and every heart with a re
solution unknoWn before, so that all' may
return to their several spheres of dut3r,
strengthened and encouraged, and the intel
lectual sparks struck up at this institute, will
hereafter broaden into magnitude and bright
en into splendori until it becomes a mighty ,
luminary that shall illumine the entire State '
and forever blaze among the greater lights in
the firmanent of glory. '
The tiny rill is first to be purified, and
then,when rightly directed, all its source,
its widening and onward course shall glad
en the landscape with its beauty, fertilize
and invigorate the desert of, the world, till,
majestically and peacefully; it mingles , its
waters with Eternities limitless Sea.

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.

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.
