Railroad Poetry. A correspondent of the Broome County Republican describes his jaunt over the Syracuse & Binghampton Railroad, from Cortland, in the following poetical strain: So much I wrote in Courtland's bounds and would have finished there, had not the down train's whistle loud, resounded through the air. So shaking JFairchild by the hand, who said come up again, I bid farewell to every fear,' and jumped upon the train. Bushing round the hill side, darting o'er the plain, over tho riv- cr, under roads, Van Bergen drove his train, lhc moon threw bright enulgent Tax's on each sa: all ripple's crett; the riv er seemed a lihhand stretched along the meadow's breast; the evcuing wind came -stealing through the car with ge::tle sigh and brought a cinder from the engine, which sprang into my eye. Few and short were the prayers I said, and I spoke not a word of sorrow, but I rubbed at my eye till I made it red, and knew 'twould be sore on the morrow. We soon got home at the rate we ran, at an hour just right for retiring, and down from his post came the engine man, and the fireman ceased his fircing And thus I too will cease "with this, a moral to the tale be always sure to "mind your eye," when riding on ti rail ! Unmanly Husband. Tho Wilmington, Delaware papers, gives an account of a curious case of mat rimony in which a young husband has figured in a most disgraceful manner, and occasioned a marked feeling of resent ment on the part of the community. It seems that at or near Mill Creek Hun dred, in that State, a Mr. M. some few mouths ago married Miss K., the daugh ter of a respectable farmer, and in a few weeks afterwards took her to reside in the bouse with his parents. She was here treated harshly, and although she bore repeated insults without scarcely a mur mur, he informed her on Monday of last week, that she might go home, as she did not suit him. As may be supposed she instinctively shrunk from this step, as a woman of any delicacy would, and beg- ged to be saved from such disgrace; but Lhe man who had solemnly sworn to ;love, cherish and protect,' commanded her to get ready, when he took her part of the Avay to her father's house, and sent word that he might come and take back tho goods he Lad brought there, oomc days afterwards M. visited the house of his wife's father, who requested him to name wherein his daughter was lacking in all the qualities of a good and lawful wife. Upon Mr. M's. remaining silen'tthe indig nant father ordered him out of his house; but as he did not offer to go, he was for cibly ejected, after which a stout switch was well applied to his back. The scoundrel deserves to be horsewhipped within an inch of his life. Providence vs. Old Zip. John Phoenix, of the California Pion eer, is a T. C. He gets up some of the best things of the day. Here is one of bis last efforts : ' Down on the old plantation," writes an esteemed friend, " a planter and his favorite slave Zip stood upon the piazza of the Mansion House gazing at the wea- thcr. A furious storm of raiu was ra- ging, accompanied b- thunder and light ning. 'Massa,' said Zip, 'hadn't I better go drive in the cattle?' 'Oh no, they'll do well enough ; the storm will soon be over, aud a little rain won't hurt them any way. "xut, masso, uoes une uor- aos under the tree; too bad to leab them out in the raiu.

ALDRICH, Have you not heard the Poet tell How came the dainty babie Bell Into this world of ours The gates of Heaven were left ajar: With folded hands and dreamy eyes She wandered out of Paradise! She saw this planet, like a star, Hung in the depths of purple even Its bridges running to and fro, 0"cr which the white winged seraphs go Bearing the holy dead to heaven ! She touched a bridge of flowers those feet, So light they did not bend the bells Of the celestial asphodels! They fell like dew upon the flowers ! And all the air grew strongly sweet! ' And thus came dainty babie Bell ! Into this world of ours! She came and brought delicious May ! Like swallows built beneath the eaves; Like sunbeams in and out the leaves, The robins went, the li volant dav: The hly swung its noiseless bell, And o'er the porch the trembling vine Seemed bursting with its veins of wine! 0, earth was full of pleasant, smell, When came the dainty babie Bell. O babie, dainty babie Bell! How fair she grew from day to day ! What woman nature filled her eyes, What poetry within them lay ! Those deep and tender twilight eyes, So full of meaning, pure and bright, As if she vet stood in the light Of those ope'd gates of Paradise ! And we loved babie more and more : O never in our hearts before Such holy love was born ; We felt we had a link between This real world and that unseen The land of deathless morn! And fur the love of those dear eyes, For the love of her whom God led forth The mother's being ceased on earth When babie came from Paradise! For love of him who smote our lives, And woke the chords of joy and pain, We said, sweet Christ! our hearts bend down Like violets after rain ! And now the orchards which were once All white and rosy in their bloom Filling the crystal heart of air With gentle pulses of perfffme, Were thick with yellow juicy fruit; The plums were globes of honey rare, And .soft-cheeked peaches blu'd and fell The grapes were purpling in the grange; And Time v.rouht iust as rich a change! In little babie Bell ! Her petite form more perfect grew, And in her features we could trace, In softened curves her mother's face ; Her angel nature ripened too. We thought her lovely when she came, But Ehe was holy, saintly now Around her pale and lofty brow We thought we saw a ring of flame ! Sometimes she said a few strange words Whose meanings far beyong our reach: God's hand had taken away the seal Which held the portals of her speech ! She never was a child to us; ( We never held her beings key ! We could not teach her holy things : ' she was Christ's self in purity! ' II came uPon us b.v degrees; We saw its shawow ere it fell, Thc knowledge that our God had sent His messenger for babie Bell ! We shuddered with unlanguaged pain, And all our thoughts ran into tears ! And all our hopes were changed to fears The sunshine into dismal rain ! Aloud we cried in our belief: "0, smite us gently, gently, God ! Teach us to bend and kiss the rod, And perfect grow through grief!" in, nuw vu iuvcu uci, uuu umi Hill j Her little heart was cased in ours They're broken caskets babie Bell!

But sometimes our interference is pre vented , anu sometimes ii is spurned and ineffectual.

Ah! and there j stood the son of those uow dead, who, j with fiendish expression, lifted up his (hands, and told us that by those hands . his mother died ! 'Ah !' was our language, 'this is seen an heaven; this will not be forgotten in j heaven; its punishment will follow.' A few weeks afterwards I stood by an open grave in that town. I had gone in pursuit of the widow of a young man , brought homo a corpse from war. Her friends had consigned her to our care, and !she had escaped from us. I stood by the open grave that 1 might witness the cer emony of a heathen burial; the corpse was brought out shrouded in mats; a bul let had pierced the brain. I looked up on the dead, I recognized the features, it was the matricide ! 'Ah V I exclaimed, as the corpse was laid in its last resting-place, 'did we not speak the truth when we said, 'his sin was seen in heaven ; it was written in heaven; its punishment would follow V Seven women have, spite'of our efforts, been strangled; and whenever there is a son he is chosen to be the principal agent in the murder of his mother. Within my own knowledge, a father has, with his own hands suffocated (by choking or gogging) his own daughter who was sick. One day, standing by the corpse of a warrior, painted and blackened as it' for war, the club lying by his side, I turned round to his brother and inquired the cause of his death. The reply from that brother was, 'He was very ill and I suffocated him.' Infanticide is written on another page of Feejeean life. I wish to confine my illustrations as much as possible to cases that bear directly upon the point, and that have passed under the immediate no- ! tice of mvself or other missionaries, or credible informants. Nothing do I state on mere rumor. A woman brought me a child who, from want of proper treat ment was nearly dead. I undertook to pre scribe for it, if the mother would reside for jfor a timein thehouseof oncof myservants so that I might sec that it met with proper attention. My treatment was successful; the disease was subdued, the child could a- Igain run about, talk and eat; in a day or two the mother oould have returned to her ' friends, but maternal patience was ex Ihaustcd, and one night she suffocated it. lAman was informed that his wife had given birth to a daughter. Ilearing of its sex, he at once directed it to be strangled. Again ; a female child was spared lor several months ; its death was then resolved upon by thc parents. J.hcy dug a deep hole in the centre of the earth- jen lloor ol their house the lather llung 'into the grave his helpless and innocent i babe. He then cast some heavy stones witu violence upon it, anu uueu up me grave with earth. These inhuman pa- 'tread over tho decaying remains of their murdered child. Such is Fcejec in the present day.

As the mind becomes more mature it will i commence some simple course of reason- ing for itself, and this habit once formed, will grow with the mind's growth and strengthen with its strength. will be hard to overcome. Let us have reading lessons that chil dren can understand; good moral stories, pleasant, simple anecdotes, explanations of the nature of minerals, botanical and phj'siological truths, and plenty of ex tracts from such works as the ' Bollo books :' these, together with the sweet hymns and songs which our languages produces so bountifully, arranged in a reading book, would extract more study in a given time, than all thc sermons and essays ever compiled between two covers could do. Spelling may be best taught in the same way. Jjct the child clearly understaud the moaning of tho words he is required j to spell, and the task will bo an easy one The progress may not be so rapid apjmr ently, as that produced by some mecoaui cal plan, but it will be sure, and what is once learned will never be forgotten. We havo text-books of Geography, with lessons of map questions and lessons de scriptive. These are all very useful in t thoir places, aud maybe made to do much 'good. But after all, when the pupil has committed to memory every answer to ev ery question the book contains, if that be all, he is very little better or wiser than ho was before. A teacher may ask set questions, and obtain set answor3, day af ter day and year after year, till all our text-books are exhausted; but will that process educate a child? .Surely not. Much more may be realty learned in one hour's conversation between teacher and pupils, in one hour's recitation, conduct ed with a purpose of making plain, aud clear, and comprehensible, the subject matter, than by weeks ot study trom text books alone, and mechanical repetitions. Now again teachers will say , 'Wc havo not time.' True, we need much more time than is given us, but we can still do SCmethin - lot us do it in thc right way. We do not fall so often into error in , teaching arithmetic, though that too is ; frequently taught mechanically. We (generally find in all our common schools, that we have moro scholars who seem , really to understand this branch, than any It other. Muey iovo 10 suuy aritiuneuc; and why? Simply because they are not confined in text-books alone. There must bo necessarily much oral instruction, much thinking, much practice; and con sequently the matter is made clear to the child's mind as he goes on. Therein lies thc whole secret of success in teaching. Steam may be the very best agent in the world to propel an engine; a complexity of wheels and a mainspring may keep the best of time; but neither steam nor wheels, nor any winding-up process whatever, can avail with the mind. It must act of itself, must see, know, and comprehend. I have heard teachers object to so much explanation and familiar conversation with children about their lessons, on tho ground that such a course tends to make the pupil depend upon his teacher instead of his own mind, as is intended. But there is no necessity thatsuch a result should fol low. Let the instructor explain & question, and draw out questions upon a certain sub ject; connecting his teaching perhaps with a page frou thc text-book : then, at thc proper time for recitation, let him requiro a thorough exposition of thc same subject from his class; not a mere repetition of tho words contained in the book, but a clear, concise account of thc matter; and if thia course is carried out fully, can the schol ar depend on anything else but his own exertions, his own mental efforts? All this may look like a very labori ous task. It is hard. Teaching is al ways a hard task: but it is easy also; and all teachers know and feel that it is casisct, when we can see that our pupils really know of themselves what we have endcav- ; prcd to teach them. A sudden look of i intelligence in a child's eye, as he catches ' the true meaning of some difficult prob 1 1cm which wc have spent hours and per I haps da3's in expounding to him, moro than repays U3 for those hours ; and tho assurance that the seed we have planted has taken root, and will grow, and thrive and bring forth fruit, is the sweetest re ward we can receive. There are children more or less, iu ail schools, who will not be taught reasona bly; who cannot be induced to love learn ing for itself, or for the benefits it be stows; whom no kind incentives will in fluence, in whom we can excite no real ambition for virtue and truth ; in short, ; who seem determined to educate them- selves only for evil. But thank God, they , are few comparatively, the exceptions to the beautiful. For such let us do always , what wc can, kindly if wo mayr severely if wc must. And though they may seem only to mock our endeavors, the germ of truth and right hidden away in their hearts will be touched, and in due time, though we may not live to see it, good results will follow, as surely as there are a seedtime and a harvest. Kind words, cheering smiles, and looks of approbation, are very efficient agents in the school-room. Teachers should al ways be ready to approve the right, and not, as is in many instances the case, re ceive the good passively, as if it required no effort. This is all very well in tho intercourse of man with man, but who aro apt to forget that children are not men. Let us never find fault unless it is ab solutely necessary. A teacher who is continually fault-finding, will soon dis courage even the most ambitious scholar. Let us treat them always as reasoning, thinking, immortal beings, able to do any thing that the- firmly purpose to do, aud capable of growing very near to the heav enly. Here is a great work to be accomplish ed, and we are but 'hewers of wood and drawers of water;' but it is early morn ing nowj and the task is well begun.
