THE NEW SCHOOLMASTER.
BY B. P. SHILLABEH,
There was a strange school; at Rocky

voted that the new master must be pul

rooks would interfere with the sports of
trooks.
Monday morning the boys were seen

there, they became conscious of the

Bill Brown went round- whispering,

intended it should, a combative spirit in

“Then.” said the young, teacher, “you
shpll.be made to obey me,” .'
He reached to hjs desk. ag"
toßk, ; hi? , ruler ’. therefromi when turning to
thefebef, he told him to hold out his hand.
fEheboy», with a v surly and impudent brow,
kept his hands persistently in his pockets,
looking at the same time round for encour
agement. He evidently regarded the master
as an easy conquest, and felt sufficient
strength- within himself to cope with the
schoolmaster.
“Hold out your hand, sir,” the teacher re
peated in a more commanding tone.
Refusing to obey, he received a smart rap
over the knuckles from the ruler when draw
ing his right hand suddenly from his pocket,
gave .the teacher a severe fiilip.on the side of
the head and then “pitched in.” In a mo
ment the school was in confusion.- ■ The
bolder boys mounted upon the benches to see
the progress of the row, and the timid sat
still and tremblipg, waiting the result very
anxiously.
The master, when thus assailed, did not
hesitate for a moment. His delicate frame
seemed to dilate with the spirit evoked fyy the
young ruffian, and a sinewy strength to per
vade him. He was smaller than his antago
nist, but had, by judicious training, developed
bis muscles in a powerful degree. He threw
his ruler away and grappled with his antago
nist, and the struggle for mastery commenced
in earnest —science against strength. The
boys evidently thought their associate needed
no assistance, for they did not move to . aid
him, and thus the field was left to the two
combatants. They swayed this way and
that way, back and forth, hither and thither,
straining and striving, pulling and jerking,
till, with a master stroke of. science, the
teacher brought his pupil forward on his
knees and then by an adroit twist turned him
over on his back, like a turtle at Hall’s wait
ing for the immolating knife.
Immediately improving his opportunity, he
threw himself upon his prostrate foe, and
commenced rhfinliug him in the most Improved
chancery mode—hammering away at him,
perhaps, in a manner not exactly sanctioned
by the rules of the ring, but fully justified by
the exigency of the case. The boys seem par
alyzed with astonishment at the unexpected
result, and the bully, after an unsuccessful
struggle to release himself, cried out lustily
for quarter, which was granted, on the con
dition of good behavior while in school. ■ He
was then allowed to get up, and in the vocab
ulary of the ring was found to be severely
“punished.” • His nose had suffered, and his
eyes wer6 essentially bunged up. He looked
the sneaking and used up wretch, and stood
before his mates a conquered game chicken.
His influence was from that moment gone,
and when the master stood up before his
school, as calm and collected as if he had
merely fatten-setting a copy instead of an ex
ample, they sank into their seats with an im
plied concession that they had found their
master. Not a sound was heard from one of
them.
“Well, boys,” said he, “if there is any
other one here disposed lo disobey me, I sho’d
like-to have the mailer soli led now. Those
obedient, and will pledge them
selves to obedience, will please to rise in their
seals.”
They all .rose. i
“Now, I will tell you,” said he, “that I am
disposed lo yield equal and exact juslice to
all—kindly if you will, but as you will,
(looking significantly at Brown,) be good
boys and lam your friend. lam going to
take a botanical stroll in the woods on Wed
nesday, and those who behave well in the
mean time, may accompany me. Do you
wish lo go
“Yes sir,” was the unanimous voice.
He felt that he had triumphed, and bade
them be sealed.
“Now, Brown,” said he, “I must finish up
this mailer with you. You seem ?ore in botfy
and spirit, and you may either go or stay.—
If you imagine you have beenwronged? ap
peal to those who may right you.”
Brown went to his seat and gathered up his
books; and with a sneaking, hang-dog sort
of a look, he departed. The boys settled
down to their studies, and the school became
cheerful and industrious.
The next day Bill Brown’s mother called
to abuse the teacher for his violence towards
the boy. He referred her to the school com
mittee and bade her good morning. The
school commute investigated the case, and
said he had served him right, and the Justice
of the village, when aware of the decision of
the committee, would have nothing to do with
the matter.
In a week’s time the boy came and asked
permission to enter,the school, which was
granted without a word of reproach or a
word of promise. He was evidently cured.

havidr, the condition of their' so doing.—
Thesae excursions on Wednesday and Satur
day afternoons have quite killed several cir
cuses tjjat came into the village, as not one
of the scholajs chose to deprive himself of the
walk for lhe sake of any other attraction.
I west,at Rocky Valley last win'er bn a
Wednesday, and went down on the pleasant
pop'd pear the school house to indulge in the
old sport of skating, which I had not done for
years. ~’lThe day was fair and the ice was
clear’as<fystal. Hearing a tremendous shout
ing, toward the end of the pond, and
saw'.tit icrowd of hoys on skates pursuing a
tttsp kept- ’veil ahead, and when they
came up lp_where I was, like an army "with
banners/! saw it was their teacher. He rec
ognized me and stopped.
“Ah,” says I, “Mr. Judson, I see you are
the same old boy.”
“Yes,” he replied, “we are all boys such
a day as this, and such skating as this.”
“Don’t the parents think strange of yoy
for your frivolous conduct?” I asked.
“Yes,” said he, “some like those described
by Holmes—
“Distrust the azure flower that blossoms on the shoot,
As though wisdom’s old potato may not flourish at the root,’*
but the boys are my inspiration, and as they
are pleased; so am I.”
He swept away with his train of hoys, and
a happier band never woke glad echoes out
doors than those who were in chase to beat
the school master; He had never occasion,
as I afterwards learned, to flog a boy in his
school after the first day, and he had the rep
utation of having the best school in the coun
try. —Saturday Evening Gazette.
The crusades brought a temporary peace
to Europe. For the first time it. united ail
Chiislendom into a single people.
It brought into communication all brother
ly races, that climate, or ignorance, or rival
ry kept asunder. It was a family meeting,
in which ancient feuds were abjured or ad.
journed, and all animosities turned against a
common enemy.
Pope Urban opened a wide'held for am
bition. The restless spirit of adventure, the
thirst for combat, for worldly, renown, for
earthly dominion, avarice, emulation, curiosi
ty—all the best and worst.passions innate in
the human bosom, conspired to the advance
ment of an expedition upon which the clergy
invoked nlj the blessings of Heaven. Europe
was gradually rid of sonie millions of her
turbulent sons, who carried their aspiring
hopes into'a field where their wildest dreams
seemed to fall short of reality.
That blind necessity of bleeding which the
human families obey nearly every quarter of
a century, was, in this occurrence at least,
effected with the least consciousness of fra
tricide. The crusades were a folly indeed,
but the Christians only recovered from it to
plunge into the equally fatal but less pious
follies of the wars of ihe Roses, of iheAr
magnacs and Burgundians, of ihe Huguenots
and the League, of Cromwell and Napoleon.
They ceased from their design of rescuing
from profane hands the cradle of our Saviour
and his tomb, but only to hunt down in his
name the helpless tribes of America, or to
forge chains for the innocent hordes of Africa.
However severe the losses that Europe had
to endure in her long struggles in Asia, we
could not easily point out another epoch to
which she may look back with less regret
and remorse.
The crusades were the forerunners of the
liberties of Europe- Rights and privileges
were sold, charters granted at auction, to
raise money for those ventursome pilgrim
ages ; slaves were manumitted; duties of
vassalage, old debts and tributes legally abol
ished, or wilfully forgotten or settled by death.
The magna charts of England and the par
liaments-of France date from that epoch of
general convulsion.
Gen, Anthony Wayne. —The day after
the Paoh massacre, Gen. Wayne’s house was
surrounded by the blood-stained perpetrators
of that wholesale murder; None of the
family were at home but Mrs. Wayne, who,
upon being summoned to admit them, abso
lutely refused, replying that the General was
not in the house. They were finally obliged
to force the doors. The premises were hunt
ed from cellar to garret, but their prey iwas
not to be found. The valiant officer in com
mand, entered a room where a large feather
bed was lying on the floor, and aroused the
indignation of Mrs. W. by slashing it with
his sword, supposing that it might contain
the desired prize. “Do you think,” said she
“that General Anthony Wayne is such a
coward as to hide himself in a feather bed V
The spirit of Mrs. Wayne seemed to have
excited the respectful forbearance of the Eng
lish captain, for every article in the house
was religiously respected. Wayne avenged
the Paoli massacre in the succeeding year fay
the capture of Stony Point, when that fortifi
cation was taken by a midnight assault under
his command. He was one of the first to
scale the ramparts, and he inspired the sol
diers to the charge by the watchword—“ R
emember Paoli”—thundered above'the din of
the rushing mass by his stentorian voice.
A Soixmn Joke. —" Bill, i've been in real
estate a little, lately.”
“Well, John, how much have you dipped
in'?”
“Bought a lot in the cemetery and a half
acre for a residence just north of it.
Just north! what in the deuce did you go
so far north for ? Going to liye there ?”
“Yes, Bill, I wanted a home beyond the
grave"
“Bill looked solemn and vanished whistling
a melancholy air.”

Lesson to a Scolding Mother.
A little girl who had ’Witnessed the pier

** Mother, does Gbd ■ ever fret otiscoldi?”
The qeery-was- so abrupt and-atanUng it
arrested dhe mother’s attention "almost Avith

“ Why, Lizzie, what makes you-ask-that

—and f shouldilike to know if he ever scold

“ No, child, no.”
“ Well, I am glad he don’t, for scolding
always makes me feel so bad, even if it is
not me that is in fault. I don’t think I could
love God much if ha scolded.”
.The mother felt rebuked 'before her simple
child. Never bad she- heard so forcible a
lecture on the evils of scolding. The words'
of Lizzie sank deep in her heart, and she
had turned away from the innocent face of
her little one to hide the tears that, gathered
in her eyes. Children are quick observers,
and Lizzie, seeing the effect of her words,,
hastened to inquile—
“ Why do you cry, mother ? Was it
naughty for me to ask so many questions 1”
“ No, love, it was all right. 1 was only
thinking how bad! had-beenm-scold-ao much
when my girl could hear"and be troubled by.

“ Oh, no, mamma, you are not'bad, you
are a good mamma"; only I wish there were
not so many bad filings to make you fret
and talk like you did just now. h makes
me feel away from you so far, as ff I could
not.cojme near you, as I esn when .you smile
and are Kind ; and 0,1 fear sometimes I
shall be pul off so far, I can never get back
again.”.
“ O, Lizzie, don’t say that,” said the mo.-
ther, unable to, repress iho «oara mat had
been struggling inher eyes. The child won
dered what could so.affect its parent, but in
stinctively feeling it was a case' requiring
sympathy, she reached up and laid her little
arms about her mother’s neck and whispered;
“ Mamma, dear, do I make you cry ? Do
you love me V’
“O, yes, I love you more than I can tell,”
replied the parent, clasping Ihe child to her
bosom. “And I will try never lo scold again
before my little sensitive girl.”
“O, lam so glad. I can get so near to
■you when you don’t scold ; and do you know
mother, I want lo love you so much.”
This was an effectual fesson, and the
mother felt the force of that passage of
Scripiure “Out of ihe mouths of babes have
I ordained strength.” She never scolded
again.
Home Feelings and Associations. —The
man who stands upon his own soil, who feels
that by the laws of the land in which he lives
—by the laws of civilized nations—he is the
rightful and exclusive owner of the land he
tills, is by the constitution of our nature un
der a wholesome influence not easily imbibed
from any other source. He feels, other things
being equal, more strongly than another, the
character of man as 'lord of an inanimate
world. Of this great and wonderful sphere
which, fashioned by the hand of God, and
upheld by His power, is rolfing lhrough the
heavens, a part is his—his from the centre to
the sky. It is the apace on which the gene
ration before moved in its round of duties,
and he feels himself connected by alink with
those who follow him, and to whom he is to
transmit a home; Perhaps a farm has come
down to him from his fathers. They have
gone to their last home, bul-hecan trace their
footsteps over the scenes of his daily labors.
The roof which shelters him was reared by
those to whom he owes his being. Some in
teresting domestic tradition is connected with
every enclosure. The favorite fruit tree was
planted by his father’s hand. He sported in
boyhood beside the brook which still winds
through the meadow. Through the field lies
the path to the village school of earlier days.
He still hears from the window the voice of
the Sabbath bell which called Jiis father to
the house of God; and near at hand is the
spot where his parents lay down to rest, and
where, when his time he shall be
laid by his children. Thpe are the feelings
of the owner of the soil. Words cannot
paint them ; they flow out of the deepest
fountains of the heart; they are the life
spring of a fresh, healthy and generous na
tional character. —Edward Everett.
The Hang op it. —Old Judge S a
considerable farmer of F—V- county, Ver
mont, bought a new scythe Ijbr his son Jim,
and set him to work in the meadow, with the
rest of the hay-makers. -“It don’t work
right,” said Jim to the honored “parienl,” af-'
ter culling a clip or two. “What is the mat
ter with it?” inquired the Judge. “It don’t
hang right on the snath,” said Jim, stopping
to adjust the scythe anew. Scythes often
plague the mowers in this way, at first; and
Jim’s scythe was particularly obstinate. So
the old gentleman tinkered it over and over
again. “It don’t hang any belter,” said Jim
plaintively. “Then hang it to suit yourself,”
said the judge. “So I will,” said-Jim, and
hanging the scythe on a tree, he' lazily -re
tired from the field. The “.parienl” was as
tonished, but he “let him went.” —Boston

A Bit of Romance, i
Ten years ago a, young Englishman ran
away from London, .where he was highly
connected, came down to .Liverpool, took a
ship that was : op .for New. Orleans, and in
due course of time landed in this city with s
light.heart in his breast, end between ope and
two hundred pounds’.in 'Bank of England
notes in his pocket. He had been a suiuvais
sujet at home, and, What between | wine and
women, had managed to squander a large for
tune, besides involvirg himself seriously, in
debt. - He had taken the. precaution to pro
vide himself with letters ol introduction to
respectable parlies in this city, and by this
means he soon formed the acquaintance of a
yoting lady, who, by the death ofhet father,
had just been left sole heiress to a 1 large es
tate. A warm attachment' soon sprung up
between the two, andour young Englishman,
one fine day, made the lady a forrhal tender
of his hand and heart. The answer he re
ceived wgs the following: “I love you, and
will marry you, blit only on these conditions,
and these only : Ist, You must's!op drinking;
2d, You must pay your debts; have
squandered one fortune; you most set to work
and make another.” The lover j entreated,
but the lady was inexorable. Just then the
gold fever broke out, and our hero determined,
without loss of time, to try his fortune on the
shores of the Pacific ocean. He; sat down,
wrote a letter to the lady, in which he an
nounced his determination, assured her of his
unalterable affection, and beggedther to be
faithful to him, and without fanjier adieu,
started for New York, and took ship for San
Francisco via the cape. In California he led
for some time a wandering, dissolute lit, and
finally joined the unfortunateexpedition which
Rausset de Boulbon fitted ont for the conquest
of Sonora, ft was known that he was one
of the few who escaped to tell the fate of their
heroic leader, but nothing furtherjwas heard
of him or his whereabouts until lasVSaturday,
when a friend of his in this cityi received a
telegraphic despatch from him, staging that he
was among the fifty persons saved from the
“Central America,” and brou'gtu rnlo port by
the barque “Ellen. - ’ The dispatch further
stalnd that the-writer had lost $150,000 in
gold, which was in the hands of'the purser,
but that it was luckily insured for its full val
ue in a London office. We learn the lady
to whom he was engaged is still;unmarried,
and it would not be strange if, in the course
of human events, we should he called upon to

Not Exactly a £oye-Cfcase.
We met yesterday at the fyliami Depot, a
My who has. exhibited the most indefatiga
ble perseverance in the pursuit of informa
tion under embarrassing difficulties. Three
years ago she resided in California, which
State, ia 'fsovshe claims now as "her resi
dence, and . i here became with a
man named Munson—r.a -pleasing,.cool, affa
ble gentleman, who>o adroitly worked his—
way confidence that she introduced
him iOiji'youngdady v ra near.and.deat friend,
possessed 516,0&0 or 820,000, in
cash. The result, as might have been an
ticipated, was (he consummation of the lady's
heartfelt wishes— of her friend
la the polished and aSnbte gentleman.
A few months rolled'round and everything
passed off smoothly enough. The husband
was affectionate and attentive, the lady all
love and confidence. Finally, the husband
expressing a wish to enter into business and
settle down for life, the confiding wife drew
from her' bankers almost the entire of her
fortune and placed it in his hands. . A week
after, the steamer sailed Cor the Atlantic'side,
and the villain husband departed with Iha
gold, leaving his confiding victim, to the ten.
der mercies of a cold_world, that is far 100
busy to'look after individual wrongs in which
they have no personal or pecuniary interest.
The lady who had brought about tho
match, fell and boldly,faced her responsibility
in the premises, and on the sailing of the
next homeward-bound steamer, she took
passage < for New-Yock, determined to follow
the hUlrayet of; her confidence, and the love
of a wife to the bounds of civilization, and
bring him to punishment. Arrived in New.
York, she got traces of his footsteps, fol
lowed him .over various routes, until she.
tracked him to a village in Pennsylvania,- -
where -she found him with another tcife, to
whom he had been married before going to
California! A warrant was issued for his
arrest for bigamy, but having- no proofs of
bis second marriage, after a short examina
tion was discharged.
Nothing daunted by this unlooked-for ter
mination of affairs, the-lady immediately re
turned to California, procured the necessary
affidavits substantiating Munson's marriage
.there, together with, evidence (of the fact of
his haying absconded with.some $15,000 of
his second wife's- funds, and once more re
turned to the Atlantic, side in search of the
betrayer of her friend. And that search she
has prosecuted now for two or three months
with the most determined and restless perse-
but thus far without success. He
had (eft the village where he resided when
arrested for bigamy, and although the lady
had obtained some subsequent It aces of his
movements, when we met her yesterday she
had not yet succeeded in ascertaining his
present residence, although she is satisfied it
is somewhere in the West. She had already
expended a large amount of her own funds
in the pursuit, and expressed the determina
tion not to give up the chase until her ‘tsweet
revenge” had been gratified, and the villain
brought to justice. May her labors prove
Successful, will be the wish of every honest
heart. The lady pursuer left yesterday for
Cleveland, 'where she has friends residing.
If she may not be classed among tho “strong
minded women,” she is certainly a very de
termined one.
The response which (riendly feeling meets,
even in ihe breast of savages, is strikingly
shown by incidents which happened to Capt.
Koss and his party in their Arctic explora
tions. They Had noticed traces of the Esqui
maux on different parts of the coast; and at
length they discovered a party of them.—
On perceiving the Englishmen, they were
seized with consternation, and immediately
assumed a hostile attitude. Gut Ross made
gestures of friendship, and gave salutations
of peace, upon which the natives with shouts
tossed their spears and knives into the air,
and extended their hands to show that they
retained no hostility. The English parly
embraced and caressed them, and they mani
fested their gratification by laughter and
strange gestures. , full confidence was
established. i
Captain Back had simtlar experience; hts
parlj mfet the Esquimaux, who, when they
first the Europeans, exhibited their ter
ror by yells and gesticulations: Apparently
they thought their noise would frighten away
their visitors.
By approaching ihem unarmed and alone,
at the same lime calling out emphatically,
Tima —pence, and cordially shaking hands
all around, the Captain effected a good under
standing with them.
These incidents need no comment; yet one
cannot but think with regret of the aggres
sions of the early discoverers of our country,
of the outrages perpetrated by its first set
tlers on the children of the soil, and the ter
rible consequences of such vyickedness visi,
ted, not only on the aggressdjrs, but on their
childreh-and their children’s children. The
spirit we manifest excites in others a like
spirit. Love is, the only real conqueror.
A French woman recently appeared before
a tribunal to domplain of ill usage she re
ceived from hef’husband.
“What pretext had he for beating you,”
inquired the president.
“Please sir,” replied the woman, “ha
did'nt have any pretext —it was a thick slick.”'
Two persons contending very sharply on
matters regarding a late election, got to rather
high words, when one of them said, “Yon
never catch a lie coming out of my mouth.”
The other replied, “You may welt say that,
for they ffy out so fast that nobody caq
cafch 'em.’’
