He died very rich.” { •‘How much did he leave f” “A large amount of money, sir; I don’t know bow much. Some say a half million of dollars.” “Bis death is considered a great loss to the community, 1 presume f” ‘‘Loss, sir ?” The man to whom I was speak ing looked into my face with the air of one whose mind was not exactly dear as to toy meaning. “Yes ; a man of his wealth, must have been a very useful man.” “Useful f” I don’t know that be wag particu larly useful. He waa rich, and did not care much for any body but himself.” "Still, with his ample means,” said I, “qven though caring only for himself, he must have been the promoter of large industrial enterpri ses, through which many were benefited?” The man -book his head doubtfully. ‘ What did he' do whh his money V’ “I never heard of bis doing anything with it, particularly,” whs ttfb unsatisfactory answer. ’ "Money mnsthe used mbrdeii to make it pro ductive.

He was sbary for a bargain in real estate.” “Ah, I see bow it was; Then he did find use for his monev ?” “In the way, he did. But when a piece of property came into hie hands, there was nn end to its improvement. He let other people im prove ail around him, and thus increased the value of what he owned; so that be grew rich everyday without putting bis band to anything or benefiting anybody.” “This was your half million man 1 And so alljhe has left are these property accumula tions.?” “All” “Then his death is not regarded as a public calamity ?” “No, indeed, sir. "It is considered a public benefit.' He has a couple of sons,-and a coup le of' sons-in-law, who will scatter much faster than he saved. The moment they come into possession of his'estate,' it will he divided, and lots of ground; whichought to have been im proved years ago, will be sold and covered with handsome buildings thus giving trade apd in dustry a new impulse. Why, sir, he has been addend weight on our town fur years; growing richer and richer through other people’s enter prise, and yet not adding a building himself, or in any 1 way serving the common good.” • •T thought,” said I, “from the long array of carriages, that death bad taken, in this instance, a valued and now lamented citizen.” . “Mere ostentation, sir. But nobody is de ceived. There are plenty of idle people who are pleased to ride in funeral carriages. Old Ellis will be put away with a great flourish ; but that will be the last of him. The blapk makes all the mourning, sir.” “Bud surely,” said I, “his children are hot witbooi natural affection 1 You do not mean to say that theirs is only the semblance of sor row?” , _ “It is my opinion, sir, that they are glad in their hearts. Why not? He stood hard and unyielding as iron between them and the wealth they desired to pussesg. Ho was cold, sour tempered and repulsive; crushing out, by bis manner and conduct, all natural affection.— They bad too mnch.polioy to quarrd with him of Igte, though the time was noen hot words were said to have passed between them.” “Therp are no gleams of light in your pic ture,” said L “1 copy from nature, and can only givewhat 1 observe,” he answered. “There are deep val leys the sunlight never comes, as well as golden tinted landscapes.” “I see another funeral,” said I, looking to wards a] distant part of the.cemetery. “There are but l|wo carriages, yet I see a long line of mourners on foot. Do you know whoa, they are burying?” “Yes." “Not a rich man T” “No." i “There is no need of asking what he has left. It is the burial of a poor man.” . . "Yes, of a man poor in this world's-goods; bat, so far as his means went, he was princely in bis munificense.

"He bus, sir., The lung .'line of funeral at tendants are all. true mourners.

The consequence was, that more than a dozen persons met every evening in the blind woman’s room .to .bear what .was read. This suggested to Tom the way io which another half dollar {might be usefully invested. The men in the rope walk were mostly in the ' habit .of spending their evenings in the taverns. Tom found another Sod who. was a tolerably good reader,.and paid him half a dollar week ly, m read aloud two, hours! each evening, fur such of his fellow workmen as he could induce to assemble for He. began with three; Soon increasing to ten ; and,when I last beard of the matter, over twenty men met nightly to hear the hoy read.”. , - otf Admirable,l” said I, with enthusiasm. “Ad mirable 1 I never heard of a wiser investment I And he had one dollar left ?” “Yes.” “And-how was that disposed- of V? “In ways innumerable. I cannot recount them. What the good Tom Peters'managed to do with that dollar, is almost fabulous; not of course to the magnitude, but as to the variety. It seemed to duplicate itself like the widow’s oil and meal, whenever drawn upon. You-were always hearing of some good act in which a dispensation of money was involved.-' Of a wo man helped in making upher rent; of a dainty sent to a sick neighbor; of a pair of shoes to a barefooted boy in winter; of i book to a child. Why, sir, Tom Peters! has left behind him en ough good deeds to endow a whole calendar of saints!” -|t ■ “So I should think, [after what you have said •of him.” « “And yet, sir, remember, be only earned nine dollars a week 1” ■ “I remember that' very distinctly,” T an swered. “Yes, his death is indeed a public ca lamity. is no figure of speech to say that hie grave will bo watered by tears.” “None, sir, none. He will be sorrowed for by hundreds, and his memory will he greener and more fragrant as the year* pass by. He built his own monument before be left us—of good deeds.” I parted from the stlranger; and os I walked from the cemetery, I laid to another man. who stood by my side while I looked at s fine piece of emblematic statuary: “They have been burying a rich man ?” , “Yes," he coldly responded. “What did he leave fj” “Nothing but money." “They have been burying a poor man also ?” “Tom Peters." A light broke over the man’s face. ;1 “But he has not even money to leave,” said “But something far for better,” answered the man in a tone of rebuke. “What?” ■ “Good acts, which, like good seed, will repro duce themselves a thousand fold.. Tom Peters earned just nine, dollars a week; Edward Ellis, Esq., (there was cutting contempt in his tones,) was worth, it is .said, a million ; yet the bum ble rope maker did, while living, a hundred times the most good with his mohey, and loaves an estate which shall go on increasing in value through countless But the estate of old Ellis will nut pass to the third generation.— Tom Peters had the truj .riches, that are imper ishable. People ask, when a man like Ellis dies, ‘What property has he left behind him ?’ but when one,tike our good rope maker passes away, the angels ask, ‘What good deeds has be >sent before him ?’ That is the difference sir! the immeasurable difference between .the two jOien. One, in giving, foade himself rich.; the other, in withholding, made himself miserably pour; so pour, that his memory Is .green in no man’s h^art,” I turned from the cemetery withaome new .impressions.etirring in my mind, sad the ques tion, “What-kind of legacy will yon leave!” preesiog itself bometto my thought*. “Let it be good deeds rather than money," I said half aloud; in the glow of earnest .feeling, and went book again into the living, busy, stir ring world, to taka'vp the laboring oar which I hud laid down in weariness for a brief season, ! and bend to my work with a serenerspirit, and, II trust, a noble life-purpose.

' The Legislature, at Us - last session, passed an amendment to the Common School; Law, which modifies, the dalles of teachers end directors. The following is, a brief synopsis: 1 - SrcTioN 1. This provides that the word month in all future agreement with teachers, shall mean t wen tv-two day s'; twenty days, ex clusive of Saturdays, are to bo demoted to the ordinary instruction of theyootb id the school, and two Saturdays to be designated by the Board, to the improvement of the teacher by means of the'Bictriot Institute, or other appro priate eiarcis*. The bolding of semi-monthly institutes. Jor other appropriate exercises, is obligatory upon every, district, and its omission will be an express-violation of. tbe : law. It is therefore Expected that this wholesome and promising provision will be generally observed, and that * few years experiencawill abundant ly justify tbeiaotion of tbe Legislature in the matter-.., |. . This section does not command that an In stitute shall be held for and within each dis trict. Some districts. are so smalt as not to contain enough teachers to be profitably asso ciated in this manner; while otheri are so in tercepted by .mountains .or other natural obsta cles, 88 to render such regular meetings im practicable. Teachers thus circumstanced, may be.associated with those of adjoining districts, or parts of districts, in the formation of an In stitute. To establish and continue an Institute, is made au imperative duty of tbe Board and teachers.. _ In the formation of these Institutes, let me ’suggest that Wellsboro and Delmar unite; and in like manner lei Covington township and Covington boro, (arid perhaps Bloss) unite. And so fur Sullivan and Mainsburg; Tioga twp. and Tioga boro ; Lawrence twp.and boro; Elkland, Osceola and Deerfield ; Shippen, Gaines and Elk, ■ If faithfully enforced by directors, and fully realized by' teachers, this provision of the school davr’ will, in the next three ybars, do more for the improvement of the schools, than any single section has effected, in the same time, since the adoption of the system. Sec. 2. This provides that when candidates for the office of director, shall receive an equal •number of votes, they shall appear St the first meeting of the Board ensuing the election, when blanks and ballots' being prepared, they shall determine by drawing the ballots who is entitled to the seat as Director. This section , removes the settlement of this question from 'the courts and gives the board exclusive juris diction, Hereafter, in filling vacancies, at a regular election, the candidate receiving (the greater number of votes, is elected for Jthe longer term, “stated meetiug” o£ the Board .of Dire-tors- 4 ' Sec. 4. This section enfteta that no tax for .school or building purposes shall be levied, no resolution shall be adopted for the purchase or sale of any school-real estate, no school house shall be located, or its location abandoned or po teacher shall be appointed or dis missed, no ’annual school term shall be deter mined on,* nor shall any general course of studies be adopted, or annual series of text books be selected, in any common school dis trict, except by' the affirmative votes of a ma jority of the whole number of the Directors -thereof; and In each ofeaid cases the names of the member* voting, both in the affirmative and the negative, shall be so entered (m-tbe 1 minutes of the Board by tbe Secretary. And after'the (annual) appointment (br employment) of teachers in each district, the Secretary of the Board shall send a written list of the names and Schools to which they have been respectively appointed to the proper County Superintendent; with a notice of the day upon which the ensuing term of school in the district will commence, and the termination thereof, as directed by the Board. It is very desirable that each secretory should comply with tbe requirement of the concluding clause of this sectit.n, as it will materially aid tbe Co. Superintendent in laying out and performing bis onerous duties. 1 Skc. 5 Upon every resident male taxable of 21 years, whose name is found entered upon the last , adjusted valuation furnished to the Board of Directors by the Co. Commissioners, as a basis for the assessment of school tax, the Directors shall assess the minimum occupation tax which is $1 to be collected with the other school tax of the district. - • [The AprH and May Numbers of the Pa. | School Journal, contain full instruction and explanations for assessing the tax. A copy of the Journal is sent to the Sec. of each Board at the expense of the State.' The eut-going Sec. of each Board should deliver over to his successor all the back numbers of the Journal, together with such other documents, belonging to the district, as ho may have in his posses sion.] Sec. 6. By this section the school tax on all watches, pleasure carriages, offices and posts of profit, salaries and emoluments of office shall only be taxed at the regular rate of school tax of the district open the whole amount of val uation. Sec. 7th enacts that all money now or here after; to become taxable for Common School purposes, and held, used or invested by any persdn, . company or, corporation in trust, fur the une, benefit or advantage of any other per son, company or corporation, shall only be as sessed in, and subject to scibool tax for the ben efit of the school-district within which the ■trustee (hereof re tides, or has bis usual place of business. ,Sp of real., estate.

In the Nalional Intelligencer, during the year 1857, was given an extract from a letter written by a lady, eighty years of age, residing in Philadelphia; to bier grandson in Washington, describing the scene at the delivery of Wash* ington's Farewell Address. The scene is graph* ioally described, and we reproduce the extract as appropriate to the present occasion. “When General Washington delivered .his Farewell Address, in the room at the Southeast corner of Chestnut and Sixth streets, I eat Immediately in front of .him. It was in Ibe room Congress occupied. The table of Ihe Speaker was between the twowindows on Sixth street. The daughter of Dr. —— of Alexan dria, the physician and intimate friend of Wash ington, Mrs.; ——, Whose husband was the au ditor, was a very dear friend of mine. Her brother, Washington, was one of the Secreta ries of General Washington.. Young Dandridge, a nephew of Mrs, Washington,-was the other, I was included in Mrs. H —■’a party to. wit ness the august, the solemn scene. N.

Thera was ,a narrow passage from the door of entrance to the room, winch was on the east, dividing-the rows of benches. General Washing stopped at the end to let 4|r, Adams pass to the chair. -The fatter always wore a full suit of bright drab, with slash,,-flf rather loose cufis. He also wore wrist ruffles. He bad not changed his fashions., He «a%-p short man with a goad bead.. With his family he attended our church twice a day. - ; “ Gen. Washington’s dress was a fall snitof black. His military hat bad ths black cockade. There stood the Father of his Country, acknowl edged by nations * the first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of' his countrymen/ No marshals with gold colored scarfs; no cheering. The most profound stillness greeted him, as if that assembly desired to hear him breathe; ths homage of the heart. Mr. Adams covered bis face, with both bis bands. The sleeve of his coat and bis hands were covered with tears. Every now end then there was* suppressed sob. I' cannot describe Washing ton’s appearance as I felt it—perfectly, com posed and self-possessed tilbtbfi close of his«& dress. Then, when strong men’s sobs books loose, when tear* covered their &oee, then ths great man was shaken. . I never took my -gym from his face.
