BOW MUCH SID HE LEAVE f
sr t. s. ARIHIT*.
' a large funeral. I counted thirty-
Wo carriages. 1
♦‘Yes, air. • It's tie funeral of Mr. Ellis. 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. Was he not in business?”’ ’
■ “No,"sir.”" - ■> "
"What, then, did he do with himself?”
“Ob, he was always about’After bit's of prop
erty that had to be sold. 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. His death, sir, is a public
■i lossi" S r .
-Tire man’s fade brightened as be spoke.
“You knew him f"
’ *‘"Zes, isir, knew Mm well. " He was a rope
maker, Vorking his ten boors r every day, and
earning just nine dollars a week, .But those
nine dollars seemed'an inexaostoble fund for
good, fie bad no wife and children of bis own,
to love and career; tbeywent to the..blessed
land where he-has now followed them. So; af

benefactor, end 'tWs also; for' it was one of
bis sayings, ibat lire most make the right bend
help the left. Hi* means oT doing good; were
•mall, and so ho made them go as far es, possi

“He was a noble fellow 1" said I, in admira
tion of this poor rope maker. ;
“Tom Paters—yea; there was fine stuff in
bis-Composition, if bis hands were dark and
buoy, and if bis clothes did smeii of pitch and
rosin," . , i ~i
“He has leg, tedder and fragrant memories."
"He bus, sir., The lung .'line of funeral at
tendants are all. true mourners. There is no
sham there J"
“And what else did he do with bis money V
larked, growing interested in the. rope ma
ker.”
“He had two dollars a week, still, for dispen
sation.” i
“Two dollars only !” .
“Yes. Let me see I For one thing, he paid
, a boy half a dollar jt week two read to hours ev
ery evening to a poor blind woman ; and in or
der that this reading might pot be gives to a
single pair of ears alone, bo took care-to have
the fact known so that as many as chose might
come and listen. 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.

Amendments to the School’ Law.
' 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

Bow 'Washington delivered his Farewell
Address.
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. H—
declined going with Mrs. H- , who had de
termined to go early so as to secure the front
bench. It was fortunate for If — C-—(af
terwards Mrs. Irrr) that sfap would not-trust
herself so near her - honored grandfather. My
dear father sfoodvery near her ; she was terri
bly agitated. 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

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. Large drops earns from bia eyest

parting with their father, their friend-ae if bis

said his ,friend. “ Two," replied the magis

Brown was speaking of Joe H——toafriend,
one day, and said to him: “ Joe is a first-rale'
fellow, bat it mast be confessed he has bis; fail
ings. lam sorr it is so, bat I cannot tell a lie |
for any man. I love Joe, bat 1 love the truth
more.". “My dear Btown," said Joe, mho
overheard the remark; “J r never thought yon
would prefer a perfect stranger’ to an old ac
quaintance." -
