BOARDING BOUND, t
At litteen, with a valiant heart,
The task I did commence,
' To teach young idea how to shoot"
The germs of common sense ;
Ah yes ! a mighty task was that,
Bat very soon I found
Tht it was not a simple one
To go a '-boarding round .
The times were different then from now,
f be folks were different too ;
Tbe "master's" path with honor bright
Quite thickly they did strew;
And questions grave and problems deep,
That did their brains confound,
Ther always would be sure to Keep
Till became "boarding round."
Fathers would talk of polities,
Or church affairs propose, .
'And it my views were not like theirs,
A warm dispute arose.
And some old "posers," sly and wise,
Did oftentimes propound
Questions that sorely pusiled mu
When I was '-boarding round."
The mothers talked of rude young girls,
Of sermons, books, and boys ;
But always tried their best to add
Into my earthly joys;
for did I catch the slightest cold.
Or hoarse my voice should sound,
I got a dose of eatnip tea (!)
When I went "boarding round."
The girls would talk of everything
Of parties, ridesand calls ;
Vf presents and the hollidays,
('f beaux and Christmas balls;
Some grave, some gay and mischievous,
Those last I wished were drowsed
Forfstieking pins into my bed,
When (came "boarding round."
Long winter evenings then were passed
Wi'h laughing, jesting joy ;
Nor did good apples, cider, nuts,
The least that fun destroy ;
Or. if a singing school were near,
We'd go. and I'll be bound
i've often sung till I was hoarse.
When I was "boarding rouud."
The dinner basKet, every noon,
My willing band did greet,
And scarcely ever failed to bring
Me something good to eat ;
Mince pks were lull ot raisins then,
Doughnuts were large and round ;
Alas '. such canes as I've not had
Cilice I quit 'boarding round."
But now those pleasant days are gone,
Life's sunny spring time's past ;
The boys I taught hare, one by one,
Into tbe world he.n at :
M, tocks are growing thin and gray,
I'll soon be under ground ;
Ihcn I'll forget, and not till then.
About the "boarding round."
J It was formerly the custom in almost all parts
cf th. country, for the teacherof a district school
to get a part of his pay by "boarding round ;"
that is. by boarding in each family successively
for a period of time proportioned to the number
of children therein, that attended school.

Curious Chinese Stories.
There is a well-kuown Greek story of a
penniless man, going out with a rope to hang
himself, found a purse of money, which in
duced him to throw the rope away, whereas
the owner of the purse, coining hack to look
lor hi.s property, and fimliug only the rope
instead, straightway hanged himself. A
I'till more curious tale of a similar kind is
told by the china papers. In the native
city of Shanghai, the parents of a young
1-i iy lately married, having fallen into dis
tressed chcumstances, applied to her foras-M.-tanee,
and her husband allowed her to
ivt( them a coat tor the purpose of being
rawned. The daughter, however, being
anxious to render further aid without her
Lut-band s knowledge, secreted $16 in the
pixket of the coat. The old man did not
discover this, and took it to a pawnbroker,
who, noticing the money on unfolding the
garment, kept his counsel, and quietly ad
vanced $2. Soon after the husband dis
covered that the wife had given the $16 to
her father, and made so much noise about
it that the young lady disposed of herself
by hanging. In this way the news of the
robbery committed by the pawnbroker be
came known to the parents, and the old
mother took the matter so much to heart
thathe poisoned herself with opium. Last
ly, the pawnbroker, getting alarmed cn
tearing -that his dishonesty had already
caused two deaths, drowned himself in a
well. This story is very characteristic of
the Chinese feelings in regard to life, and
similar incidents not unfrequenlly occur.
Some years ago, for instance, an accom
plished young lady at Canton, who had been
unfortunately married to a coarse and stupid
husband, was bewailing her fate to a party
of sisters and female cousins, and declared
her intention of committing suicide. On this
the other young ladies declared that, since
such was married life, they would die too ;
nd so the whole bevy of them joined hands
together, and walking into a fish pond, de
liberately drowned themselves. . Again, three
nien imprisoned in Hong Kong jail on a
charge of piracy determined to make away
with themselves rather than have the both
er of a trial. At some height in the cell
here they were imprisoned was a small win
dow guarded by two iron bars, and the prob
lem which these worthies had to solve was
now the three of them were to be hanged
pon the two bars. From tho position in
which they were found in the morning it
would seem that the third man had assisted
"die two others in hanging themselves from
the bars by their tails ; that then he had cut
down one of them by knawing through the
tail with his teeth ; and using his dead body
fc a stool, to be afterwards kicked over, he
aad contrived to suspend himself. All this
too, was done so quietly as not to attract the
notice of a sentry who was pacing outside
wneath the window.
. An Irishman was summoned for refus
1Qg to pay a doctor's bill, when he was ask
d why he refused to pay. "What for
should I pay?" said Pat ; "sure he didn't
me anything but some emetics, and div
lj one could I keep on me stomach, at all.
Our Mother.
At the gateway of one of our beautiful
rural cemeteries, a large funeral was just
entering, as our attention was called to a re
markable sight. The bier was resting on
the shoulders of four tall, noble-looking tten
in the prime of life. One of these bearers
was a judge on tho bench ot the Supreme
Court of the nation. A second was one of
the most eminent and accomplished lawyers
whom this or any other country can boast.
A third was a very distinguished divine,
whose pen is a great power. And the fourth
was the 1'resident of the Senate of his State.
And these remarkable men were brothers !
They stood strong in life, but were bowed
and silent and solemn, as if the bier was too
heavy for their strength. Very slowly and
carefully they trod, as if the sleeper should
not feel the motion. And who was on the
bier, so carefully and tenderly borne ? It
was their nicn Mother! Never did I see a
grief more reverent, or respect more pro
found. It seemed to me that a mother's
cold heart must also throb in the coffin. A
nobler sight, or a more beautiful tribute of
love, I never saw. They were all, doubtless,
going back in memory to their early child
hood, and to the loving care of this best oi
all earthly friends. They well knew they,
the sons of a poor village pastor, could never
have been trained andedjeated and fitted to
occupy their stations without a very extra
ordinary mother. They well knew that they
owed more to her than to all other human
agencies. .No shoulders but theirs must
bear the precious dust to the grave-yard; no
hands but theirs must depoMt it in its last
resting place ! That body had been inhab
ited by one of the sweetest, most cheerful
and brilliant minds that ever inhabited an
earthly tabernacle. It had long, too, been
the temple of the Holy Ghost. What that
lovely woman had done to make her hus
band s ministry useful and profitable; what
she had done in traiuitir daughters that are
ornaments to their sex ; what she had done
to make these distinguished men what they
are who can tell ? What has not such a
mother accomplished who has given such an
influence to the world? 1 never see one of
these sons, but my thoughts go back to the
home of their childhood, and I can hardly
keep my eyes from filling with tears as I
think ot that mother.
How many men start upon the stage of
life, and feel they are great, and are tilling
great spheres of usefulness, who are really
dwarfs in comparison with such a character.
When that mother went down to the very
brink of the grave, that she might bring up
life, as her cnildreu were born as she toil
ed unseen and unpraised through all their
training what an influence was she prepa
ring to ieave upon the world after she should
be numbered with the dead ! We may de-t!
velop ourselves, and think we have done
well if we can achieve anything in life, when,
most likely, if anything valuable in usisde
voloped, we owe it chiefly to our patient,
meek, unnoticed mother. She forms the
character which we develop. And it is
much owing to ignorance of the laws of in
fluence that prevents the mother from re
ceiving that love and respect she deserves.
Heaven will be just where we are not;
and I can find no words in which to express
my appreciation ol such a friend. Some
few who have early lost their mother through
death, or tbe loss of reason, come out use
ful and respectable men ; but they would,
probably, have botfn much more so, had
they enjoyed her love and care. They may
well mourn the loss all their days. The
names of the mothers of Moses, ot Samuel,
Timothy, and other eminent men, are re
corded ; and so are the names of the wicked
kings generally recorded, as if to tie them
to the disgrace of their sons.
0 mother! amid all your anxieties and
labors, be assured that the tiuie is coming
when j'our name and image will fill the
chambers of the memories of your children
as no other can. You are garnering up love,
respect, and veneration, which will gather
around your coffin, if not before. You will
grjDw in the hearts of your children as long
as they live.
O son of the good mother ! remember
that she hath spared nothing that the hu
man heart could yield for thy good. Let
thy love and gratitude and reverence flow
back upon her ; and if her hair is becoming
silvered with age, remember that thy op
portunities to minister to her comfort are
every day becoming fewer $ nd fewer. God
help thee to cheer her ! Rev. John Todd,
D. D.
"That Alters the Case."
It is not often that we find hasty people
willing to make the amende honorable, as
was the individual mentioned in the follow
ing anecdote. A punetillious regard for
truth is highly to be commended ; below we
find a nice sence ot honor on one side, with
a still nicer nicety on the other.
A man said ot a virago with a loud, mas
culiue voice: "Confound that woman's
throttle ! her voice will reach the fifth story
of my house."
The woman, hearing of the remark, in
sisted that her husband should call on the
man and demand either a retraction or an
apology, and if the man would do neither,
the husband was to chastise him.
Husband "Sir, I am informed that you
say my wife's voice is so loud and masculine
it will reach the fifth story of any building.
Did you or did you .not make that scan
dalous assertion ?" (Holding a whip signifi
cantly in view. )
Man "Well, my dear sir, I can't say
positively, I might, and rather think I did
say five stories. Perhaps it is an exagera
tion. It is pushing the thing pretty strong,
I admit. I am willing, sir, now that I am
cooler, to take off one story, but not another
brick."
"Well.'.'said the other, "that alters the
case, but I should not have stood the five
stories. It was agin natur."
School Directors' Convention.
The County Convention of Directors, met
in the Court room, on Tuesday evening,
January 15th, at 7i o'clock two-thirds of
the .Districts being represented. The Con
vention was called to order by the Superin
tendent, who said he rejoiced in seeing so
many ot" the Directors present. There is a
revival all over the State, in School affairs;
and unless ice make a progressive move soon,
we will be left still farther behind our sister
counties than what we are at present. He
had called this Convention, in order that he
might receive the opinion of Directors and
citizens, upon certain changes, which he
considered must be made before much im
provement can be made in our schools. In
order to accomplish this, Directors, Citizens
and Superintendent 'must co-operate to
gether. On motion, Mr. Edward McGarvy, of
Karthaus, was elected President ; Mr. An-,
drew Hunter, of Morris, Vice President, and
Dr. Good, of Osceola, Secretary.
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed, by the Chair, to whom all resolu
tions be reterred. Adopted. The Chair
appointed Mr. Parke, of Clearfield, Mr.
Sioau of Hoggs, and Mr. Head, of Lawrence.
The Superintendent then read the follow
ing subjects which he desired the Conven
tion to consider.
1st. Uniformity of Text-boolcs through
out the county.
2d. W hat size should a black-board be
for a school-room ?
3d. How to induce more young ladies and
gentlemen to qualify themselves lor teachers.
4th. Whether the time had not now ar
rived wheti there should be a move made
towards the establishment of a Normal
School, in this, the 8th District.
The above topics were ably discussed by the
Convention, and much interest; manifested.
The following resolutions were then read
and unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That two delegates from each
school district in the county, be appointed
by the Directors, at their next regular meet
ing, with instructions to meet at Clearfield,
time designated by Superintendent, to adopt
a uniform series of text-beoks throughout
the county.
Resolved, That it is the duty of Directors
to have in each school room, a black-board
in length the width of the room, and 4
feet wide.
...yjesoiWj-That. those who have . taught,
and those who intend teaching in the future
should consider it their duty to attend the
local Normal School, held by our Superin
tendent; and that every teacher attending
said school should receive, at least, three
dollars per month more, for the same grade
of certificate than those who do not attend.
Resolved, That there should be some
measure immediately taken towards the erec
tion of a Normal School iu this District.
Rrsvlced, That the foregoing resolutions
be subjects for discussion at the next county
Convention at which time they are to be
amended, rejected, or adopted.
Resolvetl, That a committee of five be
appointed by the Chair to examine the dif
ferent series of school books, to report their
merits and demerits at the next Convention
of Directors. The Chair appointed Thomas
J. McCullough, Esq., Director of Clearfield
Dorough ; Rev. A. H. Sembower, Director
of Curwensvilie Borough ; Mr. Alfred Shaw,
Director of Osceola Borough ; Miss Swan,
of Clearfield and Miss Keturah Leonard,
Teacher of Lawrence.
Resolved, That we invite the attention of
Directors, Teachers and Citizens of the
county to an investigation of the diflereut
series of school books.
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed to assist the Superintendent in
procuring a room to hold his Normal School,
and that said committee consist of Mr. 11.
II. Morrow, of Go-b.cn ; Mr. Potter Head,
of Lawrence and Mr. John Smith, of Bloom.
Rseolced, That a printed circular be is
sued by the President and Secretary of this
meeting, and the County Superintendent be
authorized to circulate ti e same to Direct
ors of the Districts, to hold and organize a
Directors' Association.
Resolveil, That a subscription paper be
prepared and circulated in each School Dis
trict in Clearfield county, proposing to build
a Normal School within the bounds of said
county, to be circulated by the School Di
rectors andTeachers genarally, to solicit sub
scriptions for that purpose. Shares to be
twenty-five dollars each.
Resolved, That we thank the Commis
sioners for the free use of the Court room.
Resolved, That we extend our thanks to
the Editors of our county papers for pub
lishing, gratis, educational statistics, and that
they are requested to publish the proceed
ings of this convention.
Corrections. The Superintendent ask
ed permission to correct some false reports
which had. been circulated during the past
nine months. He stated, 1st. That he
had made application for the Town Hall last
Spring, to hold his Normal School, and a
majority ot the Directors refused to grant
him the use of said Hall. 2d. That he
intends holding a Normal School, the com
ing Summer, twenty weeks, to open about
the first of May next, and would procure
the very best teacher he could get in the
State to a.ssist him. 3d. That it was not
his place to make out hist years' report, and
asked the convention to take some action
upon the last subject, when the following
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That it was not the duty of
George W. Sn3der, present County Super
intendent, to make out last years' report.
Adjourned.
A scoffer once asked, "What advantage
has a religious man over any one like my
self? Does not the sun shine on me as on
him this fine day?" 'Yes' replied his com
panion, a pious laborer, "but the religious
man has two suns shining on him at once
one on his body, the other on his soul."

Two Irishmen were travelirg when they
stopped to examine a guide board. "Twelve

small distance.
A Monster Financial Concern.
From the report of the Board of Direct
ors of the Paris Bank of Discouut, presented
List December at a general yearly meeting
of the shareholders, it appears that it is,
probably, one ot the largest concerns of the
kind in the world. Its operations extend
over the whole of Europe and to India aud
China, aud its discounts in 1863-4 amounted
to the sum of one thousand seven hundred
and fifty-four million francs ($350,800,000),
and iu i8G5-6 to the enormous aggregate of
two thousand four hundred and forty-four
million francs ($483,800,000), upon a com
paratively small capital ot forty million
francs, or eight million dollars. But it does
not seem that the profits of this establish
ment were in any way commensurate with
the tremendous expausion of discounts, for
durine the six months preceding the first
of October, i860, the net gains foot up only
1, WO, 000 francs, or tor twelve months at the
same ratio they yielded nine and one-half
percent upou the capital invested; but on
the entire amount of business done the
profits at that rate was only a fraction over
the seventh of one per cent. It may be
that the costs of administration, salaries, a
gencies nnd the like, have been excessive; it
may also be that the actual gains ere less
ened or even decimated by heavy losses, es
pecially in the affair of the Mexican loan,
in which they confessedly took a prominent
part. But it is proof of the general over
tradirg of the world that, with a capital of
but 40,000,000 francs, a business expansion
up to 2,500,000.000 francs can be carried on
and kept up. How eagerly and persistently
they have pushed forward their operations
in the East can be learned from that portion
of the report which says that in India and
China their agencies keen steady pace with
those of the foremost English banks and
bankers. They have now resolved to dou
ble their capital. The shares hold well in
the market, selling at a premium.
Your Own Good Name. Some one
says to young men, don't rely upon friends.
Don't rely upon the name of your ances
tors. Thousands have spent the prime of
life in the vain hope of receiving help from
those whom they call friends ; and thou
sands have starved to death because they
had a rich father. Rely upon the good
name wWV. ia made bv vourown exertions;
and know that better than the best friend
you have, is an unquestionable reputation
united with decision ot character.
