THE LONG AGO.
On that deep retiring shore,
Frequent pearls of beauty lie,
Where the passion waves of yore
fiercely beat and mounted high.
Sorrow that are Borrows still
Lose the bitter taste of woe;
Nothing's altogether ill
In the griefs of long ago.
Tombs where lonely lore repines,
Ghastly tenement of tears.
Wear the look of happy shrines
Through the golden mist of years.
Death, to those who trust in good,
Vindicates bis hardest blow.
Oh ! we would not if we oould,
Wake the sleep of long ago.
Though the doom of swift decay
Shocks the soul where life is strong,
Though for frailer hearts the day
Lingers sad and over long.
Still the weight will find a leaven,
Still the spoiler's hand is slow,
While the future has its heaven
And the past its long ago.
Eloquent Passage. The finest thing
Geo. L Prentice ever wrote ia this lmruita
1.1 nassaire: "It cannot be that earth is
man's onlv abiding place. It cannot be that
niir life is a bubble cast up by the ocean of
otprnitv tr float a moment unon its waves
and sink into nothingness. Else, why is jt
the high and glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the .temple of our hearts,
are forever wandering unsatisfied ? Why is
it that the rainbow and cloud come over us
with a beauty that is not of earth, and then
pass off and leave us to muse on their love
liness ? hy is it that the stars which hoi
their festival around the midnight throne,
are above the grasp of our limited faculties,
torever mocking us with their unanproach
able glory ? And fiually, why is it that the
bright forms of human beauty are present
ed to our view and taken from us, leaving
the thousand streams of our affections to
flow back in Alpine torrent upon our hearts?
We are born ior a higher destiny than of
earth. There is a realm where the rainbow
never fade where the stars will be spread
out before us like shadows, and stay iorever
in our presence.
Dutch Stoicism. Irwin's steam saw
mill, which is a fine one, is a place of resort
for sight seers, Jsot long ago a Ueriuan
citizen walked into the mill and watched the
progress of the big circular saw with much
interest. Its rapid motion fascinated him,
and stepping up, he .applied the index fin-
ger of his right hand to the lll-dehned per
iphery, when, much to his surprise, the end
of his finger disappeared at the second
joint. Very placidly he bound up the
sttuup. Just then Mr. Irwin entered, and
the victim of misplaced confidence accosted
him thus : "Mr. Irwin, I come to see your
iiiills. I never come to see your mills before,
So I dake mine finger like dis (putting the
index finger of his left hand up to the saw)
to feel him. and meiii Gott " The un
lucky German, in explaining his first mis
hap, touched the saw with his left forefin
ger, which dropped off near the knuckle.
Turning to the proprietor, in almost speech
less amazement, he finally succeeded in
stammering out," Mr. Irwin, I comes to see
your mills. I haf not seen him before ; 1
will go avay and never vill vant to see hiiu
any more." .
Among the private soldiers now on duty
at the Jackson barracks, below the city of
row Orleans, is one by the name of bchultz,
who served during the late war, as Colonel
of an Illinois regiment, and upon leaving
the service was breveted to the grade of
brigadier. Finding, no doubt, a charm in
military life, he re-entered the service and
enlisted as a high private. But here's the
rub. By an act or Congress, all ex-officers
of the United States army are permitted,
upon military occasions of importance, to
wear the insigna of their brevet rank.
Therefore upon the next parade, will be
presented the curious anomaly of a briga
dier a star carried on the same shoulder with

Schools and Schoolmasters.
The rural districts deveiope some odd and
rare characters. Profound ignorance is
sometimes to be pitied, while at other times
it assumes such a grotesque and ludicrous
cnaracter, that it wouiu excite the merri
ment of old Cerberus himself.
We have lately come into possession of
the facts of a case which transpired some
where in Southeast Missouri that are too
good to go unchronicled.
A certain "Knight of the Birchen Rod,"
wishing to obtain a certificate as a school
teacher, as required by the General Statues
of Missouri, called upon the Superintendent
of Public Schools, not long since, when the
following dialogue took place :
"Morning, Mr. Superintendent."
"Good morning, sir; take a chair. "
"You see, Mr., I'm schoolin' it out in ray
settlement, and have been fur raisin' fifteen
year,and I want a stifficate to keepadoin'."
"AH right, sir; I am ready to grant the
certificate, but before doing so "I must ex
amine you as to your competency."
"Now, look a here, 'taint no use fur to
zamine me, fur, as I said afore, I've been
schoolin' it raisin fifteen years."
"Yes, sir; that may all be, but the law
requires me to examine you before issuing
the certificate, and I must do my duty."
" 'Taint no use I never was zamined in
this way, and I have a heap of stilficates,
ankcjin fetch them in to you."
4 viiever mind the certificates ; you must
be examined as to your qualifications, or the
certificate cannot issue.
"Well but it.s nary bit of use. I have
been" -
"Never mind that ; what branches do you
teach in your school?"
"Oh, readin', spellin', writin', and fig
gerin'." "I that all?"
"Yes; the folks out thar don't want any
thing else. They'ie down on your high
schooim .
"Don't vou teach grammar."
"Oh, no ; the folks are down on gramma
larnin'."
'Don t some of your scholars want to
study grammar?"
"Nary one. 'Bout five year ago one of
old man Hemphill's gals tuck a notion to
study grammar, but in 'bout two weeks she
gin it up.
, "Well, it Is necessary that you, as a teach
er, should have some knowledge oi gram
mar, and I must examine you m that.
V ell, now, that s no use ; the folks uon
want that kind of larnin'."
"Very likely ; but can you tell me how
many parts ot speech there are C
"Well, now, let jue see ; I declare it has
slipped my memory, 1 don t just recollect
But, anyhow, grammar is superflewous."
( an t vou give a guess f
"Well. I should say about two."
"That won't do ; guess again."
"Well, at furdest, I should say four."
"Are you sure ?"
ell, as near as 1 can re-collect, it
mought be and it moughtent."
'Now, sir, tell me what is English gram
mar r
"As near as I can re-collect, it's a small
ish book, 'bout so long (measuring with hi
hand) and 'bopt a half inch thick."
J)id vou ever see Kirkham or 1 inney !
"No, sir; they never lived in our settle
ment.
"Do vou know anything about Bullion or
Smith f
"O, yes ; I've hearn tell a heap of '01
Bullion,' but I never have saw him. I vo
ted fur him onct, but he took the Abolition
chute afterwarts, and I was powerful sorry
voted fur him As fur famith, he lives
across the run, Dout two miles trom my
house. I lis boys go to school to me.
"Very well ; what is geography ?"
"Don't use any in my school, but if
don t disremember, I seed some in town,
and they're 'bout the size of a chunk of a
shingle.
"Which is the largest river in the world?"
lhe Mississippi, of courser
"What is the shape of the earth?"
"AY ell, in our region it's right smart hilly,
but further down it s flat and swam pish.
"Which is the highest mountain in the
world r
"Pilot Knob.V
"Very well. Now, sir, you say that in
your school you only teach spelling, reading,
writing and arithmetic:
"No, sir; I don't say I learned 'em rith-
metic ; 1 only learns em readin , spellin ,
writin' and figgerin'."
"Exactly. Now, after your scholars have
gone through the spelling books and read
ers, what do you do then ?"
"I turns 'em back."
"So you keep them at the same books all
the time r
"Yes, sir ; there's nothin' like layin' the
foundation well, and turn em back till they
finishes their schoolin'."
"Just so. Now, sir, it seams to me that
you are a little rusty in some of the branch
es, and before I can give you a certificate
you must study a little, and become better
posted."
"Now, I don't see as I can, fur I've got
a power of work on hand, and the old wo
man has a raisin' on her finger, and John
has a bealin' on his left foot, which gives
me more'n I can see to.. Resides, the peo
ple don't want that, kind of teachin'. and it
would be a rrighty pity to keep the children
out of school now. fur they're most uncom
mon bad off fur schoolin'."
" V ery well, I will take the matter under
advisement, and you can call again in ten
days."
So the native educator departed, not alto
gether disconsolate. The originality of the
answers of this pedagogue eclipses Shaks-
peare's celebrated Sir Hugh Evans, who
smelt false .Latin, and overtops the grand
iloquent nonsense displayed in the high

A Father-in-law in Spite of Himself.
A good sell is related of a wealthy bank
er, in London, who is very good natured,
out inclined to be a trifle fast in his views
of life. He had a favorite clerk, a young
man of about twenty-one and remarkably
handsome, modest and highly intellectual.
For these qualities he was liked by every
oue, and the banker did not escape the gen
eral ieeling ot good will. He was as poor
as his salary, and had no connections to
push him after fortune, and so, like most
English clerks, he would rise to one hudred
and twenty pounds a year, go on for eight
years at ten pouuds a year rise, and marry
when he get; two iiundred pounds a year,
henceforth to vegetate and find that the ad
ditional ten pounds a year rise only kept
pace with the additional babes in the house
hold.
The banker, on Sunday afternoon, when
no one was expected, would occasionally ak
the young man to visit his family at his
subuiban villa; as the conversation of the
young man was correct and clever, it could
not but be of advantage to his children,
This was a mistake, evidently, but it was a
good natured error, and we caii only wish,
all ot us, that there were more committed.
I have not mentioned that there was a beau
tiful young daughter of nineteen, but they
may always be understood in any family
that has known wedded life enough. But
there were, of course, no attentions on the
part ot the young man other than extreme
ly delicate, reserved andtproper. This will
most always be the case with English youth,
as Americans well know. Uon t ahem
after this. The youth,. in spite of several
bunJays spei.t at the banker s country seat,
to breathe fresh air and clear his throat ot
Loudon smoke, was evidently very ill, and
though he declared himself well and robust,
the banker shook his hend.
'I cannot make out what is the matter
with my young clerk," said the banker to a
confrere who was in his back ufike with
hiiu, after the youth had bit
papers.
:ht in some
"Well, you are green, I should s:ay, for a
man of jour time of life and experience,

"In love ! hah. He ia modesty and pro
priety itselt.
"I tell you it is a fact, and with a rich

think of having him for a son-in-law than
you would yourself."
"Ho, the haughty old fool; my clerk is
as good as his daughter, and be hanged to
him. Ihauk you tor the hint.
As soon as banker number two had gone
out. the clerk was called in.
"So, sir. you are in love, and pin:ng away
fcr ti.e-ohject of vour affections that's the
secret, is it? Why did you not tell me be
fore bout it?"
'j he youth was silent.
"Well, my boy, I pity yon; but I will
give you a word of advice. If the daaah-
ter is fair, she is worth making a risk for.
Look here ; there are 500 and two months
leave absence. Run away with the girl.
Bah, don't look so stupid. I did the same
before ou, and it didn't hurt me.
The clerk fell on his marrow bones, and
was upon the point of making a ciean breast
of it, when the old man rose and left, pre
cipitately, to avoid the scene. The young
man considerea and acted, and the conse
quence was that the next day a week there
was no young daughter at the dinner table
of the 1 anker at the country house. The
house was in consternation snd a search
made for her in all directions. A note.
however, was found on her dressing tabb,
conveying the customary prayer of forgive
ness, and one enclosed trom the young
clerk, stating that believing the banker had
meant to give him a hint in regard to his
daughter, and was not able to give his pub
lic consent, owing to appearances, he had
acted on the suggestion, and that ere the
banker should receive the letter he would
be his son-in-law. This pill was a bitter
one, and the joke a terrible one against him;
so it has only got to the ears of the purvey
ors ot scandal and to your correspondent,
who records it as a trait of London life.
