O ir muse still lingering, lores to dwell, On thy bank?, U ! noble fctreani, Her simple story hereto tell, Or sing some sweet aud pleasant tLeinc. No blood as yet has stained oar pen, No tragedy has been described, We've spoken of those faithful men Who lived and labored, loved and died. Another group demands a word Before we pass to other scenes Of men who faithful to the Lord, Had done their bettwith slender mean?. Bramerd, thoagh feebly, traveled far . O'er mountains through tho wilderness, Slept often in the open air, Or lode iu weakness aud distress. And thre were Martin Mack and wife Y hi -ettleil first. iShamokin town, To Indians preached the word cf life Al jng the river up and down. And Zeisbergcr and Camerhoff, Two faithful soldiers of the c.oss, Companion all of Zinsendori Who counted earthly gain but los?. All these were single ruinded men, All full of faith and holy seal, Who rank or halted njvor w!un Their duty they were made to feel. And though they met with poor success. And few w-jim bi ought to tcek the Lord, They did their duty none the less, And will not fail of thoir rewards. For truth, this rule wiN beams through And oft is taught us in the word, The creature thould his duty do, The contoquenees leave to God. For the D'.mncmt and Star. Teachers' Institute. BY FILO. The first and not the least object of Teach ers' Institutes may be to awaken a greater interest in educational matters. You may say that most all people are interested in this great and glorious work, and even although they may be to a greater or less extent, arc they really interested as they ought to te, or do they verily feel the importanse of the wo k as they ought ? We answer, no. At bast we think not. To prove the truth of our answer we have but to allow kheir own actions to condemn them ; to do this, p!eose allow nie to inquire how many of the parents or guardians, of every School District in the County, on an average., go purposly to visit their School eaeh year ? Enlivening the pu pils with their presence, and make them feel that their best frion k have their interest at heart, and let all the students see that the conmiunily are interested in raising the stan dard of education in our Common School ; and that nl;horgh they may not have the means to prosecute their education beyond the precincts of our District Schools, still they have the means even then of obtaining a good, useful and substantial education ; and encouraging their Teacher bygiving him their co-operation, and thus show him that you feel the importance of his mission, and that he is engaged in a calling that merits the attention of the good, the wise, and the great ones of the earth. We answer that we do not think that the average would be more than two or three at the most, that is, those who go for no other purpose but simply to sec the condition of the Schools, and we doubt, even if it would be that many. This being the case, any one will allow us to say, that there ir. a need yes, a great need of there being greater interest awakened in the people ; and that the folks ought to be arous ed from the long, deep, and protracted leth argy into which they have fallen. But says one and another how is the '"Teachers' In stitutes" going to awaken a deeper interest in educational matters. Man will be influ enced by any one in whom he reposes confi dence. Hence, when they find persons en gaged in a cause, they will probably inquire if it is worthy their attention and influence ? and if the question can be answered satisfac torily, and they find that this cause is wor thy men's greatest exertions and purest con fidence, they will engage in that cause, after which they are willing to give it all their en ergies ; therefore, when the people find those engaged in an Institute, which has for its object the furtherance of the grand and no ble cause of education, in whom they have confidence enough to place under their care tbe mental and moral training of their chil dren, they will think that there is little room to question its merit. - This beiBg the case, and when aa interest is awakened in the people, they will not only be williag to co-operate ; but waiting, and 1m.- SiM. . 3m. e. o l 3 ro 4 .o! .100 I 5.O0 r..t:o a,oo j 7.00 p..io lilO I Kl.0 l","o in no i li n i 14 O i 1.1 o0 I ikIW 2.i CO their Institute, to promote the educational cause, and elevate the Teacher to a level which his calling deserves. Not only so, but it is totheir pecuniary advantage to have the Teacher become a better Teacher by hearing the experience of those, whom years of prac tice have made sages in the profession of teaching. If a Teacher improves, and if he is an energetic person, and anxious to see his .school improve, it must participate in any improvement that there is in him. Then, why should not the people be roused up to iheir best interests ? Why should they not 'ak3 hold of this cause and elevate it to a level, which its inherent worth deserves ? Wc can see no just reason why they should not. Let us ask if you please, what this vast Republic would be, xlivested of its Ed ucational Institute? Reason dictates the answer, and says "it would be just what any place is without education ; namely, a heath enish land." Then we argue that the differ ence letween civilized, and uncivilized peo ple U the want of education in the latter, that is, give them Edacatioaa!In-jt;tue,and you make them a civilized people.. withhold ; education and they are heathen?. Since, , there is then but a step between us and j heathen. and that step is education, the people should not only be willing to attend, when thsj Teachers make a rally, and give their employers a call ; but should be ready to do anylhing to encourage the cause of ed ucation, that ha3 raised us from barbarism, to hold one of the most prominent places among the civilized nations of the world ; therefore, we think it clear, that the Teach ers' Institutes are well calculated to awaken an interest in educational matters. We will notice thatanother object is.to be come acquainted with each other,and by thus becoming iaruiliar, tr.ey not only exchange ideas, but enter directly into the interests of each other, and discuss how each may be come a better Teacher. Then, the object of a ''Tesehers Institute" is not to drill the Teachers in the principles of a Common Schoi 1 Edj ation, this they hive :i!reaJy obtained, or they cannot obtain a position among, or rank themselves as Teachers. But they have acquired knowledge, and they wish t meet their seniors and co-laborers to learn from the voice of age, wisdom, and experi ence, the best method of cocimunicating it to others, but this is not their only object. It may be that they have lately entered the profession, or juit taken upon themselves the responsibility of governing and conducting a school, and they find all their j!ans being exhausted, and still perhaps they f.ii! to maintain good order and harmony. Hence they meet to counsel with the veterans in the profession, and learn how they wield an in fluence over the minds of their pupils to bring them into subjection, and maintain good order without any apparent exertion on the part of the Teacher. Say nothing of tire mutual exchange of feelings at these social gatherings, men are sym pathetic beings, that is, if not anxious at leat they are willing to advise the best method of pursuing, and discus the inter ests ia."o'.vcJ in each o'.b?rs caiployme it, vocation, or callings and when this sympa thy is nurtured by taking and giving counsel, anl famlliary discussing one's interests, it grows into a respect and confidence that could not otherwise exist. They will now go to their labors, feeling that if profited iu no other way, they have gained the acquaint ances of thosa whose like labors enable them to sympathize we'l with them ia all their perplexities and trial?. But this, as we have already seen, is not the only way in which the Teacher is profited : he learns new plans of instruction, which, when introduced h not only novel and inteie ting, but actually instructive, and very profitable, both to Teacher and pupils in enlivening up their iJexs, making them acavc and energetic. He also learns new forms of government, by which he may wield an influence over his schools, that will bring every scholar in his proper place with th3 dignity of aju ige, stability of a king, and mildness of a godess A3 far as human imperfection can partake of infinite perfection. A Gipst Swindle The Waynesboro" Record, of last week, give3 the particulars of a swindling operation, by which a respect able farmer in that neighborhood, Mr. Dan iel Snowberger, was mulcted in the sum of nearly five hundred dollars. It appears a stranger, supposed to be a gipsy, made his appearance at Mr. Snowberger's house some ten mouths ago, and is customary with such strolling vagabonds, elaimed to be a doctor, professing to cure all diseases to which flesh is heir. Mrs. S. it seems had long been af flicted with rheumatism, tic finally succeed ed in getting the parties to believe that he could perferm a permanent cure in her case, in the following novel manner : Tbey were to produce all the treasure about their houce and place it on the table before him. He would then select a cei tain passage, upon which they were to meditate whilst he ar ranged the money in nine bags or packages, seated with their ba.ks towards him, the children to be first removcl from the room, with all of which they complied. The bags or packages thus arranged, they were re quired to lock tl:em up and not open them for nine months, in which time th cure was to be a permanent one. The nine months terminated a few weeks since, when Mr. S. opened the bags and found them to contain gravel instead of his treasure, nearly five hundred dollars, mostly in gold and silver. These facts were obtained from Snowberger himself. m They should prove a warning to the incredulous and superstitious in the future. Great Democratic Banquet in Washington. The anniversary of the battle of New Or leans was celebrated on the evening of the eighth of January by a banquet at the Na tional Hotel, Washington City, under the auspices of the National Democratic Com mitte. The dining saloon was tastefully adorned with flags. The reception commit tee consisted of Jonah D. Ileevcr, Thomas B. Florence, Judge Charles Mason and Owen Thorn. Among those present were Democratic members and ex-membcr3 of Congress, and tha Texas members of Congress elect; also, cx-Attorney-General Jeremiah Black, ex-Post-Master General M. Blair, and his father, Francis P. Blair, Esq., the last named presiding over the banquet The Wowing as the first toast was an nounced, namely : The day wc celebrate, and tho great event which made it a Na t'cnal Anniversary, when Mr. F. P. Blair read a paper appropriate to the occasion. Mr. Blair then proposed the health of the President of the United States, which was received with three cheers. The President, in rising, was again ap plauded. He said it was not his purpose to make an address on this occasion, but simply to propose a sentiment, which was read as follows: "No St;-w, of its own will, has a right under the Constitution to renounce its place in or to withdraw from the Union. Nor has the Congress of the United States, a constitutional power to degrade the people of any State by reducing them to the con dition of a mere territorial dependency upon the Federal head. The one is a disruption a dissolution of the Government ; the other is a consolidation and an extreme of despotic power. The advocates of the lat ter are also tho enemies of the Union and of our constitutional form of government." The sentiment was vociferously applauded. Senator IIendrick3 responcd to the last toast, namely, "The Federal Union; it must be preserved." The fourth toast was, "Andrew Johnson, the President o the United States. He is now receiving the full measure of thit vi tuperation which was meted out quite as lavishly to Jefferson and Jackson. Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, responded to this toast, and like Senator Hendricks spoke of the centralizing tendencias of the G ivcrnmcnt, the qu ;stion , still remaining whether the Federal Union can be pre served. If the country was to be sived amid tho madness which now rules the hour, history will do justice to the times in which we live. If the country is to be saved, Andrew John son will be recorded as one of its saviors; and if the couutry is to be lost, or the Gov ernment changed into a despotism, Andrew Johnson will be written down in history as one of hi defenders. The Senator was fre quently applauded. The fifih toast was announced The Su .rcma Court of the United States: The great conservative power of the Govern ment ; never more needed or better appre ciated than now. Judge Jeremiah Black responded, saying among other things, that the Court needed no defense from him. That Court had de cided against the legality' of military com missions, which had condemned to death three perfectly innocent men, because no human being up to this time had shown that tbey were guilty'. These three men were arrested and bro't before a body who were in no manner au thorized to inedJIe with these affairs, and which mockery was called a trial. The Court said in effect, that if the execution of these three men had taken place it would have been a murder. Thaddeus Stevens now attacked this decision of the Supreme Court, but Mr. Stevens told him, eighteen months ago, that thcc military commissions were utterly indefensible ; no man's life could be taki-.n away by them. Now Mr. Stevens ha changed his views ia order that his friends may enjoy the lux ury of shedding innocent blood ! Every Christian man should offer up the prayer that the Supreme Court may long live and cxefcue their great authority. His remarks were frequently applauded. The Hon. Charles II. Winfield, of New York, responded to the sixth toast, namely, "The conservative members of each branch of Congress, knowing themselves to be in the right, let them never be weary in well doing." A letter was received from Secretary Welles, apologizing for his absence, and of ferring the sentiment, "Our thirty-six States; the Union of all, the exclusion of none." This was received with cheers. The Hon. A. J. Rogers, of New Jersey, responded to the evcnth toast, viz : The army and navy, without having contributed to the causes of the late civil war, thsy had ever bcea ready to make the most extreme hazards at the call of duty. They will not now hesitate to protect the union of all the States which they have done so much to preserve. Mr. Rogers said in the course of his re marks that there were traitors in Congress trying to destroy the Union which the South ern States tried in vain to break assunder, and he warned his hearers of the necessity and duty of being prepared to maintain that all who are elected shall take their seat?. The Hon. Richard Merrick responded to the eighth toast The Flag of the Union, with its thirtywssix stars intact ; pakied be tbft traitvr hand that would Strike One of that number from its consecrated place. Mr. Merrick spotte of the destructive fa- safely place in charge the national standard, that none of the stars might be erased. When an insurrectionary party in power at the Capitol attempted to force a State out of tho Union, we are bound to protect that State. The ninth toast, the "Federal Constitu tion amendable only in the way prescribed by itself; it cannot be changed by mere Congressional majorities." This was responded to by the Hon. M. Blair, who read a dispatch addressed to him confidentially while he was Postmaster General, dated Nashville, November 24th, 18G3, and received on the 25th, from An drew Johnson, Military Governor of -Ten-nsssee, the latter Eajing: "I hope Presi dent Lincoln will not be committed to the proposition of the States relapsing into Territories. If he steers clear of that ex treme, his re-election to the Presidency is without a reasonable doubt." " I expected to be in Washington before this time to convrse freely with regard to the policy of this Government, but it is im nossihle! for m to leave Nashville. There is no reason to destroy the States to bring about the destruction of tlavery." Did not all the nation know," Mr. Blair added, "that this advice was adopted, and that reconstruction proceeded upon the doctrine laid down in that despatch. President Johnson would carry out the principle he then laid down." Mr. Cowan responded to the tenth toast, namely. The right of representation in both branches of Congress; one of the most invaluabl) and most unquestionable of all those which are secured in our great federal cam pact. Mr. Cowaa spoke of the dangers which surrounded the country, and said every American citizen ought to be on his guard to defend liberty to the death. This was the point to which the entire matter came. It was the duty of every living man to appeal to the people, to stand up for the law and the Constitution. The President at this poiat retired from the hall. The following regular toasts were then drank and responded to, namely : "The States of the American Union their rights under the Constitution are in destructible. The right of coercion, where it. exists, it involves the corelative duty of fraternity and protection." The State which cannot voluntarile secede caiiuot, agaiu.it its will, be prevented from occupying iu normal place in the Union wtth all its guarantied rights and privaleges fully pressrved.

The Women of America. The Presbyterian Church. A HAY OF LIGHT PERVADING TIIE DARKNESS. Rev. Dr. Van Dyke's Church, the First Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, has taken the following action : At the meeting of the session or the First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, under the pastoral care of the Rev. Dr. Van Dyke, held October 13, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, The Constitution of the Pres byterian Church expressly declares (Confes sion of Faith, chap. 31, see 4) that synods and councils arc to handle or conclude noth ing but that which is ecclesiastical, and are not to intermeddle with civil affairs which concern the commonwealth, and also (Form of Gov., chap. 1, sec. 7), "that the Holy Scriptures are the only rule of faith and manners, that no church judicatory ought to pretend to make laws to Lini the con science iu virtue cf their own authority, and that all their decisions should be founded upon the revealed will of God." And whereas, Successive gcnetal assem blies from 1GI to 1S03 have assumed the right to decide questions strictly civil and political in their nature, involving the inter pretation of the Constitution of the Unite 1 States, the relation of the States to the Fed. ral government, the proper policy to be pur sued by the Federal government, and the duty of the member of the cburclnn regard to the civil policy they should support in their capacity as citizens of the United State:', upon all which questions the word of God gave us no instruction whatever. And tchereas, The General Assembly of 1865 Issued instructions to fill the presby teries and church sessions under its care to enforce the adoption of the opinions con: tained in thoe political deliverances, as a term of ministerial communion and church membership in regard to persons coming j from churches in the Southern States, thus legislating where Christ has not legislated, and making terms of communion which he has not made, exercising a spirit of partial ity and throwing insuperable barriers in the way of re-union and peace in the church. And Kherecu, Tha Assembly of 1S66 is sued a decree excluding from their seats in synod and presbytery all those ministers and elders, to the cumber of more than 100, who had signed a certain protest, called a Declaration and Testimony against the po litical deliverances of the former Assemblies ; thus violating the express rule of the Con stitution, which says, "process against a gospel minister shall always be entered be fore the rjresbytery of which he is tv mera- nizes as belonging to presbyteries and syn ods, overturning our whole ' system of ap pellate courts, and visiting severe penalties upon ministers and elders against whom there is no accusation of heresy or crime. And tchereas, The Synod of New York and the presbytery of Nassau hare, by a formal vote, excluded Elder Darwin G. Eaton, tha chosen representative of this church, upon the ground that he is a eigrnsr of the Declaration and Testimony, thus in flicting a grievous and gratuitous censure upon an elder eminent for his piety, ability and usefulness, and restricting the constitu tional prerogative of this church to choose its own representatives from among those who are in good etandingaa members of ses sion ; therefore Resolved, 1. That this session, while pro fessing our firm and unalterable attachment to the doctrine and order of the Presbyte rian Church, and our sincere purpose to obey all the requirements of the higher courts of the Church which do not conflict with our allegiance to Christ, our Supreme Head, do at the same time solemnly declare that the acts and deliverances of the Gen eral Assembly recited in the foregoing pre amble, being unconstitutional and without warrant from the revealed will of God, are null and void, and of no binding force upon us. 2. That we will continue, as heretofore, to receive members into this Church, from churches in the Southern States upon the same conditions that we require of persons, coming from any other part of the world, viz: satisfactory evidence of repentance to wards God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that we will ask them no ques- tions whatever in regard to their political opinions and conduct. 3. That Elder Dawin G. Eaton is hereby appointed to represent this session in the Synod of New York and in the Presbytery of Nassau, and that we will appoint no other representative until his right to his seat is recognized, or until his good standing as a member of this session has been irapeachd l by a regular process of law according to the provisions of the Book of Discipline. 4. That a copy of these resolutions, &ign ed by the moderator and clerk, be transmit ted to the Sy nod of New York and to the Tresbytery of Nassax (Signed) Henry J. Vandyke, Moderator. G. C. Woodhcll, Clerk. Just Married. There is a class of un sophisticated tourists that daily catch the eye of the railroad conductor and old trav eler. Tbey have private rooms engaged at the stopping places, and imagine that thej have matters so well arranged as to escape detection ; and yet how easy it is to the care ful eye to tell how many day, or even hours, they have been married. Their dress detects them in part so neat and symmetrical If tho parties have good taste, all business is abandoned ; and she who was a fashionable belle last winter is now positively more like a young Quakeress in a simple traveling dress' of mouse color. There i? a sort of guiltiness in the way that arm Eteals around, firist on the top of the seat back, then gradually closer, and in silent acquiescence on the part of the bride, that tells the whole tale. In deed, she reveals the story most quickly ; her shoulders incline just a little, while she imagines she is sitting- uprightly to her bearded partner. For a few hours thus they travel ; but in the long run the head gravi tates to the husband's r-houlder, and there it will nestle innocently and confidingly in the repose of a newly found faith, as well as the happiness of honest, truthful love. Anl these young folks fancy themselves loit in the crowd, unnoticed and unknown, and with the secret that they are just married their own alone. Blessed innocents 1 Unfortunate Stranger. "Do you tell me, sir," said a stranger to a gentleman in a ball room, "who that lady is war the window that very vain looking lady?" "That is my sister, sir," replied the per son addressed, with a formidable look. "No, no, I don't mean her, said the un fortunate interrogator. . "I mean that ugly woman leaning against the piana, there's about as much expressioa in her face as in a bowl of bonny clabber." "That, sir, is my wife." "No, no," gasped the miserable stranger, the presperation starting from every pore. "Good gracious! I wish I could make yoa understand me! I mean that blear eyed ob ject in pink silk, tho one bo awful homely. I should be afraid fhe would splintcra looking-glass by looking into it There, she is looking at us now." m "That, sir," said the gentlman, with, fierce calmness, "is my eldest daughter." The stranger darted from the room and cleared the premises as though he Bad been struck with a presentiment that a powder magazine was going to explode in less than, three seconds. a KS" Frauds upon the revenue arejsot con fined to whiskey distillers alone.
