Lyrics of Hi ' SHqael2ajina--.j 5.
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

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

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

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

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
