liiPSuggestive and beautiful were the
dying words of Guithe :—" Open the
shutters and let in utore light."' But
not gore touching than those of the
schoolmaster, who had grown old and
gray, and with whom the term-time of
life was just closing. Ills eyes grow
dim as the shadows of death gathered
around him, and his thoughts returned
for a moment to the scene of his labor
and love, and he fancied it a winter's
afternoon, and the night. closing early
in, and so, dying he murmured, "It's
growing dark—the school may be dis
missed," and in an instant, the holiday
with him was begun.

GETTYSBURG, PENN'A.: MONDAY, NOV. 16, 1857.
Bread upon the Wgters.
••_•
Sketa from Zile,
"Ah, Jacob, now you see how all
your hopes are gone. Here we are,
worn out with age—all oar children re
moved from us _ by the ; head of death;
nd ore long we mast be inmates of the
poor-house. ' Where, now, is all the
bread yon have east upon the waterer
The old, white-haired man looked np
at his wife. He was, indeed { beat
down with years, and ago eat trembling
upon him. Jacob Manfred had been a
comparatiiely Wealthy man, and when
fortune 'smiled epos him, ho had ever
been among the first to lend a listening
car and a helping hand to the call of
distress; but now misfortune was his.
Of his four boys, not one was left.
Sicknees ;am! filling strength footed
him with but little, and they /ell' Win
penniless. Various misfortunes came
in painful succession. Jacob and his
wife were tilohe ' and gaunt poverty
looked them coldly in the face.
4 lDon't repine, Suearr," said the old
man. " True, wo are poor, but, we are
not yet forsaken."
"Not forsaken, Jacob ? Who is there
to help us now ?"
Jacob Manfred raised his trembling
fingers towards heaven.
" A h, Jacob, I know God is our friend;
but we should have friends here. Look
back, and see how many you have be
friended in days long past. You east
your bread upon the waters with a free
hand, but it has not yet returned to
you. ,,
" Hush, Susan, you forget what you
say.—To be sure, I. may have hoped
that some kind hand of earth would
lift me from the cold depths of utter
want ; but I do not expect it as a re
ward for anything I may have done.—
If I have helped tho unfortunate in days
kone by, I have had my full reward in
nowing that I have done my duty to
my ftllows. 0, of all kind deeds 1 have
done for my suffering fellows, I would
r.ot for gold have one of them blotted
from my memory. Ah, my fond wife,
it is the memory of the good done in
life, that makes old age happy. Even
now, I can hear the warm thanks of
those whom I' have befriended, and
again I see their smiles."
" Yes, Jacob," returned the wife, in
a lower tone, - “ I know you have been
good, and in your memory you can be.
happy ; but alas 1 there is a present up
on which we must look—t here is a reali
ty upon which we must dwell. 'We
must beg for food, or starve !"
The old man stdrtod, and" a deep
mark of pain was drawn across his fea
tures.
" Beg:" he replied, with a quick shud
der. " No, Susan—we are "
" We are what, Jacob?'
" We are going to the ponr-hoeqe!"
"0, God I thought so," Ml from
the poor wife'slipe, as elie covecoll bhr
faee with her bands. "1 have thetielit
so, and I have trie.l to school inpsell to
the thought : but my poor hezi•t will not
boar it !'"
"Do not giro up, Sagan," sa42lyurged
the old man, laying hie hand upon her
arm. "It makes hut little difference to
us now. We have not long to remain
on earth, and let ne not wear out our
last days in useless repinings. Come,
come.'
" But when--whea shall we go 7"
I' Now—to-day."
" Then, God have mercy upon us."
"Ile will," murmured Jacob.
That old couple sat for a while in si
lence. When they were aroused front
their painful. thoughts, it was by the
stopping of si light cart in front of the
door, IL man entered the room where
they sat. ' ITe was the porter of the
poor Mean.
,"Cotne,Mr. Manfred," he said, ‘ 4 the

Jacob 'Manfred' had riot calculated

"Are you after these people?"
" Yes."
" Then you may return. Jeenb

The porter gazed inquisitively into
the features Of the man who addressed
him,
and then left. the house.

by the hand,
"I cannot call you tb my memory

Jacob,Manfred tottered tOrward, and
sank updn the 'bosom of his preserver,
lie could not speak his thanks, for they
were too heavy fur words. • When he
looked up again ho sought his wife.
"Susan," ho said, tin a choking,
trembling tone, " my bread bas come

" Forgive me, Jacob."
"No, no, Susan. It fs not I who
must forgive—God held us in his

"All," murmured the wife, as she
raised her streaming eyes to heaven, "I

The Treacherous Hosts.
Many years since, a s'eafaring man
called at a village on the coast of. Nor
mandy, and asked for supper. and a,
bed; the landlord and landlady were
elderly people, and apparently poor.—
Ile entered into conversation with them
—invited thorn to partake of his cheer
—asked many ques.ions about them
and their family, and particularly of a
sou who had gone to sea when a boy,
and whom they had long given over us
dead. The landlaly showed him to his
room, and When she quitted him, he
put a purse of gold into hpr hand, and
desired her to take care or it till morn
ing—pressed her affectionately by the
hand, and bade her good night. She
returned 'to 'her husband and showed
him the accursed gold ; fOr its sake
they agreed to murder the traveller iu
his sleep, whiuli they accomplished, and
buried the body. In the morning ear
ly, game two or three relations, and
asked in joyfhl tones- for Alte• traveller
whci bad arrived tisetnight before. The
old people seemed greatly confused, hut,
said that lie had risen early and gone
away. "It is your 'own son, who has
lately returned from sea, and is come
to make happy the evening of year
days, and resolved to lodge with you
one night as a stranger, that he might
see you unknown, and judge of your
conduct to wayfarinzpariners." Lan
guage would b inootortool. to describe
the horrors of the murderers when
they found they had dyed their hands
.fhe blood of their long lost child.
They. confessed their crime; the body
was found, and Ow wretched murderess
expiated,their offence by being broken
alive on the wheel.

The National Thanksgiving.
"Then he said unto thera,'Cro your
way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet,
and scud portions unto them for whom
nothing ,is prepared; for this day is
holy unk. our Lord; neither be ye sorry;
for the joy of the Lord is ottr.strength."

Such Was the order given to 'the
people of Israel fOr the celebration of
their National and _Religious Festival,
the roast of Weeks." We learn from
thitt that '$ diy of gently rejoicing sod
giving of gifts . whs not only sanctioned
but enjoined, by Divine .authority, on
God's chosen people. Such yearty fei r
Alva! is . not positively enjoined on
Christian's • but that ft is both "eitpo
dientAnd beneficial may be safely urged,
when we find that the practice was
Approved . by our God and Father in
Heaven, Wo Wive, for many past
years, .urged the adventagesof having
a day Set apart ET thi civil authorities
of each State, which every heart in our
wide land may welcome as the time of
joy and thankfalneia for the American
PeoPl%.
- Our Day of Thanksgiving represonts,
in many striking coincidences, the Jew.
Ish Feast of Weeks; only make our day
national, and we should then represent
,the union of joy that was the grand
proof of the ..Divine blessing.
Such social rejoicings tend greatly to
expand the generous feelings of our
nature, and strengthen the bond of
anion that binds us brothers and sisters
in that true eytupaithy of American pa
triotism which makes the Atlantic and
the Pacific Oceans mingle in our mind 1
as waters that wash the shores of kin- 1
dred homes, and mark, from east to
west, the boundaries of our dominions.
The Creator has so constituted the
race of mankind that their minds need
a moderate portion of amusement as I
imperatively as the body at times i
wants stimulating food. this recrea
tive
joyousness, this return, if you
please, to the gayeties of childhood, is
good for the soul. It sweetens the
tehiper • it brightens hope; it increas
es our love for each other, and oar 1
faith in the goodness of God. There
are individuals and nation' who, from
an unhappy state of things, vice in
themselvesj
or in other persons, from
poverty, or political oppression, never
" drink the swoet.'nor eat the fat," but I
drag on a starved and miserable axis-1
tents), These are not, physitelly, true'
specimens of the human being • want
is written on the sunken cheek, and
wasting despondency cripples the feeble
limbs. . I
Even thus mental starvation from all;
the sweet joys of social intercourse and;
innocent _merry-making, has a wasting,
and deforming offset upon human char-'
user, similar to had or iusutticient diet
on the bOdily constitution. God intend- ) 1
ed that all our faCulties should, in the
right way, be -ekiercised ; and neglect
of such exercise •changes as to incom
plete creatures. One has but a. Lame
existence who has lost or neglected to,
cultivate " the store that. nature to her
votary yields." - Our . busy, wealth
seeking peer& require 'to liave days of
national festivity;when the fashion and'
the custom will. call them ,to the tenet
of love and thaokisgiving. . . .
.SO we agree with the large Majority .
of the governors of the different StateS,'
that THE LAST THIIIII3DAY IN NOVEMIIEB .I
should be the DAY or NATIONAL T itarilta- 1
GIVING; for the American people. Lets
this 'day, from this time forth, as long
as our Danner of Stars floats on the'
breeze, be the ' grand Tilasasoryisto
Hotroar of our nation, when the noise I
acrd tumult of worldliness may be ex-1
changed for the laugh of happy chil
dren, the glad greetings of faintly re-u
-nion, and the
. lisanbAti gratitude of the
Christian Yeart,„
Consecrate the day to benevolence of

fliiirlt is said that the foundations of
the new custom bonze at Now Orleans.
have already settled eighteen
and that the top of the building is now
six inches out of level. 11 is contended
by eminent engineers that the soil of
INfew Orleans will not sustain a weight
of more than ten pounds to the square
inch, whereas the weight of this build
ing is alone twenty pounds, to say noth
ing of the immense increase when it
shall be stocked with merchandise. It
is said to be the largest building of the
kind in the world. The corner stone
was laid by Henry Clay, in Its
entire cost is estimated at 53;225,000.
It, would be a great misfortune if so fine
a building should prove a. failure.

siding. in quiet and ease near Boston,
surrounded teeth all the comforta of life,
in opulent circumstances, he seems to
have given himself up to thseeoble re-
Isexition of aiding in good woes. We
know of no example more interesting
than the spectacle of a statesman who
has passed through most of the high
stations within the gift of his follow
citizens, who is' blessed by Providence
with an abundance of earthly posses
stone, who is not only a thoroughly
tidutested man, bat a student of the
world and of-men, as well as of books,
devoting the sunset of his life to the
, service of his country : Enduring as is 1
the laurel that surrounds the monument
of the Father of his Country, Mr. Bver
ett has accomplished a task supposed to
be beyond the effett of eulogy and of
rhetoric, by adding freshness to the un
dying fame of Washington; intertwin- ,
ing with that fame his own name, and
while deepening the popular affection
for the illustrious dead, obtaining a full
share of that affection for himself.
On the 9th of October Mt'. Everett
appeared before the New York' State
Agricultural Society at Buffalo, and in
the presence of ex-President Filimere,
Governor King, and a large assembly,
i delivered another remarkable oration.'
We regret we cannot lay before our
readers the whole of' this beautiful and.
marvellous composition—beautiful in
its streeture, marvellous in its ideas,•
and as complete as ono of those ancient'
statues or pictures which modern art
toils in vain to imitate. Read the fob.
lowing extracts, and then tell us if this
praise is too warm :
But, to speak in a more fitting and
serious train, I most confess that there ' j
hale always seemed to me something
approaching the sublime in this view of
agriculture, which (such is the effect of
familiarity) does not produce an ern-
'
pression on our minds in proportion to
the grandeur of the idea. We seem, on 1
the contrary, to take for granted that'
we live bya kind of mechan i cal necoesi 7
ty, and that our frames are like watehes;
made, if such a thing leeee possible; tees
go' without - winding up, In virteemr ]
some innate principle of subsistence' hi
dependent of our wills; wbleh is keyed
in other respects true. But leis net 1
1 less true, that our existence, tut individ- i i
! uals or communities must be kept up
1 by a daily supply nf footi . , l
,directly or
indirectly furnished by agriculture; and
that, if this supply should ' wholly fail
for ten days, all this miltitudinonte*
'striving, ambitions humanity, these we ' i
thong and kindred, and tribes of mon
would perish from the face Of the eve:
by the most ghastly form of disiolutien,,'
I Strike out of existence at °nee ten days''
snpply of eight or ten articles, each as
1 Indian ewer, wheat, rye, potatoes, rice,
millet, the date, the banana, and the
bread fruit, with a half-dozen others,
which serve as the forage of the domes
tic animate, atilt the human race would
be extinct. The houses weinhabit, the
monuments we erect, the trees wo plant,
stand in some cases for ages; but our•
owe frames—the stout limbs, the skil
ful hands that build the houses and wet
up the monuments and plant the trees
—have to be built up, recreated every
day, and this must be done from the
freiltte of the earth' gathered by agricul
ture.' Everything else is luxury, con
venience, comfort—food is indispensa
ble. i..
Then consider the bewildeling extent
tirade daily demand and supply, which
you will atlote tne to place before you in,
a ecimewhitt coarse mechanieal illustrit
tiOli. 'The hninan race is usually-esti
nutted at about ono thousand millions
of' Individnals.• If the 'snitenance Of a
portion of these multitudinous millions
is derived from othersourees than agri
culture, the; circumstance is balanced
by the fact that there is a great cleat of'
agricultural produce raised in excess of
the total demand for food. Let, then;
the thoughtful husbandman who desires
to form &east idea of the importance of
his persuit, reflect, when he gathers
his little flock about him to partake the
morning's meal, that ono thoasand mil
lions of fellow-men hare awakened from
sleep that morning, craving their daily
bread with the same appetite which
reigns at his family hoard ; and that if,
by a superior power, they could be
gathered at the same hour,
for the same
meal, they would fill both sides of' fire
tables reaching all around the globe
where it is broadest;seated side by side,
and allowing eighteen inches to each
individual ; and that these tables are to
be renewed twice or thrice every day.
Then let him consider that, in addition
to the food of the human race, that of
all the humble partners of man's Ola—
the lower animals—is to be provided in
like manner. These all wait upon agri
culture, as the agent of that Providence
which giveth them their meat in due
season ; and they probably censnme in
the aggreghte an equal amount of pro
duce; and finally let him add in ima
nationto this untold amount of da ily
food, For man and beast the "vitrions ar
ticles -a-filch are furnished directly or
indirectly from the soil, for building
materials, garniture clothing, and fuel.
