As a school of religious instruction, it is
of inestimable value ; as a civil institution, I
it is priceless, and has doue more to pre
serve our liberties) than gravo statesman
and armed soldiers. Let it, then, be fos
tered aud preserved until the end of time.
I ouce di feuded a man charged with the
awful crime of murder. At the conclu
sion of the trial, I asked him what could
induce hiui to stain bis bauds with the
blood of a fcllow-bciug. Turning bis '
j blood-shot ryes full upon me, be replied,
IU a VU1C0 ' V"' "Mr.W cbstcr, m my
youth I spent the holy S .bUtli in evil j
au..scmcuts, iustead of frcqui-utiug tlie i
house 01 tiraver aud rraise." Could we
Viyv.i uu t
u uactk iu iuc early years ut an uarucucu
j crimiuals, I believe, yes I firmly believe,
that their first departure from tho path of
morality was when lUot ubandoued the
Sabbath school, and their subsequent
crimes might thus be traced back to tlie
Ueglect uf youthful religious instruction.
Many years ago, I spent a Sabbath with
Thomas Jeffcrs ju, at his resideuce in Vir
ginia. It was iu the month of June, aud
the weather was delightful. While enga
ged iu discussing the beauties of the Itiblc,
the Eound of a bell broke upon our cars,
when, turning to the sago of Monticello, I
remarked : "How sweetly, bow very
sweetly sounds that Sabbath bell !" The
distinguished statesman for a moment
' seemed lost in thought, aud then replied:
j "Yes, my dear Webster, yes ; it melts the i
i heart, it calms our passions, aud makes us j
1 boys agaiu." Here I observed that man J
was formed tor religious worship, and that
j notwithstanding all the sophistry of Kpi
; curus, Lucretius, and Voltaire, the Scrip-
turcs stood upon a rock as firm as unmovc-
able as truth itself; that man, in bis purer,
: loftier breathings, turned the mental eyes
toward immortality, aud that tho poet only
echoed the general sentiment of our nature
! in saying, that
j -The soul, secure in her existence,
; Smiles at the drawn dagger, and defies ils
point."
J Mr. Jefferson fully concurred in this
j opinion, aud observed that the tendency
! of the American miud was in a different
' direction ; and that Sunday schools (ho
: did not use our more correct term, Sab-
nattij preseuted the only legitimate
means, under the constitution, of avoiding
the rock on which the French republic was
wrecked. "Uurkc," said he, "never ut
tered a more important truth than when
bo exclaimed that 'a religious education
was the cheap defeuco of nations.'"
"llaikcs," said Mr. Jefferson, "has done
mola ur our nation than tho present gen-
eration will acknowledge; perhaps, when
1 am CulJi ho will obtain his reward; I
hpe so, earnestly hope so. I am consid-
"'any, Mr. Webster, to have little
religion, but now is not tho time to correct
errors of this 6ort. I have always said,
ani always will say, that the studious per-
bands. Of the distinguished Baikes, ho
was 'durcm ct vtncrulitc nomrn.'" I took
,uo liberty of saying that I found more
P'sure in Hebrew poetry than in tho
l)est productions of Greece and Borne; that
"tnc uarP uPn the billows by Babylon"
had charms for me beyond anything in the
numbers ot the blind man of bmyroa. I
tncn turned to Jeremiah, (there was a fino
folio of the Scriptures before me,)and read
aloud some of those sublime passages that
used to delight me on my father's knee...

The first baby was a great institution.
As soon as be caino into this "breathing !

be took commaud in our bouse. Every
thing was subservient to him. The baby
was the balance wheel that regulated every-
thing. He regulated the temperature, he '
regulated the food, be regulated the ecr- '
vauts, he regulated me. For the first six
months of that precious existence, he bad
me on an average of six times anight,
".Mr. Blifkins," says my wife, "bring that !

Public Corruption.
Wo take from the Cvn.jrcsswnal G!uU
(ho following episode, which occurred iu a
speech of Senator Toombs :
"We speak of the corruption of Mexico,
of Spain, of France, and of other govern
ments, with a great deal of truth, accord
ing to ali accounts; but from my experi
ence and observations, which have been
somewhat extensive, 1 do not believe to
day there is as corrupt a government uu
der the heavens as lhat of tho United
States."
Mr. Hale. Nor I, cither.
Several other Senators. I agree to that.
Mr. Toomiis. And-most of all its cor
ruption is iu thc legislative department.
When a declaration of this kind is free
ly made in our public balls by a public
man who has the best means of judging,
and meets the assent of other public men
of all parties, it is indeed time to consider.
There is no doubt that corruption has j
been from year to year growing at Wash
ington, and that tbe virus has cxteuded
more or less to all of the public bodies of
tbe country.

We observe an article c'.ing the round
of the papers, calculated to mislead tt.u
public miud in reference to the operation
j of the late military law. The Constitution
i provides for a militia enrolment and a mil-
itia tax. Tbe previous law Gxcd the tax
against every militia man at 50 cent". Thi
present act docs not change it. The fan I
i ctcated by this tax is appropriated to meet
the expenses of the military department
I and must be kept within that limit. One
Brigade can not draw up.;n the funds of
I another, or upon the Treasury of the State,
; fr any deficiency. Fur instance, suppose
j Chester county contained a taxable pnpu-
placc of lation of ona thousand, and the whole
j number were members cf volunteer com
1'il tell ! panics, then there would be no tax collect
able and no fund to draw upon ; thfy tconhl
have tn Jo without any jy. But if this
J thousand paid their tax, in preference t
joining a military organization, then tbcro
j would be a fund of 8500 for such v ulun
A place to ' teers as might exist, to draw upon. Tho
j law fixes the rate of pay at 51-50 per day,
: but it doe3 not provide means beyond
j the Brigade,and does not pledge the fuudsi
of the Commonwealth. The law fixes tho
' rate of pay fur not exceeding tour days
' and encampment. It is not probable that
the amount raised in Chester county would,
more than bear the expenses of the present
military organization, for an encampment
of three or four day?. Bat this act is a
manifestation of encouragement creditaMo
to the Commonwealth.
