Below, will be found the advertisement
f a popular new work, to which we direct
particular notice. Having bought a copy
of this edition, and compared it with the
large aud costly full work, we believe that
or general use this contains everything
lesirable. It is a good sized volume, fair
print, with a number of spirited
00(j i
engravings, illustrating iuiportaut portions
of the most fascinating narrative. Agents,
we think, would find this the most tafe
book investment for the times, as all the
reading world have some knowledge of
Livingstone's Explorations, and desire
to know more. Mr. Bhadlev, the Pub
lisher, we think, offers fair terms.

very well cultivated. There is very
great deal of squalid poverty among the
blacks, but it is principally owing, no
doubt, to their incorrigible laiioess. It
takes about fourteen of them to do an or

It is a customary thing (remarks the Ohio
State Journal) with Members of Congress, to
keep Autograph Books, in which are inserted
signatures, accompanied sometimes with an
autograph sentence or two, of ibe Senators or
Representatives who may serve at the same
time. A friend, who saw not long since the
Autograph Book of the venerable Representa
tive of the 20th District, (Mr.GtnBisoa) was so
much pleased with the lines addressed lo him
by ihe late President A nms.thai he obtained a
conv.which we gladly transfer lo our columns.
The names of Aoim and Oiddircs will be
hallowed in Ihe grateful remembrance of all
true lovers of Freedom,Justice and Humanity,

When first together here we meet.
Askance each other we behold
The bitter mingling with the sweet.
The warm attempered by ibe cold.
We seek with searching ken lo find
A soul congenial with our own :
For mind in sympathy with mind!
Instinctive dreads to walk alone.
And here, from regions far apart.
We came, one purpose lo pursue,
Each wilh a warm and honest heart.
Each wilh a spirit firm and true;
Intent with anxions aim lo learn.
Each other's character we scan.
And soon the difference we discern
Between the fair and faithless man.
And here, with scrutinizing eye
A kindred soul with mine to see,
A longing bosom lo descry,
I sought, and found at last, in thee.
Farewell, my friend ! and if once more
We meet within this Hall again.
Be onrs the blessing to restore
Onr country's and the righto of men.

LEWISBURG, UNION CO., PA., FRIDAY,
voa ma tswiiacaa auuwiaa.
Mr. Chronicie : In your last num
ber, One asks some of your "able contri
butors" to give information to teachers in
regard to the Blank Reports prepared by
the School Department for the uso of Sec
retaries of School Boards, or District Su
perintendents, in their monthly visits to
schools coder their care. Though I do
not consider myself one of your aUe con
tributors, yet I will venture on an expla-
nation. If 1 miss the mar, iei aaoiuer
one try it
Th Erat bead that has any bearing upon
the subject, is, " Atttndanc." Here, the
Report asks for the "Best class," and
"Worst class." "Boy who attended most
regularly during the month." "Girl who
attended most regulaaly during the month."
These questions can be readily answered,
by referring to the Register, or Teacher's
Monthly Report.
Under the neit head we find "Conduct
and Order." Here, again, the beat class
and worst class, the best boy ad best
girl, arc to be reported, by way of encour
aging good conduct and order in the
schools. It will not be difficult for the
teacher to determine what pupils are most
orderly and obedient, or most disorderly.
And, lastly we come to the subject more
directly under consideration's : Frotpreu.
This docs not, in my view, require the
teacher to discriminate between the lett
and the icortt of pupils or classes. It has
no direct reference to the most advanced
class, or most advanced pupil. But it
simply asks what class made most advance
ment (according to the several abilities of
its members,) during tlta ao4ak , aU tka
name of that boy and that girl who im
proved most during the month. It is true,
the teacher, ia order to do justice to his
school, should be acquainted with the va.
rious capacities and advanUgea of bis
scholars, and mark them according to the
improvement of those talents committed to
them. The unfaithful steward was not
condemned on account of having received
but the one talent, but because be did not
improve it. Yet, in too many cases, the
intellectual who with little effort can recite
long lessons, are applauded, while the dull,
who labor much harder with leas success,
ara called "blockheads."
"Thomas," said I oace to an apparent
ly dull scholar, who was always found at
the loot ot nis class, except wneo otoer
pupils took his place for a short time,
"111 give you this book if you will gst to
Ibc hesd of your class this week." "Tom"
didn't utter a word, but bis looks seemed
to say, that book is mt'ne. Next dcy,
"Tom" was not at the foot, and before the
week bsd ended, he looked up at me from
the bead of the class, aod said in a trium
bant voice, "I'll take that book, now, if
you please." The book was his ; but, a
few days afterwards found "Tom" at his
accustomed place, at the foot of the class,
which nothing but bribes could induce
him to leave, again.
Now, fellow teachers, did I do right in
offering Thomas the book, after using
every other means I could think of to get
him interested in his studies ? Is it right,
is it expedient, to offer prises or rewards
to those who occupy the head of their
class for the greater number of times dur
ing the term ? Should Thomas be repor
ted as a dull scholar, or as a good scholar?
How should such a scholar be treated?
What plan should I have adopted to get
him to study, after I knew be had the
abilty to learn ? II.
taTThc Editors would add to the above,
that the late edition of Com. Sch. Latct
page 122 to 126 contains a lengthy and
we should suppose sufficient, as well ss
official, explanation of the Hank noder
consideration, to which we would call the

DOtice of gi coneerDed. We have several
copies of these Laws(English and German)

Slander Refuted. A clergyman
was charged with having Tiolently
dragged his wife from a revival meet
ing, and compelled her to go home
with him. The clergyman let the
story travel along until he had a
fair opportunity to give it a broad
side. Upon being charged with the
offence, he replied as follows : "In
the first place, I have never attempt
ed to influence my wife in her Tiews,
nor in a choice of meeting. Second
lymy wife has not attended anj of
the revival meetings here, in tue
third place, I havo not even attended
any of the meetings, for any purpose
whatever. To conclude neitner my
wife nor myself havo any inclination
to p-o to these meetings. Finally I

A delicate young lady, aa invalid, a
patient of ours, in an excursion with sev
eral others, was "overtaken" by nightfall,
and by a young gentleman. They were
in a boat, and the boat was in the mud,
the tide having gone out oo a visit to tie
sea, and "there they were," a mile from
shore, and several miles from home ; that
mile was extraordinarily long and short
Only think of it ! A whole mile o?er a

bulrushes, carrying in the arms a young
lady of eighteen, with ooe of the sweetest
voices, faces aod forms to be seen in or
out of Jersey. Bespattered with mud,
driBpine with to and dear and slush,
streaming with perspiration, and wearied
with hunger, thirst aod fatigue, delighted
and excited with the novelty of the thing,
tbey reached home at midnight. The
next day she "didn't have anything the
matter with her at all I" Why ? She bad
taken lessons of us. Instead of pulling off
her bonnet and abswl, and sitting in a
cool place,or instead of undressing at once,
aod thus letting the air check the perspi
ration, she went into a warm room, closed
the doors aod windows at the same mo

at intervals, and when cooled oil, in lac
course of half an hour, retired to sound

Another man rode three miles with a
little child sleeping ia his lap, which,

near one o'clock before he left for home,
and he reached it most thoroughly chilled.
Next moruicg he bad pneumonia, and
never got well.
Remaining at rest for hours io a cold
room in raw, cold, damp weather, is
enough to kill three men out of four, by
bringing on congestion of the lungs, lung

and has now had many years of trial,
we
believe to be unsurpassed as a pickle. At
this period in the season, when farmers
and others will soon be putting down
their winter'', aod we may add their next
year's supply of meat, it may be of ser
vice to republish the receipt, which is aj
follows :
To 1 gallon of water,
take 1 J lbs of salt,
i lb. brown sugar,
i ox. saltpetre,
1 oa. potash.
In this ratio the pickle to be increased
to any quantity desired.
Let these be boiled together until all
the dirt from the sugar and salt rises to
the top and is skimmed off. Then throw
the pickle into a large tub to cool, aod
when cold, pour it over your beef or pork,
to remain the usual time, say from four
to six weeks, according to the size of the
pieces, and the kind of meat. The meat
must be well covered with the pickle, and j
it should oot be put down for at least two
days after killing, during which time it .
should be slightly sprinkled wilh powder
ed saltpetre.
Several of our friends have omitted
the boiling of the pickle, aod found it to
answer equally as well. It will not,
however, answer quite so well. By boil
ing the pickle, it is purified for the
amount of dirt which is thrown off by the
operation, from the salt sod sugar, is sur

Obioin of the F. F. Vs. Many of
our reader have heard of the "First Fam
ilies of Virginia;" but few, we take it,
know how the term originated. An ex
change explaios it thus :
In the early settlement of that State, it
waa found impossible to colonize it unless
women went there. Accordingly a ship
load was aeut out, but no planter was al
lowed to marry ooe of them until be bad
first paid one hundred pounds of tobacco j
for her passage. When the second ship
load came, no one would pay more than
seventy five pounds for the matrimonial
privilege, except it were a very superior
article. Consequently, the descendants of
all those who were sold for ooe hundred
pounds of tobacco were ranked as the first
families; aod the reason why no one can
ever find any of the second families, is be
cause you eao'l get a Virginian to admit
pounds of tobacco !

Mr. Stewart, the Democratic Governor
of Missouri, is a beautiful representative
of the Border Ruffian Chivalry. Twice,
since he filled the Gubernatorial chair, he
has been vhipped tchen drunk. A few
days ago he was found drunk at a negro
icedding. Upon this, the Jefferson City
jrtgm'rersays : "If frolicking with negroes,
drinking wilh negroes, and eating with ne
groes, isn't establishing ' negro equality,'
we would like to know what is?"
Of Judgo Douglas' slaves on a Louisi

"We betray no confidences when we say
that Mr. Slidell, (of New Orleans,) when
in this city declared that the condition of
these slaves was a disgrace to their owner;
that they were badly fed, badly clothed, and
excetticely overworked!"
The Supreme Court have granted, by a
