SABBAT1I SCHOOLS. The following eloquent letter from Hon. John M'Lean, of Ohio, showing the influence which Sabbath Schools may be made to exert on the character and pros. rity of the whole country, was read at the Anniversary of the National Insti tution to which it refers, at Philadelphia. There is no purer Statesman than Judge M'Lean ; and were he a wire-working po Ittician, or the victor on a bloody battle field, no man would stand a better chance for ihe next Presidency than the once poor Scotch Irish boy of New Jersey honest Johu M'Lean.J Circisati. April 10, 1849. I'ea Sir : Whilst I consider myself honored by the Board of Officers and Man agers of the American Sunday School l uion, in being placed nominally at their head, I can not repress a lear that, in ac cepting the position, I may stand in the way of some one of higher merit and of greater usefulness. The more 1 reflect upon Sabbath schools, the more deeply am I impiessed wilh their iniiorlaoce. Education without moral tmining may increase national knowledge, but it will add nothing to national virtue. l'y a most intelligent and able report, made some yesrs ago by Guizot, it ap lieared that hi those departments ol Franse v here education had been most advanced, crime was most common. And l.y later reports il is' shown, iu Prussia, Scotland, h I England, where the means oftducaiiou have greatly increased, tsjiecially in Prus sia and Sco.!and, ciiir.iui! effenecs iiavi increased. Making due allowance for the growth of population, and the aggression of individuals in carrying on various use. Ail enterprises, the principal cause of this is a want of moral culture. Knowledge without restraint, only in creases the capacity of an individual for mischief. As a citizen, he is more danger ous to society, and does mote to corrupt public moruls.than those without education. So selfish is our nature, ami so prune to evil, that we require chains, moral or phys ical, to cure our propensities and passions. Early impression are always the most lasting. All experience conduces to estab lish this. Who has forgotten the scenes ol his buy hood, or the pious instructions of his parents? However they may Im dis. gsrded and condemned by an abandoned course, yet they can not be consigned to oblivion, tu the darkest hours ol revelry they will light i.p the memory and cause remorse. And this feeling will generally, sooner or later, lead to reformat ion. W hutever delect there may be of moral t culture in our common schools, it is more than supplied in our Sabbath schools. 1 1, re the vt hole training is of a moral and reli ioiis ch.i racier. - , , . Impressions iIims mane can never 1m- eradicated. And it may not im ail extravagant calculation ... ci, to supp sc that every l;n years hve mill- .- i iii o i. i ions ol persons, w bo had U rn tsabLatli scholars, enter iulo active society. More; or les, iliey ni.iv b': supposed to be ii tlj eiicrd by the principles inculcated at thote schools. Restrained themselves by moral considerations, lie ir t xauiple m.iv hnvc some intluenceon an equal number of their associa'es. Here, then, is an element of power which must be sululnry on our social and political relations. The 500U thus done can not bs fully known ami si p preciated, a the amount of evil which it prevents can not be measured. It may bo assumed as an axiom, that free Oovornmeut cau rest on no other basi than moral power. France has a Renub- lie which is maintained by buy. nets. And there is reason to apprehend that in that lhere :s sunpn. ,orn, .,sis 1 for th.- n.am:ci.a..ce of a free goveri mm!. I Jiul are our own beloved institutions free from danger! Who has not sren the " yawning chasms'' in our own beautiful edifice t Its pillars seemed to be moved, its wall aud its dome, aud the contour of its fabric, have suffered ; and nolhing can restore it to its pristine beauty and strength, but a united and continued effort of the in telligent and virtuous citizens ofcurcojn- ry. Aud we must increase the number ol thec by every possible means. Sabbath Schools must be relied on as a principal agent in this great work. Without their aid, ( should look to the future with little hope.' Mere party ism should be discarded for principle ; and moral power, founded as it must be on the justice and fit ness of things, must be made the ground of action. When I consider the mighty trust, mor al and political, which, has been committed to us-when I reflect upon the extent and fertility of our country, its diversified and healthful climates, and its capacity for hu man enjoyment I am overwhelmed with the vastness of the subject. Rapidly as we have advanced for the last thirty years in the developement of physical resources and in the arts and sciences, the bow of prom ise still abides in the future. But a nation may be great in its physi-1 cal power and in its menial attainments, without possessing the basis of moral pow er, which is the only foundation for prac tical liberty. We could drive them from our shores without endangering our insti tution. But whilst I have no fears as to the permanency of our Government from influences and powers from without,! am not without apprehension from causes which arise among ourselves. This indeed is a strange paradox. Can we not trust ourselves? "Is thy servant a dog that Lc should do this thing ?" There is no security against the enormi ties of our race, which have so often dis graced the history of the world, but re straining influence which sen bounds to human passions. The superior civilization, moderation, aud justice, of modern times, is attributable lo the benign influence of Cbrisliuni'y. The ancient republics were destitute of this ower. Phy sical force was the arbiter of the right and the dispenser of justice. But now there is an element of moral power which more or less pervades all civilized nations, aud which has its foundation in Ihe Bible. No nation can disregard this law wilh impunity. If it be 110! embuue J in any published code, yet it is not the less powerful. It is w ritten in the hearts and understandings of mankind, il shakes the thrones of despots, who, through a line of anesTy of many centu ries, have governed ni'h an absolute pow. er. . To us, as a nation, f ie committed the great principles of free government, and we are responsible to iIiok who r.hall come after us for a faithful diseh irge of I he trust. Now, we must continue to build upou the foundation of our fathers. They wereeq'ia! to the ere is. Wash'iigton, and II uicock. and Adams, and their cohiimi riots, were good men as well as irreat nen.

BY MKS. E- M. SEYMOUR. " The school ma'am's coming ! the school ma'am's coining !" shouted a dozen voices, at the close of half nu hour's faith ful watching to catch a glimpse of our teacher. Every eye was turned towards her, ilh the most scrutinizing glance, for the children as well as others always form an opinion pi, a person, particul arly of their teachers, at first sight. " How tall she is!, exclaimed one. "Oh i do"11 S,,B look -'" .c-d .another. ' Ho j 1 ufrnid of her nor a d,,z,,n ,ike hf"r.' c:k'd lhf l,i-' bov of tne school.

I " Tom Jones," shouted lie, at ibe top of his voice. 1 "flow old arn jou, Thomas?" she asked. " Just as old aain as half.'' ans wered Tom with a saucy laugh. What do you study, Thomas V " XotSing.'' " VVhat books have you !" None." Without appearing at all disturbed by his reply. Miss VVrscoll said," I am glad I am to have one or two large boys in my school ; you can be of great assistance lo me, Thomas, aud if you will stop a few j minutes after school, this afternoon, we j will talk over a little plan 1 have formed.'' This was a mystery lo all, and particu larly Torn, who could not comprehend how he could be useful to any one, and for ihe first time in his life he felt that he was ol some importance in Ihe world. He had had no home training ; no one had ever told him he could be of any use or do any good in the world. No nn loved him, and of course he loved no one, but was one of those who believed he had got to bully bis way through ihe world. lie had al ways been called ihe "bad boy'' at school, and he took a sort of pride and pleasure in being feared by "the children and dreaded by the teacher. Aliss Wcscott at once comprehended his whole character, and began lo sha her plans accordingly. She maintained that a boy who at twelve years old made himself iea red among his school-fellows, was ca pable of being made something ol. Here ufote all influences had conspired lo make him b id, and perh tps a desperate character; she was de'ermincd to transform his char acter by bringing opposite influences to work upon him, and to effect this, she must gain his confidence, which could be done in no better way than by making him feel (hit she placed confidence in him. When so h H.I was out, more than half the scholars lingered about the door wondering what Miss Wescoit could be going to say to Tom Jones. Ho had oflrn been bid to remain after school, but it was always to receive a punishment or severe lectuie, and nine times out of ten he would jump out of the window before hall of the schol ars were out ol Ihe room; but it wns ev idently for a different purpose that he was 10 remain now, and no one wondered more what il could be than Tom himself. Don't you think, Thomas, that our school-room would lie a great deal pleas- auter il we had some evergreens to hang around ii ; something to make it took cheerful V inquired Miss Westcott. Yes'in. and I know wLcrc 1 can get plenty of tbeia." " VVell Thomas, if you will have some here by eight o'clock to-morrow morning, I r ill be here to help you put them up, and we will give the children a pleasant sur prise ; and here ate some books I wi: give you, Thomas : you may put them in your drawer ; I hey are what I want you to study." " Hut I can't study geography and his tory, exclaimed loin, coiituscu, I never did'" "That is the reason why you think you can not.'' replied Miss Westcoil. " I am ! quite sure you can, and you wi'l love them I know." " Nobody ever cared whether I learned anything or not, before,'' said Tom, with some emotion. " Well, I care," said Miss Westcott, with earnestness, 'you are caable of becoming a great and good m:in ; you are now form ing your character for lite, and it depends upon yourself, what .you beepme. The poorest boy in this country has an equal chance with the wealthiest, and his cir cumstances are more favorable for becom ing eminent, for he learns to depend upon himself. I will assist you all I can in your studies, Thomas, and I know you will succeed ; remember that I am your friend, and come to me in every dilTl -uliy . Tom Jones had not been hro't up, he had come up, because he had been born into the world aud couldn't he'p il ; but ns lor any menial or moral training, he ta- au guiltless of il as a wild bramble bush ol a pruning-knife. His father was an in temperate, bad man, and his mother was a f total v mellnienl worn in. Al home h" received nothing but blows, and abroad i nothing but abuse. His bad passions were therefon! all excited and fostered. ! and his uood ones never ca! led out He ; " always expected that his teachers would , 3 . ' hate him ; so he whetted anew his coin- 1 battive powers to nnnose them, and he had . . made up his mind 10 turn the "new school ma'am" out of doors. When, therefore, M:ss Westcot' declared that she was ;lad lo have him iu her school, he was amazed : and tint shn should tn inifest an iuleiesi ... 1-1- . r ii : ior 11101, atiu ve nun a set oi new uooks, was perfectly incomprehensible to him. Miss Westcott tluderstovl his position and character, and determined to modify them. She fell that he was equally capable of good and bad actions, though the bad now predominated. Site knew that his active mind must be busy ; one might as soon think of chaining the lightning as binding down by force ihat wild spirit to his books. She would give him employment but such as would call out a new set of ideas and thoughts. lie must feel that he was do ing good lor others' sake, and that he was not guided alone by his own way ward will, and yet there inusl be no appearance of re straint upon him ; hu must choose to do good. Tom Jones went home that niht with a new feeling in his breast ; for the first time in his life lie felt that he was capable of rising above his present condition, aud becoming something greater and better than be then was. His mind became iu undated with new and strange emotion, and like a mighty river turned from its course, his thoughts and energies from that hour sought a new direction. The nest morning he was up with the dawn, and wheuMiss Westcott arrived at 1 he school-house she found Tom there with his evergreens. " Good morning, Thomas," shn said, kindly, H and so you are here before me ;' you must have risen early, aud you have found some beautiful evergreens ; ami now if you will help me hang them, we will have the room well arranged by nine o'clock." I have brought a hammer and some nails," said Tom, ' I thought we should need some." " Yes, so we will, I am glad you tho'i of them,'' replied Miss Westcott. That day every scholar looked amazed to see Tom Jones actually studying his book, and to hear him answer several questions correctly, and they were still more confounded when at recess Miss Westcott said. " Thomas, you will take care of the little children, will you not, and see that they do not get hurt ? you must be their protector.'' One would have as soon thought ol setting a wolf to guard a flock of la. lbs, as Tom Jones to take care of the little children. Well," exclaimed Sam Evans, " i never saw such a school ma'am before in , all the days of my life ; did you, Tom !' No," replied Tom, but I wish I had, and I would have been a diflerent boy ffoin what I am na y ; but I am going to study now. and learn something ; Miss Weslcoti says I can ; 1 am determined to try." It wits astonishing to observe the efleel that Miss Westcotl's treatment of Tom had up. m the scholars ; they began to consider him of some imMirtanee, and tu feel a sort nt respect lor him, which they manifested first by dropping the nick-name Tom, and substituting Tommy, which revealed err tiinly a more kindly feeling towards him. In less than a week. Miss Westcott had her school completely uu.'er her control ; yet it was by love and resjiecl lhal she governed, and not by an iron rule ; she moved among her scholars a very queen, and yet she so gamed their confidence and esteem, that it did not seem to them sub mission to another's will, but the prompt- mi's of 1 heir own desire to please. One glance of her dark eye would hajfe quelled an insurrection, and one smile nude them happy for a day. Julia Westcott taught school with a re alization of the responsibdities resting up on her, and she bent her energies tu fuilil ihein. Caielully aud skilfully she unlock ed the soul's door, and gave a searching glance within, in order to understand its capacities and capabilities, aud then shaped her course accordingly. The desponding and inactive sle encouraged ; the obstin ate she subdued : to the yielding and tick le she taught a strong sell-rchance. She encouraged the one rain drop to all the j,ood it could, and the rushing torrent she turned where it would lerlilize, rather than dtstrov and devastate. There are in every school some dorm-J ant energies, which, il'roused, might shake the world. There are emotions and pas sions, which, if let loose, will, like I lie lightning ol heaven, scalier ruin and blight, hot if controlled, may, like 1 hat element, become the messengers of ttmuhi to the world. In that head that you call dull, may lie slumbering passions like some pent-up volcanoef "P1-" 'hat closed crater, aud see if lhere do not belch forth Hones which your own hand can not stop. Put helinsmau and pilot to that wayward mind which floats at the mercy ol wind and .m wave in the wide sea of thought, and you will sec it bearing its course beatifully up ou the waiers.and anchoring at last n rjuiet haven, laden with the riches of the earth. Call out the train bands of thought that he lurking under the benches of the school room, arm and equip them for action, and give yourself the word of command, and lend on, and see if there be not vigor en ough to scale those fortresses of knowledge which now rise like dark mountains be fore them. There is not a schi ol-room where there is not energy and vigor ami thought enough, il devclojied and directed, lo revolutionize the world. There are ge niuses which burst forth like a spring from the mountain, and there are also streams as beautiful and pure, far, far down in the earth, which will flow on for ever in their darkened course, unless some excavating hand digs away I lie hea d piles of earth above them, and then there gushes up an unfading well of pure and sparkling waters. The sculptor may form from the block of marble before him, either angel or devil; so the soul may be mado either a seraph home or a demon's haunt ; and Jo you not know, parent, teacher, that il is your hand that fashions the abode, aud beckons thith er the visitant ? I have seen a father mourn over his be sotted son, when his own hand pressed first to his child's lips the hellish draught thai sets his soul on lire. I have seeu a poor lene mother weep as if her heart would break, over her ruined idols. Yet that mo ther's smile beamed first upon the coming footsteps of Ihe destroyer, and her voice warned not her child of danger. In thai day, wlieu God shall bring everything into jndgment, will not the curses which rung so leai fully in the offender's ear in this world, roll back with crushing weight up ou those who fulfilled not their resjtonsibil iiies lot hem while young I Who knows that every murderer might not have Iteen a minister of mercy to wretched thousands? He was not born a murder; that sweet blue eye had no fiendish glare, as its baby face rested upon its mother's bosom that liitle hand bore no stain of blood as it clapped them in childish glee. Mo her, re member that earnest eye which mirrors thine own glance so lovingly, will ever re flect the light thou givesl it. A skilful far mer first prepares the ground, and then plants such seed as is adapted to the soil ; and shall we be less careful to make a fit dwelling place for the "thoughts ol immor tal mould," that spring up in the soul T and .-hall we not care and know what seed is own in those immortal minds which are hereafter to be judged by their fruits? The sower in the parable sowed good seed ; but that only which fell upon good ground bore fruit : had the thorns been rooted out, and the soil enriched, would not the other fields have yielded a harvest also t I have seen a teacher making bis ent rance into a school room by reading a list of rules, ol two or three feet in length : "You must do this you must do that,'" without a single remark of propriety or impropriety, the why and wherefore of tie? thing, but only "you must do il." You might as well exjwet to cure a man of stea ling by pelting him with Hiblea. The truth certainly hits bard enough aud so wouhl stones : let a man feel the beauty as well as the violence of the law, and be will tra quite as apt lo profit by it. Julia Westco't understood human na ture. She made it her study, as every teacher ought to do. She rooted out erroi aud prejudice from the minds of her pupils, showed them the evil ol in and the beauty of virtup, the advun ags of education, an J the consequences of ignorance : taught them their own capabilities, and adapted her instructions to their capacities and ne cessities. Aud thus she went on, year af- -ler year, scattering good seed into gooJ ground, and she has reaped an abundant harvest. From many a happy home anj high place comes a blessing upon her, and there is no one who breathes her name with grea ter reverence, or remcmbprs her with more grateful affection, than "Tom Jones.'' who j.as filled, with eminent abilities, one of the highest judicial office- in the Union, and who freely acknowledges that he owes his present character and position entirely to her treatment and exertions.

We draw our breath heavily, (says tho Lancaster Union & Tribune) as we write these melancholy words. Our hearts hafj been with the brave Magyars through all their terrible and unequal struggles ; but at the same time our fears have gone band in hand with our hopes. It seemed indeed as if the God of Battles must take sides with Kossuth and his heroic band. It seemed indeed as if the arm of the Almigh ty would have been mado bare in his de fence; and that the enemies of Liberty would have been arrested in their unholy work, by some miraculous interposition ot Heaven. But the time is not yet. An all wise and far seeing Providence has willed thai it shall be delayed for a season. The dear blessing of Freedom,' for which ihe brave Hungarians lought and prayed, can not be had without a still dearer sacrifice.
