The Fatherless'.
Speak softly to the fatherless!
And check the harsh reply
That sends the crimson to the cheek,
The tear -drop, to the eye.
Theyhave the weight of loneliness
hi taus rade world to bear;
Then gently raise the fallen bud,
The drooping flowrets spare.
Sesk kihi3 v to the 4 1 itherlelss:
'the lowllliest of their Viand .
God keepeth, as the waters,
In the hollow of his hand.
Ma sad to see life's evening sun
Go down in sorrow's shroud, •
But sadder still when morning's d z awri
is darkened ley the cloud.
Look mildly on the fatherless!
Ye may have power to wile
Their hearts from saddeu'd memory
By the magic of a smile.
Deal gently with these little ones;
Be pitiful, ruid,le,
The friend and father of us all,
Shall gently deal with thee!
For the Susqliehanna Register.
I propose now to take a somewhat different vic'v
of ~ur school law—to hold it up- to view in another

appear more apparent, I believe it will be
L.itted by all. that all the laws in any state, fur the
rez:lation of trade and the common intercourse of
soot•ty, &.bonld wear a uniform aspect, be bimith,r
in their nature, and a aimilnr application and be-ar
ia; na community -4 that if they do not, discord
and aiscontent must inevitably ensue. Does the
last under consideration comport in its nature and
rnt , a-ith our other laws for the regulation of

4ion. and 'wonderful ! that the mere office of sehixil
director. should impart the fall stanum Loom of
competence in the important business of hiring
school teachers ? Common sense and all experi
ence are antagonistic to
,snob a preposterous idea.
White our agricultural societies are doing much
tc encourage industry and make every kind of do
mestic labor more available. I would propose fur
consideration, that our legislature at its next ses
;sm. should, for the flame' benevolent purpose, or
&in by law; that every kind of labor, done by hire
i 7 this state, be put under a directory, in manner
and form, corresponding to our law for managing
our schools. , Yes ; I would propose that a state
tax be levied imd collected thus constituting fund,
whereby to makelabor free ; that a board of di
rectors of labor in every township shall be elected,
whose duty it shall be to levy' an additional to in
'heir respective townships, within certain prescrib
ed limits :--determine the amount of all wages,and
make all contracts with all laborers within their re::
pective precincts. And Gents. how would you
like it 9 . Would not such a law be as reasonable
just—as beneficial=as benevolent as our
Khoo' law Y If that law does have a salutary and
benign influence over ow own schools, why would
not a law similar to that wbicn I have proposed,
have as happy and benign an influence overlabor

that she must nut venture out before the ,mild

A few days after the lady was able to go about

her on her recovery. Two of her children were in

Man. The hours were unusually long-- 7 -at least, so
thought Madame de Mert - al—.Del the young man,
on his part, was nu less impatient; but the forms
of society prevented him from presenting himself
as soon as he wished.
At length
.M. Alfred was announced. Madame
de Meryal advanced to welcome him, fuel, in order

" Permit me, Madame,;' said .M. Alfred. "to thank
roe for the welcome you have deigned to accord to
rue. Mid to crave your pardon -fur the liberty which
I have taken. .
" You hare spoken '4o me. Monsieur, of a serv

toy good wt-lies, although I have fears that my
counsel will he of. but little value."
- I have the best opinion of the excellence of
yo ur j u dgement,', replitld Alfred. "The question
v., hich 1 have to submit ,to you is delicate, and: I
dare to count, upon ettiire frankness upon your
pmt. -
- I firomi, , e you to be frank, Mortsi'eur."
"I have said that the:counsel-I seek is in behalf
of - 2, person who touches me very nearly."
"Ye-, .I.lonsieur, of a •dear friend!" interrupted
Nladame de Merval, scarcely repressing a miscitiev
ow.4 smile. which 31. Alfrkd pretended not to notice.
"In the first plll'e. it` is necessary to acquaint
you with my family tulle, which is De Lery.' •

a stroll; tub' di-interested conviction of justice and
probity. ate entitled to ;the_ re: peat of all honest

"I agree with yea - entirely, Maclaine."
"But. Monsieur, the mince which you have pro

, "It is kit too true, Madame."
"Ohl IMonsienr, if it ii for your safety that you
have desired to take counsel of me, I thank you for
your confidence. I will! tddyou to the utmost of
ni' ability. Speak with out fear, and consider me
at this moment, not as a stranger, but as a friend."
" I have truly judged, 3.latlatne, the nobleness of
your heart, and I pray von to accept this sincere

it was compromised, wilt. be but a secondary in--

"I listen, to von die greatest interest."
