Wwontend, that Teachers, and School offl
cersought liberdlly,,iq supply the s.chools:under
their instruction and care, with a, requisite
quantity of the best appliancesforj illustrating,
and-imparting iniruciion. as in, he,: erid,. the
most profitable investment that can possibly be
made: By their prpper use the amount of in
struction in a given time will be greatly in
creased ; hence, time of pupils, and itnqney
of patrotis are both savbd; Some teachers
have found their reputation, as instructors at ,sp
much of an advance, that they could easily ob:
tain 25 or 50 per cent increase in their wages,;
or tuition, although a large, proportion of-their
success was chiefly -owing to a trifling, sum
laid out for aids, like ?l bread cast -upon the
wat.ers," which-they soon found; again ih, 'their
ownincrease of pleasure in teaching,, and in.
the improvement of their schools? i: Well adapt-
ed?appliances, such 'as.Charts, Globes, Diaries,
&.C., are indispensible requisites in order that
children shall " acquire instruction with delight."
This acquiring withfdelighl is of great impor
tance and. it.may be .safely concluded respecting
all innocent knowledge, that if a child acquire,
it with pleasure, he is well .taught. If .edu-.
cation if so conducted, that it is a poshire pleas;
ure .for a. child to learn, (and there is more gen
uine satisfaction jn hard study than in lax inert
efforts,) there is little doubt but a habilxund love
of inquiry will be induced. Gjeaj advantages
are.gained by this kind of early intellectual.cul
ture. ' .
While the child begins his acquisitions with.
the interest and delight spoken of, the instruc
tor should constantly have means at hand, and
in use, that shall keep the mind shut, up to a
kind of.pleasing necessity, (not rigorously felt
as such,), to " press onwards.;" and. in this way
to implant habits of self-improvcmeuJ, an.d self-
control. Means may also be in use to beget
and retain the co-operation of parents, and pat?
rons.
No one pejson, we beJieVej has gone so
thoroughly, and. successfully into compiling
and furnishing an extensive variety of u Schdol
Requisites, and Educational Incentives," which
are also put up as " Teachers' Books of Instru
mentalities," (either published or in the course
of publication,) as Mr. Wickham of New York;
a devoted friend to the interosts of the ydiirig
jn more departments than this. We know in
cidentally and by letters received liy ourselves,
that his works are meeting with decided appro
bation on the . part of teachersj and we are hap
py to find they are aids adapted to ever)' grade

entent into every state of the Union. One
pleasing feature pertaining to them all is, that
moral instruction and maxims are blended with
fir-- :
the intellectual ; the former being aids to the
latter. Anothcrvaluable chajactcrisiic of these
works, is, that each edition is to bear marks of
every possible improvement that can be com-

Tfe 'following are some of the axioms which
Mr. ' Wickham's plans' -are intended (of carry
out, which wV haive clipped from the catalogue
of'the Publisher!'' : '
T. Teachers must liaVe aids or means by1
which to impart and illustrate their instructions,
as uell'as possess capabilities of imparting
inpwle"dge. An eminent officer of the New
ori Cjty Public School Society recently said,

We would conclude biir, perhaps tbo :exten
ded remarks, (from the importance of the topic,
we could scarcely have sai'd less,) by asking
those who are capable either? of devising, ma

performance of their work, and yet do neither,
whether they can turn aside their responsibility
in the case, and feel as they would desire.

The ladies iriimediately emptied their trunks

dinner arrayed in all the splendor o( beautiful
lacbs ahd costly silks: At the table nil eyes
were directed towards the Senator's sbn, and
many a fair one anxiously desired ah ihtrodiic
tion. The afternoon passed by-'-evening ap
proached and ah hour before the usual lime,
the company assembled in the dancing room.
At Ufne oclorck, precisely, young Mangum
entered the hall and a buzz of admiration fol
lowed. One of the belles fortunately .attracted
his attention, and he led her to the dance. His
everymovemeni was ciosely observed, and from
(lie ladies such exclamations as
" What princely manners ! n Such a magnifi
cent figure. Such graceful dancing ! A love
of a foot h .0,'he isa duck of a dear, charming
fellow ! and other similar expressions peculiar
I,,belicvc to,thc sex.
During the entire eveningj the' favoritb; Belle
received the most -devoted attentions fromftMr.
Mangum. Many bf the ladieS4 who thought
they possessed some attractions were greatly
mortified at. his marked preference, and two or
three of the gentlemen evinced the strongest
symptoms of laboring under the influence of
envy and passion. Your friends, the witty and
graceful Col. and the accomplished and
-handsome Major were completely thrown
into the shade, and your humble servant. Rustic,
was driven from the list of competitors. The
Senator's son was declared victor, and nobly
did he bear his honors. '1 he next day Mr.
Mangum was again the reigning Ijon. He was

Gold Pens; : - -A
iBtieKlrom ih'e' New York correspondent
dfthe 'Ch'drlesion CoiinVr-contains the follow-'-
ing inibresting statistics of .the' gold htanitlac- J
ture : ' j.it
Trie controversy 'about gdld pens waxes raih-
er wami, thb dealers trying to undersell each '
other, until a pen and silver case can be bought
at $1,23. The first rpen I bought cost S5.
This business, by th'6 way, is a striking fn
8tan'ceof lhe rapidity with whichj :inrihis:cpun-i
Iry; a Yarikee notion rgr6ws bp 40 bb a matter
bf(ne'rchntile importance. It is only nineyeanw
smce-tHe first gold -pert was manufactured, and
now they are numbered by thousands: weekly.
I' well remember using silver pens previously:'
to 1835, but they were without hardened points
br elasticity, and soon became useless. In
1838, Rev. Mr. Cleveland conceived the Idea,
ihat peiis might be made of gold, whfch woultO
be better than Squill pens, and more econbniica'lf
although made of such costly material '"H
communicated his idea to Brown, vvho improved'
on thfem, and .whip Was. the first maker of gold
pens in this orany other country. After Brown
carhe Bagley, and then a dozen Other makers,
iUch tyas the demand for the article. Bagley
is jhe rhoat extensive manufacturer. Surpri
sing as. u may sbem, he "employs a capital of
$80,000 in this business. His expenses are
$1,000 per week. A house made a contract
with Brown' & Bagley, ih the early stages of
the business, for all the pens they made, and
thus had a mdndpoly of the business for three
years. They sold $75,000 per annum of this
article, nearly one. half of which was profit.
Bagley then went on and made a rapid fortune-.
His pens rank the first in the market, although:
the " Rtchlieu" pen, made by E. Watson
Cb., is equally good. They possess in tho
highest degree, the requisites of durability and
elasticity, are made of the finest material, and
furnished in the most workmenlike munner. In
the manufacture of pens, the gold is first. rolled
out in ribbons, and then cut with a die the re
quired shape, and points put on, and then ground
down to. the required nib; The points are' all
imported generally, without the 'ceremony iof
art introduction to the Custom House, and cost
from $7 id $55 per ounce. The pens and ca
ses sell at from $10 to $30 per dozen. The
manufacture of the silver cases is a distinct
business, and employs a large capital. It is
not easy to make an estimate of the number:
of pens manufactured per annnrrr, but it i .nJai
probably less than 1,000,000, of 'vfhyJtk Bagley
makes nearly one-half. A pers6n. who had riot
thought of the subject wouhi scarcely suppose
that eight hundred pounds' weight of gold were
used up every year in the manufacture of such
a trifling article as pen, a business unknown
ten years ago yet soch is the fact. The. de
mand for the article isenormous, and it is now
difficult td find a. person who writes at all un
provided with, this most economical of all pens.
One export of 1,000 gross has been made to
England -where they, sell for a guinea a piece.
