CARLISLE, Nov. ISM We have a word of advice for parents who have children at School. Your little ones are dear to you,—about as denr, perhaps, tie the apple of your eye. Their success at school is near your heart. Of course you will do nothing to interfere with it. You are anxious to help them •along— provided doing so will' not too seriously. tax you. Ynf know as well. as we bow it can be done efficiently, at cheap cost—pardon us for refreshing your knowledge on the subject with a few hints. Keep them regularly at school. Absence of a day is bad. They lose a day's lessons.— They drop a stitch by the means. It deran ges the teacher's plans, and makes it easier for the absence to occur again. Better suffer a great inconvenience than keep them home a day. Bettor spend several shillings and some hours, and do l the errands'yourself, than keep them liome to run them. Be sure they aro punotual. Ten minutes in the morning does you no_good, and them much harm. Arrived at the school room ten minutes too late, they . disturb the punctual, lose an exercise, provoke the teacher, and cultivate a miserable habit oiiprocrastination: The matter of habit is the great objection though, In `after years it sticks to a body like ti.bny to a bare backed Norge, and the har der ono runs to be clear of' it, the closer it hugs him. They have lessons to learn out of school, - - lot it be held a religious duty that they learn them well. By this the teacher judges of,your interest in their progress. If they always go prepared on these borne lessons, he is careful that they get well on in their school lessons; he feels that he is watched; he is interested fOr your children ; end whether he means it or not—iltnows it or not—lie labors more faith fully for their advancement. If the eviden es are that you.pay no attention to them at home, lie does his duty mechanically,. matronly hops for the best. Sometimes you have a little leisure. Once in a great while you don't know what to do wills yourself..- Then, we pray you, bestir yourielf, and take an hour to visit- the school. Make, suddenly, your appearance in the.room where they AIT reciting. You wilt see whe ther the room is a nmanly-venlilatatl, close, and stifled pen, or a room tif fora half-fledged immortal to grow in; by whose side they sic :whether they looked tired, weary and languid, or if they were carefal to learn, and doing welly-whether they are asseoiating with lads or lasses fit for their company, or breathing impurities and contracting evil habits, una wares, daily. • Try it a month, if you are. now doing it, find -accept:our - 1)10h° that before the thirtieth day is up, you will see a most marked improve: went in your little folks' scholarly habits and attainments, and thtit you will come to a con. elution that their teacher is one of the best in the world.

PIIILADIMPIIIA," October 23, 1953 Dear S.-,llaving procured a ticket that would admit:me to laurel Will Cemetery, starlet', about 8 o'clook in the morning, to visit that interesting spot; The walk (about four miles,) woo delightful. It was refreshing to get into the ciuntry once more, especially nt tbib season of .the your, when the trees aro putting on the rich livery of Autumn. It is, at the same time, the most appropriate season in which to visit the resting place of the dead. Thoughtful Autumn ! The fields are shorn of their verdure—the feathered songsters no more delight the eai4or the bright flowers, the eye —tl.o sighing wing, as it otrips the. trees of their foliage, wails a sad requiem forthe fall of the Mat; and the withered leaf itself speaks volumes to the reflective mind. A little while ago, it was attached to the Parent stem, full of life, and vibrating with every, zephyr that played around ,it, now--dead, discolored, and trod ion under foot; a fit memento of life. Laurel Hill, is north of Philadelphia, be tween the Ridge Road and the Schuylkill river. The entrance to the Cemetery is by a gateway in the Dodo style, with -Lodges on each side. Ascending the first night Of. steps, immediately. opposite the entranoe,you'filig Thomas statues 'of Sir Walter Scott, Old Mortality and his Poney,grouped togethor, under an ornamental Temple. Old Mortality is scatted .on a tomb-' stone, looking up from his work, conversing with Sir Walter, who is seate 1 on an upright, headstone; the patient ooking Poney is lean ing, as it were, against another tombstone, on which is inscribeff—John King, 1962. The monument of the slaughtered Presbyteritins, on which old Mortality is ,at work, has on it several names, one of which is, " Richard Ca morort;.mainister, of the-Gospel." The artist, has successfully embodied iu stone, a descrip tion of thegroup,which you will find in Scott's novel of "Old Mortality," which, by the by, I advise you to road, and his triumph, is still more complete when we know the fact, that as a sculptor, he was self-taught. After contem plating Old Mortality, I turned to the right, and came to the Godfrey monument. It is an obelisk, ornamented by.a ship and a quadrant, and marks the grave of Thomas Godfrey, the inventor of the mariner's quadrant. Ho was born 1704 rind died 1749. Near the chapel, is. the monument of Gen. Hugh Mercer, who was killed in the battle of Princeton. Ile was buried in Christ Cliuroh . gi : aveylo,"in•Secolid street, from whence lirsvonattins Were removed in 1840, to their present resting place. The monument tells the story of the deceased "Dedicated to the Memory of Gen. HUgh Mer cer, who fell for the sacred cause of human liberty and American. Independence, in the battle of Princeton. He poured out his blood for a generous principle." Gen. Mercer was a native of Sootlands and an assistant Surgeon in the battle of Culloden, where the Pretender, Prince Charles Edward, made his last effort to wrest the crown of Great Britain from the house of Hanover. On the cornice of this monument, is sculptured a sword and k scub. - bard,-th Ano _ p_erfect....picao _of_ work. Y . havo.-- ever seen in marble. I nest visited the Gothic-- Chapel ; it is small, but very neat, and 'has a large decorative window of stained glass. Near the chapel, is the monument of Maj. Twiggs, of the marine corps, and his eon, both of whom [were killed in the Mexican war. The shaft is surrounded by boarding spikes, and the base is ornamented by an anchor, shield, and coil of .ropo. Ou the brow of the Mil,. is a large grants monument, erected to the memory of Charles •Tliompsen. Ile was long the Confi dential Secretary of thO'Continental Congress. Ile Avaab'Orn in Ireland, in 1729, and died in 1824,fu1l of honors and of years. The monu ment of Commodore Hull, it is seld, is mod deled after that of the Sciplos,..at_Rotne, with the addition of the American eagle, perched on the centre. The inscription reads:—.t neath this stone are deposited the remains of Isaac Null, Captain in the Navy of the United States " " His monument should have been made of the good old ship, Constitiiition, 'fa miliarly known so fronsides, for she Carried tho first American flag that Was run, up to the masthead, above tho Union Jack of old Eng. land. Near this is the tomb of a lady who died in Egypt, which has on it a view of the Pyramids, with Palm trees. Footways run through the ground, in every direction, and the spaces aro surveyed off in small Plots, taking a variety of shapes, squares, half circles, oblong and oval, and all are en closed with chains or railing, fdstened to mar ble posts atdhe corners: one let : is enclosed , entirely with marble. having dials out on the four sides of the massive posts. The lots are kept refreshingly green,'nearly,all having iron settees Onside, and the graves arc - beautified with tlowera and. evergreens. As I approached the river, the rural:character of the scene was still more striking; fine old.trees oast a solemn shado'sround the graVo of those who '.

His monument is n'yinrble rock in its ntHural state ; on the top nreplaced an Urn, and Lyre, beautifully and richly abased ; on a marble tablet fastened ,to the rook is the fol lowing inscription:—Joseph C.

He died after a long and oventfttl life of 86 years. _ As a_contrast, close by was the grtive of- an- infant, inscribed :-L" Not here, but risen and gone." Taking a path to - the right, I found a broken column, ereated'to the memory of ono On the skin is sculptured a:leket of flowers, inscribed:—Our Rate.

A TURNPIKE AND A DIVORCE. tl certain Captain a hale, good hu mciratt man, beloved by : all who knew' him, and n, certain Dr. R---, one of the handsomest men-alive, and ['gentleman all over, met a few days since, in Trenton. It was during the ses sion' of, the Legislature, which, as every one knows. IN .whenever it happens, a great fea ture in Trenton life, and a ptegnarit item in the history of Now Jersey. Both the Captain and the Doctor were .bor ers—lobby members—not for the benefit of, their own pockets but for the public, comprised within, the limits of Camden, which as you know,is a great city, located opposite to the retired hamlet of Philadelphia. The Captain was boring for Camden as the seat of Govern ment, court house and jail, for the great county of Camden. The Doctor was boriiag for Ong.. El-Coming, being a large city, composed of a blacksmith shop and two frame houses, and located somewhere between the extreme limits of Camden county and the Atlantic ocean. In a .word, the site of the i coufity court house was a disputed question—the citizens of Cam den wanting it in Camden.—the voterp- of Cam , den county, inet to spite. the Camden people, wanted it in Long-a-Coming. Well, :the Cap-, tain with his hearty honest face, and the Doc-, for with his honest very handsome face, came to Trenton, as lobby members, to press the respective merits of Camden and Long-a• Cor n :. ing-npon-the potion-of the great - Legislaturo-of New Jersey. A week, two weeks, three weeks, a month passed, and yet the Legislature took , no notion, and Camden county was still with; out &seat of goiernment, court house or jail. • The Doctor grew impatient; meeting the Captain one day in one of the passages of the sitigularly•peeuliar .Capitol of New Jersey, lie. -said to his friend— " You .nro hero for Camden, Ifni Long-a- Coming, and here we have been for. a month.- Allow me to ask, in the most delicate manner, why in the devil don't this Legislature take some action in them - tatter, and let us go home Your business issuffering, and suy patients are dying, and yet here we are, dancing attendance on the cursed Legislature.. , Why-don't they, the, assembled wisdom of, New Jersey=-say Camden or - home.?" img-a-comi The Captain drew' his young friend into the recess of a corridor, and looked at him queerly with one eye half shut, and his mouth fixed on a decided "pucker." - "The fact is, R," said he, "you aro green.
