_ .
Not many years have rolled away since West
ern Pennsylvania was one vast wilderness. There
solitude and silence reigned, disturbed only by the
whoop and stealthy tread of savage men, or sweetly
mingled with the music which Nature's Gcd pours
through his works—the Melody of birds and troughs
and brooks. It seemed a "temple not made with
hands," where the Great Spirit might love to
dwell; a temple, whose pillars were tho lofty, living
trees,—patriarchs of the forest, whose lustrous
dome was Heaven; whose choir, the spirits of the
wind. All was ready but no true worshiper wan
there. At length he came, the man of christian
faith, and took possession.—The floods of civiliza
tion rolled that way. Expressive silence reigned
no more, but from her throne retreated westward.
whilst the red man, the savage beast, and all the
forest dwellers following in her train, took up their
sad and lonely tramp onward, onward 10 the farth
est west. Now the round of the axe, the crash of
Cuffing timber and the songs of workmen, re-echoed
among the hills and were wafted down the neigh
bouring streams. The habitations of men were
reared, and there in those wilds, in a little log cab
in was barn and cradled an Institution of !earning,
which shed, at first, a weak but gewal influence ,
around; an institution founded in the most solemn
manner and nourished amid ardent end confined
prayer. One which for many years ,food alone,
the only light-house of Science and Religion in the
-western world, to dispel the gloom of ignorance
and superstiticn. That institution was Jefferson
College, next to the oldest in Pennsylvania and
prior to any in the western States. Since then it
has encountered many difficulties; hitt like the in
fant Hercules it grappled with its enemies and e'en
quered, and now stands amongthe most flourish
ing Colleges in the Union. Founded upon Trnth,
and reared amid prayer, it has grown and strength
ened. The Great Protector has been a "wall of
fire around about it and the Glory in the midst of
it," and on account of His providential dealings
With the institution, the largo hall for worship in
the College building was chiistened "Providence
Hall." It has been eminently a Christian College,
a pure fountain sending forth streams to make glad
not only our own land hat the whole world, and
Might appropriately be styled the Missionary Col
lege; for it has sent fords more
any other College in she Milted Plater. For ex
ample look over the wholo world; and in almost
every field of missionary labor you find graduates
of "Old Jefferson," from China to Texas. To
Chiiia she has sent within a short tine five or six
Missionaries, end in Texas the whole number of
Presbyterian ministers claim Jefferson College as
their “alma muter." Time and space forbid more
, examples.
Jefferson College is pleasantly located in the lit
tle town of Canonsburg, Washington County.
There is nothing very attractive in the appearance
either of the town or College buildings, but the sit
uation is in the midst of a delightful, undulating
country, and very healthy. The community
around is celebrated for morality, and the society is
excellent. The present condition of the College is
remarkably good and the prospects flattering. The
Literary Societies on the very best footing—the
various Libraries, amounting to ten or twelve
thousand volumes—the number of students in the
last year , upwards c f 2 0 —the Professors' chairs
filled by learned and talented Professors, ono of
whom hdo . been a missionary to China—and the
Presidency, occqpied by the celebrated Rev. H. J.
Breckenridge, b. D.. lately of Baltimore. The
list ' , Annual Commencement" was of no ordinary
interest, multitudes flocked in from every quarter
until the town was literally crammed. The exer.
does were commenced the evening of Wednesday,
:14th Sept. The Socictieri engaged in their affect
ing farewell ceremonies, then adjourned to hear the
lengthy and learned address to the Alumnii by an
old graduate, no less a pers , nage than Rev. Dr.
Baird, famous fat his varied labors in all Europe
and for his instructive Lecturea in the United
States. The next morning, Thursday, addresses
were delivered by members of the large graduating
class. Ntinieroushonortii degrees were conferred,
the following of which f remember, viz: L. L. D.
upon Henry Clay, L. L. D. upon Rev. Matthew
Brovrn, and D. D. upon Rev. David WKinney, of
this county. Then followed an affecting Farewell
fi.ddress from Matthew Brown, who for twenty
three years has faithfully presided over the institu
tion, and the humming exercises of the day were
concluded with the Inauguration of the Rev. Ro
bert J. Brackenridge, D. D., who delivered a most
splendid address, and took the oath of office amid
breathless end soleinn attention. It was a period,
an event which called forth the liveliest affections
and exctted the deepest feelings of the soul—a
time for the solemn mingling of melancholly and
joyful emotions. See the old man who has en
joyed the sun of seventy summer., whose locks
have been whitened by seventy winters, he is about
to part forever with that which is dearest to his
soul; he stands a Patriarch amid his weeping chil
dren. The old man weeps, and sobs Farewell!—
The reins of government fall from his hands. Tho
man offorty year. strength and experience steps
forward and seizes them with a firm grasp, places
himself with determination at the helm, gives con
fidence to those around him, and all who witness

Frighten them into it.
A few days alnce, (says the Augusta Farmer,) a
douhle•fisted, athletic, young farmer of this town,
who, by industry and studiousness during his leis
ure hours, has treasured up a fair amount of knowl
edge, took it into hie head that he could make some
thing at " teaching the young idea how to shoot."
Accordingly he presented himself before the school
committee, passed an examination, received the ne
cessary credentials for te a ching, and then made ap
' plication to the agent of a school dis:riet, in a town
just below tis, to teach the winter school. The
agent told him that it was a very difficult one to
manage—that there were many roguish, fractious,
pugnacious boVe in the district, some of whom
were men grown—Uit they frequently a turned
the maser out," broke up the school, &c.
All this did not in the least intimidate ear hero, who
was bent upon teaching. He said te the agent that,
with his.consent, he would commence the school,
and if he did not " keep it out" and give general
satisfaction, he would not chaige a picayune for his
services. W ith this proviso, the agent concluded
to let him go ahead. He commenced his labors.—
The three rout days he permitted die scholars to do
abcnit as they pleased, for the purpose of singling
out the unruly ones. At the close of the third day
he requested all the pupils to remain a few moments,
or he had a code of Toles and regulations which he
wished to lay before thorn. This doneolniwimr
himself up to his full helAt, he, in a calm but do
termiecd foamier, addresb,d them is follows :
"Now, all I have to say in conclusion is, that if
any of you aro determined to violate tbese rules
and regulations, you had better, for convenience
sake, immediately speak for !poi. coffins !
Our farmer school-teacher bad no farther diffi
culty—his rules were not violated—he kept the
school out, giving unbounded satisfaction. Every
time a scholar's mischievous propensity,
.would rise,
the faithful little monitor within would whisper
"coffin," and this word carried with it the desired
cotrectivo terror.
The Benefits of Wealth',
Wealth, judiciously employed for manufacture
and internal improvement, is a blessing to any
country, and more especially Cc. one like ours, frea
and equal as it is in the distribution of its favors.—
Its benefits ofi may share. It is not to the rich
done that its blessings come ; but the Masi of mod•
crate means, and the beggar even may shire its
blessings. The source of prosperity is in the
adaptation of wealth to the legitimate means of
production. Applied to mechanism, to mem:fac
ture, or to agriculture, and glorious are its effbcts, if
it is but rightly applied. The employer is enriched
by such application, and the laborer is rewarded.—
And where all rosy aspire to the position of the
man of wealth and business, with a prospect of at
taining it, it shout encourage nll to try to rise high
in the sphere of Usefulness. Poverty is a thing
that too often frightens men--ft weigra upon their
spirits and preys upon their hearts and holds them
powerless in its grCsP. But enterprising Men sur
mount three imaginary difficulties, and rise i;bove
small obstacles. The great advantageri of wealth—
the blessing of its adaptation to the general com
flirt of the people, and the healthy growth of our
institutioMi—shOuld enliven all to scrjuire by hon.:
orable means a portion of that capital which well
directed industry will always produce.. Lei not
the young man be dis c ouraged, if he dces eland at
the foot of the hill of wealth. Be can profit by
the experience of oth.,rs. The different institutions
of our land afford a wide field for the display of
industry and genius.

" Pi - resell.," says the Chronicle of that city,
" has tisen from her ashes and where so lately all
was desolation, now activity and bustle and the hum
of business are seth mid heard. The editor of the
Chronicle says that he counted a few days agoltwo
hundred and eight warehouses, dwellings and men;
ufacturing establishments re-built and reoccupied
since the great conflagration. In addition to this
number there are about five hundred buildings in
different stages of progress, from the laying of the
foundations to the putting on of the last finishing
touches of the painter's brush. Among the buil
dings nearly completed are two hotels of the larges t
class, and a largo number of splendid warehouses
on vvoa. Market and Water streets. " N e wish,"
remarks the Chronicle, " that the kindhearted
friends in all parts of die country, who so gener
ously came to our assistance, could pass through
the burnt district and see the great work which they
have aid. dus to accomplish. Our city re-built is
the most suitable monument that our gratitude esti
erect to their generosity."
