A Temrieranoe Lecture.
"He that hath eyes to read, let him read ; he that
hath ears to hear, let him hear."
Intemperande outs down youth in its vig
or, manhood in its strength, and age in its
weakness. It breaks the father's heart, be.
reaves the doting mother, extinguishes nat
ural affection, erases conjugal love, blots out
filial attachment, blights 'parental hope, and
brings down mourning age in sorrow to the
grave. It produces weakness not strength,
sickness not health, death not life. It makes
wives widows, children orphans, fathers
fiends, all of them paupers and beggars. It
feeds rheumatism, nurses gout, welcomes op
ideinies, invites cholera, imports pestilence,
and embraces consumption. It covers the
land with idleness, poverty, disease, and
crime. It fills your jails, supplies your
almshouses, and demands your asylums. It
engenders controversies, fosters quarrels,
and cherishes riots. It crowds your peni
tentiaries, and furnishes the victims of your
scaffolds: It is the life-blood of the gambler,
the ailment of the counterfeiter, the prop of
the highwayman, and the support of the
midnight; incendiary. It countenances the
liar, respects tire thief and esteems the blv
phonier. It violates obligation, reverenca•
fraud, and honors infamy. It defames be
nevolence, hates love, scorns virtue, slanders
innocence. It incites the father to butcher
his helpless offspring, helps the husband . to
massacre his wife, and aids the child to
grind- the parricidal axe. It barns. up man
and cdnsumes women, detests lire, eursos
God, and despises heaven. It suborns wit
nesses, nurses perjury, defiles. the jury -box,
and stains the jndioal ermine. It bribes
votes, disqualifies voters, corrupts elections,
pollutes our institutions, .and endangers our
Government. It degrades the citizen, de
bases the legislature, dishonors the states
man, disarms the patriot. It brings shame
not honor; terror not safety; despair not hope;
misery not happiness. And with the ma
levolence 'of a fiend, it calmly surveys its
frightful desolations, and, insatiated with
havoc, it poisons felicity, ki:ls peace, ruins
morals, blights confidence. slays reputation,
and wipes out national honor, then curses
the world andlaughs atits ruin.
There, it does all that and more. It mur
ders the soul. It is the sum of all villainies;
the curse.of curses; the devil's . best friend.

Were visited. One spot, which ileemod re
plete With awful interest, Was the viciiiiiitef
a huge boulder and old cliesutit tree,
.near
which a British spy waii,hung by order of
Genera, Putnam. His name was Edmund
Palmer, and his Story is one of those fearful
episodes which go to make'up' the measure
of war but which are seldom related by the
hietairien, Of a noble commanding figure;
possessed of natural qualities of head and
'heart which endeared him to all who knew
him; connected by blood,and affiliation with
some of the • most respectable families in
Westchester bounty : and surrounded by an
affectionate wife.and children, he had every
thing to make him happy and-contented.—
The revolutionary' contest, however, came,
and ere three years had, passed away he had
yielded his life a sacrifice to his loyalty to a
king who eared nothing for suffering humani
ty or the rights of his subjects, so long as
to could wring from their earnings the
, hereasithal to swell his income and min
ter to his pleasures. In an unfortunate
sur Palmer united hiinself to, and was made
sutenant of a company' of Tories, which,
ibsequently formed a part of that maran-
Log band which the infamous Governor
'yron led forth to burn and destroy the
suns and firesides of the so called rebel:.
s the Summer of 1777 he was sent by his
nrimanders to -recruit for the ranks of his
nnpany among the' yeomanry of his native
lace with orders to observe carefully the
ssitian of the Americans, their numbers etc.
s accordance with his instructions, he re
ared in disguise to the vicinity of Peek
:ill. and prepared to execute his dangerous
rust. Suspicions were aroused in regard to
nix objects, and a sergeant's guard was sent
to arrest him. lie was brought to head
quarters in the course , of a day or two—was
tried by court martial, and enlisting papers
being found on his person, he was convicted
of being a spy, and sentenced to be hung.
"Oh, do not tell me so,"exclaimed the sup
plicant. D 3 not condemn me to a life long
misery, my children to poverty and wretch.

band, and I will go on my knees to serve you
I will bless you and pray for you while I live
He is innocent of blood, and has been guilty
only of indiscretion—Why should your
hard, stern laws' condemn him to death, in:
to widowhood, and his children to orphan ge,
-for doing th at upon which you pride your
selves. Ho did but obey his orders, and
for this he must suffer a felon's death."
An hour after the sentence had been
passed upon the unfortunate roan, Putnam
was sitting, in his guar ts_busily_engvasi
in looking over some maps when an orderly
entered the room and informed him that an
old man and a young woman desired an in
terview. He had h ardly stated the fact to
his superior before the door.opened, to ad
mit the wife and father of Palmer who, hav
ing heard of the sentence of the court, had
come to intercede for hiss life with the Gen
eral. )11.s. Palmer did , not wait for Putnam
to '. and r . -.e her nor did she require
a forma • •thlite ion ;it was enough for her
that the man be "re her possessed the power
of life or death over the beloved object of
her heart's affections, and she milted forward, I
seized his hands in hers, and fell at his 'feet
in humble supplication. No situation iu life
could be more unpleasant and unfortunate to
Putnam than the one he now found himself
placed in. '.The rough soldier could face the 1 1
cannons mouth, or march forward in the
din of battle with theballs shawering about
him like hail, and not experience the least
apparent emotion, but to Withstand the tears

frequently find in the hearts of those whose
proclivities and antecedents give little evi

wrote the following laconic newer to Sir

" Sir: Edmund Palmer, an officer in the

- The gibbet on which Palmer suffered was
a rude structure of logs, and stood'for many
years an object of superstitious dread to
those of the country people who were com
pelled to pass it after nightfall.
A Genuine "Lady."
The following iuciilent was obseßved on
the cars by a gentleman while on his way
'East to Pittsburg, Pa. Our lady readers
•
of need to have the moral appended.
On one seat was a hale soldier, wan and weak
returning, as it proved, from service in Ar
kansas, to be nursed by his mother, near
Pittsburg, whose only son he was. At irelki
ville most of the. passengers got out for re
freshments. Some passengers carded food
along and ate it in , the cars; but none offered
anything to the soldier, who, either too weak
to walk, or not having money to spare, sat
still, silent and alone. As the train was a
bout starting, two middle-aged ladies came
in, and opening a basket began to eat a boun
tiful lunch. From their conversation they
appeared to be from New England. They
were richly dressed, and judging them to be
aristocratic, the writer was not favorably im
pressed with them. After a little while one
of them, casting her eye forward, saw the
soldier. Shestopped eating, and whisper
ing a moment to her companio'a who nodded
ssen trot-he-went-ferward-and - conversed-ple -
Andy with the soldier, and returned too her
basket, from which she supplied 'aim liberally
with the best it contained. After eating all
he desired, she wrapped in a paper and gave
him enough to last him home. After eat
ing the remnants in the basket herself, she
sat down by his side and talked pleasantly
with him most of the way •to Pittsburg. The
° writer conceive(' there were few dry eyes
among those who saw what passed. Was
not that woman one of the true aristocracy
Whether the needed food, or the kind man
ner and conversation of the lady was most
refreshing to the long time homeless patriot,
or whether both were . not equally so, wo
leave the reader to decide.
The Last Man.
Some years ago there appeared in Black
wood a sketch of peculiar interest, entitled
The Lust Dinner, which obtained general
currency through the American press, nod
attracted by its freshness and power consider
able attention A party of' friends—so the
story ran—organized at the outset of their
career in life, a 'convivial club' tho existence
of which they mutually pledged themselves
to each othet to perpetuate so long as one
of their' num er should survive to celebrate
its appointed annivermaty.
Bub occurrence of this festive occasion
finds their friendly circle lessened by one of
its members, until at length, after the lapse
of' many years but one of the original broth
erhood survive to observe its obligations.
The usual day of mannm meeting again
arrives, and this sole survivor—the last man
—repairs to the clubroom, now tenanted tont
by the memorials of his departed members ;
assuming the chair of the presiding officer,
ho places himself at the head of the
board, arranged, in keeping with the affec

for a few thoughts on educational matters in

direction of the great drama now playing in
our country—the rtruggle for the life of the
Republic. But in our anxiety for the fate
of our beloved land, and in our efforts to
save our free Government and its benign in
stitutions from the grasp of a traitor horde,
and to preserve thern for e_generntiorts
we must not forget that which elevates a na
tion and makes it free, enlightened and hap
py—EDUCATION j education not only, of the
Intellectual facul ties, but also of the Moral
Sensibilities; the education of the bead' and
of the heart;,the one from the treasuries of
Science, the other from the treasury of
E
thics—the Bible.
.A nation's happiness and welfare, depends
upon the virtue, and the intellectual devel
opment of the minds of its citizens, not only
the few but of the masses. The common
schools of our land are the nurseries in
which the principles of virtue should be in
stilled in the ni,inds of our youth, and in
which the faculties should , be developed.—
This is the
glorious
of the Common &hoot
Teacher; ty glorious privilege, indeed I
"Delightful task! to rear the lender thought."
We may well 'be Trend of our own State,
and of her noble system of Common Schools.
In providing for the pupils, the Teacher is
also remembered. :Institutes for the int.
provement of Teachers exist'in almost every
county in the State. District Institutes are
provided for by a lute act of the legislature.
The Teacher's month, which was 'formerly
twenty-twO days, has been reduced to twilit
ty, and the two days given him for his' own
improvement in the District Institute, sub
ject to a fine of one dollar for each day's
non-attenclunee. The Teacher's of our
township in .accordance with the spirit of the
law, have organized • an Institute for their
own ititprevetrient,, and—according to the
Constitution;—fer the diffusion of knowledge
in the •district. -'The exercises consist of re
ports on different branches •of causation ;
discussion of matte) s relating to the improve
ments of the schools, and essays and addres
ses on educational topics and schoollnatters
generally. It is earnestly desired • that the
friends of education in the district will give
the Teachers their hearty 00-operation. ' Pa
rents shouldleel the deepest interestin the
welfare of the schools; mid should lend all.
tho'aid to the Teanher posiible, knowing
that. he has ha charge, thernearest interest of
'their children. The teachers will be' truly
glad to aje'the parents oltheir pupils, and
Menda of the Common Schools ' attend'
the meetings of the Institute, aid enconrage
them by Their presence. -• • • .Ix. •
