THE BEWITCH ED CLOCK.
About balf past eleven o'clock on &Inlay
bt a human le: ecvelo ied io blue broad-
cloth, might have been seen entering Dea
con's Cephas Ihirberry's kitchen window that
opened on the lot next to the meetinghouse
fence,
in Appleton. The leg was soon fol
lowed by the entire person of a live Yankee,
in his Sunday go-to-meeting clothes. It was
in short, Joe Mayweed, who thus burgle
rionsly won his way into the deacon's kitchen.
'Wonder how much the old man made by
ordering me not to darken his doors again Z'
soliloquized the ardent youth. 'Promised
him 1 wouldn't, but didn t say anthill' about

shunks, I swow ! Oh, here comes Sally!.
The comely maid descended on tip-toe,
with a pleasant smile, and a tallow eandle
and a box of Inciters in her hands. After
receiving a rapturous greeting, she made up
a rousing are in the stove, and the happy
couple sat down to enjoy the sweet inter
change of joys and hopeo. But the course
of title love ran no smoother in old Barber

Jue was just about making up his mind to
treat himself to a kiss, be was startled by
the voice of the deacon, shouting from his

their conversation. Suddenly the staircase
began to creak, 'firood gracious, it's father

Joe.
'Where can I pat you?' sail the bewil.

'Oh, anywhere : here's a good place —IT
squeeze into the old clock case,' said Joe ;
and without another word, he concealed him:
self in the clock, oloiii.og the door.
The deacon entered the kitchen full dress
ed for the day, and sitting himself dawn by
the cook-stove, pulled out his pipe, lighted
it, and smoking leisurely, said . 'Only five
o'clock, eh ? weil, I shall be able to smoke
two or three pipes before it's time to go and
feed the critters.' .
'Hada t you better do up the chores be.

'No • smokint , clears my head and wakes

'Tormented lightning! what in the ores.

'lt's only striking five, father,'- said Sally,
tremuously ; 'may be the striking part is a

But the frightened females refused to re.
lease him ; the resolute old man suddenly
slipped his arm out of his coat, darted for
ward, and seized the door of the eloek-ease,
in vain trying to open it. Joe bad got a
grip on the ancient lock inside, and held it
fast. The deacon began to be frightened,
but ashamed to show his weakness, he gave

earthly yell, as of a fiend in distress, burst
from the inside, and the clock case pitched
forward knocking dowirtho old man, smash

the fair proportions of the old time piece,
generally. The current of air, thus caused
having , extinguished the light, the old lady
and Sally fled up stairs, while the discomfit
ted deacon picked himself' up and followed
as fast as possible. The room being thus
cleared, Joe Mayweed extricated himself
from the clock-case, and beat a hasty retreat
by the window where he had entered.
The nest day all Appleton was alive with
the.story of how Deacon Bayberry's clock
was bewitched, and dozens of people flocked
to the scene of the wreck. Many believed
in the deacon's theory of the matter, but
some— especitlllo_o_e_Xtry_w_e_ed=affected_to_

In due time, however, - when matters had
been satisfactorily arranged, and Joe accep

law, he took charge of the bewitched clock,
and had it repaired so that it went as well
as ever.
Examine the Reeords.
The Rebel papers have been very xealoui
in their efforts to prove that Gen. Grant's
forces during his mareh upon Richmond,
wore greatly in excess of those of. Lee ; but
an examination of the military records at
Washington, make clear the 'falsity of this
charge. When Grant crossed the Rapidan,
in the spring of 1864, his field return shows
that he had 98,000 men fit for duty,and that
Lee's for c e really fit for duty, as ta-c
ken from his field returns, exhibits a list of
72,000 men. Here is a difference in favor
of General, Grant of 26,000 men; but it must
be remembered that he acts onthe offer).
sive, and that Lee was in hie own country,
had the choice of the ground, and in every
battle but one, fought behind breastworks,
advantages wivieh far more than compensated
him for the difference in men. The addi
tional fact that Grant had a supply train six
ty miles in length, which he was compelled
to guard With a force taken from his 98,
000; _which• bis adversary was not required
to do from the fact that every man in his
rear was his friend.
Another charge against Geo. Grant it, tt •
he sacrificed his men unnecessarily itt
contest with Lee. Tim ;,
however, on file in the War Departmtat
show that his losses were 6,586 killed, 26,
087 w 'untied, and 6..626 missing. Lee's
loses are not known, but thOse who saw the
fields after the various battles believe that he
suffered as severely as Gaunt. Taking all
the circumstances connected with this cam
paign it will be found that the advautage
was on the side of LPe, and that had be man
*aged his forces with the• skill and ability
which Grant displayed, he would have been
the victor.
An unspotted Character.
Money is a good thing, especially in these
hird times, but there is something a thous
and fold more valuable. It in character—
the consciousness of a pure and honorable
life. This should be a man's first aim to
preserve at any cost. In times of comtner.
digtress, while some are proved and found
wanting, others come forth tried as by fire.
Here and there one comer out of the furn-
ace far more of a man than before. Amid
the wreck of his fortune he stands erect—a
noble specimen of true manhood. We have
occassionally witnessed an example of cour•
age in such a' minis, of moral intrepidity that
deserved all honor Let it be the aim of ev
ery business man. above all things el-e, to
keep purity sustained. This is the best
possession—this is a capital which can never
be taken from him—ibis is the richest in•
heritanee which he can leave to his chit
dren.

Facts and Thoughts about Edit-
cation.
Education has made some progress in this
country, but not that substantial progress
which it should have made. We have• here
and there seminaries of learning of which wo
tiee - d — tiorbiThhilin — alTbitt all our higher in
stitutions, are by no means yet what they
should be.
A majority of the States has systems of
education. Some have had them for years;
others have lately adopted. theni., In a-few
the chi - et object seems to have been to make
the system as cheap as-possible; in the oth
ers, more wisely, to improve the schools, and
to make them good, in every sense of the
term.
Sectarianism and politics are bindranees
to a proper education of the people. A sound,
liberal education demands a broader platform
than that of any sectarian creed. There was
he h
a time in the history of our country when
the value of denominational schools could
scarcely be over-rated ; but that time is past,
and will no more return. Since the State
has taken the education of all her people in
to hand, all that should be done is, to co-op
erate and assist.
Politics, unless based upon intelligenee and
religion, are shamefully demoralizing; and a
serious obstacle to a broad and liberal edit-
In some States the Superintendence Pub

others, he is appointed by the Governor.—

or lower—there should be a uniformity of
test-books—the coarse of studies in the

more branches should be added to the Com•

more pecuniary aid to the Normal Schools—
no Principal or teacher should be elected for
a Normal School without the consent of the

That these Repots with their multifarious
suggestions, are frequently severely criticised
by the best of our Educational Monthlies,
is no wonder.
Education, it is said, should not be one
sided•. All the faculties and powers should
be uniformly cultivated—no one reeeivigg
The preference—acd every faculty to the
highest degree attainable.—To carry out this
vision it would be necessary to have an ad
ditional lease of lifei the ordinary life of
mao being too short to complete it.
One class of educators maintain , that, com
pared with Latin and Greek, all other studies
arc tither insignificant or utterly nothing.—
The opposite extrude not only question this,
but positively deny it, and assert with equal
positiveness, that, for the highest cultivation
of the intellectual powers, tae ether studies
compare with the Mathematics. Both of
these views show an exclusive narrow wind
ow; the result of one-sided thought.
There are also those who contend, that
students should. not study for knowledge, but
for discipline. Studies that are useful, that
inform the mind, they would -reject

suhstitute others, apparently, in themselves.
considered, useless, except as mere mind
sharpeners. According to this class of the
orists, certain subjects of study, to the exclu
sion of all others, cetupletely discipline the
mind. Taking for example, the dead Lan.
guages and the Mathematics for these disci
plinary studies, then, he who has completely
mastered these, has, completely disciplined
his naiad, or, io other words, understands
every branch of human kelowledge. Is not
this wonderful ? Stare and think, ye Natu
ralists and Philosophers with your undisci
plined minds I
Others say, that the spiritual or religious
is too much ignored io our education ; that
our schools are becoming too materialistic.—
Tbis may have at least two different mean
lugs, according to the modern signification of
those terms. It may mean that our methods
of teaching are becoming too materialistic, or
that the tendency is to reject . , from our cur•
ricula of studies, all but the so-called materi
alistic branches, and, instead of those rejec
ted, to increase the number of the class re
tained. That this charge has no foundation
in fact, is not difficult to show. It is true
that there are those who believe, and sincer
ely too, that the study of the Natural Scien
ces tends to materialism—in the modern
sense of that term—or, what they really mean
irreligion. But such a view eau be founded
on no other assumption than, that God had
ao part in the creation of the Earth, and
that it is the work of some evil power. What,
indeed, could lead to such a conclusion r

the fellow slipped out of the rope. He then
became frantic, and' tore all his clothes off
except hie pants.
By this. time nearly one thousand per

The constables ascended to the garret,
when one of them obtained a spade and soon
made two apertures in the roof. —This:-was
only the work of a few minutes, during which
the fellow • busied himself in hurling the

handsome child of either sex, set up on the

CHEERFULNESS AND MortosENEss.-11
we are cheerful and contented, all nature
smiles with us; the air seems more balmy,.
the sky more clear, the ground has a bright
er green, the trees have a richer foliage, the
flowers a more fragrant smell, the birds sing
more sweetly, and the sun, moon and stunt
all appear more ' beautiful. , We take our
food with relish, and whatever it may be, it
pleases us. We feel better for it—stronger
and livelier, and fit for exertion. Now what
happens to us if we are ill tempered and
discontented ? Why, there is not anything
which can please us. We quartet with our
food, with our dress, with our amu.sements,
with our companions, and with ourselves.
Nothing comes right for us, the wheather is
either too hot or too cold, too dry or too
damp. N'eitber sun nor moon, nor stars
have any beauty; the fields are barren, the
flowers lustreless, and the birds silent. Wo
move about like some evil spirit, neither
loving nor holoyed by anything.,
A short time since, a barber offered a re
