TUESDAY, JUNE 14, 1859.

UNDER CONTROL OF S. L. KILBORN.

Association nl Linden, May 27th & 2Stli.

"Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace Behind a frowning Providence

He hides a smiling face.''

Heaven always prospers a good woilr, if the agents, to whom it delegates the power of carrying it on, are but active in using the power bestowed upon them.— "Such are our feelings as we contemplate the first meeting of the Association at Linden, as compared with the second. We doubt not but many of our readers when glancing over the notice of the first meeting, complacently said to themselves that the next would be an entire failure. Such is not the case, but quite to the contrary and we feel that the light is again breaking in upon us, rich, effulgent and joyous.

Our last was one of our best meetings. The lecture on Friday evening was fraught with rich and varied ideas while the discussion upon it, which immediately followed, was full of fun and wisdom. On Saturday several interesting exercises were conducted by the teachers and considerable business attended to. It was decided that a ''Teachers' Institute," of one week, should be held at Bainbridge, Putnam co., commencing on Monday, the 29th of August next. Of this, however, we shall -speak at some length in a subsequent article, devoted exclusively to the subject.

The next Association is to be held at Carpentersville, June 24th & 25th. Lecture Friday evening by Prof. Hadley, of Crawfordsvillo. Saturday's exorcises will be as follows

MORNING SESSION.

1st, Business 2d, Reading, by R. M. Johnson 3d, Geography, by William H. Lemon 4th, English Grammar, by Miss

to well 6th, Arithmetic (decimal fractions) by D. E. Hunter.

A AFTERNOON SESSION.

1st Declamation by J. W. Ilusker 2d, Lecture on Ancient Civilization in Egypt, by A. J. Vawter 3d, Report on the advantage to the fetaale sex of the study of the Classics, by J. Walden 4th, Lecture on Natural Science, by W. H. Lemon.

Officors for the ensuing six months are to be elccted at the next meeting, and other important business to be transacted and ^ehopothfcre will be a good attendance, .of teapbers.. We would say to parents, and others—if your teacher does not take the Journal, show it to him, and urge him to attend these interesting and profitable meetings. Our number is increasing at every meeting, but still there is room.

Humboldt the Benefactor

Agassiz.

At the annual meeting of the American! Academy of Arts and Sciences, held! in Boston, on Tuesday afternoon, Professor Agassiz pronounced a feeling eulogy

the late Baron Humboldt, and in the cenrso1 of his remarks, narrated tho foliowffig' incident:

I can well say that there is not a man1 engaged in scientific investigations m' Europe, who has not received at Ms hands marked tokens of his favor, and who is not under deep obligations to him. May I be permitted to tell a circumstance which' is personal to me in that respect, and which' shows what he was capable of doing while' he was forbiddiag an opportunity of telling it. I was only 24 years of age when in Paris, whither I had gone with means given me by a friend btft tfas at fast about to resign my studies from want of ability to meet my expenses. Professor Mits*-" cherlich was then on a visit to Paris, and I had seen him in the morning, when he had asked mo what was the cause~ of my depressed feelings, and I told him that I had to go, for I had nothing left.

The next morning as I was seafted at breakfast in front of the yard of the hotel where I lived, I saw the servant of Humboldt approach. He handed me a note, saying there was no answer wanted, anddisappeared. I opened the note, and I see it now before me as distinctly as if I held the paper in my hand. It said: "Mv friend, I hear that you intend leav-" ing Paris in consequence of some eiffbar? rassments. That shall not be. I wish' you to remain here as long as the object' for which you came is not tfccoitfpl^htedi' I enclose you a check of £50/ It is a loan which you may repay when yotf'can.'*

Some years afterward when I cdbld' have repaid him I Wrofe, aslft'ngf for fha privilege of remaining forever fn' his diebt, knowing that this request would be m'oto' consonant to his feelings tbain' tfre Recovery of money, and I am now iff his debt.— What be has done for me, I know he has done for many others and in silencey triK known to the world.
