OUR MOTHER. BY CAROLINE MILLER. And is our gentle mother gone, Our only hope and pride! • Fond mother: whom we loved bo well. Art taken from our side? With tearful eye and anxious prayer. To God we cried in vain. Her life in mercy He would spare. And grant her health again. Thy will, oh, Lord! not ours, must be: She’s gone —and all is o’er! That dear, dear form we ne’er shall see Till we shall part no more. Ah! well do I remember yet, The day that mother died— Our bleeding hearts with anguish wrong— When summoned to her side. But hard, oh! hard, it was to part, From one we loved so well; No more a mother’ voice to hear— How sweet those accents fell. Twas bard to press that icy hand— To kiss those cheeks of snow— To lay a cherished mother’s form Within the grave so low. Farewell, our mother, oh! farewell, Till we shall meet above, Where parting scenes shall be no more— In yon bright home of love. Sleep on, sleep on, then, mother dear, And take thy peaceful rest; Soon we again thy voice shall hear. With Christ, amid the blest. A Schoolmaster’s Story. A LESSON TOR TEACHERS AND PUPILS. i — ‘When I taught a district school,’ said he, ‘I adopted as a principle to give as few rules to my scholars as possible. I had, however, one standing rule, which was, ‘strive under all circumstances, to do right,’ and the text of right under all; circumstances, was the golden rule.— ‘All ihings whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto 1 them.’ ‘lf an offence was committed it was my invariable practice to ask, ’Was it right?’ ‘Was it as you would be done by?’ ‘All my experience and observation have convinced me that no act of a pupil ought to be regarded as an offence, unless it be when measured by the standard of the golden rule. During the last year of my teaching the only tests I ever applied to an act of which it was necessary to judge, were those of the above questions. By this course I gained many important advantages. ‘ln the first place, the plea, ‘You have not made any rule against it,’ which for a long time was a terrible burden to me lost all its power. Tn the second place, by keeping constantly before the scholar, as a standard of action, the single text of right and wrong as one which they were to apply to themselves, I was enabled to cultivate in them a deep feeling of personal responsibility. Tn the third place, I got a stronger hold on their feelings and acquired a new power of cultivating and directing them. Tn the fourth place, I had the satisfaction of seeing them become more truthful honest, trustworthy, and manly in their intercourse with me, with their friends, and with each other ‘Once, however, I was sadly puzzled by an application to the principle by one of my scholars, George Jones, a large boy who partly through a false feeling of honor, and partly through a feeling of stubborness, refused to give me some information. The circumstances were these: ‘A scholar had played me some track which interrupted the exercise. As was my custom, I called on the one who had done the mischief to come forward. As no one started, I repeated the request, but with no success. Finding that the culprit would not confess his guilt I asked George if he knew who had committed the offence. T did not do it,’ was the reply. ‘But do you know who did?' ‘Yes sir.’ ‘Who was it/’ ‘I do not wish to tell.' ‘But you must tell. It is my duty to ask, and yours to answer tne.’ •I cannot do it.’ said George, firmly. ‘Then you must stop with me after school.’ •He stopped as requested, but nothing which 1 could urge would induce him to reveal anything. At last, out of patience with what I believed to be the obstinacy of the boy, I said: •Well George, I have borne with you as long as 1 can, and you must either tell me or be punished.’ •With a triumphant look as though conscious that he had cornered me by an application of my favorite rule, he replied, ■Ldo not tell you because it would not be right. The boy would not like to have

! me tell ol him and I’ll do as I’d be done ’ by. •A few years earlier I shold have deemled a reply thus given as an insult, and should have resented it accordingly, but ; experience and reflection had taught me • the folly of this, and that one of the most ' important applications of my oft quoted I rule was —to judge of the nature of oth|crs as I would have them judge of mine. Yet for the moment, I was staggered. — His plea was plausible; he might be honest in making it. I did not see in what respect it was fallacious. 1 felt that it would not do to retreat from my position, and suffer the offender to escape; and yet that I should do a great injustice by comj pelling a boy to do a thing, if he really I believed it to be wrong. ‘After a little pause, I said, ‘Well, George, I do not wish you to do anything that is wrong, or which conflicts with: vour golden rule. We will leave this for to-night and perhaps you will alter your mind before to-morrow. ‘I saw him privately before school and found him more firm in his refusal than ever. After the devotional exercises of the morning, I began to question the i scholars —as was my wont —on the vanI ous points of duty; and gtadually led the ' conversation to golden rule. •Who,’ tasked, .‘are the persons to whom, as the members of this school vou ; ought to do as you would be done by?— Your parents, who support and send you here? vour schoolmates, whoare engaged in the same work with yourselves? the citizens of the town, who, by taxing themselves raise money to pay the expenses of this school? the school committee i who take so great an interest in your welfare? your teacher? or the scholar who! ! carelessly or willfully committed some offence against good order?’ ‘A hearty ‘yes’ was responded to every j i question except the last, at which they ; were silent. ‘Then, addressing George, I said: Yesi terday I asked you who had committed a certain offence, You refused to tell me ! because you would not be doing as you would be done by. I now wish you to reconsider the subject. On one side are J [ your parents, your schoolmates, the cit- : izensofthis town the school-committee, ! and your teacher, all deeply iuterrestod in everything affecting the prosperity of this school. On the other side is the boy' j who, by this act, has shown himself ready to injure all these. To which party will j you do as you would be done by?’ ‘After a moments pause, he said, ‘To 1 : the first; it was William Brown who did it.; ‘My triumph, or rather, the triumph of 1 principle, was complete; and the lesson was as deeply felt by other members of the school as by him for whom it was especially designed.’ Things Lost Forever —The following words from the pen of Lydia H. Si- \ gourney are full of instructive meaning: j Lost wealth may be restored bv industry; the wreck of health regained by temperance; forgotten knowladge restored by study; alienated friendship smoothed into forgetfulness; even forfeited reputation won by patience and virtue; but who ever looked upon his vanished hours recalled his slighted years, stamped time j with wisdom, or effaced from Heaven’s record the fearful blot of wasted time.— The footprint on the sand is washed out by the ocean wave; and easier might we, when years are fled, find that footprint than recall lost hours Looking high for his Wife.—Smith, who was a few days since presented with a nine-pound token of love by his fair spouse, a night or two ago was seen by his neighbor Jones looking intently up at the sky, when the following conversation took plaee: ‘Well, Mr. Smith, what are you lookI ing so earnestly at the sky for, counting ' the stars, eh?' •No I ain’t countin’ stars, justmw; I’m looking up there to see my wife,’ replied Smith. ‘To see your wife’’ cxclaimad the astonished Jones. ‘Why do you think you can see your wife by looking up at the sky. ‘Because,’ said Smith, 'she's in the milky tony.’ A quakers admonition to a man who was pouring fourth a volly of ill language to him:'Have a care friend, thou mayest run my fist against thy face. i, m . Every day brings its labor, and happy is he who loves his duty too well to neglect it. With economy, few need be poor.

I THE GLOBE: the official papee of congress. I PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus of The Daily Globe, and The Congressional Globe and Appendix, to remind subscribers, and inform those who may desire to subscribe. ' that Congress will meet, on the first Monday of next December, when 1 shall recommence pub lishing the above named papers. They have i been published so long that most public men know their character, and therefore I deem it needless a minute account of the kind of matter I they will contain. The Daily Globe will contain a report ofihe debatesill both branches of Congress as taken ! down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps I of short hand writers in this or any other country. A majority of them will, each, be able to i to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an hour | j while the average number of words spoken by ; fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand ; five hundred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than forty ■ I columns they shall appear i n the Daily Globe of ; i the next morning, which will contain, also, the j news of the dav. together with such editorial | articles as may be suggested by passing events, j I 'lt is alsomv intention, from time, as occasion j I mav require, to publish my reminiscences of the i | public men with whom I Lave beeu associated , dnrino the last t wenty eight years. Anecdotes , of General Jackson. and the leaders of the party which he conducted, and the leading men of ■ other parties,will, I believe, be interestingnow | wlmn partisan bitternesshas abated. ! In becoming the reporter of the debates of, Congress 1 deemed it proper to eay that the I Globe would never be a partisan paper. This | I pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a I contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men ofmytime. Although I am, and intend to remain,athonrough democrat, I-will never obtrude mv principles in away to make then? obI noxious"to any party. But in regard to persons and events which go to make up history. I hope to make the Globe an honest memoir: and with that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will contain a report of all the debates in Congress, ,-evised by the speakers, the messages of the President of the United States, the annual reports of the heads of the executive departments, the laws passed during the session, and copious indexes Io all. They will be printed onadouI bls roval sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, I each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, 3,3 l fl an 1 pnges.as the longsessions for many ve irs have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one ” This 1 believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copv, taking for data the average ' umber of words of the long session since the vear 1848. The average number of pages is 3.876, and the average number of words on a page is 2,397,consequently, the average number of words of a long session is 9,29 >l. As 1 have sold to subscribers that numberof words for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cents forevery 10»,<>0t' word I have furnished them, while I have paid my reporters 629 for everv 2,397 words, of this work, in manuscript ? Has any other bookseller, anywhere, ever sold a book in the first instance, while it was new, at so low a rate? I believe not; and so strong is my belief that I hereby agree to give to anv person who shall prove the contrary a complete set of the debates running back to 1833. making forty three quarto volumes, which sell for $5 a volume. An act of Congress authorizes these papers to goby mail free of postage. The next session will be, without doubt., an unusual interesting one; as it will be the first, under a new administration, and several complex questions must he discussed in it for example, the currency. Kansas, revenue, and other questions.
