Stokevilie was rinrinr from one end to the ther with the awful tale that Parson Brush was a drunkard ! And net only that, but that he had been a drunkard from the time he lirst came to Stokevilie! And some said they had heard of his inlemperavce e' en before that he had always been intoxicated in the pulpit and that his best discourses were delivered when under the induence of liquor, there ws3 now no doubt. There were more than an hund-ed persons to be found who recollected to have seen him in a, state of unnaturul excitement, "'though,' as they said, they did not suspect any thing at the time.' Every little fit of eickness with which the Parson had been visited during his sojourn at the village was attributed to drink and there was a determination with man, woman and child, to dismiss him forthwith, even without the formally of a ti i:-i. Parson Brush, as may he anticipated, codid not get a hearing in;;i 9 small ma? I

strom of excitement. He was condemned by ail Stokevilie and what could he do

him? He demanded n trial before an ecclesiastic tribunal, that he might exculpate himself but his church refused him the privilege; its members declaring that his usefulness was destroyed, guiity or innocent and that 'clergymen ought to bo above suspicion even.' lie protested against arbitrary proceedings, but his remonstrances were of no avail. He was dismissed and thi.r ende '.z labor of Parson Brusn in Stokevilie after a residence of eight months and fourteen days; and he departed with as many curses on I.:.- 1 1. 1 1 11 : !,.. ered upon him at his arrival.

The irin which John Nordics declared' he saw Mr. Brush pur chase a: Mr. Tape's store was found out to have been used for horse medicine, and all the other sights and conjectures were in like manner accounted for. Not a solitary charge was substantiated and not an individual in Stokevilie could be found who was not convinced that Parson Brush had been dismissed for crimes of which he was never guilty. Hard Time and their Remedy. A friend stepped into our den yesterday to have a good hearty grumble at the times and to predict future difficulties. Now. we know very well all the difficulties of the times, but we know they might be worse, and despondency will make them so. We feel for, indeed we feel with those who suffer, and therefore understand the grievances of our neighbors. We inquired of our friend how he was situated whether he was inextricahlv in volved, and learned with pleasure that. foreseeing, he had forearmed and though he was making little perhaps rather outliving his nett profits yet he was comfortable, because safe. Still he exclaimed. 'What are we all to do?' 'Why, what have you all to do?' There are,' said he, -to be paid not less than six millions of dollars.' Awful! What ! in one day?

What is the matter below?' asked the minute hand, 'I am disheartened,' said the pendulum, at the gloomy prospects. I have been looking into my ..year's engagements, and find, to my astonishment, that I have upwards of thirty millions of beats to make this year, and there is no aid to be obtained. I must do it all myself.' 'That is bad. sure enough,' said the minute hand, 'but what then?' 'Why,' said the pendulum, 'finding that it would bo impossible for me to gel through all this, I determined to c-t:pv Yes,' said the minme hand, despondinsj!y, 'and all the ret of us must stop in consequence of your troubles.' This dialogue was over heard by the hour hand, which was at rest among 'the little ones above,' and co he called down to the pendulum: You are quite too fearful,' said the hour hand. 'It is neither just to us, nor polite with regard to y ourself, to state an aggravated view, as you have done, of your labors In advance. You may have more to do than some cf the rest of us, but you have no more in proportion and you will find that whatever number of beas you have to make in a pear, you have only one to rnake in a second, and that is what -all large pendulums have to perform.

TUB Tl.Uiu E;;D OF EDUCATION, BY CHARLES II. LYONS.

That the proper end of education it to nrndnre the ennal and hor.nnn.o... tion of the fatuities, is a truth generally, and perhaps, enfficientlv recognized in theory, but far too little respected in practice. There are many truisms and cant phrases current amonMis havinsr reference

The mode of cultivation, which produces such results, is essentially a different thing Irom the ordinary routine of study, being far more comprehensive and incomparably more valuable. It ought to be universally adopted as the essential procesi of education, and should not only precede, in order of time, the course of instruction designed to fit youth for a particular branch of business, but should be as near ly as possible consummated before thelat-

words, a lad ought to be educated for life, for it duties and trials, before he is edu cated for the bar or the counting-house. It mailers not what shall lie the particular destination of the individual. It is enough that ho is growing up to sustain the relations and responsibilities of a citi zen, and a member of society. Let him he train d lor his high destiny first, and for any ihir.g else afterwards. Let him have the advantage of that training in which the individual is cultivated, not as an in7 trnm-Mit towards some ulterior end, but as an end into himself alone. Unhappily, however, this principle is too often perverted. The great and leading oKject of education is merged into the mote oi id one. The high and responsible profession of the education is degrrded to the business of teaching boys to be men before natute has made them so of fitting thrni lor a profession or the wareronm before their maturity of mind has fitted them for either. There are doubtless, very many whose circumstances in life render it indispensib'e tcr tnem to exchange at in early ace ths lessons of the school-rocm for the labor of some remunerating occup.lh.-., and where such necessity really exist it must be com'ir;' with.

Serving ,4pprcnticehij for a J fife. The reader may remember dial lhe Dowager Countess of Westmorelond was one of th- titled ersopsere who visited the United Slates lust summer. A curious anecdote is related of her marriage. She was the only daughter of the eminent and immensely wealthy banker Child, who flourished in London about the time of the French Revolution. When he died, he made a will, leaving all hi property to his daughter on condition that if she married she should marrv a mechanic, (he commenced life, himself as a brewer) who had served a regular apprenticeship of seven years at his trado. If she married any other person, the whole estate was to alienate from her and her heirs. The then young Earl of Westmoreland met her by chance at a ball given on some public occasion by the Lord Mayor. He resoUed, if she was willing, to marry her, and on her consenting to wait seven years, he bound himself appientice to a .Mr. Pollock, a highly respectable saddler iu Piccadilly and actually learnt the trade. He served his seven years and exhibited a saddle, which he had made, to the entire satisfaction of the executors under the will, and gave title for fortune; Miss Child became a Dutchess and the mechanic's apprentice one of the wealthiest Esrls of England. Afier all, he served only half as long as poor Jacob, who gave seven years of servitude for Rachel, and seven more for Leah anjl did not get so much cash as his Lordship by a pretty considerable difference.

Is there, it is asked, any signs of such a change? We think there is. First, as some evidence of this, look at the reports of monetary affairs at the east. littler times is the word there now. The worst is past, say the Philadelphia papers the wor.i of resumption responds our Baltiis improving while Boston and New 1 ork talk of the future ns promising to all a happier, brighter day. And why may it not be? Only one thing is lacking; a settled, well defined policy on the part of Government, which shall give scope to American energy, by protecting American industry. Give ua that, and we are safe. And what, it may be enquired of us, is the prospect here? Good. Better, indeed, than it has been for years past. First, the necessities of Government will compel it to adopt this policy. It is a beggard. It has to shift like a poor bankrupt, to get along. And those who control it, to save themselves from public contumely, if not the country from disgrace, will endeavor to make the government independent, byenabling it to meet its engagements punctually, and honor its word wherever and to whomsoever given.

Why then despond? Why feel as if these hard times must continue? Let us cheer up.

Facts far the People. The Carlisle, Pa. Gazette brings the following facts before the public. They are what they purport to be true. Pon der over them. Cincinnati uazffte. It is a fact, that ten years ago we were in prosperous circumstances, and that now we are embarrassed. It is a fret, that during the operation of the tarijf iystem, say from ISC2 to 1832, ww werj constantly increasing in prosper ity and thai since, un ipr theoperation of tho anil-tariff or free -trade system, we have been constc.idv g-mg b;.i. I z a fact, that from 1822 to 1832, besides increasing in wealth at home, we paid off a European debt cf upwards of one hundred millions and that from I8Y2 to 1842, besides decreasing in wealth at home, we have contracted debts in Europe to the amount of upwards of two hundred millions. It is a fact, that ten vears ao the farmer could find a good and ready cash market for his produce, and that now he cannot. It is a fact, that it is better for tiie farmer, that the iron he uses, and the woolen and cotton clothing he wants for hi9 family should be manufactured at home, by persons who consume his grain, and beef and pork, than that they should be imported from Europe, where they are manufactured by those who are not suffered 10 consume one pound of our domestio produce. It is a fact, that if we want to promote the interest of the farmer, we must secure to him n good market at home, as we cannot compel foreign nations to purchase the produce. It is a fact, that if we want manufactories, to give profitable employment to our citizens, and a good market to our farmers, we must protect our manufacturers by dutftfj on European imports, as otherwise they will be unable to compete w ith the labor of countries where men are by hunger, compelled to work for ten cents a dav. It is a fct, that the present freetrade system, between us and England and Franc? consists, in our admitting, either

ns free, or at low- rates of duties, tho produce and maaufac"rps of these countries; wliiio they exclude by high duties, our produce, except such articles of crude produce as are indi-peiisahly r?re?ry to their manufactories, such as cotton, r.fd.cs, Tanner's hark, if. It is a fact, that tho largest portion of the importing trade ot the country, hs passed into the hands of Luropenns.

ihree or four Luropcan houses can maintain a travelling agent cheaper, ina !oarding house in New York, thim three or fcur American Merchants an sustain llioir families, pay house rent, clerk hire, &c.. and hence, the former can undersell tha latter, even when the former do nrt cheat the revenue, which happens sometimes. It is a fact, that, under our Iat commercial arrangement v.-ith He.o!tnd, tho English arc fast supplanting our own vessels, in our own ports. On the 25;h of February, 1842, there were in the port of bnvaimah, Georgia: 11 English ships of 2 American do 12 English Barques 9.7. oO Tons, 710 l.r'js were port, 0 T American do Besides these, there American Brigs, chiefly engaged in tho coastwise trade. These facts might be greedy multiplied, hut I will not trespass further on tho patience of your readers, most of w hom, I trust, will agree with me, that, if we war.t to seethe return cf better day 3, wo must abandon the hwnbv gery of free-trade, and southern abstractions, and come back to the teachings of exnerience and common sense. Sale of Woolens. Thinking men will respond heartily to the followinrr facta stated in the Bostou Atlas. Read them. The great sale of American AVoolen Goods, yesterday, went off with spirit, though the prices ranged very low. This sale illustrates three facts. 1. That the domestic manufacturer can compete with the foreigner, in fair market. 2. That the confidence of buyers in American Goods has increased, so es cow to give them a preference. 3. That nothing is needed but a fur specific duty, which shall be co.I;c:ed. to prevent the foreign agents and 1 va nr.fr. cturers from flooding us with their fabrics. It also shows the advantages of the new arrangement made with the huc'ir.eers. The time occupied is much less, and every buyer is satisfied that he has bought 10 the best advan'ige- The labor and vexation to all parlies is infinitely j;...:ntotioJ.
