Napoleon had brought to Erfurt the principal actors of the French Theatre— Talma, Miss Duchesnoi Miss Mars, the beautiful Georges* and tbe charming Bout going, playing several times a week before the mtgttst awembly of Emperors & Kings congregated at this pface. A small thea* tre, discovered in the old Jesuit College, liad been arranged for the p'irpose, with a promptitude and elegance truly French.— Bo* tickets for each representation were dflftri bated among the foreign and native ladies. But it was difficult to obtain them. My friends and myself, to procure them, were obliged to carry on a long correspondence with our acquaintances, belonging to the edit of the Grand Duke of Weimar. Through them^ifler great exertion on their p#rt, we obtained tickets for the tragedy of Oedipus, in which Talma and Mademoiselle Raucourt weie to perfq|m.

Oui party went in carriages from Weimar to Erfurt. We left our tickets at the inn, where we stopped, ,and set out for a promenade. The overwhelming mass of people in the street soon obliged us to return. On counting our tickets over, after our return, we were stupified on finding two h-id disappeared we moved every thing in the rooms,but the ticket? had gone. A tavern boy had probably profited by them, for the theatre tickets liad given rise to considerable traffic strangers arriving in the city, without acquaintances,gave frequently for them a louis d'or a piece.

Ah! if tve only had some officers with us, said, with a sigh, the youngest of the company, for a soldier with a decoration was equal to a tickets Among our acquaintances at Erfurt, we quickly found some officei8, and it was under their protection that we approached the theatre, through the crowd which beset its avenues. At the top of the stairs we were received by a soldier of the guard with a frightful physiognomy, who distributed our company in scverri! boxes which, as yet, were nearly empty. 2

IW'is foi funate enough to be placed with two of my friends, in the front of a box near the stage, from whence we could see distinctly all (hat passed in the pit. We congratulated ourselves

(on

our good for

tune but our joy was not of long duration. The boxes near us were crowded ^gradually to excess. The doors of our own suddenly opened—what, cried angrily the soldier the gen d'arme, I know not which under whose guidance we bad taken our seats—what, three women upon three chairs! There is room enough for six with this he seated two ladies between usj who, fortunately, proved to be of our acquaintance.

All the boxes, as well as ourow.i, became fuller and fuller—we were dreadfully squeezed—we were scarcely able to move, and the heat was oppressive-*-but the importance- of the grand spectacle, which was forming before us, occupied our nttention so completely that we forgot the inconveniences of our position.

Immediately in front of the stage were .placed two arm charms for the two Emperors, Napoleon and Alexander, on both sides of which were ranged common chairs for the Kings and reigning Princes. The space behind the»e,seats began ro fill up. \Ve saw enter the statesmen and generals of nearly all ihe Europeans powers, men whose names were then celebrated, pnd have become in a measure historical. Uniforms glittering with gold, and an air vivacity and assurance, enable^ us to distiri* g&ish the Frenchmen from the Germans, who were more modest.* There was Berthisr, SouIt,Caulaincotirt, Sauary^Lannes,

Euroc, and many others, equally celebrat* ed—the greatness of the master seemed to be reflected in the features of each.— There wasGoothe with his calm aud dignified physiognomy, and the venemble Wleland. The Grand Duke oT Weimar had brought them in hif suite, to Erfurt. The Duke of Gotha, and many German Princes, reigning themselves, or allied to reigning houses, collected in a group around these two veteransaf German literature.

box. At this moment Talleyrand made his pearancc in a small box on a level with tlie pit erected near the stage on account of tho infirmity of bis foist, which rendered him unable to stand even in the pit. The Emperor and King* Came and stood before

Finally, again and more strongh ffee rolkog of the wat heard. All ey& turned with resiles* curiosity towards tbe pl*ce of entrance. At last oppcared, the Empcvior cf the French, that man the oMtft incomprehensible of *9tr* thing tHat ohswst inconceivable epoch pfodweed.-— Dresaed as oaaaL, in tfee most simple im» h$r, ta saluted slightly enough as he p%is-

The rolling beat of drums was hoard without. It is the Emperor! was the cry of the whole company. Blockheads, what are you about! cried out angrily to the drummers, their commanding officer it is only a King.|pA German tig entered tbe ball thrJi* more made their appearance shortly after. Thus entered without any noise or eclat, tbe Kings of Saxony, Bavaria and Wiriemberg. The King of Westphalia,* who arrived later, eclipsed them oil by the richness of his embroidery and jewels. The Emperor Alexander, majestic in his appearance, entered afterward* The great box opposil^lhestage duelled the eyes from the eciat which It spread over the hall. The queeft of Westphalia, covered over with diamonds, sat in the centre —Aear her was the charming Stephania, Grand Dutchess of Baden, more conspicuous even by her gruce, tha& herspelendid attire^ Some German ees were seated near these two reirningjf princesses The gentlemen and ladle? was, Tiftl their court occupicd the back part ot tkch^Mi cotfccfff fcr the

his, in order to amuse themselves with thef An attempt was made a short time since bv

so arm Russia. His short, Itoat, person, contrast ed strongly with the noble bearing of Alexander. The four Kings took their places upon their chairs, and the play begun. In vain was it that Talma displayed all his art, Jocaste Raucourt all her beauty and talent, we had eyes and attention only for the pit before us. However, the gens d1armes at the door of our box, did all that they could to complete our defective education, and to instruct us between the acts as to the etiquette to be observed in the presence of the master of the world.

Away with that opera glass—the Emperor does not like them cried one of them bending over tbe ladies- in the box behind us.

Sit up straight, & dont elongate the neck so tbe Emperor does not like long necks, cried another.

There was much impatience felt at this, but we followed the examples of thfc Kings and Princes before us, and bore patiently from the French what we were unable to change.

Immediately after the opening of th& tragedy, which he had perhaps seen a hundred times, Napoleon having placed himself at ease in his arm chair, was sound asleep. He could, it is well known, at any hour of the day or night, sleep when he wished. Eye witnesses assert, that in the midst of a decisive battle even, he would designedly take an hour or two of sleep, in order to recruit his energies, aud that he would always wake the hour he had designated.

The day of this representation at Erfurt, he bad been engaged for many hours together in exercising his troops in the conntry.

It was a singular spec tabic to U3, to see thus, in a sweet sleep, tbe terrible man, whose vast plans had eausedflhc happiness or|sorrow of half the earth. We could but contemplate with fear, his beautiful antique profile, to which the-sombre uniform of Alexander served only as a foil.

Twenty-six yearshave elapsed since that period, scarcely the third of the life of man. Yet how many changes have been produced in that space of time! Where arc the Kings, the mighty and the great, who were assembled in that hall I Wheie he who assembled them? He reposes forever on the reek, around which roar the waves of the ocean. The 6hort and splendid life of Alexander is ri^st. The King of Saxony, Bavaria, and Wirtemberg lie in their tombs of marble. The cidcvant King Jerome has survived them all. But his renown has vanished, with his fantastic royalty, like a dream of the morning.

From Georgia to Maine, co^nplants arfe universal, that appropriations for schools do not produce the results desired, or which might be expected. A warm friend and patron of schools in New Oileans,Temai ked (flat, In his opinion, the annual appiopri^tion by the legislature, of ten thousand dollars for the school in that cily^ad better be discontinued, as. he feared it was of greater injury than benefit, in Alabama and Mississippi liberal appropriations arc made for schools, but with megre reaalts. In the Carolinas, especially South Carolina, an annual appropriation is made by the legislature for the promotion of education, which probably produces ?ome go^ but many complain, that tlie benefits are Small and the evil considerable. In Virginia is a school fund of more than .a million of dollars, the invest of which is distributed annually among the counties, for the benefit of the poor, with some good effects and much dissatisfaction, that good results are not greater and more evident, and that some evils could not be avoided. In Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania, appropriations are made by their respective legislatures, with some good and evil results. In Tennessee and Kcntut ky much money has been expended and much lost, or worse tharv lost, for the promotion of schools. In nearly all the western States, in every township of six miles square, or (MO acres, are appropriated to schools, but in most instances with comparatively little benefit. In Connecticut is a school fond ot almost two millions of dollars, ^hich many of the most intelligent citizens of the State Have repeatedly said was a great detriment to the cause which it was designed to promote.

In New York, where $100*000, arising from a fund, re probably more judiciously distributed than any other school funds in this country, the superintendent of common schools in the State, remarked, in a communication to an education Convention, that it was useless to raise money or make loans for schools, unless the community,on their part, could co-operate in the measures affd recommended education meet ings in all the villages in the State, with a gents appointed for the purpose,who should address, and invite to co-operate in measures which might be presented on the occasions. In Massachusetts, where public schools are supported entirely by taxes laid annually by the citizens of each town upon themselves, the chairman Of the committee on education remarked,at a meeting of the State lyceum, that voluntary efforts for the promotion of education, had done more for schools ir two years, than they,the legislature, had done in half a century. In Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, large appropriations are made annually for schools, which are followed by general complaints that their results arc very far from what might be desired,or expected.

In many, very many instances, parents refuse to send their children to public schools, from the conviction that the inju ry they will receive at them will be greater than the benefit. They, of cfcurse,support private schools, and, by that means, withdraw their support and influence frm schools which they ought to elevate, not depress, in character and usefulness.

Nor arc the misapplication and abuse of school moneys confined to this country.— Lord Brougham found from investigations he made in England, in behalf of schook that in one case, a man had received a salary for a course of years from a public fund, without having one pupil under his instruction and in addition, received rent for the school house from another teacher, who kept a private school in the building erected ,hy the fund. Inquiry was made of the salary man why he did not keep his school? to which he replied, that he was always ready to instruct the scholars, but they did not come. It seems, however, that they did come to a teacher whom they paid for his instructions. A similar case was found, with the exception, that the school house was rented for a horse stable instead of a private school.

It may be said, tiiat it is useless to know of misapplications or abuses of school moneys, unless a remedy is proposed* Tree and the. remedy is at hand keep up public interest, and public inquiry'and general cooperation. This may be done,as has been fully and repeatedly proved by experiment. Public conventions and public discussion never fail to look up means and find out abuses. Old means are better used and new ones created. Some dormant funds and some dormant libraries arc resuscitated,— Teachers receive the aid,instead of the opposition of parents^l&fThe profession oj teaching is honored, not degraded. School houses are changed fronvprisons into pleasant places of resort. Truants, become attentive nnd delighted pupils. SchooU Cease to disgust, and amusements to corrupt child ten for thefkiain reason that instruct ion. is made amusement, and amusement instructions ftJnder such a state of things, education heroines tbe business of the community and of the whole community—of ever} man, woman and child. Tlie intellectual and moral culture, strength and dignity of individuals, communities, a nation, the world, time, eternity, ceases to rest entirely upon tbe shoulders of a few individuals, borne down with an additional weight of neglect, opprobrium, opposition, discouragement and almost broken hearted new."Every intellectual and moral being feels that he must be tbe architect of his own ioteleciaal and moral-characters that his teachers can merely render a little aid. and even that little but a short time, in arranging (he material and laying the foundation for a superstructure to be erected, finlslMMl and furnished by himself and by oo ooeehe and if not completed by himeelf,itmust soon, very soon present, not a specimen of the "noblest wont of God," which we witness in every human being exbtfaiiing true Intellectual and moral iUij statmgth. and dignity, but a speciocaof tbe ttKioesofa building began by God, butde-

nged and destroyed by the tenant mad sponsible for its completion and noble

responsible elevation. Facts fully prove, Mi Editor, what would seem to Bfe tho evident dictate of reason, that until public sentiment is awakened on th£ subject of education, legislatures may enact laws, appropiate funds, fhrnish teachers, supply books, and provide the whole parapharaaHaof schools, academies, lyceums, colleges, universities, &c* &c. but it will ati be in vaim. If such is the fact, why not adopt at once, and in every place. the natural, if not the only measure to awaken and enlighten public sentiment to wit: call-public meetings,institute public discussions, make public inquiries call upon the public and upon every individual for co-operation for mutual and personal efforts for self-instruction, self*education, fireside education, table education, social education, street education, shop education, farm-house education, htftel education, stage coach education, steamboat education, nnd the whole, ihteltfectual and moral education anddi^&ty. ~, 1*4%5

Goldsmith gives an account of a poor man, who went into a cook-shop and asked permission to snuff up the fumes of the savory viands, that were being served up but on going out, the cook-master demanded pay for a dinner. The case was refered to the Cadi, who decided that payment should be made by placing apiece of money between two plates and gfogting it in the landlord's enrs as long as the man had been occupicd in smelling of the food. In like manner have the people asked for money, and Mr. Van iWen has got up a gold currency humbug, for them to hear of and see without being able to get hold of any of it« Indeed we have not heard of any persons in moderate circumstances, who have yet beenable to procure a single gold eagle of tlie new emission. Wr apprehend that the recompence of Mr. Van Bmen ill be like that of the imposing landlord, he will hear the sound of the Presidency, without ever reaching it.
