Come home, love, come; his deep fond eye

On the Inflnence of the Teacher.
Next to the  parent, there is  no jipr.ioti wfco
olny follow their own rules whil^ in the school room's they must bc on the alert, always en¬ deavoring to have the pupil see they require no¬ thing they would not, nnd could notdothcmselves. Tcncbors must mnke themselves thorou'^'hlyun- dcrstood, to do this they must foci, nnd produce
Political Science. Political Science is tlie science of Govern¬ ment. Ever since the or-T.tnijtation ofour own Republic, it bas roceiTed a 1ar'_'e amount of consider.ilion. It is a siu'rular fact, that the first '.'real political work on this  subject,  was
the same emotion in the -soul of tbe pupil. All published in tbe same year thit the Declara- children would rnther be praised thun blamed, | tion of Independence' was made. This was and by exloUing the 200(1. the rebellious nnd | uSniilh's Wealth of Nations." The frcalesi unkind may bc brought to do right, because its j minds, both in tbis country nnd iu Europe, results please thcmsi'Ivcs. If teachers lovc and 1 hnvc been nnd are still devoted to the study of respect their jiupils,  muny will i-clurn the fcol-1 governmenti
Let tbem make the pnlh of truth and kind¬ ness pleasant, keeping in thoir own and tbr mind of the pupil, that happiness is the rew-ard of virtue, misery of vice.
Instructors should teach thoir pupils, kind¬ ness, politeness and cnre ofthe fcclin-isofthoso around them, kindness often wins, when all else fails, who would not jircfcr seeing children do¬ ing good actions, to seeing thetn engaged in malicious mischief. Sec them help the poor, rather than pass them by unnoliccd, and w-hcn any onc has done n kindness to his mate, let the teacher speak of it with pleasnrcj and it will be an iiiccnlivc to another action, thns having a la.sling influence on both parlies concerned.
Political Science is divided into two jrnnd departmeiils. The onc is tbnl of Pure Poli¬ tics, or thc n-ccrtniniiig oflhc best principles, under which Stntes may be oriranizcd and nnd governed. Under this hcnd the legisla¬ tive, iudii'iiii. uud executive dcpaiinicnls are considered; the prrt;'cr functions of cacb; tbc restrictions in the supreme power; and how the various subordinate oflicers ."hall bc cho¬ sen. The deparlment of Pure Politics, iii- clndi-s subiecls of vast inlorest. The intelli- gence, mor.ilily, nud cap.ibility ofthe people coiistitutlng nations, have to be laken into con¬ sideration in tbe discnssipn ofthis department.
The second L'rand division of Politic.il Sci¬ ence, or that which is commonly understood ns
Thc conduct of the teacher when  free from j bclonginc to Political  Eeonomv. conlemplatcs the care of school, must slill bc thc same, must   governments as they exisl; nnd  considers  thc

tion, anil hnppiness may be secured to Ihe peo¬ ple coii-iriiiiliii,.: the nation.

The following fri^:htful account of white sla¬ very in London, whkih we extract from an Engli.sh paper, is commended to the special attention ofthe hundred* of thousands of/(irfi'fs in England, who arc preparing to give Mrs. Stowe ft national welcome, for exposing the evils of negro sla\-cry in tli.S' United States. As Mra. .Stowe has so largely profited by her first novel, wc commend this as u subject for a sec- ond, in which her imaginati in would not be so severely taxed in search fnr the pathetic. Thc article is from thc London Tmri,. and ia written by what is called a "First l\l,ind'' Sempstress, for which she has beon proiicribcd by her hu¬ mane employers:
" I have been eniraged in Ihis buainess for fourlcen years nl difl'orent 'first-class houses.' and na my henllh is now sulTcrinij from the 'late hour avstcui,' I have been prevailed upon by this' medium to givc Ilml iufofmntion whicb experience has taugbt rae, in th'-' hope that some enlcrpi'iiiing and humnne individuals will exert themselves to break the chnins cf that sin\-ery under w-hich so many thousand.s of tlieir country-w-omcn are bound. I will now speak of a recent engaeomciit of mine, nnd which in the 'one' case will illustrate the inniority of lhe 'West-end houses.' I held the posiiion of w-bat is called 'first-hand,' and hud twelve young pcople under nie. The senson commenred about.the middle of March. We breakfasted at .si.x A.

At that hour the young Jicoplc would often ask my permission to send for a glass of beer; but this was strictly prohibiled bv the principals, as they insisted that it caused a drowsiness, and so retarded thc work. At one the dinner bell rantj, which re¬ past consisted of a hot joint twice in the week, and cold meat the remaining five days, no pud¬ ding, and a glass of toast and water to drink. To tbis meal tw-enty minutes w-erc given.— Work again till the five o'clock summons for lea. which occupied fifteen minutes. Airain to work till called to ?upper at nine, which also occupied fifteen minutes, and consisted of bread dry cheese, and a jlass of beer. AU again re¬ turned to stitch, alitch, till one. twn. or three o'clock in the mnrnintr, neeordinpr to the busi¬ ness, while Saiurday nitrbt wns being anticipa¬ ted all tbe week, bcc.iuse then no one would work nfter twelve. With tbis onc night's ex¬ ception, all the rest wo had for three weeks, from the end of May to the middle of .Tune, w-aa from three to six, while two nights durintr that time w,» never lay down. I leave your reuders to iina-rine the speciral countenances nf us .ill. I sbuilder myself, when I ri'call tbo picture.

With the exception of the dome, the iron work ofthis portion is now vory near completion, and the Crystal Palace begins to develope. in its stately proportions, the ilcsign originnlly con¬ ceived by itsprojeclor. The inlerior presents a labyrinth nf pillnrs, rods, ropes nnd timbers, with men thickly scattered, and making thc air re¬ sound ivitb the elattcr, clang and creaking of Ibeir Implements. Curious visilors arc excluded by a woden enclosure, iviili gntc-kcepcrs, but tbe vicinity is daily visited by increasing numbers. The summit ofthe Reservoir is the favorite look- ont place. On Tlinrsd.-iy last, it Is o»liniat«l,not less than 5000 persons visited the Reservoir to avail themselves of tbe prospect there afforded.— A Inrgc nuniber of strnngers are alreaily attrac¬ ted 10 the city by the presence oflhc palace.
The entire'juililing is ready to be roofed, ex¬ cepting the dome, tbe clazins: ofthe first story is neni'y finished, nnd that of the second has been commenced; the roof of onc section has been put on. anil the floor ofthe second story has been laid ns fiirn, the roofinij extend*.

Education in America.
It is evident that the United States is pro¬ gressing nt an unuxampled rate, partly from the enormous annual increase of iU popldation by emigrnlion and other caiiseii—partly owing to thc extent and ferlility of its soil, the chenp rate at which all tho necessaries, and even comforts of lilb can bc procured, and, abovo •ll, from tbo indomitable energy and enterprise of its inhabitants. The important aubject of thu educution of the people appears to engage the peculiar attention of thc Slates, and the ef¬ fects of Ihis judicious foresight will, no doubt, be observable in the alill higher social position and status ofthe rising generation in America. Wherever a few houses are oructcd, the school- house ia tho most prominent; and although separated from the secular, thc religions in¬ struction of the people ia equally well attended to. The educational statistic of some of tho large cities of Amorica, ami the almost nomin¬ al rate at which un excellent education can be procured, would put to shame some of tbc boasted preeminence of the uld world in this respect. Whatever the cbai-actur of thc peri¬ odical literature raay be, the wants ofthe Amer¬ icana in this respect nre equally woll attended to, for thev have no less than 2800 newspapers and periodicals, having an average circulaiion of ahout live millions, the uiitiru number of co¬ mes published annually amounting to uo less than 12'.!,UUII,OU0.—LoniyoH Morning Herald.

in onc of our southern Atlantic st.ites. uniting in himaelf all those amiabilities and excellencrg which in the eye of thc world make up the gentleman and the good companion. He had lately marriod a gentle, loving raaiden; and their days were .speeding by in the enjoyment, ns they fondly fancied, of every thing that could confer pleasure or add a gn.'nter zest to life. But in Ihe midst of their round of dissi- |ialion, Ihcyoung wife felt ftn undefined long¬ ing for sonielhing purer, holier, than she had yet experienced. The .Spirit of Ood w-aa gent¬ ly leading hcr, though she realized it not, lo the possession of real pleasure, and the pros¬ pect of unending bliss.
In thia feeling of dis.suti.-fui'tion iviih w-orlil- ly joya, her .'•tcpa were providentiallv directed to n religious service atlcnccd by the poorer clasa of her neiirbbora. The deep scriouaness of the humble throntr, the fervid earnestness of thc preacher, and tbc inward raonitiona of the aw.ikening .Spirit in hcr troubled breast, told her that here wis to be fiiund the lasting jny she soujrht, even in the ennobling service of Chriat. The couflict was slinrt. She fiiund repentance and .submission sweet. She found her Saviour gracious.
The newa fell like a thunderbolt upon thc car ofthe ustoiiiahed husbnnd. She ao gentle.

Was ahe to forsake tbe w-nrld, of wbich she had been so lom/ ft bright and shining star? Wns ahe who had lived so long for bim alone, to give up all for Jeans ? Ah, how the deep malignity of his evil heart burst forth. But though she trembled and wept at his angry expostulations ahe faltered not.
.\t length the time drew ncar when thc ncw convert, with other fruits ofthe pastor's faithful¬ ness, were publicly to avow their renunciation ofthe world. B 's anger was non-fully ex¬ cited. Had his wife been willintj to connect herself wilh any of the more  fashionalile  eon-

The Twilight of the Grave.
The Grave! into ita dark portals cnti^r the apv^d and thc voung, and they return no morel Their morlal frames have fiillen, and now, how awfully mysterious ia the crave! And noucht can reveal its secrets, until the lusl trump shall sound, awakening Earth's countless millions to life nnd iraniorlalily.
Yct the ni-»Iit of death is not .ill darkness.— When the Christian is laiil to rest, when the toils and cures of hia pilgrimage are over, a glnrinus halo surrounds his tomb, a bcanteoup tw-ilii/ht rei.e-ps ever ihere. When thc .Son nf God arose triumphant nver the prave, he rob¬ bed it of its terrors. The Christian rests in hope. Wherever hia .i.shes repose, whether side by side with much loved friends, or in a alran¬ gers crave, they will riae in imperiahnble glory, nnd tbrnuchout eternity, live ever on. Then why should wc fear the grave ? It ia a qniet rcstinc place fiir Ihe weary pilgrira. and when ita portals open to receive his toil-worn frame, hia ransomed spirit arises to mansions of eter¬ nal licht and glory.
Then let ns no longer look upon thc grave, as the end of all our hopes, nor feel that Iho loved ones there entoratied. must lie in evcr- lastinc silence, bnt may we hope to bc re-nnited when the nii'ht of death is pn-saed. Let us no loiiL'cr consider lhe lomb a dreary abode, but feel lhat thc doom of earth, nud the brichtness of heaven combine to render it a glorious twi- licbt.
The Christian's gr.ive is a hallowcl spot.— The depravint/ on,' stands at the llircsbold of eternity, nnd tbe hopes and fears, the ioys and aorrow-a of Ufi- move him no lonccr. The sand.i oflife are nearlv spent, anil when the laat one falla. he departs to the spirit worid; lo that heavenly home, where the changing scenes of time eannot enler, where farewell lears are never shod, whore sorrows are unknown Liz¬ zie.
