EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.

The Ketr Sohooi Laiw. If any friends of general  education had doubts of the meiils ofthe new  features introduced inlo our  public  school system lasl winler, a few months' experience has served to remove those doubts and inspire the grealost   confidence   at present,   and higliest hopos for  the   fuiure,    Thenew law is now universally popular except in n few isolated dislricls,   where the opposi¬ tion is confined to a mere corporal's guard, composed chiefly   ofthe   open  or secret enemies of any syslem of education design¬ ed to reach all classes   by a  public tax.— Though  this  hostility may  continue as long as selfishness or ignorance  shall con- la 00 ! tinue to mislead human judgement it need 'iJ j'''j not be feared.    It can nccomplish   nothing 38 no i more than deprive the few little communi¬ ties in which it rules, of the full benefit of our school syslem.

ESSAY,
Read bg JIiss N'aiicissa Benedict, bejore tlte Huntingdon Ccttiity   'Teachers' Insli¬ tute, Dec.l'ltl, 1F31. I teach, tbou leaeliest, bc teaches. We teach, you teach, they teach. So says the conjugation of the  verb to teach; and i>. is but thc   reiteration of the truth, that lessons of profii are laughi ev¬ erywhere and in everything.    If it were not so, why has God placed us here amid so many ihings  loo great forour compre¬ hension.    We are but the poor'tools in His hand to bo wielded as he pleases, and as long as  it  is in our power to further His commands and desires should it not be our greatest aim in  life  to do ourselves, and teach others the samet
rhey teach. The planetary syslem teaches the almighty power and wisdom of God. '\\'ho bul a spiril infinile and eter¬ nal, could place in the heavens such beaU' tiful lighls to guide the weary traveller as he treads the unbeaten paths of the desert ? The wind and storm teach us that we must not always expect the soft and gentle zephyrs to sooihe our wayward spiriis, but must sometimes feel the chilling blast, if it be only to leach the power of endu ranee. And deserving all our pity is the man who when assailed by the wind and storm, connot stand bravely up and let it pass over him, as it does over the mighiy oak, leaving him as firm as before. If we are fortunate's favorites, the good opinion of the world is ours. Our power can oU' ly be known when we encounter, resist, and endure the storms of adversity. Il is enough to ennable a person to see thc migtly forest tree bend and creak, but in the end raise its head as lofty and proudly as before, saying, "I have been well tried I have passed tbrougb the stern ordeal un broken." Thc balmy zephyr teaches.— It appears to say, be not discouraged ; soothing indeed is its cooling freshness af. ter ila day of loil, to feel as it were the hand of God gently passed across the brow 'J'bough money is a hard thingto borrow. | saying, "well dono good and faithful aer- ¦V'ea ind«ed !) y jnt."    It ap^eaii to breathe in our apit
it the word onward, onward, and still on, cease not till life ceases, and then sink in¬ to the arms of your Savour, knowing your lime was well apent, that you lived not for your own good alone, but for the good of those around you.
The sturdy oak and tiny harebell teach thc lesson they were intended to ; they show majesiy and dependence. The oak appears to say, let the ihunder roar and the lightning flash, I challenge them to do the worst, nnd see how the brave will bear. The tiny harebell hides behind a plant bet¬ ter able to protect it from the strong wind il seeking the gentle zephys as if cour¬ ting their socieiy. Note the growth of the oak from the little acorn, as with steady perseverance it fights its way through the hard wayside, is trampled down only to re-commence with more vigorous efieets to renew its progress, and see how well it is repaid; for in a short period it has grown so much that to the strongest wind it only bends its head.
The fragrant rose and the falling leaf teach us a lesson of the goodness of God in placing such beautiful emblems near us. Purity may be learned from thc opening bud to the dying flower; its very breath inspires one to holy deeds. While the falling leaf teaches us we are passing away, and soon be forgotten—that our "summer is past and our hcarvest ended;" as the leaf falls to the earth and mingles again wilh the same, so shall our bodies return agnin to their native dust and we shall be spoken of only as things that were. Thc seasons have their lessons.— Spring lells us that now is the time for ac¬ tion and warns us that summer is ap¬ proaching and the flowers nre in bloom, showing thnt we are slill remembered by our Creator, Autumn has come, wilh ils seared and falling leaves, telling us that all ihings arc pa,ssing away leaving noth¬ ing but old winter to follow in the rear, lo improve and enrich the earth with her frost and snow. When the year's profii is summed up, how little have we done deserving praise; on the contrary how much worthy of censure; how much have we learned, that thc closing scenes of life aro coming, that the frosts of nge will soon freeze up the fountain."! of our heart and hope.
Vou teach. In the schoolroom, yes 'tis there you teach and there you are repaid by seeing your very mind as it were in¬ stilled into o'.hers, your very ihouglu re¬ turned, and your appearance greeted with smiles ; there you have the pleasure of thinking it was you who introduced light inlo chaos, and saw it diverge in splendor as the lighl firsl dawned on the untaught brain. It was there you first noticed the difl-erence in children, wilh whal aptness some hear, and wilh pleasure receive in¬ slruclion, while oihers dull and stupid, will not bc entreated to learn those things which areforlheirownpleasureandbenefit. Your example by the wayside is an ever open lesson to the passing world. In social life you teach, and what a wide sphere you occupy there ; your example, your words and your works teach all those that come within your atmosphere.
At the firesii'e your influence is greater than anywhere else except the school,— There you have been taught and there you must teach, kindness, submission, obedience and love.
In your hours of loneliness, you first learned that all was not sunshine, but the sun is nol less brighl obscured by cloud,—. When you feel lonely and forsaken think not it will be ever so.
" But when your beart is pining,
Hope that your future bath, Ench cloud a silver lining
One rose in every path." In your life and in your dealh are im¬ portant lessons to be learned. If you have lived well, you have taught those who come after you how to live. You are all, «nd each and at all times leachers, and what and how you have taught will be a question for you all to answer.
TVe teach. What a field of teaching is here exhibited. What a sphere forour powers. As teachers we first note the up¬ ward steps ol childhood fromils A. B. C. till it masters the problems of Euclid.— What a pleasant study is a child. To feel that it is dependent on you for a lamp to its feel, and woe be lo the teacher who ne¬ glects to train the youlhful mind in ways of virtue,  truth and honor.
Bill ¦what do we teaeh'/ Of the cares of life and the issues of immortality. And those lessons must be so given as to draw the attention of the wildest and most way ward. By a stendy perseverance a loving desire to improve your charge, and your¬ self, order and regularity, a firm govern¬ ment, remembering that order is not al¬ ways preserved by the frowning brow, but by a steady rein.ns thc driver controls the spirit of a vicious homs-
/ teach. A re you iearning from me now! an humble efTort to perform a duty. There are no lessons I leach in my ichool-room to my scholars of more importance to them than is this lesson for you ; for duty by the poet is said to be the stern daughter of Ibe voice of God. Thou art victory and lnw,
Wben empty terrors overawe ; Give unto me made lowly wise, Tbe spirit of aeif-sacrilieo.

The Angel of the flowers ont day
Beneath a rose tree sleeping lay—
That spirit to whom power is given
To bathe young buds in dew from heaven.
Awaking from hia ligbt repose
Thc Angel whispered to the rose—
" Ah, fondest object of my care,
Still fairest found where all art fair—
For the aweet ahade thou givest me,
Aak what thon will, 't is granted thee."
" Then," snid the Rose, with deepened glow,
" On mo another grace bestow."
The Angel paused in ailont thought;
" What grace was there that flowera had nol?"
'T was but a moment—o'er the Rose
A veil of Mosa the Angel throws;
And robbed in nature's simplest weed.
Could tbere a flower that rose exceed.
CTTLTiyATIOir OFTBEES.
'1'ransplanting,—To traiuplant a tree properly, and in such a manner as to check its growth as litlle as possible, it must bc laken up with the entire mnst of its roots, as nearly as possible. Few persons who dig a tree are aware that ihey are culling ofl and leaving in the ground, nine-tenths of the net-work of finely branching fibres.
T'he best modern practice embraces the following requisites, after the tree has been carefully dug up, the soil properly enrich¬ ed, and the holes prepared ft^-their recep¬ tion.
1. Paring offwith a knife, those parts of the roots which have bfen bruised or wounded wilh the spade, so as to previent decay.v
2. If the wcalher is dry, or thn roots have become dried out ofthe ground, dip¬ ping them into a bed of soft mud, to coat their surface.
3. Selling the tree no deeper than it was before, except it bean inch or two to allosv the settling of the soil.
-1. Spreading out the fibres in every direction as widely ond evenly as possible, while fine mould is sprinkled or sifted among them to fill up the hole
5. Dashing in a few quarts of water when the hole is nearly filled, or by pour¬ ing il from a watering.pot while filling, to setlle the earlh closely among all the fino roots, and leave no interstices. Af^erwards, the filling is completed by b layer of dry, mellow earlh. This mode of settling the earlh is much better than treading with the foot.
Season for Transplantino.—A great deal of arguinent has been used in favor of autumn and spring transplanting re¬ spectively, and each season bas its strenu¬ ous advocaies. As a general rule, we advise planters to do the work when they have time to do it well; for after all, the treatment of trees has more to do with their success, at least twenty-fold, than the season of the year lor setting.
Ar'rKR-MANAOEMENT AND CULTIVATION.
—The young orchard having been prop¬ erly transplanted, the most important part of the management is yet lo come. The three chief requisites under (his head, are tvatering, mulching, and cultivation qf aoil.
yVatering.—If the other two requisites aro attended lo, it is very rare that any water is needed by the newly transplanted tree. Before the leaves open, very liule moisture escapes through its stem a/id branches. Pouring on large quantities of water at this time, is therefore not enly needless, but often very hurtful, by caus¬ ing water soaked roots, and tending to in¬ duce decay. The best way in which wa¬ ter may bc applied to such trees, is to wet the bark every day al evening, and oflener if they are shrivelled, maintaining a moist surface if necessary by a Ihin coating of straw over the stem. Trees apparently dead bavo been resiored to full foliage by this process.
After their expansion the leaves throw ofl: water rapidly. But even then, water wili do more harm than good, unless prop¬ erly applied. We havo known many trees killed by drouth, occasioned by wa¬ tering A little has been poured upon the surface, but which never reached the roots, and caused ooly a hard crust, depri¬ ving the soil of that flne sponge like quality which enables it   tp   retain   moisture—
Whenever it becomes requisite lo apply watar, a few inches of the top should be taken ofT, the water poured in directly on the roots, and then the earth replaced, ta¬ king care to make it fine and mellow.
Mulching, in connexion with a mellow surface, will in nearly all cases enlirely obviate watering. This is nothing more that covering the ground about the tree with old straw, coarse barn-yard litter, leaves from the woods, saw-dust, tan, or other material tending lo retain the mois¬ ture of the soil, which is otherwise con¬ stantly escaping from the earlh below.— It is usually applied much too ihinly, and in too small a circle about thc Iree, We have already shown that the roots extend to great distances. It is better to leave a sinall space uncovered immediately about the trunk, otherwise mice may harbor un¬ der it and eat the bark.
Newly set cherry trees are almost sure to perish during the heat of dry summers unless well mulched, even afler they have commenced a vigorous growth early in the season.
Cultivation ofthe Soil.—Themost important of all operations in connexion with the cuUure of fruil, and that on which the rapid gtowth, carly bearing and abun¬ dant crops of the trees, and the large size and high quality of the fruil, mostly de¬ pends, is tho cuUivotion of the soil, "It is the more important, ' says the Amer¬ ican Fruit Cullurist, "because it is not common crd and finished in a day, but needs constant attention for years ; and in ordinary practice it recieves greater neg¬ lect. For, of the thousands of trees which are every year tsan.splanled in all parlsof the country, the assertion maybe mode with safety, that more are lost from neglecled after-culture than from all other causes put logelher.
"To purchase and sel out fine trees of rare sorts,in a baked and hardened soil, whose eniire moisture nnd fertility are consumed by a crop of weeds and grass, might very aptly and without exaggeration be compared to thepurchase ofa fine horse and then perpetually to exclude hiin from food and drink,
"Here is the great and falal error wilh a large porlion who attempt the cullivalion of fruit. Wc may nol incorrectly divide these three classes :
"1, Those who, having procured their trees deslroy them al once by drying them in the sun or wind, or freezing thorn in the cold, before selling out
"2. Those who deslroy them by crowd¬ ing the roots inlo small holes cul out of a sod, where, if they live, they maintain a stunted and feeble exisience, hke the half- starved cattle of a neglectful farmer
" Oihers set them out well, and then consider their labors as having closed They are subsequently sufl'ered lo become choked with grass, weeds or crops of grain —some live and linger, oihers dio under the hardship; or else are demolished by cattle, or broken down by the team which cultivates the ground.'
lazy Boys.
A lazy boy makes a lazy man, just as sure as a crooked' twig makes a crooked tree. Who ever yet saw a boy grow up in idleness, that did nol make a shiftless vagabond when he became a man, unless he had a fortune left him to keep up ap¬ pearances ? The great mass of thieves, paupers and criminals that fill our peni tentiaries and alms-houses, have come to what they are, by being broughl up in idleness. Those who constitute the bus¬ iness porlion of the community, those who make our great and useful men, were trained up in their boyhood to be indusiri ous.
When a boy is old enough to begin to play in the street, then he is old enough to be taught how to work. Of course, we would not deprive children of healthful, playful exercise, or the tiin* they should spend in study, but teach him to work lit tlo by little as a child is taught at achool In Ihis way he will acquire habiis ot in duslry which will forsake him when he grows up,
Many persons who arc poor let their childron grow up to fourteen or sixteen years of age, or lill they can support them no longer, before they put them to labor. Such ohildren, not having any idea of what work is, and having acquired habiis of idleness, go forth to impose upon their employers wilb laziness. Thare is a re- pulsivenesy in all labor set before them, and to get it done, no matter how, is their oniy aim. They are ambitious at play, but dull at work. The consequences is, thcy do not stick lo one thing but a short time ; they rove about the world; get into mischief, and finally find their way lo tho priaon or lo the aim; hou, e.
Witbthc habit of idleness, vice may generally, if not invarinbly, be found,— Where the mind and hands are not occu¬ pied in some useful employment, an evil genius finds them enough lo do. Tbey are fbund in the street late in the ovening, learning the vulgar and profane habiis of the elder in vice. They may be seen hanging around groceries, bar rooms and siores, where crowds galher; bul thoy are seldom found engaged in sludy.
A lazy boy is not only a bad boy, but a disgrace lo his parenis, for it is ihrough their neglect that be becomes thus. No parent, however poor, in thcso limes of cheap books and newspapors, need lel thuir children grow up in idlenoss. If they connot be kept al manual labor, lel their minds be kept al work, make them industrious scholars, and they will bu in¬ dustrious atany busincss they may under¬ take in afler life.

HUMOROUS ASPECTS  OF AMERICAN LIFE.
IX-OOESTICXS LOOKS FOR A BOARD¬ ING HOUSE.
Nkw York, Oct. Gth, 1854.
Iiaving become, lo a cerlain extent, a fixture, in this high old lown, il became necessary lo senrch out a fil habiiation, wherein I might eat, sleep, change my shirl, (Damphooi blushes,) and allend lo the other comforts of tho external home, and Ihe inner individual.
My friend Bull Dogge having deserted his lttle place of residence, (on nccounl of of the perpelual reign of salt mackerel at the breakfast table,) we .started logelher on a voyage of discovery. To describe all the dilapidated gentlewoman, whoso npartinenls w-e inspected—all ihe mnny inducements which wore nscd to persuade us to take up our quarters iu all sorls of musty-smelling rooms, and torecniiiit how many promises we made lo ''call again," would lake loo much time. Suffice il lo say that, al six o'clock in the evening, wearied out and de,'--periilc, wp casl anchor in the domicil of an Irish lady wilh one eye. She assured us thai her boardei-s were nil ''rispiclible, and found their own tibaccy, and that there was divil a bug in the place." We look adjoining rooms, and resignedly wonl down to tea.
I noticed that my cup hnd evident¬ ly susiained a compound, comininuled frac¬ ture, and been patched up with putty, (which came ofl: in my lea)—that the bread was scant—the buller powcrf'ul—the tea, "on lhe conirary, quiie the reverse"— howover, although mailers looked some¬ what discouraging—'hoping against hope' —I reiired lo my virtuous sheets; honor of horrors ! O, most horriblu ! !
For two hours I maintained a sanguina¬ ry combat wilh an odoriferous band of do¬ termined cannibal insecls—armed only wilh a fire-shovel, I gallantly kept up the unequal conflicl—bul the Ireacherous im¬ plement broke at the critical momenl; I thought I should be compelled to yield— despair filled all my senses—my heart fail ed me—my brain grew dizzy wilh horror —hurried ihoughts of enemies unpardon ed, of dulies neglecled, and of errors com mitted, rushed aicross my mind—a lasl ihought of cherishe4 brtjine, and absent friends, was in my hearl, and, with a has¬ ty prayer for mercy and forgiveness, was al the point of yielding, when my frantic oye caught sight of my casliron bootjack; with an exclamation of pious gratitude to heaven (Bull Dogge says it did nol sound so to him) I seized it, and, wilh thc des¬ peralo strength of a dying man, I renewed the battle, and, eventually came ofl' victo¬ rious and triumphant. Weary with slaughter, I fell exhausted on thc bed, and slept till morning; Bull Dogge, who had been engaged in the same delightful sccu- palion, appeared at the breakfast-table wilh one eye black, and his faco spotted like a he tiger. We held a council of war, and resolved instantly lo quit the p'emisos of the Emerald Islander, who had agreed to "lodge and cal" us, (the she-Cyclops) and who had so nearly fulfilled lhe lalter clause, by proxy.
Anolher search, nnd anolher home.— Here, for a week, things wenl on tolerably well; lhe steak was somolimes capable of j maslioallon, the cofTeo wasn't always weak, i nor tha butler alwuys sirong; bul one day j there appeared al breakfast a dish of beof; | (Bull Dogge asserts that il was the fossil remains of an omnibus horse ;) it w.-ts not molested; a( dinner, it made its appear¬ ance again ; stijl il   wns  not disturbed ; al '
lea, fragments of it wero visible, but it yet remained untouched j in the morning, a tempting-looking slew made its appear¬ ance, but, alas, il was only a weak inven¬ tion of the enemy to conceal the ubiqui¬ tous beef; at dinner, a meal pie enshrined a porlion of the aforesaid beef—il went away unharmed. For a week, every dny, at every meal, in every subtle form, in somo ingenious disguise, slill was forced upon our nolico this o.iinipresent beef; it went ihrough more changes than Harle¬ quin in the Pantomime, and, like that nim¬ ble individual, came always oul uninjur¬ ed.
.\l the end of the second day Bull Dog¬ ge grumbled, to himself; the third, he spoke out "in meeting;" the fourlh, he d—mned audibly ; the fifth, ho had an hour's swear lo himself in his own room; the sixth, seventh, and eighth, he preserv¬ ed a dignified silence; bul his silence was ominous ; on the ninth day we bolh left. Our next landlady had a giganiic moulh, bul her noso was a magnihcent failure.— We staid whh hera week, nnd left becauso she seemed to be possessed of the idea that one sausags was enough for two men. For a month longer, we ran the gauntlet of all the model boarding-houses. We were entrapped by all kinds of alluring promises, and perpetually swindled, with¬ out any regard lo decency ; we had a tasto of Yankee, French, Dutch, and, I have mentioned it before, (ye gods !) Irish.'; nnd iiveil four days in an eslablishmeni presided over by a red-eyed darkey, wiih a wife thc color of a now saddle. At lasl. one day inan agony ol despair, I exclaim¬ ed, "Where, O where, can humbugged humanily find a decent place to food V Echo answered, "In the eating-houses." We resolvod to try il, and the rcsull is glorious. We have achieved a viclory, sir—an heroic, unexpected viclory.
And now, farewell, all scrawny landla¬ dies, ye snufly beldames, wilh your wood-, en smiles; farewell, ye viparous bedsteads, ye emaciated feulher-beds, and yo allenu- nted bolster.^ ; a long adieu to scant bluii- kels, and mattresses stuffed wilh shavings; farewell lo hirsute buller, and to ancient bread; good bye, (I say it with a tear,) yo immortal, everlasting beef; farewell lo sloppy cofl'ee, nnd to azure milk, (Dam¬ phooi says not yet;) farewell, ye antedilu- vijn pies, and you lilliputian puddings ; farewell, you two inch napkins, and ye holy lable-clolhs; farewell, ye empty grales, and rusty coal-scuttles ; adieu, yo cracked mirrors, which make a man look like a drunken satyr; farewell, yo respec¬ table chairs, with dislocalud limbs; adieu, ye fractured tea-cups, ye broken forks, and knives wilh hand-saw edges ; farewell, iu Incl, all ye lodging houses, where you can't Iiave a latch-key, and where you can lell whon Ihey gel a new hired girl by the color of lhe hairs in the biscuit.

Give us joy, for we have found a place where ihings are done up righl, where wc can chooso our own viands, where the beef is positively lender, where there are no little red ants in the sugar, where the potatoes are nol waxy, and where, if any- thing goes wrong, we can inflale Lhe wal¬ ler.
In facl, we are suited; if anylhing runs short, "John gets particular ji's," and "nulhinshorter;" where we can eat when we please, and call for what we please; vhere charges are moderate, and it is per¬ mitted to d—mn the waiter for nothing.— .4nd here, in this elysian spol, have Bull Dogge and I taken our daily bread, (beana and butter included,) for the past monlh, "without fear and without reproach."
