Amid a little family Of bright green hills it stood,. In all its rude simplicity, Close by the becehen wood That old scheolhouse, with windows four, And one above the shattero docT. Near by the little brooklet sang: In summer time so sweot, Inviting to its pebbly shore, A dozen truant feet, Which dashed the crystal waters wide Whene'er they touched the sparkling tide. And when old winter's icy touch Had silvered o're the.gtreaio.,*^ And many a stately pile of snow Was heaped upon the green, Mow swiftly flew tlie shining steel, Bound closely to the skater's heel. Adown the hillside, and adown, The busy sledges swept, Then tugging up the glassy steep, The shivering urchins crept Unheeding the incessant roar, The matter pounding on the door. These merry forms come flitting The sunlight of my heart, And in each scene that fancy draws, They bear an hrmble part, As a band as e'er was seen, sported on the schoolhouse green. The Teacher's Influence. The importance of a teacher's position is not fully appreciated. He is not the mere creature of a day, or the hireling for a sea son, but long after he has ceased to direct the young mind in the path of knowledge and wisdom, by living, practcal instruction he liveth. Uow plastic the young mind yet how durable the impressions made upon it. The pictures of early life have a pecu liar beauty, and unwonted freshness. They are tuned with gladness and sunshine, they fade not, even down the long distanee future years. How he deluhte to back amid the walks of voun to those words of friendship, and forget the formality of the world about us These are early impressions. The mind was quick to receive and easy to appreciate no matter how rugged, no nutter how des tiluteof refinement and taste we loved those things then, and wc love thern still. They helped to mould the young mind The old schoolhou.se is not the least among the subjects of early interest, Where in hi* mossy mansi-n, born to rule Uio ullage mauter taught bis little school. We care to revisit in our investigation that old domicil, however rude. It was ot:e continuous row of wooden lynches, aranged so as to economize room in the best possible manner. The desks were carted \n a manner which exhibited the peculiar writing of the rising "renins. Then those familiar faces, we have not forgotten how her used to look. The bright eyed, flaxen he ded group, still live in bright pictures in the nursery. Xow the icachincs which the young mind receives are just as inalienable. How cautiouslv Hon. There is much theorizing on (he sub ject of teaching. Many men and women can preach long sermons on the best mode of managing a school and teaching children stand far alcof from the real conflict and deliter long and stately arguments up on a theme about which they knoxr very little. The practical, living teacher is the best theorist. The casual spectator is a very poor judge of the master and manner of teaching, 3-et, many such there are, wholesale, bird's eye critics, who deal out their criticism wiih very little intelligence An Ln. is 8 3 I am Iff^.T!??-1? *U HAELAK. vA 0 loor, its plain and rustic appearance, is yet I S every knoll is familiar, and wo a our wild rambles as we were wont to do in .• u and to save a nation, ami to wd record tho.with fairlovedand an joyful days The tunder toi" thosn ant truthfulness.

How General Hooker, talked to a Cay* airy ttrigadier. correspondent, writing from, the army of the Potomac says: rf.General Hooker, so far, has shown h\ro self to be a great chieftain, in the true sense of that terra, He has done his utmost to fc^pg up the army, and his labor has been rewarded with most gratifying success.— Tho recent brilliant affair at Kelly's Ford, wfcere our cavalry rushed upon the foe— without firing a shot—and sabered the reb eh? in their intrenchments, is but one indi cation of the great change he has wrought. The utter worthlessness of our cavalry had locg been the standing reproach of this army. Who ever saw a dea& cavalry man?" was the derisive interrogatory from every branch of the service. Gen. Hooker resolved this should cease. He told hi9 Chief of Cavalry he would have no more disgraceful "surprises." Said he to a Brigadier of Cavalry, I know the South and I know the North. In point of skill, of intelligence, and of pluck, the rebels will not compare with our men, if they are equally well led. Our soldiers area better quality of men. They are belter fed, better clothed, better armed, and infinitely better mounted for the rebels are fully half mounted on mules, and their animals get but two rations of forage per week, while ours get seven. Now, with such soldiers, and such a cause as we have behind ihem— the best cause, the most sacred cause, since the world began—we ounftt to be invincible and by Sir, wo shall be You have got to stop these disgraceful cavalry surpris es I'll have no more of them give you full power over your officers, to 'arrest cashier, shoot—whatever you will—only you must stop these 'surprises.'

Nullification. Nullification was never a Democratic burden of care and principle or policv. It was a favorite doc, \\ep.r:,M, th it warm hand, we listen U,ine down in Carolina some thirty years ago an attempt at that time to enforce il was put down by General Jackson, and nevertheless, it has been the popular creed ever since, and upon il the present rebellion was put into operation. There liave been repeated attempts at the North to set up doctrine of nullification it was attempted at Boston at several places in Pennsylva nia throughout the State of New York frequently in Ohio more than once in Chi cago, and on one or two memorable occa sions in Wisconsin. The Democratic par ty, represen'ed by Democratic administra tions, met these attempts promptly, and in more than one case there was a collision, ending in the loss of life, between the Fed oral authorities and the nuliifiers. It is rather late in the day, and we think in rather bad taste at this lime, to attempt to make nullification a part of the Demo cratic policy. We have taught the'Demo cratic doctrine of obedience to the laws, and a repeal of obnoxious laws by a resort to the ballot box, so long and thoroughly, that we religiously believe it is the only safe rule for a citizen to follow. It will be something new for the Democracy to hear the patent teachings of the present day, calling upon Democrats to take up arms, not vote, but arms to resist the enforce ment of Federal or State laws.—Chicago Post.

In it, he says 'I inculate in the premises but oee grand idea—crush and bury the rebellion it once beyond the power, prospect, or even hope. of resurrection. In doing this, I would not go out of tho way after slavery, nor to get around slavery, as an abstract question but would treat it as I would all other elements -takejust as much of it, and in such shapes as would aid the:Union, cause and weaken the rebellion, and no more, for I would have but one great object in the prosecution of the war.
