THE MOURNER’S LAMENT,
The night breeze fans my faded cheek
And lifts my damp and Howing hair,
Aund lo! methinks sweet voices ~peak,
Like harps hung forth upon the air;
While in the sky's unmeasured scroll
The burning stars forever roll,
Changeless as Heaven, and decply bright,
Like emblems of a world of light!
O bathe my temples with thy dew,
Sweet Evening—dearcst parent mild—
And from thy curtained home of blue,
Beund calmly o’er thy tearful child;
For when 1 feel so pure and bland,
The pressure of thy moistened hand,
1 deem | rest in peace the while,
Cradled beneath my mother’s swile.
That mother sleeps! the snow-white shroud
Eufolds her stainless bosom now,
And like bright hues on some pale cloud,
Rose-leaves are woven round her brow:
F wreathed them-that to [leaven's pure bowers,
Surrounded with the breath of flowers
Her soul might soar on plumes divine,
Like incense from a blessed shrine.
How changed my being! moments sweep
Down—down the eternal stream of time,
And we, like gilded bubbles, keep
Our course upon their waves sublime.
*l'ill mingled with the sunny spray,
We flash our lives of joy away,
Or floating on through Sorrow s shades,
Bink, as a gleam of starlight fades!
He too is lost—yon fudeless star
Is mirrored on a husband’s grave,
And through the coral depths afar,
T'he lalling of the ocean wave.
With the pale mermaid’s mournful dirge,
Sounds o'er him, 'mid the crested surge,
And darkly round his wasted form,
Brood spirits of the raging storm.
Alone—alone—l'm lefi"alone—
A being born to grieve and die,
And while upen Night's sapphire throne,
In yonder free and glorious sky,
1 gaze in sadness—llo! | feel
A vision of the future steal
Across my sight, like some fuint ray,
That glimmers frowm the fount of day.

THE COOPFERATION OF PARENTS
AND TEACHER?Y,
i The various influences which bear
‘powerfully upon the education of children,
‘are too much sepe rated from each other;
so that some of them are rendered inef-
Hectualy if not permeious, The agents
remployed in forming their minds, too sel
dom act in concert; so that what one
Dbuilds to-day, another pulls down to-mor
row. Thus it happens that some impor
tant branches of culture are neglected;
cand the characters impressed on the mind
‘and heart of a child, are weak, incon
aruous and misshapen. DBut every ele
ment of character must abide with him;
sand of these heterogeneous principles the
future man is formed.
; We ghall at present advert to this want
of harmonious influence only as it appears
in the separate agencies of'the parents &
‘ the mstructors, Seldom do they act to
gether, understandingly and efliciently,
an educating the common charge which
Jis committed to them both; whereas they
ought always to co-opeinte, knowing
cach other’s views, and strengthening
cach other’s hearts.
| The parent, (we speak of common in
stances,) leaves the iostruction and dis
cipline of his child almost exclusively to
his teacher at school. The teacher is
hired and paid for that purpose, school
‘house and books are provided, the child
!s(-nt as a regular attendant; and the pa
rent takes no farther thonght about the
matter. The child is expected to come
home educated, as the grain is expected
from the mill converted into flour, or the
cloth from the tailor’s fashioned and fitted
into garments. The teacher is the edu
cator of the child by profession; the nat
ural guardian leaves it in his hands; and
feels himself freed almost from that re
sponsibility under which God laid him
when he gave hum a child,
-~ This course of the parent involves a
deplorable neglect, in several particu
lars. |
In the first place, it involves a neglect
of the child for a great portion of the time;
during all the hours when he 15 not at
school; at home, abroad, in the house, on
the way, by day, and by night. Itscems
to proceed on the supposition that the
school alone is the place for instruction
or any sort of education. Out of school,
the child has some employment, or runs
at large, with very little oversight or at
tention to hisimprovement, The parent
does not carcfully direct the amuscments
and labors of the child so as to improve
his mind or regulate his moral habits, or
even preserve his health and invigorate
his physical constitution. Every thing
r 3 leit at loose ends, except what 1s need
ful to keep him out danger and gross in
iquity, and provide for his daily wants,—
The best instruction and discipline at
school, must be to a great extent coun
teracted and rendered inetfectual by such
parental indifference. The child 1s thus
deprived of more than half the attention
and eulture which he needs; for he is
handed over to those who cannot know
towards him the heart of a father, and
who were never intended to take his
place, or assume his responsibilities, ex
cept for the time he passes in the school
room.
| Again, the inattention of a parent is a
great hindrance to the teacher also, and a
detriment to the school. The teacher
takes the pupil into his own little world,
separated from the family and all the oth
‘er connections and associations of the
day. He knows nothing of what is pas
sing beyond his own walls, and all with
out are ignorant of what is transacting
within them. He does not understand
the arrangements of the family towards
the child, it'it have any; and the parent
is unacquainted with the arrangements of
the school. Each conducts the aflairs
of his own dominions, or neglects them,
independently of the other. Between
‘them there is no mutual understanding
and counsel; of course, there is no mu
fual aid, no sympathy, no striving togeth
‘er to advance in the best manner a com
mon object. The parent does not visit
the school, or examine his child, or asso
ciate familiarly with the instructor, The
latter feels himself isolated in the commu
nity where he labors, without a counsel
lor, without a helper, pamfully aware ev
ety day that he cannot do the good he
would, for the want of this very co-opera
on; but too modest or too listless to seek

decessors. So the evil remains unre
dressed, and all parties suffer the lament
uble eflects, but especially the child,
Now somecthing con be done to remove
this serious and threatening evil, and the
first step to the reformation is, to believe
that it is practicable; and the second is,
for the first paity that perceives the dif
ficulty to set about the business without
waiting for the other,
That the Llame in this thing may no
longer lie at our doory so far as our fee
ble influence may extend, we have writ
ten as above, And that we may make
one essay laither, we shall venture to ad
dress wfew words of advice suceessively
to the principal paitics concerned.
TO PAREN'TS.
You have placed your child at gchool,
and you expect a faithful discharge ol
duty from the teacher., That teacher
needs your counsel) your aid, your hear
ty and vigilaut concurrence with the
measures he may adopt for the education
of your child. He needs to be acquaint
ed with you; with your expectations, your
plans, your discipline at home. Ie
needs to be informed respecting you
child; his disposition and habits, his pre
vious studies and attamiments, his present
employment and associations while away
from his observation, He needs this,
that he may co-operate with you, & you
with him, and that neither may counter
act and destroy what the other aims to
accomplish, He needs your counsel and
aid; and while you withhold it; you dis
hearten and hinder him o his work, But
the greatest injury talls npon the child,
your own child. You deprive him ol
hall the benefit of his gchool, and lose
hall your money. In your own depart
ment too your child suflers loss; tor il yon
are disposed to fill up that departinent
with its daily duties; you cannol do it so
effectually while you Kkeep yowrsell a
stranger to the management of the other
which ils g 0 intimately connected,
. Now it belongs to you to make the first
advances here. In common public
schools, the teacher, male or female, is
olten a stranger in the neighbohood; per
haps young and unacquaiated with soci
ety. It he or she is acquainted with the
parént, still the customs of the place are
to be broken through before this object
can be attained, It becomes you, there
fore, to take the teacher by the hand, and
profier your frendly aid. Visit his
school, not with the authority of a censor,
but with the interest and sympathy of a
parent; and doit often, that youmay wit
ness its progress from time to time, and
become well acquainted with the plans
and management of the instructer, and
the peculiarities that may be discovered
in him or his school. lnvite him to your
hounse, and let him see you and your chil
dren at home. lnvite him or her, not
merely to “take tea” and converse on
the weather, and the news of'the day;
but to enter with life and spirit on the
great matter that concerns you both and
your beloved children also. Elicit his
views, and communicate your owin,—
Remark freely on the excellencies or de
feets of his principles and his administra
tion, and mvite the same freedom on his
part towards yoursell, This meecting of
the teacher and both the parents, should
be strictly a Lyeewin, where individual
responsibility is telt; and mutual improve
ment is the objectin view. Do this;and
if your teacher is not a dunee, both he &
you will receive and commumcate some
thing that will show itself’ the next day,
both in your house and the school-room
also. We nced not go into particulars,
or preseribe subjects for discussion in this
new Lyceum. 'T'he occasionthe circum
stances, the habits and views of the asso
ciates will snggest the most important for
the time being, We will adduce but one
instance, It is a practice . many
schools to keep a record of recitations,
delimguencies; &e. by which the conduct
and progress of a pupil inay at any time
be known. It isthe practice of some
teachers to send a wecekly bill of this kind
by each pupil to his parents; for their in
spection. Now this may be made highly
beneficial to the ehild and all concerned
in the care of bim; but is renderced worse
than uscless by the ignorance orinatten
tion of parents, I they make a serious
matter of ity the child will soon be relue
tant to carry home a bad bill. I they
treat it with indifference or negleet, and
do not co-operate with the instructer, all
the effect of the measure is lost; and the |
instructer has the mortification to sce,
that its influence on the child is positive-'
ly bad. The parties should wnderstand
and aid each other in the thing; if’ they
do, it may become a powerlul yet grate-,
ful stimulus to the child, in rezard both
to his studies and his behavior, So in
nuriterless ways, beyond what any one
has yet imagined; the concert ul'pl:'ms &
efforts between parent and instructer will
be salutary. |
TO INSTRUCTERS
But if parents do not move iy this mnt-I
ter, it will be perfeetly right that yon
should do it yourselves, It may be a
talse dclicaey that prevents you, But
whatever the obstacle may he, we eoun
scl you either to remove it or surmount
it. Nettle itin your mind beyond dispute,’
that the co-operation of the parents is es
sential to your suceess; and then resolve
that you will learn what they desire to be
done, and they shall witness or at least
hear of what you do, lTuvite yourself to
thetr houses, and them to your school,
Go and =it down by their side, and talk
with them about their children: Parents
are pleased with that theme, when the
speaker manifests an interest in their ofl
spring and a desire to do them goot,—
Most of them will listen; and if they are
silent at first, their tongues will soon bo‘
;luoued. They will become interested,
\and attracted to your object. They will
come and see your school, and begin to
Heel that it is both pleasant and uselul to
Hook after their lambs while they are in
your [old, and to take anew oversight of
them while i theirown, They will be
gin to realize that education means soine
thing, and must be attended to. They
will begin to huve thoughts on the sub
ject rushing upon them, aud which they
had never expected to have; and by con
tined iutercourse, they and you will all
be learncrs, as well as your pupils. The
Anterest once excited, will need to be
cutded and kept up by rencwed and in
creased eflort; bat it is not ditlicult to do
so, i your own heartisin your work, and
your own attainments are in good meas
are adequate to your station, The ef=
deet will soon be apparent and most hap
py on the children, They will Le de
highted when they see you sitting by
their fire-side, or their parcats entering
the school-room. They will learn that
the business ot their education is one of
srent importance, beeause it engages the
feelings of all around them; and the hap
py nfluence of your united efforts will be
discovered in their daily progress. Wil
you lry! |
A Rare Contmivarion or Trarrs or
Coanacren.-—We have the following
singular and interesting facts from a gen
tleman of our acquaintance now residing
in the city of New-York, who was ac
quainted with the persons and the cir
cumstances mentioned below,
' During the past winteg owing to the
depth of snow and the severity of the
weather, the price of wood reached the
‘cnormous sum of twenty four dollari a
cord, and conscquently there was much
ol severe suflering among the multitude
of the poorin that city, A call was
anade upon the benevolent to contribute
dor their velief, Individuals had their
Jdifferent distriets assizned them, and a
call was made at every house, So that
!lhnsc who were able might have an op
portunity to contribute, and that those
who were in want might be searched
out and relieved. Oue of the gentle
lumn thus employed in the upper part of
the city, called at the hut of a man of
color who was well known there from the
circumstances of his driving a single cow
‘hefi'!‘o.n cart, gl':iding her with reins,—
iul»tgnnn; a living by the empl'.)_\ ment
‘which he found in the husiness ol a car
[nmn. The gentleman as he entercd,
noticed i a back yard a considerable
quantity of hickory wood, and inquired
of the ocenpant whether it was his; and
’.lwing told that it was, proposed to pur
‘chusc some of it. But he refused to
sell. The price at which wood was then
selling was offered and urged upon him;
K’lmt no, he would part with it at no price. |
The gentleman told him the object for
,which he wanted it; and mentioned the
distress of the numerous objects of char
ity in the city at that inclement scason,
The negro after a little conversation
told the applicant, that if it was to be
given to the poor he might send for nine
loads [or which he should take no pay,
and that he might have nine loads more
for the same price which he paid for it
in the fall—being about one halt’ what it
was then bringing in market, The of
fer was accepted. The surprize of the
gentleman may well be conceived—and
the negro with the cow and cart, and his
donation of forty dollars worth of' wood
for the relief of the poor, will not soon be
lorgotten. Instances ol great wealth
concealed under appearances of abject
poverty, have occasionally been found,
but never before have we heard of a sin
gle case where that industry and frugal
ity which enabled the individual to ob
tain it, were united with such a noble
spirit of genuine philanthrophy and char
ity as was here exhibited. Roch, Obs.
Gravity or DBreakrast. Whether
breakfast is the most serious and silent
meal because it is the first, or because it
is the soberest, it is diflicult to say; but
it does generally pass without much
talk that is worth recording. Punsters
very seldom pun at breaktast, and the
narrators of long-winded stories are at
that time more sparing of their tales,—
There is then seldom any argumentative
discussion, or any play of wit. DBreak
fast 1s altogether a matter of business,
an afiair ol life and death, because, if
people did not break their fast, they
could not live. Dinner is quite another
thing; that is, more a matter of plea
sure than ol business; and they who
speak of the pleasures of the table, are
supposed to allude to dinner, and not to
breakfast. A man may dine with
Duke Humphrey five days in the week;
but it is a much more serious matter to
breakfast with Duke Humphirey. '
l Stavperers, It is no breach of
charity to look upon the propagators of
slander in the same light as the inven
tors of it 100 t be true, that “out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh,”” cand who will deny it?)—
then does not the propagation of scanda
ous tales imply a vicious mind? Talk
of the vileness of the incendiary who,
sets fire to vour dwelling! Is he to be
put upon a lower level than he who by
his falselioods prostrates the fair fame of
the virtuous, and destroys the reputa
“tion of whole families? What palhiation
is it for a slanderer to say that as he
heard the tale ¢o he related it? How
much would it lessen the turpitude of an
incendiary; upon being detected in ap
plying the fire<brand to your dwelling,
for hun to say that he “procured it from
another;” or to say that he “was mere-/
ly using it in sport?” * f
