How like a peal of thunder awakening as from some pleasant dream, when the dash ing of the rain at the window, the howling of the tempest on the hill, and the blank dark ness about ns, lake the place of the soft voice that was in our ears, and the smile that warm ed our hearts, leaving us for a moment star tled and bewildered, comes intelligent of the death of a friend, whom we left a few weeks, or it may be a few days ago, in the enjoy menl of vigorous health. A thousand times over we may say lo ourselves, Uan my weak hands wrest my des tiny from the power of Omniscience? Can warp circumstances to my will? Can I be other than I am ? and so, yield to the sway of blind impulse, but a voice that condemns us a still, small voice is sneaking all the wnue in our nenrts, nnd making itseit felt a hove our senseless declamation.

Our feet would be weary on the green hills of heaven in the first passionate consci ousness of our desolation, and our lips parch ed by the sweet waters of life, if all that made an Eden to us here were wanting there. We have need w be thankful that when man brought on the primal tlory of nature the mildew of sin, God did not east utterly from him but in the unsearchable rich es of his mercy struck open the refuge of grave. If there were no fountain where sins ofscailet might be washed white as wool, if the black night of death weie not bordered by the golden shadows ofthe morning of mortally, if deep in tha darkness were hidden the foundations of the white bastions of peace, it were yet an inestimable privilege to lay aside the burden of life, fur life becomes, sooner or later, a burden, and an echo among ruins. It seems, sometimes as if we were drifted here and there, by blind chances, periah, at last, like the flowers; and tins espe cially seems true, when, after striving earnest ly but vainly to pierce the darkness which lies between the farthest strech of imagination, nnd the eternal bright about God, thoughts come back to our poor mortal being.

THE WRONG ROOMA FACT.- THE WRONG ROOMA FACT.-OF COURSE. BY W. no his us the our ira not but to our turn little and fall During the war of the Revolution, and at the time of the encampment of the British army under Cornwallis on Pumplon Plains, in New Jersey, there belonged to the 6th regiment of Light Dragoons, a jovial, light hearted fellow, whom for convenience sake, we shall call Ned Rawson, and who boasted the rank of Captain. We will not occupy time in describing his personal appearance, but, at the same time, wishing that the read er should have a tolerable notion of it, we will say for correct comparison, that he looked exactly like himself. Now, by the by, fumpton flams were set tled principally by Germans, and there was no wonder, that in so quiet a place as that excluded region, tho "pomp and circumstance of war" should strike Ihe honest-hearted peas antry with awe, nor is at all strange that swords and uniforms were tho admiration of the buxom lasses of Pumpton Plains, who, to do them justice, were by no means of that style of beauty to be slighted, especially if the beholder delighted in round, red checks ; lips not precisely of the rose-bud order, but rath er more like tho blood beet ; eyes, which, when taken in connexion with the general contour of the face, had that deep, heavenly expression, which would be presented by couple ot yellow onions floating in a pan melted lard ; and a foot and ancle, oh I ye Gods, let me not Bpcnk of them, lest transport lay hold upon me ; and then this formidable array of personal charms, veiled by the most charming, bashlul, and retiring modesty. In consequence of these things, were the marriage of a goodly number of the rich far mer's daughters to poor soldiers with line uniforms; a thing which rather tickled the vanity of the mothers, nnd no doubt pleased the daughters. Uut notwithstanding this "marrying and giving in marriage," tliere still remained one beauty over whose head the m.ttiimonial noose could not be cast, owing, it must be conceded, to the obstinacy of her misanthropic parent, who would listen to proposal for the marriage of his daughter, but guarded her as faithfully as did ever monster Cerubus the cavernous entrance Plut's infernal regions. He even went far as lo serve a summary process of shoe leather ejectment upon a young captain, who had the insolence to propose n union with his Mary. The sweet Mary was by no means insensible to the attraction of laced caps military whiskers, a thing not at all strange. But not so with her choleric parent ; he flew into a rage, declaring that officers "vare von tarn boderation and trouble," and completed his lecture by venting his spleen on the targe house-dog, "Bijou," and kicking the cat most unmercifully, whenever came in his reach. The fact of Mary being so strictly guarded, only made her an object of interest lo the officers, since she appeared like a something which might not be posses sed a kind of forbidden fruit and this very circumstance invested the innocent Mary with tenfold charms. No sooner had the saccess and treatment of the captain became known, than he roado the laughing stock of his "mess," the beautiful Mary was left to languish in scurity, until the dashing Ned Rawson dared his determination to make love to Ilia fri.-nds thought this a dangerous under taking, and so declared to Ned. But dare-devil disposition loved the undertaking the better from its difficulties and dangers, and be philosophised, that if the old should kill hint, he could never die a more glorious death. As was customary among the rich farmers, who were very strict in performance of their religious duties ; Mary with the rest of the family, wasobliged every Sabbath, whether willing or not, lo attend church, which act of devotion she the more readily performed, as it afforded her an of seeing a number of the officers. Ned studied much and long before he could contrive to gain an interview with the delight ful Mary. At length he hit upon a happy expedient ( the old church afforded or might afford, the desired opportunity of conversing with the object of his passion. Thither accordingly repaired on the following Sab bath. Ala-v was there. Alter the service was over, Ned obtained her permission to her home, and during the walk the man ner of their meeting Was arranged, much the satisfiaction cf Ned, though rather against the scruples of the bashful Mary. It concluded that inasmuch as they could meet with the consent of the parenc, would meet without his knowledge, and the following manner. After all the rest retired to rest, Mary was to L'ave her burning at her window (and Ned Was be should know it from among a thousand account of its lustre !)thich window, nnd room to which it belonged (though of last I am not quite certain) were situated the first noor of the old family mansion. precisely ten o'clock, three friendly raps the wmdow were to warn Mary of the ence of her faithful cavalier. They met tiight after this fashion, "And all went merry a marriago bell.' a ot no the Nor was this the last mcctbg ; They sue-1 cceded each other as regularly as Sabbath succeeded Sabbath. In the mean time, as a matter of consequence, a strong affection sprung up between the dashing Ned and tho spirited Mary, and many a hnppy hour (stolen of course, but like kisses, the sweeter for it,) they spent together. Of course such pleas ant days were not destined to last forever. "The course of true love" never did "run smooth," at least so we are taught to believe, and so the termination of this affair goes to prove. After an evening spent nt the card table, in which the whole party had become highly excited by the play, and plentiful draughts of wine, Ned took it into his head to visit Mary, his beloved Mary. He did not consider how improper would be a visit at two o clock in the morning, and that too, without giving his "lady love" due notice. He had arrived at that point which sets all reason at defiance; and away he went. lie had visited her so often, that he did not con siJer it worth while to give the customary warning raps, and "thereby bangs a tale." Accordingly he hoisted the window, and ma king a partial ingress, hung with his feet sus pended over the sill inside for a momunt, and then dropped. Thunder and blood suckers 1 He fell into some cold substance to his hips. He then attempted to step forward, partly because it was the will ofthe wine which he had drank, nnd partly because the impetus which he had g lined in dropping from tin window sill, rendered it necessary to m tin tain his phvoical equilibrium, the mental hav ing been alri-ady I M. In his attempt lo step forward, ho found tiis feet encased and en tangled in something like a half bushel, and he full forward at full length upon the floor, with all tho noise attondant upon a calam ity of that kind and time, and the tremendous churn disgorged its liquid contents of butter milk and butter over his splendid unifrora. The truth flashed upon him at once. He had got into "the wrong room." He did not pause to Gnd further evidences of the fact, but left in the quickest manner possible. But Mary had heard all, and comp tebended all, when she saw by the glimmering light of the moon, her lover emerge from the pantry window, drenched with the contents of the churn, which, on the last evening, she had placed under the window. Her plans were laid im mediately. She went out and gotting Bijou, she took him into the pantry and swabbed him well with the same liquid which had be smeared her lover. She then obliterated the marks about tho window which Ned had made in his egress, and returned to her bed. The next morning she was awakened from slumber by tho piteous yells of poor, innocent Bijou, who received an unmerciful drubbing, the old man declaring that "he vas von tarn miserable schountril." As for Ned, he was sick and confined to his bed for several days, at least, until his uniform was washed and dried. It is hardly necessary to state, that Ned never visited Mary again ; he tried hard to keep his adventure a secret, but it would leak out, and Ned was obliged to throw up his commission and return to England ; but not, however, until Mary had informed him by a note, of the result of the matter, and begged him to continue his visits. Mary could never after be prevailed upon to marry, but lived an old maid, and died at a very ad vanced age. to ro and in stantly she Ol Scolding. It is as natural for some peo ple to scold, as to breathe. They could if denied the blessed pastime of dealing such language. Even when unprovoked, thehr words are as sharp as a two edged word. To say that we had rather heat thun der, is a feeble comparison. We had rather hear a gong, especially if it calls to dinner. We once knew a child who actually snivelled because his mother neglected to scold bim pounding the cat's tail with a boot-jack. The trnth is, that children become so accustomed to scolding that they look upon it as a matter of course. We never knew a scolding parent who could make a child mind without a hick ory gad or broom-stick. They move only when knocked end-ways. Reader, do you scold ?

Educational Department. The following from Hino is excellent, and We hope it may find many intelligent and at tentive readers. THE SCHOOL-HOUSE. in for to the art- , the tho and unto We are all in the great School-House of the Universe. We are all learners, from tho first to the last breath we draw learners of the Good and the True, or ofthe Evil and the False. Every thing in the Universe that comes within the reach of human contact pos sesses an influence upon man. .Natures School-House is beautifully adorned and mag nificently arrayed. All that we complain of in Society grows out of mental inferiority; but as man is introduced to the works of Cre ation admitted into the interior of Nature's School-House, he grows superior, and his en joyments increase, as do his virtue, his knowl edge, and Ins development. All that is required is to open the eyes ot the blind that they may behold the beauty and glory of God's Great Kingdom ; to unstop their ears that they may hear the melody ot mture nnd the music of the Spheres; and to unlock the gates of the Understanding that man may be bled with the great thoughts and noble sentiments inspired by true Enlightenment. lint there ate hchool-Houses on a smaller scale. Every Houshold, every Church, every Reading-room, Library, and Lyceum, in short every place in which intelligent beings congre gale, is a School-House, where mind is Edu cated, where shape and direction are given to human destiny. These are chiefly the schools fir adult persons, and they have much, yea, almost everything to do with the interests and welfare of the people. In proportion to their efficiency, is the present generation im proved, virtue promoted, and happiness in creased. The Household, however, is the School House of the children in their earliest years, when the most is done in the formation of character. Same have thought that the prin cipal elements of character are imparted du- riug the first seven years of life; if so, how absolute is the influence of Humanity ! And when we reflect that so much parental igno rance prevails in relation to the discipline and development of children; when we reflect that more than half of these Schools in even our own land are most unfortunate for the youth that are trained therein; when we re fleet lhat the fashion and aristocracy on the one hand, and the privation and vice on the other, render childhood's home most destruc tive to genuine worth and well-being, we are sometimes led to despair of saving the whole people from the evils under which Humanity groans. But when we t'Jrn lo another class of School- Houses, nnd reflect that they can be made as attractive and emcient in moral and intellectual culture as we please, there is some relief to the sad picture of home nnd its dark ness. In these rubllc School Houses the children of unfortunate parents can find relief. J. hey can be made most pleasant Asylums to which they can fly for refuge from ugliness unpleasantness, and depravity at home Home ought to be the Holy of Holies in tl.a Great Temple of Humanity. Everything within nnd without ought to be beautiful, pure, chaste nnd simple, iso base thought, vile feeling, nor vulgar action ought ever to invade this sanctuary. Much care ts taken of the Church, and no one is permitted to walk her aisles with unsandaled feet; but how much more care should be taken of the still more sacred temple of Home, where the mind of every man and woman receives its first im' pressions! And yet, little thought is given to not lh few small in terests, from this. Too many of these nurseries are rank with poisonons weeds. Too many Homes re tilled with the deepest corruptions to which the young are subjected. Uut this is due to parental inferiority, and while the mature cannot be suddenly trans formed into angels, we can open the door the i'unlic school-Mouse and welcome their children to a house of heavenly refuge, where the evil Influences of Home may bo counter acted. The good is stronger than the evil tho true thun the false. Tne young can be readily attracted by the good and true, for the children would be nearly right if half a chance were given them. All hail, then, to the Public School-House nnd let no pains be spared to make it what should be. What are some of the principles that should direct in tho building of these cit adels of Virtue, these temples of Human pro cress, these pillars of the Kepublici 1. Its size should be ample for the accom modation of all the children within walkin distance unless in case of a large city, when there are more than can be auvaniageoiiK managed in one building. Five hundred, eeil one tho isand, are not too many und one roof, ptovided the institution be organize as it should be. 2. It should be as pleasantly looaled as pos sible, with ground enough for recreation, walks green pint, flowers, and shrubbery. Tho in fluence of these cannot be estimated. They lend n charm to all around, soothe the rough temper, increnrc the general amiability, and do what the rod could never accomplish, dis pose the pupils lo good order. This is highly important to make the place atiractive to those children who are unpleasantly situated at home. 3. The building should be directed by chitectural hkill, so as to subserve good taste, convenience, comfort, and economy. Money would be saved by patronising a good Architect, who, under the directions of a good teach er, should lurtnsh Ihe plan. 4. The building should be thoroughly ven tilated, and it is as easy to secure this indis- pensibie prerequisite lo health, ns it 13 make the school-room the generator of colds. coughs nnd consumption. 6. there should be as many school nnd citation-rooms as the number of pupils may require; to large reception halls, one for males, and the other for tho females and cal culated for play-halli when the Weather is clement xue school-rooms thould be provi ded with the most comfortable seats and con venient desks, all tod neat to be abused. floors should be kept clean) and if carpeted much the better. The walls should be hung with maps, diagrams, and black-boards. within should bo in good taste, and the doors should remain locked UDtil the ringing of pen. 8. Each School-House should be provided with all the apparatus that can aid in impart ing instruction, and if the public spirit would place a good library there also, out of which the pupils may draw books and circulate them at those homes where scarcely a ray of light is permitted to shine, it would be of immense service in banishing moral darkness from so ciety. Of course, the School-House will be more or less perfect as the public sentiment of the town is more or less elevated. These Edifices ought to be the College of the Land from which all who choose may graduate with a thorough Education. They should be tho People's Colleges, Free to All, and in every other respect superior to any other institu lions. The School-House should be the proudest monument of the City, Town, or Neighbor hood. The Churches of our cities are deco rated with all the cunning of Art, but th School-House is thrown together with rude hands. The Church is used once a week by the adults chiefly, but the School-House is daily occupied by children on whom such in fluences would have a most salutary effect. Ifint't Progrttt PumpMtt. Do not sit dumb in company. That looks either like pride, cunning or stupiditv. Give your opinion modestly, but freely ; hear that of others with candor; and ever endeavor to find out and to communicate truth. 7The ladies are said to have been thrown into the greatest consternation at the recent appointment of a number of lawyers in all parts of bngland, to register the heeds of married women. jfciyAboiit the coolest item we have ever met with, is that idea of Sam Slick's where he says "he felt a desire to lake off his flesh and sit in his bones, awhile, to cool himself."
