Ipt'endiug sacred and salutary influences throughout 1 le - whole community. I have known some teachers singular- ly deficient in this essential characteristic of a good in~ structor. Instead of rejoicing in the hopes and expecta- tions which attach by eminence to their ministry, you see plainly enough they altogether distrust. The seed does not spring up immediately, and they at once con- clude that it is all choked by the thorns. Because another and distinct agency is employed by God to gather in the harvest, from that which is employed to, laugh and to sow, they attach eflicienfll 0le ‘0 the litttergand forget the promise that “ he who sOwcth Ind they who reap shall one day rejoice together.” Now this temper of mind is as unphilosophic as It. is unscriptu- nl, Reflect, I ray you, on the peculiar foetlllles 'which are afl'order by your particular position, not only for doing good, but for doing it most extensively! Is it no advantage to turn up the yet unbroken sail, and to sow the first seeds? Is it nothing, to hold in your hand a chain of communication, linking younmind. not merely with a hundred other minds, but With all the minds that through all time shall ever be influenced by those who received their earliest impressions from you T In it no special honour to be the servant of the feeblost, the most inexperienced and the most helpless l—to stand at the portico, as it were, of the temple of God. keeping the house, and guarding it from pollution ’I And is all this arrangement of Providence subservtent to no end? Is it productive of no good result? lfyou have brought yourself to believe this, depend upon it, my friend, the error has more to do with the heart than with the head. There is but one radical cure for this 'distemper of the mind, and that is, calm and prayerful meditation on the word, the ways, and the promises of God. Bring your weariness and distrust “ to the light,” Ind it cannot fail " to be reproved." So long as It is cherished and indulged. it is impossible that you can be happy in your work. Subordinate, indeed, to these essential elements of happiness, yet still materially affecting the degree of comfort which ateaclier will enjoy in his school, are two other qualifications, which may just be hinted at. The first is, the ABILITY 't~u INTEREST children; not only I) make them happy, but happy in the performance If My .'

Act in this spirit, and you will lose nothing by renouncing all claim to infallibility.

One other observation will conclude this letter. No man can be happy as a teacher who is not prepared to devote all his pm: to the performance of its duties. Fellenberg does not ask too much, in demanding for this office “ a vigilance that never sleeps, a perseverance that never tires." Nothing short of this will suffice. How strange then is the delusion ofthose who rush t0< wards it, as the elysium of indolencel That such should be unhappy in the employment, is a source of gratification rather than of regret.

this point: the answer presented itself; and we Will tell

mir countrymen, that it is the persevering habits of the English, it is the labour and skill of that people, that IS the cause of attraction. They are never satisfied will any one thing unless it is brought to perfection, it does not matter at what sacrifice. They are ever ready to receive improvements: and thus they have attained the celebrity in their manufactures, that countries which grow materials bring them here to be converted into useful things, which are distributed all over the world; and while other countries were satisfied with what they had, England was. eager to augment br-r resources. And how has she effected this? Why, the knowledge of science prit in practice. because knowledge is power; and it is by the power of knowledge alone, and not by the power of arms, that she has so many means of attracting the world to her, and extending the spread of her manufactures. " “ " ‘I‘ When we came within about five miles Of London, we were surprised at the amazing number of vessels, from the humble barge to the beautiful ships and steamers of all descriptions. The Colliers were the most numerous; and vessels were anchored close to each other, and the river seemed to be almost covered with vessels; and the masts and vards give it the appearance of a forest at a distance Indeed. there were to be found ships from all parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and America; and a great number of steamers ply about in all directions, filled with passengers.

None of our countrymen can form any idea of this noble river and the shipping: on it. The English may well be proud of it, though a small stream compared to some of the largest rivers of the world. ' ‘l ‘ It was. nearly dusk when we arrived at London Bridge: notwithstanding which an immense number of persons flocked round us to view our costume; for, in addition to our two selves, we were accompanied by a friend, and also by two of our domestics, and five individuals in the Parsee costume collected quite a mob, and through which it was difficult to pass to our carriage; we think quite a thousand persons ivere congregated together.

And from the immense number of people and vehicles that we saw hurrying along, ap- parently in great haste. and from the increasing noise, we. were apprehensive that some public commotion had taken place, or that there was some lgrand spectacle to be witnessed, towards which they were thus hastening. But yet it appeared so odd that there was as much haste and desire to get forward in those who moved eastward as well as in those who were progressing westward. Every streetdown which we looked appeared to be pour- ing out countless multitudes to swell the throng. And we were lost in conjecture as to what this bustle could possibly mean. But when we were afterwards informed that this constant tide of human beings was to be wit- nessed every day for twelve or fourteen hours, we were indeed lost in amazement at the myriads that must exist in London to furnish out of doors such an exhibition of

people .

As Inrruan’s Anvrcc—A writer in the chslern 0b- servcr, Bishop M’Ilvaine, we presume, relates the follow- ing remarkable anecdote :—‘,‘I have recently been in conversation with a gentleman who personally knew the noted Tom Paine, front whom I have learned some par- ticulars which it may be useful to repeat. This gentle- man stnles, that, when a young man, he was drivina his father’s waggon from Sing Sing to a place in Westcches- ter County, N. Y. , when Paine, travelling the same way

requested to be taken in. The young man consentinr: they rode about twenty miles together. The fame anhd talk about Paine‘s Age of Reason had made a sceptical impression on the mind ofthe youth, and finding him- selfin the presence Ofits author, be gladly availed bim- selfof'tbe opportunity to learn more ofthat sort ofreason. [n the conversation, Paine positively asserted that he belived the Scriptures to be the word ofGOd, and most seriously charged his auditor not to read his book or if he did, not to suffer it to have any influence on hi’s mifld

He said it ditl‘rrothntain the truth; that he wrote it at first without the intention of publishing, merely to see what he could do; that be deeply regretted its publica- iron, and would give anything bad he never written it

Such was the serious earnestness of Paine in these re; marks, and so conclusively did be reason aaainst the principles of his Age ochason, that he entirzly remov- ed all sceptical impressions from the mind of the youno man, (the present informant,) so that the latter has eve: Since retained a grateful recollection ofthe camel-gallop
