THE HAPPY MATCH» .
“ Now,” said Henry Hempliill to his young
wife, when they went to housekeeping, “ it’s
my ‘uusiness to bring money in!“ lllf‘; l10U.58--
and yotirls to see that none goes l0QllSlll.Y 01!!
ofit.” This was the agreement with which
they set forward in the world. He chose her,
first, because he loved her, and in the second
place, because he knew she was sensible, eco-
m,,n'.c,,| and industrious-—_)tist the reasons
whit-,h influence a sensible man in his choice
now. And he thouglitil best that each should
have a distinct sphere of" action. Their iri-
terests were one and indivisible; consequently
each had the same motives to act well the al-
lotted part. His business called for hiswholr:
attention ; he wished therefore to pursue it
tirrdistracted by other cares ; for himself he
lO()l{l;‘.tl for happiness only at home ; there he
expected a supply for all his wants, and he was
of course not disposed to spend any thing a-
broarl, in pursuit of what liethough: every rea-
sonable man ought to look for in the bosom
of his own family. Her tlutics being all do-
rnr=.stir- slit-, was able to compass them the bet-
ter by turning her whole attention to their) —
Ber lrrr.s.trarid’s business doing habits ; his terti-
per':.r. .|llCl correct life, had all the power of
ex.z.r;p'r<- , increasing her esteem, and don
-ling lief anxiety to deserve his.
They married without waiting to get rich.
They neither distrusted providence nor each
other. lVitli little besides health and a dispo-
sition to improve it ; they irevertlieless had
that strong confidence offiual success which
prudent resolutions inspire in those who feel
that they have perseverance enough to adhere
to them. Thus they began the world.
To attach a man to his hotiie, it is necessa-
t‘,y tr...-.t home should have attractions. Harry
Heinpriill’s had. There he sought repose all
ter the toil and wcariness of the day; and
there he found in When perplexed, and low
spirited, he retired thillicr. and amid the-
soothing influence of its quiet and peaceful
shades, he forgot the heartles.-mess of the
world, and all the wrongs of men. When
fihings went ill with him, he fotiiid always a
“solace in the sunshine ofaffectioti, that in the
tloinestic circle beamed upon him and dispel-
led every clotitl from his brow. However oth-
ers treated lirrii—-tliere all was kindness, corr-
fidence and affection ; ifothers deceived hi. 2:
and hypocrisy with its shameless face, sniile.r.?
on lnni to delude, and injure him ; tlrt.-re, all
was sincerity ; that sincerity of the heart
'.’»’lll(:ll makes amends for sufferis-g and wins
the troubled spirit from niisantlrropy.
Nothing so directly tends to make a good
wife, a good liousekeeper, a good doruestrr: e-
c_ououri.»r, as that kindness on the part of the.
husband which sptarzlts the language ofapprr»
bation, and that careful and well directed ur-
dustry which tnrives and gives strong promise '
that her care and prudence will have a profit-
able issue. And Mary Heuipliill had this to-
lien and this assurance.
Harry devoted liimself to business with
steady purpose and untiring zeal ; he obtain-
ed credit by his plain and honest dealing; ens
tour by his faithful punctuality and constant
care: friends by his obliging department, and
accommodating disposition. He gained the
reputation of being the bust workman in thr-
village; none were ever deceived who trusted
to his word. He always drove his business a
little before hand, for, he said, “ llllll;1_S go
badly when the cart gets before the liorst.=..”—~
I noticed once a little incident which illustra-
ted his character-—a tlirifty old farmer was
accosted in the road at theend ofthe village
by a yoiiiigstey who was making a great dash
in busiuess,and who wanted to loan a few
hundred dollars. The wily old man, was per
fectly ignorant of where it could be had, and
sidled off from him as soon as lrr- could. He
rode directly down to Hemphill’s, and told
him he had a few hundred dollars to loau,arrd
wished he would take it ; the payments
should be easy, just as would suit. Indeed,
replied Harry, yoti have come to a bad mar-
ket; Ihave a little cash to spare tiiyself. and
have been looking round these two weeks for
a good opportunity of putting it out.
While Harry was prospering,in his business
all went like clock work at home ; the faniily
expenditures were carefully made, not a far-
thing was wasted, not a scrap lost; the furni-
ture was all neat and useful, rather than orna-
mental, the table plain, frugal,but wholesome,
and well spread, little went either to the seam-
stress or the tailor, no extravagance in dress,
no costly corrrpariy keeping, no useless waste
of time in ceaseless visiting, and yet the whole
neighborhood praised Mary f-leiiiphill, and lo
ved her,she was kind without dissipation.-
And while few people lived more coiuforta-
lily, none lived more economical.
The results ofsucli management can never
disappoint the expectations to which it looks.
Even the angry frown of misfortune is almost
put at defiance. A vantage ground is_soon
gained which the storm seldom reaches. And
the full reward comes in its proper time to
crown the meed of lives, thus spent.
The music of Harry’s tools was in full play
on the morning that I left the village for a dis-
tant residence- It was not yet sunrise. And
as the coach bore tnerapidly past the cool and
quiet residence of the villager, I saw the door
wris open, and the breakfast smoking on the
table. Mary in her neat morning dress and
white apron, blooming in health and loveli-
mess, was busy amid her household affairs ;-
and a stranger who chanced to be my fellow
passrirger to the city, observed it, and said-
"' there is a thriving family, my word for it.”
Anti he spoke well, There are certain signs
always perceptible about those who are work-
ing things right that cannot be mistaken by
the most casual observer.
(in my returiito Alesbury, many years at
terwards, I noticed a beautiful country resi-
dence on the banks ofthe river, surrounded
by all the elegance of wealth and taste. Richly
cultivated fields stretched theiiiselves out on
every side as far as the eye could reach ;—
flocks and herds were scattered in every direc-
tion. It was a splendid scene-—the sun was
just setting behind the western liil|s—and
wlrile a group of neatly dressed children spor-
ted on the adjacent school house green, the
mellow notes of the flute mingled with
their noisy mirth. “ There,” said an old
friend, “lives Harry Hemphill; that is his
fzrrr-.r-—-those are his cattle--liere is his school
tioust-.,and these his own, and some orphan
children ofhis adoption, which he educates at
his own EXpt‘|iS(’.—-llavlllg made a noble for-
time by his industry and prudence, he spends
his large income ip deeds of cl1arity...-aiid- he _
"a Republican. and a Christian.
and Mary mutually give each other the credit
of d-‘-ing all this.”
My heart expanded then--it expands still,
wlienl think ofthem—-—and I pen their simple
history in the hope, that as it is entirely imi-
table, some who read it will attempt to imi-
late it. v

REPORT
Of the Committee on Common Schools, to the
Gcnerdl .Hsscinbl_t/ Qflhe Stale of Camisole-
cul, May, I826.
The committee appointed upon the resulti-
tiori “ to inquire whether any, and if:iiiy,what
alterations in the laws relating to Common
Schools are necessary to raise their character
and increase their usefulnes,” respcctftilly Re-
port—-Tliat they deem the subject which they
were called to investigate, to be one of vital
importance to the State. The intellectual and
moral culture of every member of the com
inunity, was the basis on which the founders
of our happy institutions, reared the whole
structure of civil society. ° In favour of this
fundamental principle of free government,
they bore ii tesllmtiny so noble, as to com-
mand the admiration ofall wise men,to whom
their history is known; and to vindicate to
tlretnselves the high renown of “benefactors
to the human race.” A like interest was felt
by their iiiiinetliate descendants in the gener-
al tlrfl'u.sion of ltnoivlerlgt-, and the system of
common schools continued to be an object of
peculiar care to the State, and went on im
proving,until the public resources enabled the
Legislature to grant it the late inuuificeiit en-
dowment. .
Placed on a footing so elevated, and justly
preferred to every other interest, it was not
urrri-asonably supposed that the results of the
system uoultl COI‘t'l.“‘}')Ol)(l with its means, and
that these institutions would mairrtain their
atrknott-lodged pre-erriiiirencc overthe prirnary
s .l1t)t)lS of ot‘:rcr states; at least that they
uotild not fail to keep pace with the pt'0_.<!,t'ess
of ecneral iuiprovetiicnt in our own. Facts
crutipel your Coflliilllltrl,‘ to s;-fr’, that in their
r‘»;i§rrlr)it they have done neither. Tho States
rrfN+-.w York and L‘-Lissacliiisetts begin alrcatl}/,
in clizrllerigr-. ll superiority for their common
schools, altliotiglr it is brrt a few years since
they looked l0 Connecticut for l.llt:'ll' models,
and soriglit the aid of hr-r wisdom. The Acad-
einres of this state have never been cheered
with a solitary git-arn oflegislntivc bounty,and
:;t-Nit to be wlrolly ex:-lruletl from the pale of
Legislative syrripatlritas; yet many of them
liar.» florir'i~lierl The University of this cit)’
lr-rs rrst-ii cl:r::fly by its own energies, and ur-
,-_1e(l its way to einiiience with little aid from
lll" state which it exalts and adorns. Yet coni-
rntnr schools, on wlncli. as on a favorite child,
the public resources have been lavished with
great liherality, but with. little care, have been
gradually declining in tlieir relative standing.
The msiilt of the experiruent has decided that
no appropriations of money will secure the
iricreasizrg prosperity of Schools. 'I‘he_v light-
en the burdens ofllie people, but they also iti-
minisli. and for that reason perhaps, their iii-
terest in these institutions. While your com-
rniitee are rt~ltrctant to believe, with many of
tire most enlightened men with whom they
have corresponded in relation to the sribjrrct,
that the comrrioii schools are in no better (‘Ull-
-lition than they would have been had they
received no aid frotri the state, they are con-
firmed in the opinion that they have fallen far
shortoftlrat excellence which they might have
attained.
In connection with the comparative tlepres
start of commrrn Schools, ll should be stated.
that there is an iricrcasrng irrrlill'er'encc on the
part of the people, to the interests of these in-
stitutions .:"o \Vlt.’:lt'.‘.\'€l’ causes this apathy is
to be attributed, it is a fact of tremendous inr-
port, anti tle.:.onstr-rtes that :.iis interest can.
not be exclusively errtrrrsted to the people
without injury to the state.
The p:rrts ofthe system which require more
immediate attention, are the books used, thr-
qualifit-ations of teachers, and tin: ltlSp6t‘.llOl‘i
and report ofthc state of the Schools.
A reform in that part ofthc system relating
It) hooks, while it would promote economy,
seems indispensable to the success of the
Schools. The continual fluctnation in the
use of books with which the schools are inun-
datetl,sribjccts the parents to a heavy expense.
and prevents that uniformity without which
Llirgre can be no classification-—:r principle
highly conducive to success in every grade of
instruction. The selections are, not unfit-.-
quently, made with littlejudgrnent,aiid in:rii_t
books are used fit only It) corrupt the taste or
the morals ofyouth. The important business
of preparing elementary books, has been left,
too much, to uirskillul lrands—to men who
have betrayed at every step, their utter ignor
ance of the first principles of the pliilomphy
of the Mind, :1 scieirce to which the frigirer
departments of education are greatly indebt-
ed, but whose aid has been little sought after
rnthe lower, whereit is most needed. This
lS an evil which the L;-rgislaturc, and the Le-
gislature only cati remedy.
Our clerirentary books should possess :1
more national character. The elements of
our history, of our civil and political institu-
ll0llS, and ofour religion,should be engraveu
on the memory of every child, and its earliest
associations should be those of air American,
In this way,
may the men offuture generations be trained
for the responsibility which awaits them, and
become the safe dcpositoriesoftlie rich inher-
itance which we now enjoy.
As it respectstlie qualifications ofteachers,
a matter of vital iinportarrce to the improve-
ment of schools, the law has made no requisi-
tions, but has left the subject entirely to the
direction oftlie School Visiters. Your com.
are ofopinion that something would be gain-
ed by specifying the requisite qualifications,
assutning for a standaitl such as are already
possessed, with a distinct iiitiiiiation that it is
the policy ofthc State, gradually to raise this
standard. It is believed, that the cotirse of
instruction may be considerably extended
without interfering with the branches alrcau'y
tat.tght—-that the elements of Geography and
History might advantageously precede the
more difficult branches of English Grammar
and Arithmetic, and the principles of Menstr-
ration, with some oftheir more practical ap.
plications, while they encroach not on the ru-
diments oflearning, would serve to diversify
the intellectual pursuits oftlie young, and fit
them for more extensive usefulness.
The project ofa seminary for the training
oftr’-acliei's, a favorite tnr-rasuve with some of
the truest enlightened men of the neigliboriiigl
I
Stat-es‘, liowever miicii it may plomise, is‘
deemed by the committee to be atpresent im
practicable.
The condition ofeveryscliool,:is it regards the
books used,the ntiinber of pupils. the branches
taught, the -time the school lias been continu-
ed, the expenclitines, with similar l'acts,.<hould
be presented annually to the Legislature antl
to the public. This would have the twofold
effect of obtaining that information which
would enlighten the path of legislation in fu-
ture, and ofopcrating as a powerful stimulus
to the career ofimprovemcnt. A knowledge
ofthe fact,tbat the eye ofthc State is watch-
ing their movements, antl that their actual
and comparative standing is to be known
to the public, can hardly fail to increase the
fidelity of teachers, the industry ofptipils, and
the zeal of parents.
The inefiiciency oftbe system, has, in thr-
opinion of your committee, arisen chiefly
from the neglect ofsupervisiori on the part. of
the State. No measures have been taken to
ascertain the actual conditioti ofthe common
schools. Their internal l‘llrlIla,f]_f‘ll'l8llt. their
character and prospects, have not sufficiently
engaged the attention ofthe Legislatrire.
With a view to invigorate and itnprovc the
system, the courmittee recommend the ap-
pointment of a superintentlenflt of common
schools, whose duty it shall be to recommend
suitable books to the adoption of School Vis-
itcrs and such modes of instruction and go-
vernment a- he may deem most expedient ;—
arirl froui the reports of the several School
Societies, to prepare and present to the Le-
gislature, annually, it report, so far as he may
obtain information, showing the actual condi-
tion of every school in the State, together with
His proceedings for the year.
The committee further recomnicnd that the
duties of the superintendent of coinriion
schools be tliscliargcd by the Sec’ry of State
for the time being.
Such are the views which the comm. have
deliberately formed on the subject submitted
to their iuvostigatiori. The olraiiges propos-
ed, if adopted, will not in the least ‘impair the
powers grzrutetl to School Societies or School
Visiters. They are designed to correct a part
only of existing evils, leaving it to others to
provide a remedy for the evils which rernziin.
The fact that on these instituttous,thi-. great
hotly ofthc people nitist ever dcpcntl, exclu-
srvely, for the means of etltltullrill, invests
them with a paramount importance, and es-
tablishes’ their claim to the peculiar and iii-
creasing regard of the Legislature- Of the
206 members who compose this liouourable
body, inorethan 130 are indebted for their
education, entirely or chiefly, to common
schools. Such men it is confidently believed,
while they are laudably eiiiployctl in embel-
lisliiug the structure of civil society, antl in gi-
ving it a fair ezttcrior, will not suffer its foun-
dations to go to decay. All wliich, with the
accompanying bill for a public act, is respect-
fully srrhmiuerl.

VALOR AND MAGNANl\ll’f'Y.
In 1702, Peter the Great having made sev-
eral ineffectual attempts on Noreliiirg, ,1 Swe-
dish fortress. now called Schlrisselbur-gh, sent
Prior-e Galitzen, colonel ofthc guartls, at the
head of a select corps to take it by storm.-—
Tliat officer having by tiieaiis ofrafts, landed
his soldiers close to the fortifications, which
advanced almost to the etlge of the water,
they were received with such cool intrepidity
by the garrison, and exposed to such a drt-.rd-
ful carriage, that Peter conceiving the assault
‘.0 be inipraclicable,scrit immediate orders for
the Russians to retire. Prince Gzilitzr:-zr
however refused to obey-——Tell my sovereign,
said he, that I am no longer his subject, hav-
irig thrown myself under the protection of a
power superior to liirri. Then turning to his
troops, he animated them by his voice and
exarnple, and leading them to the attircli, sca-
led the 0-.rlls and took the fortress. Peter
was so struck with the exploit, that upon his
next interview with Galitzen, he said to him,
“ Ask what you will, except Moscow and
Catliaririe.” The Prince with a magnanim
ity which refiects the highest honour upon his
his ancient rival, Prince Repin, who had been
degraded by Peter, from the rank of marshal
to that of a coinrnou soldier. He obtained
his request, and with it. the confidence ofhis
sovereign, the prince Repin, and the applause
of the public. Few circumstances cati give
rrtorc pleasure to a generous iniud, than the
coriternplation of such exalted traits ofa great
and noble spirit.
r\,lr. Estwick Evans, who went frotn this
country to the rescue of Greece, and came
back in the course ofa few riiontlis re-irifectd,
is publishing in a New Hampshire paper his
reasons for returning without having done any
thing towards the object which he undertook.
He has already reached a 6th nrtiiiber ; and
in that we find it stated, as matter ofinforma-
tiori, that the Greeks resemble exactly, in ap-
pearance, character, modes of dress and of
warfare, fondness for ornament, 8Lc. &zc.—-

gives it as his opinion, that they are of the
same race, and that Cecrops and some early
Powhatan were employed about the same
time in planting Greek Colonies.—-As a proof
ofthis identity of race, Mr. Evans adds, that
tiic Belvidere Apollo is just like an Indian .’
