A RECOLLECTION.
This day five years I saw her die
The march ot'Deaih had warn’d me, but I did
Not take the token. Slow wasting sickness,
Because ’t\ves slow, was fullof hope. I watch’d,
1 pray’d, I trusted she would live again. '
Even when I took herin my arms, and she
Could scarcely whisper :——“ softly"--lier spirit
Resting on God, and her einaciate fraino,
Leaning on me--even then 1 was deceiv’d.
She told me she tnust die. And so did others.
In such a prospect we had talked and prayed.
Often at her requestl knceled beside
Her bed, when utt'raiice failed me—and I wept
And sobbed my prayer:
—-Preserve her life,O God _i
give some examples of what they regarded
as cruelty ; which was done promptly. and
in such a manner as evinced, most clear-
ly, the superiority of the mode ofinstruc-
tion which induces children to think, over
the old mechanical method, which was
best adapted to the education of apes and
parrots.
To ascertain how far they were in the
habit of observing objects around them, as
well as to interest them, and exercise their
powers of rt.-fleeting, comparing, judging,
die. they were asked by. the satire indi-
vidual about the various kinds of trees
which they had seen ; their resemblances
and differences, their fruits, flowers and
This day five years I stood beside her bed,
And saw and felt thepweat 0l'd8¢_1lh come 011- leaves, with some of the peculiarities of
3:198 Va;',:!h;d!£“‘:§$:l:_:gfi‘;::‘l:g’J‘l$;’g‘£3' _ each. Some of their answers were uncom-
Sh‘; ‘g';:Pe‘d___anfi an “,as,,,,,hed as dea,h_ .l&.wa monly excellent. On the whole, the visit
Deam, was, to me, very gratifying. I doubt if
1 bent me o'er her, pressed my lips to hers-
Her lips, which felt no press. Ne’er did I ask
That boon hefore—a. liiss—but she did quick
And lovingly reply. I called her nanie—-
She heard me not. And ne‘er since then has made
Me answer. Awa I turned me from that bed
Of death, and song t where I might weep alone.
And when againl saw her, she was dressed,
As many kind and tender hands had dressed
Her for the grave.
Iliad indulged fear. _ . i
To look upon her dead, lest it might mar
Her loving semblance, by recollections
Of‘ what death had made her. I even thought
To bury her without the sight. But thanks
To those, who kindly urged, and.woii me to
Her side, that I might see her ploasantness.
For she was pleasant, even in death. Serene,
Intelligent, and sweet was every look.
I thought-and so it still doth seem--slic smiled,‘
As if to say: “ 'Tis well, and well with me.”
I looked, and looked again to see a change.
But still that smiling countenance remained.
It stayed till she was cofliiied-till she was
Laid beyond my sight. And still I use it.
Dear brother, who didst pray with me that hour,
I thank thee. Thou didst come to comfort me,
And I was comforted. And on the day
Of burial, when friends and all who knew
Her worth did come to weep and weep with me ;--
And while the prayer went up unconsciously
I laid my head upon the coffin’s head,
Where hers was laid, all beautoous within.
And then it seemed companionship too dear,
Too intimate, too much akin to heaven,
To suffer interruption. It were strange
To think of such a scene. Yet so it was.
Ne’er have I seen an hour so blessed as that.
Could I again be comforted as then,
I'd seek it any where—even at the grave-
Tlie grave of her lloved. I have been there.
Ah! little didst thou think, dear sainted wife,
Vl/hat change would come to me, when thou wast
one.
As thoiigdidst challenge me, I made thy grave
Where the saute stone might marks sister's name»-
A sister, dear to thee. to me was_deai ;
W hose story thou didst tell me with such pity
limiting from thine eyes,tlioii often mad’st me weep.
The same stone marks ye both
Loving in life,ye are embraced in death.
An ah? whose ear will bend to me—wliose heart
will sympathize, when I rehearse the tale _
That forms thy latter end ‘I. Like the raft bird,
On some lone spot, bemoanrng its last mate-
So, I may tell my sorrows to the winds. .
Time was when thou didst grieve and joy with me.
Thy joy and grief were mine,and mine were thine.
O blessed remembrance of my better days.
Remembrance of days blessed,myselfhow blessed 1
That stroke ofheaven,wh. laid my dearoue low,
Sent me adrift upon the sea of life.
I am a wanderer now, without a home,
Far from that cherished spot, where rest her ashes.
The blessed privilege, the sweet enjoyment
Of weepin o'er her grave, comes not to me.
Tread soft y, all ye friends, that wander there.
I have no home, no fireside of my own-
No bosom where to rest my woaryhesd. ,
And case my cares, and tell my grief, or joy.
Ichinot meet that welcome look, nor see
That smile, nor hear that voice, which ever said
\Vhen Igreturned‘ :--°’W*hy did ypu stay up long? ”
This would I learn: -If we shall know in heaven
whom God had made our duty here to love ?
Theremay we meet where angel sympathies
And angel forms shall blot from meniory's scroll.
The husband and the wife, and we shall be
As angels. February 1, 1831.

AN IMPROVED Disrnicr SCHOOL.
M r.Editor,~—-I had the pleasure of spen-
rling an hour, the other day, in a district
school ofa superior character. It consist-
ed of several departments, each having its
teacher or teachers. The department
which I visited, consisted of about 100
boys, between the age of three, and tenor
twelve years ; under the superiniendcncy
oftwo female teachers.
Immediately after I entered, the classes
proceeded to the exercise of reading.-
Thcy did not, as is customary in many of
our schools, read half a dozen pages or
more of that which they could not under-
tand. What was read, consisted of siiii-
tle stories, which though not of" the best
character, were generally understood by
the pupils, and by those who were pre-
sent as spectators. Their lessons were
verv short, and rendered exceedingly in-
ierdsting by the questions, remarks, and
explanations of the instructor. In fact the
whole exercise was merely a familiar con-
versation between the instructors and their
pupils. There was very little yawning or
stretching; altnost every pupil attended to
his lesson, without constraint. Every
thing wore the appearance or order, and
happiness, and improvement, so far as the
efforts of the pupils and instructors were
concerned. I could not forbear a wish,
liowevor, that they wet"
e furnished with el-
evated and airy apartments, and more as-
sistant instructors. There was also a de-
ficiency in maps, pictures, apparatus, &c.
alihougli it is confessed they had a greater
supply of these than 99 hundredthsof our
‘ district schools; for they have nothing but
naked walls, with a few books andrules,
aiitl benches, and occasionally a whip and
jcriile.
Besides reading their exercises were
various. One useful employment was to
permit the studious scholars, at a certain
fime,io propose questions to the o~hers..
-a practice which highly delighted them.-—
A visitor who was present, with the per-
mission ofthe insiruciers,_aslt_t-.tl them ques-
tions on the definitions ofwords. Among
others, he asked them the defitiition of
the word cruelty, and requested them to
-l‘.
I:-_
‘t
there are many better coninioii schools in
the state ; I know of only one or two
which are better, and one of those is very
small. Could the whole number ofschools
in this state he raised, even to the charac-
ter ofthe one in question, it would be a
wonderful advance from our present lov
condition.

OLD Titirics.-—Soine forty years ago
three students froui Yale College walked to
a neighboring town to spend :lieSabbatli at
the parental mansion ofone ofthe nuuiber,
whose father was the respected clergyman
ofthe parish. In the morning, breakfast
being ready, the family were summoned to
prayers. Each had ti bible and read his
portion ofthe chapter, which being finish-
ed, the books were removed. The strati-
gers supposing the prayer was immediate-
ly to follow,wcre about puttiiigtliemsclves
in the proper attitude, when they noticed
that no one moved, but all appeared wait-
ing for something well understood. Di-
rectly the father repaired to the bcaufet
and taking thence a bottle, poured some
black liqtior into a small wine glass and
presented it to his wife, who drank, as did
the children in turn, until coming to one of
the strangers, he declined. " Will you not
drink?" said the old gentleman,-—“ per-
haps you tliiuk it singular, but we are in
the habit oftakiiig a little before prayers,
once a week, on Sunday morning ” The
stranger persisted in de.clining,:illeging that
lie was in no such liabit—-the liquor was
clear braridv. The son, then at member of
College, afterwards settled in one of the
principal towns ofMainc, where as a law-
yer he rose rapidly to respectability. But
iiitemperanceliad marked him for a victim,
and he died a sot.
From. the Journal of I’1l.l7n(l7ll'l‘_l/.
A CONTRAST.-—Al| aged man over
whom had rolled an hundred winters, died
not many years since in New England,
who was in the estimation of all who knew
him, pious.—-Bur he had early contracted
a fondness for ardent spirit, and drank
temperately and daily for the greater part
of his life. He gave a little to his chil-
dran as they grouped around him ; and
they thought what their father loved must
be innocent. But with their growing
years a fondness for stimulus increased;
and this aged man lived to mourn the death
of half his sons and forty descendants, who
went down to the grave drunkards. One
son yet lives, who was a professor of reli-
gion, but has been excommuiiicated,-and
is an exile and a drunkard, with a large
family, who are ruined by his sin.
Another aged man still lives in the vi-
ciriity of the same place, who numbers
nearly one hundred descendants, all of
whom are temperate persons. He never
was in the habit of drinking ardent spirit,
nor does he give it to his sons and his sons;
but like Jonadab, he drinks pure water.
What a contrast will the day of Judge-
ment disclose, if in one family interoper-
enco continues to roll down a fiery deluge,
and in the other temperance reigns, and
decends from generation to generation.
These two men were friends, and lived
it adjoining towns, and these facts I ascor-
tained a few days since on the spot ; and if
the facts are doubted, I can give the name
ofthe first, who was a mournful instance
of the danger of temperate drinking in o-
vcii a good man-
Tltc President and the Clterolcces.-—A para-
graph appeared some time since in a Georgia
paper stating that “ the Cherokee Delegation
waited on the President soon after the decision
of the Supreme Court. and wished to know if
he was angry wit/i. them." The late Cherokee
Phtciiix contains a spirited article from John,
Ridge. one of the Delegates, doiiyiiig indig-
ntititly the correctness of the statement.
' [Journal of Commerce.
Aware of the duty, says be, we owed to
the dignity of the Clterokce Nation and
our own individual reputation, the language
used by us in the conversation we had with
the President at our parting interview was
not of a character from which the Presi-
dent could deducejnferciices cfdesponding
humiliation in the minds of the Delegation
--we felt none, antl therefore could not ex-
hibit any—sooncr than ask the President
iflie was angry with me, 1 would cut my
tongue out of my moutlt—I could not im-
less the independence of my mind had been
metamorphosed to the mind of his palace
slaves.
The President did talk earnestly, with
an itplified hand, of his friendship to the
Cherokees and his disposition to do them
good -- and also mentioned that he had just
read the Richmond Enquirer, in that the
Choctaw and Chickasaw exploring party
had returned and were well satisfied with
the new country—-he had recommended
the Chickasaws tolcolt atit for themselves,
because he knew it was a good country. I
asked him, to what extent the U. S. tra-
ders were allowed to traflic among the
Clioctziws and Chickasaw.-. in thiit country,
[and whether their number was to be limit-
1
ed at the discretion of the U. S., or the
will of those tribes? He observed that
their number would be reduced at their op-
tion. “ I am glad to see you,” sai the
President, particularly at this time. I knew
or thought I knew that your claims before
the Supreme Court could not be supported.
The Court has sustained my views lye-
gard to your nation.” This convofsation
was on the noxttiiorning after the decision
of the Court, and as we had the only copy,
kindly furnished us by Mr. Peters, front
the original, extant, we were somewhat
surprised to hear liiiii say, that he had been
sustained by the Court,antl as the opinion,
as we understood it, acknowledged our
rights, and were in opposition to his poli-
tics. However, he went on-“ I blame
you for suffering your lawyers to fleece
you—-they want your money, dz. will make
you protnisos even after this, pcrliaps,that
they can make you safe. I have been a
lawyer myselflong Pll0llglI to know row
lawyers will talk to obtain their cfifis
money.” The Delegation here tihsc’pv.t:§d
in reply, “ as a statosiuan and it warrit ‘five
do not believe you would blame the Chet-
okces for the efforts they have made to
maintain their rights for liberty before the
proper tribunals, and if they have expend-
ed inoiieyin stippoft oftlieir national rights,
it was agreeable to their own inclination.”
“Oh no," he answered, don't mistake me,
[do not blame you, but I blame you for
suffering the lawyers to fleece you. I am
the friend of the Clieroltees, they fought
with me in the war and freely shed their
blood with the blood of uiy soldiers in de-
feuding the U. States, and how cotild I be
ollierwise than their friend.”
Muttniciil—A N Y. paper announces
that "Col. S. L. Knapp has fiiiislicd the
Life of Hon. Daniel Wt.-bster,"—if well
czacutul. the iiullifiars will rejoice. Dead
or alive, he has some time been turned to
Clay.
