UNION SCHOOL.
Mn Rr:r:o—The arguments of Citiz-3n,as I
have shown, would forbid not only a union
school but every thing like an academy or high
school; for no matter to which the best scholar
goes when he is once withdrawn from the'com-
mon school.
Would Citizen then, forbid any provision
being made for instructing any part of our
young Citizens in any thing beyond the most
common rudiments of learning? Not ifI un-
dersiatid him right. He would have our more
advanced scholars conducted onward through
the higher branches ofa good English Education,
but he would have it done in our common schools.
He says “ VVhen a teacher has had scholars
under his tuition till he has got them fairly
started in their studies-—when it is a pleasure
rather than a task to instruct them. if they are
removed and placed under the instruction ofan-
oiher, it will have a tendency to dampen his
ardor and destroy in agreat measure hisinieresi
in the school." If I understand hitn arighi‘
Citizen would have the teacher in the cornmou
school, who has his pupil “ fairly started"—-
take that ‘pupil on in such branches as Book-
keeping, Surveying. Geometry, Natural or
Mental or Moral Philosophy, Navigation, As-
tronomy and the like. He would have the
common school teacher do this, or he would not
have itdone at all ; i. e. he would by no means
have the scholar withdrawn from the common
7 school.

second place. he ciirtails from the time due the

attempt is an untold injury to the school. How
much better economy would it be, instead of
having each teacher and each school stiffer this
loss and waste,just to take the scholars from all

The Young Bu.tcher.—1n one of the mar-
kets in this city was a young butcher who
by his industry and energy had established
for himself an excellent reputation, and hail
acquired some property. He had also .a
lovely wife, and two small children. His
business tvent well; he was respected and
l)t.'lOV€d and happy. ' He had arrived at such
a point in his aflairs that he-begun to feel
that he might relax himself occ-tisionally
from so severe’ an application to business.——
He thegglofe indulged himself more in so-
ciabilit-y with his acquaintance, drank with
thein, and smoked cigars. Before he was
aware of being in danger, the prosperous 6;
httppy young butcher hail became a drunk-
ard. ‘The happiness of his family was" soon
turned into sorrow, and in his business one
disaster followed another until he was out of
business,out of money, out of credit, and of
evei'_v thing which an, honorable man could
desire. In a few months he wasa filthy,
worthless loafer. The remonstrzinces of his
friends had been of no avail-down he would
go, to the bottom of infamy. V\’hen hc was
fairly at the bottprn, anofher butcher who
had witnessed with much regret the ruin of
his young friend. thought there was hopes,
even from the despcrateness of the case.—
With it feeling of brotherly kindness which
distinguishes‘ many of that occupation, he
collected together a ,:,-ubst-.ription of $50, to
be offereil as a capital to the fallen man on
condition he would reform. He then spoke
to the young man, and with encouragement
roused him it little lrom his stupidity, took
him into his own house until he had be-
come sober, and then invited him to the
Washington Temperance meeting. where
after understanding the matter fully, the
young man signed the pledge, and abjured
intoxicating drinks forever. With the 850
he bought a stall and recominenced his busi-
ness, which he follows with all his former
energy. Prosperity is with him, and all is
well again. His family are lifted from pov-
to pray that the blessings of I-It-avcn may
rest on the man who l'F.'Sl.0l't’(l the young
