What hidden woe can lie so deep? What utter grief can last so long ? The Spring makes haste with step elate Tour life and beauty to renew; She even bids the roses wait, And gives her first t weet care to yon. The welcome redbreast folds bis wing To pour for yon his freshest strain; To you the earliest bluebirds sing, Till all your light stems thrill again. The sparrow trills his wedding song And trusts his tender brood to you; Fair flowering vines the summer long, With clasp and kiss your beauty woo. The sunshine drapes your limbs with light, The rain braids diamonds in your hair, The breeze makes love to you at night— Yet still you droop, and still despair. Beneath your'boughs, at fall of dew. By lovers’ lips is softly told The tale that all the ages through Has kept the world from growing old. But still, though April's buds unfold. Or Summer sets the earth aleaf. Or Autumn pranks your robes with gold, You syray and sigh in graceful grief. Mourn on forever, unconsoled. And keep your secret,, faithful tree I ‘No heart iu all the world can hold A sweeter grace than constancy. ESSAY ON EDUCATION , BY P. JEHU MALOKE. ( Concluded.) , m CAPS, and The universal right of suffrage has been the boast of Republicanism. Whether guar anteed by the Constitution or left to the ac tion of the State laws, it is a right of which our respectable citizens—and I use the word respectable in contradistinction io all mental qualifications—have never been sfyown. In saying that “the Constitution guaranteed the. elective franchise to all citizens.” I simply inferred that the Constitution was not inimi cal to the enjoyment of these rights indis criminately by all, whether they were in tellectually qualified for a judicious exercise .of the privilege or not; and as I was writing upon the subject of education, any construc tion placed upon my language looking for ward to the exclusive matter of politics is to tally irrelevant to the point under considera tion. I would also inform “Citizen” that my remarks have a retrospective reference. It has been premised in all ages that the end of moral endeavour is character. How ever foreign this may be to the received opinions of the present day, I state it as the summary results of the highest investigation, and challenge its controversion upon any reasonable ground. The idea that the ac-' cumulation of grei* wealth is wholly neces sary to the consummation of the best political measurer and expediencies is but a pitiable myth, to say the least. Have we not illus trations of the fallacy of such opinions in multitudinous instances? Look to Webster and McDuffie, our own illustrious statesmen; the great Napoleon “with no friend but his sword,” from whose glance competition fled, and the, tread of whose armies made the world tremble; and lastly the renowned Victo Hugo whose sarcastic pen awed France as much as the “magnificently stern array” of Wellington's serried hosts. Arc’ there not monuments of political greatness beyond the creations of money or its boasted influence ? I would be understood as de claiming spacifically against the current be lief in the omnipotence of wealth. The good advantages, politically and socially, accruing from a wise and just distribution of affiuentiol resources, arc too austensible to be overlooked by even the most cynical cas uists ; but it must be admitted that there is no instrument of power so liable to perver sion, none that will corrupt so readily. The bane of our country has been the par amount importance attached to the acquisi tion ol money and the circumscribed esti mate placed upon &ome good .system of gen eral education —a manifest want of apprecia tion of the benefits that would crown socie ty from a just spirit of liberality. What was the result ? Excess of tashion, and disgust ing pride; dissolution on the one hand and squalid mendicity on, the other, and I am not a little inaccurate if we have not more stu pendous results. Take the College life of the mass of the wealthy young men for example. They leave hodie with the reputation of both prestige and opulence—pass their halcyon days m sports—become connoisseurs in re dowa, schottisclie, polka, and mazurka— have no taste I'or the sentiments expressed in that trite old maxim: “ Gutta cavit lapideur non vi,” &c., because its intimates something about strenuous application; and hence, their career terminates in expulsion with all its attendant shame. Immediately “Indul gence” determines that they shall see the world, and thereupon their debut is made in Paris as tourists. They gaze with ghastly surprise upon the mostrosities everywhere presented to view in these places of popular resorts; see everything and understand no thing ; and returning, recour tthe sights they have seen and the sounds* tney have heard in a strain of grandiloquent egotism and bragadocia, expatiating with delectable non chalance upon their geneological precedence, until you would fancy that their lineage dates back lo the years beyond the flood. With bacchanal sneer and vulgar phraseology they —“around the comer”—cast siguifleaut hints about certain families “want of respectability because they are low bred” and ogling, and the extreme oi sensualism become their employ ment while the ineffable scorn of pride and decency is the estimation in which they are held. Ido not purpose aninadverting upon the many derelictions of duty manifest in the past history of our national life, or venting anathemas against those who endeavored to play a conspiciou9 partin the drama to the exclusion of all who could not so plausibly establish their claims to relationship with the illustrious paragons who had played be fore th6m. It is a truth patent to every one, and something that requires the promptest and most thorough remedial action. We must learn to estimate persons by their own intrinsic worth, rather than by the loud sound ings of wealth or hereditary prestige. Must PRICE. 5 CENTS be brought to consider that success in De cumary plans utoot the only tests of merit, nor failure the only sort of disgrace worth avoiding, if we would revolutionize sent order of things and rescue society from its anardneal state.

When we learn Jo call things by their right names to eschew arrogance, flippancy, and’ all K' r , m « 1^ 9 »n our intercourse, moving foi ward with unanimity and juatly temnered devotion, we may indeed hope to realize [he grandest results—the most important devel opments in the onward march of enlighten ment. \\ edo not want schools; but some ot our schools may indeed want patronage Schools that have turned out thousandslif men who haveforked their way far yond mediocrity. But how miny men ¥ e there on this continent that cannot read at all—how many even in our own State lam persuaded that the credulity of many would be put to the test, could they see an Jnnroxi mate estimate. And when we capitulate the advantages that will arise from £e adoptSn of measures looking forward to the con Sum mation ol these ends politically or otherwise we must be impressed with a deep sense of ol their importance and feel stirred by everv motive of patriotism or hope of future great ness to support and uphold this or some sim ilar plan whenever and wherever necessary A Horrible ft’ate-A 3J«n Bitten by « R at _ [ From the Duouque limes. One of the most horrible deaths possible for a man to meet, is awaiting Mr. Jacob Shuester, a farmer near Waupaton, in ■ this county, who was bitten by a rattlesnake last Saturday. Mr. Shuester was in a field mowing hay, when he came upon the snake and it attempted to draw away. He cut it in two with his sithe, and as it still gave signs of life, he severed it again within three inches of its head. It then seemed to be dead, and he stooped down to qxamine its mouth. He was approaching its mouth with his right baud, when the snake sprang and and fastened itself to his right thumb. He sprang to his feet, and, after several seconds, succeeded in loosening its hold and flinging it to the ground. The thumb pained him terribly, and he ran to the house. It immediately commenced swelling, and his agony in creased. Neighbors were sent for, who applied remedies of which they had heard. But they did no good, and in ten minutes Mr. Shues ter commenced vomiting blood. AH the remedies suggested by bis neighbors having failed, they ‘doctored’ him until late Sunday forenoon, when Dr. Staples, of this city, was sent for. He arrived at the house, a distance of twenty miles, Sunday evening. He fouad Shuester in a horrible state of body and mind. His right arm was swollen to four times its natural size, and was nearly black. This color had reached his breast, and was spread ing over his system. Below the elbow the poison had affected the arm so that its sur face was covered with large blisters, which were filled with blood. From one of these the doctor drew nearly a teacup full of blood. The palm of the sufferer’s hand, although calloused by labor, was puffed out like a sugar-loaf; and blood continually flowed from the wounded thumb. Hia breath was awfully offensive. Mr. Shuester retains all his senses. Before he was bitten he was a large well-built man, and possessed great strength. He is now haggard, as white as a sheet, and his eyes are ghastly. • Dr. S. administered powerful neutralizing medicines, and Mr. Shuester felt somewhat relieved almost immediately. The Doctor, stayed with him all night, and left him at 10 o’clock yesterday morning, with slight hppes of his recovery. When the Doctor left Mr. Shuester complained of a feeling which was then coming upon him for the first time—a sort of benumbing yet painfully tingling sen sation, which affected his whole body. He was alive yesterday morning—since that time we have not beard from him. Mr. Shuester is a well-to-do farmer, and u geuerally respected iu the community where he lives. He has a wife and two small chil dren, who are iu agony over his misfortune. ’ John Bright’s Oratory.— Mr. Bright is very attractive as an orator. When it is known that he is to speak the gal leries are insufficient to hold the multitude which gathers to hear him. His delivery is prompt and easy. He has none of that hesitation and apparent timidity which mark the address of many English orators; but neither, on the other hand, does he pos sess that rich and fascinating intonation which forces us to concede the forensic palm to Mr. Gladstone of all contemporary Eng lishmen. He expresses himself with bold ness, sometimes almost with rudeness. His declamation is fresh, vigorous, and almost al ways even. At times be is unable to pre serve the moderation of language and man ner which retains the mastery over impulse; his indignation carries him away; his de nunciation becomes overwhelming; his foil voice rings out, trembling with agitation, as he exposes some wrongful or defends some good measure ; then his vigorous nature ap pears, unadorned by cultivated graces, but admirable tor its manliness and strength- This impetuosity, which is so prominent a characteristic of his oratory, is in marked contrast with the manner of the late Mr. Cobden, his friend and co-operator. Mr. Cobden was always guarded, cautious, and studiously accurate in his language. Mr. Bright often says things m the excitement of controversy which exaggerate his real senti- ments, and which may be used to misrepre sent his opinions. Mr. Cobden, whose tem perament was more phlegmatic, was careful to avoid any undue heat of speech, and hence often passed, erroneously, for a more moder ate thinker than Mr. Bright.
