A Holy Place to (he Hearth Stone.
BY e. I). STUART.
A holy place is the Hearth-stone,
Where loved ones are gathered 'round.
Where mothers, sires, and sisteis dear.
And brothers and fiiends are found ;
A holy place is the Hearth-stone —
Home’s innermost shrine is there—
Laden with blessed benizon.
And hallowed by loving prayer.
A holy place is the Hearth-stone,
What clustering joys abide,
Whpre the cradle of our infancy
Whs rocked by a mother's side ;
A holy place is the Hearth-stone,
Where Childhood's pattering feet
Go glancing in shade and sunshine,
To the music of Pleasure’s beat.
A holy place is the Hearth-stone,
Where the Youth have wooed and won.
And wed aud gone to the battle
Of life, with full armor on,
A holy place is the lieartli-stone
Where Manhood has settled down
With blessings blossoming 'round him.
And love tor a priceless crown.
A holy place is the Hearth stone,
Whence the old and the young have gone
To rest from their weary labor.
When the battle of Life was done :
And oh, from the holy Hearth-stone,
When parted from those we love,
Slav we go to meet by the Hearth-stone
Of "Our Father's” house above.

Mr. Editor: Having long had much
to do with both the health and education
of (he young, I have thought a few short
articles upon such a subject might be use
ful to the readers of your paper. They
will be furnished, as opportunity offers,
from engagements in practical teaching,
and others connected with health in the
School and Sanatorium under my super
vision.
The grand defect of our system of edu
cation is in over stimulating, or overstrain
ing the mind to the injury of the body.
I would have not only tlie first seven, but
the first ten years of the child devoted
chiefly to cultivating and strengthening
the organs of the body. This is but tlie
prompting of nature. It is the principle
upon which all builders act. They lay
the foundation first. “The house we live
in” is the body.
This premature development of the
mind, and neglect of the body, have long
been prominent evils in our educational
system. Some years ago, “infant schools”
were in vogue. Little children were
taught reading, arithmatic. grammer,
Latin and Greek ; and we were soon to
have learned men and women, almost
from the cradle. Many looked on and
wondered “whereunto this thing would
grow,” and what kind of men and women
these precocious children would make.
But they were soon relieved of this anxi
ety : for it was found that such children
rarely lived to become men or women ; or
it they did, they dwindled down into
mere commonplace persons, mere intel
lectual pigmies, verifying the old adage,
“soon ripe, soon rotten.” If the body did
not die, it was so enfeebled as to be use
less, or worse, and the mind deranged or
idiotic.
It is often very pleasing to the fond pa-
routs to eoo bow bright, intelligent and
witty their child is ; and. not unlYequent-
ly, they find great satisfaction in showing
to others the brilliancy and mental sprigbt-
lincss or their precocious darling. Such
parents know not what they are doing.
All tlie praise lavished by such parental
folly, and fond aunts, doating grand-pa
rents, and injudicious friends, tends to the
serious injury and almost certain destruc
tion of these children.
Their keen flashes and sparkling witti-
cisim are but the precursors of an over-
stetched mind and a neglected body.—
Every parent who thus rears his child, in
stead of preparing him to be the comfort
and solace ot his declining years, is fitting
him to bring down his gray ‘hairs with sor
row to the grave.’
I knew a child, naturally frail, the eld
est son ol a New England clergyman,
bright and intelligent, the idol of his fond
parents, and doating friends, whose mind
was altogether too active for the body ; or
in the beautiful language put into the
mouth of tlie “old Dutchman,” in the
“Temperance Tales,” when the “sword
was too sharp for de scabbard.” At the
age of seven years he could read Latin,
Greek, aud the Hebrew alphabet.
At the age of eight years, nervous
spasms commenced, and constantly in
creased, till, as the body became xveaker,
more food being taken than could be prop
erly digested, at ten, he died of epilepsy.
This is but the history of multitudes.
They are indulged, neglected in physi
cal, and stimulated in mental education,
till the nervous system breaks down, and
an early grave or a diseased body and an
idiotic mind become the final result.—
Many are thus destroyed every year by
our system of education, which all begins
at the wrong end. Then use this course,
and train the body first, and there will be
but little danger of too much study.
This neglect of the physical and stimu
lating of the mental man, is the more to be
deplored, from the fact, that this early
precocity is wholly unnecessary ; because,
many of the best educated and useful men
the world has ever seen, were very dull
pupils in their childhood. Andrew' Fuller,
8ir Walter Scott, and Daniel Webster,
were all very dull scholars in their child
hood , and yet, who has ever done more
in theological discussion than the former l
or who, in the whole world of fiction than
the second ? or who, at the bar and in the
Senate, than the latter—well called the
“Defender of the Constitution V’ Many
such men there have been. They have
lived and wrote, and labored, and blessed
the world, after hot-house plants of pre
cocious intellects have long been dead and
forgotten ! What a lesson to all parents
and teachers, who wish to raise up a gen
eration of intellectual giants nnd corporeal
dwarfs !
We have seen “the only son. of his
mother, and she a widow,” toil on with
decreasing mind, through llie Academy,
College and Seminary, and sink into an
untimely grave, just as he was prepared to
enter upon the duties of a learued profes
sion. Affection had labored, a fond moth
er and doating sisters had spent days of
toil and nights of care to aid hint in his
noble cause; but all in vain. He died, at the
hour of victory, a martyr to bodily neglect
and mental pressure. He dug liis own
grave, inadvertently, thoughtlessly, unin
tentionally, but really. A little good in
struction heeded, would have saved him
to comfort and solace friends aud bless the
world. W’ho has not lamented the pre
mature death of Henry Kirk White.—
Byron has the following touching lines up
on the death of this young genius :
Oh ! what m noble heart was here undone!
When science self-destroyed her favorite son !
Yea, she too much indulged the fond pursuit;
Let all the friends of education, pa
rents, teachers, physicians, clergymen.
Boards of Education, guard this whirlpool
in which so many bright geniuses have
been engulphed. Better lie in early child
hood, yes, during the first ten years of
life, intellectnal blockheads, than hastened
to such premature deaths.—PI,da. Stand
ard.
Give him a Trade.
The advice of Franklin, tn give every
child a trade by which he can earn a liv
ing, if necessary, comes of a human expe
rience older than the sage of ottr Revolu
tion. In some countries this has been the
law ; in others, a common custom. St.
Paul, though educated in the law, at the
feet of Gamaliel, also acquired the im
portant orieutal handicraft of a tent-maker,
by which he was able to earn his living
while prosecuting his mission.
It is a good and a wise thing to do.—
You may be able to leave your children
fortunes ; but “riches take to themselves
wings.” You may give to them finished
educations, and they may be gifted with
extraordinary genius ; but they maybe
placed in situations where no education
and no talent may be so available as some
humble, honest trade, by which they can
get their living and be useful to others.
It need not take seven years. Several
months of earnest work are, in some cases,
sufficient to learn an ordinary business.
If every young person, male and femak*.
were obliged, in the intervals of study,
proparatorj' or professional, to learn farm
ing, gardening, shoemaking, tailoring,
blacksmithing ; or, if ladies, millinery or
dress-making, or one of twenty kinds of
work or business, it w'ould always give
them a feeling of security and independ
ence. It is well for every one to have
something to fall back upon. We do not
know what revolutions may come in our
time. Y\ e do not know what misfortunes
may come to us individually. There is
no harm in being able to take care of our
selves in any possible emergency.

Additional Incidents—llie Glorious Affair
of Fort Snmter.
That “Slaughter Pen.”—A gallant of
ficer who was prominently concerned in
the Floating Battery from its first design
to its glorious use and trial reports:
“The first shell which was sent from the
mortar battery at Fort Johnson into Fort
Sumter, on bursting, gave, for a few se
conds with its smoke, a well marked rep
resentation of the Palmetto.
“On Friday morning as I stood on our
far famed battery, a friend remarked, as
the bombshells flew through the air and
bursted in and over Sumter, Maj- Andrson
is having presented to him hot rolls for
breakfast.”
-1 Narrow Escape,—We learn from re
liable authority, that Arthur 1‘. Lining, a
member of the Palmetto Guard, stationed
at the Iron Battery, narrowly escaped
death from Maj. Anderson’s first gun up
on that point. He was upon the parapet,
about planting the Palmetto Hag, when
tlie first ball from Sumter passed within
three feet of him, upon which he (still re
taining his position on the parapet,) waved
the Hag aloft, as if in defiance of Sumter,
amid the cheers of his comrades, and re
tired behind the battery.
A Lady in the Fort.—Mr. and Mrs. II.
B. Bonetheau enjoyed the honor of being
the first civilians to enter into Foit Sum
ter. On Sunday morning they accompan
ied Miss Davis, who has been for some time
a guest in their family, to the battered for
tress. They were courteously received
by Lieut. Davis, brother of the young
lady, under their charge, and conducted
over the fortification. Miss Davis was
The rapid and persevering attentions of
our batteries, however, on the face of Sum
ter, which this Columbiad prevented ns
makiug much use of it, as was expected—
and it may be that the powder was not the
required proof.
As an interesting “incident” of this Co
lumbiad, or memorandum table—a kind
of gunner’s Guide and Companion, was
found in the interior ruins of Fort Sumter,
by Lieut. W. S Breuster, of the Palmetto
Guard. On the back, this Guide is mark
ed with ink on the wood, “ten inch Colum
biad—with that charge twelve pounds,
elevation four degrees. Charge eighteen
pounds, elevation 3.45. On the right of
this is ?he abridged memorandum “Ivon
Bat. r I bus showing this guide or refer
cnce table was designed for special atten
tion to tlie Iron Battery, and the use of
the big Columbiad iu case of tlie absence
or removal of the expert gunner or officer.
Outlie other side of this wooden guide
has been pasted a table for more elaborate
reference. The heading is “ten inch Co
lumbiad,” and is followed by four tables
of vertical columns, showing the charges of
ponder in pounds—the ball or shell in
weight, the elevation and the range iu
yards.
We give below the ball table, for
charges of eighteen pounds and balls of
one hundred and twenty-eight, which
show the following variations in range :
Elevation. Range in Y'ards.

With a charge of twenty pounds and an
elevation of thirty-nine and one-fourth
inches, we find this monster credited with
a range of five thousand six hundred and
fifty-four yards, or very near three and a
fourth miles.
With shells of one hundred pounds, and
charges of twelve pounds, we find the
table of ranges fioui 1°S00 to 5°—1G°4 / ,
and another table for charges of eighteen
pounds going up to 35°, and a range of
more than four thousand yards. The fig
urcs are iu some eases indistinct from
wear or handling, as the little bit of wood
so thoroughly suggested of the curiosities
ot northern warfare, has evidently been
closely studied.
The Fire m Fort Sumter.— On Sunday
afternoon after Governor Pickens and
Staff, and General Beauregard and Staff
had started from Sullivan’s Island to take
possession of Fort Sumter, they were no
tified that a fire had broken out, and that
the magazine was in great danger. The
boat immediately put Lack to Sullivan’s
Island, aud took on board two fire engines
that were on the Island, and a company cf
regulars fmm the Floating Battery. The
engines were conveyed under the com
mand of Col. R. S. Duyrea, and upon
their landing a stream of wafer was imme
diately thrown upon the tiie nearest the
magazine. ’I he brakes were manned by
a company of regulars and by volunteers
from the noble Palmetto Guard.
Col. Duyrea returned to the city about
nine o’clock on Sunday evening, for the
purpose of obtaining more engines. The
bElna Fire Company, with their appara
tus, and the Axe Company, with their
new steam engine, were almost immeiii-
ately placed upon the steamer. Thc.v
went down to the Fort in charge of out
very efficient Chief, M. H. Nathan, Esq.
1 lie firemen played three streams all night
upon the burning mass, and partially suc
ceeded in arresting the progress of the
fire. About half past ten, in pursuance to
then transferred to the Isabel, and Mr. and i not * ce on ^ 1C bulletin boards, a detach-
Mrs. Bonetheau, through the politeness of
the young Lieutenant, were allowed to
witness the simple and beautiful ceremony
observed in saluting the flags.
They were also eye-witnesses of the sad
accident which sent one brave man into
eternity instantly, from whose effects an
other has died, and several are still suffer
ing. They were present when the dead
soldier was committed to the dust by the
Rev. Mr. Yates. This solemn service
was also attended by Capt. Hallonquist,
the gallant Captain of the Enfilading and
Morter Battery.
Mrs. Bonetheau was the only recipient
of a portion of the riddled flag which the
brave commander of Fort Sumter refused
to lower, till stem necessity was upon
him.
The staff of the stars and stripes received
seven shots before it fell.
Major Anderson unshipped the upper
half of the flag-staff, and carried it away
with him as a memento of the fierce bom
bardment.
A South Carolina Woman.—The site
selected by the experienced eye of the
General in command of the South Caroli
na forces, was occupied by the residence
of our venerable townswoman, Mrs. Eliza
Brown, the honored mother of George M.
Coffin, Esq. The house was instaatly
given up by the patriotic lady, on one
condition, which was, in her own emphatic
language, that “they would whip the Y an
kees.”
Fort Sumter tells us, and history will
proclaim to coming generations, how faith
fully that simple and agreeable condition
was complied with.
On the fifth of April that worthy rep
resentative of the noble women of the
Revolution presented a flag to the gallant
commander of that important post. Tlie
staff of that inspiring symbol was shot
down about noon of the glorious Fridav.
but m a moment its proud folds were again
waving defiance to the foe. That honor
ed flag now floats from the residence of her
son, which bears marks of the booming
conflict.
That Monster Columbiad.—Great and
terrible things were expected from the ten
inch Columbiad which opened from Fort
Sninter in gaping defiance against the
Stephens’ battery, which such artilleries
as Greelv and his coadjutors of the Tri
bune stripe predicted would have silenced,
demolished, and knocked us to next week
by the great Columbiad.
To report faithful, we must say that our
brave defenders and guardians of the
Stephens’ battery did expect something
from that Columbiad, and the result is
that it was this Columbiad alone which
made any marked impression on the “Iron
railroad battery,” with which the name of
Stephens is honorably and endunngly con
nected.
We have before ns, and shall retain for
the examination of friends at the Courier
office, a fragment of the English railroad
iron knocked off from the iron battery,
and showing an effect that, if followed up
closely and fiercely, might have made that
strong bulwark somewhat less secure.
ment of five firemen from each company,
making fifty in all, left the city under the
command of T. Tupper, Esq., to relieve
their comrades.
At three o’clock, a report was brought
by Col. Duyrea that the companies were
gaining upon the fire, and tlie magaaiue
was considered safe.
\\ e understand that the inside of the
fort is almost one mass of ruins.
The Palmetto Fire Engine Company
went down on Saturday night. Two
others, the Hope and Charleston, were on
the wharf ready to embark, but were un
able to obtain transportation.
The companies all returned on Monday
evening, the fire having been extinguished.
Mr. Lopez went down on Monday, with
a force of hands, toclearup the rubbish and
brick fragments.
Who Are Responsible ?
It is a useless undertaking for the Re
publican party to attempt to shirk the re
sponsibility of having produced the disas
ters which liave overtaken the country.
Before the negro was brought into the po
litical arena we were a happy, united and
prosperous people. When schemes for his
amelioration and emancipation were con
fined to a few fanatics like Garrison, Wen
dell Phillips, and Charles C. Burleigh,
and when the only organs laboring in that
pseudo-pbilanthtopic field, were the Bos
ton Investigator and the Anti-Slarery
Standard, people could afford to laugh at
the folly and the madness of a crazed
horde of humanitarians in their efforts to
place the negro upon a level of equality
with the white man. But when a great
party, seeking for the spoils of power, and
animated by the thirst of political doom
ion, elaborated this new idea of negro
fraternity, and made the freedom of the
slave its shibboleth and rallying cry. then
it became dangerous and formidable to the
peace and security of the nation.
Ever since the Republican party arose,
with this love for the negro as the under
lying principle of its organization, there
has been an ill feeling between the Narth
*nd the South, which ha3 finally termina
ted in disruption and dissolution. It re
quired no peat prophetic sagacity to fore
see that this calamity must be the inevita
ble result of the crusade and the prejudice
waged and fomented for political ends.
I he same results would have eventuated
from the same causes in any other civil
ized country ou the globe. Tlie wisest
and the most trusted statesmen had time
and again warned their countrymen
against the teachings of those ambitious
men who, for political purposes alone, were
arousing sectional jealousies and widening
the breach between the two extremes up-
ou this exciting slavery question. The
writings and speeches of Jackson, Clay,
Webster, Adams, Choate, and a long list
of other illustrious patriots, are on record,
pregnant with admonition to the people of
their day and of posterity to beware of
doctrines having the remotest tendency to
plant the seeds of sectional animosity and
strife in the national heart, and thus weak
en the bonds of the Conatitntion and the
Union.
But all these admonitions and these
warnings were unheeded. The moment a
political party, intent upon the spoils of
office, and bent upon success at any price,
made Anti-slavery and friendship for ^ie
L, ack race the element of agitation, then
meneed a war against the South, which
bitterness and defamation never had
parallel in political annals. AH honor,
all love of troth, all reverence for the sanc-
[NTMBER 4P. titv of our institutions and our laws, were
blown to the winds, and an era as bad as
that of the French Revolution was inau
gurated. The murder of slave owners,
the rescue of tugitivesfrom U. S. Marshals,
the outlawry in Kansas, the John Brown
raid, were the brutal outrages that herald
ed tlie triumph of Republicanism and its
establishment in power. Without these
base instrumentalities and these monstrous
wrongs the Republican patty would not
have achieved its victories, because its suc
cess depended entirely upon the debanch-
ment of the public mind and the corrup
tion of the popular heart.
When we look back and contemplate
the wicked means employed by the Re
publican party to consummate its purpo
ses. we instinctively shrink back with hor-
lor, and pray to Cod that we may never
again be compelled to witness the scenes
of anarchy and confusion through which we
have passed.
The responsibility of all our woes and
disasters—of a disruptured Union, of hank
suspensions, of financial reverses, of broken
fortunes; and shall we say of broken
hearts! rests upon that party now iu
power which has made negTO equality the
basis of its political action, and which now
stands palsied and impotent in the high
places of power it has usurped, a jeer and
a laughing stock in the face ctf the civil
ized world.—Phila. Argus.
"Got a Baby.”—“A well spring of joy”
has been opeueu in the house of the editor
of the LaGrange (Mo.) American, and the
consequence is the editor is so delighted
he don’t know which end lie is standing
on. Just listen to him:
“Last Wednesday afternoon, ‘to us a
child was born,’ but not a son was given.
We feel proud of our baby—it is so pretty
and sweet, so our better half says. It is a
girl of course—our wife wanted a girl, so
we gave up to her—the times being too
hard to split the difference, and hare"a
girl and boy at once. Our time will come
next—see if it don’t. Our baby weighs
eight pounds, and all the ladies say that
it is such a pretty little angel, and looks
just like its papa. Of course every body
will know it is pretty when it resembles
us. It lias black eyes, dark hair, and the
sweetest little face, aud the way it can
cry is a caution to a calliope—but then its
little voice is so charming, producing such
a harmony of sweet sounds. It was the
first time that we ever beard our baby’s
voice, and what a tin ill of happiness did
that little sound send through our bosoms.
But we are too happy to express our
feelings. We are at least two feet taller
than we were before the baby was horn,
and think ourselves good euough to be.-
come a preacher. We pitty everybody
that hasn’t got a baby, and as for bachel
ors we entertain a sovereign contempt for
them, and intend to lam the first one that
presumes to have the effrontery to speak
to us. Poor old maids! from the bottom of
our heart we feel sorry for them. Oh, that
they could only realize the happiness of a
young mother with her first born. Y’oung
men aud young ladies too, our aovice to
you is, ‘go thou and do likewise’—it will
make you feel happ> to have a baby. We
warn every body not to insult us, for we
feel big enough and strong enough to whip
every one of the seceding States back into
the Union, and a single man wouldn’t be a
taste for us. We are doubly sound on the
union issue now. We never intend to se
cede from our baby.”
TI "ar Terms.—The Columbiad or Paix-
han—pronounced paxzan—is a large gun,
designed principally lor firing shells, it be
ing far more accurate than the ordinary
short mortar.
A mortar is very short cannon, with a
large bore, some of tliem 13 inches in di
ameter; for firing shells. Those in use in
our army are set at an angle of 45 degrees,
and the range of the shell is varied by al
tering the charge of powder.
The shell is caused to explode at just
about the time that it strikes, by means of
a fuse, the length of which is adjusted to
the time of flight to be occupied by the
ball, which, of course, corresponds with
the range. The accuracy with which the
time of the burning of a fuse can be adjust
ed, hj. varying its length, is surprising;
good artillerists generally succeed in hav
ing tlieir shells explode almost at the ex
act instant of striking. In loading a mor
tar, the shell is carefully placed with the
fuse directly forward, and when the piece
is discharged, the shell is so completely en
veloped with flame that the fuse is nearly
always fixed, 'x he fuse is made by filling
a wooden cylinder with fuse powder, the
cylinder being of sufficient length for the
longest range, to be cut down for shorter
ranges as required.
A Dahlgren gun is an ordinary cannon,
except that it is made very thick at the
breech for some three or four feet, when it
tapers down sharply to less than the usual
size. r I his form was adopted in conse
quence of the experiments of Capt. Dalil-
gren, of the United States Navy, having
shown that when a gun bursts, it usually
gives way at the breech.
The Niagara is armed with these guns,
and at the Brooklyn navy yard there are
sixty, weighing about 6000 pounds each,
and six of 12,000 weight each, the former
of which are capable of carrying a nine
inch, and the latter a ten inch shell a dis
tance of two or three miles; and there is
one gun of this pattern which weighs 14,-
916 pounds, and is warranted to send a 11
inch shell four miles.
A casement is a stone roof to a fort made
sufficiently thick to resist the force of can
non balls, and a casement gun is one which
is placed under a casement.
A barbette gun is one which is placed
on the top of a fortification.
An embrasure is the hole or opening
through which guns are fired from fortifi
cations
Loop holes are openings in walls to firo
musketry through.
Romantic.—“Henry, dost thou love me,
dearest l”
“Why asked thou, Helenora ?”
“Not that I fear thy answer, dearest
Henry, but because I love to hear thee
speak. Henry, dust thou love me ?”
“Ask the stars if they love to twinkle, or
the flowers to smell, or the rose to bloom.
Love you ! Ah, as the bird to warble, or
the breeze to waft its balmy influence.—
Why ask thou me, flannel of my heart?”
“Because my soul is grieved, care has

brow, and yet Helenora knoweth not the
cause.—Toll me, my aching heart, why

“No, my Helenora—thank the gods, but

Helenora screeches, faints and falls into
his arms; in the anguish of the moment he
seizes a knife and stabs himself-in a horn.
The City tf New York.—It is to be ho
ped that the present hostile attitude of
the city of New York will never, never be
forgotten by the South, whose commerce

just revenge can undertake it.
