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. Eduralf the Youns. BY WM.

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. From the Charleston Courier, April 17tli. 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. 0 394 1 752 2 1002 3 1230 4 1540 5 1814 G 2037 8 2519 10 2777 lo 3525 20 4020 25 4304 30 476I 35 .5433 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 o’crcast the joy which once spread sun shine o’er thy face, anguish sits on thy brow, and yet Helenora knoweth not the cause.—Toll me, my aching heart, why droops thy snnl—has mntton riz ]” “No, my Helenora—thank the gods, but my credit’s fell, the Corinth merchants from this day forth sell goods exclusively for cash.” 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 has made that city what it is, aud whose just revenge can undertake it.
