A SONG.
BY WILLIAM S. CRXTMLY.
When I was young, my little tongue
Did often try to pray;
But ignorant of the gr ce of God,
I knew not what to say.
I though t that Jesus died for ail,
And Jesus died for me;
But then I saw a perfect law,
And it was made for me.
I often tried to keep that iaw,
But always tried in vain;
I saw that I had broke that law,
And all my works had failed.
Sin took occasion by that law,
And by it I was slain;
Conviction seized my guilty soul,
And all my tears were vain.
But mercy tried to plead my oausc,
But justice held her claim,
Till Jesus died upon the cross.
That I might livo agaiu.
And now I live by faith in him,
Who onee for sin was slain;
But rose triumphant o’er the grave,
And broke death’s iron chain.
And satiified that broken law
By which I once was slain;
All glory bo to Jesus Christ,
Ho is the sinners’ friend.
TOM JONES;
OR,
The New Schoolma’am.
‘The 8Cboolraa'am’s coming—the
echoolm'am's coming!' shouted a dozen
voices at the close of a half hour’s faith,
ful watch to catch a glimpse of our new
teacher. Every eye was turned toward
her with scrutinizing glance, for the
children, as wallas others, always form
an opinion of a person, particularly of
their teacher, at first sight,
‘How tall she is !’ exclaimed one.
‘Ho, I ain’t afraid of her, nor a dozen
like her,’ cried the ’big boy' of the
school.
‘Nor I either,’ cried tho boy’s little
ally,’ I could lick her easy enough;
couldn't you, Tom ?
•Yes, aud I will, too, if she goes tm
touch mec
‘Hush cried one of the girls, :she will
bear you.'
By this time she had nearly reached
the door, round which we clustered,
and every eye was fixed upon her face
with an eager yet bashful gaze, uncer¬
tain, as jet, what verdict to pass upon
her.
•Good morning, tny children,’ she
said, in the kindest voice in the world,
while her face was lighted with the
sweetest smilo imaginable. ‘This is a
beautiful morning to commence school,
is it not ?’
‘1 know 1 shall love her,’ whispered a
little pot in my ear.
We all followed her into the school¬
room, except Tom Jones and his ally,
whe watched until the rest were seated,
and then came in with a swaggering,
noisy gait, and a sort of dare-devil,
saucy look, as much as to say;’ ‘Who
care8 for you ; ’
Miss Wescott looked at them kindly,
but appeared not to notice them fur¬
ther. After a short prayer, and read¬
ing a chapter in the Bible, she passed
round the room and made some inquiry
of leach one iu regard to themselves
and studies.
‘And what is your name V she asked,
layiDg her hand on Tom's head, while
he sat with his hands iu his pockets,
swinging bis body forward and back¬
ward' |
‘Tom Jones,’ shouted ho, at the top i
of hi3 voice. |
asked. ,How old are you, ihomaaf she j
‘Just as old again aa half, answered j
Tom, with a saucy laugh.
•What do you study, Thomas ?
‘Nothing.,
‘What books have you?
.None.
Without appearing to be at all dis¬
turbed by his replies, Mies Wescott
said, ‘I am glad that 1 am to have
one or two large boys in my school;
you can be of great assistance to me, j
Thomas, if you will stop a few m.meats j
aft 0 : school this afternoon, we will talk
over a little plan I have formed/
| This was am>s ery to til!’ and par
j t'cularly to Tom. who coaid not corn
i prebend how ho could bo useful to
J anybody, and for the first time in his
; life ho felt as Lf he was of some iropor
i tanee in the world. Ho had always
i been called a ,bad boy' at school, and
| he took a sort of pride in being fe ared
| by fbe children and dreaded by the
; teacher.
Miss Wescott at once comprehended
his whole character, and began to shape
her plans accordingly. She maintained
that a boy who, at 1J1 years^.-f age,
made himself feared among his School¬
fellows, was capable of beu:,*.r made
something ef. Heretofore all irffueuces
bad conspired to make him a bad, and
perbaps a desperate, character; she
was determined to transform bis char
acter by bringing oppositejnflaences . „ to
work upon him: and to effect this she
must first gain his confidence, which
could not be done in a hetter way than
by lotting him feel that she placed co.t
fidence in him.
When school was out, more than half
the scholars lingered about the door,
wondering what Miss Wescott had
say to lom Jones. He had Oiten been
hidden to remain after school,*but
was always to receive ptffifshu int or a
severe lecture, and nine times out of
ten he would jump out of the window
before half the scholars were out of
the room.- but it was evidently for a
different purpose that he was to remain
now, and no one wondered what it
could he moie than Tom Jones.
‘Don’t you think, Thomas, that our
school-mom would bo a good deal
pleasanter if wo had some evergreens
to hung around it; something to make
it cheerful V inquired Miss Wescott,
•Yes’in, and I know where I can get
plenty of them.’
‘Well, Tbormis, if you will have some
here by 8 o’clock to-morrow morning, I
will ho hero to help yea-put -k|v,
and we will give the children a pleasant
surprise. Here are some books I will
give you Thomas; you may put them
iu your drawer- they are what 1 want
you to study. ’
‘But I can't studv georgraphy and
history,' exclaimed Tom, confusedly.
‘I never did ’
‘That is the reason why you think
you cannot-,’ replied Miss Wescott. ‘1
am quite sure you can, and you will
love them, 1 know.'
‘Nobody ever cared whether I learned
anything or not, before;’ said Tom,
with some emotion.
•Well, I care,’ said Miss Wescott. with
earnestness • you are capable of becom¬
ing a great and good man: you are now
forming your character for life, and it
depends upon yourself what you be¬
come. The poorest boy in this country
has an equal chance with the wealth¬
iest, and his circumstances are more
favorable for becoming eminent, for be
learns to depend upon himself. I will
assist you all 1 can in your studies
)
Thomas, and I know you will succeed;
remember that I am your friend, and
come to me iD every difficulty.,
Tom Jones had not been brought up.
be had come up, because he had been
born into tho world and couldn't help
it.- but, as for any mental or moral
training, he was as ignorant of it as a
wild bramble of a pruning knife. His
father was an intemperate, bad man,
and his mother a totally inefficient
woman. At home he received nothing
hut blows, and abroad nothing but
abuse. His bad passions were the refore
all excited and fostered, and his good
ones wore never called out. He always
expected his teacher would hate him,
so aroused anew hi3 combative powers
to oppose them, and he had made up
Dis mind to turn ‘the new schoolina'am
out of doors.’ When i therefore, Miss
Wescott said she was glad to have him
in her school, he was amazed; and that
she could manifest such au interest for
him and give him a set of books, was
perfectly incomprehensible to him.’ Miss
Wescott understood his position and
character, and determined to modify
them. She Lit that be was equally
capable of good and bad actions, though
the bad now predominated. She knew
that his active mind must be busy, one
might as well think of chaining the
lightning as bending down by force
that wild spirit to his books. : he
would give him employmant; but such
as would call out, a new train of ideas
and thoughts. He must fee! that ho
was doing good^for other's sake, and
that be was not guided along by his
own wayward will, and yet there must
be no appearance of restraint upon
him; ho must chooso to do good.
Tom Jones went home that night
with a new feeling in his breast: for the
first time in his life he felt that he was
i capable of rising above bis presen.
condition, and becoming somewhat
igreateran(1 better than he then was,
His mind bocame inundated with a new
and strange emotion, and, like a mighty
river turned Loin its course—his
thoughts and energies from that hour
sought a now direction.
The next morning he was up with the
dawn, and when Miss Wescott arrived
at the school-house sue found Tom
Jones there with his evergreens,
. Good morning. Thomas,’ she said
kindly, ‘so yon are here before me; you
must have risen early; and 1 see you have
found some beautiful evergreens. Now
if you will help me hang them, we will
have the room all arranged by 9
o’clock.
‘I have brought a hammer and some
nails, said Tom; I thought we should
need them.
‘ Yes, so we shall; I am glad you
thought of it, replied Miss Wescott.
That day every scholar looked amazed
to see Tom Jones actually studying bit
book, and bear him answer several
questions correctly, and they were still
more confounded when at recess, Miss
Wescott said:
'-'Yai trill take care of these little
children, will you not, and see that they
do not get hurt ? You must be their
protector.
One would as soon l.avo thought of
setting a wolf to guard a flock of lambs,
as Tom Jone3 to take good care of little
children.
‘Well, exclaimed Sam Evans, ‘J
never saw such a schoolma'am in all
the days of my life, did you, Tom?
‘ No replied Tom, ‘but I wish I had,
and 1 would have been a different boy
from what I am now, hut 1 am going to
study and learn something. Miss
Wescott says I can, and I am determin¬
ed to try.
1 was astonished to observe the effect
that Miss wescott's treatment of Tom
hart upon tho scholars. They began to
Consider him of some importance, and
to feel a sort of respect for him, which
they manifested, first by dropping the
nickname, Tom, and substituting Tom¬
my, which revealed certainly a more
kindly feeliug toward him.
In les3 than a week Miss Wescott had
the school completely under control!,
yet it was by love and respect that she
governed, and not by an iron rule—she
moved among her scholars a very
queen, and yet so gained their confi¬
dence and esteem that it did not seem
to them submission to another’s will,
but the prompting of their own desire.
One glance of her dark eye would have
quelled an insurrection, and one smile
made them happy for a day.
Juiia Wescott understood human na¬
ture. She made it a study, aa every
teacher ought to do. Sue rooted out
error and prejudice from the minds of
her pupils, showed them the evil of sin
and the beauty of virtue, the advantages
of education, and the consequences of
ignorance, taught them their own capa¬
bilities and responsibilities, and she
adapted her instructions to capacities
and necessities. And thus she went on,
year after year, scattering good seed
into good grouud, and she reaped an
abaDdactharvest. From many a happy
home and high place came a. blessing up
on her.qand there is no one who breathes
her name with greater reverence, or
remembers her with more grateful affec
tion than ‘Tom Jones,’ who has filled
with ability one of the highest judicial
offices in the Union, and freely acknowl¬
edges that he owes his present cheracter
and position, under God’s providence,
to her treatment and instructions.— Ex.
