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.
