So I sought me a little scroll, love And thereon in eager haste, ' -Lest another's eye should r ad them. Some mystic, words I trated. Then close in your clasped fingers, Olose in your waxen hand, I placed the scroll as an amulet. Sure you would understand! The secret is your's and mine, love !

It is undoubtedly a good thing to know h:w to read and write, bnt the mere possession of these rudiments of ed ucation profit a man but little, unless his nobler faculties are directed in the proper way ; and it U a mistake to enppose that beiause he can read and write he is a better man or more intelligent citizen. The Athenieus, it may safely be assumed, though the great body of tbera were with out these acquirements, were quite as well versed in literature, science, polities' and the polite arts, as the people of New Englard, whose boast it is ihat their sys tem of free schools has diffused education more generally among the people than in any other country ; and the experience of every thinking man in the routn win bear me oul iu the assertion, that in all the elements which go to make up true manhood -honesty, truth, honor, faith, courage and intelligence - our own people, all unlettered as many of them are, have proved themselves, in war as in peace, at least the equals of those who pride then- selves' oil their' superior education.
