EDUCATION Means the development, perfection, and proper use of the body and mind : it relates to the training and guardianship of youth, from infancy to mature age to the influenc ing of the charaetttr and prospects, not only of individuals, but of nations. The highest powers aud noblest sentiments of our nature might remain forever dormant, were they not developed and matured by the instruc tion and example of the wi.c and good. In a still wider sense, education may mean the whole training of the thoughts and affec tions by inward reflection and outward event and actions, by intercourse with men, " by tho spirits of the just made pel feet " by instruction from tho WORD, and the tram ing tho whole mau for life and immoi tidily, I TUB UHAND WEDDING OF MRS.

Among the heroes of the great revolu tionary struggle of our country there wera many brave hearts who have long sunk to rest, not "with all their country's Louor blet," but in obscurity and neglect. Sure ly, it is the duty of history, as far as possi ble, to embalm their memory upon it.- pages, and to give it in living colors to posterity. Commodore Samuel Tucker, whose remains repose iu an ob-cure retreat on the rough coa.-t of Maine, is a case in point. It was 011 a retired spot in that part of Bristol, now Bremen, bordering on Broad Cove, that he. passed the latter part of bis days. It was probably owing to bis seclusion from society, that this bravo and distin guished officer has escaped the notice of wiiters on our naval history. For a mau who had captured, under his individual command, over 4,000 men, and 400 guns the individualsekcted by Washington, while at Cambridge, as, above all others, tbe best qualified to convey to France our firat agent, and on whose success depended th fate of the country that such a coutmaud cr thould have been unnoticed is a matter of surprise. His orders from Washington were to run from everything and land Mr. Adams safe in France, 'ihe Hoston, a common merchatit ship, was purchased for this purpose, aud was fitted up, undar Tuck trs direction, as a sloop of war bearing twenty guns. A British seventy-four, and two frigates, were stationed at NVwnort. U , having probab v re- t ceived notice from spies, of Tucker's expe- l : . : ... ..11. .1 ...

We regret that the limi's of this sketch will not ad ii' 't of some interesting anecdotes ot this great mat), which are now in the wri ter's possession, lie wis boru at Marble Lea I, Massachusetts, November 1 5th. 1747.

On his pa.s3 igc to France in the Hoston, ' Com. Tucker, by bis knowledge of British signals and customs, and the distribution of their ships of war ou this coa.-t, which he had learned in England when the revolution commenced, came up with a British sloop- of-war about his own force, who was cruis ,ing iu search of him, after the first fire sha 1 -truck to him. Hut she was so near the Ea i glish coast that she was retaken soon after, j fucker's escape from the three ships of war t!..,t came out of Newport to cut biiu off, ! w as a masterly mana-uvri', and was effected j by a feint in running d-vii for their best sailor, which was coining n, wild bim at I sufficient distance from the others to appre- lien I that she must fight sin e.haiidd :-i-i - i,.,,,,.,.,!
