Institutions for Reformation. Fhom Professor Stowk's Rspoht. At Berlin, I visited an establishment for the reformation of jyouthful offenders. Hero, bojs are placed, who have committed offences that bring them under the super fision of the police, to be instructed, and rescued from vice, instead of being harden ed in iniquity by living1 in the common prison with old offenders, jit is under the care Dr. Kopf, a most simple-hearted, excellent old gentleman ; just Such an one as reminds us of the ancient Christians, who lived in the, times of the persecution, simplicity and purity of the Christian church. He has been 'very successful in "reclaiming the youngoffenders,and ihany an one who would otherwise have been! forever lost, has, by the influence of this institution! been saved to himself to his countryand tp God. It is a manual labor school ; , and to a judi cious intermingling of study and labor, re ligious instruction, ; kind treatment and jiecessary severity, it has owed its success. When I was there, most of the boys were load which the Government was then con tructing between Berlin and Leipsic ; and there were butafew who could not main tain themselves by their labor. As I was passing with Dr. K.jfrora room to room, I heard some beautiful voices, singing in an adjoining apartment, and on entering I found about twenty lof the boys, sitting at a long table, making clothes for the estab lishment, and singing at their work. The Dr. enjoyed my surprise, and on going vit, remarked--" a iivays keep these lit tle rogues singtixg at; their work, for while the children sing, the Devil cannot come among them at all ; ie can only sit at our doors there and grcjwl ; but if they stop singing, in the Devil comes." The Bible and the singing of religious hymns, are a raong the most efficient instruments which be employs for softening; the hardened heart, and bringing jthe vicious and stubborn will to docility. j A similar establishment in the neighbor hood of Hamburg, tp which I was introdu ced by Dr Julius, ivho is known to many otcurcitiiens, aifoi-ded striking examples of the happy influence of moral and reli gious instruction iij reclaiming the .vicious and saving the lost.j Hamburg is the largest commercial city of permany, and its popu lation is extremely! crowded. Though it is highly distinguished for its benevolent institutions and for ihe hospitality and in tegrity of its citizens. yet the very cir cumstances in whicjh it is placed, produce among the lowest jelass of its population, habits of degradation and beastliness, of which we have but; few examples on this side of the Atlantic The children, there fore, received into this institution, are often of the verv worst and most Vinnp.lpss char acter. iNot only I are their minds most thoroughly depraved, but their very senses and bodily organization seem to partake in Ahe viciousness and degradation of 'their hearts. Their appetites are so perverted, ihat sometimes the most loathsome and disgusting substances are preferred to whole some food. The Superintendent, Mr. Wich- ern, states, that though plentifully supplied With provisions. Vet when first rprpived ome of them vill!steal and eat soap, ran- ld erease that lias: bppYi lnlrl ocirlo utJIUls 1UL .111 urose of greasing shoes, and even catch nay-Dugs and devour them : and it is with the utmost. difficulty that these disgusting iiabits are broken !np. An ordinarv man a j might suppose that the task of restoring such poor creatures to decency and good morals was entirely hopeless. Not so with Mr. Wichern. He took hold with the inn hope that the moral power of the vord of God is competent even to such, a a task. His means are prayer, the Bible, singing, affectionate conversation, severe punishment when unavoidable, and con stant, steady employment, in useful labor. On one occasion, when everv ntlipr mne i J w a a WHO The thought that they can yet be loved, melts the heart, gives them hope, and is a strong incentive to reformation. On anoth er occasion, when considerable progress had been made in their moral education, the Superintendent discovered that some of them had taken nails from the premises, and applied them to their own use, without permission. He called them together, ex pressed his great disappointment and sor row that they had profited so little by the instructions which he had given them, and told them that till he had evidence of their sincere repentance, he could not admit them to the morning and evening religious exer cises of his family. With expressions of deep regret for their sin, and with promises, entreaties and tears, they begged to have this privilege restored to them ; but he was firm in his refusal. A few evenings after wards, while walking in the garden, he heard youthful voices among the shrub bery ; and drawing near unperceived, he found that the boys had formed themselves into little companies of seven or eight each, and met morning and evening in different retired spots in the garden, to sing, read the Bible and pray among themselves ; to ask God to forgive them the sins they had com mitted, and to give them strength to resist temptation iri future. With such evidence of! repeapce he soon restored to them the prvfegjb of attending morning and evening ptfayjlrs with his family. One morning sbrtj after, on entering his study, he found it al adorned with wreaths of the most beautiful flowers, which the boysr had ar ranged there at early day-break, in testimo ny of their joy and gratitude for his kind ness. Thus rapidly had these poor crea tures advanced in moral feeling, religious sensibility, and good taste. In the spring Mr. Wichern gives to each boy a patch of ground in the garden, which he is to call his own, and cultivate as he pleases. One of the boys began to erect a I little hut of sticks and earth upon his plot, in which he might rest during the heat of the day, and to which he might retire when he wished to be alone. When it was all finished, it occurred to him to dedicate it to its use by religious ceremonies. Accord ingly, he collected the boys together. The hut was adorned with wreaths of flowers, and a little table was placed in the centre on whicli lay the open Bible,, ornamented the same manner. He then read with in great seriousness the 14th, 15th, and 24th verses of the 98th Psalm : "The Lord is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation. " ' The voice of rejoicing and salvation is, heard in the tabernacles of the righteous. " This is the day which the Lord hath wade. We will rejoice and be clad in it." After5 this, exercises were concluded by singing ana prayer. Another boy alter-; wards built him a hut, which was to be dedicated in a similar way ; but when the boys came together, they saw in it a piece of timber which belonged to the establish ment, and ascertaining that it had been taken without permission, they at once de molished the whole edifice, and Testored the timber to its place. At the time of har vest, when they first enter the field' to i gather the potatoes, before commencing the work, they formed into circle, and much to the surprise of the Superintendent broke out-together into the harvest hymn: " Now let us all thank God. " After singing this, they fell to work with cheerfulness and vigor. I mention these instances, from numer ous others which might be produced, j to show how much may be done, in reclaim ing the most hopeless youthful offenders by a judicious application of the right means of moral influence. How short-sighted and destructive, then, is the policy which would exclude such influence from our In stitutions T The same effects have been produced by houses of reformation in our own country.. 1 Would mention, as one instance, the institution of Mr. Wellesjin Massachusetts. ; Now, laying aside all considerations of benevolence and of religious obligation, j is it not for the highest good of the State, that these minds should be withdrawn from vice and trained up to be enlightened and useful citizens, contributing a large share to the public wealth, virtue, and happiness ; rath er than they should come forward in life miserable criminals, of no use to themselves or the public, depredating on the property and violating the rights of the industrious citizens, increasing the public burdens by their crimes, endangering the well being of society, and undermining our liberties?: They can either be the one or the other, ac- i i .' .i . .i ' cording a3 we cnoose ioeuucate tnem our establishment. At last I was introduced to a very large hall which was full of chil dren, with their books and teachers, and having all the appearance of a common Prussian school room. What,"" said I, " is it possible that all these children are imprisoned here for crime ? " " Oh no," said my conductor smiling at my simplici ty t if but if a parent is imprisoned for crime, and on that account his children are left destitute of the means ol education, and liable to grow up in ignorance and crime, the government has them taken here, and educated them for useful employment." The thought 6rought tears to my eyes. This wa3 a new idea to me. I know not that it has ever been suggested in the United States ; but surely it is the duty of the gov ernment, as well as its highest interest, when a man is paying the penalty of his crime in a public prison, to see that his unof fending children are not left to suffer and to inherit their father's vices. Surely it would be better for the child, and cheaper, as well as better, Tor the State. Let it not be supposed that a man would go to prison for the sake of having his children taken care of, for they who go to prison usually have little regard for their children ; and if they had, discipline like that of the Berlin prison would soon sicken them of such a bargain. Where education is estimated according to its real value, people are ready to expend money for the support of schools ; and if necessary, to deny themselves some physi cal advantages for the sake of giving their children the blessings of moral and intellec tual culture. In the government of Baden, four per cent, of all the public expense is for education they have a school with an average of two or three well qualified teach ers to every three miles of territory, and every one hundred children ; and that too. when the people are so poor that they can seldom afford any other food than dry barley bread, and a farmer considers it a luxurv to be able to allow his family the use of butter-milk three or four times a year. In Prussia, palaces and convents are every where turned into houses of education ; and accommodations originally provided for princes and bishops are not considered too good for the school-master and his pupils. But, though occupying, palaces, they have no opportunity to be idle or luxurious. -Hard labor and frugal living are every where the indispensable conditions to a teacher's life, and I must say that I have no particular wish that it should be other- a wise ; for it is only those who are willing to work hard and live frugally, that ever do much good in such a world as this. bit the power of the instrument. But when the prelude drawing to a close, the organist came to the vocal passage, what was my astonishment to hear a choir as it appeared at the time to be, commence and sing. It was entirely distinct from the organ which all the while had the accompaniment. The voices were heard distinctly heard it it seemed as if there could be no mistake. No one was in the organ loft but the or ganist and myself. I looked around for the choir removed from one position to another put my ears close to the instru ment, and the key holes of the pannels, and endeavored to ascertain from whence came the vocal sounds but in vain. Mr. Vegt saw my surprise and smiled. I repeated ly moved from side to side and listened in every position, not being willing to belie ve, what at last proved to I be true, that the sounds I heard were instrumental only, and not vocal. At the conclusion of the' vocal passage the organ was again heard alone in symphony, and at the! close of this the voices were resumed again sometimes in solo, or duet, treble and altos responding to tenors and bases vice versa in. figura tive, fugato, or plain counterpoint. Still I could be hardly satisfied that there was not deception that there were not voices concealed in, or behind the instrument. But the organist having concluded the piece, left the organ, and gave opportunity for others to touch the keys. When I found that the touch of my own fingers produced the same quality of tone all my infidelity ceased, and I believed that it is possible for an organ to be made so exactly to imitate the human voice, that the difference can not be easily distinguished. Finally, Mr. Vegt played a storm piece in which the el ements appeared to rage, and the lightnings to flash, the thunder to roar, the rain to de scend in torrents, and the very pillars and high arched dome of thefminister to shake. It grew dark, and wet, and cold. We has tened out of the tempestuous cathedral into the open air, and were met by the warm sunshine of a summer's day in Switzerland." At a subsequent hearing, Mr. Mason was confirmed in his high opinion of the instru- ment, and closes his account of it with the following statement: This organ was built by Moser, now about 75 years of age. ;He will not make another or suffer this to be examined. The King of France lately sent to Moser to build an organ lor lum on the same plan, but hi declined, saying that he wished his own native city of Freiburg to possess the only instrument of the kind in the world." at A fearful Contrast. While our papers have been teeming with the best accounts of the London press, descriptive of the cor onation of Queen Victoria, with all its accompanying luxury and splendor,, the follow i iii; heart-rending scene is worthy of attention, as affording the painful and bit ter contrast of starvation in the midst of plenty. It is from the London Globe of July 3d. Phiii Inquirer. Horrible Destitution. Four wretched looking boys, each under twelve years of age, were brought before Mr. Rogers on the charge of being houseless vagrants. Inspector Perry said that at three o'clock in the morning lie found the prisoners and two other boys lying in a vault on the Woodbridge estate, Clerkenwell, and they were so taint that it was with the greatest difficuliy those i now in the office, could walk to the station-house. Their two un fortunate companions were utterly inca pable of exertion, and it was found neces eary to remove them to the work house, where they were still ; and it was expect ed that, ere twelve hours had elapsed, death would relieve them ot their suttermgs, as they could not take nourishment of any kind. .1 Mr. Rogers remarked that it was a most heart-rending tale, and he asked thede-! fendants to give some accountof themselves. Each stated that he was an orphan and houseless, and that lie obtained the bread that kept him alive by holding horses and other such vagabond employments. One of the poor fellows added that he had been foraging the streets the greater part of the night for bits of bread for the two lads then in the work-house, as he sajs they were dying for food, and he returned with a few scraps just as the inspector entered the vault, and was trying to feed them, but they could not swallow. The magistrate committed them to pri son for twenty-one days, as they would be admitted into the infirmary, and have med ical attention ; and during their incarcer ation the visiting magistrates would find out their parishes, and pass them home. The poor fellows were, very grateful for the shelter thus given them. before his aged eyes, that he might look once more on freedom's starry banner. His, wish was gratified the procession stopped, the star-spangled flag was displayed he gazed upon it a moment, turned his eyes in peaceful gratitude to heaven, fell back and expired. Thus died the aged Revolutiona ary, the brave John Campbell, of Piqua. , What a subject for the painter! How no ble a theme for the poet! The orator, the statesman, the warrior, may find a moral here. In that veteran's life was comprised an age of glory glory to his country, mor tality to himself. In infancy and boyhood he had struggled beneath the weight of op pression and thraldom. In the sinewy strength and pride of manhood, he had thrown that thraldom off, and struck a tri umphant blow for the liberty of the world. He had lived to see his country free, had enjoyed the fruits of that freedom, had grown old and full of years and honors, and when, at last he lays down to die to de part for the eternal realmshe looks his last upon the honored flag of his country the last sounds he hears are those of joyful freedom and when his spirit takes its leave, it is borne to its immortal 'home upon the grateful aspirations of the free--aspirations offered up at freedom's altei to the throne of God. Sublime departure! , Glorious life, and enviable hour to die! At the death of such a man, and at such a time, how truly may we say "How sleep the brave who sink to rst By all their country's wishes blest.'1 "Their dirge shall be the frceman'a slgb, Their monument the myrtle tree, While truth and virtue, weeping nigh, Shall close the patriot's obsequy- Nor shall one tear less sacred fall Upon the grave of worth, Because unblazon'd is its pall, And titleless its birth.'1 GREAT ORGAN AT FREIBURG.

For this purpose he attended service at the Cathedral, where he heard the instrument, and finished the account of his first hear ing by saying, that he found the organ to be nearly what he had expected, a very ex-, cellent instrument, but by no means supe rior to others in Germany and England. Being introduced, however, to the organist immediately after service, he was invited to go into the organ loft and hear the instru ment again, which he did. He describes its external appearance. It has been built only six or eight years. It had four rows of keys and ' sixty-four registers. 44 The registers do not draw out, as U common, but slide to the right and left. The outside appearance is very beautiful. The case is of black walnut, very tastefully and richly ornamented with carved and gilt work. There are about ninety front pipes, all of which retain their natural color, like the organ at the Odeon. It is so with almost all the European organs." The organist played an introduction and fugue by Bach. The rich tones of the noble instrument iolled through the lofty arches of the Cath edral with great power and grandeur. 44 After this he played an orchestra piece, in the manner of an overture in which the various powers of the instrument were made to appear to admirable advantage. The flute, oboe, horns, trumpets, violins, &c, all being heard in their turn, and all blend- mg in the richest harmony in the tutti pas sages." The rest we quote from the author's own description : 44 The third piece was in military style. It was an admirable representation of a mil itary band, in which clarionets, basoons, horns, trumpets, and trombones are in the hand of the .most perfect master of those in struments. But to the fourth piece. This was a Motetto by Haydn a vocal piece. The 'moment the introductory symphony com menced, the peculiar style of the inimitable composer was obvious. Haydn is always so tasteful and elegant m melody, and so chaste and rich in harmony, that he cannot be mistaken, It seemed almost a pity that such a piece of music, requiring voices, should have been selected for the-organ, and especially as a piece designed to exhi- renorts sundown.

Four years a go, Congress ordered that a Statue of Wash ington should be made, to be placed in the splendid rotunda ef the Capitol at Wash ington City. The work was committed to the hands of the celebrated Sculpt6r, Mr. Greenough, who since the death of Ca nova, stands first in his profession. Mr. F. Cooper has recently received a letter from Mr. Greenough, giving the in formation that the Statue is in rapid pro gress and will soon be finished. Jt must certainly prove a most splendid specimen of the sculptuary art. The block of marble from which it is making, weighed, when " - u " w it first came under the hands of the artist, 130,00064. or more than sixty tons. It was not an easy job, the hewing this block out of the mountain some 20 miles from Rome, conveying it in its xpugh state to'the studio of the artist, where it receives its form and figure.

Western Carolinian. few remaining veterans of the Revolution, had been lying for several days previous to the Fourth, dangerously ill. HU neighbors and friends, and those around his dying bed, plainly perceived that he was fast wast ing, and each hour added an additional shade of death to his relaxing features. Judging from appearances, it was supposed he would die upon the first or second of the month. The old soldier, however, negatived the idea. He calmlv assured those around him that he had but one wish, and that, under the Providence of God, he believed it would be granted. This wish was, that he might look his last upon the cloudless sun of the approaching anniversary -that he might yield up bis spirit upon the Fourth of July, the birthday of Freedom, a day made sacred to the greatness of his country, the happi ness of mankind, and the destinies of the world. Numerous instances are upon re cord, where the dying have been sustained by the intensity of some absorbing thought; where the fleetina snirit still sheds its vita! influence upon the decaying frame, uphold ing exhausted nature, and giving light and lite until a particular hour. It was so in this instance.

The fourth p July had come, and still the old man lived; between his desire and the immortality to which he was fast hastening, there appeared to be a spiritual communion. The morn, which was ushered in by the roar of cannon and the martial strains of military music, found the old gentleman better than he had been for many days; his heart beat more freely, the light of life was reflected more brightly from his eyes, and his whole countenance gave manifestations of a sublime triumph achieved by the purity of an honorable and patriotic mind over the dull and earthlik.e struggles of decaying matter. Hour after hour passed, and he still lived. Repeatedly, when the loud huzza ot the people pierced the soldier's chamber, he raised himself, and with fervor breathed a prayer to hea ven.
