He is only worthy of esteem that knows what is just and honest, and dares do it- that is master of his own passions, and scorns to be a slave to another's-Such a one, in the poorest poverty, is a far better man, and werits more respect, than those gay things who owe all their greatness and reputation to their rentals and revenues.

Good thoughts, like good company, will not stay where they are not properly enter- tained; while bad thoughts, like ill-manner- ed guests, press for admission, or, like night robbers, lurk secretly about, waiting for an unguarded moment to ceeep in and destroy.

Gentleness is a sort of mild atmosphere, and it enters into a child's soul like the sun- shine into a rose bud, slowly but surely ex- panding it into beauty and vigour.

The humble man request a favor as though he were unworthy to receive it; but the proud man asks for a favor in the same tone as if he were granting one.

To gain extensive usefulness-seize the prsent opportunity, great or small, and im- prove it to the utmost.

The best to condemn bad traits, is by peac- tising good ones.

A beautiful woman commands our admir- ation. A virtuous one deserves our love.

The St. Louis Gazette says :- A friend of ours took home one Saturday night, a short time since, a long water melon which growed in the Jerseys, intending to have it for his Sunday desert. Dinner time come and he could not find the melon. He ask- ed his wife if she knew where it was. She made no reply, but instantly turned pale as death. The affectionate hushand, thinking she was ill and about to faint, cut open her dress behind, for the purpose of loosening her corset, when, to his astonishment out droppedithe watermelon. She was wear- ing it as a bustle!

ORIGINAL POETRY.

LINES, DEDICATED TO :"Man forgets, in busy hours, What in his idle moments he had said, Nor thinks how often woman's happiness Hangs on his lightest words. 'Tis only woman in her loveliness, And in her silent, melancholy hours, Who treasures in her heart the idle words That have no meaning; who lives on hope, 'Till it has stolen the color from her cheeks, The brightness from her eyes; who trusts . .. her peace ..

On the vast ocean of uncertainty ; And if 'tis wrecked, she learns her lot to bear Or she may learn to die, but not forget, It is for her to hoard her secret thoughts, and sigh

O'er disappointed hopes-till she belives There's less of wretchedness in the wide world

Than in her single heart."

"Twas in a crowd when first we met, Beauty, worth, and joyous smiles were there,

And 'tis not for me to e'er forget,

That then you thought me fairest of the But these are not all I have a word for fair.

'Twas in a crowd when next we met again, And one for a title of nobility. Though not as strangers meet; in the I have letters to show a most valuable thing, crowded hall,

Beauty, bright beauty was there to reign But still to you, I was the fairest of them all.

But now you are changed, destruction's cruel art

And poisoned breath, has found another list'ning ear,

And you like others will blight the heart That still, forever, MUST hold you dear. My hearts first love, 1 fully gave to you, Its strong affections pure and free,

And fondly thought you noble, good and true,

And warmly dreamed that yours was all for mer

Oft do I pray that mem'ry's charm would break,

Since you have played the cruel part,

And from those happy hours, remembrance take

And give me back my heart. O never, never ask me more, Why happy smiles no longer deck The face where smiles were known before, Nor why the rose has fled my cheek.

The "idle memory of the past," Is all that's left to me,

My fondest hope has found its grave, alas! And happiness I never more can see.

Written for the Danvers Eagle. PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

MR. EDITOR :- All the facilities for the advancement of Society, as well as the ob- stacles that lie in its way, are usually brought before the community, through the medium of the press. And as we have one of these organs in our midst bearing the impress of the Eagle,-I see not why it may not be well to inscribe on its pinions, some of the difficulties against which the teachers of our public schools have to strug- gle in preparing their little republics to en- ter the field of usefulness in after life.

are absent :- he hears the lesson of a class in arithmetic, explains all its principles, so that those present can understand it per- fectly ; he then assigns a lesson for the fol- lowing day, embracing not only new prin- ciples, but such as are contained in their Monday's lesson also .- Tuesday morning comes, and with it come those scholars that were absent on Monday. They sit down to their work-perhaps with light hearts ;- but soon, a frown adorns the brow ;- they begin to scratch their heads, and their rest- lessness indicates, that their position is any- thing but pleasant. The teacher is over- stocked with recitations, and has no time to go to their relief, without arresting the progress of the whole school. And thus they toil, frown, and turn about, until they are relieved by the teacher, either by call-

Besides, it is more than probable, that the absent ones are divided among all the classes in school; hence, the teacher has not only this difficulty with all the recita- tions of the absent ones, but has also the trouble of assigning the lessons two or three times over.

I have said, that Tuesday brings with it those who were absent on Monday; but this is not always the case; for they sometimes linger until Wednesday: and this only plac- es them in a worse position, in relation to their class. Tuesday, also, leaves behind some, half a dozen, who were present on Monday; and thus the same scene is enacted so often, that it sometimes becomes necessary for the teacher to scratch his cra- neum in order to quiet some of the fretful risibilities which naturally arise from a scar- city of patience.

Lest I should spin too long a thread, I will leave this point, just to hint at another of the prominent evils that obstruct the teacher's path.

I mean the very common evil-tardiness. Few parents are aware how much the whole school is retarded by this great want of punctuality. It is astonishing to see how extensively this evil prevails in the com- munity. I suppose we must expect it,-to a certain extent, - in our schools, as long as we have so much of it among children of a larger growth. But may it not be rem- edied to some extent, even now ?

We appoint a meeting of parents at sev-

we some times hear it said, that children are excellent mimmics ;- so they are; and they are just as likely to imitate this want of punctuality, as any thing else; and they do imitate it. Now for the effect of it upon our schools. The school is called to order, and the exercises are progressing; when the teacher, not only has the noise and confusion of the scholars, opening and shut- ting doors-let them be ever so careful- but in some cases, the same difficulty to contend with, that he has if they have been absent; for he may have been assigning lessons for the day before the scholar en- ters; and when the tardy one makes his appearance, he has the pleasing variety of going over the same thing again ..

Thus, Mr. Editor-I have attempted to enumerate a few of the evils attending a want of punctuality and constancy in at- tendance on our public schools; and should these few thoughts meet your approbation, I should like to have them stamped on the wings of the Eagle; hoping, that, at least some good may result from it, E

Quincy, Dec. 10, 1844.

FRIEND DAMON :- Once more I write thee from this venerable place. Nothing very new or strange has happened here since my last. Thanksgiving week passed off with a good deal of spirit and vigor .- Here, this festival opens on Monday pre- ceding, when the raffling for poultry com- mences at the groceries and other places provided for that purpose. The operation is as follows :- A Turkey is brought forward and a number of men contribute according ing the class to a recitation, or by giving to its weight, seven coppers are then put time to explain principles to those alone, who should have learned them the day pre- vious, with the class.

into a boot and each one taking his turn at shaking-the one that gets the largest number of heads has the turkey. By this means a large amount of poultry is dispos- ed of. Liquor is freely provided for the operators, and the scene is one of great ex- citement and tumult.

On Thursday, kicking foot-ball, going to church, and gormandizing, were charac- teristics of the day. In the evening, a grand ball came off at the Hancock House in which some of Quincy's fairest daugh- ters participated. The lions of the even- ing among the males was a young Con- tractor, and two or three assistant Engi- neers on the Old Colony Rail Road. I no- ticed one or two Boston gentlemen who re- ceived marked attention from the ladies .--- This was kept up till six o'clock the next morning.

The new Town House is now about com- pleted, and is destined to make a great deal of trouble. Rumor says, that the contrac- tors have not come up to the ""chalk, " in their contracts-and the expense has been greater than was anticipated, and a variety of other things has had a tendency to make divisions in the town. A public town meet- ing has been called, to be held on Friday, when the matter will be settled somehow or other.

Extensive operations have been com- menced on the Old Colony Rail Road ..... The town for a few weeks past has been flooded with {rishmen, with bag and bag- gage, engaged to work here, and the work will be prosecuted with a great deal of vigor.
