The pulses of my youth restore;
Opening the spring of sense and soul,
To love and joy once more.
^ . "I will-not people thy green bowers
With sorrow's pale and spectre band;
Or blend with thine the faded flowers
Of memory's distant land ;
For thou wert surely never given,
To wake regret from pleasures gone;
Hut like an angel sent from Heaven,
To smoothe creation's groan.
Then, while the groves thy garlands twine,
Thy spirit breathes the flower and tree
My heart shall kindle at thy shrine,
And worship God in thee;
And in some cairn, .sequestered spot,
While listening to the coral strain,
Past griefs shall be awhile forgot,
And pleasures bloom again.

THE COUNTRY SCHOOL MASTER.
"Skilled to ride,
The Village master taught his schobL"
There are few characters more singular, few
: situations more varied, than that of the Country
School Master, as he formerly existed.?
The preseut race of School Musters is as dil'
ferent from that, which ruled in our time, as
1 the flying lizards of the Saurian geologic period
were to the Hying ants of the year 1S5I. Now,
he is a spruce young dandy, in many instances,
just let loose upon Southern barbarians, from
| the refined New Kngland States. Formerly
| lie was a man more sinned against, than sinj
ning?a kind of accommodating machine, put
! in motion by the breath of every one's wishes;
! disliked by nobody and like nobody but him'
self. He possessed a character, the terror of
every boy and girl in the parish; and of very
j little convenience to the possessor. He sulfurJ
ed as many changes as a rebel emperor, and
was by turns, a tyrant, a slave, a law maker,
and a sufferer; and yet amidst all the varieties
of his life, he strutted his hour with singular
credit, performing no little service to mankind.
A loinr sti iinr of acuuirements made him a
o O
necessary being with old women, and country
bumpkins and he was invariably the oracle of
all the knotty cuouiries of the neighborhood.
One might knowJliim by his gaunt tigure, for
though the best fed inau in the couutry, like a
pig, he never thrived upon petting. With a
wardrobe and a library consisting oi two shirts
and Pike's arithmetic, he passed a long and
1 patient life with as much celebrity for his sphere,
I as a prince in power, dealing out his learning,
as freely as hi* birch, and in school, always
[ proving one by the other. Theu all the ohgit,a,
j physiology, geology, concology, and psyoology
were unknown, except doxology - which he
regularly stood up and sung in Church on Sundays.
liis leaching, therefore, was coutined
to reading, writing, arithmetic and grammar,
which lie taught far better than it is known i"
the present day. He also understood latin,
which he read fluently, always giving a the Oxj
ford pronunciation and e the souud ot a. With
old farmers and the parson he was ever a wonderful
man, keeping the former always well
posted up in politics, and chat; and sutiering
the latter to beat him invariably at checkers.
The old ladies too. delighted greatly, of a Friday
evening, to see him pacing along towards
their doors, and such an event enacted an unusual
stir in the household. Jeuny was allowed
to put on her Sunday frock, and the vene-"
rated china left its old staud in tho cupboard.
Little Johnny too, was indulged with a clean
face and his best jacket, and he was sure to lay
in a small stock of favor to serve hiin at school
the coming woek. He was therefore quite officious
io hand the cuke to the master, and listening
with unabated attention to his often rehearsed
stories.
At Sunday meoting the schoolmaster, al
ways excepting the parson and the deacon, was
the most important |>ersonage present. He
would sit on a tombstone in the church yard, ,
before service, with u crowd of gaping rustics i
round him, all listening to his wondrous tales i
and wondering at the extent of his knowledge, i
How many miraculous stories he told ol the <
goblins his great grandmother saw dancing in '
the moonlight, and his uncle was well acquain- j
ted with the man who saw the jawbone of Jo- <
nah's whale, ile loved too, to speak of the :
little frolics he used in his youth to bo guilty i
of. What a gallant he used to be, and how
folks used to plaguo hi.u about the pretty little
who lived at the foot of the bill. i
All these faculties made him quite a fine fel* |
low with some, and a miracle with others of I
his neighbors; and it was not till after a long <
life, devoted to that single vocation, more loved
tor Is simplicity, than envied tor its possessions,
or feared for its amtiilion; long after the dust of
his grave had been leveled by the foot of time;
that this humble pioneer of the youthful intellect
was ceased to be rememberod for his usefulness
and benevolence of his hedrt. And
where a better station ? The toils of the ambitious
and the struggles of the great but end
in the j^rave; and few leave memorials whiyh t
triumph over the efforts of time. Surely the
labors of that life, bo\ er humble,are the noblest,
which are connected with no recollection
of having retarded the progress of the human
idiikI which only have beeir devoted to lt^im-'
provcment, which have led the soul onward in
its great researches after truth, fand taught the
intellect to soar into those broad fields of intel
lectual light, where a thousand influences beaming
virtue and happiness, *tud tbe^ cloudless
skies of science and philosophy. How much
better to he thought of, for the piety of our
example, even in a narrow sphere, which we
have faithfully tilled up with useful labors, thau
to be remembered as possessed of great abilities
and opportunities, but as great thoegfr striking
crimes! To have it said as the wayfarer passes
by our mouldering tomb, "There rests the
instructor of my youth?he who let my mind
into the glory of her existence; who gave her
the birfh of reason; and learned her that knowledge,
while it is power, is ah^virtue and
happiness."* Reflections, accompanying the

A Rkhamcablk Story.?The Presbyterian,
a religious paper, published somewhere at the
North, tells the following extraordinary story:
"A young man in the township of Wjyraaw,
Genesee county, N. Y., was engajpdjncttting
wood; and in felling a tree it became* eotaugled
in the branches of other trees. While endeavoting
to disentangle the tree and bring it to
the ground, it suddenly fell, and splitting ait the
butt, he was caught by the toot, arid tbus'suspended
with his head downward. In tb(p condition
fhe cried for help, until his voice was
gone and his strength weli uigh exhausted.?
LI is axe had fallen, and he could barely touch
the end of the helve with his linger. He labored
to reach it, but itwakall tri rain. Could
he but get that, he could extricatel himself.
But alas! it was beyond his reach. What was
he to do 1 He bad cried for help until he could
no longer speak. He was iu the woods* threequarters
of a mile from any human betnjrTFhe
weather was extremely cold, and he was kanging
with his head downward, suffering extreme
pain, not only in the foot which was caught iu
the cleft of the tree, but also in the head,
caused by bis unnatural {Msition and the great
exertion he bad put forth to be heard. Death
now seemed inevitable, unless be could be immediately
extricated. There was no alternative.
Summoning all his courage, therefore,
he came to the determination to make th$ attempt
to cut off bis leg; and should be succeed
in doing this, there was but a fafnthope
that lie would thereby save his life, for there
was no surgeon at baud to take up the arteries
?no kind friend near to bind up the mangled
limb. It seemed more than probable, therefore,
that he would bleed/to death.gj But what
will a man not do to save fas life. He hid in
his pocket an old dull knife. With this, be cut
off the legs of his boot and stocking,"and then
uujointed his own ankles.
This being done, he crawled to} his dinner
basket, and binding up the stomp with a napkin
which bad covered his dinner, he started upon
hands and knees through the soow for home.
When ho arrived within a few rods of hb
house, he was discovered by some friends, who
hastened to his relief. Hb strength was now
exhausted. Help had4come and he fainted.
He was borne to the house and resuscitated.
Now comes the curious facts: and I will hero
say that the gentleman who related the facts to
me was present and went for the surgeon. *Go,'
said tho wounded man, 'go immediately to the
woods and cut out my foot, forit .is suffering
most excruciating pain.' They did so, and
brought the foot to the house. He then said it
was cold, and wished it putjnto* warn* waters
This request was also granted. . It was not ia
tbo room in which the unfortunate man lay,
yet ns soon as the foot touched the water he
cried out, saying, ?It burns me; the water is
too hot!' Upon putting the hand Into.the
water it was found even so. The water was
then made cooler, and he was satisfied. I wiU
also add that a surgeon was obtained from Be
