ЯВ1.ЕСГ VALE. One Alsbl'a I'itkel Unty. Luther Kingston aud Frank Milton Vcre chums in one of the Maine colleges' nud they had noarly completed their coarse, «•hell their studies «-ere interrupted by the reverberations of the rebel cahiion planted about Fort Sumter. “ War has commen¬ ced," said line, " and wo alo tied tn bonks under the eyes of pruffs mid tutors.” “Alus! just BO," replied the other, “ why could they lint have waited n few months lunger? 1 would then have given up uiy promised Kuropcnn tour und have gone South in- «lead, with knapsack and musket.” A day or two after came the call for troops. The whole college was in com¬ motion. 11 I must go, und will," said Kingston. ■' lint not without me," an¬ swered bis friend. They expected oppo¬ sition from the president and faculty; but old and young were alike filled with en¬ thusiastic devotion for the old flag ol the republic und for those sterling principles nnd great ideas of which it is the emblem. The friends expressed their desires and intentions. So far from meeting with any opposition from the I’rcsident, the venera¬ ble patriot praised them for their determi¬ nation, amt encouraged them to honor themselves and their college by faithfully doing their whole duty as patriot soldiers. He gave them prayers and hade them Hod speed, when, full ol hope and determina¬ tion they lull the college gates. The friends obtained commissions in tho same company ils lieutenants, Kingston being the first and Milton the second. In this matter, as in many others, Frank gave precedence Ul bis friend for no otl.sr iui>- son than this : Luther had a sister of such transcendent beauty and incomparable per¬ fections (in Frank’s estimation,) that he regarded all connected with her. by ties of blood, as belonging to n superior race of beings. Wo Jo not profess an entire agree¬ ment with Frank Milton in his estimate of Lucy Kingston's character; hut she was eortaiuly u fine girl ; young, amiable, beau¬ tiful and refined ; und strange os it may seem, her opinion of Frank exactly eoi res¬ ponded with his opinion of her, so that most of tlicir disputes, seldom very serious, arose oat of protestations against over es¬ timates. They loved each other ns only the young and hopeful can love, but Lucy made no attempt to keep Frank within call when the trumpets were sounding. She told liiin to go while the tears wore in her eyes; she embroidered a white silken ban¬ ner lor ilia company, and wo happened to know, from a perfectly “ relinblo gentle¬ man,” that when the orator who was to make tire presentation speech, desired to bo •• crammed," site told him to say that the donors of that white Hug would rather it should become the shrond of its bearers, or that it should return oil blackened with powder smoke, riddled with bullets, ami stained with tlio blood of those they loved most dearly, than to sco it again waving over unharmed but dishonored soldiers," and much того to the samo purpose, out of which llie orator above mentioned — the village lawyer — manufactured certain pe¬ riods, glowing with eloquence, which would have caused immense enthusiasm, had not the effect boon marred by the too frequent introduction oftho words “gentlemen of tho jury," by mistake. Lucy was a noble, brave girl; she meant all she said; and if any soldier entered tho field full of llmt high and chivalrous cour¬ age which love and patriotism combined atone can inspire, that soldier was Frank Milton. Tho long days in camp, before starting for tlio seat of war, were weary enough, but at length the order came to inarch. — When llie parting cumo, Lucy said noth¬ ing at all about “ coming back with your shield or on it,” because she line! no tiiuo to “get up” anything in tho dramatic Hue, and besides she had fotgotteu all about those old Spartan women, who used to say such things hocauso they aro made without hearts, or had thoir hearts hardened by a peculiar and disgusting process before tlioy arrived at maturity. She only said : 11 Dear Frank, l liopo this war will soon be over, and that you will cornu back to us nil safe. Yon and I lovo each other just tho same while we ore separated. — Hood bye, Frank, good byo, keep with Luther all the time, flood bye, my own dear Frank.” And elm wound her arms about bin neck and nestled closely to his heart and wept there — good honest N ow England girl as she was, nnd is. Frank could not stand this. Ilia own cyos wero swimming; ho left tlio house al¬ most repenting of iiis patriotic resolution. A great crowd was about tlio depot whore the regiment wna to fake Hie cars. A by¬ stander said in a gruff, coarse voice : “ There goes a pretty soldier; he is cry¬ ing because lie has got to leave his moth¬ er.” .Said Frank, turning nbout, " You are a snivelling coward, or you wouldn't have said that.” " Onward inn I ?" said the bully np- proaehing with clenched fist. “ Yes, u coward,” said Frank, and lie gave tlio ruffian's nose so hearty a twist (but ho shrieked with pain, while tlio by- ' slanders said “ That’s right,” Alter this Frank felt better; his spirits revived, and lie went on Iiis way rejoicing. Luther and Frank loved each other bet¬ ter than brothers generally do, and tlioy never tired of onoh othor's society; on duty and off', they were as much together ns cir¬ cumstances would permit ; they mum illy confided in each other ; and when Frank lingered on, gricviouely wounded, for many days, tormented with thirst nnd fever by dav, and feel tlio marrow of his bones grow cold when the chill night wind swept over him — perhaps Iiis bones still lay bleaching on tlio field. All images of horror forced themselves into tlio mind oftho wnlolier; lie could not shako them off, and ho began to repent of Iiis kindness to his fellow-sol¬ dier. His thoughts wore interrupted by tlio sudden, quick crack of half a doscu rifles from tho enemy's lines, lar away; but, hearing nothing more, lie soon conclu¬ ded that tho rebel pickets had given an alarm without cause, and resumed bis watching and Iiis thinking, lie lighted a match, and examining his watch, fonnd that tho relief might be cxpeclctl in hulf tin hour. Н» hud just rettfrned the watch toils place, when lie heard 4 rust ling among some bushes only n few paces in advance- lie leveled Iiis rifle and eoeked it before saying— “ Who goes there ?” “ И you aro a Union sentry, a friend,” was tlio answer. “ Halt, and give the countersign," said tho captain. “ That's more than I can do ; but call your guard, there’s only two of us — one а sometimes read over Luther's letters to deserter, tiie other a Union prisoner just his sister, lie wondered how his comrade I got nwuy.” uld address an angel precisely ns though she was only an ordinary iiiiiiinu being. One thing only, marred tho happiness of the friends; they were comparatively idle, and tlioy wanted notion I tho mere routine of camp duties pnlleil upon them, nnd they refrained from complaint only because tlioy had sense enough to under¬ stand that tlio discipline of the camp was a necessary preparation for successful ac¬ tion upon ti n flelil. It was July, and an advnnco was tn bo made. Both of our friends wore full of joy. With banners flying and drums beat¬ ing the army marched out toward Manas¬ sas. Tiie - regiment was in tile thick¬ est оГ llie fight ; in tlio midst of the confu¬ sion of I lint terrible day the companions became separated from each other, and ninny ol them wholly disorganized ; the company to which our friends belonged formed no exception. When the istreat was ordered, Lieut. Kingston could not muster more than twenty men; Milton was no where to ho found. “ Who knows anything of Lieut. Mil- ton ?" said Luther. " I saw him try t) lift up the captain a minute after lie fell,” said ono from the ranks, “ but it wasn’t no use tlio Osptsin was dead. After that ho waited to give one of them dyin' rebels some water, and whether lie's killed or ton's tuore'n I know — but one or t’other.” The next day, in his report to tho Colonel, Kingston named Lieut, Milton among the missing. Tiie term for which tiie two friotids had enlisted had expired, but Luther could not make up his mind to return homo alone, and lie applied for and obtained n captain's commission in a new regiment, lint no movement ot importance wns made and tho young captain, dwelling upon the loss of iiis comrade, became depressed in spirits; lie felt lonely and desolntc and oftentimes expressed a wish that he might exchange places with Frank, who ho fully believed, was under tiie sod of tlio battle-field. When a forward movement was made, Kingston's regiment was in the advnnco, and his own company was derailed for picket duty, on tlio dny when they eaine in sight of tiie enemy's line. The long march, llie necessity for action duting the opera¬ tion f f laying out the camp and pitching the tents had partially removed tho young officer's malutielioly, hut it returned witli tenfold force niter nightfall, when the thought would come that he wns drawing nearer to the spot which had been made snered to him by Iiis great bereavement, lie rejoiced when Iiis duty called him to такс the rounds of the picket post, and ho wnlkcd rapidly in the chill moonlight night from station to station, exchanging n kind word with each sentinel, lie had The captain was still suspicious, and ta¬ king Iiis revolver from Iiis belt, ascertain¬ ed that it was ready fur use beforo lie said: “ Advance, Г will look at you mysell.” You will find us all right,” said one of tiie men as lie advanced slowly from tho bushes. “ Our friends over on tile hills gave us a taste of tlicir quality leas limn hulf an hour ago, by sending a volley of rifle bullets over our heads. We hope you will be more glad to see us than they wore to have us come. In tiie name of hospi¬ tality and good fellowship, where aro you? It’s so long since I have seen tlio face of a true mail that I'm hungry lor a good long look. All, there you arc, and — whai! Lu¬ ther, mv old chuiu. God bless you! Ilow is Lucy ?” It was Frank, snro enough, rather dirty and dilapidated in the matter of costume, ami soincwlint grizzly about tho face, but not in much worso condition, bodily, than wlieu Kingston lust saw him, Frank's story was a short one. He had been wounded and taken prisoner while in the act of giving to a wounded rebel a drink of water from his canteen. Iiis wound was not serious, and ho had boon removed from place to place, until an op- 1, qrtuiiity should occur of sending him to Iticllinnluj ; ho had nauideuully met tho very soldier to whom he had given tho wa¬ ter upon the battlo-ficid ; ho had argued or ridiculed Iiis treasoD out of him, and they hud managed to come together to pay thoir respects to tho stars nnd stripes. All llmt Frank wanted at that particular moment was a couple of clean shirts, a decent suit of clothes, and a free ticket home. Tim next day, preceded by a telegraphic message, the frieuds, having obtained a fur¬ lough, started from Washington. They ar¬ rived home in good time, and in one short moiitli alter the performance of his one night's picket duty, Cupt.’ Kingston was busy superintending the distribution of cards, fastened together, in pairs, by knots of narrow wiiito satin ribbon.

Communioeted by n Teacher, Before marking down a method for con¬ ducting я class in this branch, we will consider some of its objects. 1st. To give the pupil* a thorough knowledge of tho principles of Arithme¬ tic. lu Written Arithmetic the pupil fra- qucntly performs the operations mechani¬ cally, without understanding them, whilo in Mental, if properly taught, he seea clearly through all the principles involved. 2nd. T o qualify him w pursue tho Higher Mathematics intelligently. If he understands Arithmetic the study of them will be a most pleasing, and generally, not a difficult task. ftrd. To effect a higher degree of шоп- tal discipline. This lb its lending ob* ject. Not so much to apply it to the pe¬ cuniary affairs of life, nor so much to be¬ come profound niiilhcmatioian, but to make correct thinkcri. If Mental Arithmetic has such great ends to accomplish, that method which subjects tho mind to the most severe pro¬ cess of reasoning, ia the method. In tho first place, then, the teacher should have bis class to understand that in teaching this branch, his aim is not simply to gel the answers to the problems, or to get through the hook m a certain time, but to have tho class master it. That hi* plan ia not to teach superficially — not to akim the surface of the Pierian spring — but to fathom the depth of the ooean and briag up those precious gema which entrance-na¬ tions. Let the teacher read the problem once, slowly and distinctly ; then call on any member of the class to state and solve it, and giro the conclusion. Should he fail in any particular, vix. : in atating th* question precisely, in analysing it system¬ atically, or in giving the conclusion cor¬ rectly, let him be sharply critioiaed ; then assign the problem to some one else, and if he disposes of it properly, then the class is ready for another question, and if not, pass it on. If no one in the class can demonstrate it, the teaoher may throw a little light on the darkest points; then re¬ quire the class to consider it a part of th* lesson for the next recitation, or if the class scorns to be languishing, let hitu solve one or two problems. This will bo eou raging. It will be seen that this method requires a full comprehension ol the example to bo solved; that it admits of no other process than thnt of commencing at the right place, proceeding through the proper steps, and arriving at the true conclusion ; and that it requires each pupil to think for himself. Singing In Scheel Wc insist upon (he introduction of mu¬ sic into our common schools aa a regular study, because wc believe it to be of the highest importance. Thotc teachers who have already, judiciously, introduced it in their schools, apeak of its utility in the highest terms of praiac, and recommend it aa one of the mo.t rjfvinl auxiliarin in school government. It promotes har¬ mony, love aud good humor among the pupils, which every one admits, are essen¬ tial requisites in a good school. In all the schools which we have visited, we invaria¬ bly found, that where singing was taught, the best order prevailed ; while, where it was neglected, wc found the pupils dull and uninteresting- It is the dnty of the teacher, to make his school sn in¬ teresting place— t place where children love to go; if he fails in doing this, he cannot succeed in establishing a good school. Children love to hear others sing and still more they love to ting themselves. What method to make the school interes¬ ting, better than to make it a rulo to sing two or threo timea t day, or when it may bo found necessary ? Are your pupil* dull or careless in their studies? Are they out of humor ? Tell them to lay a- side thoir books a few minutes, for the purpose of singing a lively piece, aud see what an effect it will have. Their faces b.ighten up in a moment ; all are anxious to sing, and sing they will with good ear. neatness. After they have finished sing- iog, tail them now to get to work, and they IC.U study. They are enlivened. Music hss a magic charm upon ohildren, & a song will never fail to be beneficial. The teaches himself will feel better of It. We apeak from experience. “Swear not at all.” Lay aside all by. urds whioh seem harmleaa ia them- selves. Suoh word* not only savor of pro¬ fanity, but they are always niigiaiiimaSi cal and inelegant. A true gentiemaw, ora true lady, or a Christian scholar, i by- word»!
