MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
(fchuatimiaL 
For the Rural New-Yorker. 
THE PEOPLE’S COLLEGE. 
To place within the reach of every youth 
of our State, tho moans of obtaining an 
education, has long been a cherished object, 
ADDRESS 
Adopted for General Circulation, by the Now York State 
Teachers’ Association, at their recent Convention, held 
at Rochester, N. Y. 
Teachers op New York : 
We would speak a few serious words to 
you. On every side of us we see evidences 
of progression. In agriculture, in mechani¬ 
cal inventions,in theaccumulation of wealth, 
we see the fruits of the progressive spirit. 
But is it not true, do you not know, that 
arid ono toward which much has been done. Education in this State is not proportion 
But yet a want is felt, a vacancy exists, ately advancing ? We state what wo be-

by the son of the poor man, whose means

“We call, but they answer not again; 
Oh ! say, do they love us yet ?" 
One by ono this world full of prodigal 
children are returning to tho Father’s 
house : sometimes weary of tho mere husks 
of happiness on which earth foods her de¬ 
pendents as tho best she can offer them; 
sometimos willing to depart, yet reluctant 
to sovor tho ties that havo constituted ono 
of the highest earthly enjoyments; but 
ever, I believe, more ready to on ter on a 
solution of that sublime mystery each must 
unravel alono, than to repeat tho life now 
so nearly spent. 
I could never seo tho beauty of death till 
I looked on tho calm, serene face of-, 
in its last repose. Then tho feeling some¬ 
thing liko horror, which I had always expe¬ 
rienced in gazing on tho inanimate remains 
of mortality, was gone, and in its room, 
came a holy awe inspired by the presence 
of what was onco tho home of a spirit, now 
clothed in tho glorious drapery of immor¬ 
tality. Ah! wo may lay our cheek to tho 
clay-cold face of the loved ono and strive to 
rekindle there, by our own warmth, tho life 
that has gone out, and withdraw it again in 
bitter anguish ; there is no animation in the 
touch—it is insonsiblo to our yearning ef¬ 
fort—and the contact instead of quickening 
the dear ashes, onlv sends a chili through
