THE LITTLE OLD COTTAGE. 
BY WH. B. C. KNOWLES. 
There’s a little old cottage, just under the hill, 
Where the jessamine clambers up over the pane,— 
Where a rivulet, turning a little boy’s mill, 
Winds along thro’ the garden, the meadow and plain. 
You will listen, my friend, I am sure that you will, 
While I praise up your cottage just under the hill. 
Though the roof is old-fashioned, and covered with moss, 
And the windows are small, and the casements are old, 
Yet for comfort, and pleasure, you’ll suffer a loss, 
If you make an exchange for a palace of gold. 
You will miss it, my friend, I am sure that you will, 
If you sell the old cottage, just under the hill. 
Though a sweep and a bucket hang over the well, 
And a homely old curb is reflected below ; 
Yet a draught ©f the water, I’ll venture to tell, [cold. 
Makes your lips aud your teeth, fairly ache with the 
You’ll regret it my friend, I am sure that you will, 
When you've left the old cottage just under the hill. 
Though the garden has neither a fence nor a gate. 
Nor an arbor raised up in the most approved style ; 
Yet the time-honored creepers, though now out of date, 
Are the place to repose in the shadow awhile. 
You will miss it, my f iend, I am sure that you will, 
If you sell the old cottage, just under the hill. 
Though the roof is old-fashioned, and covered with moss, 
And the windows are small, and the casements are old; 
Yet for pleasure and comfort, youbl suffer a loss, 
If you make an exchange for a palace of gold. 
You will prize it it, my friend, I am certain you will, 
When you’ve sold the old cottage, just under the hill.

WOULDN'T BE A FARMER, 
BY A YOUNG FARMER. 
“ My dear husband,” exclaimed my wife, as 
I entered the house, with my face and frock 
aud trowsers all bespattered with mud, after 
finishing a long line of ditch,—“ if I knew as 
much as you do, and could command the wa¬ 
ges of a good journeyman, in the city, at seven 
different trades, as you can, I would not be 
digging and delving on a farm, one day in the 
ditch aud the next day in the compost heap— 
I would not be a farmer, I assure you." 
“ Why, wife, do you think it is so dishon¬ 
orable, or degrading, to work on a farm — to 
make ditches and compost ? Who lives more 
independently than we ? True, our income is 
small; but we “ owe no man anything,” save 
a debt, which I never expect, fully, to dis¬ 
charge— love. We always have as much 
spending-money as is needful for our comfort 
and respectability; and if you ever wish for 
anything in the line of furniture or dress, you 
know we need not run in debt for it.” 
“I am not complaining about our circum¬ 
stances ; but I thiuk you could engage in 
some other business that would not be so in¬ 
tolerably dirty. Let them dig that are not 
capable of engaging in occupations of a neater 
order. There is so much dirty work on a 
farm, that I would not be a farmer, at any 
rate.” 
“ Well, I’ll scrub up, and to-morrow we 
will go to friend L.’s, (a merchant who trades 
from six to eight thousand dollars in a year,) 
and make that long-anticipated visit.” 
“ L. can spend little or no time in visiting ; 
he must be at his store, early and late. He 
finds it very difficult to get a trusty clerk.— 
They are heedless about the real price of arti¬ 
cles, and often forget to enter many articles 
which their customers have purchased on 
credit. What little time he did find to visit 
with us, was spent in telling of embarrass¬ 
ments—of accounts which he must lose—of 
losses on certain kinds of goods—of the inces¬ 
sant perplexities and vexations in trading 
with a certain class of customers, and of a 
score of other grievances, which an independ¬ 
ent farmer knows nothing of.” We are again 
seated in our own quiet home, talking of our 
visit, &c. 
“ I would not be a merchant, on any con¬ 
sideration,” says my wife. 
“ Why, I’m sure that’s not a very unpleas¬ 
ant, dirty business, to measure off lace, and 
calico, and silk, for the ladies.” 
“ Ah, if L. had not unfolded to us so many 
vexations and uncertainties, that I never even 
thought of before in the mercantile business, I 
should think it would be well enough for us 
to engage in it. But, if it is as he says—and 
I am not disposed to question it—I don’t 
look upon it with any more approbation than 
I do upon farming. If there were not so 
much dirty work upon a farm, I should like 
it much better ;—still, I think you could do 
better, and not labor as hard, at some trade, 
as journeyman, or foreman.” 
We next visited a friend who is foreman in 
a machine-shop. He commands fair wages, 
but complains of close confinement, and when 
he stops work, “ it is all out-goes, and no in¬ 
come ; while you farmers,” says he, “ can 
spend a week, and your income will not be di¬ 
minished.” 
We are now seated at our own evening 
board, loaded with smoking cakes, and butter 
and honey, and peaches, served up in cream 
and sugar, and such like. 
“ I am real hungry,” says wife ;—“ I did 
not eat half a dinner.” 
“ Well, truly, the fault was all your own, 
for cousin spread an uncommonly rich table.” 
“ She did, indeed, as she always does ; and 
with her, everything goes and comes as though 
it cost nothing. But, when I heard her tell 
how much they were obliged to pay for this 
little article of food, and how much for that, 
—things that we have in abundance, and 
which cost little or nothing,—I thought it 
■was too expensive eating much. It is a mys¬ 
tery to me how they manage to get along, and 
pay such high prices for every little thing, 
which we never think of reckoning,—and such 
high rents and exorbitant taxes! I should 
like to live in the city, if it were not so ex¬ 
pensive living. One cannot have a cup of 
cream, or a pitcher of milk, or an egg, or a 
little basket of fruit, without paj ing the high¬ 
est price for them. And, more than that, 
cousin complains, as much as I do sometimes, 
about her husband’s dirty clothes. It does 
seem as if mechanics need not get their clothes 
so dirty, as she tells for.” 
“ Well, cousin himself dislikes the business, 
and wants to get on a farm. Suppose we sell 
him ours, and 1 take his place ? Or, we 
might go into the jewelry business.” 
“ Mercy on me! I don’t think much of 
either of those occupations. I should hate to 
have all our capital in silver aud gold, where 
a midnight robber could carry off all we have 
and leave us pennyless. I once thought it a 
very desirable occupation ; end, indeed, 1 
have not changed my mind now, if it were not 
so hazardous. I did think, before cousin W. 
bad his shop robbed, that one might justly 
envy their station ; they always looted so 
neat and clean—not a wrinkle in their bosom 
or collar, and their clothes were always as 
unsoiled as the pure, white snow-bank.” 
“ That’s the way our minister always looks 
—as if he had just stepped out of the drawer, 
or band-box. You ought to have married a 
minister, my dear.” 
“ Anything but a minister's wife! I would 
rather live by my needle, than to be lashed 
with everybody’s evil tongue, as they nearly 
all are.” 
“ Suppose we sell our little farm, and put 
the avails on interest ? We could then have 
from four to five hundred dollars a year—over 
one dollar per day—aud not make ditches nor 
compost.” 
“If we could only have some good place, 
where we would be sure that our money would 
be in safe hands, and we could have the inter¬ 
est just when we want it, I should like it.— 
But, then, there would be another difficulty; 
we couldn’t have our home, our fruit, and all 
the luxuries that we uow have. We must 
either board—and that 1 never could consent 
to do ; or we must have a hired girl, and this 
and that, in order to keep up appearances; 
and I guess we should be under the necessity 
of drawing some on the principal, of our es¬ 
tate. I should not like that move, at all.” 
“ AYe can’t keep our candy and eat it too. 
My dear, how many days do you suppose I 
spend with you, in going to visit, and to pla¬ 
ces of amusement, &c., during the year ? One 
day in a week ?” 
“ Quite as much as that, I should think. I 
don’t know, after all, as we could situate our¬ 
selves any more desirably than we now are. 
I guess you would not find as much leisure to 
read and write, if you were in any other busi¬ 
ness.” 
“ Well, do you suppose we should be any 
more respectable, or wiser, or better, or enjoy 
life any better, if we were engaged in any 
other business?” 
“ I have no idea that we should. Why are 
you so discontented with our circumstances ?" 
“ Why, my wife often says, * she would not 
be a farmer.' ” 
“ Well, (blushing,) I’ll retract that; aud I 
must confess that there is no class of citizens 
so apparently happy and independent as the 
farmer.” 
“ By him the whole creation’s fed : 
Of him the merchant seeks his bread ;— 
His bounteous hand feeds every thing, 
From the poor beggar to the king 1” 
An Old Man’s Secret.— An old man 
struggled through great difficulties without 
repining, and met with much opposition with¬ 
out even betraying the least impatience. An 
intimate friend of his, who highly admired 
those virtues which he thought impossible to 
imitate, one day asked the old man if he could 
communicate his secret of being always easy ? 
“ Yes,”replied the old man, ‘I can teach my 
secret with great facility; it consists in noth¬ 
ing more than making a right use of my eyes.” 
His friend begged him to explain himself. 
“ Most willingly,” returned he ; “in what¬ 
ever state 1 am, I first of all look up to heaven, 
and remember that my principal business is 
to get there 1 then look down on the earth 
and call to mind how small a space I shall 
occupy in it when I come to be interred; I 
then look abroad on the world and observe 
what multitudes there are in all respects more 
unhappy than myself. Thus I learn where 
all our cares must end, and how very little rea¬ 
son I have to repine or complain.” 
Prime ministers and presidents resemble 
laborers tempted by high wsgts to undertake 
difficult, dangerous and deleterious employ¬ 
ments. 
THE FIRST KIND WORD. 
BY GENEIVEVE. 
“ Was your lesson difficult?” kindly inquir¬ 
ed a young teacher of a ragged and uncouth 
looking lad of about ten years, who was one of 
a class which had just finished a recitation— 
“Was your lesson difficult., my boy?” The 
boy, thus addressed, raised his large gray eyes 
with an inquiring look, as if to satisfy himself 
that words, breathed in so sweet a tone, were 
intended for him ; but as he met his teacher’s 
gaze they fell, and drooping his head, he fore¬ 
bore to reply. His teacher, perceiving that 
he felt the rebuke, and deeming it sufficient, 
said no more and dismissed the class. This 
lad, Johnny by name, was the son of poor par¬ 
ents, both of whom were habituated to the use 
of ardent spirits, and, of course, grossly neg¬ 
lected their children, beating and abusing them, 
as their excited passions prompted ; seldom, 
and perhaps never, letting fall from their lips 
a word of kindly interest even, much less of 
love. Johnny being of a mischievous temper¬ 
ament was the recipient of unbounded harsh¬ 
ness ; but to this disposition he owed the priv¬ 
ilege of attendance at the village school, whith¬ 
er he was sent to “ be out of the way.” This 
was the first day he had been under the care of 
the present teacher, whom 1 will call Miss Ai¬ 
mer. Johnny possess! d a quick and retentive 
mind, and when he chose to apply himself, 
could stand at the head of his class. But his 
half learned lessons came oftener than his per¬ 
fect ones, and always brought him a severe 
reprimand aud often a chastisement, which 
seemed to have no other effect than to harden 
and debase him. Growing up under such ad¬ 
verse influence at home aud at school, he be¬ 
came a morose and ill tempered boy, disliked 
and shunned by his school mates, on whom he 
sought to revenge himself by all the petty an- 
noyaucees his fertile brain could devise. Such 
was the lad when he became a pupil of Miss 
Aimer. She had rebuked him for his first 
error gently, as was her wont, and trusting to 
the potency of such reproof dismissed him 
from her mind ; but not so easily were the kind 
words forgotten by the poor boy, to whom so 
gentle a tone was so rare as to awaken aston¬ 
ishment. It fell among the rude thoughts and 
feelings of his heart as a flower among thorns. 
It was to his ear, that was wont to catch only 
the harsh tone of unkindDess, as a strain of 
sweet melody after a jarring discord. Oh! 
why do we so often withhold that which it 
costs so little to give,, aud yet may prove such 
a treasure to the receiver? 
But to the story. Miss Aimer lingered at 
the school room till all the pupils had left,and 
was walking slowly home, when this, to her 
trifling event of the day, was brought to her 
mind by observing Johnny sitting by the road¬ 
side, apparently waiting lor her. When she 
came to him he rose, and offering her a nose¬ 
gay of violets, said : Please, madam, will 
you accept of these ?” 
“ Certainly, Johnny, they are very sweet, 
and the first I have seen this season ; I love 
them dearly, and you, too, for bringing them 
to me.” 
She had taken the boy’s hand in hers, de¬ 
spite its disgusting appearance, and as she fin¬ 
ished speaking his eyes were uplifted to hers 
with the same expression as in the morning, 
and a tear was making a furrow through the 
dirt that begrimmed his face. “Johnny, what 
is the matter ?” asked his teacher in surprise. 
“ What you said,” falteringly uttered the boy ; 
“ do you love me ?” “ Indeed I do,” was Miss 
Aimer’s reply ; “ and something must trouble 
you; can I do any thing for you?” “Oh! 
you have done more for me than any body,— 
for nobody ever loved me before ; but I 
thought you did when you didn’t scold me for 
not getting my lesson,” said Johnny ; but I’m 
a dreadful boy ; you don’t know it all.” “Well, 
tell me all,” answered his teacher, touched by 
the earnestness of his manner. So saying, she 
led him to a large stone, and bade him sit by 
her there, aud as he unfolded his tale of wrong 
done, as well as received, she mingled her tears 
with his, which flowed so freely. They sat 
long, and ere they parted she had given rest 
to his eager heart by promising ever to be his 
friend. She told him, too, the tale of a Sav¬ 
ior’s love for such as he, and bade him seek 
Jesus for his friend that he might always have 
one to love him. The next morning Johnny 
was missed from his place at school, and at 
the close of school Miss Aimer called at the 
rude hut that had been his home, to learn the 
cause of his absence, and to her surprise found 
it vacated. Whither the people had gone no 
one knew. This was a sore disappointment to 
her, for she longed to do good, and this had 
seemed an unusual opportunity. But she 
could not “see the end from the beginning,” 
nor thought that the little she had already 
done had taken so deep root as to survive, 
amid the opposing influences that must now 
surround poor Johnny. Many years after 
this, (fifteen I think,) Miss Aimer was visiting 
far away from the scene of her early labors, 
and during her visit attended a meeting for 
teachers. Remarks were offered, and experi¬ 
ence related by many laborers in the good work 
of instructing youth, and at length a gentle¬ 
man rose and expressed a wish to say a word 
to the band of teachers on the power of kind¬ 
ness, and in the course of his remarks related 
the story I have given above, closing with 
these words : “lam that lad, and those were 
the first words of kindness 1 ever remember to 
have had addressed to me. They have been 
my talisman, my guiding star through life.— 
They have made me what I am, and God help¬ 
ing me, it shall be the aim of my life torewaid 
the friexd of my youth, in the only way in my 
power, namely, by living so as to spread by 
example and precept the influence of the divine 
principle of love which actuated her.” Miss 
Aimer listened to this recital with an agitated 
lieart, for she recognized in the speaker the 
little Johnny whom she had never forgotten. 
She sought an interview, and learned his his¬ 
tory. How, after leaving his early home, the 
love of virtue, which she had aroused iu his 
bosom, was ever leading him away from his 
evil courses, aud urging him to a higher life. 
Ilis parents soon after died, and he was 
taken as an errand-boy into a wealthy family, 
aud allowed the opportunity of altendiiig 
school. He at length sought other employ¬ 
ment, in which he could increase his earnirgs, 
all of wh ch he carefully hoarded, till he ob¬ 
tained a sum sufficient to enable him to attend 
a higher school. Thus he went on, alternate¬ 
ly laboring and studying, till he was qualified 
for a teacher, in which employment he had 
been for several years engaged. Need we say 
to any teachers who may read this, “ Go thou 
and do likewise ?” All may not meet with so 
speedy a reward as did Miss Aimer ; but let 
us remember that the time of retribution is 
not yet, and if we labor faithfully, we may 
hope that the guerdon shall yet be ours to find 
that some poor soul has been rescued from 
degradation by our endeavors, to shine forev¬ 
er a star in the Savior’s Goronet.

GENESEE MODEL SCHCOL FOR BOYS 
Rev. Wm. H. Dk Puy, Principal, 
This Institution has been recently established for the 
purpose of demonstrating the utility and feasibility of 
that system of general education which combines 
PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL TRAINING. 
Ample grounds have been provided for the School, and 
are now being ornamented ; suitable and costly buildings, 
including a Gymnasium and Bathing House, have been 
erected and furnished ; and extensive arrangements have 
been made for the most thorough instruction in each of 
the three groat departments of education numod above. 
The habits of the pupils will be most sacredly guarded, 
the plan of tho school being that of a carefully regulated 
Christian Family. Tho Teachers reside in the building 
with tho pupils, eating at the same table, and mingling 
with them at all hours of the day. 
The department of Physical Education will be under the 
immediate supervision ol an able and experienced physi¬ 
cian,—A. C. Campbell, M. D.,—who has recently pur¬ 
chased the entire property, and who will spare no ex¬ 
pense necessary to accomplish fully the ends proposed in 
the establishment of the Institution. 
Extract from a letter of Rev. J. Cumming 3 , D. D., Pres¬ 
ident of Genesee College : 
“I regard the ‘Genesee Model School for Boys,’ as 
presenting a practical realization of the only true theory 
of Education, aud as worthy of the attention of all who 
would secure to the young the benefits of a well-balanced 
harmonious development of their powers.” 
The “ Goneseo Model School for Boys ” is a bold step in 
advance. It proposes a radical reform. And what it 
proposes to do we have no doubt it will do, as the men 
who have it in charge are experienced teachers—com¬ 
petent. thorough, enorgetic.—[Rev. Wm. Hosmer, Ed. N.

wanted by ordering them early, as we shall not be able 
to make more than 100 of them this season. List year 
we did not supply the demand by a large number, being 
unable to get them out in time.
