OUR SCHOOL. 'Br FLossr. We wcro a wild and uiischcvioiis set, ns ever plagued a mauler, when Willium Hunter Dr.U come among us, to act in the capacity o' school-master. But wildest, and most mis-chovious of us all was Margaret Norton, or Mag., os sho chose to he called. Mag was seventeen, had attended a seminary a year, and had como home to spend tho winter. From somo unaccountahlo whim, no ono knew what, sho had decided to ntlcrd tho district school. It could not bo that tho Tact of William Hunter's being young, and handsouio. had any effect on her, for no one, (save his old aunt, who was all in a flurry of expectation to sco tho ncphcw.lio had not seen sinco he was a lad of twelve,) had nover seen hint beforo fie entered tlio school room, Monday morning, with a load of books under his arm. It could not bo his good looks, I say; but ro-allyMuggio did look most bowitchingly handsome, (so wo thought) on tho first day of school. She was of medium height, fair complection, eyes of so dark a blue that at times they seemed almost black, and with the morriest glance in them that was ever seen; hair a light brown, with the t lightest tingo of gold, and hung in curls loosely on her shoulders, a dark crimson delaine dress and plain linen collar, with the neatest morocco boot, completed her costume. Wo sat together, Magand I, and if ever the spirit of mischief was embodied in a person that person was Maggie Xorton. Sho seemed to delight in tormonting Mr. lluntor, and constantly engaged in some piece of mischief which was so contrived nnd executed that none could tell who was tho inventor at least none who would be likely to tell, for Mng, was tho idol, the queen of our school. Wo all took pride in her genius, her fun-lov ing spirit, Sho it was who helped tho younger in their reading lessons, and the older in their Algebra and Lcgendre; wrote the Trench exercises for tire classical, and the compositions for tho uninitiated. Sho always had her lessons, and yet she was never seen to study. Fun and frolic seemed tho moving spring of her existence. Mr. Iluntcr was, as I have said, a young man and a handsome ono. Just freed from his studies, he had come to spend tho winter with his aunt, and doubtlessly thinking to replenish his purse, ho had engaged the vil lage' school. It was no easy task to keep us in order, as he found out before long, for the contctnptuons curl of bis upper lip vanished, anil a frown camo on his brow, in its stead. And tiuly we wero not a very prepossessing crowd, taken all in all ragged boys, and girls, not much better, from five years old up to twenty numbering fllty in all. Aud no wonder his brow darkened as ho saw the petty annoyance to which he was daily subjec ted, and tho perpetrators of which be could not, or did not choose to discover. Among our number was ono, the son ef a a wealthy man, who had lately camo ia our midst, and who on account of tho wealth of his father and his fine clothes, sought to im press us with tho idea of his own importance, and not leir.g over-stocked with brains, ho was made the butt of many a jest, which, innocent fellow, ho often never suspected. Now this young gentleman had arrived at the mature ago of eighteen, and being impressed with his own charms, both personal and mental, and discovering tho beauty of our queenly Mag., thought her a fit companion for himself and the only equal ho had in the the school. This afforded os infinite amusement, and tho moro so as we found that sho wa3 astonished if any mention was made of Arthur Clemens beforo our schjolmastcr. Why it should annoy her so, we nevor could sco. During tho recital ion of a class in Arith mctio, ono day, Mr. Arthur began in his grandiloquent stylo to explain an cxampio,but uiado a failure, and we all had a hearty laugh at his disconiGturo,Mng., as usual, taking the lead. Poor Arthur was terribly embarrassed not only with failure, but tho laugh which fol lowed it, and nt intermission, he askod Mag- gio why sho had laughed, adding, "you should bo moro charitable to us poor gentlemen." "Ah! Mr. Arthur, you know we ladies must have our joke," was tho reply. Tho "we la- diet" was so emphatic that even Mr. Arthur could not fail to sea the meaning, and turning on his heel, he left us in a roar of laughter-One of the younger boys wroto on a slip, o' paper, ''We isa gentleman, we is," and watel tng his opportunity, fastened it to tho back of Arthur's coat, who, unawiro of if, coul not imagine what they wcro so pleased about.-Of course no ono would accuso Maggie of d ing, or teaching others to do, so unlady-like a thing, of course not If during the winter a snowball should happen to knock the cap from off Arthur's head, or redden his nise, none would think Mag would be guilty of such a dcod. To be sure she Ado! been known to throw snowballs, or evon wash tho faces of some o the ugly boys, if she thought it neccessary. But these things grew to be of such frequent occurrence that Mr. Arthur found it necces sary to complain to Mr. Huntef, who forth wllb forbade any further such demonstrations, nnder the penalty ol being punished with a ferule, which Mr. Hunter had been known to Uso on moro than otje occasion with much se vority. Dnrlng recess of tho very same day of said declaration, as Arthur was very quietly endeavoring to overturn a sled with a little girl on it, Mag coolly nicked a snowball, and ' tho next moment Arthur was picking his cap from off tho ground. Mr, lluntor saw the cup full but did not see who throw tho ball, and immediately school boing called to order, demanded who was thtt offender. No one replied. Tho question waj repeated in no very gentle tono, ''Mag Norton," said a ragged boy, whoso rod fuce bore pretty strong ovidunco to a severe, washing it had received from Mag's hands not long before, and who rejoiced iu tho opportunity of being revenged. , "Mis3 Margaret, was it you?'1 asked the teachef. 'It was was tho quiet reply. "And was you awaro of what I said about that this morning?" We thought ho spoke anxiously, but if he dd, Mag did not appear to notice it, for she replied, 'You said that any ono who should throw a snowball, or othcrwiso tease Arthur Clemens should bo severely punishod on the hand with a ferule." Sho almost smiled as sho made this reply, and saw tho look of annoyance that crossed Mr. Hunter's (ace as ho heard it, Willingly would ho havo freed himself from enforcing tho command. But tho eyes of the whole school wero upon him and ho could rot, and with somo embarrassment ho called ber to tho floor, which command sho obeyed without hesitation, tho slightest smile playing around her rosy lip, as she held out her soft, white hand to receivo tho promised puuish-ment.Mr. Iluntcr took tho little hand iu his own and I am surd ho squeezed it moro than was at all necessary, and seeming to forgot what his duty was, looked first at tho hand nnd then in Miss Mag's eyes, till sho turned round with such a comical expression on her face that I laughed outright, nnd all the school joined. This appeared to arouse Mr. Hunter and with almost a sigh ho took up tho ferule and raised it, but the hand which held it, dropped to his sido as if nerveless. "Miss Margaret," ho began, "I do most earnestly regret the necessity of punishing you." "I know it," said Mag., coolly. At this answer, his face flushed crimson, and again ho raised the ferule, and again it re fused to si tiko tho dclicato hand. "Miss Norton," he began again, will you promise never" a decided Ehake of tho head nterrupted him. "Then I do not sco that I can avoid punish ing you according to tho rules of school," 'You can not," said Mag., quietly.-Again tho ferule was raised, and this timo it fell so!tly,gcntly upon the open palm once, twice, three times, and then he said, "you can got your seat." "How dreadful he did 6qucezo my hand," said Mag. to mo as sho took her seat, as if nothing had happened, Shortly after this our school closed, and soon after, Mr. Hunter loft us, but not before he had mado Mag promise to become his wife; so in the noxt autumr.on her 18th birthday they were married. A year after I visited them, nnd Mng. told mo that tho first time sho saw our teacher, she determined to marry, and so sho did. So much for our school. Courting the Widow and Marrying the Daugnter. A romantic affair camo off in Philadelphia last week, the particulars of which aro thus rclnted: Mrs.B ,a handsome and rich widoWi and tho mother of a pretty daughter of fifteen summers, by somo means became acquainted with n young carpenter, who, although a fine looking man, was in rather poor circumstances. Tho carpenter visited the lady's residence very frequently, gallanted her to church, tho theatres, &c, scarcely ever paying any marked attention to tho daughter, who sometimes ac companied them. Mad'tmo Rumor, with her thousand tongue!", soon noised it about that the carpenter nnd widow wcro about to bo made ono, and h'i3 friends congratulated him on tho prospoct ho had of so shortly being ablo to "hang up his bat." Tho widow, too, was complimontod by her acquaintances, and in fact, sho began to think that tho thing would take place, although the carpenter had not, ns yet, "popped tho question." With the craft naturally possessed by "widders," sho threw out aliint to her gallant at his next interview, and from the hint ho took it for granted that sho was nnylhing but averse to a matrimonial union with him. He thought it was time to act, and undeceive the lady, which ho certainly did, and astonished her too, for the next morning he eloped with the daughter! This sot all tho gossips in tho neighborhood going, and they one nnd all pronounced it "scandalous." The girl's mother, however, being a woman nf Bense, takes it philosophically, nnd has forgiven the young people, who aro now domiciled at the family residence. She givoi her daughter credit for tho shrewdness the latter exhibited in her courting, and also the carpenter for his discretion in picking of the two, the youngest and tho prettiest. . Mute Eloquence. When Ritchio was in Ireland, ho passed a man who was a painful spectacle of pallor, squalor and rnggedncss. His heart smote him, and be turned back. "If you are in want?" Slid Ritchie, with somo degree of peovish noss. ' "Why don't yon beg?" . .-' "Sure, its begging I am.yer honor." . "Yondid't say a word." ; "Ov course not your honor; but net bow tho skin ia spcakin' thiough tho holes in me trowsers! and tho boncsl cryln out through me nkinl Lock at me sunken cheeks, and the famine that's itarin' ia mo eyesl Man alivo! isn't itbeggin" I am, with hundred tongues? . . i ' . ' Life in California. James I'looio, Esq, formerly a citizen of Wood County, moved to California like many others, to mnko money. Wo hav6 rcceircd a Icttor from him, and for tho gratification of his many old friends, and to give an unvarnished view of lifo in California, tho following oxtract is transferred to tho columns of tho Journal: "Pleaso inform my old Wood County fi lends that I am getting along slowly.. I suppose many out thoro expect , ns a matter of course, I to hear of my making some great strikojbut the fuot is, for one that makes a strike, nine hundred and niuety-uino spend all their labor and earnings in prospecting and como out "dead bvokol'' which in Wood county means, "at the small end of the horn;" and I might safely sny that threo out of every four whom you meet in tho mining regions cf California find that tho farmer's old turnpike, which of old was so hard on travelers ou tho banks of thu Jordan, is not improved on the American river. But still, California is a great country! ' "Tho climate is splendid j tho valleys rich and productive; tho gold fields incxhaustablo, well affording to future generations a vast and tempting scope of adventurous operations, thereby insuring to tho farmer and mechanic higher prices for their labor than any other country in the world. But no man has any business here unloss he is young, stout nnd hearty. Ho must b? sober, steady, persevering, industrious, and economical; he must be able nnd willing to stand hard fare, and balder work; leave off all ideas of speculation, or of getting rich fast, and go right to work steady, mako all he can, and save all he makes; in short,if he is as saving and industrious as at home, a man can savo hero, nt tin end of tho year, four times what ho could in tho States. "But tho trouble is, very few, comparatively, act on the principle I have just stated. Most of them are able, but not willing; and others are willing, but not nble. Thoso who have known mo for tho past twenty years, know that I, for onci lack most of the necessary qualifications; and must of necessity, bo rated among tho "willing unablcs." I have not tho least idea of making a fortuno, and my alvice is to thoso who havo a homo, however humble and even wet, to stick to it liko a bull pup to a pig's oar; and be suro never to hi go! It is easy to build castles in the air, fancy better localities, &c, &., but one bird in the hand is worth a great many in tho bush. 'But with all that, I have no reason to complain. Both my wife and I are in good health; I am out of debt, and havo money in hand. If I had $5,000 or $0,000. 1 would go into some of the villages on a Hunch ; but as 1 don't expect to make that much in a reasonable time, I intend to return to old Wood county, as soon as I get money enough to return decently. "Tho necessaries of life here cost about four times the home prices, on an average; while luxuries are exorbitantly high. For instance, ono watermelon, $1; peaches, pears, npples and grapes, from 40 to 50 cts. per pound. Now one, who all my life havo enjoyed nn abundance of fruit, find it very hard to do without it." Judge McLean on Postmasters. When Judge McLean was Postmaster Gen eral under general Jackson's Administration ho wrote tho following letter to a dismissed Postmaster, who inquired why he had been removed. Would not this letter apply in the cases of many Postmastors of tho present day? It reads as follows: Sm: Tho allegations against you nro nu merous and strong, and chiefly these: that you cannot read or write; ore not a safe, accountant, not delivering letters when called for; delivering lottors frequently to persons for whom they wore not intended; fail to send letters and packages by mail in proper time; sometimes sonding off the mail without put ting in it any letters or packots that had been lodged at your office; reverse tho destination of letters, and send them back to the place whenco they camo; havo not senso enough to discover the error after the letters have been repeatedly returned; make frequent and gross mistakes in the bills forwarded to other offices; open packages addressed to other post offices; when a mail is called for by a neighboring Post Master, banding out any one, right or wrong; disobey the regulation respecting dead newspapers, appropriate half a dozen of them to your own uso for two or threo years, and resort to the miserable speculation of selling them fer wrapping paper; fill up circulating li-brarics with periodical works obtained in this way; are uncouth in your behavior; odious to tho population; heap error upon error, and avail yourself of these errors in order to sup plant your employor; have been tried by the vicinago, and found wanting; and to sum up, they charge you with want of principle and capacity. Tub MonAf. op Jones' Defkat. The Washington corrct-ponpent of the New York Courier and Enquirer writes: I look tinon the rejection of Mr. Jones as an event of great moment in another aspect. It marks tho beginning of the regeneration in Pennsylvania; and, greater still, it shows, that the work of emancipating tho noble German mind in the United States from the servitude of cithwords, from devotion ol African slavery, and from the tyranny of sham Democracy, has gono so lar as .to overthrow those influenced n their very citadel' 'Let tho Germans of Illinois and the Great West ro- member irr oil future conflicts, that the most ancient seat of Germm power bn thia Continent bos yielded to the force of truth, and has spurned Slavery and the leaders of the servile Democracy. This ia the moral I draw from the defeat of J. Clancy. Jor.cs. . Reform Tract and Book Society. Tho American Reform Tract and Book So ciety held its anniversary in Cincinnati on the 2nd inst.

Tho same lawyer who told tho woman to pinch tho baby when he trod on her foot, that its cries might effect the hearts of the jury, tells us that when he has an tiify woman for a client, ho ncvor permits her, t- on any condition, to nppoar in court. While sho is safely kept away from tho scrutiny of the jury, ho dwcls upon "tho rose of hor cheek fading, and the light of her eye becoming dim med by tho cruelties of tho opposing party." Perhaps it is a suit for assault and batterysomebody has scratched the fair client's face--no matter "Will they permit such loveliness to be desecrated? shall such beauty full tho victim of raging jealousy?shall beauty appeal in vain for redress? Of courso not!" and the opposing lawyer is dumb. Love, Death and Suicida.

Alai, for poor Kate! It has been all worse and no belter for her, and her Joy, which was only in name, departed forever. For a while they corresponded faithfully, and ev ery steamer carried tho most ardent epistles to one or the other of the lovers. At last no more letters camo from hero. Poor Kata sorrowed, and wrote, and watched in vain. There, was no letter, no message nothing from him her heart adored. So a few weeks ngo sho resolved to come to Havana, and see what had befallen her lord. When she arri- veJ here she sought out his family; but, in quiring with trembling anxiety for him, found that he had been dead for some months, and was then quietly sleeping !n the cemetry. Tho blew broko her heart, and Bhe deter mined to leave this wcrld to join her bclhrolh cd in another. So sho took a doso of opium, and was discovered one morning dead io her bed. A dagger, a box of opium, several mio aturcs, and a bundle of love-letters were found among ber effects, which hare been taken charge of by the authorities. Iowa axd Missihota.

After tho excitement had somewhat subsided, they commenced devising means to carry tho bear homo whole.
