DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 19, 1886. Personal I nlluoiiro of Teachers. Says a distinguished educator: “My ex- r rience as a teacher and as a supervisor that the failure and success of a school and the character of the scholar, depend on the character of the teacher. Good character stands before good scholarship. The former must be tile foundation on on which the latter is laid. Moral devel opment aidB the intellectual. When a pu pil realizes his responsibility to himself and to others he will do the better work. If I find the children of a school of the lowder grade of society neat and cleanly I credit it to the influence of the teacher. When scholars love their work, are stu dious, and entertain noble ideas of man hood, I am conddent they are under teach ers whose regard is not only for salary. I strongly urge that teachers carefully con sider the mutual relations of teachers and Scholars. I speak strongly on this subject; for all my hopes of a teacher’s success lie here. To secure this good will self-control is needful. There will be mischievous ness, pertness and deception. To give way to temper is detrimental to tile pupil anil harmful to the teacher. The influence of the teacher over the child is unlimited When this good will is once established. CUT HARDEIi. t heard s small voice in energy raised Bay, "Cry harder, Julie, cry harder. And then grandma will surely give us somccake; So cry harder, Julie, cry harder.” And it brought me the thought: many children grown up As they follow life’s pleasure with ardor, Seem to think that the joys that elude their weak Wllfeome ifthey only “cry harder.” Like the little ones, longing for some dainty bit, Denied them from out of life’s larder, htalae a hue and cry and Imagine that God Will give way ifthey only “cry harder.” —Cora Burnham Twiggs. Unsatisfied. For weariness comes of having, When happiness means pursuit, And love grows dwarfish and stinted, And bears but a little fruit, When the serpent of self forever Is colling about its feet. So lips which have met In kisses Grow chary of tender speech— So hearts which are bound together Grow burdensome each to each, Since the only things men value Are those which they cannot reach. —Elizabeth Akers. The Ritqvi'lls of Tsct. There is no aphorism that commands taore respect than this: “ The truth is not to be spoken at all times.’’ Plain spoken people are always dreaded by their friends. They excoriate with un skillful scalpel. It is n rule with them to smooth pussy’s fur the wrong way on the principle that it is a healthy function. But the cat never appreciates it. A few days ago a grand-looking old gen tleman with white hair butJlne, strong physique gave up his seat in the street car ‘to a lady. Whereupon a young miss jumps pp and with great eagerness exclaims: “ Take my Beat; please do. 1 never like to see an old person stand.” Doubtless the motive was good, but the manner was most offensive, (lrnwing as it did a sharp and obtrusive line between youth and age and calling attention to the infirmities that all are sensitive to, saying nothing of tho implied rebuke to the lady who accepted the old gentleman’s scat. A similar incident witnessed by the Writer was met with a brusque response. An elderly lady was standing in the car, when a young - lady arose and said : "I am younger than you; I will stand.” “Suit yourself.” answered the lady who was so suddenly brought into prominence, and she remained standing. Again, a gentleman who was walking behind a lady on the sidewalk though he perceived that some part of her drapery WaB displaced; he touched her on tho ahouldcr: “You are losing youroverskirt, madam,” be said hurriedly. “Well, Bir,” said madam, “Is that any of your business?” Two young ladies who were confidential friends, resolved with each other to point out their mutual faults with a view to im proving. They wore seated cozily chat ting when one said to the other. “There is one thing, Clara, love, I have often noticed in you, and that is a habit of interrupting people when—” “I interrupt., Laura, dear, why you must be mistaken. 1 have always considered it the rudest tiling in tho world. Now you have a habit, of contradicting that is very disagreeable.” “I don’t cross my feet, if I do,” said Laura tartly. “I don’t chew gum,” retorted Clara. “You’re not very polite, miss!” “Quite us much so as you.” “I think you’re real moan!” "I think you're horrid!” (tears.) “You needn’t ever speak to me again.” (sobs.) "Don’t yon recognize till 1 do.” And the two friends part in hysterical enmity. Sometimes tho truth is indeed an overrated virtue, but her handmaiden tact, ia one of the socml graces. Kissing tie: Bank. The idea on which oaths or adjurations Was founded was that the unseen powers or deities would always punish a falsehood if their attention were called to it. That is, the person might be os untruthful as ho wrould on ordinary occasions, but when- «er he called on one of tho gods to wit ness the truth of his assertion, lie was bound to keep his word, lest the deity, outraged at being made a party to a false hood, would wreak Bpecial vengeance up on him. Prom this idea, which lias sur vived from the earliest times to the pres ent, came tile belief that the proximity of An object regarded os sacred made an oath more binding: i. e., made men more ufraid to violate it. Tho ancient Jews touched their phylac teries in taking an oath. Later, their practice was to lay their hand upon the book of the law, whence eamo of custom of swearing on the Bible. Tho various customs of taking oaths hi different coun tries have all u similar origin. Tho early Anglo Saxons laid the hands on a pillar of stone,because stones were re garded as sacred to their gods. In mediievol times it was customary to touoh a relic, and this was regarded us giv ing the outli more sacredness even than when taken upon the Missal, or prayer- book. When Harold swore allegiance to King William of Normandy, the Missal was placed upon a chest which, when after ward opened, was seen to l>e filled with bones of the saints. It is a curious proof of the superstition of the times, this idea that, an adjuration to the Almighty was made more solemn by the presence of a knuckle-bone, a jaw or a double tooth ofn dead man. Another custom of medimvul times was swearing by churcbus. A certain number were mentioned, and the attestor was ob liged to go to each one, take the ring of the church door in his hand and repeat bis oath. Prom very early times the Russian cus tom has been to kiss the cross to attest an oath, and the practice has extended into other countries. This was the oath of the Knights Templar and other similar bodies, and the laws of the order of the garter in Henry VIll’s time, required the Knights to touch tho book and kiss the cross. A common attestation of the oath in Germany in the middle ages and later, was by the bosom, placing the hand thereon. This came from the practice of wearing a uruciflx or amulets suspended from the neck. Kissing the book, which is still thr common practice throughout the British Empire, as in this country, has not been S erraitted in Scotland since tho reforma- on. The duty of the teacher is to watch and thwart evil tendencies and to encourage good. Character Is best formed by indi rect influences. Direct teaching of duty is necessary: but the indirect power of con duct and habit is superior. Cherish confi dence in the pupil. It is the strongest hold you will ever have on tho little ones. Some will rebel against you or assume an uir of suspicion. Will you turn them away coldly and prove to them the Justice of their suspicions, or will you try to win them? By winning them you will certain ly deserve the good will of God and man. But you may have boys too old to obey women nnd not old enough to be courte ous, und you may have girls of the silly, giggling sort.FIll up every momentjof time with something of interest. Treat them with kindness. Thus will they come to love you, nnd you love them. That is the plan of an ideal school. If you establish an ideal school, it will be due chiefly to the winning manner and loving spirit in what you nave directly labored for, the in’ellectuai growth of your pupils, and to your indirect labor for their moral good. The chief cause of over pressure, forwhlch teachers are responsible, arises from the spirit of faultfinding and censure which they show. Needed recreation and sleep should be regularly taken by teachers. Dissipation, falsely called recreation, should be avoided. Dyspeptics should find a cure or resign at once. Teachers must find time out of school, not only for rest and recreation, but for a great amount of thought on their work and for making plans for its prosecution. MAI»K lUI'l’Y. Customers like the one mentioned be low delight the souls of the poor dry goods clerks, who would Imve little happiness in this life if it were not for occasional bits of sunshine brought to bear upon them by sweetly disposed old ladieB from the rural districts. One such ambled into a Detroit store the other day. “What’s a right good quality of on- bleached muslin wutb to-day?” slle asks. “From ten to twelve cents a yard,” an swerer] the clerk. “Is it a yard wide?” “Yes, ma’am.” “Warrant it not to shrink?” “Yes ma’am.” “Is it wutli any less by the hull bolt?” “No, ma’am.” “Well, I wu’n’t wantin’ any nohow, I see some on the counter an’ jist thought I’d ask. I'm after caliker to-day.” “Yes, ma’am,” says the clerk. “What kind of calico do j on want?” “Well, I don’t hardly know. It ain’t fer myself; it’s fer Mary Jane Dixon, one o’ our neighbor vvimmon, or sort o’ cousin mine us I’d better say.” “What kiud of calico did you say you wanted, ma’am?” “Well, I don’t ’zactly know. Mary Jane came a-runnin’ over jist as I was startin' to git ready, an’ I had the chickens to feed yet an’ no much oil my mind 1 didn’t pay much 'tention to Mary Jane. She’s sort o’ second cousin to ” “Did you want dark or light print?” “Mary Jane didn’t say ’sposhly which, I’d know right off, hut seein* as its for Mary Jane Dixon, and iier bein’ own sec ond cousin to my man by marriage, it makes me a little pertioklor. Mary Jane aint over’n above easy to please ..ohow, an' I often says to her, says I ” “Here are both light and dark pieces, ma’am.” "Well, l know she dun’t want it too dark nor yit too light, an’ as to whether she wants a Agger or n stripe or a cheek or a plaid, I’m sure I don’t know. If she wa’n’t our seoond cousin by marriage to my man I’d o’ said right out to her ” “Here is a pretty plaid piece, ma’am.” “Yes, so ’bis; but I do’no a-i Mary Jane wants a plaid, an’ I don’t reekoiiieniber as I ever see her ivearin’ u stripe’ tho’ siie has got a wrapper that’s a sort of a stripe, too. But as for an out an out an’ sot stripe- ” “How would you like this piece with tile little vine in it?” “I’d like it well enough, but Mary Jane she’s sort o’curious. I wouldn’t say it so it’d git to her that I said it, but she is cu rious like. Why I’ve knowed that wo man to ” “Thou you don’t like this piece?” “Why. yes; I guess I do, but I don’t know what Mary Jane would say to it. I’ll tell you what you do. You give me ten or fifteen samples and Mary Jane can pick out the one she wants. I’m cornin’ in agin Saturday an’ can git it then. Mary Jane will want as much as three-quarters of a yard, and 1 do’tio but site’ll need a hull yard when she does buy, for it’s for a kitchen npron, and she’s it middlin’ fat woman, and so—” The agonized clerk can bear no more. He snips off halt' a dozen samples and flies to the father end of the store, where be gnashes his teeth and froths at the mouth in the impotence of his rage nnd misery.— Free Press. Ktand Firm. “Stand like an anvil.” when the strokes Of stalwart strength fall thick and fast; Storms but more decplv root the oaks, Whose brawny arms embrace the blast '"Stand like an anvil," when tho bar Lies red und glowing on its breast; Duty shall be life’s guiding star, And conscious innocence its rest. “Stund like an anvil;" noise und heat Are born of earth and die with time; The soul, liko God, its source and seat, Is solemn, still, serene, sublime. Slime Uses ofUInves. Magaziue of Art. “Tho reign of Elizabeth|may fairly be con sidered the turning point ill the hietory of gloves. Through long years, and keeping line with the growth of refinement and courtesy, the glove has been invested first with ono association nnd thun another, given part nnd lot in this custom and that, until it hud come to hold a very prominent place in the economy of life. Both at wed dings nnd flmerals gloves were olfered us gifts so commonly as to be made the re cognized feature of the social ceremonial proper to those occasions. Either for peaoe and in favor, or defiant nnd in du.td- I.V anger, it bus come to be as bimlinguipon ordinary transactions as a written deed and ns evident of purpose as if tt3 owner had enforced its evident intent. Partic ularly as a token of love, as though it gave in pledge the htuid and regard of a fair lady, or os a cartel of war, threatening so much of the vengeful punishment as the hand it had covered could inflict, did the glove play its perfect part in times when both these sentiments were especially cherished und avowed. It was made the tegis of trade, insuring the chapmen ana chaffering purchasers of the wares they of fered peace and protection; and in agree ments ot greater moment the glove was made witness of a promise given and the pledge of its fulfillment. The donation of land to a church, and sometimes even the offer of bodily service, was made good by the placing of a glove upon the altar: and in the transfer of iaiid—or, in occasional instances, of kingdoms—a glove was made a veritable lease, by virtue of which oos- session was taken and held. As securing safe passage, liko a passport; as an offer of amity, like us though a friendly shake of the hand were proffered, even as a bribe, when it was often “lined” with good gold pie . es, to tempt men from their allegiance or induce them to view a suit favorably, the glove had many a momentous mes sage to convey, many un important nego tiation to open or to bind. O, the shaking of the ague 1 O, the tortures of Neuralgia! O, the misery of dyspepsia 1 O, tho wretchedness of headache! O, tile gripes of bilious colic! All of these will surely vanish Like the snow befor the Southwind, If you’ll only take Smith’s Bile Beans. You can buy them at your drug store For a quarter of a dollar; And if you will only try them You will never be without them. decl eod&wlm Light in Ike Darkness. A tender child of summers three, Seeking her little bed at night, Paused on the dark stairs timidly, “Oh, mother, take my hand," said she, “And then the dark will all be light.” We older children grope our way From dark behind to dark before; And only when our hands vve lay, Dear Lord, in thine, the night is clay, And there is darkness nevermore. Free Trade. The reduction of. Internal revenue and tlie taking off of revenne sjnmps from Pro prietary Medicines, no doubt has largely benefited the consumers,os well as relieving the burden of home manufacturers. Es pecially is this the cane with Green’s Au gust Flower and Boschee’s German Syrup, ao the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottles containing these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more medicine in tho 70 cents size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaiut, and the German Syrup for Cough and Lung trou bles, have perhaps, the largest sale of any medicines in the world. The advantage of Increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the sick nnd afflicted, in every town and village in civilized coun tries.
