To Our Country Teacher.
My dear brother: Doubtless
you are award that our posi¬
tion is not held in the high es¬
teem that its importance de
mantis. You have observed
that it is a mere stepping stone
to the various vocations of life;
that men falling in business,
men aspiring to business, men
and women unfit for ordinary
business, ruse themselves into
office, filch away our money,
cripple the intelligence of our
pupils and bring dishonor up
on our brotherhood, ami in¬
deed the saying has become al¬
most proverbial, that a man
who is too lazy tor any
vocation can teach school.
This is not as it should be.
The teacher is the master
steCrsman upon whose skill
count: y‘s iuture depends. If
our country is to advance, to
improve, to become more no¬
ble, to climb higher on the
scale of civilization and intelli
genet) the foundation of such
principles must be skillfully
laid in the hearts of our chil
dmi. Will we trust this work
this grandest ot all human
work, to the hands of those
whose interest is measured by
t lie number of dollars necessa¬
ry to enable them to enter the
business or profession of their
choice? There are many per¬
sons of this character who are
now filling positions as teachers,
And, as a general thing, they
are with us but not ot us.
They are with us for the mon
ey aud to injure our cause.
Is there no remedy for
evil? If there is none
should invent one. But let
begin with ourselves. We
must take a greater interest
and pride in our work. If im¬
position has brought
upon our profession, every sin¬
cere teacher should strive to
remove the shame. Not even
our patrons can do more to
diive insincerity from our ranks
than we. By applying our¬
selves to the interest of our
work, we create a demand for
none t >ther than those whose
interest is in the work. Tlien
let u- l'efo iu ourselves by do¬
ing all in our power to b ing
our work up to its proper po¬
sition—first in public senti¬
ment. We must associate
with oue another more; read
mole of the work of the great
men who have given their use¬
ful lives to this noble cause;
read the journals of the day
that are devoted to our inter¬
est, f. om which we learn more
about what our work is, what
our brethren are doing aud
how they are doing it.
But, above all, let us look in¬
to our own souls, iuto our ev¬
ery day walk, and improve
there. Are we light iu our
habits? Have we any habits
that we cannot commend to
pupils—yea, instruct them :
our
to adopt? If so, why not quit
them? Trilling as it n ay seem
if we rehearse vulgar stories,
u-e slang or by words, repeat
profanity, use tobacco, or par¬
take of an occasional dram, we
iiijuie the cause in which we
.«!!(*! and lower the human lam !
il>.
The wo k of every true
t -aelier is to elevate the mind
ot iris pupils, to raise it above
those potations—to institute
thought and habits of true no
bility and purity. This can
not be done effectually except
by precept and exatnple and
any teacher who persists in any
violation of true gentility, is
untrue to the proper interests
of education. Amicus.
A glance at Bill Arp’s mel -
aneboly face,the otherday, sug
gested the querry: Why are
all humorists gloomy? The
gieatest English wits and hum¬
orists lived lives of work and
pain. Artemas Ward always
seemed to be op the verge ot
tears. M. Quad, who comes
down this way nearly every
winter, is the most disconso¬
late and uncomfortable looking
tourist eve seen in this section.
Josh Billings has the air of a
man who has just seated him¬
self on a tack. Petroleum V.
Nasky looks fighting mad all
the time. Mark Twain wears
the injured look of a bad boy
who has been pulled out of bed
to see uncongenial company.
Sut Lovingood. who knocked
about Atlanta a little at the
beginning of the war, was a
gram and saturnine looking
man. They are all alike. They
don’t seem to enjoy life. Why
is it? -Ex.
When Mr. Ruskin was a bit
»* ‘
of a boy of three years he- as¬
tonished a photographer by
asking him why there were
holes in the carpet ol the gal¬
lery. In fact, he seemed to lie
able to see everything, for his
habits ot observation were
formed when he was a mere
child. This very early mental
discipline was due ,in part to
the lack of distracting associ
ates. His playmates were the
kittens and the rabbits and the
rosebushes. He admits that
he was too much alone,
The public will, no doubt,
receive with hearty approval
the appointment of lion. Thom¬
as F Greer as the judge of the
comity court of Gilmer by
Governor McDaniel. Colonel
Greer has long been a resident
of this place, during which
time he has held many enviable
honorable positions, and
this mark of executive favor,
unsought by him is quite grat
ifying to his many friends who
hail with deligct his advent
into the judicial realm.—The
Ellijay Courier.

From the Gila Howler: “The
lickspittle greaser who edits
the Ripsnorter lost his head
last week in trying to answer
us.” From the Ripsnorter:
“The reformed hum whose of¬
fice boy edits the Howler for
him, can’t lo.-*e his head, for he
has none.”—New York Trib¬

Mr. John A Henry, who

When the president left
Washington be was in prime

woods to avoid the office seek¬
ers more than any thing els^.
Since the 4t.h of March he has
grown much stouter, which
show's that the cares of state
lest lightly upon his broad
shoulders, While the story
of his illness is not credited
here, yet further information
from the Auirondacks is anx"

Ibis beautiful constellation now
graces as never before our nation¬
al skies. Its soft, sweet influence
touches a responsive chord in the
great I eart of humanity. It is mak¬
ing golden the summit of Time's

with choicest flowers the Edenic
vales of earth. But we turn from
this pleasant theme to say the
