North Georgia Times TIIIIK!«im AUGUST *1, le*85. 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. Exchange of courtesies be¬ tween two Arizona editors. 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¬ une. A dove flew in at an open window of church in Danbury, Conn, on Sunday morning, and perching upon a gas jet just over the preacher’s head re¬ mained there till the doxology was sung. Mr. John A Henry, who makes speeches to the “blood drinking” seeti n of Chicago anarchists, declares education to be a humbug. This is not an expel t opinion Scientific inquiry is being made iuto the medical viitues ot dogs tongues. When the president left Washington be was in prime conditition. He took to the 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" iously awaited. Larry Gantt aud Mr. Con¬ nell have not yet settled their difficulty; but much danger is nut apprehended. Poetry, Music, Science. 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 rugged mountains and wreathing with choicest flowers the Edenic vales of earth. But we turn from this pleasant theme to say the times ate hard, therefore go to J C linn’s for “Rock Bottom” prices in flour, coffee, Bugar, rice, syrup and the neat assortment of grocer ies usually found in general stores.
