Teaching Public School. “ Forly little urchins Coming through the door, Pushing, crowding, making A tremendous roar. Why dou’t you keep quiet ? Can’t you keep the rule ? Bless me this is pleasant, T. u hi ig Public Sc' col.” “ Forty little pilgrims On the road to fame ; If they fail to reach it \Y ho will be to blame ? High and lowly statious— Birds of every feather— On a dirty level Here are brought together.” “ Dirty little faces, Loving little hearts, Eyes brimful of mischief, Or skilled in the devil’s arts. That’ a precious darling ! What arc you about? 1 M >y 1 pass for ‘fratcr ?’ •Please may I go out?' ” “Boots and shoes are shuffling, Slates and books are rattling. And In the corner yonder— Two pugilists are battling. Others cutting didoes— What a botheration ! No wonder we grow crusty From such association !” “Anxious parent drops in, Merely to inquire W by his olive branches Do not shoot up higher; Says he wants his children To miud their p's and q's, And hopes their brilliant talents Will not be abused.” “Spelling, reading, tvriting,— ‘Now, all together ybung ones 1’ Fanning, scolding, fighting, Spurring on the dull ones. Gymnasts, vocal music— How the heart rejoices When the singer comes to Cultivate their voices !” g “Institute attending, Making out reports, Giving object lessous. Class drills of all sorts. Reading dissertations; Feeling like a fob!- Oh, the untold joy of _ Teaching Public School.” Friiiiitciiing Chil<iren. The greatest difficulty in the way of properly rearing children is that their elders forget that they were ever children themselves. Parents, with till their love and tenderness, are often so unmindful of the ex treme sensibility of their offspring that they think to amuse by fright ening thenl. This is liko tickling them with a needle ; it is all pain and no pleasure. Because a fright is intended to be a joke, it is no reason that it is so understood, es pecially by the little folks* iVbo are altogether literalists. Nothing can be worse for a child than to frighten it. The effect of the scare it is slow to recover from ; it remains sometimes until maturity, as is shown by many in stances of morbid sensitiveness and nervousness. Not ilftfreqnentJjr, fear is employ ed as a means of discipline. Chil dren are controlled by being mada to believe that something terrible will happen to them ; are punished by being shut up in dark rooms, or by being put in places they stand in dread of. No one* without vivid memory of his own childhood can comprehend how entirely criiel such things are. We have often heard grown persons tell of the suf fering they have endured, as chil dren under liko circumstances, and recount the irreparable injury which they are sure they then received No parent, no nurse, capable of alarming the young, is fitted for her position. Children* as near as possible, should be trained not to know the sense of fear, which, above everything else, is to be fear ed, in their education both early aud late. Measures.— As all families are not provided with scales and weights, referring to ingredients in general use by every housewife* the following information may be use ful : W heat flour, one quart is one pound. Indian meal, one quart is one pound and two onees. Butter, When soft, one quart is one pound one ounce. Loaf sugar, broken, one quart is One pound. White sugar powdered, one quart is one pound one ounce. Best brown sugar, one quart is ouo pound two ounces. Eggs, average size, ten eggs are one pound. -*- It is not our fault that we are red-headed and small, and the next time one of those overgrown rural roosters in a ball-room reaches down for our head, and suggests some fellow has lost a rose bud out of Ills button-hole, there will be tro u ble.—J ld wet ukee Sentinel. A Clinnce For Boys. “What aro you good for?” in quired a gentleman of a little Soy. “To make a man of,’’ the boy an swered. That boy comprehended both the situation and himself. It is God’s plan to make men out of boys—noble men out of noble boys, like the one who responded as above. It is the thought that ought to be uppermost in the minds of lads *‘l am to be a they should often repeat. A little fellow left his home last summer to pur sue a coiirse of study in a boarding school. One of his companions said to him, “Fred, don’t yon dread to go ?” “No I guess not,” he re plied. “I must he a man some time.” That is it. If boys would always be boys, their fathers might supply them with skates, sleds, fishing tackle and gun, and let them go it, with no thought of the future and no lesson from the past. But that cannot be. The seed does not more surely grow into the blade than boyhood developes into man hood ; and we want oitr young readers to appreciate the fact. In these circumstances, Provi deuce is very kind to give lads as good a chance as they have. If one really means to be a man, in the best and highest sense of the term; the way is opon, even though his opportunities are very small.— The great result depends more up on the spirit of the boy than it does upon his opportunities. The best advantages are lost upon many lads because they do not comprehend the situation—they scarcely dream that they lire cVfer to be men. It will not make a man of a hoy to send him to college, or to set him up in trade with a large capital, unless the gift of the matter is in him. If the right spirit and aim are in him; noble manhood is in sured, even without college or capi tal. Sir John Franklin; the great Arc tic explorer, had limited means. — His father was willing to grant him all the advantages his scanty purse would allow, if he would be a minister ; but the lad’s aspira tions were in another direction.— At lOurteea he entered the navy as midshipman, Und distinguished himself before he was twenty-one. Spare moments were husbanded and opportunities improved with refer ence to his manhood. Livingstduo, the Worlu-faaicd Af rican explorer, worked in a cotton mill until he was tiVeniy years of ace. lie did not attend school after he was ten years old, except an evening school for factory opera tives. Yet, at twenty five years of age, he had qualified himself for a missionary, aud sailed for Southern Africa, where he has tolled for more than 30 years. Few men are more widely known than he. A hundred years ago there was a boy boot black in the city of Ox ford, England, who cleaned the boots of the students in the Uni versity. lie was ft boot black from necessity, not from choice. His father was too poor to send him to schoolj and there was no higher employment that offered him busi ness, so lie became a boot black.— That was an honest pursuit, and fat more necessary than some others. — Theie was a little more than the usual advantage* however* in black ing the boots of studehts. It in troduced him to small opportuni ties through the students. Books came ihta his hands. Instruction was given him on a small scale at first by one of the students. Thus he started, and he became the great revival preachar, George Whitfield. Such facts compel us to say that the chance fur a boy is flattering in our day. No matter bow humble their Condition may be, the road to honor arid ilseftilaess is open before them, and a favoring Providence invites them to enter it. The poor est may share a noble manhood.— Tlie richest may fail.— Youth's Progress. While some men, beneath two im I metise chesnut trees, in Orange, Conn., were grinding scythes, dur ing a recent thunder storm, light ning struck the trees, shivering them into many pieces* darted against the grindstone* which one man was turning and upon which an other man was holding a scythe* snatched the implement from his hands and burled it into the air with a noise resembling that of a buzz saw, landing it fifty feel away. The men were rather startled by the incident, but were not hurt. It is a strange fact that wise men learn more from fools than fools do from wise men. Under a Curse. A dismal tragedy comes from England, as sad and melan choly as any we have heard. Miss Cross, a girl of 19 years of age, was teaching school in Stark, New Hampshire. Her classes fell into confusion and disorder, and the teacher was summoned by the com. mittee, who gave lifer the alternative of improving the discipline or re signing. The girl committed sui cide by drowning. The girl left a note to her sister merely stating that the curse was being fulfilled.— A careful inquiry into her history was made and the riddle was solved. Her father, Amos K. Cross, of Waterford, Maine, was separated from his first wife and married again. His own mother was great ly incensed against him, and, in a fit of rage, cursed his children, say ing that “his sons should die in in fancy, and his daughters in sorrow, if not in shame, before they were 20.” The curse had been fulfilled so far as the sons were concerned, and this coincidence confirmed the belief of the unfortunate girl in the curse. As she neared her 20th birthday the gloom of approaching death unfitted her for work, and the circumstances which followed urged her to the dreadful stop which developed the mystery. She leaves one younger sister, whose fu ture will be watched with eare and interest by an aWe Stricken comifliu nity With such a history to look back upon it would require a miud of no average strength to combat the melancholy and superstition which caused her sister’s death.— But what could be the remorse of the wretched woman who had wrought the ruin ? Let us hope she is dead and beyond the knowledge of the verification of her fearful curse. Character. No two leaves in the forest are exactly tile sattle form and tekture. No two grains of sand, taken from the sea-shore of the gl-eat African desert, are identical in bulk and outline. Even the drop of water, the most alike in the universe, will exhibit some marks of distinction tVhen submitted to a powerful mi croscope. The law that excludes du plicates from the visible kingdom of nature, is also a law of the moral world. From Adam to the last man, tio two races will be found ex actly the same ; and variety in t*\ait and lineament of human character is as inexhaustible as is a man’s out ward appearance. The power which in one man’s moral compo sition is ardent, demonstrative, pre dominate, in another lies dormant or dead. The craving which m one breast concentrates upon it self the whole mind and will, before its voice can be silenced or its will appeased, is felt, scarcely under stood, by a being of a different or ganization. The weak man is laughed at in scorn by the strength of the strong ; moral power and weak pulp travel side by side, and souls of fine porfeelain tremble in the near presence of iron and granite; Power of Beauty.— A lovely woman necessarily exercises a great deal of power; but the foolish girl who relies wholly on her color and regularity of her features, and nog lects the cultivation of her mind, is a melancholy spectacle. Her sel fish little heart, -her barren mmd, lord it already over her cheap sup erficial beauties, and will soon leave nothing behind but a dreary waste. Iler little victories aro temporary, her little failures lasting. She can never be a power. She can scarce ly help being a drag. Her com panions must be among the Common place, not to say the vulgar; for she has nothing iu common with the grand. She would gasp on the heights. • She can assimilate noth ing beyond the material. There is danger that she will sooa be un able to rise above the mean. Ah, beauty is dangerous.— Exchange. The Dalton Citizen make the fol lowing rather unfavorable report of crops, &c., jn Murray county: “Crops are not fine. Corn is full of ‘nubbins,’ and will yield about half what was heretofore stated. Cotton will just about bo one fourth of a crop, compared with what was made last ycar ; If 2,100 bales of cotton were made last year,soo bales will be mada this year, and this statement is from a number of gin ners and farmers. Sweet potatoes are spoiling, having been dug a lit tle too soon. Pork will be exceed ingly scarce, though it can now bo purchased in Spring Place at 12J cents per pound.” When we asked a mart a few days ago what induced him to make a law student of his son* he replied: ‘Oh, he always was a lying little cuss, and I thought I’d humor his leading propensity. ’ A Joke Well Taken. Two or taree weeks ago, says the Detroit Free Press, a very quiet and very solemn boy took a seat on the wharf at the foot of Griswold street, and began td fish. There hre, may hap, fish at the foot of Griswold street, but probably a man or boy might fish there 10,000 years and never get a bite, because those fibh —if any there are that frequent that locality, have had their eye teeth cut, aiid know their business. Steamers and boats passing, men shouting and diays rolling and the fish have a good deal to think of. But this boy” didn’t look into the case, lie may have heard theories and speculations, but ho kept them to himself find on fish ing. Men asked him if he got a bite and the boys told him to be careful and not exhaust the supply* but four or five hours per day ho sat there and fished unmindful of what was said or done, lie pulled up the line once in a while, survey ed the piece of meat on the hook, saw that it was there, and then it wont down again to wait for a stur geon, At last the bdy’a jSerse verance excited general notice, and men said it was too bad ho didn’t cacth a fish. Saturday afternoon three or four individuals planned to call him away from his line for a moment, and while he was gone one of them fastened a big, dried her ring to his hook. The boy return ed and resumed his fishing, and fi nally he hauled up and saw tho herring. Ho was too astonished to speak for a time but he finally un hooked the fish, laid it aside* and put a piece of Scrap irdn on it to keep it from escaping ; pretty soon he was as solemn a3 ever. One of the men felt piqued at the boy’s lack of enthusiasm and stepping forward he said, “Well, bub, had any luck ?” “One herring,” replied the boy in solemn tones. “And what do you expect to csttch now?” continued the man. He waited a long time before answering, and mournfully glancing at the herring he replied : “Crackers and cheese to go with him !” He is still fish ing. Dreaming. What wondroiis consolation comes to us in those blessed hours when the body lies resting. The spirit roams at will* nor distance, space or time can separate us from our loved ones. The treasures snatched aivay by death are ours again. Forms only dust to-day are with us iu by-gone years. The same tint of hair, the same shade of eyes ; tho same rich colorir. g of lips, and expanse of brow ; thesame expression. Tho little peculiarities which endeared them to our hearts* make dreaming a blessed reality. llow apt are we to exclaim when waking, “Oh, could I dream the same again 1” Bereaved mother, yon are comforted when your baby is in your arms again ; the little fingers thrill you when wandering as of old. The wee face breaks in to smiles at your caress. You would hold your baby tlitts forever. Alas ! you must awake—awake to find an empty cradle, empty arms and a longing heart. There is more pleasure in dreams than in realities. The awakening embitters both. My sister, my brother, have you awakened from the sunny drcariiS of youth ? Are the hopes you cherished dead ? Have friends forsaken you? Has disease claimed you for his prey ? .Because that was so bright,and this so dark, will you allow your life to be a failure ? If you cannot be what you would, will you not be what you can ? Can you kindle ashes ? Will you live aright ?
