In behalf of the board of National Popu-
lar Education, the undersigned invites ap-
plicatons from Ladies who desire to go to
the West as Teachers, under its patronage.
Four classes of teachers Zone hundred and
ten in the whole) have been collected and
sent out. They have been located princi-
pally in the States of Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan
Deeming short course of preparation very
important to fit the teachers for entering on
their new field of labor, the Board have
made permanent arrangement at Hart
ford, Conn, for their collection sem-annu-
ally, in classes, for the purpose of such pre-
paration. They are brought together there,
into one family, and carried through a
course of six weeks, under competent in-
structors The course consists of lectures
OH the best methods of teaching the various
branches on the best method of organizing
schools; on school government; on moral
and religious instruction III schools; on the
| influence of teachers in the community on
physiology, as connected with the preserva-
! ton Of health "a system of calisthenic ex-
ercises: examinations of the class upon the
lectures; discussions of the subjects of the
lectures in the class visiting model schools;
examinations in the elementary branches ;
religious exercises and social meetings. In
struction will also be given in vocal music
1t is proposed to collect fifth class al
Hartford, on the Odd of March next, and
send them out on the Sd of May; and it is
for the purpose of forming that class, that
applications are now invited. They should
be addressed to " The Committee for Select
ing Teachers, Hartford, Conn. That Com
mittee consists of three Ladies, appointed
by the Executive Committee of the Board
for the purpose OF selecting and locating
teachers. Each application should state
the age, residence and religious denomlna-
ton of the applicant, and the branches II
which she feels qualified to instruct; ano
should be accompanied by testimonials, iron
some reliable source, in regard to her edu
cation, natural peculiarites, aud moral anG
religious character. Among the desired
qualifications, Discretion and Piety are
deemed indispensable. The charity that
"doth not behave itself unseemly," is as im'
portant in this service, as that which " seek
eth not its own" while the service is OF I
character eminently demanding the "iaiti
that works by love-" and that "ehaures a.
seeing Him who is invisible"
1t IS expected, that those selected Tor thu

Giants. will deiray their own expenses t.
Hartford Their instruction there will b,
gratuitous. They will be expected to pa.
for their board at the rate of 81 so week
There may be cases, however (there have
been such, in which teachers will be una
BILE to pay for their board. We desire no
to reject any on account of their poverty
and will pay the board Of those VINO arr

AREOLITES,

Shooting stars, fire-balls, and metoric
stones, are, with great probability, regard
ed as small masses moving with planetary
velocites in space, and revolving in comic
sections round the sun, in accordance with
the law of universal gravitation. These
masses approach the earth in their path,
are attracted by her mass and enter our at
mosphere, becoming luminous at its limits;
when they frequently let fall stony frag-
ments, heated in greater or less degree,
and covered with shining black crust. A
careful investigation of what has been OBJ
served at the epochs when periodic showers
Of shooting stars fell in Cumana in 1893,
and in North America in 1888 and 1884,
shows that balls of fire and shooting stars
are not only often cotemporaneous and in
termingled, but that they pass gradually
one into the other, whether we compare the
magnitude Of their disks, or the trains which
accompany them, or the velocities of their
movement. While they are exploding and
smoke-emitting balls of fire, which are lu-
minous even in the bright sunshine OF a
tropic day, and sometimes exceed in size
the apparent diameter of the moon, there
are, on the other hand, shooting stars which
fall in immense numbers, and are of such
small dimensions that they exhibit them
selves only as moving points, or as phospho-
resent ines.-HumbOWS COsmdS.

by LEITCH RICHIE.

Many years ago | spent day in the town
of Elm's Cross, and although no adventure
belell me there to fix the place in my men,
DRY, see 1t before me at this moment as
distinctly as that picture on the wall had
an impression all that day, however errone-
Gus, that it was Sunday. There was a Sun
day silence IN the streets, a Sunday gravity
in the passers-by, Sunday order and clean
ness in their habiliments. The lines of
houses were ranged with the most sober de-
corum, and the little lawns which many of
them possessed were laid out with the SQUARE
and compass. The trees were not beauti-
full, but neat, for nature was not INDUCED in
any of her freaks at Elm's Cross; and in
deed it seemed to me that the very leaves
had peculiar quiet green, and the flowers
reserved smell. The majority of the bet
ter class of the inhabitants of this town
were Friends; and it appeared--if my i'm
agination did not run away with me-that
through the influence of wealth and num-
bers, they had been able to impress the ex-
ternal characteristics of their society upon
the whole place.
But no; my Imagination could not have
run away with me for the moment mag.
ination enters Elm's Cross it is taken il
custody as a vagrant, and kept in durance
during its soiourn. There one loses the
faculty of day-dreaming; for although
was young fellow at the time, half crazy
with sentiment aud love of adventure, ever
the fair Quakers, some of whom were beau
full, in spite Of their bonnets, had no more

BENEFITS of Early Instruction.

The advantage Of having learnt the Cat

NAV be estimated by the following triaing
circumstance: A lady observing little

A Happy World.

Many think themselves to be truly Cod
fearing, when they call the world valley
of tears. But believe they would be more
SO if they call it happy valley. God is
more pleased with those who think every
thing right in the world, than with those
who think nothing right. With so many
thousand Joys, is it not black ingratitude to
call the world a place ofsorrow and tormenti

you bestow upon others is reflected back
