Julia Westcott understood human nature.
She made it study, as every teacher ought
to do. She rooted out error and prejudice
from the minds of her pupils, showed them
the evil OF sin and beauty of virtue, the ad-
vantages of education, and the consequences
of ignorance taught them their own Ca
pabilties and responsibilities, and she
adapted her instructions to capacities and
necessities. And thus she went on, year
after year, scattering good seed into good
ground, and she reapcd an abundant har-
vest. From many happy home and high
place come blessing upon her, and there
is no one who breatheS her name with
greater reverence, or remembers her with
more grateful affection, than "Tom JONES'"
who has filed with ability one of the high
est judicial Offices in the Union, and who
freel y acknowledges that he owes his pre-
sent character and position entirely to her
treatment and instructions.
Truly, "he that goeth forth weeping,
bearing precious seed, shall come again re-
joicing, bringing his sheaves with him."

| among her scholars a very queen, and ye
she SO gained their confidence and esteem
that it did not seem to them submission tc
anotaer'S will, but the promptings of theil
own desire TO please. One glance of hel
dark eye would have quelled an insurrec-
ton, and one smile made them happy for a
day.
Julia Westcott taught school with re-
alization Of the responsibilities resting upon
her, and she bent her energies to fulfil them.
Carefully and skillfully she unlocked the
SOUPS door and gave searching glance
within, in order to understand its abilities,
and then shaped her course accordingly.-
The desponding and inactive she encoura-
ged the obstinate she subdued to the
yielding and tickle she taught strong self
reliance. She encouraged the one rain
drop to do all the good it could, and the
rushing torrent she turned where it would
fertilize, rather than dcvastate.
There are in every school some dormant
energies, which if aroused, might shake the
world. There are emotions and passions,
which if let loose, will, like the lightnings
of the heaven, scatter ruin and blight, but
if controlled, may like the element become
the messenger ofthoughts TO the world. In
that head you call dull, may lie Slumbering
passions like some pent up volcano open
that closed crater, and see if there do not
belch forth flames which your own hand
cannot stop.

A HIGH Tree and Tnu Story.

A California correspondent of the Salem Gazette
Joseph 5. Wallis, says that Colonel Temple Teb-
bets, formerly of Lewiston Falls Me, cut tree of
the redwood species in California, which was two
hundred and ffty-four feet high, and measured at
the top two feet in diameter and at the butt twelve
feet in diameter, and the tree was worked into lum
Der hundred and forty feet from the butt where
it measured five feet in diameter. There was made
from this giant of the forest hundred and ten
NJ. shingles; six M. clapboards four thousand feet
three-byfour josts twenty-five feet long and there
was left, at moderate calculation from seventy to
eighty cords OF wood. The clapboards were sold for
$500 per M, the shingles for $50 per NJ the iosts
for 1915 per NJ, and the remaining part of the tree
would readily sell in San Francisco for frewood at
$40 per cord; thus at safe estiplation there was
derived from the working Of this mammoth dXeIler
$50.

he said that he went to the woods to cut down an
oak tree. After he had chopped away for about a
week or ten days he thought he would take a walk
round the tree, just to how much more he had tC
cut. When he got to the other side he another
