CURRANT BUSHES. Having noticed that
currant bushes may as we'll be made trees

of 1881. my father commenced garden,
and among other things set cuttings for
currant bushes. / determined TO make an
experiment on one Of these cuttings and
as soon as it grew pinched off all the
leaves except the top tuft. which l let
grow. The cutting was about fourteen
inches high. and during the summer the
,prout from the top of this grew perhaps
en- inches. The next spring | pnched
IF all the leaves to about half way up to
The first years growth. so AS to leave the
lowest limbs about three feet from the
ground. IL branched well and became
\ nice little dwarf tree. When it came to
bear fruit, it was more productive than
any bush in the garden, and the fruit
larger; it was less infected by spiders.
and other insects /; hens could not pick of
the fruit; and weeds were more easily
kept from about the roots. and it was an
ornament instead of blemish Now l
would propose that currant outings be
set in rows about FIVE feet apart each way
and be long and straight ones and train

INDusrRY.--Every young man should
remember that the world has and always
will honor industry. The vulgar and
useless idler whose energies of mind and
body are rusting for the want of exercise,
the mistaken being who pursues amuse-
ment as relief to his enervated muscles,
or engages in exercises that produce no
useful end, may look with scorn on the
laborer engaged in his toll; but his scorn
is praise his contempt is an HONOR
Honest industry will secure the respect
of the wise and the good among men, and
Weld the rich fruit of an easy conscience,
and give that hearty self-respect which
is above all price. Toll on, then, young
men and young women. Be diigent in
business. Improve the heart and the
mind, and YOU will ind "the we'll spring
# enjoyment in your own souls, and
secure the confidence and respect of all
chose whose respect is worth an effort to
,btain.

"A few days since circular was sent to
the teachers in every school district IN the
Annty, saying that Teachers institute ior
Soto CO., would be held at this place, d9,
rinlthe week, commencing Monday, April
l28th., But since that time, o pledge has been
obtaiId from l.. Andrews, A. M, OF MASH
Ion Urion School, and Chairman OF the Ex-
ecutiye Iommitiee of. the State Teachers AS
sociatiohSthat he will come and hold an In
stitute in his county, commencing on Tues
iday, May Nh. We very gladly accept his
valuable sesices, and change the time of
holding the hstitute until that day, ....s.
Mr.. Andrews is an experienced teacher,
and a Jealous Tiend Of the common school
cause. He give his whole time during this
season to- attending Institutes. He is capable
of imparting theSveliest interest to the oc-
casion; and, thusfar, has met with the most
aattering success. iaF "H'0
y In answer 10 tae circular we have received
many warm end cheering replies, which con-
vince us that there sye those who desire ear
nestly to see the cause, of common schools
advancing. and the teacRI's profession secu-
ring more elevated position in the good
opinion of the public. From one we quote
the following:
"The contemplated association is Just the
thing we stand in need of. Something must
be done to arouse the people to sense Of
their situation; and, perhaps this will as effec-
tually do that as any plan we can fall upon.
Teaching is not what it ought to bo; and
there are many, very many teaching, who are
doing the cause an injury. They are only
making it temporary business, ard do not
enter into the spiritof it. Their objectis TO
get little money to enable them to 60 into
some other business. To advance their pu-
pills is but secondary consideration with
them; and in this manner, the profession is
brought into disrepute. Now while this is
the case, teaching will not be reputable. But
there is no need of this, if the public mind
can only be aroused to behold their true stu
alton. This Ipresume, is the chief object in
forming this Institute; and for one will
strive to lend a helping hand in the good
cause"
A sufficient number Of such men, pulling
with long pull, and a strong pull, and 9
pulling together" would soon renovate public
sentiment on this subject, and secure for prac.
tical teachers the high position in the good
opinion of community which is justly theil
due. NJ E % t4
The Legislature Of the State have enacted
the following laws: "If forty teachers o
any county will signify their intention to at
tend an Institute one week in length, thu
State will appropriate sum of money no
exceeding one hundred dollars, when thu
teachers have first raised a sum equal to ont
half of the amount asked for. Will not thu
teachers of Scioto county avail themselves o
go liberal an offer from the State. Thirt,
have already been counted who will attend a
the coming feast. Will not others ladies ant
ventlemen move in this matter and show tina
there are atleast forty who are liue teachers il
