Too Much GandOr.

A clergyman the other day, while stop
ping at a Detroit hotel, missed his umbrella
from the stand, whereupon he helped him
self to a similar one, and went on a walk
up and down the streets. After noticing
that the "natives" seemed quite pleased
at both his white cravat and his umbrella,
as if they ought not to go together, he
took a look himself at the outside of his
borrowed umbrella, and there he found
painted in large white letters
~ stole this umbrella from j. @. Kingsley"
Our clerical friend took a look at the
clouds with q look "more in sorrow than
in anger" and concluded that there wasn't
rain enough to make it worth while to
spread an umbrella, or not that one at all
events.

Miscellaneous.
Do 1t Yoursesyes. BOYS.

Do not ask the teacher or some class
mate to solve that hard problem. Do it
yourself. You might as well let them
eat your dinner, as ado your sums" for
you. 1t is in studying as in eating; he
that does it gets the benefit, and not he
that sees it done In almost any school,
[ would give more for what the teacher
learns than for what the best scholar
learns, simply because the teacher is COM
PEELED to solve all the hard problems, and
answer the questions of the lazy boys.
Do not ask him to parse the difficult words
or assist you in the performance of any
of your studies, Do it yourself, Never
mind, though they look as dark as Egypt.
Don't ask even a hint from anybody.
Try again. Every trial increases your
ability, and you will finally succeed by
dint of the very wisdom and strength
gained in the effort, even though at first
the problem was beyond your skill. Its
the study and not the answer that really
rewards your pains.
Look at that boy who has just succeed
ed, after six hours of hard study perhaps;
how his large eye is lit up with proud JOY
as he marches to his class. He treads
like a conqueror. And well he may.
Last night his lamp burned late, and this
morning he walked at dawn. Once or
twice he nearly gave up. He had tried
his last thought; but a new thought
strikes him as he ronders the last pro-
cess. He tries once more and succeeds;
andnow mark the air of conscious strength
with which he pronounces his demonstra-
ton. His poor, weak schoohnate, who
gave up that same problem after his first
faint trial, now looks up to him with
something Of wonder, as to a superior be-
ing. And he is his superior. That pro-
blem lies there, a great gulf between those
boys who stood yesterday side by side.
They will never stand together as equals
again. The boy that did it for himself
has taken O stride upward, and what is
better still, has gained strength to take
other and greater ones. The boy who
waitedto see others do it has lost both
strength and courage, and is already look
ing for some good excuse to give up school
and study forcver.-C6nn School Journal.

Reading an Art.

One great error in learning to read is,
that children are hurried from the spelling
into the reading book. The hot-bed pro-
cess viii do better for any other branch
of study than this. The child should go
well upon all-fours before it attempts to
walk alone. The pupil should learn to
recognise words at a glance readily be-
fore he is to put in connected sentences.
This error comes both from the desire of
the pupil and the teacher to make a show,
at least, of improvement. The child that
has a little ambition feels proud of the
day that frees him from the spelling book.
He goes home boasting of his achieve
ments; the delighted mother forthwith i'm
perfumes her other half, until the preco-
cious child is furnished with a First Glass
Reader, and a chorus of praises proclaims
the faithfulness of the master" This
is an error so common and so natural that
there are but few teachers who have not
committed it. There are some who stout
ly maintain the utility of this method of
induction" over any other. But expe-
%rience, that "stern but faithful teacher"
has proved that in learning to read, "the
more haste the less speed" The scholars
triumph is brief. "He goes up a rocket
and comes down a stick" BY hurrying
him, he may be condemned to the IRENE
diable evil of being a poor reader all his
life.-Penn. School Journal.

f you have contracted the terrible disease

undermining the constitution and sapping the

How to Break up a cold.

DIR. Hall in his Medical Journal, gives
the following directions for breaking up a
cold: "A bad cold, like measles and
mamps, or other similar ailments, will run
its course in about ten days, spite ofwhat
may be done for it, unless remedial means
are employed within forty-eight hours of its
inception. Many q useful life may be
spared to be increasingly useful, by cutting
a cold short off, in the following safe and
simple AMI On the first day of TAX
ing the cold there is a very unpleasant
sensation of chillness. The moment you
observe this go to your room and stay
there; keep it at a temperature as will en-
tirely prevent this chilly feeling, even if it
requires a hundred degrees Fab. In adj
dition, put your feet in water halfleg deep,
as hot as you can bear it, adding hotter
water from time to time, for a quarter of
an hour, so that the water shall be hotter
when you take your feet out than when
you put them in, then dry them thorough
ly, and put On warm, thick, WOODEN stock
ings, even if be summer, (when colds are
the most dangerous,) and for twenty-four
hours eat not an atom of food, but drink
as largely as you desire of any kind of
warm teas, and at the end of that time, if
not sooner, the cold viii be effectually
broken, without any medicine whatever"
This theory is, no doubt, good for weak
constitutions, but for a hale hearty person
we would recommend the substitute OF
cold water drinks in place of hot tea.
