OLD DOG TRAY.

A POPULAR SONG.
The morn Of life is past,
And evening comes at last
1t brings me dream of a once happy day,
OF merry forms I've seen
Upon the village green,
Sporting with my old Dog Tray.
Cho-Old Dog Trays ever faithful,
Grief cannot drive him away,
He's gentle, he's kind; I'll never, never
find
A better friend than Old Dog Tray.
The forms called my own,
Have vanished one by one
The loved ones, the dear ones, have all pass'd
away;
Their happy smiles have flown,
Their gentle voices gone,
I've nothing left but Old Dog Tray.
When thoughts recall the past,
His eyes are on me cast;
/ know that he feels what my breaking heart
would say,
Although he cannot speak,
I'll vainiy, vainly seek,
A better friend than Old Dog Tray.

Axioms for Teachers.

An interesting paper, lately read be-
fore the United Association of School
masters of Great Britain, lays down the
following principles in education
l. Teachers of limited capacity, or
whose command of language is limited, In
variably teach best with text books, by
the individual system of instruction.
,. Men of fervid imagination, having
a great command of language, and also
enthusiasm of character, almost inyaria-
bly become superior teachers.
8. Decision of character almost inva-
riably forms an element in the qualifca-
tions of superior teacher.
a. Men who are deficient in general
knowledge and enthusiasm of character,
are generally bad teachers, even though
they may possess great technical acquire
ments.
5. An earnest man, imbucd with a love
of children, is rarely bad teacher.
6, The love of teaching is generally as
sociated with capacity for it, but the
converse does not so generally hold true.
I. A man of superior teaching powers
teaches we'll by any rational method but
he will always teach best by that method
which is suited to bis peculiar capabilities.
8. Men generally teach badly when they
attempt to teach too much, or when they
do not duly prepare their lessons.
! 9. Presence of mind, and that conf
