life. When a scholar perceives how he
may turn to account what be learns in
school, he will be likely to apply himself
with more earnestness to bis lessons.
In Orthography, spelling is seldom re-
quired except in writing, and scholar
may do very well orally and yet make
many mistakes when called to write let
ter; therefore it ought to be taught both
ways-by both orally and daily exercise
in writing words on the slate from dicta-
tion.
Geography is study depending much
on the memory of the pupil but few can
remember boundaries or places which
they have committed by rote, and there
fore the eye must be appealed to in or
der to aid the memory. The map IS to
be studied until the outline IS so familiar
as to be imprinted on his faculty. Draw
ing maps, not only on the black board
but on paper, aids much in accomplishing
this object; and outline maps to be filed
up by the pupils, are most valuable aux
iliaries.
Reading can only be properly taught
by the pupil first learning to give utter
ance, distinctly, to the different sounds Of
the letters, separately and in their COM
bination; initiating a good reader in the
proper emphasis, tone and stops; avoiding
all sing song, aud reading as be would
naturally speak in private, when detailing
such as the subject of the lesson.
The attempts at defamation in the Com
mon Schools are generally failures; and
sufficient attention is not given to the
subject, By teachers properly qualifying
themselves. At the Teachers Institutes
and in the Normal Schools, gentlemen
who have made the SUBJECT their study,
ought to be employed in giving instrue-
tion on this important branch. It can
not be so well learned merely from books,
but requires illustration to the eye and
ear.

The Law" and Constitution.

Among the visitors at Washington is
Judge Williamson, of Texas. commonly
known as Judge Willy"
Judge Willy was once presiding in st.
Augustine county, when legal bully at
tempted to intimidate him. Thompson,
having succeeded in packing jury to
suit his purposes, turned his attention to
the cort, and remarked.
off your honor please, here is the law
which governs this ease," at the same
time drawing bowie knife of unusual
size, and laying it across an open book
before him.
Fore warned, fore-armed, was Judge
Willy, and drawing from beneath his
hunting shirt, not Colt, but horse pistol,
he very calmly rejoined-
"This, sir, is the constitution, and Is
paramount to the law"
Mr.. Thompson peaceably aequiesced.

ANEcDoTE.-A newspaper, printed in
Boston fifty odd years ago, stated that a
crow had been caught by person in
London, New Hampshire, and learned to
speak a number of words. Having stray
ed from home, he lit upon the corner of a
barn, where girl was milking beneath.
Upon seeing Miss, he bawled out 81
am coming, I am coming" The girl,
supposing she had been sold to the "old
one," scampered off and reported what
she had seen. The elders of certain
religious society assembled and abjured
the crow to depart, who happened to be
in the humor of saying, "I'm going, I'm
going" This caused general shout of
Joy, but their merriment was considerably
dampened by his crowship's declaring,
"I'll call as come back" to avert which,
they ordained three weeks Of fasting and
prayer.

One Drop at a Time.

Life" says the late John Foster, is
expenditure; we have the use of it, but
are as constantly wasting it. Suppose a
man confined in some fortress, under the
doom to stay there till death; and suppose
there is there for his use a dark Reservoir
of water, to which it is certain none can
ever be added. He may suppose the
quantity is very great, he cannot penetrate
to ascertain how much, but it may be
very little. He has drawn from it, by
means of fountain, good while already,
and draws from it every day. But how
would be feel each time of drawing and
each time of thinking of i'll Not as if
be had perennial spring to 60 to. Not
az have a reservoir, [ may be at ease. p
No! but 81 had water yesterday-1 have
water to-day; but having had it, and my
my having it to day, is the very cause
that shall not have it on some day that
is approaching. And at the same time [
am compelled to this fatal expenditures"
So of our mortal, transient life And
yet men are very indisposed to admit the
plain truth, that life is thing which they
are in no other way possessing than as
necessarily consuming, and that even in
