Aids to Teachers.


The following rules, if we'll observed, have
seldom been known to fail Of accomplishing
their intended object.
LIST, So arrange affairs that in case any
failure in school should occur, all the risk
shall be the teachers
I'd, Whenever school is opened in your
village, send your children out of town to
school, it learns children q great deal to 90
out of town.
I'd, AS soon as new teacher comes into
the place, ascertain what Church he attends,
what Doctor he employs, and what Almanac
he takes; and if he does not 60 to your meet
ing, employ your Doctor, and take youY Al
manae, he is not the man for your place do
not patronize him.
18th, Send in your children, but if they
wish to stay at home every other day, let
them, and be sure and take them out of the
school at the middle of the term twill, in
some cases save, half the tuition.
9th, Send one or more scholars to school
to watch the Teachers and report daily, all
their doings and sayings.
9th, Ask the nearest neighbors what sort
Of " carvings on" they have at the school ?
and believe all you hear.
7th, Never visit the school or take any
particular interest in it.
9Th, If one of your children gets spoken tc
for misconduct take them at once from the
school, It's not likely your children ever be
have improperly
9th, If you chance to meet the Teacher
accidentally, never invite him to call-anC
never call on him.
10th, If you can hunt mp any report
about the Teachers education, standing
wealth, poverty, or anything derogatory tt
his character, do not let them lose anything
going through your mouth, but keep then
for the circulating currency Of the neighbor.
hood Finally as soon as good school gets
started, use all your influence Wit the lead
ing men to put it down. HELEN MAR.

Fashions for Sunday.

A poor widow with several children, who
supported her family with her needle, una
Bile to afford the style of dressing to which
she had formerly been accustomed, and
which was common among church-goers
staid away from the house Of God. Anoth-
er widow has recently assigned similar
reason for never going to church. Aud an
entire family of six pcrsons-respectable
people-liye near the writer, who absent
themselves from the sanctuary, because, II
the depths of their poverty they have tC
dress in the cheapest attire, Probably every
one who is at all acquainted with the annals
of the poor, knows of instances OF tine SAINT
kind The feeling Of aversion to appearing
at church in their cheapest garb is especially
strong in those " who have seen better
times" 1t is readily granted that the feel
ing is a wrong one but it does exist, anC
does keep many persons, especially womel
and children, from the house Of God Now
what is the best way Of removing the diff
Guilty, which keeps, perhaps, several thousand
of persons in our country from attendin;
church though they live quite near enoug
to go? In few instances, the hand of be
nevoencc might give the clothing desired
but to many such u gift would be offensive
The best way Of me ting the difficulty,
the plan adopted in one Of the cities south

The fashion of dressing very p,ainly ft
the sanctuary is being introduced. Some
the ladies " Of the first circle " go up
worship dressed in plain calico. How az

a level How much better suited to ii
sanctuary, where we 60 to confess that "
are spiritually poor and needy, than the rici
er attire which is so often but the exhibitio
of pride aud vanity. How much more de
cate and truly do we express brotherl
and ssterly feeling for Gods poor, by adop
ing the style which poverty compe's them
adopt, than by sweeping by them in cost
plumes and flashing silks to our pew
Should this plain, cheap style Of drossln

EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE TEA DRINKING

EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE TEA DRINKING.--
The friend who supplied this hashish expe-
rience also supplied us with the following ac-
count OF the result of an excess in tea drink

peculiar effects Of hashish in large doses will

Physical Education.

We find in an exchange the following COM
mon sense views, which we wish were more
generally needed by those upon whom dovoI-
yes the solemn duty OF educating the rising
generation.
At the present time, when intellectual actv-
lity marks our entire population, and when
our children have more active brains than
muscle, proper physical education should be
regarded as of the very first Importance.
Let your boy befog bis whole being, phys
zeal, mental, and moral, with tobacco, and
however well directed the care bestowed up
on him by his teachers, the result of this I'M
fortunate physical habit will pain your heart
some time, though you may not know the
cause. Let your child 60 from a highly sea-
soned dinner Of gross meats, mince pie, and
coffee, of oysters, sardines, and wine, to the
schoolroom and while his unnatural food is
in process Of digestion, attempt to study,
and it is like loading a race-horse with heavy
weights before putting him on the course.
But to require child Of five, seven or ten
years to think vigorously and closely, is like
commanding him to cut his own throat Let
children think naturally and freely. Make
knowledge attractive to them, but never cul-
tiyate the mind at the expense of the body.
The prevalent sentimentality that makes il
vulgar to regard the wel-bcing of the body
is fraught with luiuous consequences. We
want Professors of Physiology OF Rompins
and Fun, in our public schools, as much as
We want Professors of Mathematics, or o
the Natural Sciences. Children in thei
sports, want vigorous Influence of joyful ant
untrammclcd maturity, and they would hav
it, were less talse dignity in the world. A
good scholar, who is nothing else but a goo
scholar, may exist without health, but tru
ly noble man, instinct with expanded mora
and intellectual life, even in his temper ant
holy in his emotions, to whom knowledge
a servant and research Il pastime, to WHOM
one is not u task master and the other a tas
such an one can not exist without SCUM
health.

THE MOUNT OF OLyEs.-I am told that, a
month ago, the Mount of Olives was covered
with beautiful flowers; now they are all over
and as the most of the corn is cut, it is
rather bare, 1t is dotted over with scattered
olive trees, which, i'll our Savior's time, were
probably thick groves, giving Il good shelter
from the heat of the sun. Its present lock
is peculiar; the rock is a light gray lime.

A friend of ours, remarkable for strong,
GOOD sense, married very accomplished
and fashionable young lady, attracted more
by her beauty and accomplishments than by
anything else. In this, it must be owned
that his strong, good sense did not seem very
apparent His wife, however, proved to be
very excellent companion, and was deeply
attached to him, though she still loved COM
pany, and spent more time abroad than he
exactly approved. But, as his income was
good, and his house furnished with goo
supply OF domestics, he was not aware OF any
abridgment of comfort on this account, and
he, therefore, made no objections to it.
One day, some few months after his mar
riage, our FRIEND on coming home to dinner,
saw no appearance of his usual meal, but
found his wife in great trouble instead.
" What's the matter p he asked.
" Nancy went off at ten O'Clock this morn
ing" replied his wife, and the chamber
maid knew no more about cooking a dinner
than the man in the MOON"
"Couldnt she have done it under your
direction ?" Inquired her husband very
coolly. =,
" Under my my direction? l should like
to see dinner cooked under my dire9ton."
Why 50 % asked the husband in sur
prise, you certainly do not mean to say
that you cannot cook dinner.
IL certainly do, them, replied his wife.
d" How should | know anything about cook
iug?
The husband was SILENT but look Of as
constituent perpexed and worried his wife.
You look very much surprised" she,
said, after moment Or two had elapsed.
And so am" he answered as much
surprised as | should be in finding the cap
tain of one of my ships unacquainted with
navigation. Don't you know how to cook
and the mistress of family? Jane, il
there is cooking school anywhere in tho
city, go to it, and complete your education
for it is deficient in very important partc.

A Boys Song.
BY ETTRICK SHEPHERD.

Where the pools are bright and deep,
Where the gray trout lies asleep,
Up the river and o'er the lea,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the blackbird sings the latest,
Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest
Where the nestlings chirup and fee,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the mowers NOV the cleanest,
Where the hay lies thick and greenest,
There to trace the homewaid bee,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Where the hazel bank is seepest,
Where the shadow falls the deepest,
Where the clustering nut falls free,
That's the way for Billy and me.
Why the boys should drive away
Little sweet maidens from the play,
Or love to banter and fight so well,
That's the thing l never could tell.
But this know, love to play,
Through the meadow, among the hay;
Up the water and o'er the lea,
That's the way for Billy and me.

Oh thou bighng Jack Frost where hast thou not been
On hilltop and valley thy footsteps are seen,
Thouhast laid thy cold hand Natures fair brow,
And sackcloth IS the mantle which covers her now.
All thou cruel Jack Frost why cams thou SO cold'

And her coropal wreath is fadedand sere,
And her cheek, all tits wet with many a tear
Not long since with pleasure gazed on the flowers,
Which spa Killed. with dewdrops in Flora's sweet bowers
But thy frosty fingers their petals have torn,
And in silence they've dropped like Love met by Scorn

Farewell, We warblers, since We too must part;
True emblem of friendships which cannot abide

COPS BoUNTY.-The flowers do not i'm.
plore the sun to meet them. He looks down
with genial warmth, aud draws them forth
from the dark ground to rejoice in his light
And why should we hesitate to ask God for

cold and unwilling, when over us he hangs
like the sun over the earth, rich in all bounty
and longing to bestow it
