The Teachers

Society can never make a return TO the
teacher Tor all that re has done FOX it,
There is no fortune to be made, scarcely any
fame 10 be acquired, in The painful duties
which he iuiils. Destined to see his life
pass awayIn monotonous occupation, some
times even to meet with injustice, or the in
gratitude Of ignorance, he would often feel
grieved, and perhaps sink under such trials
if he did not derive his strength and courage
from other sources than the prospect OF pre-
sent and purely personal interest He must
be sustained or animated by profund sense
Of the mora! importance OF his labors. The
austcre pleasure Of having served mankind,
and secretly contributed to the public by
conscience alone. His glory consists in as
piring TO nothing beyond his obscu3s and la
bOrious condition. in wearing hlmselr out in
sacrifices which are hardly remarked by
those who profit By them.

The Problem not Solved Yet.


Mr.. w. S.:-"To solve an equation is to
find the value of the unknown quantity"
(Ray's Algebra, part I'd, Art. 1867 You
attempt to prove that my problem is indeter-
inmate, consequently that it cannot be solv-
ed; yet you claim to have solved it.
Again: "An equation is stermed independ-
ent, when the relation of the quantities
which it contains, cannot be obtained di.
rectly from others with which it is com
posed" CART 1917. In my problem the
I'd and Sd equations are each independent
Of the lst, and are also independent of each
other; hence there are three Independent
equations, and there are only three unknown
quantities; but ga problem is indeterminate
when the number of unknown quanttle,
exceeds the nurber of independent equa
tions, { Art. 1867 hence you see that it i,
yourself, and not my problem, that has

AS to the answers, say to you as say
to "shOol boys" never desire the answer
but the solution, which every "Jake" can
not furnish; but when you furnish salts

furniture establishments in that city, by the
Pacha of Egypt, in coutemp platiou OF the

crlbed: The work is OF an arabe>que
character; the bedstead is composed lhrough-
out of pierced open metal work. doubIy
plated, with scrolls of matted aud FURNISHED
silver in high relief. The head is pierced

polished pillars at each corner support
gracefully arched open work, over which is

Army Sunplies.

We understand from reliable source
that the secretary Of war has recently made
n prjrdic arrangement with certain specu-
lotors to deliver to the U. s. commlssory
department at This point, fifteen hundred
mules for the Utah expedition, at one hun
drcd and Siriy dollars per head; and that
the documents for the same have been
signed, sealed, and delivered. The GUAR
ermaster.general, las heretofore had this
duty entrusted to his Judgment, but in this
instance, he has been entirely ignored, and
the whole matter settled at Washington for
him. While we have no particular obiec-
tions TO the secretary Of war doing the bus
mess OF his subordinate officers, we do OBJ
ject 10 these heavy contracts being made
SUB rosa with priygae parties, and without
any notification being given in the usual
form. The heavy stock raisers Of Missou-
ri, Kentucky Tennessee, and Illinois, where
almost all the mules Of the country are
raised, and who no doubt would have been
glad OF an opportunity TO sell lheir Stock 10
the United States at fair prices, are the sur-
Ierers by such acts. As the mo'ler now
stands it is in the hands Of u few spccnla-
tors, who are no doubt rushing through the
country, buying up mules at the smallest
figures. We think it is nothing more than
our duty 10 put our farmers on their ard
against this act of the secretary Of war, that
they may know the price which the gov
ernment agrees to pay, and thus regulate
their own prices TO government purchases
It is Il small business on the part orthc sec
retary Of war, and out Of the Legitimate
sphere of MS duties, and Congress shouIc
at least make that officer conform to tht
Jaws and regulations OF the United State:
upon such matters.

New YORK. Feb. |.

The Hcrald's Washington correspondent
says that the tariff investigating committee
had prolracted session on Saturday. Mr..
Stone had now been before them for four
days, and they have not got through with
him yet. He testified that 0. B. Matlc>on
during the pending OF the tariff bill, stated
that it would take at least $;25,OOO 10 get
the bill through Congress; that Matleson
proceeded from Washington 10 New York
for the purpose Of making tie arrangement
but he does not state whether Naueson re
ceived the money. When asked by mem.
Der ol the committee whether he had evel
loaned any money 10 members of Congress
he hesitated and quibbled, but finally sale
that he did not think they had a right 10 ask
him such question. The committee insist
ed upon an answer, and he then stated tha
there had been some money loaned, but how
much he did not know; Mr.. Banks borrowe,
$1,000, and another member had borrowe
some which the books of the company show
ed had never been paid.

Is it g Benefit to Advertise.

There are those in the world who can
never be persuaded TO advertise their bust
ness, even TO the smallest amount-such
men seldom get rich. One of the great Sc
crets of success with the millonaries Of the
East, was the liherality with which they
we're accustomed 10 place themselves md
their business before those TO whom they
looked for support In mercantile affairs
this same course cannot fail 10 work won
ders. True, the man who amasses wealth
by the sudden rise OF Real Estate might not
have become the richer by any system OF
advertising. HIS wealth comes without aMy
effort on his part, and indeed he can hardly
be poor If he would. But how with the
dealers in Groceries. Hats and Caps, every
description of Dry Goods, Hardware, Sc.
can they become rich without an effort? Oh.
say they, II l go into business people vii

at low rates, and ensure them 10 be Of the
first quality That may be very true, bu
for every customer who finds You wilhou
advertising, twenty would find you with ad
vertising. No man can be so popular bu
some one may never have heard of him
for the trade Of such you must alUeriise.

STERILIZATION.

Whithersoever we 60 we meet with the
sniveler He stops us at the corner OF
the street to entrlst us with his opinion.
He fears that the morals and intelligence
of the people are d .stroyed by the cleo
ton of some rogue to office. He tells u.s.
just before church, that the last sermon Of
some transcendental preacher has given
the death blow to religion, and that the
waves of atheism and the clouds of pan
theism are to deluge and darken all the
land. In n time of general health, he
speaks of the pestience that is to be. The
mail cannot be an hour too late, but he
prattles of railroad accidents and steam
boat disasters. He fears that a friend
who was married yesterday, will be bank
rupt in n year, and whimpers over the
trials VIII ch he will then endure. He is
ridden with All eternal nightmare, and
emits an eternal wall Recklessness is a
bad quality, and SO is blind and extrava-
gent hop but ne Their is 80 degrading
or inglorious as inactive despair.
We object to the sniyeler, because he
presents the anomaly of a being Who has
the power Of motion without possessing
life. HIS insipid languor is worse than
t:mid strength. Better that a man should
rant than whine. The person who has
no bounding or buoyant feeling in him,
whose check never fushcs ut anticipated
good, whose blood never tingles and fires
at the contemplation of noble aim, who
has no aspiration and no great object in
life, is only fit for the hospital or the
handbook. Enterprise, confidence, dis
position to believe that good can be done,
an indisposition to believe that all good
has bccn-thcse constitute important elc-
ments in the character of every man who
is of use to the world. Wewant no wall
ing and ,whimpering about the absence
of happiness, but a strong determination
to abate misery Whipple.

An Anti-LecOmptOn Sunday

1t is no. presumed that all the Sabbath
Schools in Philadelphia are anti Lecomp-
ton, but the sentiments of one OF them
came out in rather an unexpected way
last Sunday. An occasion of unusual
interest had brought a very full atten-
dance on the exercises of the school, and
in honor of the event the pastor or rec
tor of the church, under whose care it is
delivered n capital address which was
rather oddly interrupted. He was CIV
ing the hundreds of bright and intelligent
little people, who eagearIy listened to his
simple and beautiful address, reasons why
they should love the Savior.
He said "Now children, yoti should
love Him because He is a friend whom it
is an honor to have. Suppose you should
get letter from some one IN the penl-
tentiary-would that be an honor"
Of course the larger children said NO
and the hundreds of younger ones echo
ed -"No SIR 4 aE4ez
| aWell then" said the minister, "sup-
pose Governor Packer would write to you
would that be an honor?"
/ The children large and small Of course

Mr.. Rodney, although hard pressed and
| with no time to lose, yentured to cast one
backward glance at his pursuer. The
sight was enough to strike even his stout
heart with terror. The tongue of the
bear, red and swollen, protruded from his
mouth; white foam covered his lips; the
teeth, sharp and shining, were visible in
the jaws open already for the seizure Of
his victim; the ears were thrown back
close to the head like those of an angry
horse, and stream of fire seemed to issue
from the sockets of the glazing eycballs.
Escape, longer than for few moments,
seemed now utterly impossible. A dis
lance of more than mile lay between
the planter and bis home. Thick bushes
and brambles impeded every foot of the
way as far as the hog-pen, near which he
must pass to emerge from the jungle in
the direction of the house. To deviate
from the path he had come, which was
partially trodden down by the transit of
himself and the bear over it, and by the
occasional visits of the latter from the hills
to the pen, would be to entangle himself
in the underground and fall an immediate
victim to the rapacitJ of his pursuer,
whose heavy bulk enabled him to force a
swifter passage through the thicket.
Along this path, therefore, Mr.. Rodney
dartcd witt the speed of a man conscious
that his life depended upon the feetuess
of his foot. Half the distance between
the hill and the pen had been passed.
Only a hand-breadth of space interviewed
between the planter and the muzzle of
the bear, outstretched and open to seize
him. The hot foam spattered over him,
and the hotter breath almost blistered his
skin through the thick covering of his
clothes. There-he's gone. No! the
sharp crack of a rifle rings through the
woods, and the bear springs forward and
falls head across the legs of the planter
who had been thre WIN, by his death-leap,
PROSTATE on the ground.
A hunter going early that morning to
join his comrades in the chase for deer,
CHANGING to cross the path of Mr.. Rodney
and the bear, saw the peril of the former,
and, firing from close distance, sent a
heavy rifle ball through the brain Of the
latter. There was feast of bear meat
for many days at the house of the hospita-
bic planter, at which, we may be sure, the
hunter aforesaid was the most horored Of
the guests. aa'- 81 "
