Frightening Children.

We know of nothing more reprehensible,
nothing more dangerous and iniudicious,
than the practice of frightening children in
the nursery, at the family freside, and in
the social circle, by retailing TO them ghost
stories, goblin tales and witchcrait fctionS.
They receive painful impression from which
their nervous system does not recover for
years, perhaps not during their whole lives
Children and young persons have generally
great curiosity in relation to these tales of
The imagination, especially when they are
attended by some gossipping nurse, whose
head, being empty of good sense, has been
filled brim full of ghost legends and black
letter recollections. If there is worse con-
diiiop upon earth than that into which mon
slrous superstition plunges an imaginative
child, we have no conception of It's curdling
horrors. Never 10 lay the head upon the

tory OF early, innocent, and otherwise happy
childhood. These midnight horrors haunt
the imagination eyes TO old age. They may
lose somewhat of their painful vividness,
their appalling stinctness-something of
their curdling horrors, SO potent in its mys-
tery, and so terrific even in its irnpossibility
but these terrors hnger in the imagination
still, ready 10 be called up in every suspic.
ions spot, awakened in every solitude, in
spite OF all the judgment can do or the per-
son can urge. For moment, at certain
times, even TO old age, the heart will throb
with painful distnctness, the hair will be.
come perpendicular, and a dsagreeable
shudder will make the blood cold in his
veins, even when manhood has reached lis
prime. To be sure, the judgment soon dis.
pels these unfounded fears, but they will
haunt the victim at times, to his dying day.
These are some of the painful deleterious
effects of frightening children in the early
season OF their growth. How important it
is that parents should guard them against
these early groundess terrors, exciting the
early imagination, and claiming the tremb.
ling victim TO the indescribable agony of
this nervous bondage for all its future life.

A Plucky preacher.

A Methodist preacher well known for his
uncom promising hostility to all intoxicating
drinks, had made an appointment to preach
in neighborhood notorious for its iitem-
perance. 1t was generally understood that
his remarks were chiefly to be directed
against the beselting sin of the district in
which he was TO preach, and several noted
bullles had given out that they intended to
whip him if he touched on what they meant
should be forbidden ground. The day ap-
pointed for preaching arrived, and the
preacher appeared on the stand. A large
number OF his friends from adjacent dis
tricts, hearing of threats against him, had
come 10 the meeting in order, il necessary.
to project him from violence. but the preach
er had no intentions that any of his friends
should fight on his account; he was able
to do his own fighting. Accordingly, on
mounting the stand, he had thrown off his
coat and vest. and rolled up his shirt sleeves,
displaying the arm aid chest of Hercules.
He said he had heard there were several
men present. who had threatened 10 whip
him that he had many friends present who
were able ard willing to project him. He
said he did not like fighting, but if there
must be fighting on his account, he would
rather do it himself than have his friends
fight for him, and as he did not wish the
services interrupted. he would prefer that it
should take place before the meeting was
opened. "And therefore," said he, IF
there is any man here who thinks he can
whip me and intends TO try it, il he will
have the goodness 10 step forward will
flax him out with as much ease as now
lit brother Smith," saying while he seized
a preacher who stood by his side and who
was small sized man, by the waistband
oil the breeches, and lifted him from the
ground, held him out arms length with ons
hand. The exhibition of physical strength
prevented any demonstration or the part
oi his enemies, and the meeting proceeded
without interruption.

Sleeping with the Landlords Wife.

| We give the annexed incident in regard
TO Rev. Zeb Twitchell, methodist clergy
man in full and regular standing, and a
member of the Vermont conference:
At one time he represented Stockbridge
in the State Legislature. Zeb, says our in
formant, is man of fair talents, both as a
preacher and musician. In the pulpit he
is grave, solemn, digni6ed, and thorough
systematic sermouizer; but one of it there
is no man living who is more full of fun
and drollery. On one occasion he was
vending his way towards the seat of the
Annual Conference ofMinisters, in company
with another clergyman. Passing coun-
try inn, he remarked 10 the other clergy
man
"The last time stopped at that tavern,
slept with the landlords wife"
In utter amazement, his clerical friend
wanted to know what he meant
&c mean just what say" replied Zeb;
and on went the two travellers in unbroken
silence until they reached the conference.
In the early part of the session, the con-
ference sat with doors for the purpose of
transacting some private business, and es.
pecialy TO attend 10 the annual examina-
tion OF each members private character, or
rather conduct, during the past year. For
this purpose the clerk called Zeb's name.
"Does any one know aught against the
character OF brother Twilchell during the
past year 2" asked the bishop, who was the
presiding officer.
After moments silence, Zeb's travelling
companion arose with heavy heart and
grave countenance; said he had duty to
perform-one that he owed TO God and the
church, and 10 himself; he must therefore
discharge it fear!essly, though tremblingly
He then related what Zeb had told him
while passing the tavern, how he slept with
the landlords wife, ETC.
The grave body OF ministers were struck
as with thunderbolt, although few smil-
ed and looked first at Zeb, then upon the
bishop, knowingly, for they knew better
than the others the character of the accus-
ed.
The bishop called upon brother T., and
asked him what he had to say in relation
TO so serious charge. Zeb rose and said:
dlG the deed | never lie y!
Then pausing with an awful seriousness,
he proceeded with slow and solemn de-
liberation:
"There was one liulecircnmstance, how.
ever, connected with the affair, did not
name 10 the brother. 1t may not have
much weight to the conference, but although
ii may be deemed of triaing importance,
will state it When slept with the land
lords wife, as told the brother, kept the
tavern myselfw

A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Courier
tells how Daniel Webster offered himself TO
the woman of his choice:
"Mr Webster married the woman he
loved, and the twenty years he lived with
her brought him TO the meridian of his great
ness An anecdote is current on this sub
Iect which is not recorded in the book. Mr..
Webster was becoming intimate with Miss
Fletcher, when skein of silk getting into
a knot MIR. Webster assisted in unraveling
the snaEl-then looking up TO Miss Grace,
he said: We have united knot, don't YOU
think we could tie one q Grace was little
embarrassed, said not a word, but in the
course of few minutes she tied knot in
piece of tape and handed it TO MIR. w.
This piece of tape, the thread of his domes.
tic joys, was found after the death of MIR.
Webster, preserved as one of his most prec.
ious relics"

she being the first woman he had seen for
several days; kissed her and offered her

Hints TO Young Teachers.

The following good hints 10 those who
contem plate taking upon themselves the
weishty responsibilities and arduous duties
necessarily connected with the profession
of Teaching, are from the Michigan Journal
of Education, but we presume they will suit
this locality, admirably. Try them:
/. Meet your school at the outset, with
quiet and natural demeano.. Affect neth-
er s,erness nor affibility. Say a few simple
words to your scholars, that you hope to do
them good, and will try 10 do the best you
can for them.
2. II whispering or disorder occurs, pause
at once, and do not proceed until order is
restored. The mere pause is generally
sufficient for this.
8. Remember that good discipline is the
principal thing; without this there can be
10 successful teaching.
q. Govern yourself; do not fly into pas
sion never stamp or scod, and do not
threaten or talk too much. Let kindly
interest in your pupils temper all your ac-
tions.
5. Have the school room kept tidy and
comfortable; wash off scribbling and ink
spots, and hang up maps and charts 10 give
the room an attractive appearance.
6. lie, the lessons be short but truly mas.
tered. Go over the same ground again and
againln reviews. No lofty superstructure
can arise except on solid foundations.
I. Foster in your pupils spirit of justice
and generosity, kindness and forbearance,
and reverence for truth and duty.
8. Make daily preparation for your work;
the oldest and ablest teachers do this. You
will be able 10 give clear explanations, to
;nfuse life and spirit in your instructions.
Q. Remember that your every act 10 close.
iy watched, and that example teaches more
powerfully than precept That teacher who
is gentleman in dress and demeanor-
whose language is PURE, simple and TRUTH
ruL-whose department is gentle, graceful
and kind, will awaken respect in both pu
pills and parents that will make his task easy
10. Put yourself into communication with
neighboring teachers. If there be no Teach
er's Association, organize one as soon al
possibly.

AN Irish gentleman perceiving that one
of the great branches of an apple tree in
his garden had been by some accident en-.
tirely blasted, was determined to lop it off.
To effectuate his purpose, the shrewed son
of st. Patrick mounted the tree, and got
across the s0ithered branch and began very
deliberately 10 saw off betwixt himself and
the main trunk. The withered branch be-
ing nearly cut through, gave way, and down
tnmbled the gallant Hibernian, not a little
stunned by the fall, and considerably bruis-
ed by the weight of the incumbent branches,
but still most astonished at the mystery Of this
inexplieablc aeeidentl
