- Thompson.
What are the pleasures Of teaching This
question may seriously arise IN the minds Of
persons who look upon teaching as dull, mo-
notonous business; and, even those feathers who
have hired themselves to teach because they had
nothing else to do, have no idea Of its import,
and cannot comprehend It's meaning. But the
true teacher, one who has the interest
of has calling al heart, never stops
10 ask that rugation; be realizes it every day.
He finds pleasure in teaching, because his cal

MAYOR 8ANDERSON REELECTED 81
Es0 MAJORITY!

The municipal election on Tuesday last re-
suited gioriou8ly for the Democracy. The 0p-
position OF ali grades and hues-Repu5!icans,
Kuow-N1fhings, and rank Atolitionists aided
by several thousand dollars furnished from the
Middletown Bank, The 'sFInt Milf OF tins city
and from Washington-made desperate effort
to retain control 81 the city but it all would
not DO. The indomitabe Democracy bore
themselves most calamity 10 the contest, and
noj only reversed the Republican majority OBJ
tanned last October on very meagre vote, but
Reelected MAYOR SAEDEGsoH by a majority Of
170, thus making a difference OF 800 votes since
the last State election, and q gaia Of l57 votes
ovef his majority of last year over the same
competitor, Han. Thomas II. Burrcwes.
We not only elected oar candidate for Mayor
but also the High Constable, two Of the City
Consta5lss, all three members ot the Select
Council, eleven Of the fifteen members Of Com
mon Conncil-thus giving Us 4 majority Of 2 to
on JOINT ballot, together vita ihree OF the iour
Lndzsa af ia'-@:inn, aad several of The minor o.
iices.
The victory is complete. The old Demo
cratic City has again wheeled into line, and the
result here Is an earnest Of what may be expec-
led 10 Pennsylvania next October and Novem-
Der. The Democracy Of Lancaster Citv have
FIRED THE FIRST GUN in tie campaign,

ACURE0lS FACT.

At the time OF the explosion on board The
Great Eastern, curious fact was noticed, those
who were most hart and Wh1 first died, seemed
the least injured when they first appeared above
deck, and even were able to walk without as
sistance. On this point writer ia the Lon
don Tines, says
"a man blown up by gunPowder is mere
figure OF raw flesh which seldom moves after
the explosion. Not 50 with men blown up by
steam, who, for few minutes are able to walk
about, apparently unhurt, though, in fact, NOR
tally injured beyond all hope Ct recovery
This was SO with one or two, who, as they e.
merged from below, walked aft with that inde-
scribable expression in their faces resembling
astonisbnent and ia!ter1g OF the gait and
movements like one who walks in his Sleep
Where not begrimed by the smoke or ashes, the
peculiar bright, soft whiteness OF the face, hands
or breast iold at once that The skin, though un-
broken, had, in fact, been boiled by the steam
One man walked along with the movement and
look, I have eDdea vored TO describe, ana seemed
quite unconscious that the flesh cf his thighs,
lmosl probably by the ashes in the furnace,) was
burnt IN deep holes. To some one who came
to his assistance, he said, quietly ~ am all
right, there are others worse than me 20 look
after them" The poor man was the first 10 die

Practical Joking.

The contemplate species of fun known
as practical Joking ought to be played
aut We all know the immense amount
Of fun it is to the crowd in the street to
see a man in pursuit of his hat, which has
been blown off by an unexpected rush
around the corner of high wind-or a
drunken wind, if you please, But it ism t
i'm to him 1t is a source of ineffable de-
light to the crowd whena man is suddenly
brought to hc ground by treading upon
an orange skin, but it isn't particularly fun
ny to Kim, especially if the fall discolates
his hip bones. Capital jokes are not the
cheese They are sure to injufe some
one, either in body, limb or mind. \
pFaStica! Joker may be a very Sunny, witty
man. in his own opinion; but we marvel
much if he is overburdencd with kindness,
or geniality, however boisterous may be
his protcstations of regard for the feelings
Of his associates The practical joker
should be regarded with contempt rather
than favor He Is a nuisance which ought
not to be tolerated. His delight is to
make his neighbors or his friends misera-
bic. aud TO give them, that he may enjoy
himself all the trouble and annoyance and
mental and bodily anguish his ingenuity
ran invent And this he calls n practical
Joke There is quaint story told of a
young collegian who rather liked an occa-
sionaI Indulgence in playing unpleasant
practical jokes upon his friends. The story
runneth thus:
One afternoon he walked out with one
Of his instructors, and they CHANGED to see
pair of old shoes lying by the side of the
path, which appeared to belong to poor
man at work close by.
Let us have a little amusement at his
expense said the student. Suppose we
hide these shoes, and conceal ourselves in
The bushes to watch his perplexity when
he cannot find them
Il can think of better trick than that,
said the instructor You are rich, andsup-
pose you put silver dollar In the toe OF
each shoe, and then we will hide. The
young man did so. The poor man finished
his work soon, and went to put on his
shoes You can imagine his surprise
when he stAoped down to take pebble, as
he supposed, from the toe, and found il
to be hard dollar, and then his absolute
perplexity and astonishment, when he
found still another in the other shoe. His
feelings overcame him; he fell upon his
knees, looked up to heaven, and uttered
aloud a fervent thanksgiving, in which he
thanked a kind Providence for sending
some unknown hand to save from perish
Ing his sick and helpless wife, and child
ren without bread
Do you wonder, reader, that the studen,
witnessing that scene stood there with
fearful eyes ?
