most part regarded as natural defects which
admit of no remedy or as not coming within
their province and thus they shelter their in
capacity.
1t is devoutly to be wished that all the
teachers in the primary departments of our
schools were such as Quintilian recommends !;
such as the wise among the Greeks and Ro-
mans would approve. But do we not in this
respect act in direct contravention of our ac-
knowledged practical acumen =?
Truly it is to be hoped that the good sense
of the community will ere long fully recognise
the advantage of employing and cOmpetently
rewarding teachers trained to form to the ex-
preston of melody and agreeable intonation,
the earliest efforts of the infant voice.

Running back covered under the upper banks
and witnessed the grandest pyrotechnical dis
play of which it is possible to form any conce-
tion. These six fountains threw up jets from
thirty to fifty feet high. The fountain, from
the spray of which so hastily rctreated, made
large deposits Of molten lava on the bank where
| had been standing, and when it ceased pro-
cured some very good specimens. This red
liquid matter, when cool, is q solid, brilliant
black substance, much resembling pitch. After
this sublime display short period of inacti-
witty eDsued as before, and then the waves of
FIRE commenced to roll and dash against the
little island as when we FIRST saw it, A con-
tinual boiling, ,bubbIiDg, and Sputterng is kept
up around the edges of this mighty cauldron,
precisely like the boiling Of pot. This crater
has probably been in action, more or less, from
time immemorial. Native tradition says that
it has probably been burning from the time of
chaos until now
Every day, for three days, we spent several
hours sitting upon the bank, and watching all
the varied changes and wonderful movements
of this lake. Changes are taking place contin-
ually. The lower banks are growing and de-
creasing continually. The work of demolition
and reconstruction is always going on. The
IhooO hOHuCiIul anu W uoJ otOiiOuo phCuOhi-
enon we Witnessed was on the second day Of
our visit to the crater. 1t was noon, and we
were sitting on high bank at lunch had

led by noise like the rushing together of vast
bodies of water. The natives jumped up in-
stantly, and raising an unearthIy shout, scamp
cred off in an opposite direction. Turning
toward the lake, L beheld scene which shall
never forget. |, too, had to run off some dis
tance to escape the great heat. The whole
surface Of the lake was in state of the widest
commOton Wave clashed on wave, and all
was confusion. Tremendous billows of FIRE
rolled from every side Of the lake and meet
ing nferce conflict around the island in the
center broke with fury over its black sides
Then, after reaching again, they rushed to the
onset once more, with increased force, and,
meeting together, shot up into the air perhaps
one hundred feet-one vast spiral body Of red
liquid lava, which finally combed over and fell
in graceful spray back into the lake again
When things had been res ored to their usual
ORDER the surface of the lake seemed to have
fallen at least ten feet.

MANY FACTS IN SMALL CoMrAss.-The num-

Der of men is about equal to the number of
women. The average of human life is 33 years

cd are longer lived than the single, and above

BEAUTIEUL ExTRAcT-When the summer of
youth is slowly wasting away into the night
fall of age, and the shadows of past years
grow deeper and deeper, as if life were on its
close it is pleasant to look back through the
vista of time upon the sorrows and fecities of
earlier years If we have home to shelter
and hearts to rejoice with US, and friends have
been gathered together by our freSides, then
the rough places of our wayfaring will havo
been worn and smoothed away in the twilight
of life, while the sunny spots we have passed
through will grow brighter aud more beauti-
ful. Happy indeed are those whose inter-
course with the world has not changed the
tone of their holier feeling, or broken those
musical chords of the heart, whose vibrations
are so melodious, so touching in the evening Of
age.

SECRET OF GREATNESs-It was a noble and
beautiful answer of Queen Victoria that she
gave an African Prince who sent an embass-
age with costly presents, and asked her in re-
turn to tell him the secret of Engand's great
ness and Englands glory The beloved Queen
sent him, not the number of her feet, not the
number of her armies, not the account of her
boundess merchandise, not the details of her
inexhaustbIe wealth she did not, like Heze-
kiah. in an evil hour, show the ambassador
her diamonds and her rich ornaments, but,
handing him beautifully bound copy of the
Bible she said, ''TelI the Prince that this the

whipped Mexican baby before he was six
mouths DID, At the age of three years he
electrified the universe thus Having been
taken by his parents to see foot-race between
two noted Indian runners, he turned to his
father and asked
"Why is patron of foot-races like phil
anthropist 2"
l know not, my angel boy" returned the
venerable Houston.
Because" said Samuel, "he is friend of
human progress"
After this, bis family compelled him to wear
a cold brick on his head ; and it is said, that
even now, while in Washington, he sometimes
carries the same article in his hat. At the
period when Texas rose in rebellion against the
Mexcans, because the latter kept getting up
revolutions among themselves every afternoon,
Houston was chosen general of the patriots,
and completely defeated the revolvers at San
Jacinto. In connection with this battle, and
by way of illustrating General Houston's great
precision of speech, they tell an
Anecdo,e.
Toward the conclusion of the battle of San
Jacinto Texas ranger dashed franticaly in
to tent where Houston was asleep, and arou-
sed him with the exclamation of
General, the day is ours"
You iliterate fellow ?" exclaimed the
brave old soldier, scowling at the frightened
man, why can't you speak properly? You
should say, q" the day is composed of hours"
The abashed ranger muttered someting about
being a soldier, and knowing nothing about
time whereupon Houston again reprimanded
him with
Know nothing about time, you scoundrel.
There is but one time that American soldiers
know nothing about, and that is fly time"
The ranger deserted that night
When General Huston was informed that
he had not been nominated by the Charleston
| Convention, he pressed his handkerchief to his
teardimmed eyes, and exclaimed, hurriedly
accept. Go and tell the people that
accept for their sakes"
Samuel Houston was unanimously nomnat-
ed for the Presidency by the Washington
Monument Convention of this city, and will
probably receive votes in every State except
Texas. The assertion that he should have
been nominated as Vice President of the Doug
las ticket, on account of his many vices is un-
worthy Of attention for moment

ORNAMENTAL WooDs -BOXwood is becOm.
ing so scarce, that pieces of suitable sizes for
wood engraving cost a considerable price and
and even then it cannot be found of sufficient
size for large cuts, and consequently blocks are
made up of small pieces, either glued or screw
ed together. The blocks thus made are OBJ
iectionable, because two pieces of wood will
not always be of the same density or quality,
and, as a result, the engraver cuts irregularly
in passing over the jennings, unless it be held
in very SkiIfnl hand and the joint does not
! always keep perfectly close, consequently in
printing from such block white line shows
across the picture where the joining occurs. To
obviate these difficulties, and to lessen the
cost, a method has been contrived of making
artificial boxwood, and, indeed, all kinds of
ornamental woods artifcially In this process
! the manufacturer takes some suitable cheap
wood-beech, maple pine or ceder, for instance
add having cut it into proper slices, sleeps
it in cheniical bath to remove the resin, gum,
Or other Objectionable ingredients. He then
dries it until it becomes quite porous, and then
in an exhausted vessel he fills the pores, by pre-
sure, with the serum of buIlock's blood, with
morine glue, or with any other suitable liquid
cement. When in this state of saturation it
is submitted to a crushing pressure by which
the woody fbres are brought as close together
as they are in the best lockwood, all the cement
being driven out except what is barely sufficient
to hold the fbres together in their new posi-
tion. Each block is then hoped, pIaned down
to an exact type thickness, the surface bleach
ed, and the material is then fit for u.s. 1t is
stated that by this process substance posses
sing all the requisite homogeniety, hardness
and absence of pores, is obtained, and of any
desired size

FACES IN THE FIRE.

watch the drowsy night expire,
And fancy paints at my desire
Her magic pictures in the fire.
An island-farm mid seas of corn,
Swayed by the wandering breath Of morn,
The happy spot where was born.
The picture faded in its place,
Amid the glow seem to trace
The shifting semblance Of face.
'Tis now little childish FORM.
Red lips for kisses pouted warm,
And ell-locks tangled in the storm.
'Tis now grave and gentle maid,
At her own beauty half afraid.
Shrinking, yet willing to be stayed.
'Tis now a matron with her boys,
Dear centre of domestic joys
seem to hear the merry noise.
Oh, time was young, and life was warm,
When first saw that fairy form,
Her dark hair tossing in the,storm
And fast and free those pulses played,
When last met that gentle maid
When last her hand in mine was laid.
Those locks of jet are turned to grey,
And she is strange and far away,
That might have been mine own to-day
That might have been mine own, my dear,
Through many and many happy year,
That might have sat beside me here.
Ay, chaugeless through the changing scene,
The ghostly whisperings between
The dark refrain of might have been"
The race is Ger | might have run,
The deeds are past l tight have done,
And sere the wreath might have won.
Sunk is the last faint Ackering blaze;
The vision OF departed days
Is vanished even as | gaze.
The pictures with their ruddy light
Are changed to dust and ashes white,
And am left alone with night.
