CERTAINLY n MISTAKE.

turb it, says the parent, when rallied on
the subject ofvisiting sch"ls. Two things
may prompt such an expression: LIST,
desire to silence the promptines to duty;
and, 2nd, full persuasion of its truth
With the first we may not deal, nor pass
judgement upon it, as we cannot know the
workings Of the mind but of the second
we feel constrained to say, parents, you
are certainly mistaken. If scholars are
doing their duty, and the teacher is at his
post in good earnest, your presence will
encourage; if not, your kind admonition
will do much to animate and rectify. Pa

THE REASON WHY.

Why do you reduce fractions to CEN
mon denominator? Why invert the divi.
sor when you divide! Why does annex
ing q cipher multiply by ten! are the
questions prop"nnded by the eager pupil.
What more delightful music can fall upon
the car of the earnest teacher? With
what pleasure can he toll to satisfy this
longing in his pupils. He needs no surer
evidence that the seeds he is scattering are
taking root upon good soil. So sure is this
evidence that il there is II" such Indication,
he may question whether he is doing all
that one in his station should Questions,
when rightly asked, denote desire to
learn, and open the most direct avenues to
the mind. What then shall we say of that
class. that is cpntented t" pass through a
recitation without once asking the reason
why! Are they not either wholly lndif-
feren, to the subject before them, or, like
machines, contented to know and do the
show e. In either case, with whom rests
the blame! Doubtless much OF it upon
the scholars themselves, but the teacher is
far from being free from blame in most
! instances. How then can the mind be
reused to inquiry! How made t" hunger
after the bread of knowledge? are qnes
tions that the teacher must answer ut the
outset, if he would hope for high degree
Of success. When this hunger after the
crumbs Of truth is aroused, how easy and
pleasant it is to teach. Everything in
nature offers an inducement t. the search
ing mind, Il mystery for it to solve. Books
lose their dullness at once, and put on
charm. The teacher has then ony to draw
from his own fountain and from the well
springs around him, and pour into the wa
tering ves>els,-only to guide the mind Il,
1t goes forth in search of the pearl and tht
flower. II. d. P.

A. A. Pierce writes to the american
Ayriculpisf. detailing an experiment Of
this character, as follows Il had a piece
Of ground which had become reduced by a
succession OF crops. so that it only produ-
ced five hundred pounds of hay to the acre
! wished to dig cellar under my barn,
and concluded to try an experiment with
the earth which was taken out. | measur-
ed off one acre of the field above mentionek
and drew the earth from the cellar upon it,
covering the piece to the depth of two or
three inches when it was evenly spread =
This was turned under the same autumn,
to the de pth Of SIX inches. The next
spring it was narrowed thoroughly and one
half planted to potatoes, and the other half
sown to oats The result was one hundred
and twenty bushels Of potatoes, as fine a
quality as ever | raised and thirty bushels
Of oats. aeain plowed it in the autumn
going two inches deeper than the previous
blowing. have since cut two tu0s Of
hay to the acre for two years. think the
four crops have well paid me for the trou-
bic Of trying the experiment, and the result
has been, thus tar. qui,e as good as though
| had applied thirty loads Of manure to the
land. The sill vas clayey; the eartL
applied was yellow loam | think that
the hixing of soils, as clay upon sand, or
sand upon clay, will prove a great benefit
where the materials for making an abun-
dance Of manure are scarce"
