GIVING AID TO THE ENEMY.

The abolition organs are doing their utmost
to prevent the enlistment of the fifty thousand
additional volunteers required to fill up the ranks
of the army thinncd by sickness and death.
They want blacks enlisted instead of white men,
thus dragging down tho AnsB Saxon race to
the level of the negro. In opposing the en-
listment of tho volunteers they are true to their
antecedents, their principles and their aspira-
tions They are aiding and assisting the reb'
el cheftains, and thus helping to establish ulti-
mate separation between the North and the
South, the plot in which they have been imph-
Gated with the Southern secessionists from the
beginning Both alike desire the dissolution Of
the Union, never to be reunited II Jeff Da-
Wis and Co., are traitors to the government
founded by Washington and his compatriots, 50
are the editors Of the abolition organs, who are
laboring forthe same end and playing into the
hands of the enemy.-N. 7. Herald.

A STRONG TEMPTATION.

During the stay of the Union army in the VI
cinity of Washington, one of the captains was
killed by rebel soldier, who was q good marks
man, and well known to our sharpshooters
and they determined to have him. So, one day,
while on picket duty, he was discovered skulk-
ing along at some distance, and it was arrang-
ed that all our men but one, sharpshootcr
named Strow. should retreat slowly, leaving
him concealed behind tree. AS they expect
ed, the rebel marksman followed, and when a
good opportunity occurred, fired upon the re-
treating force, and at the same instant was
shot through the heart BY the concealed sharp
shooter. This was in the brigade commanded
by General Smith, who has since obtained a
part of the regiment of sharpers to accom-
panv his advance.
While this detachment was marching through
the camp, in front of the Generals headquar-
ters, soldier discharged his piece. AS it was
contrary to orders, he was arrested and brought
up before the General
''Did you fire that shot?" asked General
Smith.

let him get up apd say SO. Let him say so at
once, and not go beating about the bush, and
dealing in contemplate inuendoes against a
Ccsnmittec constituted especially to defeat those
frauds, and when we expose them, turn around
and abuse us. Such was the rottenness and
corruption of this Sacchi contract, that, when
exposed, although there were five thousand SIX
hundred dollars due on it, for fear of further
exposures, these men never appeared to claim
the amount due to them on it.-Yet the Com
mttee have been assailed for exposing this fraud
which in one instance alone saved nearly six
thousand dollars to the country. The gen.
tleman from New York, who has had the face
to. assail the Committee for their effort to de-
tect and punish fraud, himself introduced a
bill, some time ago, proposing to strike out and
annu every contract entered into by the Gov
ern:nent with these jobbers and spectators; and
yet he has the face to charge upon the Commit
tee that they are trampling upon the private
rights of those contractors. With this fact be-
fore us, it must be conceded that the member
from New York is worthy to stand up as the
introducsEend advocate of bill to punish
frauds. since then change has come over
the spirit OF the members dream.-Instead of
being opposed to frequent and thieving contrac-
tors, he now stands up here as their champion
and defender. The attack upon the Committee
is based upon interested and unworthy motives,
and the member, as the attacking party, can
not hope to get through unscathcd. d.--No man
will permit to challenge my conduct on this
floor. In the affair of this Simon Stevens, we
have saved the country $4,000, claimed by
this Stevens without having rendered the Gov
ernment the slightest service for it. If. the Re-
publicans are willing to allow Stevens to pock-
ct this money let them. For one, my vote shall
not go in that direction, and others of the COM
mittee, presume, will agree with me, that this
is not the time to take the peoples money from
the Treasury, already sufficiently robbed, and
to put into the hands of corrupt spectators
and contractors the fabulous amount of money
so frequently claimed, but the frauds in con-
nection with which we have exposed, and in
doing so have drawn down upon us the wrath
of the member from New York. My colleague
from Indiana will disclose the particulars of the
extraordinary transaction with Stevens and
others, and in his hands now leave the mat

GEN. HoUSToNs ToA
BORE ~ lass

Among the guests at the st. Nicholas Hotel,
In New York, once of a time, was Gen. Sam.
Houston, of Texas. General IIoutson is, as all
his acquaintance well knows, fond of mirth and
tun, and, in short, is what Doesticks would call
+. B.-perfcct brick. The general however,
entcrtains an intense hatred for that species of
human beings, called 'bores." One of these
gentry, good-natured, but soft-headed chap, q
regular button-holder, cornered him one day at
his hotel. He had managed to be introduced to
him the day previous.
General said the bore, after he had bother
ed Mr. Houston out of all patience, 4 wish you

A SHORT CLERGYMAN--A few miles below
Poughkeepsie, N. T., there lives, and has lived
for several years past, worthy clergyman,
man, however, very short in stature. Upon o
certain Sunday about eight years ago, this cler-
gyman was invited by the pastor Of a churchin
that village to fill his pulpit for the day.. The
in'iralioH was acceplcu, ana ounday morning
saw Min the pulpit. Now, it happened
that the pulpit was a very high one, and accor-
dinghy nearly hid the poor little clergyman
from view However, the congregation, out of res
pect, managed to keep their countenances, and
with over pious faces, secmedreligiously anxious
for the text. They were not obliged to wait
long, for nose and two little eyes sudden
ly appeared over the top of the pulpit, and
squeaking, tremulous voice proclaimed in nasal
tones the text; 'Be of good cheer; it is !, be
not afraid"
A general roar of laughter followed the an
nouncemcnt-the clergyman became confused
and turned all sorts of colors. Many, in the
general uproar, left the church; and it was q
long time before the minister was enabled to
proceed with the sermon, so abruptly broken.
off.
Afternoon came, and the little man, standing
on footstool, had a fair view of the audience.
The text was announced in due form:
ga little while ye shall see me, and little
while and ye shall not see me-"
In the course of his sermon he repeated his
text with great earnestness, and stepping back,
lost his footing, and disappeared from his hear
ers The effect may be more readily imagined
than described.

SLEEPING IN CuURcH.--A certain military
chaplain did all he could to prevent his soldiers
from falling asleep at church. Even when read
ing the text he used to break off in.the middle
of an unfinished sentence, to- call attention to
to some red-coat enjoying his somnolent mods
and winks in q distant corner. On one occa-
sion he so mingled Scripture with the intima.
ton that the ludicrous association gave rise
to an irrcpressible litter through the congre-
CATION. And no wonder, for thus impress
sivey read the chaplain:-"And Abraham
said unto Lot" "a pause, during which the par
son pointed to a slumberer in a retired seat)
sergeant, that mans asleep!"

RECITATION,

NO.. Z.

The Didoctic or Lecture Method is the
third and last general method to be dcscrib-
cd. 1t differs widely from any heretofore
treated Of In all others, the papi talks,
and the teacher listens in this, the tcach-
er talks and the pupil listens. 1t assumes
two forms the conversational, as in Civ
ing s'objcct lessons" to children; and the
lccture proper, as in lectures to class in
medical or other college.
And just here LET us object to calling it
recitation at all. In doing SO we follow
table writers; 1--WE do not follow our own
convictions of strict accuracy. 1T isa ecayT
inapartiny iastrWetiom; and no more. Reel
ting is something universally understood to
be done by the pupiI In this the teach
or docs all;; the pupil does absolutely moth
ing-Jat listen. If this is recitation, it is
recitation III which the lsacher rccltes, in
stead of the class, but it is not, in any prop
cr sense of that term. If the word recita-
ton is to be made broad enough to include
lecturing, why not make it include sermon
izing, stump-speakng, and pleading before
Jury? But this is only single exam
pie of the crudity to be found in our very
best works on teaching; and it is perhaps
unfair to criticise the technical terms Of
profession, which if it be a profession at
all--is only in its infancy as such.
The Lecture method, in one or the 9TH
er of its forms, may be used with pupils of
every age and capacity. The chief use of
the conversational form is in giving Object
Lessons to young pupils. 1t does not
come within our province in these articles,
to describe Object Lessons, or the manner of
giving them; but VIC may remark, that their
Introduction, by skillful teacher, has gen
orally marked an era in the primary instruc-
tiop of every school in which they arc
successfully given. The child's first in
struction when he enters a PUBLIC school, has
been, for many years, and is yet, to great
extent, miscrably stupid and unsuitable,
NOT so much either from the incompe
tency of teachers as from the erroneous
views universally entertained by parents
and the public generally. Time makes er-
rors venerable; and now, the child has so
long begun by learning his letters from
primer or spelling-book, q charts perhaps,
that it seems almost like sacrilcgs to hint
that this may not, after all, be the best pos
siblc way; but that other plans may follow
more closely the true order of mental dc
vcopment as pointed out bysnaturo it
self. But the intrinsic absurdity of CIV
ing the child twenty-six arbitrary symbols,
as his first lessons, is, az last, becoming
manifest; and the idea that the alphabet is
tie starting point for all school instruction,
IS gradually making room for other IDEAS
more in harmony with the laws of intellect
ual growth and development. The child's
first knowledge is not of abstract and arbi-
trary characters, but of real tangible things.
lie has no more interest in an English let

are, to his mind, equally arbitrary and
meaningless-as indeed they are, in re-

thcr, with interest. But he will learn a.
