Whiskey and Newspapers,

A glass of whiskey is manufacture

corn, the value of which is too small
TO be estimated. A pint of this mix

good brand, is considered well worth
the money. 1t is drank in a minute
or two. 1t fires the brain, sharpens
the appetite, deranges and weakens

have full command Of his position.
He is in place Of authority. has
rights which law and society will pro-
tect, and consequent duties which
he cannot escape. He is in the place
Of the parent. His right to prompt
and cheerful obedience from every pu-
pill is clear. His duty is no less clear
to win love and respect.
Obedience, prompt and willing il
may be, but ut any rate obedience, is
the basis Of all order and discipline
in school. The ways of securing this
are as varied as are the skill. tact and
invention of teachers. Whether il
shall be obtained mainly by love or by
the lash, by appeals TO physical or
moral motives, to fear or emulation,
are questions about which there may
be different opinions. But the object
itself, obedience, should he gained, or
all is lost A failure in this particular
has sent ruin through thousands of
families and schools.

Minnesota Captives Rescued.

! The Minnesota captives found in
the possession of the Indians on the
upper Missouri river have been rescu-
cd and are now at Fort Randall. A
party Of friendly Indians were sent to
the Santee camp, where they found
White Lodge and Sleepy Eyes, with
seven white prisoners, five girls and
two women, one daughter Of Jacob
Price Of Illinois. They offered seven
horses for them. The Santees refused
to sell. The friendly whites told them
it was eithera fight or a trade-if they
were not delived, they would fight and
take them and their horses. This is
the story of the Indians. 1t is report.
ed that extensive preparations arc
making among the Sioux of the Mis-
souri, valley for another raid in the
Spring.
Maj. John Pattee, formerly of Bre-
mer county, Iowa, and now in COM
mand at Fort Randall, writes under
date of Dec. lst, that while on the
march from Fort Randall to Fort ri.
crre, to recover the captives, he met
company of white women and children
who had been ransomed through the
assistance of some friendly Indians.
Their names were Mrs. Julia Wright,
wife of John A. Wright Eliza Wright
her daughter Mrs. Laura Duley, wife
of VIM. j. Duley son of Mrs. Du-
ley Rosanna and Ellen, daughters of
Thomas Irelahd; and Tilla, daughter
of WIN. Everett. Maj. Pattee and his
men presented the sum of $3.50 to the
uufortunates, and sent them to Fort
Randall, whence they will be forward
ed to Cedar Falls, Iowa, to await in
telligencc from their friends. Some

ncsota, on the 22d of August, and car

them.

SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

We take the following extract from
an address delivered before the Iowa
State Teachers Association, at their
annual session Of 1862, by II. X. Ed.
son
There arc thousand influences
that go to make up the discipline Of
school, the mental and moral charac-
ter of the teacher, the tones Of his
voice, his daily look. words and ac-
tions, refining or brutalizing those un-
der his care. So the general effect
of the restraints, and studies, and ex-
ercises Of the school-room, and the in
Auences Of pupils on one another, not
produced nor wholly apparent in one
term or year. but by course of stud y
through series of years.
You can easily distinguish the po-
lite man from the boor, the man of
culture and refinement from the un-
cultivated, by the genial and attract
i've power of the one. and the chilling
and repelling influence that surrounds
the other, as an atmosphere, wherever
he goes-the result of the discipline
to which they haye respectively been
subjected. Thus do family govern
ment and influence reproduce and re-
present themselves in society, and
God hath set men in families for this
end, that they may be prepared for
the state.
But the parent in great part com.
mits his work to the teacher, and the
teacher assumes the responsibilities
of the parent. stands in his place, has
his rights aud privileges, as to disci.
pline and control. So he is regarded
in society and before the law which
protects him in the exercise Of his
rights. This point the teacher should
fully understand, and then he will

Oh, the snow, the beautiful snow !!
filling the sky and the earth below ;
over the housetop over the street,
over the heads of the people you meet
dancing and flirting, skimming
along-beautiful snow, it can do moth
ing wrong ; flying to kiss fair lady's
cheek, clinging to lips in a frolicsome
freak. Beautiful snow from heaven
above, pure as an angle, and tickle as
love-chasing, laughing, hurrying by,
it lights mp the face aud sparkles the
eye and even the dogs with bark
and bound, snap at the CRYSTALS that
eddy arou1l. The town is alive, and
the heart is in glow, to welcome the
coming of beautiful snow. How the
wild crowd goes swaying along, hail
ing each other with laughter and song
how the gay sledges like meteors flash
by, bright for the moment and then
lost to the eyc-ringing, swinging,
dashing they 60, over the crest of the
beautiful snow. Snow SO pure when
ii fell from the sky, to be trampled in

trampled and tracked by the thous-
ands of feet, till it blends with the
filth Of the horrible street. Beautiful
snow, treasure from heaven to NOR.

The leading and most popular Agricultural.
Literary and Family Newspaper in America.
PuBLIsuER's ANNOUNCEMENT
FINHE Rural New Yorker will enter upon its
Il Fourteenth Year and Volume in January,
1868. Our design Is To render the new vol
umc at least equal to either of its predecessors
in both contents and appearance. Ii we fail of
making it unequalled in all the essentials of a
first class Agricultural, Horticultural, Litera-
ry and Family Newspaper, it will not be for
the lack of proper intention, effort or expendi-
ture. Though We trust those familiar with
its objects, character and reputation, and the
manner in which it has been conducted from
the commencement do not require any special
assurances or pledges as to the future, We may
say that the spirit of the RURAL's motto,
:. Exceliior," will continue to be manifested
in the variety, usefulness and reliability of its
contents, as well as in the number and quality
of its illustrations. Indeed. we are resolved
that the Rural New Yorker shall continue to
be, what it has long been pronounced,
The Best Journal of its Glass
On the Continent.
And if its agents and subscribers continue
their aid and support-as they have most no.
bly, done since the breaking out of rebellion
threatening the life of the Nation--our craft
will go through the war with all sails set
Though its voyages may not be profitable to
the owner during such a crisis I" sink or swim,
survive or PERISH it will always be found on
the side Of right and against wrong always
loyal, patriotic and progressive; in favor of
the War for the Union and all [regardlcss of
their political predilections) who tight to bring
il to speedy and just termination.
Volume XIV, For 1868,
Will in all respects maintain the enviable rep
utation the Rural has acquired. 1t will be
published in superior style--with new type,
good white paper, and many fine engravings.
Its form will continue the same as now-doub-
le quarto--with an Index, Title Page, Sc, at
close of the year, rendering the Volume COM

The Old Man.

Who calls his father tho old man? 2"
Here he is. You would know him at
a glance. He is SO afraid that he will
be classed boy, that he must tell of
the old man, which signifies that he
has charge Of things now, and the
father is q secondary parsonage. If
there is anything We heartily dcspise
it is to hear parents disrespc ctfully
spoken Of :; we never heard sprout
Of boy speaking of his father in
such terms without strong desire to
laugh at the comical picture before
us. If "Great II is sitting down,
he throws his head back, and talks of
what he advised the old man to do
And then he tries SO hard to look self
possessed, as if he had always been a
man himself, that he overdoes the
matter entirely, aud We can but think
of baby rooster in it's first attempts
at a cock-a doodle-doing. If young
men, and would'be young men, knew
how perfectly disgusting, as well as
ridiculous and disrespectfully, they
appear in calling their father the old
man, they would soon discontinue the
shameful practice. And they would
find that when they respect others
| they themselveswould be respected.

1t has been but a short time since
general attention has been paid, even
by leading educators, to object teach
ing and at the present time il forms
a regular exercise in but few of our
country schools. Too much attention
is paid to book learning, while the
great volume of nature often lies un-
opened by this course of instruction,
pupils may be able to recite with flu.
ency the rules contained i'm the books,
and with parrot-like precision give
answer to questions found there, and
to the casual observer seem to be al.
most prodigies of learning but with
regard to everyday occurrences. and
the nature of objects around them,
they are as ignorant as babes.
By well conducted course Of in
struction on objects familiar to chill
dren, occupying, it may be, ten or
fifteen minutes each day, their reason
ing faculties will be developed they
will learn TO observe whatever they
see around them and inquire into its
nature, properties, uses, and every
thing connected with it, and thus in a
short time they will become thinking
beings, capable Of forming correct
judgments instead of being dependent
upon others for all their ideas, thoughts
aud words.
Instruction should be given in size,
weight, color, form, sound, &c, and
this instruction applied to objects
with which pupils come in contact.
The value of such course of instruc-
tion can hardly be over estimated.
BY it our youth, when grown up and
entered upon the world, would be fit
ted not only to view with intelligence
the greater glorics Of creation, but to
look with interest on the varied phe-
nomena Of social intercourse, the
things which lie before us in daily
life, to know which, as Milton has it,
is "the prime WISDOM" and be rrepar-
ed, as another equally great poet has
expressed it, to find
Tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing
We hope that teachers generally
will adopt this mothod of instruction,
which is admitted by our most distin-
guished educators to be one of the
most efficient means of awakening
thought, and imparting knowledge.

BY DAVID Paul BROWN.
The flag you boast is Natures gift,
Forever fresh and new,
You bear, displayed upon your face,
The Red, the White, and Blue.
Your fair complexion is the White,
Your eyes of azure hue;
The rose that mantles on your cheek
Completes White, Red, and Blue.
A patriot, thus by nature framed,
Scorns artificial lures,
And, nurtured by the smiles of Heaven,
Through time and change endures.
But should your bright complexion fade.
Your eyes forget to beam,
And all the beauties of the rose
Prove fleeting as dream
Still far beyond all outward show,
That captivates the eye,
Within your gentle bosom glow
Virtues that never die.
The patriot heart is ever there,
Change colors as they will,
In war or peace, hope or despair,
True TO your country still.
