into garden-beds, or fower-pots, or q
grass lawn with walks and pleasant
hooks, there you may expect to find
an interested community Of children,
gratified parents and contented teach
err. Pay alone, does not satisfy q
teacher. His notions of wealth take
to other channels and center in bright
er views nearer to heaven.
Even the ambulatiDg pedagoguc
may leave his mark in every country
neighborhood where he sojourns a
winter or q summer. Yon graceful
elm by farmer Thrifty's door was
planted by his own hand and the
oaks and chestnuts and evergreens
near by were later offerings by him
in the broad temple of rural grace.
There is wealth in trees, and monu-
ments in their waving boughs, and
voices in their trembling, wind.swcpt
leaves, which flourish aud endure
long after the hands that planted
them have grown powerless aud chill.
He that would live in the blest men,
DRY of children and stay with them in
mind, as friend, till age iostles
strength away for inirmity, will plant
trees around his school-house and in
vite song-birds to nestle among their
branches. There is wealth in the un-
mearsured strength Of the forest mon
arch, which his rugged limbs have
gathered in from thousand blasts ;
and this the teacher will make his
own. r,sa,i. ia s..t.. tE...
Children will love the tree teacher
planted, and turn 10 it instinctivcly,
and call it after his name. They will
point you to the very spot in the grove
where they dug it, and show you how,
aud planted il carefully, and guarded
it with stakes, and watched it every
noon-time and recess lest rough Har-
ry or burly Jim should uproot it in
their uncouth ways Of displaying
their strength. When their parents
come to visit the school they will show
them the tree of their favorite teacher.

The Teachers Vocation.
~ Miss ELlxADsTH J. COLE.

How noble, and yet how response
bic, is the avocation of the school
teacher (! To him il entrusted the
training of immortal minds, and how
shall he answer for the consequences
if his influence is not pure and gentle,
preparing the human mind for high
and noble duties ? As the minds of
children arc susceptible to outward
impressions, they may be moulded in
to the fairest proportions but this
depends much on those with whom
they come in contact. There are few
who duly appreciate the services of a
good and faithful teacher. Most pa
rents are doubtless interested in the
cultivation Of the minds of their chill
dren, and for this purpose they place
them under the care of an instructor.
Each day finds them in their place,
and they progress in the road to
knowledge, or lag in the race in pro-
portion as their minds are vigorous
and persevering, and commensurate
with the degree of encouragement
they receive at home.
An able instructor may with equal
diligence and kindness seek to SOW
the seed Of instruction 10 the mind
