Mapla Sugar.


Farmers, housewives, sweet girll,

sugar allowance for the coming year
if you do not bestir yourselves. and
seek to obtain it from the sugar ma

has PLANTED around your homes. You
must not expect sugar from the rebels
this year. They have enough to do to-

brave hearts who have gone to de.

their comfort while absent; and when
they return what will be more well
come to them, on the table of a friend,
than bowl Of clean, well refined su-
gar, made by the hands Of a thought
ful friend, which was never polluted
by the hand Of tvaitor2
From motives like these, with patri~
otic hearts, VIC must not be idle. We
must make sugar now, as we make
hay wlrile the sun shines" Let us in
crease the quantity and quality the
present season, and see to it that we
take step towards INDEPENDENCE in
the article of sugar. We know that in
all the prairie districts of the West
the people are growing sorghum and
making therefrom sirup and sugar
But we must not rely wholly upon
that source for supply. We should
also have all the maple sugar we can
possibly make. Get ont all the buck

MR.. BANCROFT's GRAFTON.

Mr.. Bancroft's Grafton in New York
on the 22d ult., was one Of the most
earnest and vigorous productions of
his powerful mind, large in learning,
independent in thought, compact and
trenchant in style. The most striking
passages are the judgments passed
on Chief Justice Taney and jefferson
Davis. In these, Mr.. Bancroft antici-
pates what he considers will be the
verdict of history. In speaking of
that portion Of the Dred Scott decis-
ion, in which the Chief Justice takes
the ground that the fathers Of the
country held that the negro chad no
rights which the white man was bound
to respect" Mr.. Bancroft assails it
as written "in open scorn of the facts
of history" and shows that its "pro-
found immortality" has not yet been
laid bare. We cannot refrain from
quoting Mr.. Bancroft's criticism
But at last 1--WE have fallen on evil
days" "The propitious smiles Of
Heaven "--such are the words of
Westinghouse can never be expected
on nation that disregards the cter-
nal rules Of order and right" During
eleven years of perverse government
those rules were disregarded, and il
came to pass that men who should
firmly avow the sentiments Of Wash
iBgton and Jefferson aud Franklin and
Chancellor Livingston were distran

with an inch or two Of
vacancy between the chimney and

aperturcs for the ingress or egress Of

rarely open window, unless compel

To sleep in a tight six-by.ten bedroom
with no aperture admitting air, is to
court the ravages of pestilence, and
invoke the speedy advent of death.

School Discipline.

We believe that far more teachers
fail of success, from lack Of proper
discipline, than from any other one
cause which we could mention. True,
there are teachers who are deficient
in scholastic requirements, aud there
are some who do not possess that high
moral character which should always
characterize those whose duty it is to
control and instruct the young, but
with the mass of teachers, there is no
more prolific cause Of failure than q
neglect to enforce good order in the
school-room. Without this essential
requisite. the teacher will fail of ac-
complishing tho object for which he
labors. As we'll might a General cx-
pect to succeed in battle, with an un-
disciplined army, as for teacher to
hope for success, with school in o
like condition.
AS means Of securing order in
school, a teacher must himself possess
habits of order he should have reg
ular time for each recitation, and de-
vote to each its proper amount oftime,
in order that all may receive that at
tention which they require. Teachers
who have no programme by which to
regulate their exercises, often lay
themselves liable to charges Of par.
tiality, when perhaps they are inno-
cent and not only is the teacher in.

on any one item and we will simply
call the attention of teachers to some
Of the most important points which
present themselves to our mind.
You should never manifest any i'll
will toward any Of your scholars, but
should treat all with courtesy and po.
litcness. Without this you cannot ex-
pect respect from them. No matter
how ill-behaved a pupil may be, he is
still entitled to courteous treatment.
Continual fretting and scolding will
never make an orderly school T; main
tain at all times your self.possession,
and do not allow your temper to gain
the advantage over your jugdment.

Yorktown

Yorktown, port Of entry, capital OF
| York county, Virginia, is situated on the
right bank of York river, eleven miles
| from its mouth, and seventy miles east
| by southeast of Richmond. It was set
tied in 1705, and was once fourishing.-
The shipping of the district June 80, lS-
81, amounted to an aggregate of SOL
tons enrolled and licensed, and all en-
ployed in the coast trade. Before the
commencement Of the rebellion, York
! town was quiet, unobtrusive little vii
lage Of between twenty and thirty how
ses, half of them uninhabited, with the
ruins Of tenements destroyed during Corn
wallis's siege visible everywhere. The
American breastworks were nearly oblit-
Grated, while the more permanent en-
trenchmcnts of the British were still COM
paratively perfect. The outworks, which
the latter were compelled to evacuate on
the night of the 29th Of September, 1871,
lie on the western outskirts of the town,
and are probably still in good preserva-
ton. They were strong positions, and
their abandonment must have left the por-
tion Of the town in which they were stu
ated, in 4 very exposed condition, and the
American officers, when they took pos
session of them, expressed much surprise
at their being voluntarily given up. The
most eastern Of the red0ubts stormed by
the allied forces on the 10Th Of October,
1871, being near the river, has nearly
been washed away; that taken by the
French portion of the army may still be
traced. The capture Of these redoubts
rendered the destruction or surrender of
the British forces inevitable, and on the
18th Cornwallis solicited truce and
agreed to capitulate. The main works,
situated on the eastern edge Of the town,
were in excellent keeping in 1854, and
must have been formidable when brist-
ling with cannon and occupied by soldiers.
The cmbankment was too broad to be per-
forated by canuon-shot, and too steep to
be easily scaled by an assailant. The
field where the formalities of the surren-
der occurred, is respectable inclosure Of
some hundred acres, and it was about the
same in 1871. 1t joins the town on the
south. The very spot where Gen. o Har-
ra is said to have delivered up his sword
and apologized for the absence of Gen.
CORVALLIS, is now marked by two poplar
trees, which were planted in commemora-
ton Of the event. The field itself is near
" plain, and is admirably adapted to
the purposes of drill and parade. From
the top of the hill on which the town is
situated, there is an excellent view exten-
ding into the Chesapeake Bay, and reach
ing almost to the Virginia capes- York
town formerly enjoyed quite a valuable
West Indian trade. The great natural
capabilities of the place as basis for mil
itary operations early attracted the attcn-
ton of Jefferson Davis, and there can be
no doubt that the entrenchnents con-
structed by the British in 178!, have
been materially strengthened since the
rebellion. When Yorktown falls the fate
of the peninsula is sealed, and the route
to Riciunond opened.
