The Dying tear.

From he old "29s!1. dim aad lonely
Comes Il moan:
There The winds are signing only
summers gone.
Al the bright and sunny hours.
Ana tie. green and leafy bowers.
With the summers latest flowers,
Are faded now:
And the brow
OF The waning year
Has been twincd with dying 'c1"es:
And the gathering of the sEeaves
Tells Us .Autumns here.
Eov the winds go loudly moaning
Through the wales;
And the forest trees are grooming
Iourniul tales
OF DECAYS that swiftly gather.
OF the coming "intry weather.
OF the snow. that Ike feather
Soon will fall:
And the call
OF death Is signing
0 ln p' the r,pr.nfi n :' sieams
Are sadly dying.
.Tis The waning, waning twilight
OF the gear
Thu, iinyers now. ali strangely bright.
Round Us here:
And soon the year will pass away
Like the light OF an autumn day.
Go down old Winters dim highway,
To It's tomb /;
And :i!a gloom
OF the silent Land
VIII re-, on he bright years fiowr
Aul The winds Of time Will moan
DER the dr"aInless land.

think it should be the first object of
every teacher to gain command over self.
For certainly, the teacher, like every 9TH
er person having a command, should, be
able to control himself or herself The
commander Of an. army, or the captain of
a ship, only begins to succeed, when once
he is able to stard before his subjects un-
der perfect self-control, So, likewise, the
teacher; let him stand before his pupils
agitated by some passion, and the right
arm of his authority is at once deprived
of its power. More especially if the pu-
pills themselves are excited, does it become
the teacher by his own calmness to pacify
the gathering storm Of passion. Through
want Of experience and self-discipline,
the pupils frequently imagine, that they
are receiving wrongs at the hands Of their
fellow students, or even their teachers i;
perhaps they are-and not unfrequently
there is quite a storm. But in the midst
of this excitement, let their teacher enter
If he is a man of selfpossession and cool
ness, he calms the rising storm with scarce
ly the utterance of aword. SUcha tcach-
e, only can maintain the control of the
yastmajorityof pupils in the districtschool
room.
But after all, it is not only occasions like
this, where unusual excitement prevails,
that the teacher most stands in need of
this power of selfcommand. Yet, if he
be neryed for crisis, he will always find
himself prepared to meet the trial with
calmness and entire selfpossession. 1t
is in the ordinary occurrences Of every
day school-life, that he should most guard
himself against loss of command. The
rocitations will not always be correct, nei-
thcr will the pupils always be circumspcct; !;
and many things will transpire TO ruffle
the temper. Butthe tcachershould guard
himself against yielding to the bad inhu-
ence of these minor trials, and endeavor
to attain a patient, benevolent and cheer
full disposition under every circumstance,

STAMPEDE FROM ATLANTA.-An old
gentleman just from Atlanta, too old for
the rebels to conscript, states that the
stampede from that place exceeds any
thing he ever witnessed Atlanta was a
favorite resort for the exiled aristocracy
of Tennessee and Kentucky; many had
built fine mansions there, assured that the
Yankees would never be able to modest
them; and all these are getting their val
uables and their valuable persons out of
danger With all the alacrity possible
There are, however, many old citizens de-
termined to remain, and many will accept
the amnesty oath.

NASHVILLE, July 3(


New YORK, July % The Pal
met to Herald of the 21st states
that Admiral Dahlgren had left for
Charleston Harbor. Fort Sumter is
undergoing another destructive bonn
bardment from our batteries and
fleet. The firing was very slow but
accurate, and serious. damage result
ed to some ofthe strongest portions of
the fort. The fire on Charleston is
still kept up.
The work of erecting residences
for rebel prisoners progresses, though
the rebels annoy the workmen to the
extent of their ability by shelling the
buildings.

The rams were removed down to the

Johnson sent a brigade of Georgia

n63- The supply af water to the
army at Petersburg appears to be
ample, though the rebel papers are
congratulating themseles on the sus-
posed suffering of our troops from
the late drought. The Yirginians
did not appcarto know that the boys
are not afraid of labor when it con-
conducts 70 their comfort and conve-
nience, and instead of depending up
on the river they, went to work
and dug wells, and no country vii
lage shows more wells with buckets
slung on poles than the Union camp,
Welding cool, clear and refreshing
water, some of the wells being forty
feet, deep. The rebels, therefore
can take care of twenty-fve.per cent.
of the losses they estimate in the
Union army, from the privations
they say it undergoes, the absence
of their water being one of the worst
they mention.

abstract or, if taken by itself whether it
would be safe guide in pronouncing
Judgment upon character; but he will ex-
anime every statement associated with
that one which seems to be most promi-
nent, and after thus barefully scanning it,
he will finally study the impression it
might make if placed before the world
Another important element in truthful
ness is the fulfilling of promise to the let
ter. We should never make promise
when there is any natural obstacle in the
way of its fulfllment. Before saying
what we will do in the future, we should
examine well the obligations we are un-
der, and then take upon us no obligation
that would conflict with any previous one
or that would hinder the ful6llment of
either The person whose truthfulness
is fully developed will fulfill every engage
