Gen, Grant as q Farmar.

The editor of the Milwaukee Wisconsin
writes to that paper from St. Louis:
i have been profcundy interested in
studying the history OF Gen Grant while
resident Of this city and county Six years
ago Gen. Grant occupied a little farm to
the southwest of St. Louis whence he was
In the habit Of cutting the wood and draw
ing it to Carondelet and selling it in the
market there Many of his wood purchas-
ers now calling to mind that they had
cord of wood delivered in person by Gen
Grant. When he came into the wood mar
ket; he was usually dressed in an old felt hat,
with blouse coat, and his pants tucked in
the tops of his boots In truth. he bore
the appearance of study and honest wood
man. This was his winter work. In the
summer he turned collector of debts-but
for this he was not qualified, He had a no
bic and truthful soul--so when he was told
that the debtor nad no money, he believed
him, and would not trouble the debtor again.
One of the leading merchants of St Louis
mentioned the circumstance to me From
all can learn of his history here he was an
honest, truthful, indefatigable- always at
work at something, but did not possess the
knack Of making money. He was honorable,
for he always repaid borrowed money His
habits of life were hardy, Inexpensive and
simple About his being an inebriate, I
find nothing toconfirm it. On q cold day,
when he brought q load of wood to the Car
andolet market he would take omething to
keep himself warm Thus, so fer as | can
trace, is the foundation of many reports of
his inebriety

SINCERITY AND EARNESTNESS IN
TEACHING,

No one can doubt for a moment, that earnest
ness and sincerity, should always be tho true
characteristics of every teacher, who hopes to
attain anything like professional eminence in the
course of life he has marked out for himself
Without their aid the brightest talents, the most
towering intellect, can avail but little, can &C.
compish nothing worthy of note, can produce
no better fruit than that which may he said to
resemble the far.famed apple: SO beautiful TO
behold, yet so bittor and useless. With earnest
ness and sincerity as our guide, what an meal
cnlable amount Of good may we not do with
even o limited share of education. And to this
class of teachers will address myself first
When l say that persons of inferior education,
who act under the influence Of a sincere heart,
and an upright intention, can accomplish more
than the professor, or man of distinguished abi-
tiles, can do independent of them; do not wish
to be understood as an advocate for an inferior
order of intellect in the teachers who are to in
struct the youths of our country, and whose
moral example should ever be q shining and
burning light before the eyes of the young and
inexperienced; but merely desire to synpathize
and encourage that portion of our teachers to
whom nature, perhaps, has denied the rich and
varied gifts which she sometimes loves to lavish
on less worthy objects; or who, from want Of
proper opportunities, have been prevented from
improving and developing, to their fullest cx-
tent, the talents already bestowed. Lei such
teachers make self-improvcment their daily ex-
ercise. Lot them remember, that the kindly,
earnest spirit in which the instruction is given,
has as much to do with the child's progress in
learning, or even more than The most logical or
scholarly explanation coull do If given in q cold
and Indifferent manner. To the more gifted Of
our teachers would simply say, pride your
selves not on your superior in,cllecis, depend
not too much on your own abilities or philosoph-
ical explanations to draw forth the ideas OF the
young. But ever bear in mind that kind look,
word of earnest entreaty, or smile of appro-
val, will generally do more towards accomplish
ing your views in regard to the child's education
than any other means yet devised. II it il nat
ural that VIC should love those who love US, is
it not equally natural that children should feel
interested in those who manifest an earnes.ness
and an interest in them7 And ondeavor to re-
pay such anxiety by not only trying TO be stu.
dious but also to be docle. In many of tho
counties of our State, where the system of free
education is in fiourishing condition, the teach-
ers are well compensated, or comparatively 80,
and their zeal, or motive power. as some would
call It, might, by tho cynical, DO attributed to
tho largo shara Of greenhacks distributed in freh
counties by III, Lind directors, whom, | havs
10 douts, ara firm believers ia the time -honored
maxim, ",iys, and let live"
