Wind Up!T Wind Upl

To keep clock or watch in motion,
you must occasionally wing aalt up. When
it is run down, additional Weights will
have no effect, but wind it up and the
more power YOU apply the faster As7&ill
go. Well" says so =, Il know thai
what is the use Of te..lng it," Keep cool,
my friend. I only want to tell you why
that little urchin does not learn faster.
You have certainly labored hard to make
him learn, and very likely you are giving
up that he is a Ounce, and always will be
one
Keep courage he is smart looking
little fellow. lis appearance indicates
anything but Ounce. The trouble Is,
he r. run down, and all the motive pow
er you can apply will not move MIN un.
til he is wound up. Perhaps you have
tried some lubricating articles like the
oil OF hickory, but it is of no use, my.
frieuds-Ae is not rusty; Le needs wind
ing up.
4 bright little boy Of our acquaintance,
when asked why he did not learn as fast
as his schoolnates did, promptly answer,
ed, g would, it I only could get start
ell" Yes, that is the trouble with
great many scholars-indeed it is the
trouble with aiiEost all duh Scholars
! They cant get started any mere than
clock can get started when it has run
doEn.
a large share Of the worl, which our
teuchers do at the present day is entirely
. lost, because they do not understand the
, winding up process. The first work Of
every to1cher should be to wind up his
pupils.
There are several modes efwinding up.
One Of the most efectual is encourage
mcnt. We most distinctly remember
the first teacher that made Us feel by his
actions as we'll Us his words that we were
capable Of improvement,
II costs no more to make a child fe'l
that he can learn than to feel that he can
not. When a child docs worthy deed
it costs no more to say " that is a fine tel-
low; YOU have done we'll" than when he
makes blunder to say, YOU are fool" !"
The thought that person is in danger OF
being fool is powerful motive to ac-
ton, but even this is Intellectual when
one is run down.
The perceptive teacher sees redeeming
qualities in the worst Of children, and, if
he be wise, he can take advantage Of
these qualities. ItAe sees n spark Of ma
tive goodness it is just as easy to fan it
into fame as to trample it out by colo,
hearttess words or actions. If these val
uable Sparks. which we occasionally see,
be cherished, they will kindle into noble
deeds. Not few of our smartest men
| owe their greatness to an encouraging
word spokan by some friends.
Teachers, ify you have any dull scholars
the first smart thing they do. give them
an encouraging word or smile OF ap-
probrtion, and if you do not see a new
IRE kindle in their eyes, we are greatly
mistaken. W. a "

DEAR EUfToR-~I send you my" saluta-
tory" with fear and trembling 1t is a
rare thing, in the history Of Western
Iowa, fur a woman to become regular
contributor to paper, and the glow OF
my literary genius has long been dark
ened, by seeing, in the distant horizon,
that ominous word -rysctsd. But, with
30 generous and chivalrous a person on
the tripod of the Eonpartl, | expect
every article to be accepted, and herald
ed. perhaps in the olden strain, '' Doth
not wisdom cry and understanding put
forth her voice? -.
. The mania for writing is certainly on
the increase. Writers are everywhere,
but they are not 50 numerous but four
class.s will contain all Of them:
First, we have those that write to
anuse second, that write to instruct
the third, for money; fourth, for fame.
And | am not sure but there is a class
composed Of those. that combine the
first and second. This classification is
original, and. therefore, not infallible.
/ / aa1 .at a loss to know whore to place
myself.
Phrenologi.t IS would tell me there was
not enough u1lrthfulness in my develop
rnent to SUCCEED in the FIRST department
Should claim the second, would ex-
pect to hear on every hand the sage in
Junction, physician, heal thyself.
Therefore cannot come under either oi
these classes, or hope to combine them
Not the third, surely; that is too n1erce,
nary. So am compelled to acknowledge
the fourth. e.. -,
Do not condemn me! A woman /:
seldom ambitious, except in one dlrec
ton. Be not alarmed, sis ters, / viii no
diyulge what is entire nous--proof that
woman can keep i secret therefore th'
falling, can be overlooked in me. Indeed
Ibail this ambition of mine as favora
ble omen-a proof of the progress OF tn
pecies, and of ''the wondrous march o
suind." After such candid contessiel
of nv nosives--and candor is q merit
expect to be dealt with very gently.
viii generally write on themes within
the scope of human comprehension; bu
should wander off into the dreamy
mases Of sentiment, attribute it 70 - :" at
fectian of the heart" and not to any
serious mental aberatioE. But to leave
this frivolous styIe--I acknowledge my
self deeply gratifed to the good editor ioi
