A few days since the workmen

when he had his meat on, he could not

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Right heartily do we wish the readers
and patrons Of the JOURNAL Merry
Christmas" AS for the unfortunate bal
ance of mankind on whom its light shin
eth not, we wish them merry Christ
mas out of pure sympathy for their
forIorn and destitute condition.
The happy family gathered around the
table, which groans under the weight Of
the Christmas dinner have been pictured
in glowing colors by pen and pencil from
time immemorial. 1t is ever picture OF
calm content and quiet JOY at the head
of the table, while merriment and mirth
reign supreme at the foot. 1t is the
presence of loved ones, and the presents
of those we love that, makes Christmas
merry with oil and young. The stock
ings filed with goodies, have filed the
little hearts of the children brimful with
gladness, and written happiness on every
feature.
Always remember the little ones
Christmas is their day. Never can they be
made happier at more trifing expense.
The veil of mystery that is thrown around
the visit of Santa Claus excites their
childish fances and the gifts they receive
are magnified thousand fold. They
have listened to the stories of his love
for little children, and the fine presents
he always brings them ''on the nigh; be.
fore Christmas Their busy rinds
have already fancied what will most de-
light them and they believe that in the
distribution of his prcc"S!!nns load they
will not be forgotten. But should Kris
kringle in his haste pass them by, they
NAV rest assured that St. Nicholas will
remember them on New Years day.
Again, to old and young, rich and poor
we wish merry Christmas. Fathers
and mothers, sisters and brothers, sweet
hearts and lovers, we wish you merry
Christmas. To all good natured old
maids, and jolly old bachelors We say
marry Christmas.

A Word for School Teachers.

Teachers must never cease studying
No one is prepared to enter his school
room for good days work without pre-
vious study.
Unless the teacher can recite the les
sons of the day, bis place is behind the
desk, under the instruction of some com
petent teacher.
Except in Reading and Spelling and
perhaps Mental Arithmetic, no book
should be used 10y the teacher in recita-
ton. To do this will require hard study
and a full plan for each day.
Besides the regular studies of the
school much oral instruction is to be Civ
en-, which is impossible without full pre-
paration. No day should pass without
some general exercise, illustrating natural
science or some truths of philosophy
The heavens, the earth and the sea are
full of topics for thought and discussion,
and that teacher will succeed best and
find least occasion for punishment whose
head, and heart, and hands are most full
of work.
A large share Of idleness, inattention.
play and consequent punishment is ow
ing to the fact that there is no work on
hand, no intense pressure of business.
Children were never made to sit still
and DO nothing. They ask for some
thing to do, and if it is furnished by the
teacher, well; if not, they will furnish
work for themselves, and perchance, for
the teacher too Try it for one day -
Come into your school room with six
hours work which must be done; work
requiring all hands, and allowing no
time to be lost, and my word for it, you
will rest your weary head upon your pill
low at night with sense of satisfaction,
and your pupils will feel that they are
under the hand of master-one who
has business on hand and intends to have
it done. r. l.. REED.

First, TO perfect the organization Of the
several societies and make arrangements
for their future perpetuity. Second, TO
enjoy the privilege of general meeting
and reunion of the men who had fought

The ferry commenced running again
last week, the few days warm weather
having melted the ice so that passage
was easily broken. On Saturday NOR
ming last q team loaded with -four, be
longing to Mason STONE & Co., was
ferried across, but being unable to get
nearer than three or four rods of the
landing, the team WAS driven off the boat
upon the ice. The treacherous surface
broke under the heavy weight and the
team and load found terra trina at the
bottom of the river. AS the water was
only three or four feet deep, the team
was got ashore with little difficulty and
the flour saved, slightly damaged.
Mr.. CokDEs, Of this city, while
crossing the lake last week, found an air
hole with good deal of water in it.
Beyond the wetting of consignment of
$50 worth of Christmas goods, from the
firm of Santa Claus & Co., to P. BoTT,
of this place, the result was not serious.
