My You've FRIEND You desire my
views as to the amount of attention a
teacher should give the moral culture of
his pupils.
The prime object of every scholars at
tendance at school, is the requirement of
practical knowledge upon those subjects
which are to be of the greatest assistance
or value to him in his future social and
business relations with his fellow men.
Now, as a thorough knowledge of the
practical sciences is simply 50 much addi-
ton to an individuals power for good or
evil, it is manifest that to educate the in
tellect of the masses alone, is to give an
impetus to evil as we'll as to good. Many
children never receive neral training at
home. Too often the parents example and
its consequent influence is on the side of
wrong Too often the church and Sab
bath school are neglected, and sometimes
even derided And, as the teacher has no
right to select whom he will instruct it
becomes matter, not of choice but of ne
cessity, that moral raining should enter
largely into his avoeation, - v~asf
He should commence every days session
with devotional exercises. I am aware
that in many localities this is to some ex-
tent offensive to both pupils and patrons
. and there are instances where possibly it
is better to omit them; but it is my be-
lief that such instances will be found TO
occur very rarely, where the teacher uses
due discretion in the method of present

The number of visitors during the two

We embrace this opportunity of thank
ing the pupils for the interest they have
manifested in the prosperity of the
school, and no less the patrons for their
kindly interest. It is hoped, however,
that during the remainder of the term, the
interest of the latter will be indicated in
the more tangible form of frequent per-
sonal inspection, than has been The case
heretofore, for the encouragemento of both
pupils and teacher. School visitation, as
an element conducive to the success and
highest welfare of school, Is too little
recognized among patrons generally.

EDUCATIONAL.
County Teachers Association.

Next week we shall publish report of
the proceedings of the Teachers Associa-
ton, now in session in this city. Thepro-
gramme presents an interesting list of top
les for discussion, while the subjects as
signed for papers and class exercises are
among the most practical that could have
been selected. The matter of school su-
pervision, which has Of late engaged the
minds of many, will be considered by the
teachers and friends of education, and we
cannot doubt that the present system
which has been the agency of 50 much ad
vancement in the efficiency of our common
schools, will receive their unanimous en-
dorsement. An attempt will very likely
be made, at the coming session of the Leg
islature, to abolish the Superintendency
system, and it is proper that its friends
should take measures to prevent, if posi-
bic, such action. A question SO vital to
the interests of education, ought to enlist
the attention of every lover of educational
progress, and now is lifetime for Teachers
Associations to express their sentiments
on the subject, for the information of leg
islators. If all the teachers organizations
in the State decide on these matters, it
cannot but influence legislative action.
We sincerely trust that such retrogression
as return to the old system of town Su-
perintendency, will not be witnessed in
our State, which has heretofore eyinced
such progressive spirit in matters rela-
tive to school interests.
We are gratifed that the subject of
school ventilation is to be made promi-
nent. It's relations to life and health are
more intimate thpn is generally recog-
nized, and it is high time that teachers
awoke to It's Importance Let it be thor
oughly ventilated:a
Irregularity of attendance, that most
pernicious of influences to the progress
and success of schools, is also topic for
discussion. It is hoped that some sug-
gestlons will be given whereby this evil
may be eradicated as far as possible.
Proper incentives is subject in which
all teachers are interested, and the wisdom
of discussing it is clearly evident The
proper means for arousing and continuing
an interest among pupils, is something
which often perplexes the minds of young
teachers, and upon which even the expert
enced have much to learn. We cannot at
the present time speak particularly in ref
erence to all the things contained in the
Order of Exercises, but suffice it to say
that if the session is not intensely interest
ing and profitable, the fault will not lie in
the programme. No teacher can afford
to absent himself from gatherings like
these, and School Boards should insist
upon their teachers attendance, allowing
him the time, which will be more than
made up in the fresh impulse he will re.
ceive and carry back to the schoolroom

The HARvEsT.-A New England writer
speaks as follows of the harvest prospects
in the Atlantic States and Europe:
Here in New England the grain harvest is
always unimportant, but the leading product,
hay, is abundant, while corn, potatoes and
garden vegetables will be above the average
So far as regards the West and Northwest
the prospects were never better. In the
number of acres cultivated there is q large
increase over any previous year. The grain
crops are likely to be harvested in good
condition, and in the aggregate will be the
largest ever gathered. The wheat yield is
throughout the Mississippi Valley spoken of
as having an unusual promise. The farmers
of Western New York and Pennsylvania
claim that they have begun to harvest the
largest and best wheat crop since 1876, while
all other products of the field look equally
favorable. think the farmers Of California
will hardly get over $50 per hundred for
their grain next Christmas if it goes below
that price, those who can wiz do well to
hold their grain for an improved market in
the fall Of 1869. 1t would be safe, and pro-
baby quite profitable Investment
As TO the fruit crop in New England, the
apple is more important Than all tn. others
combined. For many years the supply has
not been equal to the demand, and the pre-
sent season will not prove an exception.
The ''seth OF the fruit was superb, but the
core-worm, enrculio and the rose-bug have,
in many orchards, left hardly 1.-THE Of the
crop. More apples deeayed on the ground
last year in California and Oregon than viii
this year be raised in the six Eastern States.
In the aggregate the harvest of 1865 will
be unusually large. In England, from
whence there were u1fayorable accounts in
the spring, there will be at least an average
yield; and in France, and all over the con-
tinent, the harvest is reported by tourists to
suTpzss any within the past ten years

LAUNCH OF A CALIFORNIA STEAMER.-The
new steamship Anleried, built by Henry Steers
for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
was launched from his yard at Greenpoint
yesterday Those who have never been on
board of large steamships can have but
faint idea Of their magnitude. Like the
"big trees" of California, their size deceives
the beholder; and even when near by the
spectator does not fully appreciate their vast
proportions until he visits the interior. The
visitor, on ascending long, high staging on
the port side, found himself on vast inclin-
ed floor, from which he could look down on
the city. The wheel-house guard seemed
large enough to contain good-sized house.
These project over the sides of the ship.
Below the main deck is the first cabin, and
on the third deck is the second cabin. The
engine room is located in the hold. Tho
walls of the vessel are of solid timbers. In
the centre is a massive framework, which Is
to support the engines and walking beam.
The engine bed is composed Of square tim
bers laid horizontally, and forming a solid
support several feet in thickness. The walk
ng-beam frame extends from the bottom Of
the ship many feet above the main deck. It
Is model OF strength, and its braces are
eight or ten feet thick, composed Of many
pieces of timber, iron bolted. The nuts on
the ends of these bolts are about the size Of
quart cups. All the woodwork has been
Dlane0 ana pOI1ucQ uDtlt IL Is as bmOOLn 10
mirror. Much yet remains to be done.
After the engines are put in, the cabins are
to be constructed, and viii be furnished most
luxuriously.
The America is $50 feet In length, so feet
wide, 81 feet in depth, and about 5000 tons
burden. She is q side-wheeler, and is to
have first-ciass engines build at the Novelty
Iron Works. 1t Is nine months since the
keel Of the America was laid. The vessel is
sai6 IN he the larpeaf wooden ateamshfD in
the world. Long before the appointed hour
arrived large number Of people assembled
in the shipyard and its vicinity. Sloops,
steam-tugs, and small craft crowded around
the yard with flags flying from every project
ing spar. The upper deck of the ABlericG
was packed with ladies and gentlemen. at
IL o'clock the gangway was lowered from
the vessel, and the policemen rushed hither
and thither ordering the cwowd 10 fall
back At 12:05 a shout of exnltation
went up, the ship moved, the ways smoked,
and the steam tugs blew their whistles.
The multitude held their breath, the cannon
belched forth a salvo, and the huge mass,
six stories high and nearly 400 feet long,
giided rapidly into the river. As the ship
touched the water, an American flag, az II
By magic, was flung to the breeze, and In an
instant almost she was half across the river,
when she was taken in charge by the tugs
in waiting. The launch was most success
full, and never was a shipbuilder prouder than
the architect Of the Ameriea, Henry 5teers.

ANoruER lABoR SAVING MAcHINE-.

ANOTHER LABOR SAVING MACHINE.-A
public trial has made in the presence Of
several well know railroad men, contractors
and others, of Sleeper's Excavator, which
was not only satisfactory but convincing to
the mind of every one present of its entire
success. The ground selected was near the
San Jose Railroad, on Twenty-first street
no better ground could have been selected
for thorough test, as it partook of "hard
par" which required strong team to run
furrow through it. This machine, or wagon,
is quite simple in its construction, so much
so that one man and two horses are all the
motive power necessary TO do the work of
fifteen men. The operations to be perform
ed by the driver consist simply in placing
his foot on treadle, and by slight pres
sure, when he comes to the loading place,
drops scoop shaped like the bowl of a
spoon, which enters the ground to any depth
he desires, and forward movement of the
wagon causes the earth to slide over the
scoop on to an endless belt, or elevator, into
the body of the wagon. When it is full he
gives lever pull, which raises the scoop,
and the load is driven to the dumping ground,
and without stopping gives another lever a
pull and the load drops through the bottom,
which closes instantly, and is ready for
another load Its working was tested by
accurately timing how long ii took to load
and discharge, and it was found that it took
Just ten SECONDS 10 load one cubic YARD OF
earth, the team moving no faster than they
would if plOughing in a field II was tested
in ground that had been ploughed, but did
not work as well as on the hard ground; in
fact, it does its own ploughing, serapiDg,
loading and dumping, and does it sstis-
factOriiy. It gathers full load in going
forty or sixty feet, and takes clean furrow
twelve inches wide, and, as a street con-
factor remarked, leaves a smooth grade with
no loose dirt behind. We learn that hun
dreds of these machines are now in use at
the East, and that they will be a success here
does not admit of a doubt. Captain A NJ.
Burns owns the patent for this coast, and
has three of the machines here a we'll
known contractor offered to take them all,
but Capt. Burns desires TO exhibit what they
are capable of doing before disposiBg Of
those on hand yet he can supply all orders
on short notice. One of them will be placed

TIE True LIFE-Final success, the joy Of
life's harvest, is the goal of human hopes.
No wise or thoughtful man viii live merely
for day. The pilgrim who seeks a home
is not content TO hnger and loiter for the
mere flowers beside the way. The sower
looks forward to fields white and ready for
the sickle The triumph or pleasure of to-
day Is trznsitory. We want 8 hope that
does not sink with the setting sun
The true success in life is that which does
not fail in the evening of our days, or leave
them to barrenness- We want that shout Of
"harvest home" that will not die into silence
with tho falling breath, but make the passage
OF the grave q whispering gallery, where
something that viii reach beyond time, be-
yond the things Of the present, something
that viii take hold on eterDity.-F1God-

QUIET VIRTUEs.-It is the bubbling spring
which flows gently, the little rivulet which
runs along day and night by the farmhouse,
that is useful, rather than the swollen or
warning cataract Niagara excites our won
greatness Of God there, as He "pOurs it from
the hollow of his hand" But one Niagara
is enough for the continent Of the world !;
while the same world requires thousands
oEsilTer fountains and genily-fowing rivu-
lets, that water every farm and meadow,
and every garden, and that shall flow on
every day and night, with their gentle quiet
beauty So with theacts Of our lives. 1t is
not by great deeds, like those ofthe martyrs,
that good is to be done it is by the daily
quiet virtues of life-the Christian temper,
the good qualities Of relatives and friends
and all, that good is to be done.
