New York: HARPER BROTHERS. Price
81 90.
The preface sets forth the scope Of
this volume to be A truthful eluoi-
dation of the attractions of the eoun-
try, and careful consideration of the
question Of profit and loss as involved
in amateur farming, with much Yalu-
able advice and instruction to those
about purchasing large or small places
in the rural districts To all who
have been charmed with that inter-
esting little volume entitled Ten
Acres Enough" this should, by all
means, be made a companion volume,
as an antidote to the enthusiasm it
may have created for investment in
rural possessions and occupations.
The other side of the picture, as pre-
sented in the authors joyial style,
will be found quite diverting and
attractive. 1t is the best book we
have seen of the season, for summer
vacation reading.

fling score of years gone by-Till nave
some appreciation of the pathos that
dwelIs in these grave eyes that look SO
steadfastly back upon the things they
knew before history was born-before
tradition had being-things that were,
and forms that moved, in vague area
which even poetry and romance scarce
knew of-and passed one by one away
and left the stony dreamer solitary in
the midst Of a strange new age, and
uneomprehended scenes.
The sphynx is grand in its loneli-
ness; it is imposing in its magnitude;
it is impressive in the mystery that
hangs over its story. And there IS
that in the oyershadowing majesty of
this eternal figure Of stone, with it's
accusing memory Of the deeds of all
ages, which reveals to one something
of what lie shall feel when he shall
stand at last in the awful presence of
God.

A Remarkable sehool-NIstresa,

DIR. N. i. True, school superinten-
dent of Oxford county, Maine, has
made a special report concerning a
school mistress in that State and her
work. Her name Is Vesta Howard,
and she teaches Ia the town Of Bethel.
She is ffty-fye years old, and has
taught seventy terms of public and
private school. Yet, says Dr. True,
she is far In advance of most young
teachers, instead of being antiquated.
The following are extracts from the
account of the school:
"She commenced her afternoon
session by saying that she did not
think 1t, best to set the children i'm
mediately to work upon their studies,
because they had been at their play
and were not in the best condition for
close application. She therefore took
a second Progressive Reader, and read
a story as badly as she could. and let
them correct her faults. She then
read it correctly, and as one would
talk, and all eyes were fixed on her.
She then called a register of scholars
| by mum bers, who answered by their
names and ages. Among them was
a Winfield Scott, General Fremont
and other PROMINENT names; and as
| they were announced she had a word
to say about their history, without
scarcely stopping her register She
then made them ell take their books
out Of their seats together, wit hout
noise. No states were TO hit the
desks, or books to be shufied. She
selects a captain for each Of the small
4 or classes, who steps out and calls the
class by numbers. Books are all held
alike. This makes them executive
scholars.
I'm reading, small children repeat
the same word till they can command
it In the sentence, and then they read
it in concert. In spelling they all
| fold their arms, with the book under
the left arm. Sometimes she spells
the words and they pronounce them.
This was a fine exercise. She made
them pronounce correctly COW, how.
now, bow, row. They made a grace
| full bow in leaving for their seats.
Each class has q definite time for
studying a lesson, and the teacher
calls their attention to it at the mo-
ment. l
They came out to read with folded
arms, read with strong emphasis, and
naturally. She makes them look at
her lips, and she pronounces words
round and full and makes them do
the same afer her. While hearing a
class reading, if a class is studying
geography, she will suddenly call
their attention to some point In the
lesson, and then 60 right on with the
reading. She will call upon scholar
by surprise to rise and tell something
about the lesson she is studying.
This was done with great promptness.
, And kept them on the alert.
she has bouquets all around the
room, and maps and pictures on the
walls, to make the room look pleas
ant. Her order is perfect. Not a
book or a pencile is heard promi-
nently.
"She questions them on what they
| have read. In spelling, they give ia
miliar definitions in their own Lam
guage, and are required to pronounce
each letter fully and forcibly,"

Rallroaa Route % the Ease.

The Cincinnati Times publishes the
following readable account Of "a re-
turn trip from New York, which we
are able to endorse to the letter:
In notable contrast to general rail
reading is trip TO or from New York
by the Atlantic and Great Western
Railroad. just at this season, when
so many are going to or returning
from the East, 1t becomes a matter of
special interest to know on which of
the three great Eastern thOroughfares
the trip can be performed with the
most comfort, safety and dispatch by
passengers from our city. Fashion
has dictated the patronage of Niagara
Falls, Saratoga, Long Branch, &C., as
our watering places, and to all these
points direct connection is made.
Having Just returned over this
route, and paid n1y fare, it is with
pleasure that / testify to its many ad-
va1tages. First and foremost, it is to
be noticed that enough cars are al
WAYS provided to comfortably accom-
modate ell the passengers. Were this
care exercised over better known
roads, less complaint would be made.
But it is the equipment of coaches,
and the care and attention bestowed
upon the traveller, which commands re-
mark by the contrast.
The difference In gauge admits of
ears a foOtwider, ard this extra width
is applied entirely to the seats; no
worn and rusty coaches are permitted
to remain unrepaired; everything
looks bright and new. A new and
desirable improvement is the intro
duction of drawing room cars, one of
which is attached to each train, and
which affords complete privacy 10
parties with the conveniences of your
own home; they are fitted up In q
style of regal magnihcenee.
Traversing a country unequalled
for beauty and variety of landscape,
making the most direct connection
with all points of mercantile or pleas
ure interest, aud Withal possessing
the inherent attractions already men
toned, this line commends itself to
the merchant, and especially to fami-
lies journeying East.
The present management is making
great exertions to present the road to
thepublic in its true light, and Dir. w.
B. Shattuc, its representative in our
city, is one whose assertions are
always verified by facts. In increased
travel and general commentator he
will ind his reward, while the traV-
eler will find nothing but satisfaction
in a trip over the Atlantic and Great
Western Railway.

Clark's Campaigns in the Illinois

results affected the future Of this ma
ton as very few events of the past
have done. taking rank In importance
next after the Discovery of the Con-
tinent and the Revolution, with the
Purchase Of the Louisiana Territory.
But for this successful Expedition it
is very doubtful whether the First
Consul Of France would have made the
sale he did to President Jefferson ana
as events now appear in the history OF
the North American the Canadian
border would be the Ohio River,
rather than the Northern Lakes; and
we sbould then never have realized
the grand expansion Of the continent
which our country now enjoys, and
no visions of the opening commerce
Of the Pacific, of japan, China. and
the Indies would be looming up be-
fore our people, To comprehend fully
the causes which have brought about
the present territorial greatness of
the United States, the expedition of
Col. Clark should be fully under
stood, and the volume before US is
the most valuable publication to this
end We have seen. It is not an ex-
tensive work, but is gotten up in The
very best style, printed on elegant
tinted paper, with faultless typogra-
ply and attractive binding.
Walkers History of Athens County,
Ohio, is a large volume of 600 pages.
we'll illustrated with maps and en-
cravings Of many Of the most promi-
nent men Of early Ohio history.
While the work partakes chiefly Of a
local character, there is much in it Of
national interest, and it is we'll worth q
place in the library Of every intelli-
| gent gentleman, who desires to be
we'll informed in the history Of his
country. The chapters on the In.

| the Settlement Of Athens County, ore
of deep interest to the general reader
and the whole volume is full of at
tractive sketches Of pioneer life, anC
embracing biographical notices ol
some of the most prominent Of the
public men of Ohio and the North
