FOR THE COLUMN.

Among the varied and almost countless
occupations of ambitious man, where do
we discover those weighty responsible
ties which are destined to rest upon those
individuals who have chosen Teaching as
their vocation? They are not the respon-
sibilities of a day, month, or even a
year, but those which extend through
time and reach into eternity whose
boundless regions will continue to re-echo
to the narrow limits Of time those holy in
SEPARATIONS of things infinite, which pa53zg
owe their origin to the humble, sincere
teaching, and blessed influence Of the
faithful and jealous instructor.
The teacher must fully appreciate the
work entrusted to his care; he must lay
before his pubils (not only by precept but
by example) the rules of politeness, indus
try and integrity, and point out the true
pathway by his own yirtuous acts strict.
ly adhering to the principles ne is striv-
ing to impressor even child would soon

minds of the youth of the present day

mold for life of usefulness here and no
illness hereafter. 1 have heard it remark
ed and it was by one experienced in the
work-"it was toll without recompense
care all in vain" But is it so ?-is the
work wholly void of consolation?
Ithink-yes, Iuight say am sure
that the teacher who has consecrated his
earnest, ardent and self-sacrifcing efforts
to the work of administering the substan-
tial bread of knowledge, will often realize
evidences of an impression made, which,

A Rainy Day in School.

The recent moisture in the atmosphere
interrupted our farming operations to
such an extent, that we concluded to spend
one of these many rainy days in school
visitations A gloomy day often produces
bad effect upon our naturally morose dis
position, and on this occasion we actually
developed into fault-fnder
Upon examining the outside of the first
constitution of learning" that met our
gaze, we became conscious that the pupils
were favored with an extensive play
ground-it being four rods in width, hay
ing Lake Michigan for its terminus,-it
other, we suppose, Is in the unexplored
regions of the western prairies.
Entering, the first thing that attracted
our attention was great deal of superflu-
GUS engraving upon the benches, while an
extravaganza Of gimlets, jack knives, &c,
were exhibited in profusion by the young
architects The reading class upon the
floor, represented by diminutive urchin,
was interrupted somewhat by our en-,
trance, but, after giving us a modest stare,
he grasped his book with firm hands and
continued with better speed than could
have been expected from one of his size.
He was reading from the National reader
the sentence "We all need teachers for our
instruction" but in his haste to articulate
he changed the last word to destruction.
The idea struck us that it is pity such a
necessity had been neglected A class in
photography was next upon the pro-
gramme. After some scufling, eight or
ten pupils were arranged to their own sat-
isfaction, near the door ard far from the
teacher. The words were. pronounced in
stentorian voice, and spelled if possible
In louder tones by Young America. Du-
ring this exercise a young gentleman be-
came puzzled over the photography of the
word turtle, which he declared after many
attempts to be t-i-r-t-a-i-l But slight
misunderstanding between two girls, who
evidently had not reached the age of
sweet seventeen, now drew the attention
of all. They were engaged in desperate
hand to hand conflict. We sympathized
with the combatants, Of course, supposing
that "Woman's rights"or some other equal
~ important question had been under dis
cussion; but the teacher interfered and
after time succeeded in partially restor-
Eng peace, but we think his dominions are
still in an unsettled state. The thirteenth
class exercise during our stay of an hour
was soon finished, and we left, feeling
somewhat sore over the report we gave
when "master of the district school" We
slowly departed with our gaze bent upon
our 'pedal extremities," thinking of the
great good that might be accomplished in
this rural district, if an experienced teach
er were employed and supported, instead
of an ignorant unqualified apprentice.
But, lo the sun again gilds these fer
tile fields, our amlable nature returns, and
we hope upon our next visit to this high
free school we Will be in better humor.

Yosemite and the Female
Teachers.


AT this time many of the tourists
from the East are visiting Yosemite
the great chasm in The Sierra Ne
vadas. 1T is $50 miles away-to
the southeast of San Francisco. The
last half of the wayis by wheels over
a road at this time hot and terribly
dusty. 1t is better to1visit Yosemite
early in June, when the atmosphere
is clearer and cooler, the cascades
have full volume Of water, and the
landscape on every side wears a fresh
er look.
1t must not be imagined, however,
that Eastern tourists are the only
visitors this summer to Yosemite, or
that Anna Dickinson and Edna Dean
Proctor are the only strong-mind wo-
men who have this season looked on
its lofty waterfalls. San Francisco,
though a young city, has a brigade Of
public school teachers, two hundred
strong, nine-tenths of whom are fc-
males. AS a delegation they are just
what they ought to be-the most
intelligent, energetic, reputable sclass
in. the city. A large majority of the
older and more experienced of these
public educators are from the Allan
tic Subsequently, I might safely
say, from New England. California
has only just begun to furnish native
born teachers.
During the vacation Of the past
month | was at Stockton when the
steamer Paul Pry came up from San
Francisco, bringing, among other
precious freight, twenty-nine of these
''school marms.' A considerable
gathering Of solemn looking bache-
lors were at the wharf at an early
hour to witness the disembarking.
They came ashore in pairs, each with
the inevitable reticule, containing the
necessary articles of travel, and a
supply Of pencils and paper with
which to jot down all the little Incl
dents that suggest themselves to a
goddess Of education. They were
dressed in appropriate travelling cos
tunes ;I'.neat'' butnot ''gaudy''-and
were as independent looking a set of
people as | ever saw. The reporter
Of the stockton Gazette, who was my
companion, was disposed to criticise.
Ut their beauty he thought it best to
say little-''it was not a superior
article; at leastthere. were no Hebea
am ong them.'' !
1t was true they were of various
ages Eand different styles. There
was the pert young girl of the pri-
mary department, with a tinge Of the
theatrical in her manners, sandwiched
between two more matured maidens
OF the intermediate and grammar
schools. Then there was the more
sedate and thoughtful-looking woman.

TRIAL OF REAPERs.-On Wednesday,
June 9th, there was trial of Reapers and
Mowers, at Westover, Charles City Co., Va,
at which twenty Mowers and fourteen Reap
ers were entered for the prize. The follow
ing gentlemen acted as Judges: Col. Hill
Carter, James 3. Jones, Col. j. NJ. Wilcox,
| Joseph T. Kent, e. A. Rawlins. VIM. H,
Benton and DIR. c. S. Newman. In submit
ting their report, the Judges make the fol-
lowing statement:
The place selected for the trial of mowers
was field Of clover, which was very heavy
and very much lodged, and the sariace Of the
ground very uneven, which, added to the fact
Of the grass being vet made the trial one of
the severest that moving machines have ever
been called upon to endure. The land was
divided off into lots of one acre each, which
were numbered, aud duplicate numbers placed
in hat and drawn therefrom by the repre-
sentatives of the different machines. About
two o'clock the machines were called into the
field, and owing to a lack of teams but five
were started at time, which were the first
five in the list of entries, aud all cut the acre
! allotted to them within an hour, except the
WEIGH, from Brockport, n. Y.
The Climax, from Cory Pennsylvania. was
the first to finish, in fifty minutes. although
the Wood, from IIoosic Falls, New York, was
| only one minute behind Climax, and but for
the fact of the Wood machine catching atan>
gled piece of telegraph wire, which was cut
through in three places, it was thought it
| would have been the first out. The Advance
and Cayuga Chief finished together in fifty
four minutes, aud the WEIGH in sixty three
minutes The trial of the other machines
followed in tho order entered, and with the
exception of the Union cut their acre inside
the hour Several Of the machines caught
old tin cans and canteens, which accidents
will, no doubt, be considered by the commit
tee. a. .... III. .. --lf
After mowers had been tried, the combin-
ed machines followed and all did good work,
and deserve all the good that can be said Of
| them. We cannot, however, forbear to men,
ton particularly the Wood and the New
Yorker in this connection. The Wood stop
ped but once. on account of a tin can getting
fastened in the guards, the New Yorker but
once on the same account, and once on ac-
count of getting the guards clogged with
grass. They cut the tangled and wet grass
with perfect case, and to the entire satisfacs

The night before and on the morning of
the trial of rcaping machines was rainy and
the wheat being rather green, and filed with
partridge pear, made the test severe one
The machines were tried in the order entered,
and in drawing for places the Wood machine
