OUR OBJECTS.

'Procrastination is the thief Of time" and
we must NOT delay the support of the Editor
of our "Teachers colunn,' else the object
for which it is intended will not be realized.
All pursuits and occupations in life have
for their nourish ment sooe great and ulti-
mate object. The poor laborer is happy
and contented With good health, by the aid
Of which, he is enabled to support his fami-
ly. The talented and wealthy are bringing
to bear their whole power OF thought and
calculation, for the purpose of receiving the
plaudits Of the world. The christian is ar
dently seeking the truth Of God, which will
solace him in the hour OF Death and gain
eternal happiness. Excepting the latter,
the teachers vocation is the most to be de-
pended upon for true principle of education
and religion. How deeply should we feel
as teachers the responsibility that rests up
on our mode o! teaching, our conduct and
principles. The IDEAS and habits that chill
dren assume while under our tuelage will
have untold effects upon not only those now
around us, but upon future generations. IT.
then, our aim is TO improve the minds Of the
young and prepare them for the future du-
ties which will devolye upon them, how earn
esty and devoutly should we strive for the
perfect accomplishment Of our task. But
this is not the only inducement, for we're it
not for the small sum of S35 per month,
few Of Us would be occupying the situations
we now hold. Compensation is necessary
for our support, but those A.at are not ac-
tuated by other motives than money, we
think fall shor, OF bcing good teachers. Let
Us, therefore. at the same time we agitate
the public mind in favor of higher wages,
own our incompetenes aud strive to become
more thorough in our work as teachers.
Let US stand hy The Editor of our column,
even if we are ashamed of our productions;
also let us keep up our Township Institutes
| Y prompt attendance and active interest,
believing this one great privilege for gener.
al improvement. The instructor should be
well qualified in order to avoid giving im-
proper ideas, but if the pupil believes ths
of teachers erroneous, let him
manifest it by argument until he is convin-
ced. All have an equal right to their opin-
ion, and should not be swayed in all cases.

A Word about Schools.
Parents, it is your duty to visit yor

Parents, it is your duty to visit your
schools, and encourage teacher and schol-
ars. Schools are very much improved by
being visited. 1t gives great encourage
mcnt to teachers to know that their patrons
take deep interest in their schools, and it
gives teachers the energy to labor with re-
newed vigor. It is sad fact that able aud
competent teachers receive no better wages
than incompetent and careless ones. In
fact many of our schools are seemingly sold
out to the lowest bidder, like job Of work,)
to teachers who have no desire to become
able and efficient, and what is worse, are
lax in morals. Is the training Of immortal
minds Of SO little consequence? 1t is the
beauty of our commcb SCHOOLS tha, they are
not sectarian, yet, TO say the least, the teach
er should BE- person Of a high moral tons
Of character, if not a christian. Teachers
should become acquainted with their pat
rons, and double duty devolves upon par.
ents to become acquainted with the real
worth of the teachers of their children. We
hope the time is not far distant when the
number Of competent tea ;hers will be great
y increased, and the convenience, neatness
and arrangement Of school buildings will be
decidedly improved, being provided with
good apparatus. All, or nearly all of our
schools, are sadly deficient in the amount OF
blackboard that they should have. No me
chanic will labor with poor implements, yet
teachers have to work sometimes under the
greatest inconvenience, and thousands Of
dollars are annually wasted by indiscreet
management iu school affairs. Therefore
let Us labor for improvement.

Legal Lore.

John w. Crockett and James Gibson
were able lawyers, and in full practice, in
the early days Of Jackson's Purchase.
They both resided at Fulton, Hickman
County, Kentucky. On one occasion they
were employed on opposite sides of an
ejectment case, before magistrate. The
court was held in school house. Crockett
was reading the law to the court, and when
he got through, Gibson asked him for his
book, saying that the statute jnst read was
new to him. Crockett refused to give it TO
him on the ground that it was his own pri-
vate property, and if Mr.. Gibson wanted
the benefit of law books. there were some
for sale. The court ruled that the book
was private property, and that Gibson had
no right to see it, except with Crocket's
consent. Gibson was puzzled, but, being a
man Of resources, he fell upon plan which
completely upset Crockett's calculations.
He stepped back and found under desk
M old copy of Noah Webster's spelling
hook, and in addressing the court, he read
from the speller: BE i, enacted by the Cen
eral Assembly of the Commonwealth Of
Kentucky, that all laws heretofore passed
there fitting Crocke,t's law be and they
are hereby repealed" Crockett sprang 10
his feet with, Let me see that book. :
mo you doh't," say Gibson ''this book,
sir, is private property, and am not in the
habit Of packing law books around for the
benefit of others" 1t is needless to say
Crockett lost his case, Gibson having the
last cut at him.

THE Personal JOURNALIST.

IT is only within the las: FIVE or ten years
that the personal journalist has claimed an
acknowledged position, and set up re.u-
lar and well-paid business. Now he infests
the country. There are many newspapers
that live BY his labors and very few, what.
ever their position, are free from the con-
tamnation of his touch. His breathings
tain! tie social atmosphere, and deveope in
us all a moral disease, the seeds of which
are in every heart. For the curiosity which
he pampers and gratiies is but monstrous
ard distorted form of the desire of knowl.
edge, a perversion Of the humanity supposed
to be expressed in Terence's famous line.
II am man, and regard nothing human as
foreign to me- which has been made since
it was first uttered, as it was then made, The
excuse for prying into the affairs Of others,
on the score of neigh boriness and sympathy.
What tie gossip, the scandal monger, and
the quidnunc do, singe-handed and under
protest-almost under ban-the personal
journalist makes it his business to do for,
gain and what they tattle TO individuals he
by means Of the printing press and the fash
ion Of reading newspapers, tells to thousands
and tens of thousands. There is no restraint
Of dccency upon the noble enterprise which
carries him beyond the limits of privacy for
the satisfaction of curiosity. In his eager
ness to bring hidden things TO light. he pass
es the bounds set up by personal reserve
with the daring and the dash of swine
running at swil-trough. Personal jour
nalism, as it is row prac,ised, has voided
mans life, and woman's too, ofall semblance
of privacy.-Richard Grant White, in jan

SNO w FLAX ES.

Out Of the bosom Of the air,
Out of the cloud folds Of her garments shaker
Over the woodlands brown and bare,
Over the harvest fields forseken,
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow.
Even as our cloudy fancies take
Suddenly shape in some divine expression,
Even as the troubled heart doth make
In the white countenance confession,
The troubled sky reveals
The grief it fcels.
This is the poem Of the air,
Slowly in silent syllnbles recorded;
This is the secret of despair,
Long in its cloudy bosom boarded,
Now whispered and revealed
To wood and field.

OF any pleasures that are not Grim
inal; that every diversion these feo
persons take is at the expense O
some one virtue or the other, anC
that the very first step of these fea
persons out Of business is into vice
or folly. So that the sentence says
precisely the contrary of what the
author meant; or rather the whole
is perfect nonsense. All this arises
from the misuse of the pronoun
they. If instead of this word the
author had put people an general,

With the same felicity, he pounces
on errors in the masterpieces of DR..

The later generation of authors,
Macaulay, Allison and others, have
also found minute critics By the
showing Of an English scholar, Mr..
Breen, the pages of Allison swarm
with the most egregious blunders.
But enough Of this; we have said
quite enough to display our willing
ness to sustain President Grant
against captions censors, who may
check him in the path of improve
ment. We point out that such
critics find fault with every body. |
We wish to encourage Grant to
write and to speak, and if there is
any thing in him, to show it. |
We would draw him out of that fools
refuge-a glum taciturnity. For he

June has come-the em'rald month

Inc golden morning greet;
And birds, IN every tree and bush
are Warbling low and sweet.

70 every passing breeze
ana everywhere around Is heard
The hum Of busy bees.
The flowers drOop their dewy heads
70 shake the drops away,
ana then look up with happy smiles
10 greet the = God Of DAY.
The morning zephyrs skimming DER
The daisy-spangled mead,
Catch up the perfume from the flowers

The azure sky is dotted DER 54f

And merry, tinkling bells awake
The echoes of tho vale,
Far away the blue hills stand
A purple, misty haze
And on their phantom forms love
To idly sit and gaze.
Dame Natures golden harp is strung.
me strings are all in tune.
Now strike a welcome greeting to
The laughing month of June.
