Literary Review of the Great
Work OF ts.s 4iac.
BT Al An, JR.

We have received, from the Editor
and publisher, a work entitled, Ills
tory Of Tama County compiled and
published by Uriah I. S. Rice, Wa
terloo, Iowa. This remarkable work
which is hereafter to be considered OF
proligious literary merit, and OF un-
boundel value to all the good people
of Tama county, its author having
divcl into the depths, parchance, Of
some Tama City grocery, to fish there
from material for the same and drink
inspiration from the spirits there CON
gregatcd, that he might the better
..prag up drowned honor by the locks, =
this work, which is to be handed down
to postcrity by the side OF those Of
Rollin, Hume, Macaulv, Prescott and
other great historians OF past ages,
starts out by giving the area OF Tama
county as being 30 miles long by 20
broad, and then, by new process OF
mathematical calculation, informs us
that it contains 40 1000 acres; whereas,
hy the old and timc-honorcd method
OF computation, it would contain but
3SI, 700, making difference OF $4,000
acres in favor OF the land holders Of
the county-a small discrepancy, how
ever, when the magnitude OF the sub.
ject Is taken into consideration.
Again, we are informed, on page l.,
that the soil "on the bottom lands, is
OF nearly a pure silicious,' but as sill
cious is an adjective, derived from 81
lex, and as sllex is the principal ingre-
dent of sand, we are lea to conclude
that our author intended "slush" in
stead, and that, through some hocus
pocus of the printer, or printers devil,
or both, the word "slush" was trans
muted into "siliclous." the former, in
the opinion Of good judges, forming
the entire soil OF our bottom lands,
particularly those Of Tama City and
vicinity, the locality so m;nutely eS
amined by our author. In the same
paragraph we are told, that s'clay pre-
dominates, and ere fenced of into fae
farms This will, no doubt, astonlsh
some future explorer of the dust-cov-
cred archives Of the past, rs they dig
up and pore over the musty History

CONDUCTED By
Book OF Reference for Schools.
J. r. STEW ART.

1t is one of the encouraging signs OF
progress IN the art of teaching, that
Teachers Libraries" are becoming
numerous, and many Of them OF q
highly meritorious character. All pro-
gressiye, growing teachers read on the
subject of teaching. They seek such
books and periodicals as contain the
| best methods of teaching. But Boards
OF Directors have something to do in
which they have, heretofore, been too
remlss. We refer to providing books
OF reference for schools.
/ The textbooks used in our schools
contain all that is really necessary to
the subject taught therein; but there is
much collateral kowleage, highly ben
fetal to the learner, which cannot be
embodied in the textbook without
uselessiy encumberiny it. Such, for
example, are many geographical and
biographical references in the higher
readers, which demand the aid of a
gazetteer and biographical cyclopelia,
Having suitable reference books to
consult, will promote independence Of
thought, besides making the road to
learning easier and more attractive.
We therefore recommend to Boards
of Directors to put in their schools
some such list OF books rs the follow
ing: Webster's Dictionary-the new
illustrated edition, either Of the Una
bridged or National Pictorial Lip
pneott's Gazetteer OF the " orid. Eth
cr parley's Popular Cyclopedia Of Bl
ograshy, or Cobbett's Cottage Cyclo-
pedia. Bailey's Students Companion.
French on the Study of words.
This list ought to cost less than s25,
and would prove worth hundreds. It
is hoped that Directors will not tail to
supply their schools with few OF these
valuable aids to learning.
While speaking OF the means ~l i'm
proving facilities OF the children. we
desire to remind school officers OF the
means of obtaining light upon their
duties. They are authorized to sub
scribe for the School journal OF the
State But we are not aware that
more than one Board in the County is
now taking it. If Boards will take
this Journal and carefully preserve
the copies for reference, they will find
guidance in the decisions Of the State
Superintendent, and the opinions Of
the Attorney General, sufficient to di-
rect them i'll many doubtful cases, and
thereby often prevent those trouble
some appeals SO annoying to the Coun-
ty Superintendent, and so seldom pro-
motive Of educational progress in the
nelghborhoods from which such APP
peals come. Besides this, the Journal
is part of the school library, and will,
therefore, be accessible to any member
OF the school who may desire to use
it. 1t will thus be OF double bene
fit.

lie waits, unmndful Of our needs,
Unmindinl of a world that pleads
For nobler words and grander deeds,
Unmindful Of his sacred Jutyl
Some kindly CLEANS Of hope arc sent
Across the clouded firmameat,
To tighten up our discomfort
While we his coming are awaiting
Some promises ef greater good,
But dimly heard, half UNDERSTOOD
Like Summer rustlngs in the wood
Ills day Of advent ante -dating
There rises here and there soul
That, as the moments onward roll,
Speed others forward to their goal
With actions eloquent Of feeling;
Such noble souls, with purpose true,
Go bearing, all their life-long through,
Some glad ming thing for me and you
The years are patiently revealing!
Give thanks, o grateful hearts, for these,
Whose names are born on every breeze,
In every land far 0 er the seas,
Who cheer the world with ligh millenial!
Who stand as on some lofty height,
lllumining earths drsky night;
Who scatter flowers Of being bright,
TO bloom forever more perennial!
lie honors God who blesses men
'Tis doubly true. 1t follows, then,
lie honors most who blesses when
His blessings multiply in number;
And he who gives wider reach
To thought and doing, life and speech,
Uplifts uncountel ones in each.
To bless, III turn, when he shall slumber!
Then haill all hail. the noble ones
Who, blessing Us, shall bless our sons
So long as living onward runs,
Through countless coming generations!
Whose monuments that proudly rise
Beneath the swectly smiling skies.
Shall make more generous and wise
The bound!css future of the nations!
All hail the few, the only great
Who, graRted by some kindly fate,
Make earth the happier while we wait
The thousand wears of life elYsian!
But speed the dry, Q laggarl Time!
When manhood, grown to golden prime,
And in its glory all sublime,
On e~ery hand shall meet our vision.

Would chant a anthem at his birth!
For b;des within him woudrous worth
Something as near divine as human!
Aye, speed him on, nor longer wait!

And Number One shall radua.e,
And then may we'd the Coming Woman!
