'.Go down 10 the meadow at break ofdAy.
Godowh to the meadow, son John,
And labor away 'mong the sweetest hay,
,Raat ever the sun shone on"
And John went down 10 the meadow land.
But he saw not the clover sweet,
And the aky was dun for he missed the sun,
Though il redeemed his brow with heat.
he missed the sun and he missed the light,
And tho world seemed upside down,
Till he caught tho sight Of a emile 30 wright,
And linsey- wooisey gown.
The sun went up and the light camO down,
And tho field was all agiow,
While his heart kept time to the merry eHi'he
OF the reaper's song below.
And Mary she laughed at her lovsr's moot
As she turned from his fond caress'

A Minister once prayed in the pulpit
that "the Lord would bless the congregation

on its way to church, and those who were at
home getting ready, and that, in his infinite

those who reached the house of God just in
time after that.

BYRON TOWNSHIP INSTITUTE.

WINTHROP, Iowa, Dec. 3, 1869.
Institute met at ii A. NJ. Mr.. Pierce
not being present, organized with A. Trelle
as President and A. I. Flickinger, Sscreta-
ry. AS bnt few teachers were present adj
journed to meet at p. NJ.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Met at P. NJ.
Mr. TrelIe resigned his position as Chair
man in favor of s. G. Pierce, who made sew
eral very good and pointed remarks as 10
what is expected OF each teacher in our TIP.
Institute.
The subject of reading was presented hy
Mr.. Treble. He insisted on the manner in
which the pupil should hold his book in the
left hand. Each member of the class is
mum bered and is called by number. fany
mistakes occur, the number is placed oppo-
site the number of their names; would have
such pupil pronounce each word in the par
agraph or verse. they find word they
cannot pronounce it is written on the b'a k
board and the class pronounce it in unison
and separately, until he or she understands
it perfectly; would have one-half Or the
whole lesson written on slate or paper by
pupil, before coming to class; would give
short lessons.
1t was moved and carried that we dis
pense with the regular programme and take
up the subject Of Progress for our winter
schools, also the subject Of Reading.
After hearing a defamation from Mr..
Perkins, the subject of reading was again
resumed by Mr.. Trelle, by calling on a class
e III n ,,oAo1 lapSpp
Mr.. Pierce thought the subject of reading
was more neglected by teachers than any
branch taught; that pupils learned incden-
tally, and that we should take more radi-
cal stand, and leave off all aniiquated forms
and try new methods. Mr.. Trelle's method
is something new and meets with many OBJ
jections from teachers present, chiefly on &C.
count of its consuming too much time to be
made practical in our common schools. The
great trouble in reading seems to be, to get
pupils to study their lessons. Mr.. Pierce
said be never had pupils write their lessons
unless it was to reproduce the lesson in
their own words on slate or paper in COM
positional form.
The subject of the sounds Of letters was
brought up in connection with reading and
discussed at some length. The general
opinion Of the teachers present is that small
pupils should be taught the sounds Of letters
and practice them both in spelling and read
ing.
Writing was also taken up in connection
with reading, some advocating special
method, others using it in combination with
spelling or reading.
The following general programme was
adopted subject TO notifications according
to number of classes and nrooress of nu-

The Light of the sky.

A gentlemen = Mr.. Harrington, oi
Ryde, in the Isle of Wigbt-has pro-
pounded a new theory which explains
the light of the sky to be the result OF
chemical change in the iDfammable
gases which form so large proportion
Of the earth's atmosphere-that these in
hammable vapors, while under the
agency of the suns actinic and gravi-
tating power, form a tide in that part
which is opposite the sun, in which syfh-
cient heat is developed to render tina,
half of our atmosphere luminous, thereby
producing the heat and light which
warns and enlivens the earth's surface.
Mr.. Harrington enunciated his views in
a lecture before large and influential
audience at Ryde, on the 22d of Febru'
ary. At the close of the lecture reso-
luton was carried unanimously, :" that
the subject commended itself as worthy
of careful investigation. London Nescs,
May l.
