"EvERY ONE seems to love you," said a
gentleman to a little girl. "Do they ?" she
replied, smiling "well, I guess it's because
Z love them all,''
All never did philosophy, seeking for
deeply-hidden gems of wisdom, strike upon
truth more rare and pure; for loving and
kindly nature, like sweet music, awakens
kindred echoes. It possesses the power of
winning the love it freely gives. There is no
harshness that love cannot soften, no anger
that gentle word will not disarm. '44f

Geography.

Our sympathy has been frequently excited
by stories OF the existence of difficulties in
our schools IN relation to the study of geo.
graphy. These difficulties arise from va
rety OF causes-as, the want of interest in
the study on the part of the pupil, the want
OF uniformity in textbooks, and the want of
sympathy on the part Of the teacher MANY
good teachers have said to us that thew feel
less satisfied with their work on this subject
than that on any other.
These considerations induce us to present
formula, or list of topics, for the description
OF each state or country. It may be found
useful when there is want of uniformity of
books, and especially in advanced classes.
1t can be abridged or modified to suit circum-
stances, and is of course open to criticism and
improvement. - s@4

Exuberant Health.

/ Is blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to neg
lect the precautions necessary to preserve these
precious endownents. Indeed, as rule the
more healthy and robust a man is, the
more liberties he is inclined to take with his own
physique. 1t is some consolation to the natu-
rally weak and feeble TO know that they car
be SO invigorated and built up, by proper use
of the means which science has placed at their
disposal, as to have much better chance of long
life and exemptions from diseases and pain,

foolish enough to suppose themseive les invuinera-

Schoolmaster Shooting.

| Teaching the young idea how to
shoot is no joke In some localities,
Iinasmuch as the young idea shoots
back on very slight provooation.
We can recollect good many cases
Iof schoolmaster shooting within
the last ten years. No one'of the
atrocities referred to, however,
was quite as heinous as an affair
which occurred at Chattanooga a
few days ago. A schoolmaster
there attempted to chastise one of
his male pupils, but did not sue
ceed,. for The boy resisted, and
went home UNPUBLISHED. No harm.
was done-or, if any, it was to
the discipline of the school, for the
pedagogue was bafled. But the
pride of the youngster was offend
ed. His chiValrous blood was up.
He went home and told his big
brother, and the twain, with a
mutual friend, started out the next
day to thrash the teacher. They
found him at bis residence, and
stated their errand. A gentleman
who happened to be in the house
demonstrated with them, whereup-
on one of the precious party shot
him dead. The schoolmaster then
shot the brother of the boy, and
received in return a mortal wound,
but before he died killed the mu-
tual friend. In the space OF few
moments the four men were slain,
only the young reprobate who
caused the mischief remaining
alive and unhurt. 1t is such
butcheries as this that bring dis
grace upon the southern fire-eat-
ers," and give an air Of plausibility
to unjust charges Of blood,thifssi-
ness which the enemies of the
South make against the whole pop
ulation of this region.
