OBITUARY.

Charles f. Roberts, son of George W.
and Emma Roberts. born 18th day of
April 1869, and departed this life on the
4th day of September, 1870.
Ours yesterday-God's to-day Yes,
little Charlie is dead. For him the pains
of the flesh with its dust, are at peace
Like a May blossom plucked from its stem,
each leaf in its verdure, each bud in its
bloom, now ;withered and lifeless-like a
dew drop pearled in mornings beam and
glimmering to the sun, he was ''exhaled
and went to heaven" Sweetly he fell
asleep in Jesus, and death only came as
the .'evangil of life eternal, to wed him to
the Angels" Of all sorrows there is none
which 50 touch the heart as the death of the
young and beautiful. 1t is peculiarly SO
in the present instance, for Charlie, though
an infant, was a child of more than ordin-
airy character. He was the pride of home
the idol of father and mother. Alas!
Why was he taken? What can heal so
deep a wound? What image replace so
bright an IDOL? Such a bereavement may
be softened by sympathy, but God alone
can calm its agony. Wemay weep by the
grave of our little friend, but the sunshine
heaven can illuminc our tears and bring
the rainbow of promise to our hearts.
..Sweet bud of life. God knew this earth
Was not Il home for thee;
He Ook thee even from thy birth
To bless eternity"
Elizabethton, Sept. 10. 1870.

DECLARATION I'm SCHOOL

All teachers do not have the same ideas
on this subject. From what we have seen
in our schools respecting defamation, we
conclude that the subject is not understood
by most of our school teachers. Boys who
cannot read well, do not comprehend the
meaning of the author so as to enter into
the spirit of the composition. Reading is
not simply ~pronouncing the authors words,
but it is sometimes thought to be nothing
more. This, to some extent. may account
for the great number of poor readers to
be found even among those who claim to
be scholars.
Custom allows the mere tyro to declaim
the most difficult pieces in the school books.
How can any one, ard especially a boy,
convey to the audience what he himself
does not understand? We are at a loss to
know. We have seen small boys, parrot
like, p~ronouncing the words of difficult
pieces of compositions, a knowledge of
which they did not possess the most dis
tant idea. When boys are unable to en-
ter into the spirit-of their pieces, they are
very likely to fall into bombastic decla-
nations, full of sound, but devoid OF
sense. 1t has never occurred to us where
in boys have been benefited by attempt
ing to play the man on the stage. \ boy
in "a boys place is very apt to enlist the
sympathy of his hearers, but when he puts
on mems clothes and overdoes the thing by
artificial gesticulation. he utterly fails to
interest the audience.
Boys contract these habits by being al
lowed to declaim what they do not under
stand. Teachers are responsible for these
r%uinous habits into winch boys fall when
they sacrifice nature for some artificial
model. We believe in defamation in
schools, but as boys are sometimes taught.
it is doubtful whether they are benefited
by the instruction.
These suggestions are thrown out to
counteract the evil tendency of forced and
bombastic defamation. The only way to
avoid these difficulties is to allow simple
pieces to be memorized. such as boys can
easily understand. 1t is an easy matter to
tell what one knows, but rather difficult
to relate what is not well understood
There is too much neglect in the schools
on this subject. What is a boy expected
to do with one of Webster's master pieces?
trust our teachers will consider the

MIR. Davidson's school.

On last Friday, Mr.. Davidson closed his
school. Quite a large number of persons
witnessed the exercises which consisted of
composition, defamation, dialogues &c.
The exercises were well received by the
audience. Every thing was quiet and the
day passed off pleasantly every way. Mr..
Davidson is a popular teacher and con-
ducts a good school. The number of pu-
pills in attendance was large most of the
time. BY proper management the school
can be continued open to all the children
of the neighborhood at little expense as
long as the people are willing to pay for a
part of it

Preserve your PaDers.

Many who are subscribers for newspa-
pers never think about preserving them,
but as soon as they are glanced over, are
thrown aside. You should remember that
the most interesting reading matter to be
found is a file of old newspapers. Who
can take up a paper dated half a century
ago, without the sad thought rushing upon
him. that almost every name there printed
is now cut upon a tombstone. 1t is easy
to preserve the papers and they will re-
pay the trouble, for like wine, their value
increases with age.

Committed TO yaiI.

\ young man, named Price, said to be
from Hawkins county, was committed to

He is accused of stealing a quantity of
wearing apparel, from Mr.. William Bay

whose house he entered on Sunday last,
while the family were absent attending
church. The stolen articles, we are in
formed, were found in his possession.

Comn,endatory.

PRoF. EDWARD B Nicely. of St. Jo-
seph, one of the most prominent and sue
cessful educators in the State, gives the
JOURNAL OF EDUCATION the following
ca rnest word of commentator in a letter
to one of the daily papers in that city.
He says;
Its editor and publisher, Mr. j. B.
MERwIN, is known all through the States
as an able writer and lecturer, and is one
OF the most earnest and efficient advocates
OF popular education in the West. He is
the very man to take hold of this enterprise
to make it a success. l know him not only
by reputation, but personally and hence
speak advise dly. X Il 4 Many of the ar
ticles are worth infinitely more than the
price charged for a years subscription. No
teacher or school officer in our State can
afford to do without the JOURNAL and
the teacher who tries to dispense with
1t will soon find that he or she is behind
the times. But not only should every
teacher in the State subscribe for and read
1T. but every school officer. whether he be
director of a sub-district or clerk of a
township, will find it of great assistance to
him in the discharge of his official duties.
Two features, in particular, render it of
special value to school officers. One is what
is called the '%:offcial Department. which
contains each month the opinions and
decisions of the State Superintendent up
on the doubtful and less understood por-
ton of the school law. This feature alone
makes it worth more than the subscription
price to our school Directors, many of whom
are inexperienced and at a loss frequently
to understand our school law with its var
ious amendments. The other feature al
luded to, is that each number ofthe Jour
nal will contain an elevation and ground
plan of a school building, designed to ac-
comodate from fifty TO six hundred pupils.
This Is. indeed a most Interesting and valu-
able feature. If the school authorities in
our country had access to the information
which will be impaired in this way month
ly, through the pages, o: the Journal many
serious mistakes in the construction of school
houses would be avoided.

Green ADDlcS.

As the season is near at hand when our
agricultural friends will be gathering their
apples, we would suggest to those who
wish to preserve this luxurious fruit for
next Summer, to select only that which is
perfectly sound, and wrap each apple sep
arately in tissue paper. The paper Will
cost but a trife for a few barrels, and we
will guarantee them to keep perfectly and
retain their favor nearly equal to the time
when taken from the tree.

Washington County Warrants are now
selling at 50 cts. to the dollar. The cause
of this reduction is the unlimited amount

there being no money in the hands of the

that the present County Court will do bet
