ed with as much ease by the teacher as
clay is worked in the hapd. of the potter.
Now, truths may be enforced, principles
inculeated, which will affect the whole fu.
tare Ifs.
Reason and observation show that the
teacher should be especially educated for
his work. The minister of the gospel to
beable TO discourse 10 ts, upon Ous moral
and religious duties, must be educated BY
years Of study. The lawyer is not admit
ted TO the bar till he has passed through
thorough course Of instruction. The
Physltihn must 60 through his course Of
reading and lectures, before permitted to
administer TO the diseases of the body.
Even he who makes a hat or a coat must
serve an apprenticeship, If them il 9TH
er professions and callings, so much is re-
quired, ought not the standard of acquire
mcnt Of those who assume positions of so
much trust and importance, to be propor-
tionally high?
The teacher honors bis profession, only
when he fulils all its duties wen. His
task is often thankless one, and under
the most auspicious circumstance dfi-
cult one but if he possess love and enthu-
iasm for his work I; if he is faithful, selfde-
nying and patient, his success is sure, his
reward is great Though he meet with
dlscouragemenis, though often weSried
with the tumuit of outward things, and
distressed with the struggles and failures
of the inner life, yet If he remembers that
he is engaged in an useful and honorable
calling, that he is teaching for eternity,
and that if he teach with the right spirit,
he will enjoy the approval of Heaven, he
is cheered and strengthened rbt harder TOLL
for nobler effort.
In the love and confidence of happy
childhood and youth, the teacher finds
great encouragement. He looks upon them
with interest and pride, as day after day
he instrGcts them III the various sciences,
and trains them for the Stern duties and
sweet sympathies Of life; and when odt in
the world, he hears of their usefulness,
of their success, their honors, he feels that
through his influence, vice and ignorance
are being overcome that the years of his
life have not been wasted, but that he has
been in some degree, benefattor to the
human race.
To the teacher is con6ded the develop
ment of the immortal mind, high and ho-
ly trust, for it is immortality that makes
us like the angels Intellect is the gift of
God; He gave it with the command "bury'
not thy talent in the earth" 1t is our
cloud by day, our pillar of fire by night
to guide us through the intricate ways of
life. The person of uncultivated intellect
has but few enjoyments, and those unreS
fined in their nature but to him who has
culture of heart and soul, the common
things of life have broad and high sig
nifcance, and he holds in his possession,
that power which reveals to him Che grand
est treasures of the universe.
The tiny flower that lifts to him its rose-
ate face whispers of the care the Creator
has for the smallest as well as the might
est of his works. The moon pours down
her floods of sivery light, each beam bear
ing to him a message from the worlds
above. The clouds wheel their chariots~
through the air, aud dropping their treas
ures on the parchcd earth, breathe into
his soul the beauty of their mission. The
ecrthquske's moan tells of agencies at
work in the firm old esrth, ''rock-rbbed
and ancient as the sun, I" that may one day
: work her ruin. The running brooks are
books to him; he finds sermons in tho
stones and good in every thing.
0, teachers. to you the world looks for
its future prosperity; on you depends the
happiness of tender susceptible souls, for
when all perishable things shall have passed
away, they will live when the SUB and the
stars are hoary with age, they will be
blooming in youth in world without end
Teach then for eternity; be brave, be ear
nest, be hopeful, be true to yourselves.
Remember the Great Teacher Of us all
his constancy and devotion to his labor Of
love how he came into the world ahd
filed it wiiii' me fragrance and melody oi
his beautiful hh.. Faint not for wher
having fulfilled yoar mission here, yor
stand before him a1d say: "Here am
!. and the children whom thou didst intrus
, to my carc.' then shall thou know thy re
ward in all its fullness.
