THE OLD HOMESTEAD.

All ! here 1t is, that dear old place,
Unchanged through all these years
How like some sweet, familiar face
Ny childhood's home appears
The grand old trees beside the door
Still spread their branches wide,
The river wanders as of yore,
With sweetly murmuring tide
The distant hills look green and gray,
The flowers are blooming wild,
And every thing looks glad to-day,
AS when | was a child.
Regardless how the years have flown,
Half wondering as | stand;
[ catch no fond endearing tone,
clasp no friendly hand
think my mothers smile to meet,
list my fathers call,
pause to hear my brothers. feet
Come bounding through the hall;
But silence all around me reigns,
A chill creeps through my heart
No trace of those I love remains,
And tears unbidden start. t.
What though the sunbeams fall as fair,
What though the budding flowers
Still shed their fragrance Oh the air,
Within life's golden hours?
The loving ones that gathered here
These walls may not restore;
The tones that filled my youthful ear
VIII greet my soul no more.
And yet quit the dear old place
With slow and lingering tread,
As when we kiss clay cold face,
And leave it with the dead.

HOPE

Child OF pleasure, say, what is it
This bright phantom which we love !,
Thou eanst.claim it's longest visit
As it's tleeting footsteps rove.
Then, oh name this Phoenix treasure,
Born anew WIENER it dies,
Say, what is it, child Of pleasure,
Which we all so dearly prize?
Child ofsorrow, canst thou name it?
Dark despair was in thine heart
Till, with gentle mercy, came it,
Bidding that deep gloom depart T
Here to-day, and fled to morrow,
Yet to thee the dearest boon.
Say, what is it, child of sorrow,
That can change thy night to noon'
Dark were life-most dark and lonely
g II, when pleasures days were DER,
We could feel remem brance only,
And could never hope for more, n
Dark were life-what creature human
Could the weight Of sorrow bear,
Did not Hopes sweet trust illumins.
IT'S the smile that angels wear.

with the sunlight, with the moonlight, with
the starlight sweet and golden,
Come to us a thousand memories that are
true and sweet and olden;
And we enter in the chambers OF our heafts

And with blooming hopes we cover all the
lows that care hath blighted;
And, encouraged and rejoicing, we go fortn
upon our way. Ht t2

with the darkness fiercely scoWling,
With the rafting of the rain drops, and the
tempest's dreary bowling, E5s. a.rr
Thro' our weary hearts, in darkness, we go
hating, stumbling cropping "'
While Despair is hard upon us, and cen Gov

And in sadness and IN silence, Tor CLEAN OF
light we pray, ...r. ,..i..
Then we yearn and call for comfort; but no
comfort comes unto us, H5J
And we wrap ourselves in sadness, and de-

And the darkness gathers round US, with It's

And We pray again for succor. that the dreary
spell be broken .....g-
With the light Of something shining, be it
only but one ray. ,.
Then within our hearts a blossom from the
dreary mold is sprirging,
Then the birds OF hope makes musicjwith their

Until through the veil Of darkness bursts the

And our longing eyes are greeted with the

STRANGE.-One OF our exchanges thus re.
cords an experience which.isn't at all new to
any member Of the editorial fraternity: ut
is strange how close the people read the
papers. we never say anything that any.
body don't like but what we soon hear OF it,
and everybody tells US about it. But if once
in while we happen to say good thing, we
never hear of that. We may pay some men
q hundred compliments, and give him dog
en- puffs, and he takes it as a tribute to his
Greatness and never thinks anything about it
never thinks it does him any good. But If
we happen to say something this very man
don't like, or something he imagines reflects
on him or his character, see how quick ne
fies mn and gets mad about it. All our evil
is duly charged to us, but we never, appar.
emily. get any credit for what good we do"

HORACE MANN.-Horace Mann was
once seated in an omnibus with young
man who coolly took out cigar, lit a
match, and put the cigar in his mouth
Mr.. Mann stopped the coach and insisted
that the young man should be elected for
disobeyiDg the rules. He was not
pacitied until the owner of the cigar
touched the indignant reformer's hand
with the uncharred end, in proof that
the cigar had never been lighted; and
Mr.. Mann, 10th to lose an opportunity to
impress moral truth upon the hayward
youth, turned around and Iectured him
severely upon the vice of deception. {.

How A HORSE WAS MADE TRoTTER.
Judge Brigham, the horse between
whom and Tommy Jefferson there is a
talk ola $4,000 match, is said not to have
shown any disposition to trot fast until
he was one day frightened by the whistle
of a factory at Fall River. Mr.. Green
had been experimenting with him, and
had lost patience, and arrived at the con
clusion that he would never make a trot-
ter, when the unearthly shrek of the
steam whistle frightened the horse into a
new existence. He showed in moment
that he could :rot, ani since then he has
taken rank among the great flyers of the
land.

BE MAN.-Fooli spending is the
father OF poverty. Do not be ashamed OF
nard work. Work for the best salaries
or wages you can get, but work for hall
price rather than be idle Be your own
master, and do not let society or fashion
swallow up your ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, coat
and boots. Do not eat up or wear out al.
chat you earn. Compel your selfish body
80 spare something Tor profits saved. Be
stlngy to your own appetite, but merclfuI
To others necessities. Help others, and
ask no help for yourself. See that you
are proud. Let your pride be of the
right kind. Be too proud to be lazy
too proud to give up without conquerinq
every difficulty; too proud to wear coat
you cannot afford to buy too proud t.
ue IN company that you cannot keep uE
with expenses too proud to lie, or steal
or cheat; to proud to be stlngy.

ABOUT PUzzLEs.-Many popular puz
zles depend on the ambiguity or double
meaning Of words and phrases Thus
we are told there was man who had SIX
had never seen one of them
we are led to suppose that none of the
had ever been beheld by their
parents; but he words may mean equally
as well that one of them had been born
Whlle the man was on a journey, and hc
had, consequently never seen that one.
Another puzzle is thls:-There was a
poor blind beggar who had q brother,
tue brother died, bu5 the man who died
had no brother We are apt to Think the
beggar was man but when we think
that the beggar might be girl, the
answer becomes quite plain.
We are told OF two men who met each
other at an inn, and greeted each other
attectlonately. The hotel keeper inquired
of one how he was related to the other,
who replied: r..
Brother and sister have none,
Yet this mans father was my fathers SON."
This is perfectly plain statement, and
yet there are few whose minds are clear
enough to see at once that this ngle OF
words is only roundabout way OF
saying that this man was the speakers
son.

The new president, on being conducted to the
chair, addressed the convention in brief re-
marks, extending his thanks for the honor.
A lesson was then given by Miss Emma j.
Houghton of Worcester, to a class of pupils on
color, which was very well received, as it de-
served.
Prof G. o. Thompson, of thei Free Institute of
Industrial Science, Worcester was next intro
duced and favored the convention with very
instructive explanation of his method of teach
ing algebra and drawing, and was listened to
with great attention and interest. He recon-
mended that no text books be used in algebra.
He gave favorable notice of Prof Gladwin's pro-
posed lessons in drawing.
Prof l.. B. Munroe of Boston followed with
some very entertaining lessons in elocution,
after which class exercise in arithmetic was
given by f. W. Eveleth OF Fitchburg. He illus
trated his plan by the two subjects of custom
house business and interest, to show how it
works. Discussion of the plan followed, in
which Mr.. Foster of Worcester complimented it
very highly. Rev. Mr., pemarest of Milford
spoke in reference to the opening religious excr-
cises in the school, how they were and how they
ought to be conducted.
Mr.. Comins of Worcester, in behalf of the
committee on resolutions, reported the follow
ing, which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that the citizens of Fichburg for their
generous hospitality in entertaining the ladies of
the association, and for the free of their town
hail. and the landlords Of the various hotels for their
liberal discounts from their regular charges have
merited more than this expression of gratitude
Resolved that the teachers of Fitchburg have
done their part nobly in the active interest they
have taken in these meetings.
Resolved that the various lecturers who have
contributed to the pleasure and comfort of this Oc-
casiOn, have our hearty thanks.
Resolved, that, for his strenuous efforts TO make
this meeting pleasant and comfortable one, Mr..
Marble is deserving of an expression of our appre-
citation of his labors.
Resolved that we are again under obligations to
the various railroad companies for their kindness
and liberality.
Resolved that our thanks are especially due to
the children and their instructors for the interest
they have added to the occasion by singing and
other exercises.
Appropriate remarks responsive to the resou-
tons were made by Mr.. Marble, in behalf of the
association, expressive of the pleasure enjoyed
on the occasion, and by Mr.. Alfred Miller of
Fitchburg, in behalf of the citizens of that
town.
During the afternoons discussion of Friday,
on the proper methods of teaching history, some
very excellent suggestions were made by Messrs.
II. M. Harrington and Q. @. Foster of this city,
and j. IL. Hunt of Clinton.
The convention adjourned Saturday noon,
after an unusually full and interesting session
of teachers from all sections of the county,
Worcester in particular being very largely rep
resented on both days.
