Water the Stock,

We need scarcely remind our readers
of the imperative necessity of providing
stock with abundance of water at this
season of the year, to which animal can
have access at frequent intervals, if not
all the time. And yet we know that there
is scarcely any necessary duty of farm life
which is neglected with more frequency
than this. Stock of no description can thrive
without ample fupplies of water; and in
the restlessness and suffering occasioned
by a neglect to make suitable provisian in
this respect, the results of the most care
full feeding and the benefits of the richest
pasturage are oftentimes dissipated. Pas
lures should be located where they can
have the benefits of running water or
suitable lakes, for the quality of the water
at this season of the year is a matter of
prime importance. Between a stagnant
pool and no water at all, The former would
be gladly accepted by either man or beast.
But as between stagnant water and pure,
there is little question but the health and
vigor as both man and beast will be better
subserved by the latter. Persons who
think that the contents of any swamp hole
are good enough for their stock commit a
grave mistake. The may drink it and
live, and so may a man, but it tells to a
certain degree upon the physical condition
of both. And during the hot months,
when vegetable decomposition is most
rapid, and when stagnant water is under
going active clientele change. no effort
should be spared to provide stock with
w,tar which is reasonably pure. We
know it will involve considerable labor to
draw water in the ordinary manner, from
a we'll where a large number of animals
are confined in a single enclosure. or to
bring the necessary water from adjacent
streams. But where the matter does not
admit of compromise by driving the stock
to pure water two or three times daily,
we believe it better economy to draw
by hand what water they require, or to
rig a windmill for the purpose, than to
force them to drink from stagnant and
fermentinC pools.

Little Women.

Three little girls were playing among
the peoples and sage-brush of the back
yard, Two of them were "making be-
lieve" kept house, a little way apart, as
near neigh5ors might. At last one was
overheard saying to the youngest of the
lot, "There, now, Nelly. you go over to
Sarah's house and stop there a little
while, and talk as fast as ever you can,
and then you come back and tell me what
she says about me, and her I'll talk
about hr; and then you will 60 and tell
her all L say. and then we'll get as mad
as horn cts and won't speak when We meet.
just as our mothers do, you know; and
thatll be such fun, won't itr" Hadn't
these little nlischiefs lived to some pur-
pose? and were they not close observers
and apt scholars, ch~armingly trained for
the chief business of life IN a small neigh
borhood?

E0sley's Springs.

This Spring, situated heal Johnson's
CjlJ has become q f~avorite resort for In.
veids and those seeking shady retreats
and rural joys. Until quite recently, it
VAS not generally known. The water is
ofa superior quality, Chalybeate slight
y i~mpregnated with sulphur, and con-
tains strong medical virtues which is at
listed by the improved health of the at
tendants and the ferocity with which they
attsck everything eatable that is set before
them. Their gift of consuming continu-
snce at the table, sweeping chicken, ham,
matton. etc, from human sight in a time
ineredibly short, we would think, would
make damaging inroads upon the profits
ct that most gentlemanly and clever OF
proprietors, Mr.. Easley. but he seems will
ing and ever anxious to ''stand the press
ure' and retain them as boardcrs.
The remedial agencies of this spring
h1se more than surpassed the cxpe ct ltions
Of the visitors. The waters gushing in a
bold stream from the base of a p~recipitous
bill and n dense forest e~nv;roning this ia
vored fount of health and a landscape
outlining all surroundings lend to the
place a charm and enchantment that
please and captivate. The spring is visi-
TED daily by large numbers, ample GRO
quet grounds have been laid off and every
opportunity is afforded for enjoying the
conntry in all its glory, freedom and hi
iapity.

NEW Books FROM THE APPLEToNs.
None of the great publishing houses of
this country are sending out new books fas-
ter than the House of d. Appleton & Co,
New York. Among the recent volumes
of special note is fragments of Science
for Unscientifc People," by John Tynd-
all LII. ID. +. R.. s. 1t consists of de-
tached Essays, Lectures and Reviews,
written in a style adapted to the common
mind, this volume is replete with both
interest and scientific instruction.
"Reminiscences of Fifty Years by
Mark Boyd" is the title of another very
interesting book. Mr.. Boyd is an Eng
llshman and his "reminiscences are from
the English stand point. We begin with
the times of Mr.. Pitt and stretch away
from that point Fifty years towards the
present. 1t is a gerry readable book con-
tanning an imme nse variety so that the
attention never flags.
Two beautiful volumes by Miss Younge,
the popular author of the Heir of Rad
clyffe Hearts Ease, entitled The two Guar
dams or Home in the world, an Beech
croft" furnish pleasant reading for sum
mer recreation.
The Marquis and Merchant" by Nor
timer Collins is the title of one of Apple
tons recent and best Novels. Read it.
"Vivia," a modern story by Flarence
Milford, is another just as good.

Recreation for Teachers.

Each occupation has its dangers for the
one who gives all his energies to his work.
The tendency to become one-sided, and to
degenerate into a machine destined for a
special purpose, no occupation is entirely
difference in this respect. Everybody
who has read Charles Reade's novels re-
members how Sheffield knife grinders look
and act after their trade has cramped
them for a hundred generations. The
reaction of employment upon character is
recognized in the statute that prevents a
butcher from serving oa a jury in a MUIR
der case. In Dante's Inferno we have
everywhere portrayed the cramping limits
of individuality which have been brought
on by habitual acts in life. Mans deed
to himself, i. e. he Is self-determined.
This is the pre-supposition lying at the
bottom of all codes of justice and of all
morality and religion. The difference con-
sists in the more or less explicit recogni-
ton of this pre-supposition.
Applying this principle to the profess
sion of the teacher, We find ample cause
for counselling recreation and an abundance
of it, for teachers. During the school
year, the teacher is subjected to a perpet-
ual tension of his energies in n direc-
ton. He is placed over against immature
humanity, children full of caprice and
arbitrariness, full of ignorance and the
tendency to yield to the immediate promp-
tings of animal instincts. He must res
train, hold back, and repress these imme-
date impulses, and substitute for them
the habits of acting according to the broad
forms and conventionalitics of rational
existence. Exerting all his vigilance, all
his self-control, he applies a firm, steady
pressure to the material under his con-
troll, and moulds it into form. But the
strain acts injuriously on him, and unless
he counteracts it by powerful remedies he
loses his elasticity, and with it, his balance
of character. He becomes arbitrary and
capricious, and full of idiosyncrasies not
very different from those he essays to cor
rectin his pupils. After his elasticity is
gone, and stiffness and crabbedness have
taken its place. his demeanor among men
mark him out as a ~''pedagogue" in the
odious sense of that term.
The remedy for such evils consists rath-
err in timely prevention than in any specific
cure. Recreation should by all means be
sought by the teacher. 1t should be daily
recreation. Society has recognized the
importance of this by breaking up the
shool-year by vacations OF sufficient length
to relax both teacher and pupil. S o that
the former may regain his upright position

CHARLES DICKENS WoRKs.-Pub-
fishers of late seem to We with each other
to see which will issue the most popular
edition of Dickens Works. Quite a vari-
ETY. is already before the public. For a
popular edition to combine beauty and
cheapness the last is likely to produce the
best. 1t is to be published by D. Apple
ton & Co. New York. Only one volume,
the first of the series, "Pickwick Papers"
has reached US. 1t is a neat and beauti-
full duodecimo. of 326 pages, bound in
brown cloth, handsomely stamped, with
several illustrations. This is called the
Handy Volume" edition. 1t is to be
complete in fourteen volumes, at rs cts.
each.

and the latter heal up any tendencies to
break from too sudden bending.
But the practical question is after all
how to use properly these vaeations-how
to recreate effectively. The Importance
of bodily exercise and fresh air, change of
scenery, &C., 1t is not necessary to mention.
| will speak of a far more important item /:
the recreation of the mind.
The teacher should every day while
his school lasts resort to his mental bath
in the fountains of genius. The perennial
springs of Shakespeare, Gothic, Dante, Plato,
and Aristotle, will recreate him afresh
for his labors and no other recreation is
like these. He finds himself cured of his
cramps both natural and acquired, so that
he remoulds his own character like new
material even while performing the same
Office for bis pupils. Daily and weekly as
he climbs up the steep sides of the eternal
mountains, he loses sight of the lowly vale
and the school house there situated, and
he comes back refreshed by the mountain
air and the open prospect. Intercourse
with genius frees all minds from narrow
special limitations. and above all this Is
the very best medicine for the teacher.
Especially the poets should be recommended,
for they best relieve the tension of the
will. Study of the great philosophers re-
lieves the mind of the pedagogical dogma
tism it is so prone to fail into. Thus each
day should have its vacation; and the
long summer vacation should furnish occa-
SION for still longer journeys into the
of genius, and for quiet repose
amid the healing influences of family and
social life.

Horse Thief.

Last week a company of men from
North Carolina, passed through this place
in search of the thief and a horse and
mule which he had stolen from Mr.. ID.
M. Brawley, Statesville, Iredcll County,
in that State. The pursuers tracked the
thief to within four miles of Union De-
pot, where he sold the mule to a Mr..
Smith for which he executed his note on
thirty days time. MIR. Smith gave up
the mule to the claimants and they came
on to Jonesboao. tracing the %scoundrel to
within three miles of this place, where
they '.lost the trail" He showed his
adroitness in changing his name seven
times in a distance of fifty miles after
crossing the Tennessee line. A suspi-
cious individual, believed to be the same
william was over hauled as a counterfeiter
in johnson County, a short time before he
was seen in this ~neigh5orhood, but was
acquitted on trial. He is described as a
man of average size, wears a broad brim-
med beaver hat and has, in his possession,
an extraordinarily large sized pair of sad
dle-rockets. When he was arrested he
was coming in this direction with a horse
and mule corresponding to those stolen
in North Carolina.

A nice Arrangement.

The Knoxville Bible Society have fall
en- upon an ingenious and successful plan
of disseminating religious truths. Every
passenger car on the East Tenn. Va. and
Ga. Rail Road is supplied with Bibles
and religious books. Between the seats
fasteners are nailed to the side of the
car, each containing a book. The travel
er experiences a kind of weary lonelin ess,
especially in the company of strangers
and passing through strange scenes. and
this thoughtful provision furnishes him
with the means of spending the other
wise tiresomc hours with interest and of
ten with profit.

Scholastic Politics.

The Public School is not only of use as
a means of general enlightenment and a
preventive OF crime, but, viewed in other
political aspects, may justly claim to be
superior in value to any other agent in the
service of the Union. In an address de-
livered at the Cooper Institute, Henry
Ward Beecher declared, that
"The Common School was one of the
great engines by which the brotherhood
feeling of society was maintained. 1t was
fair that a man should rise as high as he
could, but, if a rich man were stupid he
should be allowed to sink to the bottom
should find his own level. The boys of
the lawyer or the doctor, or even of the
minister, were not too good to sit side by
side with the child of the washer-woman.
Put the whole population through the
Common School, and we should have a
universal feeling of brotherhood among us"
The civilizing and humanizing influences
that public schools shed up;n our com
munity are the best warrants we nave for
the duration of our Republic. A monarchy
or an aristocracy may, but n true democ-
racy cannot long exist without general edu-
cation. But there is another view to be
taken of this grave subject, it is, that, to
u public schools We are indebted for
that unity of language which distin-
cuisines us among the great nations of the
world. In a half century they have done
more to effect this grand result foI us than
the government of England has been able
to accomplish for its people in eight hum
drcd years of almost uninterrupted sway.
To the Christian who remembers that
divers languages are traceable to the direct
curse of the Deity. it is not too much to
add, that to the influence and action of our
public schools in this particular, we are
indebted for a e hope worthy of a new
world.
