True Friendship.

Our best friends are not those who are
most willing to loan us money, to give US
presents, or to placatc Us with praises OF
our virtues and abilities. All these may
proceed from interested motives, and such
motives are rarely or never the foundation
OF a wholesome and lasting friendship.
In these selfish days, when romance. af-
fectation and reverence have little, and
thirst for wealth so much to do with mans
actions, and when persons are on the look
ont fer themselves and careless of the claims
of others, there is little old-fashiond stead
fast friendship to, be N ct with. The name
survives, but the substance has vanished.
Men have their political friends, their
business friends and friends whom they
can apply. to for an endorsement ofa note
in bank. But the relation invokesno ten
del. and genial intimacy, and may be-
broken by any accident Of politics or bus
mess. The truth is, that good friend,
next to good wife, is the rarest treasure
man can have on earth. His friendship
is not a subject of bargain and sale, nor
the result of interchanges of favors. 1t
springs from pure and disinterested afec-
tioR it is more ready to grant favors and
and make sacrifices than to accept them.
1t rejoices without ostentation and with
out hypocrisy Ia our good fortune it never
envies our successes when pretending to
us on them it afflicted by our
adversities /; it shares our griefs. and SYM
pathizes~ with us in our hopes aud bereave-
ments. 1T deplores and reproyes our
faults. and rarely speaks to us Of our vir-
tues it is beside our bed in sickness, and
is not absent in times of danger and
distress. The society of those who have
such friendship as this for each other is
comfort and delight; the communion be-
tween them is a sweet flow of confidence,
by unworthy schemes of self-in-
terest. One true, good friend like this is
all man needs, and more than most men
possess sr

During the recent visit of Rev DIR. 1de

more, who were living like the individual

its climax, and tbrowinn himself in most
imposing attitude, and putting on face

the thousands of tubes in the stem of the

subterranean channels to the sea.

Fate OF Vice-Presidents.

Senator Cameron declines being smoth-
cred with the Vice-Presidency.i lie has,
we presume, studied the history of that
Office, and noted that it was fatal to almost
every man who has held it. John Adams
was our first President, and he
couldn't effect a reelection to the Presi-
dency Col Burr was ruined merely by
running for the Office, as that placed him
in false position toward Mr.. Jefferson,
from the consequences of which he could
never rise. George Clinton became Vice
President, and never could become any
thing else, dying in the Office and SO it
was with Elbridge Gerry. Gov. Tomp-
kins was expended in the place. Mr.
Calhoun then took the Vice-Presidcncy,
being the most popular man in the coun-
try; but he came to grief on the largest
scale, and made complete sbipwreck of
his fortunes. Mr.. Van Buren, was his
successor, and what q pounding he got III
IS4Oi Mr.. Tyler entered the Vice
Presidency as popular man as you could
wish to see. and in four years he was as
badly off as Louis Nap is at this time =
Mr.. Dallas managed to survive his cleo
ton to the second office, but he never got
any higher In the political world, though
he kept his ground in diplomacy. Col
johnson never was asanything after he bo-
came Vice-President. Mr.. Fillmore be-
came bad edition of Mr.. Tyler, without
revision or correction and Mr.. Wm.a X.
King, who therefore bad been regarded
as miracle of good fortune, died in a few
months after his fall into the Vice Preesi
Dental chair. Mr.. Breckinridge became
a rebel, runaway, refugee. and a
dweller in Canada. and had to accept par
don from Andrew johnson. 1t adds to
ones respect for Mr.. Hamlin, that be is
almost the sole survivor of the Vice-Presi-
dents. being none the worse for having
held the second American place. ANDREW
Johnson's melancholy fatc.is fresh in the
minds eye Of an unsynpathizing world.
And now Mr.. Colfax IS forced to fy to re-
tirement to get rid of tho evils that kelong
to the Office. The only man that ever
held the Presidency without Being
foored (Mr. Hamlin excepted) was Mr.
Jefferson. Ifapy American gentleman

How shah speIIing BE wausht,

meaning of what they spellany more than
ifthe words were Latin, Greek. or Choc.

EXERCISES. in single day, some classes
spelling as often as four times a day =
And among those who are the most glib
in spelling these '.lcssons,' you viii often
find the very poorest photographers when
they undertake to write letter, copy a
song or pen composition.
Therefore it is a very good plan to have
pupils write exercises, two or three times
week-some song or poem written from
memory, paragraph read from some
book, by the teacher, or their Geography
or Grammar lessnos; and then these writ
ten exercises corrected by the teacher,
and where time allows the reasons why
such and such words are so spelled should
be given.
School Teaching is. one of the most i'm
portant professions there is. In fact the

the school room, and therefore we should
select the very wisest, best, and most
practical teachers we can get; those whose

progress by the very hest means possible,

Let them early learn to define as they
spell. Next to spelling comes defining

learned until the child has had every hard
word explained, and thus come to know
what it is spelling. A short lesson thus
learned and spelled is worth whole pages

wha, We Are.

. We are, not what we really are. In
most cases, we have tendency to suppose
ourselves a great deal better than others.
We seem to forget that mortals are imper-
feet beings. M
Vanity has much to do in shaping our
actions in life for we all follow "hopes as
vain, pursuits as wild as does the mind Of
any child"
It-is a great mask of weakness, for a
person to try to be somebody else. But
we are initiative beings, and are very apt
to form our manners and habits from per-
sons and things by which We are surrounded.
From the habits we form In youths

years to be rewarded with their legitimate
results, a plentiful harvest, or disappoint-

Creator have fixed US in a higher scale

But how many Of US neglect the noble
faculties which God has given us; VIC
