Teaching, n Pleasant Occs.pI-
ten.
When / say that teaching is a pleasant
occupation, l do not mean that it would
be such to all. Every one has naturally
the power to excel IN some one thing.
What would be agreeable and pleasant to
one, would be distasteful and tiresome to
another.
Many occupy the position of teacher
who have no real love for the work.
Many who pursue it simply for the pay;
this being the great object of all their
labors. Such will never find teaching to
be a pleasant enjoyment; because their
heart is not in the work. | would advise
all such:teachers to"make haste and delay
not' to leave the school-room and to en-
gage in some business more copgenial to
their tastes.
The true teacher will ever find teaching
to be a delightful task, and will take as
much real pleasure in his occupation as if
be was engaged in what the world might
call a digger business" The society of
fresh and innocent children is in itself a
source of pleasure, and there is ga mystic
rious charm colored with thought of res
possibility, in opening to young minds the
outer doors of acknowledge truth and expan-
sion." This charm weaves its influence
into the..teacher's everyday life, causing
bin to feel that his work is a noble and a
glorious work.
Such teachers take pleasure in observing
the advancement of their pupils. They
see them 60 on "from strength to
strength" day by day, gaining new ideas,
calling all the powers of mind into action,
and steadily but surely advancing in the
path of knowledge !; and in seeing their
hearts are made glad. They ar, not only
permitted to see the growth of minds
around them, but also to feel the growth
of their own. In teaching others they
themselves are taught. In presenting old
truths new truths arc discovered.
Those teachers who at the end of each
term can look back and feel that they
have been faithful; not only help
ing others to progress but making pro-
gress themselves, disI ensing around them
only true, graceful, and beautiful infu-
ences, and teaching by daily and hourly
example only love, simplicity, and truth ;
cannot fail to feel hat they have accom-
plished something, and feeling this, they
can look back into the past with pleasure,
and look forward into the future with
new courage, new strength, and new as
pirations.
The faithful teacher is often permitted
to see his little flock pass out in the wider
fields of hfe's acti.n n, becoming respected
members ofAsociety, "workmen not to be
1t is not the thought that
he was instrumental in forming their
characters, enough to repay him for his
long years of toll and anxiety.
Let, then, all true teachers take cour-
age and look on the bright side of school
life and endeavor to make their school
rooms pheasant places" places of inter-
est to themselves and to their pupils:
doing this they will go or progressing in
the art of teaching, gaining each day new
skill in molding minds and forming char
acter, and leaving impressions upon young

SENSIBLE VIEW OF SENSI-
BILE MEN.

In conversation with a gentleman the
other day, who served in the Confederate
army and was in the surrender at Eicks-
burg, We asked him his opinion of Horace
Greeley.
81 have no earthly use for him." he re-
piled.
You will support him, will ycu not?'
..By no means, 1 too we'll remember
Grants capture at Vicksburg, and when 1
was half-nakcd and half-starved he sup
piled my wants, and / shall remember
that kindness at the ballot-box. Greeley
always advocated everything l opposed.
and if President Grant is expressing the
South, he is executing as a sworn officer,
the laws that Horace Greeley and the abb
clifton radicals have enacted. l don't
take any of old "White Hat" in mine,
not much, let him be nominated ever SO
many times"
Still another-We heard recently an
officer, of considerable rank in the Con-
federate service, most emphatically sware
he would not support Horace Greeley and
gave these as his reasons. Greeley was
m original abolitionist had pursued the
unrclenting aggressions against the South
for the last forty years, until his policy
had eliminated in the destruction of
slavery and the prostitution and humilia-
ton of the Southern people. Greeley
was laying this magazine when Grant was
a mere boy, Grant went into the army
and fought like a soldier, and it was Gree
leg and his followers that did all The
decilment in Congress. Grant had cap
turcd him at Vicksburg and treated him
like a man. Notwithstanding Grant had
positive order from the war department,
rs it was then understood, to send his cap
tives to Northern prisons. they were pa
rolled and sent into the Confederate lines.
All the released men expressed the warm
est gratitude to President Grant then and
noan, and would support him. He ex-
pressed a sanguine belief that nine-tenths
of the rebels would vote for Grant in No
vember if the Baltimore Convention did
not make a nomination. And so it is.
This "any body to beat Grant cry will
o play.

EDITORS HERALD AND TRIBUNE
AS the time is approaching when the
dull monotory of orr every day life is to
be broken by the annual picnic establish
ed by the Rev. III. c. Atwater, 1 gladly
avail myself of this opportunity to an
nounc the same, and to extend through
your worthy columns a cordial invitation
to all Sunday Schools, both far and near,
who may wish to participate in the fes-
~tivities of the occasion. The picnic is to
be held on the fourth of July next, the
grounds are not yet designated. After
the 1uXuriant feasting, and the volup-
tuous enjoyments of the day are over. the
young ladies and gentlemen are to assem-
bic at night on the elegant Croquet
grounds in Mr.. Atwater's yard, and there
to indulge in all the felicitous enjoy
ments of that popular and interesting
game. The grounds arc to be illumina-
ted by brilliant pyrotechnics appropri-
ate to the occasion. This picnic has been
established in commemoration of the stir
ring and thrilling events which occurred
on the 4th of July ,1776-that ever memoir
able day when the star of American liber-
ty, emerging from sullen gloom and cim-
meriaE darkness, rose Respondent over
the last ruins of oppression, shooting its
beams ofglory all over the land of1iberty,
terminating the expiring hopes and re-
storing the patriotic valor of our illus
triOus ancestors, who plunged into the
''dust and blood'' of the revolutionary
struggle, to burst asunder the letters and
shackles of British tyranny, and to throw
off the disgraceful yoke of colonial vas
salage.
i fear, that with the greater part of the
American people, this immortal birthday
of our freedom is gradually relapsing into
disrepute. Wealth and luxury, are creep
ing into the very heart of American pa
triotism, and feasting like voracious vul-
lures OH the vitals of American liberty.
Let us arouse ourselves from the ignomin-
ious lethargy into which W. have fallen
and resume our former vigilance i'll the
preservation of our independence and
privileges, and once more stand as praise
worthy sentinels on the, now yacillating
bulwarks of our Union, declaring to the
old world that our death and destiny
shall be far more glorious than that of the
Inflated race of Montezuma. five perish
in our present slothfuIlness ruin disastrous
ruin will be the inevitable result. Some
Alarie or Attilla ; some Brenus or Gem
seric, with their barbaric herdes will in
wade this land of freedom, and with sac
religious hands despoil and deseerate the
fair temple of liberty, festOoned with the
garlands and trophies of our imperishable
glory. Let us reverse our course, and
pursue the path of progress improvement
and glory. 1.-The Star-spangled banner,

IIolstom College school.

EDIToRs HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
The closing exercises of Holston
College School occurred on Thursday and
Friday, June, 9th and 9TH. They were
pleasant and very gratifying. The school
had been graded carefully, and had uni
formity of books during the entire year.
The great advantages of a classified school
we're apparent. Four classes we're ex-
mined in reading. The care, thorough
ness, and accuracy with which they Lad
been taught, were very evident. The
class in the Second Reader had made re-
markable progress, they read finely. The
Fourth Reader class, their age and all con-
sidered. would be with difficulty excelled
in any school. All the reading classes
were excellent. The classes in Grammar
were very ready. prompt ana accurate in
their answers and all the exercises. The
writer did not hear the Geography classes
but learned that this examination gave
much pleasure and satisfaction to those
who heard it.
Glasses were examined in intellectual
Arithmetic which had been thoroughly
drilled. Written Arithmetic had also
been taught with evident care and success.
Spelling classes, good, one lass missed
more words than ordinarily. This will
sometimes happen at an examination.
Writing had been regularly practiecd and
good progress. made by most of the
school.
The class in Caesar translated very read
lily and accurately, parsing in the same
manner. There were classes in the
school in Philosophy, Rhetoric and AL
zebra.
The closing exercises were on Friday
evening, and though designed to be only
the ordinary weekly exercises they were
very entertaining and pleasing to the spec
tators.
Remarks were made referring to the
good moral influence exerted upon the
school and thanking the teachers for the
same.
The monthly report of each scholar
showed a high average of attainment in
the various classes during the year. The
department of many was nearly perfect.
Upon the whole the people of New Mar
ket have good reason for satisfaction and
pride in their efficient system of graded
so successfully inaugurated the
part two years. Prof. r. Pierce has been
very efficiently seconded, in this work by

amid the darkness and doubts of that
hour of slaveholding ascendancy and
aggression, had assembled in national con-

full conference, the highest of resolve they
could reach, and the most they dared to
recommend. Was an avowed purpose to
prohibit the existence of slavery in the
territories. Last week the same party
