For Tbir,v Yenr. q Teacher.


Such was the brief and suggestive epitaph
appended to the notice Of death of an expe-
rienced and faithful teacher in the public
schools of Portland in one of the city dailies, a
few days since. And what train of memories
does such an expression call up Thirty years
of faithful toilsome service! about nine thou
sand days spent in teaching the youth of the
city. Through summers heat and winters
cold, through vernialiwinds andHautumnal rains
she travelled to the school house. All those
who have experienced the life and toll of a
school teacher will readily understand how
much is signifed by the expression above.
What self-denying, close confirming toll dealing
with the bright and the dull, pleased so little by
the small number, comparatively of the good,
well behaved and mentally acute; and depress-
ed SO much by the low. ignorant and i'll bred.
How many occasions, social and pleasant have
had to be foregone during those years. How
much yexation and care have been suffered in
different ways and yet some satisfaction has
been realized when those she had taught had
! come up worthy and respected men and women
doing their life work faithfully; and the
thought was suggested to her that she had
given them their first educational start in life;
Are they successful business men? She had
taught them their first rudimentary lessons in
simple mathametcs, the practical application
of which, have made them the wealthy men
they are. Are they worthy respected women
now happy mothers of dutiful children? She
had taken pleasure in teaching them. And are
there not now some teachers among us who
were first taught by the departed, and who are
now teaching by the aids and facilities OF our
modern progressive modes, so superior to those
employed by teachers when she herself was
| educated.
What comforts and Improvements too, she
had witnessed in school rooms during the half
century in which she was learner and teacher.
The low studded, i'll ventilated, inconvenient
seated rooms of forty years ago, have given
place to the pleasant, well ventilated commo-
dious, furnace-heated apartments of the pres
ent day.
How many, too, of Mrs. Cumpston's schol-
airs have fallen by the way. No doubt large
number in that length of time And now the
teacher and the taught have fulfilled the labor
of their lives and gone to that better land, -
where the fruiton of all earth's teaching is to
be enjoyed, where no teacher is needed but
where the great object of earthly education
blossoms out into glad reality, a full develop
ment of all our intellectual and moral faculties.

INJURED INNoCENCE.-The Greeley organs
are playing the indignant over the Fitzpatrick
paragraph which the Times republished from
one Of its exchanges. This is enough to make
a horse laugh. For the last three or four years,
every time Fitzpatrick made his appearance
in public, the World and Sun plastered him
from head to foot with charges even more bis
tering-' the associate of abandoned women"
''the vile creature" disgrace to the country"
&C. For three or four years the doughty Gen
eral submitted to charges that no man of honor
would quietly endure, and never thought until
this time of seeking redress either by the code
of honor or by civil or criminal law. Will this
harlequin General, this political mountebank,
inform the public why he has permitted these
windy General of the opinion that nobody pays
any attention to the libels of the World and
Sun ? What other explanation can the injured
Fitzpatrick give? Our neighbor OF the Times
need not give itself any Observation-Disclosures
will never bring that libel suit to trial-N. Y
