silently, the heart-beats may be heard, but
they must be listened for; the rivulei
babbles, but the Mississippi marches on
majestic to the sea, and bearson its bosom
the m of a nation.
Says one Words were invented to
conceal our thoughts; and is it too often
the case in schools. Then, O teacher,
don't talk to your pupils on any subject
till you AVE thought it out clearly for
yourself and have put it In the simplest
form and, above all, do not cover the idea
with words. Make your pupils talk to
you; make them explain to you show
them their difficulties by adroit question
ing, and lead them up to make the dis
covery Of principles and of demonstrations
for themselves. A principle discovered
for ones self becomes a part of ones
being, while one simply told by another is
like the water gliding on cheap china, the
first hard rub takes it off.
We once visited two schools standing
side by side. In the one all was quiet
ne loud talking, no lecturing, but the
whole room was pervaded with life and
work. In the other, teacher was wearing
herself and her pupils out by her constant
talk and laborious eeorts: and yet there
was not SO much real life In her school as
in the other. The one drew out, the other
poured in; and "a little reflection would
have taught her that i. needed not the rush
and roar of Niagara to ill a pint cup
The one could teach without breaking
down, the other in a few years would be
compelled to leave the profession.
We would apply this especially to the
so.called object lesson. 1t is of little value
unless the pupil does the work. and not
the teacher.-Linois Teacher.

LINCOLN AND GRANT.

When Lincoln was President, he wa:
continually harrassed by impatient would
be advisers, who were dissatisfied with
the slow movement of the Federal armies.
ION to Richmond was their constant cry.
This impatience finally grew into grave
charges Of in~competency and imbecility.
They asserted that he lacked the sagacity
to comprehend the situation, and the
moral courage to enforce the of
the Union against the Richmond govern
ment. They propheeied that all would
be lost through the ignorancc and inabili-
ty of the "backwood's President as they
delighted to call him. Soon dissatisfac-
tion was emboldened to an attempt to de-
feat his denomination. But the successes
of Lincoln, amid all the exigencies and
excitements of o terrible war, were SO
signal and brilliant that he had become
the popular pride and idol, and the people

our National affairs. Despite all these
multiplying accusations, the President
has gone boldly forward in the discharge
of his immense duties, introducing and
enforcing needed reforms, correcting long
standing abuses, constantly reducing the
war debt, adjusting our differences with
other powers and establishing relations of
permanent friendship and amity with all
the world. Still the %revilers and enemies
