consistent with the foregoing. He has a
disposition to order folks around as tho

tone of voice a lack of JUNCTION in read

appearance and demeanor varying from
the grotesque imitation of a boy to the
grotesque imitation of a philosopher
But 1t is needless to pursue the analysis.
These peculiarities are proverbial as
teachers peculiarities. But they mark
the absence, rather, of the true teacher.
They have come to characterize teachers
as a class, because to so many who bear
this name. teaching is only an occupation.
The calling suffers in reputation from the
~prepondering influence of those to whom
it is merely a make-shift, a stepping-stone
to something else, a temporary employ
ment which unfortunately too often be-
comes a permanent employment. The
few to whom teaching is a vocation, and
who are striving in an unorpaDized wav 70
raise 1t to the rank of a profession, are
outnumbered and overborne by those who,
though they prate of the dignity of the
work, do little else than degrade the
workmen in the public estimation.

..Teaohers' PecuIsarities."

Between q mere occupation and a vo-
cation there is an essential difference. In
the former. a person is kept drudging for
ter, he busies himself not only for a live
lihood, but also for love of the work.
Primarily a mans tastes determine
whether or not an employment is to him
a vocation. And according as it is q voca-
ton or only an occupation, so will be the
peculiarities which the employment will
stamp upon him.
If the employment be o vocation, the
observer will be sure to find in the work
er an expression and demeanor indictive
of ~largeness, benevolence, liberality, and
the spirit of general as well as special in
quiry. We know a grainer whose gent
us makes the granting of wood his voca-
ton. He is led to enquire into various
sciences, because the general principles of
his art link in with all sciences, and
from the standpoint of his own intuitions,
learning, and experience in granting, he is
ready to give his opinion of genius in mu-
sic, painting, sculpture, poetry and arts.
And all this w see in the light and mod
esty and goodwill and force of his ex-
preston. Many ofhis brethren of the
paint-brush, we fear, bear a very different
expression.
The same holds with respect to all en-
Payments, teaching among the rest
One of the proofs to our mind that teach
ing is a scjeLce-though in general a SCI
ence amazingly unstated-is that we find
among tea cheers some whose talk is like
the grainer's, and whose expression. like
his, has in it light and modesty and good
will and force.
Nine out Of ten such are, like the grain
err, working scientifically. The tenth is
drudging with a dissatisfied look among
his brother d~rudges, who are teaching
solely for their bread and butter, and who
do not rise in the profession above the
level of a. mere unscientiic employment.
Like the grainer's drudging brethren,
these peculiarities which their drudgery
stamps upon them.
Schoolmaster-ish and schoolma'am-ish
are cpithets which readily explain them
to the popular a%pprehensi, n.

THE COMMON SCHOOL.

The arguments against Common Schools
may be stated as follows:
l.. They are not designed to teach the
children good manners, love of home, or
of country, for these things may be learn
ed around the ~hearthstone.
2. They are not calculated to give the
children a general idea of morality and
religion since the Sunday School claims to
do this.
3. They do not teach the eatechism or
church doctrine, for the church itself is re-
sponsible for this work.
4. Theology in its higher branches is
taught in Theological Summaries, and on.
ly those desiring such knowledge expect
to attend-such knowledge cannot be
made general, therefore cannot be i'm
parted In Common Schools.
5. The kind of information not provid-
ed for from any of the above sources may
be obtained in family or private schools,
where children are freer from evil associ-
alton and influences, and which may be
maintained at a less cost than a system of
Common Schools
HERE THE DEFENSE.
1. The Common School facilitates home
government.
2. Intelligence precedes mortality and
religion. Common Schools are the foun-
tain of intelligence for the masses, there
fore they must underlie the Sunday
School.
8. The church without intelligence is a
nullity.
4. Of what advantage are Theological
Summaries, or all knowledge of theology.
when ouly the few have such knowledge
and the world lieth in ignorance?
3. Family schools cannot take the place
of Common Schools since the heads of
many families are illiterate. Private
schools are not free, and the poor are
thereby shut out.
G. The Common School does what eve
ry other school fails to dot reaches tic

TAX PAYERS

How much do you pay for criminal

criminals than schools?
Is it not better to spend our money in

Washington College.

Since the wara tin roof has been placed
upon the commodious ediice, lending it a
tasty and imposing appearance. Other re-
pairs have been lately made by the friends
of the Institution which enhance its at
fractions and comfort. The Church close
by, bearing the venerated name of Old
Salem, has also been much improved by
recent arrangements. The design and
finish of these improvements, with no
other pretentions than those of neatness
and proper display relieves this temple of
God, associated intimately with the tradi-
tons, struggles and triumphs of Presby-
t%erianis1n, of its air of primitive architec-
ture. A eommodious session room has
also been joined to the Church building.

Like Lazarus Of Old.

In the Tennessee Gubernatorial Canvass
of 1854. an incident transpired at the
voting place of the 3rd District that ought
not to be lost.
In McAlister's precinct, the Wings and
Democrats were about equally devided
at that time. 1t so happened that on this
election day, a goodly number of Wings
went to other precincts. and agreat many
outside Democrats came to McAlister's.
On the counting of the polls, the majority
was largely democratic. This result
greatly elated an old man, who was a
Democrat, and in exulting over the re-
he asked a Wing how he felt since
had been licked so. The reply was like

THIS Institution is situated on the east
J. ern brow of Lookout Mountain, about
FIVE miles from Chattanooga. The loca-
ton is beautiful, heathful, accessible, and
yet sufficiently isolated to secure the stu
dent from the mental and moral distrac-
tions of a large town. 1t was founded in
1866, by aretired, christian merchant Of
New York, with the aim of making provi-
sion for the thorough education of the
youth of both sexes. under the best teach
ers. and at moderate expense. 1t is en-
tirely free from political and sectarian in
huence or control, while seeking to prepare
its pupils for honorable, useful citizenship,
and to impress upon them constantly the
necessity and value of personal religion.
1t gives instruction in the common and
higher English branches, in the Classics,
in Music, and in the Science and Art OF
Teaching.
There are two sessions, each of twenty
weeks, beginning on the first Thursday
of February and August.
