Some Points for Young Teachers.

Do not assign lesson for young pupils
to prepare in half an hour which, to pre-
pare yourself upon so as to hear it with
out book. would require two hours.
Have common sense enough not to ex-
pect your pupils to be more thorough in
the lesson without book than you are
with the book.
Be just enough not to use book at a
recitation when you do not permit the pu-
pills to do so. 4
Have definite, fixed length of time for
your recitations. and never overreach it.
If you are forgetful, make pupil in
your class monitor, to tell you when to
stop the lesson in time to hear the review,
or give the preparatory drill.
Introduce every recitation by review
ing briefly the preceding lesson.
Conduct the recitation with view to
having the pupils realize the few points
involved.
Take time, before excusing the class,
to recapitulate points made.
Just before assigning the next lesson,
give preparatory drills on the coming
hard points.
Be sure that the whole lesson has test
ed the reasoning po,0er, not the memory
of your pupils. - University Monthly.

To BE or Not TO Be.

The following conversation between q
young lady who wrote for magazines and
an old gentleman who believed he could
speak English, occurred somewhere in
Massachusetts,, and is quoted for the bene'
fit of grammarians:
Old Gentleman-"Are there any hous-
es building in your village ?"
Young Lady-'No. Sir. There is q
new house being built for Mr.. Smith, buI
it is the carpenters who are building"
Gentleman-"True; I stand correct
ed. To be building is certainly differ
ent thing from to be being built. And
how long has Mr.. Smiths house been be.
ing built?"
Lady Cooks puzzled moment, and
then answers rather abruptly.) Nearly
a year."
Gentleman-"How much longer do you
think it will be being built ?"
Lady (explosively.) Don't know
Gentleman-''Ish should think Mr.. Smith
would be annoyed by its being so long
being built, for the house he now occupies
being old, he must leave it, and the new
one being only being built, instead of be-
ing built as he expected he cannot"
Here the gentleman perceived that the
lady had disappeared.

Spurious Syrups.

! Chemistry has got the advantage of the
sugar grower 10 The matter. of manufactur-
ing syrups, and now patronizes the. wheat
and potato raiser. A New Orleans chemist
has found this out. His attention was d..
Erected to substance sold largely by deal
Iers under the name Of sugar drips,. and
afterwards retailed as golden syrup, which
on examination is found to be triumph
of science over nature It does not con-
tain particle of sugar, but is produced
by the destructive action of sulphuric acid
(oil Of vitroD upon starch. He gives the
following as means of determining the
character of a syrup. Dissolve a tea
spoonful of the golden syrup" in wine
glass of rain water then add few grains
of tannic acid, when it will turn as black
as ink if the article is spurious. IF not
convenient to procure, make a cup Of
strong tea (Which, contains tannin( and
add teaspoonful of the golden" and a
fair quantity of ink will appear. The
pure cane syrup will mix,rwithF the fluid
without producing any chemical changes
on the addition of the tannie acid. lAdul-
teration is everywhere and at the rate We
are drifting now. it will not be long, be-
fore it will be impossible to procure any
article in common use in pure state. h-u

The length ming line moves lanquishing along
When great Patroclus courts Achilles aid,
The grateful tribute of my tears is paid

In the same poem she makes a very
pretty and becoming allusion to the Afri,
can birth of the Roman poet Terence:
s'But say, ye Muses., why this partial grace

Such lines as these, if they were writ.
ten by young lady in one of our bes
seminaries. would be considered indicative
of talent. They would certainly show q
sympathetic mind, and that fuency ot
pen, which give promise of future literary
excellence. But here was an African
slave, who never went to school, and, al
though the pet Of the household, was not
exempt from the labors of her station. -
1t is not surprising that she was regarded
in Boston as prodigy. She was for some
years kind Of poetllaureate of the place,
from whose pen verses were expected
when any one of note died or was married,
went abroad or returned home.
At sixteen she. joined the church, and
from this time many of her verses took "a
religious cast, some of them presenting a
curious mixture Of heather and Christian
theology. In 1773., when she was about
nineteen years of age. small collection
of her poems was published in London,
with the following title:
Poems on Various Subjects, Religious
and Moral. By Phillis Wheatley, negro
servant to Mr.. John Wheatley, of Boston
in New England"
1t was thought so incredible that an
African slave girl should write such verses
that certificate declaring that she had
really written them was inserted in the
volume, bearing the signatures of the
Governor and Lieutenant-Governor o.
Massachusetts, John Hancock, and fifteen
other eminent gentlemen of Boston. The
work attracted immediate attention. Soor
after she accompanied member of the
family to London, where she had dis
tinguished reception from the Countess o
Huntington. and the religious bodies il
sympathy with her. Among the present.
which she received in London was cost
ly folio edition of Paradise Lost, which il
now preserved in the library Of Harvard
College. After some months stay il
England, she returned to America, wher
she continued to compose verses upol
passing events. | presume some of he

ter; but there was country to save, Ii
berty to win. and their noble commander
to follow into the heart of fiery battles. I
do not think man went home.
Far away, there was another comman-
der-a fair and true hearted woman. She
marshalled her forces from far and near
only women and girls Into their hands
she placed shining weapons. and, armed
in like manner, she took the van and
cheered them on to battle. That was a
silent and bloodless war but it was VIC
torious one. Ere the winter was half gone,
an enemy was vanquished, for whom no
sword had terrors, and who had never
quailed before the loudest cannon.
One morning the old soldier, (but he
was young then.) standing in front of
George Washington's tent, saw the Gen
eral come to the door and look abroad over
the encampment. Here and there SOL
dier was carrying water to his tent, or
hewing wood to feed the fire that must
roast his scanty breakfast of potatoes but
there was none of that noisy mirth that
soldiers are noted for. All were wan, and
speechless, and despairing.
Suddenly there came 10 sight, just
turning corner of the camp road near
by, three wagons, laden from dashboard
to tailboard. Upon the foremost load, sat
a fair and noble woman, the woman whom
the great commander loved the best in all
the world-his wife. She had come, the
conquerer of the knitting needles, the
queen of stockings!
The young soldier looked at his COM
mander. Ger all that more than kingly
face there was a sudden flush Of JOY and
George Washington lifted up his voice and
laughed aloud
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1872-07-19

ludes to the agonizing scene in her poem
to the Earl of Dartmouth, written during
the excitement preceding the American
Revolution:
'should you, my Lord, while you peruse my
Wonder from whence my love of freedom
sprung,
Whence flow these wishes for the common
good,
By feeling hearts alone best understood
l, young in life, by seeming cruel fate,
Was snatched from Afric's fancied happy seat.
What pangs excruciating must molest,
What sorrows labor in my parents breast
Steeled was that soul, and by no misery moved,
That from a father seized his babe beloved.
Such, such my case and can then but pray,
Others may never feel tyrannic swayf"
There is one more allusion to her being
brought from Africa in her poems, written
about the time of her joining the church :
'"Twas mercy brought me from my pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there's God, and there's Saviour, too,
Once l redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our noble race with scornful eye
Their color is diabolic dye
Remember Christians, negroes black as Cain,
May be refined, and join the angelic train.'
This little girl was placed in refined
and intelligent household when she was
seven or eight years of age Being en-
couraged and taught to read by members
of the family, she made astonishing pro-
gress. Her master declared that, sixteen
months after she had been brought, ''an
uncultivated barbarian. F" from Africa, she
could read the most difficult parts of the
Bible-''to the great astonishment of all
who heard her." She took to writing oil
6er own accord, and seems to have had
no assistance in it; but in three years af-
ter landing in Boston, she could write a
very good letter. There was another hu-
man wonder at the time, Samson Occom
an Indian, who after having taught an
Indian school for ten or eleven years, was
ordained, and made the tour of Great
Britain, preaching there between three
and four hundred sermons One of her
first letters was written to this man. She
also learned Latin enough to make out
easy sentences.
Among the books in her masters house
was copy of Pope's translation of Homer
work which has perhaps delighted and
influenced as many persons as any of the
last century snl a half. It made upon
her mind the deepest impression, and she
appears to have been led on to read trans
lations of Virgil, Terence, Ovid and other
ancient poets. When she began to COM
pose verses. she wrote so much in the
style of Pope. that some of her lines might
really pass for his. Take these as a spe.
cimen:
NWhile Homer paints, 10 circumfus' in air
