FAULT-FlNDIN&

This seems to be the name of an under

univeIsality OF its existence would indi-
cate il to be necessary element in the
social structure. Who knows that were
it not for this, the great upper-cusrent
might acquire such velocity as to destroy
its purpose. 1t seems fit IN the constitu-
tion Of things, that there IS a gentle fric-
ton to remind us, that, although the con-
fict of forces is necessary to proportion
ate development, yet there is true Dal>
lance, proper point at which all must
neutralize and flow on distributing the
neuclii of truth to every member, thus
building on . foundation as immortal and
immutable as the Divine Author of the
law which bids US proceed.
But this gentle, neutralizing power of.
&en assumes an abnormal condition, and
crops out in places where its presence is
exceedingly Suggestive of ell winds that
blow no good"
Such is the nature Of much of the OPP
position Manifested towards teachers.
Now we do not wish to defend teachers
against any aspersions that they them
selves entail; but when We see an opposi
tum based upon private piques and ieal-
Gusies,and hear the sound of its ebullitiou

know whether to pity or despise such
empty, self-admiced critics; but we &c
know, that in every laudable avocation oil
life, he who courts popularity and re.
ceives the empty plaudits of society with
out dissenting voice, has lived to but
very little purpose. "Lived to good old
age and died without an enemy" is an
epitaph which should be supplemented
with the words, never contributed any

labor on, and never renounce your allie

New York are said to be preparing for

principal effect of such movement will
be to cripple and paralyze many produc-

worst feature of these strikes is the
threats and violence used by the strikers
against men who are willing to work du-

At last the eventfuI day drew near
Wnen we were to hold eur last teach
er,s meeting-March 18th, 1873.
AL day long the sky had been low
erlng and the prospect for attending
the Association was rather dubious.
In the afternoon the clouds began
to drop in gentleG) rain; the drops
came FLASHING against the window
pane, causing weight to fall upon
tsEour hearts, for now we thought none
OF the teachers would be brave enough
to venture forth in a storm to attend
Teachers Meeting. But, looking
on the bright side, we thought some
way would be provided for us, there
fore we would wait patiently.
The storm kept on; often there
would be lull, but this seemed but a
rest for the storm king to gather bis
strength for renewed efforts. $50 the
sweet hope" was nearly destroyed ;
but when the shadows of the evening
began to grow, the rain ceased, the
clouds broke away, and hope was re-
vlved in our hearts.
About the seventh hour the teach
ers began to assemble, not at No. 5,
as was agreed upon at the last meet
lng' but at another place appointed
afterwards, by mutual consent.

1t was found that our President was
