THE VOCATION OF A TEACHER.

We have before spoken of the office
Of the educator of human beings, as
the noblest on earth, especially when
those who follow the vocation appre-
ciate the great duties devolved upon
them. When we speak of this calling
as the noblest on earth we write DELHI
erately.
1t is more important than that of
the statesman. The statesman may
set fences around our dwellings and
property, but how much more are we
indebted to the educator who brings
forth all the powers Of the affections
and mind Of those for whom our prop
erty was earned and our dwelliaas
reared, and who renders our children
objects of our love and respect. We
go further, and maintain. that higher
ability is required for the duties of an
educator for the young than that OLA
statesman. The highest ability isRhat
which penetrates deepest into human
nature, and comprehends theTsasd in
all its capacities, which can arouse
the child to the most vigorous action
of all its faculties understand its
perils, and know how to blend and
modify the influences that outward
circumstances exert on the youthful
mind. The speculations Of the states
man are shallow when com pared with
these.
It is the chief function of the states
man to watch the outward interests
of society; that of the educator to
quicken its soM. The Statesmen. must
study to manage the prejudices and
passions of the people. The educator
must stu Y the most essential, the
deepest All loftiest principles of human
nature. The statesman works with
coarse instruments, very; we may say
too, often, for dirty ends; the educator
works by the most refined influences
on that delicate and ethereal essence
the immortal mind. We are aware
that very few teachers have the high |
appreciation of their dignified voca-
lions, but when one can be found, his
worth cannot be estimated in gold.
Very often our truest and most able
young men prefer to follow any other
calling than that of an instructor of
youth, because they do not meet with
he encouragement they deserve. The
as a general thing look
With disfagor upon the vocation of
eacher, and think that any one is fit
o become an instructor of their chill
lren; this is the crying evil that
Iffiicts us with incompetent teachers.

DON'T TELL 1T.

"Itwill so vex Harry when tel

"Yet | am sure, my dear, you have

LUCK is ever waiting for something
to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes
and strong will, will turn up some
thing.
Luck lies in bed and wishes the
postman would bring him news of a
legacy. Labor turns out at six o'clock,
and with. busy pen or ringing hammer,
lays the foundation of competence.
Luck whines. Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chances. Labor
on character.
Luck slips downward to Incidence.
Labor strides upward to independence.
