Too Much Learning.

Mr.. Barnum has several elephants
in training for his travelling show.
They are taught to dance the rope,
turn the organ, stand on their heads,
and perform various ofeats. One of
these elephants died yesterday. The
news was sent to Mr.. Barnum, writ
ten on the back of a card, by one of
the assistant trainers, and read as
follows:
''Mr. Barnum, one of the ellfants is ded He dyed
of enformation of the brane. SAM SLOCUM."
'That's all right, said Barnum, on
reading the letter. "We must not
teach elephants SO much. They can't
stand high degree of education.

of 'enformation on the brane' has cost

will Exhibitions Pay?

As the "vexed question" (music)
seems TO need little rest, we will
venture to throw out few remarks
on the above named subject, rather
by way of opening up the way for
others.
Lately an experienced teacher ask
ed us what benefit there was in saying
pieces? These enot his exact words,
but the substance. In order to take
in more ground, we will put the ques-
ton in this way; VIII Exhibitions
pay?
A certain amount of physical exer-
else is necessary to the promotion of
good health, SO is it formental health
and as the blacksmith's arm strength
ems by continual use, so may we ex-
pect the memory to enlarge its power
by exercise. Every piece committed
increases the power to commit. The
most we know, we obtain from others,
and retain for our own use, by the
power of memory. Many persons,
with very limited thinking powers,
are enabled to pass for great men,
owing entirely to their retentive mem
ories.
Besides the benefit derived in this
way, it is ofttimes verypleasant to be
enabled to repeat a fine poem. A
friend once told US of hearing a gen
tleman repeat all of Longfellow's
''Hiawatha, after having read it only
once.
To what extent memorizing may be
carried with profit, must be determin-
ed by circumstances. We once knew
a lad, who, for weeks, recited 500
verses from the Bible each week, and
thereby won a prize. How much OF
it is now available to him we cannot
say.
Now this crananing process may
enfeeble the mind, and, If continued
fora great period of time, might pro-
duce mental dyspepsia. But the
amount of labor required to prepare
for Friday evening"" only strength
ems the memory, by furnishing the
necessary exercise; and if no other
benefit is derived, still we think it will
pay.
In regard to Exhibitions, we have
serious doubts. To properly prepare
for public Exhibition, will require

Music I'm ScbooIs-Ouce More.

nAUSAC Au ScHOOIS-Once MORE
MIR. ED1ToR:-The above-named sub
Ject has been attracting attention for
sometime in this department, and as
friend Of music we must beg leave
to say a word. We well remember
the first song that was sung in our
district school, "Good OIL" Colony
Times" and the anxiety manifested
when the hour drew nigh for singing
exercises.
Ours was the first district in the
vicinity where music was introduced.
1t caused considerable talk, but it
proved a success. Since then, your
humble servant has introduced at the
same place ''graded exercises" with
success. In this community it is no
uncommon occurrence for School Di-
rectors to make mention, In employ
ing teacher, that music shall be IN
troduced.
We think that teachers can make
the school-room more pleasant and
cheerful by introducing music. We
speak from actual experience. We
taught ''graded exercises one session;
the next session Tin same district)
did not have any music, owing. to a
malady affecting our hearing. We
noticed marked change in the spirit
of the school We are a warm advo-
cate of ten or fifteen minutes mu-
sical exercise each day. Have prac-
tised ten years with success.

How to Get Along.

Do not stop to tell stories in bust
ness hours.
If you have place of business, be
found there when wanted.
No man can get rich by sitting
round stores and saloons.
"Never fool" in business matters.
Have order, regularity, iberality
and promptness.
Do not meddle with business you
know nothing OF.
Never buy an article you do not
need, simply because it is cheap, and
the man who sells it viii take it out
in trade.
Trade for money.
Strive to avoid hard words and
personalities.
Do not kick every stone in the
path. More miles can be made in a
day by going steadily on than by
stopping.
Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word
as his bond.
Aid, but never beg.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you cannot afford,
simply because it is fashionable.
Learn to say "no." No necessity
of swapping it out dog fashion, but
say it firmly and respectfully.
Have but few confdants. the fewer
the better.
Use your own brains rather than
those of others.
Learn to think and act for yourself.
Be Vigilant.
Keep rather ahead than behind the
times.
Look in the future for your own

EarlvJusttce in california.

The first Alcade, in 1851, in Yreka, Cali
fornia, was known as ''Cut-eye Foster" but
he left.no docket, and soon ran away, and
George c. Vail reigned in his stead. No
law book was never used in his court; he de-
cided each case on its own merits, writing
out the full history, and his docket is a curl
osity. In one case brought before him, a
boy had driven team from Oregon, and
worked all winter for man, who declined
TO pay. He sold ont in the spring and was
leaving suddenly, when, on complaint of
the boy, Vail and two constables stopped
him on the road Itwas proved that he had
received three thousand dollars on his sale,
but he declared himself unable to pay,
though not denying eboy's claim. Judge
Vail decided in these words: Constable,
stand this man on his head, shake him well,
and see if you can't hear something dropr
No sooner said than done. A vigorous
shaking brought to light wallet contains
ing two thousand dollars in gold dust; the
boy received his claim of three hundred
dollars, the judge and constables took an
ounce apiece for their trouble, and the de-
fendsnt went his way lighter man. JUS
tice like this was cheap at three ounces.

the Bottom OF The Atlantic.


The soundings which were made between
ireland and Newfoundland. before laying
the Atlantic cable have made the bottom of
the Atlantic almost as well known as the
surface of Europe and America. 1t is COW
cred with fine mud, the remains of micro
scopic insects, which will one day doubtless
harden into chalk. Of the inequalities of
this ocean bottom, Prof. Huxley says:
'sIt is a prodigious plain-one of the
widest and most prodigious plains in the
world If the sea were drained off, you
might drive a wagon all the way from
Yalentia, on the west coast of Ireland, to
Trinity Bay in Newfoundland, and except
one sharp incline, about two hundred miles
from Valentia, 1 am not quite sure that it
woukd ever be necessary to put the skid on,
SO gentle are the ascents and descents upon
that long route. From Valentia the road
would lie down hill.for about two hundred
miles, to the point at which the bottom is
now covered by 1 ZOO fathoms of sea
water. Then would come the central plain,
more than !, 1000 miles wide, the inequalities
of the surface of which would be hardly
perceptible. Beyond this the ascent on
the American side commences, and gradually
leads for about 200 miles to the Newfound-
land shore.

[From the School.
What should be Aimed at in
Conducting RecifaiiOns.
FRANK.

Conducting RecifatiOns.
1. The first aim should be to i'm
part such new and valuable informa-
ton as shall be adapted to the wants
and capacities of the child's mind
2. To make pupils accurate, not
only in their knowledge of the sub
iect-matter, but also in the use of Ian
guage.
8. To teach them to think, by
guiding their minds to the discovery
of new truth for themselves.
4. To keep them thoroughly in
terested'in their studies.
To accomplish these objects sue
cessfully, you must
L. Call on as many Of the pupils
as possible at each recitation.
2. Require them to recite without
interruption, and with as little
prompting and as few questions as
may be.
8. After the topic-recitation is
completed, test the pupils knowledge
of the lessons by critical and exhaus-
tive questions. You will learn, in
this way, what further instruction is
needed.
4. Do not forget this rule: When
ever you give to pupils any informa-
ton which you wish them to remem-
Der, always require them to reproduce
what you have told them.
5. So far as possible, make prac-
teal applications of every lesson.
g. Review all the important points
of each preceding lesson
Observe this: In all recitations re-
quire your pupils to stand in an erect
and easy position, to articulate their
words distinctly, and always to speak
in clear, ringing tones. We need to
cultivate the habit of good speaking,
as well as good scholarship.

State, the amount ofcrime during the
year 1872, in which the reform move
ment has gone hand in hand with pro-
hibition, is thirty-three per cent. less
than the average of the last seven
years. The number convicted and
sentenced last year'is fifty per cent.
less than in 1866, and thirty-three

Affection brings those to God,
who in their prosperity made light of
him; it opens mems eyes, and rectifes
their mistakes; and among other in
stances of the change it produces in
their minds, this is one and not the
least considerable, that it often gives
them other thoughts of Gods minis
ters, and teaches them to value those
whom they before hated and despised.
Afliction, however, has not this good
effect upon all; it blinds and hardens
some.

Select Miscellany.
SOWING AND RBAPING.
Sow with q generous hand;

Sow with generous hand;
Pause not for toll or pain;
Weary not through the hest of summer,
Weary not through the cold spring rain;
But wait till the autumn comes
For the sheaves of golden grain.
Scatter the seed and fear not
A table win be spread;
What matter if you are too weary
To eat your hard-earned bread?
Sow while the earth is broken,
For the hungry must be fed.
Sow-while the seeds are lying
In the warm earth's bosom deep,
And your warm tears fall upon It,
They win stir in their quiet sleep,
And the green blades rise the quicker
Perchance for the tears you weep.
Then SOW, for the hours are heeting,
And the seeds must fall to-day,
And care not what hands shall reap it,
Or ifyou shall have passed away
Before the waving corn-felds
Shall gladden. the sunny day.
Sow-and look onward, upward,
Where the starry light appears;
Where, in spite of the towards doubling,
Or your own hearts trembling fears,
You shall reap in joy the harvest
You have sown to-day In tears.
