JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE. " - The

CURED, and the want of enterprise in
the HERALD in not publishing Cayerly's
address, etc Now this is all simply
ridiculous. The GI25e had better waited
a week than to have published such a
stupid report, and the addresses in such
mangled form, especially that of
DIR. Caverly. The Herald and Globe
were both represented at Pittsford
by reporters, and both stood on
the same footing in regard to the adj
dresses that were written. Caverly's
address was handed to the Globe reporter,
Colburn's was handed to the HERALD re-
porter, with the understanding, in both
cases, that they were common property
to both papers. Our reporter notified the
Globe reporter on the evening of the
exercises, that we did not want the man
uscript of DR.. Caverly's address until
the next day, and handed him the adj
dress of Colburn. We published on Fri
day morning full and general report of
the dedication exercises, including the
welcoming address, amounting to over
two columns, and remembering that our
extensive list of subscribers demands the
general news of the day, we gave it to
them. On Saturday morning we finish
ed the report in manner for which we
have been complimented, while the
Globe, on Friday, had nothing scarcely
but Pittsford monument, except some
long-winded editorials, to the disgust
of their few subscribers, and to make
matters worse, their report was about
all made up of speeches Gin mangl-
ed FORM, the names of the officers
of the day, etc., with very little in
regard to how the day had been cele-
brated, and then they did not finish the
report, but had to finish it on Saturday

Interesting correspondence.

The following correspondence between

the Clerk of Nickwackett Fire Co. No.
/, of Rutland, is published for the pur-
pose of showing just how much ground
there was for the malicious assaults of
''ye Independent" journals upon Rutland
firemen. We do not suppose the Troy
Press or Rutland Globe, will cease their
cry of rowdyism against Rutland fire.
men, upon the simple evidence of the
men who were there, no matter how re-

readily see that the attacks upon the fire

of theirs on the cars:
RUTLAND, Aug. %, 1873.
REV. DIR. CUsHMAN--Deor Sir: You
have probably seen what has been pub
lished in some of the papers, about what
occurred in the cars on the Harlem Ex-
tension railroad, on the night of August
10Th, charges very discreditable to Rut-
land firemen, and more particularly so
to the Nlckwackett company, No. 1.
Will you please give your version of
what you saw, and thought that night,
and do you consider that you were insul-
ted, or, as the Rutland Globe has it,
Outraged" by the firemen ? We regret
anything should have occurred to give
grounds for such reports as have been
published. We wish to get at the facts,
and if you will answer this letter, you
will oblige Yours truly,

Clerk, Nickwackett Co.,

view, it is my pleasing duty to commit
II to your care and ownership, and to

OF their labors. Our town historian, Dr.
Caverly, has already rehearsed to you
the leading facts relating to the building
and history of the fort which nearly a
hundred years ago stood upon the ground
we now occupy. He has also told you
tne circumstances attending the massacre
OF the brave young soldier who here lost
his life. 1t is not necessary for me.
therefore, to dwell upon these events
But for the information of those from
the neighboring towns who have honored
us with their presence on this occasion.
IT Is proper that ] should briefly notice

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has so mach TO bear,
Achild's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatcl of tangled hair;
Perhaps you do not heed tho velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers, folding yours SO
tight;
You do not prize this blessings over-much,
You are almost too tired TO pray tonight.
But it Is blessedness A yeai ago

We are so dull and thanlless; and too slow
To catch the sunbeam till II slips away;
And now 1t seems SURPRISING strange " me
That while wore the badge ofmotherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly,
The little child that brought me only good.
And, il some night when you sit down TO r0st,
You miss this little elbow from your tired
knee:
This restless, curly head from off your breast,
The lisping tongues that chatters constantly;
If from your own the dmplcd hand has slip

And ne'cr would nestle in your palm again;
Ifthe white feet into the grave had tripped,

AT little children clinging to their gown,
Or that the footprints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make them fiown.
IL could find a little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor;
II conld kiss rnsy, restless fJot,
And hear its pattor in my home once more;
If could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite to reach tho sky
There is no woman In Gods earth could say

Is never rumpled by shining head;
My singing birding from Its nest has flown;

"lEACI THEM SOMETHING. ."-There is a
class OF teachers who altogether fail TO appreci-
ate the Importance Of thoroughness in Sabbath
school instruction. They greatly underate the
capacity of their pupils, and the demand which
they make upon their teachers. They assume
that children, and even grown boys and girls,
require very elementary-which to them means
very uperrcal--instruction. In consequence
OF this they teach very little, ifanything, beyond
what is already understood.

bean member Of the Sabbath-school, hearing
the question discussed: "What can be done to
retain the advanced pupils in our Sabbath
schools" remarked: 81 can tell YOU what to
do, Teach them something." This remark,
though from boy, is worthy the consideration
of men and women. 1t contains a volume Of
| instruction to Sabbath-school teachers. If the
teacher would secure in influence with pupils
OF almost any age, and retain it, lie must ''teach
them something" every Sabbath. Not only
young men and women, but children of an aver
ago capacity, expect TO receive Instruction.
They know that il is the business of teachers
to iinpart instruction, not TO fill up the head
with mere talk, and those who fail to do it,
cannot expect TO command, for any considera-

And clothed in white raiment, they rest Oh tue

Where the lamb loveth his children to lead

Before they rest, they pass through the strife,

Yet all reach the home OF the undetilad,

One by enc;
We are nearer its waters each eventide,
One by one.
We can hear the noise and dash of the stream,
Now and again through our life's deep stream,
Sometimes its floods all its banks o'ertow-
Sometimes in ripples the small waves 20,
