They may say this is only theory and
beyond proof. '.Imposs,6ile est idem,
non esse," is undoubtedly beyond the
power Of human demonstration, vet
there 10 no rational man who will DENY
that some idea exists and does not exist
in the mind at the same time, and we
all agree that no idea is innate. When
two straight lines bisect each other, it
is perfectly obvious to any mind that
the opposite or vertical angles are equal;
but it requires q good mathem atician TO
demonstrate it. Let, therefore, those
men who see the truth of this PROPOSE
tion stalk forward, and by their stren-
uous efforts the injured portions of the
body win be healed and come to our
rescue.
l will introduce ore more simile to
this subject upon which 1 DISCOURSE
1t is often said when the weather be-
comes warm the snow will leave the
mountains, and rice rersa, when the
snow leaves the mountains the weather
will become warm. A seemingly equiv
alent expression to this, is to say that
is this and this that. Yet we know
when the perpendicular rays of heat
and light fall from the sun upon the
mountains that the snow will melt and
the weather become warmer. So from
our Teachers Association, when cur
minds will be purged of erroneous i'm
pressions and our capacity for teaching
increased, will come these pure rays,
which will brighten with time and cast
their softening influence over the whole
community.
We are now, as it were, separated,
pulling one against the other, when the
meahs presented ere sufficiently ample
to bring US together as band of broth
ers, striving TO improve one another
Let us then come together. having that
one great aim in view of laying up rich
stores for our minds, and we will lie of
greater worth to the community; our
compensation will necessarily increase,
and then, and not till then, can we hope
to gain the respect and confidence of pa
rents and be able to teach successfully.

To OBTAIN FRuIr FROM BARREN
TRREs.-A correspondent of the AMER
ican Agricu!tHrisi says: t
Il wish 70 describe TO YOU a method
of making fruit trees bear that blum
6ered on. Some fifteen years ago had
a small apple tree that leaned ccnsid-
erably. / drove stake by it, tied q
string to limb and fastened it TO the
stake. The next year that limb blos-
somed full, and not another blossom
appeared on the tree, and, as Tim
Bunker said, ii sot me thinking, and
l came to the conclusion that the string
was so tight tha: il prevented the sap
returning to the roots; consequently It
formed fruit buds. Having a couple OF
pear trees that were Large enough to bear,
hut had never blossoued, iooka coarse
twine and wound i several times around
the tree above the lower limbs, and tied
il rs ti-ht as / could. The next Spring
all the top above the cord hlcssomed al
white as . sheet. and there was not one
blossom below where the cord was tied.
i neighbor. seeing my trees loaded with
tears, used this method with the same
resalt. / have since tried the expert
ment on several trees, almost with the
same result. ! think il n much better
wav than cutting off roots. In early
Summer, say June or July, wind .
strong twine several times around the
tree, or n single limb, and tie it the
tighter tie better, and YOU viii be
lieased With the result; the next Win
ter or S7ria: ;Ac cord mag be taken

To WHOM She SAYs.No.-A woman
never quite forgcts the man who once
loved her. She may not have loved
him; she may, indeed, have given him
"no" instead of the Eyes" he hopes
for; but the remembrance that he de-
sired d yes" always softens her thoughts
of him, and would make him were he
reminded of it, friend forever. There
may be girls who make a jest of dis
carded suitors; but they are generally
very young; and the wo6ing has been
something that did not betoken much
depth of tenderness. There are, mer-
cenary offers, too, that only awaken
scorn and hate in the woman wooed
for money and not for herself; but real
ly to have touched a mans heart is
something not to be forgotten by her
as long as she lives.
Always she well remembers how his
eyes looked into hers; how, he touched
her hand with his, aud how her heart
ached when he turned away without
that which she could not give him.
She loved some one else. Some other
man has all the truth of her soul-al-
ways has, and always will have-but
she cannot forget the one who turned
from her ard went his way, and came no
more. She is glad when she hears of
his success, grieved when she knows
that he has suffered, and when some
day she hears that he is married
Sca who has barvalf baa,, ,,,.rr;,l CO.
long years, perhaps-she who at all
events, would never have married him
is she glad then? l do not know
A woman's heart is a very strange
thing. ! do not believe she knows her
self. Glad? oh, yes-and his wife
pretty and nice 7 And then she saws
to herself that 'he has quite forgotten -
and ''that, Of course, is BEST" and cries
little.

To-MoRRow-To-merrow may never

row. We cannot find it in any title

of real estate and great ships on the
sea does not own a single minute of to-
morrow. Tomorrow 1t is a mys:e-
rious possibility not yet born. 1t lies
under the seal of midnight, behind the
veil of glittering considerations.
Enjoy the present, whatever it may
be, and be not solicitous for the future;
for if YOU take your foot from the pre-
sent standing, and thrust it forward to
to-morrow's event, you are in a rest
less condition. 1t 10 ike refusing to
quench your present thirst by fearing
you will want to drink the next day
Ii tomorrow you should want, your
SORROW would come time enough though
YOU do not hasten it. Let your trou-

JOY blessings this day, If God sends
them, and the evils of it bear patiently
and sweetly, for this day is ours. We
are dead to yesterday and not yet born
to te-morrow.-Jcremy Taylor.

FIRST UsE OLE TILE HANnKrr

FIRST USE OF THE HANDEERCHIEF.
Until the reign of the Empress Jo-
scphine, handkerchief was thought in
France SO shocking an object that lady
would Eever have dared to use it before
any one. The word even was carefully
avoided in refined conversation. Anac-
tor who would have used bandker-
chief oil the stage, even in the most
fearful moments of the play, would
have been most numerically hissed:
and it was only i'm the beginning of the
present century that n celebrated ac-
tress, Mile. Dachesnoire, dared to ap-
pear with q handkerchief IN her hand.
Having to speak to this handkerchief in
the course of the piece, she never could
summer enough courage to call it bv
its true name. but referred to il as {
light tissue. 4 few years later, a trans
lation of Shahspeare's play, by Alfred
dc Vignv, having been acted, the word
handkerchief was used for the first time
ON the stage, amid cries of indignation
from great part of the house. doubt
If even today French elegantes would
carry handkerchiefs if the wife Of Ma
poleon /. had not given the signal for
adopting them. The Empress Jose
phine, although really lovely. had ugly
teeth. To conceal them she was in the
habit of carrying small handkerchiefs,
adorned with costly laces, which she
continually raised gracefully to her
lips. OF course all the ladies of the
court followed her example, and hand
kerchicfs have rapidly become an impor-
tant and costly part of the feminine toi-
let; so much so that the price of a sim
gle handkerchief of the trousseau of the
duchess of Edinburgh would make the
fortune Of necessitous family.

Much of the d:se15 N, expressed

Iagement Of President Gor{1an, we are
very much inclined to think, has its orr
gin in the fact that he has worked the
Canal, as far as he coulo, in the inter-
est Of the whole State and not of part
of it. The lower he would lnt the tolls
the better the people on the line of the
Canal would like it. II he wants to be
the most popular man on that line all
he would have to do would to abolish
tolls altogether. The next nost agree
able thing he could dowould be to make
the reduction fall exclusively On the Ca
nal. Such course would not, howcv-
er, be so agreeable 10 the rest of the
State. What the interests Of the pso-
pie require is that the tolls should be
so arranged as to enable the Canal sue
cessfully to compete with the railroad.
This the present management seem to
understand and be determined to do.
When we estimated that the preferred
bonds Of the Canal would be paid off
within fifteen years, our estimate was
based upon what it now yields. But it
is not at all improbable that the reve-
nue. may be doubled within the next
ten years, and that, instead Of quar-
ter, it will pay half a million of dollars
annually. The capacity Of the Canal
is not yet known. Improvements will
likely to made in the running of the
boats, &c. The demand for our coal is
steadily on the increase. 1t was more
improbable, ten years ago, that this
work would yield quarter Of million
annually, than it now is that it will
yield half million within the next ten
years. TIE people of the State certain
ly own a most valuable property. 1t
will depend upon how it is managed
low much they will get from it. 1t
may not be always possible to discon-
meet it from politics, but it win always be
possible to have it wei! and Intelligent
iy managed. One of the most effective
means for this end is to direct public
attention to it.
