THE TEACHERS DREAM.
By w. n. vENABLE.
The weary Teacher sat alone
While twilight gathered on;
And not sound was heard around
The boys and girls were gone.
The weary teacher sat alone,
Unuerved aud pale was he;
Bowed heath yoke of care, he spoke
10 sad sohIoquy;
Another round. another round !.
Of labor thrown away
Another chain of toll and pain
Dragged through ted ious day.
"Of no avail is constant zeal,
Loves sacrifice is loss,
The hopes Of morn, 20 golden, turn.
Each evening, into dross.
II squauder on barren field f
My strength, my life, my all:
The seeds l SOW will never grow,
They perished where they fall"
He sighed. and low upon his hands
His aching brow be prest
And Ger bis frame erelong there came
A soothing sense Of rest.
And then he lifted up his face,
But started back aghast,-
The moon By strange and sudden change
Assumed proportions vast .
1t seemed Senate hall, and one
Addressed listening tbrone,
Each burning word all bosoms stirred,
Applause rose loud and long.
The 'wildered teacher thought he knew
The speakers voice and look,
"'ADd for his name, said he the same
Is in my record book"
The stately Senate hall dissolved,
A church rose in its place,
Wherein there stood man of God,
Dispensing words Of grace.
And though he spoke iu solemn tone,
And though his hair vas gray,
The teachers thought was STRANGELY
wrought
Il whipped that boy to-day"
The church, ph hantasm, vanished soon
What saw the teacher then?
In classic gloom of allowed room
An author piled hls pen.
my idlest lad r. the teacher said,
Filled with new surprise
'Sball behold his name enrolled
Among the great and wise p
The vision of cottage home
The teacher DOW descried;
"a mothers face illumed the place
Her influence sancti6ed.
'''A miracle q miracle
This matron, we'll knev,
Was but q wild and careless child, =.
Not half al hour ago."
"'Aud when she to her children speaks
OF duty's golden rule,
Her lips repeat in accent sweet,
My words to her at school,"
The scene was changed again, and 10,
The school-house rude and old;
Upos tbe wall did darkness fell,
The evening air was cold.
"A drea1i" the sleeper, walking, said,
Then paced slong the floor,
And, Whistling aov and soft and low,
He locked the seh0ol-house door.
And walking home, bis heart was full
Of peace and trust and love and praise {:
And singing slow and soft aud low,
He murmured. "After many days"
