PROF. TYNDALL'S WARNING.

In concluding an address to the stu
dents of University College, Nordon,)
Prof. Tyndall, who is unquestionably
one Of the most indefatigable brain
workers of our century, said. take
care of your health. Imagine Hercules
as oarsman in rotten boat; what can
he do there, but by the very force of
his stroke expedite the ruin of his craft.
Take care of the timbers Of your boat. >
The distinguished scientists advice is
equally valuable to all 1corkers We
are apt 10 devote all our energies TO
welding the oars, our strokes fall
firm and fast, but few of US examine
or even think of the condition of our
boats until the broken or rotten timber
suddenly give way and We find our
selves tie victims of a calamity which
could have been easily avoided by a
little forethought. What began with a
slight fracture, or perhaps even care
less exposure to disorganizing influ-
ences, ends in the complete wreck
of the life-boat. The disease which
began with slight headache Gran un
due exposure to cold terminates in
death, unless its progress be checked,
and the disease remedied The first
symptoms, the heralds of disease, give
no indication of the strength of the on
coming foe, and the victim trusts that
bis old ally, Nature. will exterminate
the invader. But Disease is an old
general and accomplishes his most i'm
portant movements in the night time,
and some bright morning finds him ir
possession of one of the strongest forti'
fications; and when he has once gained
a stronghold in the system, Nature
ANONYMOUSLY turns traitor and secret
" delivers up the whole physical arm
ory to the invader. Like the willy pol
itician, Nature is always on the strong
est side, and the only way to secure
his support is to keep your vital pow

TEACHERS INFLUENCE.

How can we promote, in our public
schools. a love of truth, a sense of
honor, desire for good character as
well as good reputation? There is
nothing which has given me greater
cause for sadness than the fact that,
during my experience of teaching, 1
have found few children who are stead
fastly honest and frank; few who can
be fully trusted If not watched, few
whose word can be implicitly believed.
The question arises, "Can nothing be
done to forward the cause of truth
among the pupils of our SCHOOL," Do
not we teachers, as class, think too
little of our influence over those COM
mitted to our charges Well do 1 re-
member the influence of some, Il may
say of all the teachers of my childhood.
Many little incidents of school-life will
never be effaced from my memory. and
often 1 wonder if my little trouble
some comforts" are receiving impress
sions as lasting. One way to teach
children to be honest, is to set them
an example of perfect honesty; to
fulfill every promise made to them. and
never threaten them with what ia mot
carried out. There are many scholars
who hardly know, from hometrainins.
what honesty is; who are deceived by
parents until they decide that it il
quite right to deceive whenever such q
course win answer their ends; who are
threatened but escape punishment,

umphant reply.

THE report of the q. s. Commission
er of Education. shows education to
be in fiourishing condition through
out the North, but greatly in need OF
attention in the South. The education
of the colored people of the South is OF
paramount necessity to the whole
nation. Their present ignorance is not
only disgrace but it is a danger. The
ballot in the hands of a man who can
not read or write, lisa subject worthy OF
serious consideration, for it forms an
obstacle in the way of progress which
should be removed. The colored peo-
pie have made wonderful progress dur
ing the last eleven years. Wherever
educational facilities have been afford
ed they have not failed to use them
They evince disposition to learn, and
if corresponding disposition were felt
on the part of the whites to teach
them, their ignorance would soon be
removed. But the people of the North
have duty in the premises. If some
movement were made throughout the
North with view TO the education oi
the masses whom the North liberated,
nearly all the ignorance would be re
moved within the next decade,

MUSCULAR TEACHERS.

We hear a great deal nowadays
about muscular preachers;-wili no
one put in a plea for muscular teach
ersl Once, not many years since, an
idea was prevalent that piety was III
separable from q weak chest, and a
Door digestion the outward sign OF a
meek spirit. Now it is generally ad-
mitted by the fock that the shepard
NAV be a worthy and Jealous man,
though he does occasionally use his
crook for a leaping-pole. A similar
Ieniency with regard TO teachers does
not seem to prevail SO widely. IL
would appear that people argue that Il
q teacher has a pair of round should
ers. they must have come from con-
sumption of the midnight oil; that the
rounder tney are, the more informa-
ton the pcssessor has gorged;-eTgo.
the filter she is to teach their children
Weak eyes are often considered sign
of superior erudition, and no oversklrt
is an almost infallible proof OF great
intellectual attainments. If she wears
a poke bonnet and a deprayed collar,
the inference is that she has mind
above frivolity of any sort.

DUCKLINGS MORE PROFITABLE
THAN CHICKENS. D

The saying often applied to young
ducks that @they eat more than they
are worth" may be a very unjust one.
Several years ago we were speaking
with a woman who raised yearly large
numbers of ducks and chickens, re
garding the imperative amount of food
consumed to bring them to their full
growth. She stated that ducks eat
ess in proportion to their growth than
chickens" Our readers may be sur
prised at this, but upon giving the mat
fer a little thought they will under
stand the reason, 1t is because the
ducklings reach maturity sooner than
the chickens, and, of course, the longer
it takes to bring a creature to maturity,
rhe greater the expense, not only OF
pertinent has demonstrated the fact
that, with the same quantity of food
and care, the ducklings, in ninety days
from the shell, may be made to weigh
nine or ten pounds per pair or over,
while chickens, in the same length Of
time, come to weigh only six or seven
pounds per pair, Hence the remark
quoted at the commencement of Ibis
paper, does not apply when duckling.

THE FARMERS WIFE.

Oh! give me the life of a farmers wife,
In the fields and wood so bright,
'Mong the singing birds and the lowing
herds,
And the clover blossoms white
The note of the mornings heavenward lark
Is the music sweet to me;
And the dewy flowers in the early hours,
The gems love to see!
Oh, give me the breeze from the waving
trees,
The murmer of summer leaves;
And the swallows songas he skins along
Or twitters beneath the caves;
The plowman's shout, as he's turning out
His team at set of sun;
Or his merry goodnight" by the flre-ny
light,
When his daily work is done.
And give NE the root of the lucious frui'
Nv own hands rear for food;
And the bread so light, and the honey
white,
And the milk so pure and good;
For sweet the bread OF labor is,
When the hesrt is strong and true,
And blessings will come to the hearth anC
home,
If our best we bravely do.

THE FIRST PARTY.
By JOSEPH PoLLAhD d.

Miss Annabel AcLsrty
Was invited to party,
"Your company from four to ten. Inc
invitation said;
And the maiden was delighted
To think she was invited
To sit up I'LL the hour when the big 1oiks
went TO bed.
The crazy little midget
Ran and told the news TO Bridget,
Who C capped her hands and danced 3 Jig,
to Annabers delight,
And said, with accents hearty,
"'Twill be the swatest party
II we're there yerself, me darlint! wish
it was tonight"
The great display of frilling
Was positively killing!
And oh. the little booties' and the lovely
sash so widei
And the gloves so very cunning!
She was altogether stunning"
And the whole McCarty family regarded
her with pride.
They gave minute,dIrectiOns,
With copious interjections
OF "sit up straight" and Don't do tins,
or thatl-'twould be absurdr'
But. what with their caressing,
And the agony of dressing,
Miss Annabel McCarty didn't hear single
word.
There was music, there was dancing,
And the sight was most entrancing,
As if fairy land, and floral band, were
holding jubilee;
There was laughing, there was pouting;
There was singing, there was shouting;
And old and young together made car
niyal of glee.
Miss Annabel McCarty
Was the youngest at the party,
And every one remarked that she was
beautifully drest;
Like doll she sat, demurely
On the sofa, thinking surely
II would never do for her to run and frolie
with the rest
The noise kept growing louder;
The naughty boys would crowd her;
Il think you're very rude indeed!' tn
little lady said;
And then, without a warning,
Her home instructions scorning,
She screamed: 81 rant my s,,Pper'-oiid
soant 10 90 10 bedi"
Few biy folks. who are older.
Need laugh at her nor scold her,
For doubtless, if the truth were known
we've often felt inclined
To leave the ball, or party,
As Gid Annabel McCarty,
But we hadn't half her courage, and W
couldn't speak our mind!

Mr.. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS is the
only American who ever refused the
degree of doctor of civil laws from
Cambridge University, England. The
cause of this refusal was the fact that
the recipients of degrees at the English

in the galleries.

IT is an educational maxim that in
struction, both in matter and method,
should be adapted to the capacity of
the taught. Is this maxim followed by
our best teachers to day? If SO. how
can the teaching of mental arithmetic,

exercises, very generally taught, be
justified.

DEMOCR1TIC SOKEHEADS.

One peculiarity the American people have:
they detest a sorchead. The man who goes
about perpetually showing his scabs, and beg
ging public sympathy on account of them, is
sure to be the most thoroughly detested man
in the community. But Mr.. Tilden, Mr.. Hen
dricks and Mr.. Dorsheimer seem to think
that the perennial exhibition of their sores
will move Americans to sympathy. They are
not merely mistaken. Their exhibition. Will
not only fail to win regard; it will excite gen
eral disgust. Do they think Americans have
foIgotten the Infamous Oregon business? Can
they expect anybody to share then vexatlon
at the failure of their attempt TO cheat the
country by the bribery of electors in South
Carolina and elsewherc2 Whether rightfully
or wronglully beaten, it is absolutely certain
that Democrats tried to win by fraud, and
failed only because poor men would not sell
their votes, and a tribunal of Democratic ere
alton rejected Democratic claims.
The country has not been able to See in the
conduct of the Democratic party or its man
ayers any superior honesty, respect for law,
regard for public welfare, or care for the de-
cencIes of political competition. If it can be
truly said of either party that it has spurned
dealing, and displayed an eagcrness to get
power and hold it, if necessary by impudent
aud shameless robbery, it can be said OF the
Democratic party. Whatever the people may
think of the conduct of Republican managers, it
is certain that there is no disposition among fair
men to punish Republican misconduct by
placing power in the hands of Democrats
whose attempts to steal it were open, fragrant,
and insolent Decent men will reject with
scorn the prctense of Democratic managers
that hey are the champions of public virtue
and honor Republican misdeeds may and
ought to be condemned, in the persons of
those who were guilty But there will be no
mercy for the Democratic managers who tried
the methods of pickpOcket for the settlement
Of a national election.
Nor is there the least occasion to favor
Democratic knaves in order to Tebuke any Re
publican knavery. The men who have been
abusing their power as managers of the Re-
publican party are getting quite effective re-
bukes already. The Democrats cannot serve
the cause of Their opponents III any way more
effectively than by setting up as the chronic
sOIeheads of American politics. In that ca
pacity they will he despised for their coward
ice, detested for their unsuccessful but mScru-
pulous knavery, scOrned for their assumption
of a virtue which they have not even pre-
tended TO possess, and beaten for their papa-
bic dishonesty in trying to fasten response
biity for rebuked and discarded Republican
managers of the past upon the Republican Ad
IN ministration of to-day They Will not find this
a profitable experiment. The country will not
cboosa hetween Cronin and Madison Wells
