No one is likely to grumble over the defeat
by the Senate yesterday of the constitutional
amendment TO reduce the salaries Of members
of the Legislature. The present salary, while
an ample one, is not eXtrayacant, and the
State can easily bear the cost. 1t undoubtedly
makes it possible to secure the services OF
some valuable men in the Legislature VINO
would not otherwise be able to 20, aud It
keeps some Of those who do 20 little further
from temptation than under the old regime,
when the salary was next to nothing ana the
brides were heavy. While the appreciation ID
the character of our Legislatures has been due
mainly 10 the general reformation OF ali de-
partInents of the State Government there can
be no doubt that the payment OF a salary out
OF which members can pay their board bills
and retain surplus of a few hundred dollars
as partial compensation for their time, mas had
something to do with it.

Applying Oil to Trees.

A correspondent Of the Gardeners
Monthzy refers to trees being killed by
applying oil to prevent rabbits from
.injuring them. He says. Il had q lot
OF apple trees creased with lard to
keep rabbits from them, and the bark
came off where they were creased, and
new bark came on a part Of them. A
neighbor rubbed carbon oil on a fine
lot Of trees to keep the rabbits from
them and the next Summer the trees
were as dead as if they had been kent
in a barn. I have planted thousands
Of trees, and seldom fail to have them
grow finely. If l want to have o tree
make fine growth, I tie hay or straw
| from the branches to the ground. I
have saved some valuable trees in that
way that [ do not think could have
been saved any other way. 7 am ex-
lpeTimenting with about two thousand
pear trees; planted in different soils
exposures, and planted different deDths
also, am doing what can to stop The
blight, and think am succeedino
This will be my third wear. and If I
lose as few trees this year, L will riye
you my way Of prevention"

out, and the moral effect Of making a
plan and giving it up is bad. Second,
when you become interested in sub
ject then is the time to study it up.
Follow up a subject when your mind
is awake After we have read a book
then get acquainted with it's author.
The common error with most people
| is, that they do not think enough about
what they have read. Take time to
thoroughly digest new ideas. We
should read remembering some things.
1t is an excellent plan to make q note
of an idea, which is particularly
good. III our age when hundreds Of
volumes are launched from the press it
is impossible to read every thing. We
cannot strictly draw the dividing line
between what we shall read and what
not. Read History by topics if you
would make it interesting. Get ac-
.Quainted with English authors such as
Milton, Chaucer, Bacon, etc. Poetry
is the queen of fine arts, taste for it
should be cultivated. Nothing is more
|eleyating, more enrolling than fine
poem. We must distinguish between
poetry and mere rhymae. In reading
novels select from the standard au-
thors. Never read any thing simply
for the plot It is an advantage to
have read good novel. In novels
more than any other style Of literature
do we find the most accute delineation
of character. It is patriotic duty to
read the newspapers. We must read
them If we would acquaint ourselves
with the politics and history Of our ma
ton. We must read them if we would
note the mighty strides of science, or
the progress Of literature. The time
when we shall read depends upon
other duties. IL possible have fixed
time for reading and not be liable to
interruption. Don't read while you
should be asleep. You cannot afford
to cultivate your intellect at the ex-
.pense of your physical nature, besides
yy01,. mind &c ,, ~ -, q A. oo.,J;4;ov, 4>
receive new ideas. DO not neglect
self culture. That which arises from
reading is high priced, ennobling. No
accomplishment can afford more real
pleasure than taste for fine litera-
ture, and few give us SO much real

After a. short recess q class exercise
in U. S. History was conducted by Mr..
J. J. SWartz. The topic chosen for
discussion was Gen. GTGnt8 Adm62ais-
tratioe. AS a preliminary to the ex-
.ercise Mr.. SWartz gave a highly inter
esting biographical sketch Of Gen.
Grants life: Beginning with his early
boyhood, then following him to West
Point and through the Mexican cam
ipaign up to the time when he was
elected President Of the U. S. The
teachers present then took part in the
exercise which was conducted in an
able, and thoroughly systematic man
ner by Mr.. SWartz
History seems to be Mr.. Swartz's
'Jorte" and on this occasion he did
himself great credit in .52uj32g historical
facts firmly in the memories of those
present.
The association was then declar-
ed adjourned for two weeks.
We would not forget to mention the
praisWorthy efforts made by two Of the
gentlemen teachers to be present at
the meeting. It goes to show that an
enthusiastic desire exists among the
teachers for mutual aid and instruc-

PLEASANT PRIRIE, Dec. 18th, 1877.


The j. d. Teachers Association was
called to order with Vice President
Brande in the chair. In the absence Of
the secretary, it was moved and sec
Onded that A. A. Porter should act as
secretary pro tenn. Motion carried.
Roll call was responded to by senti-
ments. Short verbal reports of their
respective schools, were then made by
the following teachers: Mr.. Swartz,
Mr. Carpenter. Miss Lieber, Miss Por-
ter, Miss Morehouse, MI. Brande.
Miss Leiber read an essay on P41-

written and full of practical sugges-
lions. Her delivery was pleasing, but

deeply felt all that she was reading.

Instead Of numbering the mind with
