Teaching is an art. Men don't pick
up art-skill without much close study
and patient toll To teach is not like
pouring grain into the hopper of mill.
TO teach is to develop, to train, to
make men wiser, better, purer, happier.
To teach, requires something more than
mere knowledge affords,-more than
mere acquaintance with the subject to
be taught. He who aims to- train the
mind and hearts Of the pupils, ought to
know Sc something about the mind and
knowledge is not necessarily qualified
to teach, because Of his learning, no
more than he may be gifted to speak in
public. To possess or to acquire
knowledge, is one thing; to impart it to
others, is quite another. Yet few will
recognize this fact.-Brainard's Music

WE learn that the people of Halle
ton have erected fine new school
house 26x36 and two stories high.
This speaks well for our neighbors. 1t
is a sort of investment that pays in ev-
cry way. One of the first questions
asked by men of means or culture,
when they come to a place in search of
a home, is, have you good schools?
And the answer that may be made to
this question, will always be powerful
factor to attract Or .repel the better
classes of home seekers.
Good school houses and the active in
terest of parents and patrons of which
these are indices, seldom fail to be ac-
companied with good teachers and good
scholars.

IMMORAL READING.-Are fathers and
mothers of families justified in taking
those papers which are daily filled with
matter which is only fit for police ga
zette or dime novel of the worst
class? Is that the stuff on which to
feed young boys and girls? Is that the
pabulum for the young ladies of the
household? Is it surprising that any
who have such vile and wicked trash
presented to them should themselves
catch the contagion of this leprosy?
The conductors of newspapers say that
the people demand what they supply.
The truth is that the papers have made
and stimulated, and are increasing the
demand, and that the people whom they
are corrupting will rot in the impurity
in which they live. The remedies are
in both directions. The papers and the
people must reform. 1t matters little
at which end the reformation begins.
But if the decent and religious people of
the country will stop taking and reading
these papers which offend, and will pat
ronize only those which are decent,
the needful change will soon be
wrought. A purified and decided pub
lie opinion will compel managers and
editors of papers which circulate
among the better classes to respect the
moralities of life and the laws of behav-
ior in the homes of the land.-The
Christian InteUi0encer.

Beautiful Country Homes.

Many a poet has told of the hap
py homes of England standing amid
the tall, ancestral trees. The sight
OF a beautiful homestead, with its
surroundings of neat fences, well
cared for fruit and other trees, its
vines and flowers, its many marks
of taste and culture pleases the i'm
agination, aud makes merry the
heart. 1t is surely not enough
that a man would raise his food
and clothiHg-It is right and neces-
sary to do so, but it is desirable to
do more. 1t is a poor and sordid
ambition that ends with even the
accumulation of much gold and
property. Each and every farmer
should make the scene around his
dwelling one to charm the traveller.
and thus do his part toward build
ing up the fair fame Of the country.
Besides, as an able writer has said.
1.-The mind keeps pace with the man,
and the love OF the beautiful in ma
ture inspires the mind with the love
o. the useful and the good. 1t stops
not then-i1 teaches the mind TO
look from nature up to natures God. [

Young Girls.

Our young girls do not under
stand the witchery of bright eyes
and rosy lips, but set off their
beauty by all the artificial means
which lie in their power, never re-
fecting that by 50 doing they de
stroy their principal charm-that OF
innocence. The rounded cheeks,
the bright eyes, the waving hair of
a girl in her teens need only the
simplest setting. Rich fabrics and
sumptuous adjoining are more for
the matron, her dress gaining in
ample fold and graceful sweep as
she puts on the dignity of years.
The seasons teach US something
here, if we 90 to nature for an OBJ
jet lesson. How different her
charm from the deep, maturing
summer, when the hues are decided,
and the air is loaded with perfume
from a thousand censers. The
school gIrl is only on the threshold
of summer. She has not crossed it
yet. Let her copy the sweet grace
Ct the spring on her graduation
day, and discard artifciality for
nature.

A Senator's Wife.

Most of the biographical sketches
of the late Mr.. Wade mention that
he married Miss Rosencranz, and
that he was Al years old, almost an
old bachelor, and she 81, almost az
old maid, when the nuptial knot
was tied. She lived with him 81
years-that fact, too, is stated in
the sketches" but how useful a
helpmeet and helpmate she was is
not more than very generally mar
rated 1t is rather an important
fact that Mrs. Wade was her hus-
bands secretary, accountant, read
er, and it may almost be said right
hand. Senator Wade had an al
most inviucibie antipathy to put
ting pen to paper. He had an al
most equal disinclination TO search
books. This drudgery Mrs Wade
checriully assumed. When her
husband had a great speech in hand,
it was his wife who furnished him
with the materials, which he after
wards arranged, assimilated and
systematized. Great things are
told of her skill in this respect-of
her tact, industry, patience

Cure for Sweeny.

l have used the following many
times in the last forty years, and
never knew it to fail. Take u
ounces of salt pork; fry the grease
from it thoroughly; dissolve three
handfuIs of salt 10 the grease; take
three hens eggs; bruise. them fine,
shells and all; stir thoroughly with
grease and salt when warm enough
to dissolve the eggs, but not to cook
them. Apply to the part affected
every day until you see an improve
ment; then as often as you think
best. Warm it in well with a red
hot shovel after each application.
1 have never known this to fail.
Usually two or three applications
will cure.

How Farmers Should Invest.

Seek not to invest your surplus,
large or small, in delusive schemesfor
sudden wealth: lend not your chest
of choicest tools to strangers, while
you continue working with inferior
implements; make your inYestmen s
within yourself improve your farm
and clear away those unsightly
stumps and piles of stone; reclaim
the bog. improve those domestic
animals and their 4intof s.elter:
cultivate deeper and better, and use
more economical machinery and
farm tools. In short, have that
faith in farming which it richly de
serves in comparison with the vicis-
STUDIES Of other business, and
which shall induce the general i'm
provement Of your farm in prefer
ence to any outside operations,
whers your moderate accumulations
are at the risk and mercy of the
honesty, judgement and capacity
of other men.

Cattle Feeding.

Experience teaches Us that cattle
thrive best on mixed diet; al hay
or all grain viii produce less beet
than hay and grain. The animal
structure of the OK also demands
bulk in food as well a. richness, the
feeding OF concentrated food being
only profitable so far IS the animal
assimilates it, beyond that simply
increasing the manure heap at a
cost far beyond its value.
One element in the economy Of
cattle feeding, the use OF straw As
fodder, has not received the atten-
ton its importance demands On
no one point is the average farmer
so incredalons as regarding the val
ne OF straw to feed, and on many

Novelties in Bonnats.

The most decided novelties are
beads strung on wires and placed in
little loops or festoons around the
edges Of bonaets. There are not
only large yellow wax beads, called
Roman pearls, but a delicate shade
Of French gray and large cut and
frosted gilt beads. Then again
there are festoons, dots, flowers,
fringes and ornaments made Of the
flashing, scintilIating, variegated
little cut glass beads and bugles of
the arc en- Gel, amber, clair de lune.
and other beads of decided color,
sparkling like precious gems amid
the bows Of rich satin, montures
and sprays of flowers and falls of
ace. Occasionally they are set in
curious device with effect of EN-
broidery-the lovelIeSt style Of all
is the crownless bonnet made en-
tirely of flowers in perfect parterres.
An exquisite fancy of this kind is
the dover fanchon-a diadem OF
shaded violets; another is a diadem
of soft misty migonetts in pale
green olive and dead gold shades,
with q golden glimpse Of starry
crocus, and Softened by an airy
fringe of grasses spangled with
white spar, gIistening like dew.
Another style Of small cottage bon
net, setting close to the face, is
made entirely Of shaded violet,
from the delicate light pale bios
som, deepening gradually into the
intense purple Of the double Par
mese violet. There are bonnets of
this shape also made of velvety
pansies and pale arbutus, wall low
ers, daisies, and masses of seeds,
dried pods; and there are combina-
lions of pink and rich crimson
chrysantheums. The most grace
iul and refined bounets are white
throughout as, for example,
white chip of finest quality is
with wide, white, watered
ribbon, fluffy ostrich tip. a single
white rose, with a blush at the
heart a few dark green leaves are
added, and the brim Is bound with
black velvet
