number Of births must just equal the
number Of deaths. Should birth be
delayed, the dying man must wait, and
should the dying man linger few hours,
or few days, the birth must be post
poned; for, should the number. even to
the extent of one, be increased on either
side, the wheat market would fuctuate,
and some would be enriched while 9TH
ers would be beggared. Then, too, ev-
cry persons stomach must, at all times,
be OF the same capacity, and in the
same state of health. Should this organ
vary in its capacity, it would affect the
market to the benefit of some, and the
ruin of others. To keep the stomach
thus constant, compound cathartic pills
and emetic must be banished. Then the
doctor would suffer.
Thus it is, while Que class is benefited
by special enactments, others are ruin
ed. But then were it possible to make
everything thus uniform, another class
would suffer, and this very heaven itself
would be instantly destroyed. Had the
devil given the woman six apples, and
had she eaten them and asked for six
more, the effects upon the garden were
nothing, as compared with the effects Of
no speculation upon this Heaven. A
standard currency, and steady advance
ment would be death to prejudice. 1t
would leave the leaders Of our sect up
on earth no capital with which to mount
the high places upon earth, and the
throne in Heaven. Our leaders on earth
preach the doctrine of the advancement
Of all, and that the strong must carry
the weak, but they practice the doctrine
that the long-legged can swing out the
farthest, and run the fastest; and if a
man has but one leg, he cannot run at
all.

VIM. ELDEN, Editor.

1nefe must De gOOd management IN
the school room if the school be sue
cess. Recently, before visiting certain
school, reports said the school was doing
well; the pupils liked the teacher, &c.
Upon visiting the school, FIVE minutes
suf6ced to show why a greater part of
the pupils liked the teacher The teach
er has a very dim idea of school manage
ment, and not much brighter idea of
teaching. The pupils were running the
school. AS matter Of course, the pu-
pills liked the teacher. In one group, we
saw five pupils around one desk, turning
over the leaves Of geography; in an
other group Of three, some book was be-
ing examined. Pupils crossed the floor
at pleasure. Whether classes were re-
citing or not, requests were made and
granted at all times. One pupil was
lost The. teacher inquired for him.
Gone out" answered several of the pu-
pills. Save little memory work, the
pupils are not being benefited. Indeed,
these pupils might be conducted thro'
hundred volumes in this way, and at
the end of the course be less able to help
themselves than at the beginning. In
justice to teachers, and for the benefit
Of the pupils, before pronouncing the
school good or bad, parents should visit
it and look carefully into the workings.
Often that which highly pleases the pu
pills, is against their mental growth.
This teacher is young in the work. Her
scholarship is passable; but before she
can make it of any avail in the school
room, she must understand the princi-
pies Of school government, and the art
of teaching. A few terms experience
may make this teacher efficient. By the
time experience renders her effective in
the school room, the probabilities are,
she will leave the work. At the ex-
pense of money and the children's time,
is it economy thus to train teachers?
Some are teachers from the first, born
teachers; many can never become teach
ers; the great majority must be trained
for the work. When everything else is
all right, it is poor economy to lightly
throw away experience. In another
school we found good work. The pupils
were interested and attentive. Great care
was given to reading. The young pupil
was required to read his short sentence,
again and again until he could give the
proper emphasis and infection. If any
difficulty occurred in the pronunciation
of word, the pupil was trained till he
could pronounce it with ease. The sub
ject matter was talked over, and famil-
lar illustrations used until the pupil un-
derstood what he was about. An exam
ination of the classes in reading showed
that the same care had been taken in
the preceding lessons. In the other
branches the same thorough work was
done. 1t is slow way to get through
the books; but it is the only way to dis
cipline the pupils mentally. We have
many schools like the above one.
School officers and parents should see
to it that all are such.-[SUpT. PARKER,

Not many rules, but good ones, and
these we'll adhered to, should be the
maxim in organizing school. There
should be no looseness in framing rules
for the government of a school; and
above all things there should be no
looseness in the enforcement of these
rules when once enacted. So long as
regulation remains as one of the rules
of the school, it must be closely Observ--
ed; if it is an improper rule it should
be repealed promptly, and the people
should be so informed by the teacher.
Children are very quick to notice any
dereliction or neglect of duty on the
part of the teacher. That individ-
ual should have well settled prin-
ciples to govern his own conduct both
in the school room and out Of it. A
vacillating spirit that shifts about like
the sands Of the desert before every
breath of wind, is contemplate even in
the eyes Of children. Besides, if the
teacher is thus vigorous in the treat
ment of self, he may consistently be
firm in his demands upon others. Many
teachers overlook this. They REQUIRE
certain things Of their pupils which
they themselves are not willina 20 per-

This is the state which naturally
follows exertion, 1t may bo either
of tho body generally, or of one or
more of its organs, and it is more or
less complete in proportion to the
violence Of the exercise which pro-
ducos 1t and Of the bodily strength
of the exerciser. 1t is the effect Of
the failure Of nervous energy, or de-
ficicncy of organized materials fitted
to support the requirements of the
body, The latter is especially the
case in the exhaustion Of those debil-
itated by disease, want of food or
drink, exposure to intense cold, etc.
Under the effects of passion, or ex'
citement Of any kind, persons will
perform feats of strength, and COM
pletely use up, their nervous ener-
gies without being Aware of it until
the stimulus Is withdrawn, when
they sink exhausted, and are quite
incapable Of further cxertion until
rest and nutriment have recruited
their powers; and from such occa.
sional exhaustions no serious mis-
chief may accrue. But when the
daily labors of life are such us pro-
duce them, it is plain that nature
will in time rebel against such ex-
cessivo task-work, and there will be
organic disease and u debilitated
state of the system as the result.
1t is the truest policy, therefore,
not to overtask either the bodily or
the mental powers, for the same re-
suits will follow u continued undue
exercise Of the mind, also. The
mental faculties net by means of bod
lily organs, and the waste of phys
ical energy is as great when q man
works his brain as when he strains
his nerves and muscles. We would
therefore simply warn our readers
against habits and modes of life
which necessitato either physical
or mental exhaustion; especially,
let us not do so in pandcring to
vicious and depravcd appetites.

in the parlor closet of a San Fran.
cisco house early one evening with.
out u suspicion that there was to
be a little entertainment in tho
room that evening. A young ven-
triloquist was in the party, and
when he began his performance he
went innocently to the closet door,
knocked and said: "lyhat are yor
doing in thpre2 Come out of that"
The thief came out, and so suddenly
that the ventriloquist struck the'lOor
with the back of his head. The former
was not too much surprised, however,
to sweep the spoons off the table
into his pockets and the hat-rack
