Celestial EeminInitY.

We are told that the following decree
was recently issued by the Emperor Of
China:
"All persons of the female sex are for
bidden, upon any pretext whatever, tc
enter temple or quit their houses, ex'
cept in cases of absolute necessity. Faith.
ers, husbands, sons or relatives, are COM
manded to keep them at home, on pain
of being themselves severely punished"
There is slight difference between
the manners and customs of China and
those of California. No one supposes
that such decree was enforced, though
possibly the Emperor was made to think
it was; but in this country a man who
should think of such thing would be
laughed out of town. Chinese civiliza-
ton is not like our civilization.
In China q woman lives for the exclu.
sive benefit of her husband. Her great
object in life is to please him. If she
succeeds, she gets nice dresses; and if she
doesn't succeed, she islikely to get nice
dressing" In San Francisco, per con
ira, woman does more to please herself
than she does to please her husband, and
if he doesn't like it, why, all he has to dc
is tO-"lump it"

that in 1861 Mr. Prentice was offered
by G. w. johnson, a prominent Ken

the Confederate side Mr. Prentice dis
cussed the matter with him in all its
bearings, but ended with no abatement
of his Union sentiments. He afterward
wrote letter, in which he said "If at
any future time | conclude that there
is no earthly chance of the South's
coming back in war, shall advocate the
recognition of Southern independence,
but in doing this l shall feel lettle else
than despair for what | have ever re.

Geography of vermont.-..No. 3.

While the pupil is practicing the out
line of the map, let him learn the location
and direction of the mountain ranges and
rivers. The location and direction of the
rivers will be much better remembered if
we study them in groups, letting each group
comprise all the rivers of one slope.
We shall also find it necessary to study
the location and extent of the various water
sheds of the state in connection with the
rivers these can be readily traced on the
map, by noticing the sources of the streams
and the direction in which they flow. For
convenience let us begin with the north
eastern corner of the state, and, noting care
fully the source and direction of each, study
the rivers of the first group, which will in
clude those flowing into the Connecticut.
The second group will include those flow
ing into the Hudson; the third, those flow
ing into Lake Champlain and the fourth,
those flowing into Lake Memphremagog.
The important tributaries of the large
streams should be learned in connection with
the river to which they belong. We find it
better to have the pupil learn the source
and location of each stream by county than
by town, as he will learn them much easier
aud remember them longer than if he tries
to memorize the names of so many towns.

The Victory.

1t is told of a Christian woman that
friend entered her room and found her with
bowed head, as if in prayer or deep, earnest
thought. For long time the silence was
unbroken. At length her friend spoke to
her tenderly, knowing that great sorrow was
on her heart and thinking that she might
comfort her. al have been trying to say
the Lords Prayer" she answered, "but
well aware that she had known that precious
prayer, and had repeated it over and over
ever since she learned it in infancy at her
mothers knee. Her remark seemed strange,
therefore, to her. But she explained. She
had said the words thousands of times, in
sunny childhood. in joyous youth, on her
wedding morn, and then along the gladsome
years that followed, amid songs and flowers
aud prattling child-voices, and in the sweet.
ness of an unbroken home circle. Aud they
had flowed from her lips like ripping music
all this while. But now great sorrow had
come. The blow had wellnigh crushed
her. Deep were the shadows. She had been
called to take out of her bosom and give to
the Great Shepherd the most precious and
tender of her joys. And now she could not
get through the Lords Prayer any more
Since the light had faded from those dear
eyes she had begun hundred times, " Our
Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will"
But she could not get any further. She
could not say, THY will be done" And it
was days and days before she obtained the
victory, and before quiet peace came again.
But when it came, what deep and blessed
peace it WAS

A Word TO Teachers.

A few days ago lady said to me, " have
read your Word to Parents, and, while l
do not uphold my children in any wrong in
school, do think there may be something
said on the other side, for | do not think it
right to punish children upon the head and
about the ears"
Certainly, word to teachers should be
said if such modes of punishment are prev
alent in our schools. Some young teachers
are warned by older heads with no experience
themselves to "keep order and make 'em
mind" until the discipline stands first and
teaching second; and only one way presents
itself to them to deal with delinquent pupils,
and that is by some mode of corporal punish
ment. The head is convenient target al
which to aim, and so is sometimes, we re-
gret to say, the recipient Of various painful
punishments
Experience has taught me that in nine
cases out of ten corporal punishment might
be avoided, and when used should be con-
sistent with teachers dignity and interest
charge. Moreover, there is real danger in
inAicting blows about the head of doing pos
tive injury. The ear is delicately-f fash
ioned organ, and to be regarded with care.
Our teachers should know enough of physi-
ology and physical anatomy to prevent them
from such indiscretions Most children,
have found, will receive merited punish
ment given in love and not in anger, in the
right spirit and with good grace, who will
resent tine hasty blow or cruel pull of the
ear or hair.
That school is best governed in which
teacher and pupils are in harmony with each
other, where
"Love is the law OF the school"
And except in extreme cases, with love for
the work. and love for the noisy, roguish,
