At the departure of the children of Israel

when Isaiah prophesied of her she had

and Rome have long since followed each
other to the dust ; but China still remains, a
solitary and wonderful monument of
patriarchal time. Then look at the popula-
lion of the country, roughly stimated at
400. 000, O0O-ten times the population of the
United States, more than thirteen times the
population of Great Britain and Ireland.

recording the sudden virtue blazing in the

A NOTES.

The latest official statement shows that about
q. 1000, 900 acres of United States Government
land have already been granted for educa-
tional purposes, and that the estimated area
vet to pass for this use to States yet to be
admitted is $4,000, 900.
II believe that the honor of a whole room
can be appealed to, and a state induced so
that a pupil who is disorderly in the absence
of a teacher shall be made to feel the contempt
of his whole roOm."-AnOn.
l think we may safely assume that children
are capable of accomplishing much more than
they ordinarily do in their school lives. The
fault undoubtedly rests with the methods
emplOyed.-HOn. G. "A. DO,rns.
One of the tables prepared by the Commits
sioner of Education is both curious and
interesting. In it he compares the eXpendi-
ture of different Cities for police and
educational purposes, 'to show" says a cores
pondent of the Chicago Tribune 'Lhe advance
Of education of different Cities of the Union"
By this it is seen that the sum used per capita
for school surposes is much greater than that
for the police. This is a conclusive proof of
the general progress of the country.
The adoption of courses of study for un-
graded schools, in many of our counties, has
accomplished great good. We hope that the
superintendent in the counties that have not
vet acted in the matter will bestIr themselves
at once, in order that no more time may be
wasted. There is nothing like having in
instruction, as we'll as in other things, a
definite aim. A vast amount of effort is now
thrown away in a kind of blind struggle to
find out what ought to be done.
Useful sentences from the meeting OF the
Ohio Teachers Association "There is too
much arithmetic studied, and too little under
stood. ave follow our fathers in undertaking
women; instead of weighing brains, We
estimate by SEX" "The teacher of to-day has
a work to do that, in importance, rises above
the usual routine of duties,-that is, far above
mathematics, the sciences, the arts, the
classics it is to make of the boys and girls
introduced to him, men and women of purity
and integrity.
From every section of the country comes
the gratifying intelligence that the primary
schools are coming to be regarded as of the
first importance in the system of American
education. New and improved methods OF
instruction are being introduced and tested
by the abiest sup~erintendents n teachers.
Exercises of observation and conception are
being given by means of objects, such as the
eve can easily see, the hand handle, and the
ear hear. The imagination is stimulated and
guided by means of narrative and reading,
which tends 10 develop a power 10 clothe the
knowledge acquired by the pupil with a new
and refreshing beauty. All of this work is
very valuable, and highly promising for the
future Of our educational progress.

EROM THE GERMAN OF MULLER.
Up from the seas abyss comes softly stealing
Chime of evening bells subdued and slow
To those above thus wondrously revealing
The fair old wonder-town that lies below.
Sunken 1t lies beneath the restless ocean, /.
Its peaceful ruins buried in the deep;
From its tall battlements, with ceaseless motion
Bright golden sparklets to the surface leap.
And should a sailor see the magic cleaning
Meath the red splendor of the sunset sky,
He haGnts the spot for ever, idly dreaming,
Though in dark circle near the black rocks lie.
From my sad bosom's depths comes softly steal
As 'twere chime of bells, subued and slow; ling
They bring my heart once more a strange reveal
OF the sweet love thatdwelt there long ago. ling
Fair is the world there lying sunk and hidden,
It's peaceful ruins buri5d in my breast,
Yet oft celestial sparks arise unbidden
Gliding my dreams, and sweetening my rest.
Then in the seas abyss l fain would plunge me
Through the upleaping sparkletS fain sink
For / feel as though the.angels calFd me-ld0Wn
