A NEW POEM BY TENNYSON.
The Defence of Lucknow.

Banner of England, not for season, o banner
 of Britain, hast thou Floated in conquering battle or fiapt to the
 battle-cry! Never with mightier glory than when we had
 reared thee on high Flying at top of the roofs in the ghastly siege
 of Lucknow Shot thro' the staff or the halyard, but ever we
 raised thee anew, And ever upon the topmost roof our banner of
 England Blew. FraiI were the works that defended the hold
 that we held with our lives Women and children among us, God help
 them, our children and wives! Hold it we might-and tor fifteen days or for
 twenty at most. q Never surrender, charge you but every
 man die at his post!'' Voice of the dead whom we loved, our Law
 renee the best of the brave: Cold were his brows when we kiss'd him-we
 laid him that night in his grave. ts Every man die at his post!" and there haiPd
 our houses and halls Death from their rifie-bullets, and death from
 their balls, Death in our innermost chamber, and death at
 our slight barricade, Death while we stood with the musket, and
 death Wnne we StoopI 70 the SEade, Death to the dying, and wounds to the wound
 ed, for often there fell Striking the hospitaf wall, crashing thro' it.
 their shot and their shell Death--for their spies were among us, their
 mslrksmen were told of our best So that tae brute bullet broke thro' the brain
 thtit could think for the rest; Bullets would sing by our foreheads, and bull
 lets would rain at our feet Fire from ten thousand at once ot the rebels
 that girdled us round Death at the glimpse of a finger from over tht
 breadth of street, Death from the heights of the mosque and tht
 palace, and deatM Il the ground! Mine? yes, a mine! Countermine! down
 down! and creep thro the holei Keep the revolver in hand You can heal
 him-the murderous mole. Quiet, an! quiet-wait till the point of thu
 pickaxe be thro'! Click with the pick, coming nearer and neare
 again than before Now let it speak, and you fire, and the darl
 pioneer is no more; And ever upon the topmost roof our banner O
 England blew.

Ay, but the foe sprung his mme many times,
 and it chanced on day Soon as the blast of that underground thunder
 clap echo'd away, Dark thro' the smoke and the sulphur like so
 many fends in their hell Cannon-shot musket-shot, volley on volley,
 and yell upon yell Fiercely on all the defences our myriad enemy
 fell. What have they done? where is 1t? Out yon-
 der. Guard the Redan! Storm at the Water-gate! storm at the Bailey
 gate2 storm, and it ran Surging and swaying all round us, as ocean
 every side Plunges and heaves at bank that is daily
 drown'd by the tide So many thousands that if they be bold enough,
 who shall escape? Kill or be kilPd, live or die, they shall know
 we are soldiers and meni Ready take aim at their leaders-their masses
 are gapp'd with our grape Backward they reel like the waye like the
 fiinging forward again. Flying and foil'd at the last by the handful they
 could not subdue; And ever upon the topmost roof our banner of
 England blew

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.


At the last session of the Teachers Insti-
tute, Notwithstanding the inclemency OF the
weather, a large number of citizens were
present to listen to and participate in the in
t~eresting exercises. The enrolled members
are as follows:
R. B. Hassell, A. j. Noyes, Miss Helen c.
Pierce, Miss A. L. Crossman, Miss Nettie
Emerson, Miss May B. Searles, Miss Emma
son, Mrs. Pierce, James Thompson, NJ. D.,
C. o. Tillotson, T. II. Baker, and j. NJ.
Fegtly.
A class exercise in reading was given by
Miss Pierce. 1t elected considerable discus
sion of methods. All commended the class
for distinctness of utterance and nicely of
expression. Rev. Tillotson said that in order,
to obtain good expression a child must be
made to understand what it reads. DR..
Thompson thought that thorough questioning
upon the subject matter would accomplish
this. President Hassell thought that model
readings by the teachers, constantly followed
up, would do much toward developing beauty
of expression. The "WorI Method " princi-
pie should be prominent in the mind of the
teacher in giving instruction in reading
throughout the grades. No lesson should be
left until every word can be pronounced at
sight. No spelling of words, no hesitating or
drawing of words should be tolerated. Mr..
Fegtly thought the class exercise exception
ally good and all concurred.
Miss Emma Butcher read an essay upon
"Methods of Preventing Whispering" 1t
was full of practical suggestions happily ex-
pressed. Miss Searles followed with a
thoughtful, well written paper upon the same
subject. In a future issue of the MINER we
shall give briefs of these interesting papers.
In the discussion that followed Mr.. Fegtly
condemned the self-reporting system as pro-
~vocative Of lying, and thought that as love
was the best motive to obedience, we should
remember that the best way to inspire respect
and love was by giving a child to understand
that the teachers will is supreme. Messrs.
Moves, Tillotson and Thompson contributed
greatly to the interest of the debate on this
subject.
Miss Cheeseman's drawing exercise consisted
of practical instruction to IA small class pres
ent in the room. She mapped out a complete
course for primary departments on the black
board. As Miss Crossman studied with
krusi, this course had a great deal of interest
to ali present. The first step is to develop in
the mind of the child an idea of a point and
its relation to other points in space. Second,
that of vertical, horizontal, and oblique lines

knicknacks of every description suitable for
children Of all ages, from the crawling infant OF
three weeks to the gay and beauteous maiden

The Mercantile War.

The trite old saying that competition is the
life of trade is we'll exemplifed by the condi-
ton of the mercantile business in this city at
the present time. 1t is urged by some in
whose eyes the present outweighs all consid-
Grafton for the future, and who are not dis
posed. to look into the probable results Of the
present war between the merchants, that the
extremely low prices now ruling in the
clothing and dry goods markets are hurtful if
not disastrous to the business outlook. 1t
cannot be denied that the profits in the retail
trade have decreased, nor that the revenues of
some houses have been lessened. Yet at the
same time this apparent loss will beyond
doubt prove beneficial in the outcome, for
this reason: An impression has long existed
in the smaller settlements, which should be
tributary to Butte, that Helena is the most
profitable market in which to make purchases
for both private families and country stores.
This impression has resulted, of course,
greatly to the advantage of the Capital city
and to the serious injury of Butte, as the
former city has had more trade than it was
entitled to and the latter has not received a
fair share. The fact is, however, that Butte
possesses many advantages over Helena as a
supply town. Our merchants can and do sell
goods at much better figures than those of
the older city, which fact may be accounted
for largely by our greater proximity to the
railroad and the superior enterprise of our
business men. The present mercantile war is
causing some excitement within a radius of
fifty miles, and purchasers, instead Of travel
ing to Helena to buy goods, are for once
vending their way in this direction. Thus
they will acquaint themselves with our vastly
| superior facilities for marking goods down
and when once they get tLat idea firmly es-
tablished there will be no further danger of
losing the patronage which the present lively
competition has resulted in bringing to us.
