A WORD TO EDUCATORS.
BY FEMISA,

BY FEMIHA.
No person ever met with marked
success in teaching who did not make
an especial impression on the moral
natures of the children. This is so APP
parent that in all the schools which
owe their existence to the energy of
one person, you will find the public
character of that school based on the
personalon of its founder. In school,
as in the family. all offenses implying
low moral character should be much
more severely punished than offenses
against discipline. For instance, de-
ceptlon, acts OF cruelty or injustice,
vulgarity and the like, merit and
should receive severe condemnation.
On the contrary, thoughtless breaches
of order, childish boisterousness, etc.,
should be as lightly dealt with as pos
sible.
Above all, do not worry about your
dignity, and for fear that your pupils
should not have proper respect for
you. l do not say play with your
scholars at all times, for the ability to
do so depends are personal character
istics of which one must be his own
Judge. / do say, however, that he
who can join theil play without con-
descension, as well as reprove or direct
without severity, shows broader,
nobler range of personal attributes
than one who cannot. Do not consid-
er yourself as perfect or above criti-
cism. Remember that you and your
pupils are students together. though
your conditions of study are slightly
different. Be sincere, earnest in your
efforts to elevate your pupils to your
own level,k be kind. just, impartial
without affectation or pretension, and
you can safely leave your dignity to
take care of itself. If the children
are able to respect you they will do so,
but beware of attempting to pass for
what you are not, for no eyes are SO
quick to penetrate Shams as child,
and no one is so utterly intolerant of
them.

The minister who preached the fu-

is a strong temperance man and took
occasion during his discourse to de-
liver temperance lecture based upon
the incorporate habits, III life, of the

to the dead, whether during life they
were high or low in the scale of social
public or financial existence, to make
use of their evil examples us a VAIN

but there was too much buncombe In

of 1879, Hon. George l.. Frost, of
Dodgeville, member of the Assembly
from Iowa county, died on Saturday
morning last, at Madison. The press
generally very charitably attribute
the deaths of Assemblymen Potter and
Frost to pneumonia, but the matter
of-fact sojourners at the State capital
say that too much whiskey is in reali-
ty what killed them. Death ard
wealth cover a multitude of sins, not
the least among which is intemper-
ance. Messrs. Potter and Frost were
both Greenbackers and their death

the charges of cutting on freight and passenger

knowledge of the rumorcd cutting OF either
freight or passenger rates. There certainly a
scarcity OF cars. which proof that the Baltimore

shipping freight. The activity is due in measure
to the snow blockade most of the more northern
roads, at points the travel being entirely stop
ped. thus compelling freight to seek market
by way ct Baltimore. With all this in its favor the
Baltimore and Ohio has cause to cut rates. In

cutting. and the pool. AZ far as his road was con-
