Treat children as children. Do not
say a thing should be done, as if the
children set to do it were years older
than they are; or, having set them
upon it, demand great part of il from
them, when little portions are all they
can really give us. We are apt TO
think they need more work than they
do; that they had better pursue this
study or that, because we like it, or
estimate It's advantages very highly,
and yet, though our estimate may be
exaggerated, or our liking unreasona.
bic, it may be unwlse TO prescribe the
study to our children. The best model
initiate is
"'Blind Authority beating with his slac
The child that might have led him.
Our schools are for our pupils, not our
pupils, for our schools. Pupils wants
are the ends, and pupils capacities the
means, of all wholesome education"

As to what the teacher should be,
constitutionally, we may say, i is
eminently desirable that he should be
well organized in every respect, both
bodily and mentally. Hc should have
an energetic, enduring and elastic con-
stitution which can work easily and
work long, and maintain its strength
and activity, Aperson who is consti.
tuted like a slack.twistod string, like
soft and porous wood, or like mellow
metal that is easy impressed, and who
has character corresponding TO such
constitutional qualities, has no proper
place in the school.room as q teacher.

Of the fiddle-string for toughness and
density, Of the steel spring in elasticity

and endurance.-NelSon Sizer.

The plans of school teaching and
school government of former times,
and which, TO very great extent,
hold sway in many parts of the civil.
lied world even in this enlightened
day, constituting the sum total Of the
science of pedagogics of great many
of our teachers, are crude and limited
as regards tho whole phenomena Of
life. They lead the learner away from
the means which the great object in
view is to be accomplished, instead Of
leading him forward into the develop.
ment Of the powers with which he Is
endowed by nature. Children possess
very different mental characteristics
from adults; and, in teaching them,
these characteristics must be studied
and taken advantage Of. With chil.

He had no faith in it. The
expression was vociferously cheer.
ed. He congratulated himself
that there was but one
feeling in reference to it now. As he
lived, he believed Connecticut would
give Hancock and English 5000. The
government should be taken out OF the
hands of those who had fraudulently
retained it. There would be q saving Of
at least fifty million dollars a year, and
American bottoms would place in
American pockets the one hundred
millions paid every year to foreigners
for freight. 1t was the power over all
that had brought prosperity. John
Sherman was not even guide.post to

RIVER PIRATES ON THE
RAMPAGE.
The Crew Of a Wrecking Boat

was at work OH the Vicksburg, carrying
of skiff load OF the cargo OF the Vicks-
burg. The crew OF the wrecking boat
fired on the thieves, and one Of them,
supposed to have been wounded, fell
overheard and was drowned. The
wa'chman OF either the wrecking boat
or the Vicksburg, who was found to
have been in collision with the pirates,
was taken before Justice OF the Peace,
and held in one thousand dollars bond.
Later, and probably to-day, though the
dispatch does not state so, band OF
Nebraska men appeared, rescued the
watchman, captured the ~recking boat,
placed Mr.. Bedara, who was in charge
OF the wrecking party, under guard on
the boat, and took others OF the crew on
shore and placed them under guard.
Great excitement existed among the
friends of the thieves, a considerable
crowd of whom mad come in from the
country and dire vengeance was threat
ened to the crew of the wrecking boat.
At last accounts the Sheriff OF the coun-
ty had arrived and it was hoped that
quiet would soon be restored.
