No careful observer has ever failed
to see that the chief troubles and dis
appointments of the public schools
come from the employment of teachers
who have taken up the work merely to
earn a living, and not because they
have a natural aptitude for dealing
with varying natures and imparting
ideas. To lead and enlarge a young
mind requires peculiar tact and tenn
per, and not every person emerging
from normal school and carrying a
new certificate is fitted for the work.
There is not little good sense in this
paragraph from the London Globe :;
''For a man to be successful teacher
he must be sympathetic with boys;
there must linger within him an ever
juvenile element, en- rapport with their
modes of thought, sensible of their
prejudices and suspicious, abreast of
all those important discoveries for
sinking work TO which each genera
ton manages to add something new,
willing to see their individual struggles,
TO cheer on their ambitions and con-
dole their defeats"

CHOOSE WELL. - Never marry a
man who has only his love for you to
recommend him. That is very facin-
ating, but it does not make the man.
If he is not otherwise what he should
be, you will never be happy. The most
perfect man who did not love you
should never be your husbond but
though marriage without love is terri
bic, love only will not do. If this
man is dishonorable to other men, or
mean, or given to any vice, the time
will come when you will either loathe
him or sink TO his level. 1t is hard to
remember, amidst kisses and praises
that there is anything else TO be done
or thought Of but loyc-making; but the
days Of the life are many aud the Inns
band must be guide to be trusted-a
companion, a friend as well as a lover.
Many a girl has married a man whom
she knew to be anything but good,
"because he loved her So" And the
flames have died out on the hearth
stone of home before long, aud beside
it she had been sitting with one that

After the Sunday dinner, what ?
Well, IL depends. A person whose
brain is wearied with intellectual work
during the week, or whose nervous
system is exposed TO the strain Of bus
mess or professional life, ought 10
sleep, within an hour or two Of his
Sunday dinner, if he can. Ii is sur.
prising how much like a seven day
clock the brain will work, if the habit
ola Sunday nap be once formed. Ma
ture will take advantage of it as regu-
larly and gracefully as she does Of the
nightly sleep, aud do her best to make
up lost time. People on the other
hand whose week Of toll is chiefly
physically, may well give their minds
activity while their bodies are resting.
Two sermons and three or four hours
Of solid reading are the real rest to
some on Sunday, while to Others such
course amounts to as positive Sab.
bath breaking. Sunday is day of
rest, not of work, religious or other
wise. II is day for repose, not for
exhaustion. But what the dogmatists
on one side and the iliberal on the
other are apt to overlook, is the fact
that all men do not rest alike any more
than they labor alike, and what may
help to save one may aid in killing
another.

The Newspaper as an Educator

The newspaper the universal liter.
ature Of our people is itself becoming
literature Of knowledge and art. No
man could read habitually even one
Of our chief newspapers without an
immense opening Of his horizon Of
thought, a great quickening of his in.
tellect, and substantial relation with
the thought and feeling of the whole
world. The difference between man
who can read well enough to enjoy his
newspaper aud one who can not is
hardly to be estimated. ! suppose our
newspaper education is the most influ.
entail Of all in this country. But il
depends for its existence and its i'm
provemeut on the preparation for its
use and enjoyment made in our com.
mon schools. Ii rises in tone, spreads
in intellectual breadth, and increases
in moral purity as the reading class
becomes more numerous and varied.
II is a great mistake TO speak lightly
of newspapers. The press, | think,
has somewhat romantic and exag.
gerated idea of its supremacy ia Great
ing or leading public opinion, but in
its general educating influence, its
stimulous for thought, it has certain
tendency to create taste for better
reading than it can itself supply. |
do not believe it is easy to overrate its
national Importance. - Rev. DIR. II.

pawgj1o Human FLESH.

According TO writer in the Lagos
Times, Of February 22d, a human
pawn system exists in that colony.
IL appears that many persons whose
necessities compel them to borrow
money are in the habit of pawn
ing their children or rather relatives
10 the money-lenders of the colony,
who, instead Of being paid interest in
the usual manner, are able to use
these unfortunate creatures as slaves
until the loan is refunded, which may
not be for a series Of years. The in
habitant of Lagos who makes this
statement says: The pawn receives
not a fraction of payment for his toll.
Should he die before payment of the
loan is made, or should he desert his
master, a substitute is TO be provided.
This wicked slavery is practiced under
the eye of the British law, and some
times by persons calling themselves
Christians. The same writer states
that there are British subjects residing
in Lagos who serve on juries and per
form all duties Of citizenship, but who
yet are among the largest owners of
slaves in the neighboring territories,
and he saws that INSTANCES have been
known of these resident British sub.
jects converting theirslaves themselves,
or through their agents, into money to
meet their liabilities"

DELAYS in cnpitnL Cases.

That a check To criminal passions
and appetites which falls short of the
death penalty is inadequate as pre-
ventive history proves, we think, con-
clusively. But if the teriors of the
scafiold are TO exert their proper influ-
ences the criminally inclined must
have it impressed upon them that
retribution for murder falls quickly
and surely upon the murderous act.
As the matters now go the deed for
which a murderer is hanged is forgot.
ten by the time that he ascends the
scafold, and the average criminal
knows merely that a mans life has
been taken by the State and that the
punishment was probably imposed for
the crime of murder. The foul deed
for which Leighton suffered this morn
ing was committed very nearly two
years ago. To make the influence Of
the execution properly deterrent he
should have been hanged year and a
half ago. The interval wasted the
entire efficacy of the execution, and
the laws delays are responsible for
this comparatively useless, taking of
life Brooklyn Eagle.
