former, and that as q reformer he must en-
dure patiently the share of opposition that
generally falls to the lot of reformations
We know now of q section of one of our
most enlightened States where the introduce
ton into the public schools of History,
Grammar, and even Geography, is stoutly
and stubbornly resisted by patrons, and con-
sequently by pupils. Here is field for a re-
formation. We also know of teachers who
make point of seeking this class of schools,
in order that they may not be obliged to
study to keep up to their classes, as they
would be compelled to do were more advanc-
ed pupils in attendance. Here is another
field for reformation, this time the teacher
ought to be reformed. But we are stepping
little out OF our way, and will reserve other
illustrations for future time.
We would say to teachers, especially to
those of little experience, never quarrel, ar
que or contend noisily with pupil over a
matter of discipline, for by so doing you
bring yourself down to the lower plane of
the law-breaker and do just what he wishes
you to do, by contributing equally with him
to the disorder of your school. 1t is a well.
known characteristic of disputes that each
contestant tries to talk louder than his adver-
sary, and captious, turbulent boy or girl,
who has artfully succeeded in throwing the
master" off his guard will not, with kindred
spirits awaiting with the keenest interest the
result of the verbal fray, be likely to lose so
good an opportunity TO "spunk up" TO the
teacher. Many scenes, that would be ludi-
crous were they not disgraceful, occur in
school-rooms, not because of exceptional bad
ness in pupils, but simply the result of an al
most instructive propensity in children to
take advantage of any weak point in the tenn
permanent of the teacher We once saw
teacher draw his coat in the passion ola quar-
rel with boy, and the precipitation ola rough
and-tumble fight was averted only by the
superior calmness mot fright on the part of
the pupil. Another teacher in order to es-
tablish his claim to supremacy was in the
habit of informing his school that he was
"chief cook and bottle-washer" in that estab-
lishment. But this communication is grow
ing too lengthy, and we must reserve other
important points for another time.

Origin of Names,

1t is interesting to trace some surnames
back to their original meanings. The name
Latimer is writer of Latin; Barker is syn
onomous with tanner; Miner is an old form
of miller; Lander is a contraction of avan-
der, washerwoman; Bannister is the keep
er of bath; Tupman-a name familiar to
the readers of the "Pickwick Papers" means
a breeder of rams, which used to be called
"tups." The names Spinner, Tucker, Fuller
and Dyer are derived from the wool manu-
facture carried on by Flemish colonists, who
settled in New England. AS general rule,
says Mr.. Lower, all names terminating with
err indicate some employment or profession
er is believed to come from the Anglo-Saxon
wer, man. hence Sayter is saltman Miller,
millman; Webster is the old feminine form of
weber; Spinster of spinner; Brewster of
hrpwar

Disappearing Rivers.

One of the most singular features in the
scenery of the Territory of Idaho is the &C.
curence of dark, rocky chasms, into which
creeks and large streams suddenly disappear
and are never more seen. The assures and old
lava channels, produced by the outside of the
mass cooling and forming tube, which, when
the fiery stream was exhausted, has been left
empty, while the roof of the lava duct, having
at some point fallen in, presents there the
opening into which the river plunges and is
lost. AT one place along the Snake one of
into the torrent below. Where this stream has
its origin, or at what point it jsswallowed up,
is absolutely unknown, although it is believed
that its sources are long way up in the north
countries.

AT rHE END.

AT FIJI Il END.
The course of the weari est river
Ends in the great gray sea;
The acorn, for ever and ever,
Strives upward to the tree
The rainbow, the sky adjoining,
Shines promise through the storm;
The glimmer of coming morning
Through midnight gloom will form
By time all knots are riven,
Complex although they be,
And peace will at last be given,
Dear, both to you and to me.
Then, though the path may be dreary,
Look onward to the goal
Though the heart and head be weary,
Let faith inspire the SOUL
Seek the right, though the wrong be tempting;
Speak truth at any cost:
Vain is all weak exempting
When once the gem is lost.
Let strong hand and keen eye be ready
For plain and ambushed foes.
Though earnest and fancy steady
Bear best unto the close.
The heavy clouds may be raining,
But with evening comes the light;
Through the dark are low winds complaining,
Yet the sunshine gilds the height;
And love has its hidden treasure
For the patient and the poor,
And time gives his fullest measure
To the workers who endure;
And the Word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied,
For we know that when we awaken"
We shall be satisfied"

Fault Finding.

You have all heard the story of the paint
err of olden time who exposed his picture to
the public criticism, and put paint brush
handy that anybody might paint out any par
ticular feature he did not approve. Ofcourse
the stupid man soon found out that everybody
had some fault to find, and his picture was
totally obliterated. Just as it was with that
artists pictures so it is with the life work of The
majority. Somebody will be pretty sure to
take a crooked and distorted view of our char
acters and doiDgs, however meritorious they
may be. Some will do this willfully and ma
liciously, others through misunderstanding.

however, 20 be one of the lost arts. A most
striking illustration of the fact came to my no
tice few days ago. A young girl was showing
"a beautiful table cover. The entire back ground
was of darned work, and the design was ex-
quisitely embroidered. What a fine needle
woman must this maiden be, I thought: how

always said that the excellent darn decided the

is certainly OF great Importance in household

much neglected by those who would find it
most profitable. If schools were to devote three
| or TOUR hours each week TO teaching sewing and
| darning, great and good work would be accom-
plished. Sewing plays so prominent a part In
| domestic affairs that IL ought to receive far
more attention. 1t would be a good plan to form
classes in the public schools, under the guidance

account of Cover:
