That the fighting was done on the

Except that which followed on the

That both sides were vastly outnum-

That each side lost the most men
That it was only a reconnaissance in

That it was merely skirmish--
That every body in America was

That nobody was there
That there was no Battle of Shiloh
That there was a pow erful sight more

That the fiercest charge was made

And on the steps of the Capitol gave a

And crowed for the promise, bright as gold

And when the sun riz up that day, it warm

And | sez to myself, We're thar at last, with

And burned ef | don't believe, by gum,

Six terms we stayed thar long ago, and did
our duty well,
And, though some men were rotten then,

But we will kinder have to disinfect the place,

That rolled thy finely frenzied eye
In visions of Intinity:
That fed thy jack o. lantern brain
With phOsphor from the radiant train
That nightly tramps the stellar plain,
And clapped the brakes on PhGbus's car
one morning in the blue afar,
To "hitch thy wagon to starr"
Oh, Shade Of Concord, was it pie
That bore thy soul SO loftily:
That made thee spare with gentle ruth
All sons of men who love the truth,
Who sCorn the sneer and loathe the sham
That fill thee with noble hate
Of hpyOcrites who modulate
Each sacred chant
Into their cant,
And Snivel forth each joyous psalm:
Prophet and Poet, Fool most wise,
Who toss this gewgaw to the skies,
And feel, while blink our dazZled eyes,

VARIETY IN TEACHING,

Our minds are so constituted as to
demand change of employment. The
principle is an inherent of child mind,
because of the fitting nature of the
young mind. 1t is often argued against
a boy or girl, that he or she can't
''stick" to anything long at time.
Why, deprecate that in children, which
is plainly seen in older people? An
other infallible tenet of the mind,
change OF occupation, rests the mind.
Continued thinking in Us wearisome Oh
the mind and body, AS continued phys
ical labor is wearisnme to the body.
We, as teachers, too often require COM
tinued application on the part of pupils;
do we think when doing this that pu-
pills sometimes tire of one kind of Ia
the perceptive faculties, render less
acute the entire thinking mind. A
very simple remedy, and one which
can be put in practice by any teacher,
is to call the attention of the pupils
present to some current event, some
object of the natural world, something
which is familiar to most of them.
Talk to your pupils on this topic for
time. Another time let yonr topic be
something of an entirely different ma
ture.
Moral tone may be gained, in u man
ner imperceptibly to both teacher and
pupil, by an occasional anecdote of
some great and good man. Again, va
riety is demanded ia regular school
work. / have little respect for the
ability of "a teacher who goes along
hearing class $ and imparting iDstruc-
tions each day, in the same way as on
the previous day. Change of method
imparts vivacity and life to n dull class.
Model after successful teachers, model
after plans of your own, but don't let
your plan be one and one only.

Commenting on the defeat of the
militia appropriation, the Republican
says: Missouri does not intend to sbe
controlled by Communists and Social
ists." Certainly not. The defeat re-
ferred to can be fairly interpreted only
as rebuke to the uncalled-for militia
demonstration against the peaceable
aud laW-abiding strikers at Sedalia.
The next militia bill proposed should
contain prOvisO that State troops are
not to be, like Pinkerton's men, held
subject to the call of railroad COM
pany or its attorneys, and liable to be
ordered out at midnight and sent
against peaceful labOrers at a place
where all the city and county officers
say there is not the slightest symptom
OF riot or resistance to legal process. 1t
will be long time before the people
of Missouri can be educated up to the
point of taXiug themselves to MAIN
tain militia system for any such uses
The domination of railroad attorneys
IS not whit more popular than that
of Communists and Socialists in this
State, and the Democratic ideal of a
militia force is of one that can be called
out only on the requisition of the prop
er officers, to enforce the laws when
the resistance is too formidable to be
overcome by the ordinary police and
the Sheriff's posse. All the popular
to militia system arises
from the frequent blunders that have
been witnessed in the use of military
force in various parts of the Union since
the war. 1t would be easy to Undue
our people with the great truth affirm
ed in our National Constitution, that
"a well-regulated militia is necessary
to the security Of free State" But
we must first show them that "a we'll
regulated militia" is one operating un-
der laws that provide ample safeguards
against premature and improper re-
sort to military force.-Post Dispatch.
