HOPE REvIvES.

The woman with the child looks at her
watch. She fears losing boat or train.
The man with the turkey is of all the
most resigned. His face is vacancy.
Time to him seems of no object. lie is

and yon, growing, cursing, ordering.
But the block is immovable.

1t is. We have moved half block. The

pie stop on the curb and gaze stupidity at
us. We get even and gaze stupidity at

ments in the car. A load of iron bangs
and clangs past. Then load of hay.
Then one of cotton. The woman and the
child get out. The man with the turkey
is immovable. Is he, like the rest of us,
consumed with anxiety and impatience,
or has he the power of projecting his
mind into some region of thought that he
can forget this irksome delay? We count

A STREET CAR BLOCK.
ONE OF THE EXPERIENCES or
LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY.

What Waiting Passenger Saw from the
Car Window-The Imperturbable Man
with the Turlxey-A Hard Working.
Cherries worid-Moving On.
The car has stuck in Greenwich street.
We are aground. The indications are not
favorable for soon getting off. The driver
gets off the platform TO look ahead So
does the conductor When these worthics
leave their posts be sure you are to re-
main in statu quo for some time. We
take an observation. The track is blocked
for quarter of mile ahead. The drivers
Immediately ahead are off their perches
also. Another bad sign. We commend
our souls to patience. The more uneasy
passengers gaze through the front car
door window. There are ten of us. A
woman and child, a countryman, stout
man with turkey tied m a paper bag. a
girl and stout lrishman. The rest are
simply of the human species, with nothing
particular to recommend them.
The driver mounts tho platform The
car moves. We are off. The block is
over. Hope rises. The car moves six
inches. And stops disoally. Hope fails
We move no more. Carts, wagons and
carriages rattle, roar and ruclxle over the
stones on either side of us, one line up,
the other line down. By us are passing
the manufactures of New York, the pro-
duce of the country and the product of
other lands. Down a load of sewing
machines incased in wooden frames. Up
load of coal. Down load of new fur
niture cased in bagging. Up load Of
apples. Down load of flour. Ahead of
us in the block wagon piled high with
dry goods boxes. Up load of long oars.
Down, potatoes. Up, turnips. Then a
load of beef quarters. Up piano.

Education is a companion that no misfortune
can depress, no cline destroy, no enemy ALLEVIATE,
no despotism e%nslave; at home a friend, abroad
an introduction, in society an ornament, in soil
tude a solace. 1t chastens vice, guides virtue,
and gives at once grace and government to genius.
Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a
reasoning savage, vacillating between the dignity
Of an intelligence derived from God and the
degradation of passions participated by brutes.

Public schools ought to teach children to love
their country. This obligation is particularly ur-
gent at such a time as this, when there are so
many coming among us whose prime interest in
this country is a good deal like the interest with
which a burglar regards the bank he is trying to
crack, or that a lawyer feels in the estate he is at
tempting to settle. One of the most solemn
questions an American can put to himself is
whether we have sufficient national vitality to
assimilate, to Americanize, all the adventurous
material that is now being thrown into the national
mass. If ever a nation was in danger of dying of
dyspepsia, ours is Rev. DR.. Parkhurst.

HUMBLE TEACHERS.

On the whole, / have been more indebted to a
class of men who wrote no books, and of whom
the world never heard, who were mostly unfor-
%tunate, and lived and died more or less under a
cloud, but who made a deeper mark on me than
people thought to be of infinitely more Importance.
One of my first and, as | still think, greatest
teachers was a grocer, generally struggling with
monetary difficulties and getting bills renewed
an enthusiast filed with the love both of nature
and of art, who introduced me to Ruskin and in
doctrinated me with Tennyson, and would have
made a botanist and a musician of me if the thing
had been at all practicable. 1t was in him to
have written great books, but he never did, I'M
less l may be accepted as a living epistle of his,
and that would not be a great book. From him,
and such as him, | received the chief fashioning
touches when still in the clay stage, not, | think,
from books Rev. Walter c. Smith, in Great
Thoughts.

GIRLS WHO CAN MAKE THEIR OWN WAY.

Did girls get from childhood the same business
training as boys, and were it clearly understood in
all families that it is not a credit but a discredit
for women to be idle, to hang helpless on the men
instead of doing their own work, and, if necessary,
earning their own living, we believe society would
not be the worse but the better for the change.
Men would find out that the more they elevate
women the greater use they get out of them. If
instead of a man working himself to death for his
unmarried daughters, and then leaving them ig-
ANONYMOUSLY dependent upon male relatives, he
educated them to independence, made them able
both to maintain and protect themselves, it would
save him and them a world of unhappiness. They
would cease to be either the rivals-a very hope
less rivalry-or the plaything first, and then the
slave, of men, and become, as was originally in
tended, their c~o-mates, equal and yet different,
each sex supplying the others deficiencies, and
therefore fitted to work together, and not apart,
for the good of the world The Forum.

els are weekday sermons, and their writer's week

and good company, and l like that canon. Things
have come to a bad pass with us when we SNUG

tiers or the wife and children will see them. My
best and truest manhood bids me wash my hands
in innocency when | read a novel. | count it for
pure worth that / early learned to read Charles
Kingsley's stories, and read them still. They are
as healthy as his Devonshire moors, and braclng
as a splendid winters day. And do not agree
with Mr.. Taine, that our steadfast i%nsistence on
clean stories in England and America is only a
mask Frenchmen disdain to wear. | tell you it IS
the faith of men who propose to stand by the ten
commandments, the instinct of the nations which
are ~clasping hands to reach round the world and
it is the rule l would commend to you, and the in
stinct above all others. 1t is not healthy or
wealthy or wise to sit up late or rise up early read
ing novels in which the main end OF life in the
hero seems to be to commit a murder, and IN the
heroine to blunder into bigamy."

CATECHISM FOR THE 800.

What is a teacher?
A teacher is one who works hard in classroom
Installing, or attempting to instil, knowledge into
the heads of stupid children.
What is an educator?
An educator is a man who talks theory, but
does no work.
If an educator does no work, how then does he
subsist?
He is paid a large annual salary for c~riticising
the work of the teacher when it is defective, and
taking all the credit when the work is excellent.
Name some of the varieties of educators.
City, county, and state superintendent, and in
many cases presidents of normal schools and prin-
cipals in large cities.
Are not the positions which educators may fill
rather limited in number?
The number of such positions has greatly in
creased within twenty years. We hope, however,
to see the day when our large cities will have
superintendent of arithmetic, reading, statistics,
discipline, ventilation, and other specialties all
drawing large salaries.
Will we not then need a superintendent of
superintendent?
The position now exists in fact, but not in
name. These positions will only be multiplied.
Describe the manner in which the average edu-
Gator puts in his time.
: 1t is principally incumbent on him to maintain
the dignity Of the profession by looking wise, and
insisting that educators should be better paid.
He belongs to a state teachers association, where
he reads papers and talks l%earnedly.
What is a state teachers association?
A mutual admiration society of educators.
What qualifications should an educator possess?
None are absolutely necessary. Indeed, many
of our leading educators owe their advancement
wholly to an ability to look wise and appear deep.
An educator, however, who is a good talker and
knows psychology, and other large words, has
success assured.
What finally becomes of the teacher?
He gets into trouble with the directors children.
An educator is called in, who explains how easily
progressive teachers may avoid such difficulties,
and advises the district to hire one.
What becomes of the educator?
He is called to a wider field of usefulness, with
a larger salary attached.
What should we aim to be?
Educators! prolonged applause. )-[W. j.

During the past spring and summer very
