An expert and experienced official In an in
sane asylum said to us little time since that
these institutions are filed with people who
have given up to their feelings, and that no
one is quite safe from an insane asylum who
allows himself TO give up to his feelings The
importance Of this fact is too little appre-
ciated, especially by teachers We are al
ways talking about the negative virtues of
discipline, but we rarely speak OF the posi-
tive virtues. We discipline the schools to
keep the children from mischief to maintain
good order, to have things quiet, to enable
the children 20 study. We saw, and saw
rightly, that there cannot be good school
without good discipline. We do not, how
ever, emphasize as we should the fact
that the discipline of the school, when
rightly done, is as vital TO the fu-
ture good of the child as the les
sons he learns. Discipline of the right kind
Is as good mental training as arithmetic 1t
is not Of the right kind unless il requires in
tellectual effort, mental conquests. Tho ex-
perienced expert, referred 10 above, was led
to make the remark to us by seeing a girl
give way TO the "sulks" THAT makes in.
sane women" she remarked, and told the
story of woman in an asylum, who used to
sulk until she became desperate and the ex-
pert said! "You must stop it you must con-
troll yourself To which the insane woman
replied "The time to say that was when
was girl never controlled myself when
/ was well, and now | cannot" The teacher
has a wider responsibility, a weightilr dis
ciplinary duty than she suspects. The pupils
are not only TO he controlled but they must
be taught to control themselves absoln lntely,
honestly, completely, y,-Journal OF Education.

A STORY OF LINCOLN.


Remarkable Parsonage at the white
House--A Very Comical Sequel.
One day man Of remarkable appearance
presented himself ut the White House and
requested an audience with Mr. Lincoln. He
was large, fleshy man, of stern but homeiy
countenance, and of a solemn and dignified
carriage He was dressed in a neatly fitting
swallow tail coat, rufiled shirt of faultless
fabric, white cravat and orange coiored
gloves. An imm ,nse fob chain, TO which
was attached huge topaz seal, swung from
his watch pocket, and he carried large gold
headed cane. His whole appearance was that
of man of great intellect, of stern qualities,
of strong piety and of dignified uncomeliness.
81 am in for it now" thought the presi.
dent. "This pious man means business He
is no common preacher. Evidently his
gloomy mind is big with a scheme of no ordi-
nary kind The ceremony of introduction
was unusually formal and the few words Of
conversation that followed were constrained.
The good man spoke with great deliberation,
us if feeling his way cautiously, but the evil
dent restraint which his manner imposed upon
Mr.. Lincoln seemed not to please him The
sequel was amazing.
Quitting his chair the portly visitor ex-
tended his hand to Mr.. Lincoln, sayihg, as
the latter rose and confronted him: "Well,
MT. PRESIDENT, 1 nave no business WITH you,
none whatever. / was at the Chicago con-
vention as friend of Mr. s ward / have
watched you narrowly ever since your in
auguration and l called merely to pay my
respects. What l want to say is this:
think you are doing everything for the good
of the country that is in the power of man to
do, You are on the right track As one of
your constituents l now say to you, do il
future as you d-n please, and will sup
port your This was spoken with tremen-
do s effect.
"Why," said Mr.. Lincoln, ia great aston
ishment, u took you to be preacher. I
thought you had come here to tell me how to
take Richmond. And he again grasped the
hand of his strange visitor. Accurate and
penetrating as Mr.. Lincolns Judgment was
concerning men, for once he had been wholly
mistaken. The scene was comical in the ex-
treme. The two men stood gazing at each
other A smile broke from the lips of the
solemn wag and rippled over the wide ex-
panse of his homely face like sunlight over
spreading a continent, and Mr. Lincoln was
convulsed with laughter.
'Sit down, my friend,r said the president;
sit down am delighted to see you Lunch
with us today. Yes, you must stay and
lunch with us, my friend, for have not seen
enough of you yet" The stranger did lunch
with Mr.. Lincoln that day. He was a man
of rare and racy humor, and the good cheer,
the wit, the anecdotes and sparkling CONVEX
sation that enlivened the scene was the work
of two of the most original characters ever
seen in the White House.-Ward IL. Lamon
