The Girl Who Teaches.

Sound health is prime necessity for
any worker in the world, no matter
what the limo of work may be, but IL be-
comes of the greatest Importance IL the
work is to he carried on i'll the school
room, writes Caroline Is. LIE Row, in the
September Ladies' Home Journal.
There not only the physical, but the
nervous and mental forces are taxed TO
their utmost. The young graduate has
hitherto gone to school TO sit comfort
ably at her desk; TO stand occasionally
for ROTATIONS; to use her voice but lit
tie; to have constant variety in her
work; to enjoy her recess with perfect
freedom and In cOngenial companion
ship. AS teacher she goes to school to
stand upon her feet all day long, to use
her voice necessarily, perhaps, too, in
largo room filled with the tumult of the
street; to keep noisy, and, very likely,
rebellious and disobedient children not
only quiet, but Interested, and to spend
the recess in care of them in the halls
and the yard. Besides this she is to
stimulate their brains, and a certain
amount of time-usually prescribed by a
board of education, the members OF
which know little of the capacity and
possibilities of the youthful minds
allotted her, in which she must, some-
how or other, succeed in teaching them
a certain number of facts-no allowance
being made for the sl0wness, stupidity,
or disorder, which increases the friction
of the work and delays the doing. No
matter how complete the education,
or how enthusiastic the spirit, the
power for physical endurance is abso-
lutely necessary.

Ihe Minister on the Farm.

Amidst the roughest rural scenes
would have every American pastor
spend his summer, all through until
this month of September, writes DIR.
Talmage in The Ladies Home journal.
Congregations would be adVantaged
by il if for a few weeks of every year
they would allow their pastors little
farin-life. Three weeks at fashion,
able water-place will not do the work.
There is not enough salts and sulphur
in all the springs to overcome the tight
shoes, and the uncomfortable gloves,
and the late hours, and the high living,
and the dresses economical at the neck.
Rather turn US out TO physical work.
A sharp hoe will hack to pieces all your
dyspepsia. A pruning-knife will cut
oil the eXcrescenceS of your disposition.
The dash of the shower that vets you
to the skin will cool your spirit for &C.
olesiastioal strife. Daily swinging of
tho axe will tone up your nerves.
Tramping down the hay as it is tossed
into the NOW will tread into forgetful-
ness your little perplexities. In the
wake of the plough you may pick up
strength with which To battle public
iniquity. NeighbOrs looking over the
fence may think we are only wedding
canteloupes, or splitting rails, or husk
ing corn, when we are rebuilding our
strength, enkindling our spirits, purify
ing our theology, and blessing our
souls.

Gard from Sanator Polk.

EDITOR HERALD:-I see that you
say In your paper that Messrs. Cor
dOn, Cyrus, aud Aiken are opposed 10
the Worlds Fair Appropriation, anu
that IL would tear myself away from
the influence of the Commercial Club
long enough 10 20 to Maury, would
find out what were the wishes OF my
constituents.
gave my views about the apprO-
priatIOn for that purpose very plainly
ON tho floor OF the Senate. L was
chairman OF the committee 10 which
the bill was referred, and used every
ehdeavOr to have the bill reported
for rejection by the Senate. L have
heard nothing since 10 show that
Inisrepresented my people in 80 DOING
though 81 received for myself con-
siderable abuse in various newspapers
in East Tennessee.
What you mean by your reference
to the Commercial Club, 1 do not
know. The only connection 1 have
ever had with that body was When IL
was opposing, at the dictAtiOn o. the
Louisville aud Nashville lobbyist
Stahlman, every endeaVOr / made to
secure relief for the people from the
burdens imposed by the unrestrained
power Of corporations. Stanlman
informed me that for my course i'll
that matter he would take money anu
defeat me when ran again. told
him publicly that l did not know
whether l should ever run again, but
that any future remarks OF that kllld
would compel me to take him by the
car and kick him out Of the capitol.
We have had no further intercourse.
I consider it my duty as their
representative not only 20 execute the
will of my people but to keep my
self informed as TO what that VIII Is.
. I have received no intinaJion 30 far
that have failed.
The only other question OF imPor-
tauce before the extra session Will De
the proposed change of the lease sys-
tenn. am opposed To amy action ie-
ing taken which will lead to All i'll
crease of taxation to keep the con-
Victs in idIeness. Up to this time /
have seen no plan suggested 10y which
the cOnvicts can be made to work IL
support themselves without coming
in competition with labor of some
sort. Mining interferes as little a.
any. / think q great reduction IN eX-
pense to the State and in stealing
could be made by giving magistrates
power to punish for small Offenses
such as petty larceny, aud making
the penalty q given number of lashes
The expenses of Indictment by the
grand jury, and confinement in the
penitentiary would thus be saved AND
/ think it would be far better for the
criminal himself who could go home
and support his family, with All aoid'
ing terror of the law. The average
negro has no fear OF the penitentiary
ba cares nothing for the disgrace, and
often he goes into that school 'of vice
a petty thief and comes out an enemy
OF society, ready to commit burglary
or murder.
AS others may wish to know my
views on these subjects will be muct
Obliged il you will publish this letter
Yours truly, VAN POLK.

ALLIANCE RESOLUTIONS.
Adopted by The Columbia Ninth Dis
trlct) Farmers and LabOrers

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Columbia Farmers
aud Laborers' Union ut meeting
held in this city last Saturday:
WHEREAS, The Farmers and La
bOrers' Union Was organized for the
purpose set forth in the constitution
of the order as follows:
l. To the labor of the education OF the
agricultural masses in the science of
economical government, in a strict non
partisan spirit, and to bring about a
more perfect union of said classes.
2. We demand equal rights to all and
special faVOrS to none.
3, To endorse the motto: In things
essential, unity; and i'll all things chart
4. To develop a better state, mentally
morally, socially and financially.
8. To constantly strive to secure entiI Q
harmony and good will to all mankind
and brOtherly love among ourselves.
@. To suppress personal, local, sec
tiOnal and national preJudices, all un-
healthy rivalry and selfish ambition.
z. In the spirit of the brOatiest charity
and the kindest human sympathy and
vital fraternity, We should ever recog
niZe our obligation to relieve distress
when in our power; to aS5uag3 the suf-
ferings of brothers ami sisters; to care
| for the widow; to educate the orphans,
and to follow III our lives the golden
rule.
8. Finally, we pledged ourselves to
defend the principles OF our Ordor
| throughout our lives, for its laws are
| founded on reason and equity; its car
dinal doctrines incite To purity OF
thought and life; its intention is to de-
Velop higher aud nobler manhood and
wonanhOOd as the end of our being, and
to promote "On earth peace and good
| will to men,"
And, whereas, we believe that peace
and prosperity will follow and bless oui
strict adherence to these principles, and
that discord and disappointment and
strife will result from all departures
| from these principles.
| And, whereas, our union was eStab-
! lished as above declared for StrictlJ
nOn-partisan purposes, and all efforts to
ally The union to new POLITICAL party
violates the spirit and purpose OF Oul
union as declared In our constitution
| Therefore be it resolved by the Column

Maury County, as follows:
First. We deprecate and hereby eN
| press our displeasure ut all Efforts Il

and dOings of all persons who attempt
to organize Third Party for politica
Third. We declare ourselves opposed
to the suh-rreaSury scheme rs being g
species of class legislation and contrary
| to our constitutional declaration o.
"equal rights to all and special favor tC
nome"
Fourth. We believe in free speech an {
| full discussion, therefore we advocate
hearing both sides in all public discuss
| ions.
Fifth. That these resolutions be-
printed in our county. papers.

The Mnlionaire,s Daughter at School.

The MilliOnaire's Daughter at School.
Even in schools that refuse to ac-
cept girls unless there is a reasonable
chance of their getting through II
year, it is not unusual for one third 10
be entered by their parents with the
warming that their daughters are deli
cate aud will need special considera-
ton and watching-a warning In all
probability followed by the request
that they shall not be bothered
with mathematics" These weakly
ones, if their mothers leave them
alone, and if they themselves become
interested in their work, by dint OF
three or four extra hours for rest ana
exercise, manage to hold out through
the year, and frequently end it in i'm
proved health. But unless these two
conditions are fulfilled they often fall
by the way. Nervousness, backache,
weakness, loss of appetite, generally
follow soon upon the realization that
school means work. A hard lesson
to be mastered lays girl low with a
headache, or dissolves her in Hoods
of tears. Tears, indeed, especially
during the first part of the year, are
of daily DOWNFALL. Tears bedew
knotty problems, tears greet the re-
fusal to allow boxes of candy, tears
fall copiously when overshOes are in-
sisted upon and when short fur capes
are declared insufficient covering for
zero weather. Moreover, let the fun
run bit too high, or mischievous
boy tap on the window in the oven
ing, or mouse suddenly appear, and
only dose of plain English and the
valerian bottle prevent an epidemic
of Mysteries.
