4 SUGGESTION TO TEACHERS.

II teachers mean by examination
To show the scholars information,
Why do they carefully seek out
Such difficult things to ask abouti
These are the questions. sc a rule,
The teachers ask as in our school:
Whats the time in the Congo state
When Persian clocks are striking eighty"
"Halve the square Of seventy three.
And what viii a tenth Of sixteen bsf"
What was the reason CharieF7agne
Sent his great grandaunt n Spalnt
"Exp lain what came Of the Gothic war,
And what tho Turks were fighting for
When Venice conquered Charles Martel,
And ancient COnstantnople fell
Name the products Of Peru.
And all the rulers OF Timbuctoo."
Point ont the errors ii the words:
Green chseses are not made Of curds;'
Him was not the friend of he
He hadn't ought TO written me. >"
Now. for instance, well suppose,
They wish 10 show Whist fellow knows;
Then they'll be glad OF a few suggestions
As to a set Of useful questions.

are laying upon themselves loads that
win impede their upward progress, and
possibly in some cases drag them to
ruin?
Here are young girls, for instance.
who are worn out by the winters work
or play, and who go to the country as
summer comes on to gain health and
strength.
They spend weeks in the preparation
of elaborate and costly costumes to
take with them. They load their
bodies with this snowy fnery and their
minds with anxiety a. to its effect. The
summer IS as laborious and exhausting
as the winter, and they return unre-

of them have ha bits of Stiffness, it may
be, or Of fretfulness, or of malicious

trivial to them. II is pleasant; they
can not bring themselves to put it
away; but it holds them back at every
step.
The Alps rise before every man in his
youth the heights of fame, of success,
of honor. But he has taste for liquor,
for exaggeration. for sharp dealing, FOR
some agreeable vice, or, it may be. for
nothing worse than indolent comfort.
Whatever it is, he does not give it up.
So at last in his climbing he slips
and falls, never to rise again. He car
ried weight.
In Bunyan's wonderful allegory Of
the passage of a struggling soul through
the world, the burden (which Christian
carried was not gross sin alone; it was
made up perhaps, of small failings and
weaknesses, harmful only because they
hindered him in his course.
