THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.

Oh, wonderful stream is the river Time,
As it runs through the realm of tears.
With a faultless rhythm and musical
rhyme,
And a bOundless sweep and a surge sub
lime,
AS it blends with the Ocean of Years.
How the winters are drifting, like fakes
of snow,
And the summers like buds between;
And the year in the sheaf, so they come
and they go
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and
flow,
AS it glides in the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up the river Time,
Where the softest airs are playing;
There's cloudless sky and tropical
cline,
And a song as sweet as vesper chime,
And the June with the roses is staying.
And the name of the isle is the Long
Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms
of snow,
There are heaps of dust-but we leave
them So
There are trinkets and tresses of hair
There are fragments of song that nobody
sings,
And part OF an infants prayer;
There's a lutte unswept and harp with
out strings;
There are broken vows and pieces of
rings,
And the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when
the fairy shore
By the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear, through the
turbulent roar,
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone
before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remembered for aye be the blessed
All the day of our life till night;
When the evening comes with its oeau-
tiful smile.
And our eyes are closed to slumber
awhile.
Nay that &c -"enwood'' of soul be in
sight.

Vacation Work.

Teachers, it is now nearing vaca-
ton. How will you spend those
months, in better preparing yourself
for the grand work of teaching or in
doing nothing?
There are many good normal schools
which you can all attend by making
an effort. If possible attend one of
these, where you will be much bene-
fitted by association with your fellow
teachers, besides learning the ideas
and methods of the masters of our
profession. This investment will
pay large dividend, as you can do
more work and better work with less
effort. This will soon bring you into
better position, as real good teach
ers can always secure good positions.
If this cannot be done, write to
some good publishing house for a
catalogue of teachers books; see what
books you can obtain on your work
and map YOU out i course of reading
to do at home. Swett's Methods Of
Teaching ard Baldwin's School Man
agement are two good books which
it woald be we'll to read first, and
which every teacher should know as
well as he knows his arithmetic.
Prepare yourselves for your work.

ton is a prerequisite for teaching"

Seven Laws of Teaching.

1. Know thoroughly and familiarly

l. Know thoroughly and familiarly
whatever you would teach.
2. Gain and keep the attention Of
your pupils and excite their interrNtt

3. Use language which your pupils

4. Begin with what is clearly knoaon
and proceed to the unknown by easy
and natural steps.
5. Excite the self-activities of the
pupils and lead them to discover the
truth for themselves.
6. Require pupils to relate fully
and correctly, in their own language
and with their own proofs and illus
trations, the truth taught them.

As will be seen by comparison Of
these figures the average yield where
10 fertilizer was used is 2o25 pounds.
An application OF 200 pounds acid
phosphate per acre gave an increased
yield of sol pounds and an applica-
ton of 200 pounds acid phosphate
and 100 pounds kainit gave an IN
crease of 6l3 pounds. But i have
already taken too much of your
space; those interested can study the
figures and make comparisons.
The experiments this year will be
to plant the plat used last year with
out any fertilizer to ascertain whe-
ther or not the fertilizers last the

amounts of fertilizers per acre. i
know, Mr.. Editor, that alvice to
farmers is generally thrown away,
but after careful study of the situa-
tion in the South, West and in
Europe, have formed the following
conclusions:
|. Tha. cotton will sell at low
price for years to come.
.. That bacon will be high for at
leas: two years.
3. That corn will sell at from 10
cents to I'll per bushel, when We can
raise it for 25 cents and less.
4. That the low price of flour will
not continue indefinitely.
5. That as We will be compelled to
take I cents or less for our cotton,
we should prepare to raise it for .
cents or less. We cannot control the
selling price, but we can reduce the
cost, and the time to begin is right
now; cut off few acres of cotton
and put it in corn and be ready to
feed some hogs next year. Sow four
acres to the plow in wheat next fall,
and if you raise your own flour, corn
and bacon, what need will You have
to spend money or use credit? and
how cheap can you raise cotton.

a strong movement is being made
in Georgia to inaugurate system of
village farming The idea of the
Village farm" is that all the resi-
dences of number of contiguous
farms, embracing tract of country
say FIVE miles square, should be
grouped into "a village somewhere
near the center of the tract. Each
residence could have enough ground
about it for its outhouses, barns, gar
den, ETC., and yet they would be near
enough together to avoid the desc
late solitariness of farm life. The
advantages of the arrangement in
the way of schools, stores, social
amusements, religious advantages,
ETC., are too manifest to make it nee
essary to enumerate them. The ad-
option of the system in the rural dis
tricts of Georgia has been strongly
advocated by Gov. Northern and
other prominent people.

Fractions.

| A class of twenty were requested
to bring small sticks. Nothing was
said to them about what was to be
done with them. Every one brought
their sticks. Each was asked to
break stick into two equal parts.
This all did accurately after one CT
two trials. The following questions
were asked then: Hold up.one piece.
How much is that? Can you write
it on the board? Hold up the other
piece. How much is that? Can
YOU write 1t on the board? How
many halves will one thing make ?
Can you write J plus J on the board ?
How many whole ones will % make ?
Numerous examples like this were
given them. Then they required
to add . and 81, and many such
problems, involving only whole num-
bers and halves. The sticks were
then broken into thirds and treated
in the same manner as tn" halves; so
with fourths. They were not allowed
to leave halves until they thoroughly
understood them; so with thirds and
four,hs. Fifths were omitted. The
sticks could not be easily and accu-
ratelv divided into sixths, so circle
was drawn on the board, and divided
by The radius into six equal parts.
This taught them geometry as well
as arithmetic. By continued efforts
they learned to do this easily
and accurately From this they
learned that 1=G-G, 6-6-1, 6-6=3-3
-44=2-2-l, 2-6=1-3, 1-3=2-e,
4-6=2-3, 2-33=4-6, 3-6=l-2, L.
3-6-2-4. BY dividing the sixths
into equal parts they obtained
twe!:ths, and learned that 1=12-12
=6-6=4-4=3-3-2-2, . 12=1-6, 3-12
If, 1-4=3-12, 1-3=2-5=4-12.
When this was learned they could,
after little practice, add anything
containing halves, thirds, fourths,
sixths and twelfths, which is no lit
tie thing for child to do. They do
this without going through a long
process of finding common denomi-
nator. They see at glance what is.
This is an accurate description OF
part of the work done by a class Of
small children since January. 1t
was my first trial, and has delighted
me as well as the children. Often
they would say, "Please let us work
half an hour longer" and ii | granted
their little eyes would CLEAN with
delight. Ii you have had any trou-
bic in teaching fractions to children,
try this.
