A MORNING TONIC.
CDR. Lyman Abbott.)

Had the eloquence of an orator would
like to pay the tribute that is due to the
great army of teachers who are pur-
suing their work, often with little sal

energies and activities by the great ma
chine of which they are part, and which

ought to have. ! would like to pay
tribute to them-the sainthood OF AM
erica; il it be not accompanied with the
cross worn on the bosom, it deserves the
crown given by the people.
