A r«w Words on a Worn-oat Subject.
Hiere in sometimes a r«»tnpl&int that the
primary brunches ol education are too
mucli neglected l<\ teachers. I'reijuefitly
there art- jus! ground* lor it. Spoiling is
an attainment so <11(1 it*u11 to net111 ii<• ami ho
j*a "v neglected m many schools that p< <■

) . »«pH most petxms would Iiinl it as diili
*ult to write a I• • tf«• t ol one or two pages
containing eoncctlv *p«*ll»-«l words without
aid from a dictionary or from any other
source as they would to obtain an uuriis
puted title to land III I exas
Tin' art o! leading properlv and grace
tu 11\ is so Irrijuentlv iH'CehMirv ho credible
to 11h possessor and so pleasing to the
auditor that tin* little illt*-ntloft it receives ill
inatiN schools ih a matter of surprise. The
tillie allotted to it is g-'lierallv too limited
and even then the scholars are allowed to
mumble over their exercises in a hurried
manner some in a whining Miugimn.fr
some in a monotonous drawl or nasal twang
and others with tin- guttural note of a tur-
ke\ gobbler while the teacher is perhaps
attending to something else. ( luldren \\ ill
naturally fall into a monotonous tone an
unvaried as the eternal roar ol a waterfall;
and instead <»l reading poetrv will sing it
unless prevented h\ the constant attention
ol the instructor who is frctpienth no great
proficient himself' iu this important branch
of education.
I have known boys of one or two year's
progress in Latin who could hnrdl) have
told the difference between the north pol.i
and a bean pole between the equinoctial
line and a fishing line between a perch of
land and a pearch of the waterv world or
between the drachm ol an apothecary or
the dram of a toper.
Teachers derive more pleasure honor
and profit from teaching the " higher
branches ' I •> what extent these induce
incuts operate to cause a neglect of the
lower liranch •*. others can decide.
\ want ol thoroughness in a teacher is
sometimes to be attributed to his desire of
making his course conform to the w ishes ol
his patrons.
\ judicious instructor is aware that but
few 811 bj' CN should be presented to the tell
tier mind at a tune and when these are un
tb rstood his labors are not ended. l'he\
should be firml\ impressed on the mint! ol
the pupil b\ constant drilling and review
ing. I his rctpiiies so much time that tie*
scholar's progress ia apparently slow It
this course sh"iild be pursued mnn\ parents
would wrong!.} conclude that their chil-
dren are deriving but little advantage from
the school and th< \ would be disposed to
complain ol their slow impiovemet.t

A YANKEE STORY.
About half punt eleven oclock on Sun-

The beauteous maid descended with a

in the cooking stove and the hap;>\ cou-

of true love ran no smoother in old bur-
berry's kitchen than it does elsewhere and
Joe who was just making up lus mind to
treat himsell to a ki*s was startled by the
voice of the deacon her father shouting
from his chamber door: —" Sally! what

wan ridiculous nay more it was ungeners
ous ami mean m the citizens of I)——— to
keep watch and ward over the grave of one
whom they knew not save as a stranger
passing through ami dying in their town.
So with an experienced party of four he-
side our trusty old driver Imoittrustv wh#n
most drunk) we set mi} at an early hour in
the evening our object being to do our
work and get aw ay before the guard reach
ed the spot at about '.I o'clock. In this we
succeeded. The grave was left as we
found it : ami so artfully had every thing
been replaced that had we left live minutes
sooner. no suspicion would ever have been
excited. Hut alas ' we had gone but a lit

heard tin* tramp ol horses in pursuit. < >1«I

ami. ah we had reason to suspect all well
armed. There was no alternative; we
must be overtaken. How to " save the bo
ily " was the <|ueetion \ quarter of a mile
ahead we were to turn a corner in the road.
I.ving in that corner was a recently clears
ed tii-ld with many stumps of trees remain-
ing which offered some chances lor con

the wagon taking the " subject " with u*.
while II drove more slowly around

had mounted upon a high stump and with

Of course I maintained a strict reserve as
