THE MAY-PLOWER PARTY, BY OUR REPORTER, JOHN QUILL, WHO, IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS rUSII NATURE, JUMPED RIGHT INTO TUE MIDDLE OF THINGS, QUITE OVERLOOKING THE AD DRESSES, AND TAKING NOTE ON LY OF THE LIGHT, AIRY EVENTS, AS THEY CAME TO HIS EYE AND EAR. It was a bright and beautiful May-day in the "Wood's," where the Flowers had assembled to en joy the first pie-nic of the season. Little, blue-eyed Forget-me-not tripped along, her eyes sparkling an.d her face glowing with sun shine, as she bowed, chatted, and laughed at every one ; for there was quite a gathering already in tie grove. Mr. Laurel and Widow Myrtle, Miss Anemone and her cousin Iepatica, and Mr. and Mrs. Pinxs ter, and Miss Spiderwort, and lit tle Daisy, were quite at home there, and knew all the pretty, grassy places, -the mossy spots, just where to deposit the baskets of goodies, the thrown-off scarfs I and shawls, and to arrange things generally. Miss Cactus, who sat up stiff and prim, and seemed to think' herself called upon to do the hon-j ors of the occasion, said it was i . "really quite chilly there in the < woods"; she thought "the sunshine I more inviting than the shade," ' and, with a shiver, she drew her I scarlet breakfast shawl about her. t . Doctor Crowfoot looked over at a Poly Anthus, whom he had just i carried safely through a fever, and s said it was "quite too damp there t for an invalid." Poly's face at 2 this moment was the reflection of f: her bright-colored dress; her mo- fc ther bowed to the Doctor's re- q mark, adding, her daughter must 0 take the advice of her superiors, s and be more careful in future, a Here Master Ragged Robin shout- P ed as he came up, his hair frowzy P and uncombed, lookintg as if he b habitunally slept in it, hris clothes a soiled, rumpled and awry, "I am e4 nrot going to stay here and freeze ; P I'nm going down in the-nicadowv to kc play ball with my cousins, the p4 Capers." As he trotted away, fr Miss Pr-imrose remarkcd to Nar. di cissus in an undertone, "HIow Mrs. 9 R~obizn an let that ebiid go in such h4 a deplorable, unkept state I can't v< understand! That woman hasn't et the least idea of neatness and or- fi der ; anrd then to briing up a fami.. hI ly of children in that. way is sad V( enough.'' Miss Anemone, who b3 thrives in the shade, thinking the w. case a little desperate, ventured to Ti say- she thought "the hot sunfr wourld bring on a fever-it always of gave her- the headache, and so lii wilted her down that she would an be good for nothing, for days af-i a ter. Now cousin liepatica came w to the support of Miss Anemone, at who was really trembling from br head to foot with the effort of speaking before so many-and her asi breath camne short and quick from a I fright. Mr. Laurel shaded her ly. from the gaze of the curious, till pri she could recover herself; while he ce remarked, "It is a lovely klace be- sel yond, on the hillside-the grass is far so fre~sh and soft, and velvety, thb while a little farther on spreads fan the :-een meadow, for the children eX< anu their games, though I should loo enjoy the shade," locking round. Wi at Miss Anemone, who seemed a fro little more reconciled to the sun ing now. "Yet it will not be a hot, ithc feverish. June sun by any means, jlas1 I think the warmth rather grate. apc ful." - or. Mr. Pinxster talked with Mad- ladi ame Pinxstcr, whose opinion it Iin was evident had wveight with the aee company, they were such dressy, 'A showy people. Forget-me-not said haz she "liked sunshine both inside son and out," and then she laughed, Ifeas and it was such a merry, rippling, full contagious little laugh, that all the I ki rest laughed, too. So the removal Mr. to the hillside was. soon accom- Iabr< plished. It was indeed a lovely he'l spot, this sunny hillside-the Chii beautifal green meadow stretching fellc out, banded with its bright, silvery her stream, the dark green grove in she The back ground-the blue, sharp- larg lined mountains in the distance- fami the air so fuail of sunshine, and of ti fragrance, and song-and the clear, wor: blue, cloudless sky above. "Yes," she they all said, "Mr. Laurel had an hers eye to the beautiful in selecting and this spot for the occasion." Miss dil, cactus, in addressing Forget-me- Spid not, called her Miss Myosotis, she had thought it sonunded more dignified ton. and company-like, butt Forget-me-! mue] not laughed at the idea of such a maid high sounding, foreign name, and I worI turning aside to Miss IIyacinth, thou who, by the way, is doing a large in- th business in the perfume tra,de, said, hers< "Did you ever hear the romance knev COnaciieted with our name ? that swvee makes us love it so well that no- jmort thing, not even marriage, cou ldf to 1o4 induce us to change it." A Andhere But]1 she blushed a little as Miss Prim- the s rose said. "What an idea !" and step; Miss Buttercup, who was busy rleas U%'.L V.Wn[:67L OUVVri. UlH Utau 1in Su([ an emphatic manner that words were needless. Mrs. Cowslip, a big, portly woman, said for her part she didn't like a remark fa voring, even in the slightest de. gree, the "Woman's Rights ques. tion." "For my part I have had enough to do to bring up my fami ly of children--keep them clean, tidy and their feet dry, and my house in order. Mr. Cowslip don't like children, and don't want any thing to do with them." Here Miss Jessamine said, in an aside to Miss Clematis, "He ought to-such a big family of 'em." "He thinks it is a woman's place to stay at home and mind the children, and not meddle with men's affairs, and of course, I think so too." And here she trotted her foot as if her always well-filled cradle were even now at her toes' end. Widow Hyrtle. who was very busy here, there, and every where ordering and arranging things; said she :idn't "like to see so much feeling manifested-it was a question be ng discussed in ill circles, and we )ught to talk about it coolly, dis assionately." And then she hur -ied away to see if her ice-cream vould be in readiness. Doctor Crocus had come to the onclusion by an ingenious species f reasoning, that it wasa "Reform gainst Nature," and that settled he question forever and ever, and ver. Here little dumpy, round, at-faced Dandelion said she didn't bother her head with any such teforms;" she was -"willing to ake things as she found them, nd leave them so ;" she was "go ag to have a good time," and then be looked over wistfully at the utter, honey and sugar-plnms. Er. Apple-blossom, a fine-looking Lrmer-a real utilitarian--came )rward, saying, "I think this uestion will settle itself, if we will nly give it time and place. We iould not be so over-anxious bout Nature. She is fully com ctent, and will work out this roblem, if we are only willing ; it the trouble is, we are not-we -e afraid that the result will run >unter to our dear prejudices and -econceived notions." Now all oked interested, for they ex :eted to hear sensible things >m Apple-blossom; but here the scussion was broken in lpon by e appearance of May Rose in r new silk, and Pansy in purple Ivet and gold, in such beautiful ntrast, and so becoming to her < ,ure! The Pink family and Tu- s sisters came together, dressed f ry gorgeously, and accompanied c young Mr. Cherry-tree, who t is all attention to the ladies. ie graceful Wisteria, a graduate s m a Philadelphia college, a lady a much refinement, dressed in t xc purple silk, without ornament, d Miss Heliotrope, attended by i: gentleman with a foreign air, c io was engaged talking to her l: out an exquisite French perfume, a ught up the rear. E K.ay Rose said, as she threw n de her scarf, "You see here isn't c air representation of our fami. b 'Every one knew she felt " >ud of her old, aristocratic an- ji try, and really considered her- f3 E of much importance, from p illy connection. "You know V principal branches of the Rose b. ily are staying in the city yet, g ept some distant cousins," bi king over her shoulder at little a] Id Rose. "I received a letter n Mrs. Damask, last week, say. 8r she couldn't think of leaving city while these chilly winds tL ed.

Mr. Yellow Rose us pted the invitation, saying, w' bachelor can well afford to "~( ird some dangers, undergo 011 e difficulties, for the sake of Da ting his eyes on such delight- C3 sprmng Beauties." But If think wI tow the reason he hasn't come. ibo Japan Rose is . there from >ad on a visit, and hbe is afraid .fall in love with his girl from ia. Oh, he is such a jealous th w !" And May rad oen about ha rich relations in the city ; for ye was a great talker, and dwelt ch: ely on the fair phases of the to ly--was never known to speak ch~ iorns, though she knew all the th~ d knew they had 'em, and si' 2ad often been pierced by 'cm wh elf. So she tossed her head int looked askance at Miss Daffo- me who was just then helping ed erwort loosen her net, which bat yauglrt in Sweet Briar's but- fra A sign-ificant look it was, as a Sas to say, "Played out, little act ." And her dress did look A < ,and faded, and sunburnt, giv ;h she had purposely kept it resj e shade for the Occasion; and pre If in the background; for she crei -it didn't look as- fresh- and as on that early spring M ing, when every one stopped whi k at her anid welcome her. ry. ittle Pansy, seeingat aglance and tate of things, thoughtfully mig ed up to Daffy, and with a1spo ant word reassured her. 'O, Yot v." sai Daffy, "you are al- d!c ways aoing somenoay a Rlnanesi and you are always so contente and happy, I don't wonder you ar called Heart's-ease." Now th foreign gentleman was seen to tur his eye-glass towards Lily-of-tb Valley, who looked like a bride, i her white veil and kids, and so u terly unconscious of her beauty that every one raved about it. Sh was one of the few-the very feN -whom no one, not even the ma ilicious Weed family, could sa: anything against. Lily serve< the company with nectar. Tb Tulip sisters distributed kisses, fo which they were noted the worl< over. The Misses Pink brough lady-fingers, and Daffy said she knew May Rose furnished th lemon-drops. Widow Myrtlh passed the cream which she hac superintended, and Mr. Laure: followed with ice-water. Thes< two were always together, bul they were first cousins, and no on( remarked about it. Such a fine, merry time playing "Ball," and "Croquet," and "Ring around a rosy," and "Oats, peas, beans and barley grows," and "Pussy corner"; for all joined in the games, except Miss Cactus, who couldn't unbend, and Miss Prim Rose, who confbunded stiff ness with dignity, and Dr. Fish Geranium, who didn't like to get his blood heated, for fear of erysip elas, and Mrs. Columbine, who was wea;ied with the over-supply of honey furnished, and, of course, Mrs. Cowslip, who didn't think it lady-like. The little Strawberries did the running for the balls. Sy ringa kept the counts from memo ry. Forget-me-not laughed till her sides ached; and every one said such a merry, delightful, hap py, holiday time was never had before; when Miss Cactus brought every one to his senses by saying she was "sure the dew was falling that minute; Miss Prim Rose and Butter Cup had already left the grounds, while Mrs. Cowslip had been gone an hour." Here Miss Hyacinth called to Forget-me-not for the story, and 1 score of voices shouted, "The Story!" But Forget-me-not shook er little head and said, "Wait till rune; I'm too tired." Now, Mr. Apple Blossom, who lidn't have a chance to finish his 'say," and who never liked to have u opportunity pass without an .ttempt to turn it into something iseful, called the attention of the ompany to the propriety of in titutinga permanent organization or the promotion of social inter ourse and the discussion of qucs ions of general interest. Here Dr. Crocus was seen to bake his head, and there followed general buzz of conversation as the how, what and when. Mr. Peach-Blossom, who was i the early part of the gathering ,usin and near neighbor to the , Lst speaker, after securing theiri ttention, said: "My dears" each knew this wasn't the usual tanner of addre6sing a promis ious company, but he had such a ig, full heart he couldn't help it [ fully approve of the sentiments ist advanced by my right-hand1 iend ; therefore I move that Ap e Blossom, Mr. Laurel, Dr. Sage, idow Myrtle and Minnie Nette appointed a committee to or nize a society whose object shalli the benefit of the various orders< ~d classes of our Floral tribe." c Several voices simultaneously< ied, "I second the motion." : Arbor Vite, a stiff, shining gen man, stepped forward, rubbingt s hands, and said: "Ladies and e ntlemen, you have heard the E ation, which has been seconded, i I in favor will signify by the t nal sign." Shouts of "Aye !" fi ~re heard from all directions. t 'ontrary, no." There was but e e dissenting voice, and that was r -. Crocus, as mignt have been r pected. The majority was over- t ielming, and with smiles and h ws the party dispersed. Wood's Household M3agazine. A. curious story is afloat about o Baron James de Rothschildp ving sat for his picture somea irs ago, to Ary Scheffer, in the e: iracter of a beggar. It is added, h complet.e the romance, that ap nee visitor, seeing the baron in et arti'st's studio made up for a lug, and, believing him to be p4 at he apspeared, slipped a louis his hand. The pretended 01 del took the coin, kept it invest-li f'r ten years, and then sent nie k othe donor ten thousand p ie a the accrued profit, with E: iote to the effect that a good Ip on always brings good fortune.

You fat ht as welf look out for a soft tb< to fall in a steeple chase.-- Cr come down in the very mid- LKi r'f your snecnlations.e 3, Industrial Resources. . d The following is the report of e the Committee on the Industrial n Resources of South Carolina, sub - mitted before the Immigration Convention, by Mr. B. F. Crayton, for the Committee, and read by 8 Prof. John McCrady, as follows: Your Committee, feeling assured that the very comprehensive char acter of the duty assigned them, I viz: that of reporting on the in e dustrial resources of the State, is, e itself, an evidence that no ex I haustive treatment of the subject t is expected by the Convention, nor even a specific account of what has been done towards the development of their resources, l limit themselves to a few general considerations, as to their nature, and the great policy for promoting their development.. From South Carolina to Texas inclusive, the climate of the At lantic and Gulf States, is of that intermediate kind which embraces the features both of the tropics and the temperate zone, and while exposed to many of the evils of| both, likewise enjoy in combina tion'many of the advantages of each. It is precisely in such a climate that the utmost diversity of industries can most easi'y flour ish, provided only the markets of the world be open to it, and there be a population sufficiently dense to make division of labor possible. Indeed it may be safely said that no other climate but one offers equal opportunities for diversify- 1 ing labor. The natural products of our country exhibit this diver- i sified character; we have here side by side, the animals and plants of the tropics, and those of the tem- t perate zone, pines by the side of T palms, wheat growing in sight of I rice fields, apples ripening in the i same orchard with oranges, crows i and bears and foxes inhabiting the r same swamps with the ibis, the 1 vulture, the parokeet and the cro- I codile, though our forefathers, un- d acquainted -with tropical animals, 1i gave them the names of cranes, i buzzards, and alligators, which a make us forget their equatorial si charaner7 and prevent n f'rme-a fleeting when we rcad of such I f( things in books of foreign travel I1 that they are, in truth, nothing s: but what we see about us every w day. In our waters is found equal s< variety. The herring, which is it peculiarly a Northern fish is sold rf in our market by the side of the p, fishes of the Carribean Sea, and if the muscle, the clam and the oys- of ter, all useful as food, are found ci even where the Peninsular of Flor- w ida is built up of coral reefs, like sl; the South Sea Islands. Even in w the domain of the miner there is in something to remind us of this d< commingling of temperate and of tropical features in the aspect of pa nature by which we are surround- ne ed. For does not the guano of ar the equatoreal islands -find its ve counterpart . in our phosphate of beds ? And does not the coal, itt which is rather characteristic of tit temperate climates, show itself fr< riot fair from these highly prized lili leposits ? ho in short, the climate~ of the eo southern States, their geological th ~tructure, their great rivers, and to he seas by which they arc wash- th ~d, offer every incentive which in limate can offer to a development wi f1 the utmost diversity of physical cc, ~nd intellectual labor. all But it is perhaps feared by some up hat a climate like this may be in- iti apable of supporting such diver- tra ified industry, in consequence of tai he very variety of its products-. oul hat what yields everything with ov< i.cility will yield the best of no- try hing. Such a conclusion, how. ver, is forbidden by a simple ar- sue ay of facts. The cotton and the w1l ice we produce are the best in vid be world, nevertheless the wheat the as likewise been recognized as ces aving no superior. And in the. wa pinion of your Coin mittee there Pr< in be no doubt that the difficulty con lC obtaining the best of any grain mit edduct in a clhmate of so catholic tioi character, is precisely such diffi- the ilty as is necessary to incite the ing ciman intellect to the exercise of Soc itient and ~minute observation, riot >upled with reflective ingenuity. the But that such a climate as we sou: >ssess is really capable of devel- tiot >ing and supporting this diversi- byi of occupation may be estab- pros hed in another way. There is con< climate in Europe exactly com- bor, ~rable with ours. If we travel onl' ~stward in search of a counter- visic rt, we shall pass over the whole lear the old world until we reach met iina and Japan. Here alone, do alon find all our chief characterist- reac repeated, though of course in resu~ -ins which, belon'ging to the old ing rld, are so far different from ivest c>se of the new. But on.r ex-' men umes of temperature, our cold are nters and hot summns'es; our whic nmingled tropical andtemperate faste ma and flora, are as familiar to ta Chinese as to ourselves. The Iaion lited States and the Flowery ize f ngdomn are what the physicai mini granbers might call homin- I man gous parts of the two continents. The same relative situation to the equator, the same coast configura tion, the same great rivers, the same warm oceans, current like the Gulf Stream flowing North ward along the coast, the same system of hurricanes, which the seamen of those seas know as ty phoons. And what is the aspect which industrir.l pursuits present in that country, physically so like our own? We see there, the densest population on the globe, whose existence in their crowded state is only rendered possible by the diversity of their industries. There is not land enough in China for its hundreds of millions to cul tivate, and the consequence is that millions are engaged in man ufactures of many kinds of rare excellence, and when even so, all cannot find the means of living, the rivers and the seas are made to yield their harvest, whole vil lages are built upon the water, and on the water whole popula tions are born, live and die, as their neighbors are born, live and die, upon the land. Now such is the similarity of climate that it is not too much to say that ther' is hardly an impor tant product of China which may not be equally well produced in the Southern States. We have al ready surpassed the Chinese in he culture of cotton, rice and sn ar-cane, and without doubt, vhenever, with the proper means, we set ourselves seriously to the ask, we will surpass them in the ulture of tea and silk, both which t has been demonstrated we can roduce. That the white race is both 'in ellectually and physically the su ierior of the wonderful Mongo ians of whom we have been speak ng, has never been doubted. If a their hands the climate of Chi a can do such things, in the ands of the white race, the simi ir climate in which we live can o much more. The difference es in this, that in China, increas g density of population has cre ted industrial diversity by neces tating it, while we are striving fter a diversity of pursuit but are ilcd by scarcity of population. may be laid down as a univer Ll economic principle, perhaps ithout an exception, that no anty peopled country, whatever t s advantages, ever exhibted a C ,ally diversified industry. The u noblem we are striving to solve, 9 it is not insoluble, is at least one 'the most difficult in the whole C rele of human endeavors, and if b e do solve it successfully, we all be greater than success in 1 ar, however glorious, could have n ade us. Being without that V nsity of population which could a itself create diversity. of occu- 9 ~tion, and which our Northern t: ighbors have had so lone, weo e striving to exhibit such ~a di- '" rsity of resources and capacity " development as will attract cap- ti el and the streams of immigra- e: in poured out year after year S >m Europe into climates more f :e than is ours to that of the ci me of the white race. Your v4 mumittee do not mean to reportd at the thing is impossible, but is point out its true difficulties as W a best preparation for surmount- o1 Sthem. If ever we succeed it 11 only be by the union and con 2tration of all the intellect and T the capital there is among us of r>n the one great problem. And s this very union and concen. bE .tion which is so hard to main- 7y n, when the few thousands of re population are scatttered tb ~r so wide an extent of coun. th tour Committee would then b ~gest that there is no way in ich our people can so well pro- it e for the future development of th almost inexhaustible resour. de of the climate, the soil and the Gi ters, bestowed upon them by [do >videnee, as by providing for a so; sistent and permanent unani y of purpose and concert of ac i, by frequent gatherings, like wi present Convention, by form- hin and sustaining local Clubs and th< ieties, and by maintaining pe- So lical publications, devoted to cei discussion of the indurtrial re- an eces of the South. The attrn- a Sof mind 3gainst mindattained th~ such means, while it tends to tri luce unanimity of purpose Sti luces also to a division of Ia- fey and diversified industry is an1 r the full development of di. agt n of labor. They must also aa< n to value those scientifie mlo hods of investigation which thi e can be sure of eventually hing precise and trust-worthy Its. They must, too, be will.. hei to risk something in the in- ina meut of capital upon experi- nes ts. Knowledge and money Idi si ~wo different forms of power ladi bh go on accumulating much the ~r when they viol- together when earth is' left to toil 2[ e. We must learn to organ- con ni a coinmon pur-pose the adi- say: strative ski1l of the successful corr of b2sness and t he skri in cr. research, which is the gift of the successful man of science. And for this ptirpose we must combine scientific education as far as poe.. sibie with e4acation in business. One of the ways by which a people may be forced into a full development of its material re sources is by foreign conqeest, shutting out from it every other avenue of progress-and it may emerge from such subjugation the conqueror of its conquerors. The most difficult thing in the world for a woman to do is to get ready to go anywhere; and there is nothing a woman will resentquick er or more fiercely than an intima tirn that she may possibly miss the train. Our friend, Brayfogle, gives us an instance of this. Mr. Bray was supposed to take the ten o'clock train on the Bee Line to visit some relatives in an inte rior town. Having suffered on previous occasions for injudicious suggestions, Bray thought that, I for once, he would let things.take their natural course. So he sipped his coffee and ate his eggs on toast, while Madame eurled and powdered, and danced attendance on the looking glass, and tied bark on the back of her head. Then Bray sat down by the stove for a an hour and read the morning pa- 4 per, while the Madame still con- h tinned to get ready. At last, just as he had reached the final para graph of reading matter, and was beginning on the advertisements Madame tied her bonnet strings si under her chin, took one long, lin- b gering, loving look at the image t reflected in the glass, and sweetly announced: tc "Well, my dear, I'm ready." ai "Ready for what?" asked Bray, in in well affected astonishment. tc "To go to the depot, to be sure," ti said Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly. tr "Oh !" said Bray, "I'd forgotten. se Well, Madame," continued he, , ooking at his watch, "that train w as been gone thirteen minutes. nc lust keep on your. things, and be 'ou'll be ready for the train to. a norrow morning " We draw a th reil over what followed. We are T1 issured, however, that next morn ng Mrs. B. was ready an hour lic 1head of time. lf ' ' .th The Northern negroes, quicker w< han their Southern brothers to tex omprehend the new political sit- bu ations produced by the fifteenth cal mendment, are already moving in m behalf of a separate political wi rganization in harmony with, mg ut not of the Republican party. sul 'hey do not intend to be swal- hei wed up as a helpless atom, a- th< tong the mass of Republican pie oters, but aim to hold the bal- and nee of power between the two co reat contending parties, coquet- his ng with either entirely in their kni wn interests. That this course sp< a wise one, as a new political ove, none can doubt, any more a ian they can the certainty of the sys cample spreading through the "or )uth. As a natural result of en- int: anchisemnent it is useless to dis- tra 1ss it, as the natural and una- lie >idable antagonism of race pro- a rr iced thereby will produce- new tan sues and complications, before ord hich the present ones are but anc pigmy importance.

The following essay, after some preleminary remarks, was read before the late Sunday School Con vention by Rev. T. S. Boinest, of Newberry: Next to the office of the Chris tian Pastor, there is perhaps none Ather in the Church of the Re ieemer fraught with such high re ponsibilites, and presenting such in extensive field of usefulness, as he Superintendent of the Sunday school; and we almost shrink from he task o- even endeavoring to )resent our beau ideal of a Chris ian Sunday Shool Superintedent, eat some good and worthy men iow in this position, and doing nuch and valuable service among he Lambs of Christ's flock, should e induced to sink under a sense f their inability, and exclaim who is sufficient for those things ?" ut let these remember the woman the gospel, who received the pprobation of the Master in that Aling and comprehensive sen mnce, "she hath done what she )uld," and go on and do likewise. 'he Superintendent should first of I be a man of piety. If it is re uisite, as all are agreed, that the acher should be possessed of a eart devoted to God, how much ore the Superintendent. He is )t perhaps to be in the strictest nse a "teacher ;" to him no ecial class should be committed' it he is nevertheless a more than acher. Not of a single class, but all; from his lips comes the meral instruction ; by him are achers and scholars both taught; id if the object of Sunday School struction is to cultivate the heart, educate the soul, to lead to Christ, en must he who would thus sin, and lead and educate, him-j If be acquainted with what he uld teach, and know the way lither he would lead. Further, t only should the Superintendent 1 a man bf piety, but should possess degree of information beyond ose over whom he is to preside. ere are many good men in the )rkl, ornaments to the Christian ing epistles, commended of all, ,yetwithall of these elementsof 9 Christian character, they $ uld not. make efficiet Superin dents for the Sunday School ; F t add to these, literary qualifi- t ions, and ynu are progressing the combination of elements ich will give you the "comina u n" for your Sabbath SchooE )ervision. To the graces of the rt, he adds the cultivation of s mind; with deep and fervent ty he combines ability to teach, I while his unassuming piety P nmands the universal love of r teachers and his pupils, his ti >wledge gains for him their rc-s et. 2 tour Superintendent should be * nan of sound judgement and a tematic business habits.
