UNBELIEF.
Tlicrc is no unbelief; , I
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sdd,
And waits to see it push away the clod,
Trusts in God.
Whoever says, when elands arc in the sky,
"lie patient, heart I light hreukcth by and by."
Trusts the tnosl high.
?> noever sees, neatn winters neiu ot snow,
The silent harvest of the future grow,
God's power must kuow.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says, ' To-morrow," "The Unknown,"
"The Future," trusts that power alone
He dares disown.
Tho heart that looks on when eyelids close,
And dares to live when life has ouly woes,
God's comfort kuows.
There is no unbelief ;
day by day, nnd night uncr.nsociusly
by the
why.

For God is over all and heaven above thee?
Hope on, hope ever.
Don't cuss the cold, my churlish friend,
But can it for the futuro.
Unless you mend your ways nnd make
A garb of virtue suit "yer,"
You'll reach n climate just beyond
The promised continuation,
Where one good solid icicle
Would help you like "tarnation."

PARENTAL CO-OPERATION WITH TEACHERS
One of the greatest difficulties with which
our schools have to contcud is iudefferenco
on the part of the parents. Most people
think they have done all that is required,
when they put their children in the hands
of tho teacher, and that he must do the
rest. They do not realize the fact that the
success depends not alone ou the teachers
who arc merely their agents, but ou themselves.
This may not be universally admitted,
but ccrtuiuly there are such mutual
responsibilities as require tho co-operation
of parents and teachers. Kvcry thoughtful
teacher feels the parental influence.?
lie is cither aided or retarded in his work ,
by it. liy it ho has an insight into the family
goverumcntand learns some things which
would gladly be concealed. Bad family
government is sure to make itself known
r.U I t *
mm icil in mo Bcnooi room, it children
arc bad aud insubordinate at school the
icaybcr may be sure he la so at home. J If
a boy is idle aud neglects his studies at
school, you may be sure lie docs the same
at home. It increases the labor of the
teacher and retards yoile Tboy's progress
if he is not made to work at home and
taught to obey. What is the use for a
teacher to correct a scholar and send him
home where he is taught that the teacher
acted as a tyrant ?
There arc many things a teacher con
teach and many that parents must. If your
boy is not honest, or truthful, blame yourself,
for it is your duty to assist in inculcating
these virtues. If you neglect them
rest assured they will tell on you at the
school house. Home influences aro not all
bad, for often we find a scholar who breathes
a pure atmosphere, whose influence is good,
and we feel at once that ho belongs to a family
of good report, where truth and honesty
are household gods.
Much of the failure in nnrenfnl M.An.ipn.
? i wrv,w
tlon is caused by the ignorance of the pa*
rents themselves. I mean by ignorance,
not those who .vero so unfortunato as not to !
obtain a necessary amount of education, j
but those who wilfully neglect opportunities
of posting themselves about the methods
of instruction, that they might judiciously
criticise the work of their teacher. How
few parents in Union County reads an educational
Journal ! They leave their chil- I
^more to the mercy of n teacher than

Mr. Kditor, for myself I thank you for

Br. Honorable.?Boys and young men
sometimes start out in life with tho idea
that one's success depends on sharpuess and
chicanery. They imagine that if a man is

Tint is a great mistake. Enduring prosperity
cannot bo founded on canning and
dishonesty. The tricky and deceitful man '
is sure to fall a victim, sooner or laterr, to '
tho influences which are forever working
against him. I lis foundation is built upon |
sand, and its foundation will bo certain to 1
give way. .Young people cannotgivo theso ]
truths too much weight. The future of |
that young mao is safe who eschews every |
shape of double dealing and lays tho foun- j
dntion of his career in the enduring principles
of vcrlasting trntli.

A TALK WITH PA3ENT3 AND"TSJACIIEIt3.
1 found, the other day, this aUvico to on
teachers: 011
' Never talk much uor loud. Never au
promise what you cannot perform. Never re
threaten for anticipated offenses. Never be P'J
Imsty in word or action. Never puuish P:>
when angry. Never speak iu a scolding,
fretful manner. Never tell a pupil to do ro
anything unless convinced ho cnu do it.?
Never attempt to teach too many thiigs.?
Never compare one child with moth tr.? u>
Never use a harsh word wheu a kind ono cl
will answer as well. Never let your pupils a
see they can vex you. Never allow tale ot
bearing. Never speak evil of others. Nev- ol
cr indulge in an anything inconsistent with a'
politeness." pi
This is excellent advice for teachers and tl
is admirably fitted for parents too. It is ol
remarkable how inconsiderate many pareuts it
and teachers are about cbildreu; they f)l- ft
low strictly Solomon's famous saying?
'Spare the rod aud spoil the ehild," but ut- J
? >? IV iininrn tl>f. mi 1<1 St. Paul when he ti
S!lya?''Fathers, provoke uot your ehildreu ?i
to wrath." Children arc human beings, "
with feelings and opinions of their own, and *
should be treated ajsuob, and not as mere
automatons, made to act as the governing j
power wills. I. roccully heard Professor I
l)odd. IVof^ar,'^ English Literature and c
TTo said : "I have great sympathy for boys I
and sometimes I want to deliver a lecture ?
ou them. The first ten years I taught, 1 t
did not understand boys, but now I think I
I know them thoroughly. To make a gen- ?
tlcman of a boy, you must treat him as one, {.
It is too ofteu the case that at home if
there is a small back room with no fire-place s
in it. that is giveu to the boy. If there is J.
an old woru out carpet takcu from the sis- c
tcr's room or the dining room, it is put in 1
the boy's room, and all the old pluudcr that t
cannot be stored anywhere else, is put in *
the same place, consequently when he goes t
into his mother's or his sister's room, he t
feels awkward and embarrassed, and no i
wonder he stumbles over so tunny things." 1
"Vanderbilt University spends every c
year, 64,000 in beautifying and improving a
the grounds, in order to cultivate a taste for t
the beautiful and refined in the boys. Kv- >
cry few-years the entire building is newly t
carpeted, and always kept in perfect order, r
The boys arc not called upon to account for t
their conduct, for it is supposed that they i
are all gentlemen, but if the chaplain dm- a
covers that any boy is not studying, or is <
misbehaving in any way, ho simply writes 1
to the boy's father that it will bo best to t
take him home, uonc of the touchers or pu- t
pils know the reason for tho boy's leaving 1
and he is thus saved tho notification of being
expelled iu their presence."
l'arcnts and teachers, I ask you all, is not r
that a noble method ot conducting a school? f
Alas ! too many teachers treat boys as if !
they were galley slaves and had to be driven 1
to their work, but every thinking mind will J
see what a gross error that is, and will iu- *
gtantly rccoguizc how much bettor it is to .
put boys upon their honor and trust them
! to do right. A system of teaching iu which !
a domineeriug will forces boys into obedi- 1
cncc, only crushes out that honor and self- 1
respect which should bo iustillcd into every 1
boy, aud when I recall such teachers, my "
mind involuntarily reverts to tho brutality '
of Squecrs at Dotheboys Ilall, which Dickens
so faithfuly portrayed iu Nicholas
Nickleby." 1
As an evidence that this driving, grind- *
ing method of discipline is not the best, the '
largest and most flourishing schools iu the 1
world are conducted on the plan adopted at .
the Vandcrbilt University. God irrant that 1
* o " J
the time may soon conic, when we may have .
more such schools and teachers throughout
the country.

A Locust Prediction.?A Washington
dispatch credits Professor lliley, the ,
entomologist, will saying that the seventeenyear
locusts will abound next June in Marquctto
and Green Luke Counties. Wisconsin,
in the neighborhood of Wheeling, West
Virginia, and probably in Maryland, Virginia
aud the District of Columbia. They
may aLo appear, be says, in the west part
u(LN<utli l'urnlini), Nurlluaaaturu. Oliin, l.an.
caster County, Pa., and West Chester County,
New York. There arc two broods of these
periodical locusts, one appearing once in I
seventeen years and the other once in thirteen.
Doth broods will appear this year,
but not in the same localities. The Professor
says that the thirteen-year brood will
probably be seen in Southern Illinois, in all
of Missouri, cxcent the northwest nnrn.T
I - - "v* ?
it: Louisiana, Arkansas, Indian Territory,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The two kinds of locusts differ very
liltle iu appearance.
Arithmetic hy Inverse Ratio.?
"John, take this slate, you rascal, aud work
out this sum : If a cat falls into a well
sixty feet deep and crawls out six feet each
day, falling back oight feet every night, how
much time would the cat requiro to get out
of the well ?
John set to ciphering and covered both
sides of his state with figures; then, placing
ouc edge of the state on his knees and resting
his chin on the other, he gazed into vacau<7
"Well, John, how about the cat?
"Father, I nin't got any more room on
my slate; but if I hud another square I'd |
have that cat in h?1 in three minutes." i
Plants, like animals, differ much in i
their habits aud the different sorts of food
on which they subsist. The broad leaved
clovers, turnips and mangels abstract from
the air a large portion of their growth,
while tlio narrow leaved grains and grasses
partake more largely of mineral food, which
they draw from the soil. This fact will
explain the groat advantage of rotation of
crops.
Roses need very rich soil to bring them
to perfection, thriving best in a mixture of
(veil-rotted manure, sund and gnrdeu loam,
uid to stint them of nourishment is indeed
coor economy.
