The teacher who wai's for appreciation
penerallj gets it in the shepc of an epitaph.
All the good he does in life is talked of
after ke is dead, ltight here parents often
stand ia tke way of their children's progress
and future prosperity. The teacher, though
he (er she) may do a'l he enn to advance
the children, yet, at home the child eften
hears some caustic or d;srespectful remark
made by its parents that impairs the in
fluenco of the teacher upon it, and thereby
ullimu'e ruin, lint few people seem t{
appreciate the fact that the teacher is the
hardest worked, poorest paid and least
hanked public servant in the land; and at
ast one of the most indispensable factors

Botaay as a School Study very*
There is one branch ef study tsught in
to schools ef our cities aad large towns, fe|).
atirely neglec'ed by the scheo's in the Nc
ountry?the study of botany.
The average child is without any scientific
tnowledge of plant life; yet there is oe grov
lubject on which it is more nece?svry that heai
:ountry children, espeeUlly. should he informed.
City children, ai a rule, see wry a|.e
Tew flowers, and study them und?-r many We
disadvantages, which di not exist in the 'his
country. They also, bring in no danger '''*
from poiseaeua plants, hnve less nerd to es^
ka'wtln distinction between useful plants "bi
and pernicious ones. Should they under- <*'<

and our country children remain unacquain- *r?

lei with the structure of the simple ?nu ?
beautiful forme which they sec daily ? tll
This study also traioJ the mind as all ar
scientific knowledge doe?. It gives the ftt
- - . ? 4? wj xiirn rigllC"
names, ao<l cultivates a taste for gardening j?
and other useful pursuits.
There is another tulvansnge, which helongs
to a'l studies of this kind, where 11
things themselves are studied, uot theories
about them: it early trains the pupil to J<
verify his c -nciusions l>y facts, thereby H
forming a habit of correct thinking, wltich
will surely prevent that big dry and narrow- ^
mindness to which the human mind is p:
easily inclined. T
A geod p'an is, I suggest, when a c'ass
has finished a]priroa-y physiology, to begin Cl
the same class in a botany of tlte same guide, t
and when the botany is tiuished, begin the
next grade physiology or any other sc'cnce. ?.
B'ackbotrd illustrations are very ttsefu',
and each child can make a neat note book h
front ordinary wrapping paper, and copy '
them in l?. I.et eacli member of the class T
have a |l*nt to raise in a pot, or give the j
whole class a box of small plants. That ?
will interest llietn as nothing else will.
The schoolroom will thereby be ornamented,
and other children will bo encouraged to
grea'cr diiigenee by the prospect of engng- si
ing in a study so p'easant. T
And who can study tlie'o fa;r forms of ^
life, delicately tinted like the morning sky
or gorgeously colored bko the sunset, with- t
out cultivating his perception of the beauti- "
fill in every ether direction? What but a f
flower could inspire these prttty lines of (
liUUici>un f }

Some like stars to tell us Spring i? born, ,
Others, their blue eyes with tears o'er(
(lowing, i
Stand like Ruth amid the golden corn.

The Farmers and Improved Agrioulture J
JOXESVII.I.E, May 17,
Eiiitor Uniox Times.?Did you ever know 1
so much cold weather in May ? llow the ?
farmers are to be pitied ! They have worked s
hard and have their crops in best condition,
but now the old weather is blighting their l<
prospects. When portions of a ci'y or town n
are destroyed by fire or tloid, there is great
sympathy expressed, though two-thirds or k
three-fourth covered by insurance, but the w
silent way in which the farmers have had V
their prospec s for a crop (listroyed causes p
litile to be said, if much is thought abiut it. pi
Mr. Editor, if you wai\t to see manifest tn
evidences of improved methods iu agriculture,
leave your tripod and travel through m
Union county about this time. 1 have had 3
occasion to pass through North I'ucolet and w
Tea ltidge iccent'.y. On almost every liill of
or iaciined plane you can see terraces, and IV
where you do not find terraces you will see re
,1,wiucti iu a way to prevent wasu- ui
ing. By this method of cultivation the hills no
and sloping lauds are made to posesses all th
the advantages of level surfaces. In the Hi
section of county meiuioued the corn and lai
cotton hold undisputed possession of the
fields, nnd only await a chance to grow when co
sufficient heat is furnished. There is hope an
for a county that can boast of so many small Cli
ar.fi wot! eulii?i?icu farms as on sees on a ?
"dear old l'ea ltidge." We don't like the wi
idea of large plantations and uiany tenants ;
it savors too much of landlordism and is too
close k:n to monopolies in other industries.
To the Alliance is due the credit of bringing
about the improved methods of agiicui- in;
lure referred to above. The farmers now Cli
read agricultural literature, and profit by lit
what they read.
l$y the way, the writer bought a large fish, str
caught mil of l'acolci river, and found that
it had been rating strawberries. Perhaps lor
"Telephone" can tell us where the tlsh got
them. SruscKiiiKtt. .Mi
