^A?HgRg'COLUMN, J. G. CLINKSCALES, EDITOR. OEOGHAPHY. ThiB is pre eminently the age of pro gress in thc matter of school teaching and school-work. Thirty years ago, in this country, children were taught geog raphy niter the old plan so well known to our parents-the plan that gave many of them such a distaste and in sumo in stances such a perfect antipathy against that beautiful and useful science. We trus'. our teachers havo not all thrown thoir text-books aside to be covered with <'u?t during thc long Summer months. They expect to tench ?gain. Let them be wide awake. And let ninny moments, that might bc otherwise unprofitably spout, be gi von lo accumulating ammu nition and arranging your plans for the next battle with ignorance. During this long recess, use your field glass, get your position, raise your fortifications, and bc ?ure that nothing is wanting when the campaign opens. You have an advanced class in geography next session. What are you going to do with that class ? Are you prepared to teach them ail they arc prepared to be taught '! If so, you aro a happy teacher, and fortunuto are your patrons and pupils. You want to teach your class something about .South Caro lina. You know a great deal about that State; you Hatter yourself, at least, that you do, ?ince you have utudicd it so much. Well, how do you propose to tench it-after thc samo old pluus your teachers followed? My friend, if you do, you arc asleep, you aro a fossil : ask some friend to get you by tho shouldets and back you up into a corner and shake tho very lifo out of you. Wo lake it for granted that you mean progress, that you aro wide awake. Then hero is a model division or arrangement of your geogra phy lesson : 1. Boundaries. 2. Coast lines (general description of boys, capes, etc.) 3. Draw it ou black-bunrd~ 4. Description of surface, (a.) Give general slope. (b.) Mountain systoins and ranges. (c.) Rivers (length, directiuu, falls, ex tout of country they dr.in, navigable or not). 5. Soil (different kinds, and, if possi ble, what fertilizers aro best suited to each). G. Climate.^ 7. Productions. 8. Occupations aud characteristics of inhabitants. 9. Cities (location, size, importance, whether metropolis or capital). 10. Brief historical sketch, principal battles fought iu Revolutionary War, and tho prominent part she played iu the lost war. Follow this plan if you have no better one. HUYO some system about your plans. Study the best plan for making tho most lasting impression on thc minds of your pupils. IHDUBTBIAL SCHOOLS. Th Atlanta Constitution speaks of in dustrial training in that city as no lunger a dream but au actuul reality. "In our industrial school," saya the Constitution, "a boy is not permitted to becomo a specialist.. Uo is instructed iu all the principles that underlio both classes of work. In a measure, he must learn how to work in both wood and iron. He must learn how to do mechanical draw? lng. Tho arithmetical problems of both trades aro parts of his lessons. Tuero is but one way lo hold a hammer, or any other tool ; this ia taught. How to sharpen and caro for tools, aud how to make them, are all practiced. What ia the result? There are bright boys iu the school in Marietta street, who, in tin opinion of those qualified to speak, ure competent to earn in our shops tho wages of mechanics, although they havo beon in school only three months." If schools of thia kind preparo boys and young ' mon for earning a livelihood by tho hon est exercise of bolh brain and muscle, it isa pity .that there ia.not ono iu every town in the land. Many young men, now lying around loose "waitlug for a job," might, in a short time, bo prepared for doing such work as thoy are now in - capable of doing. The sooner the ldlo young men of the large towns and small villages wake themselves up to the im portance of exercising their brains and developing their muscles in dead earnest, the better it will be for them, and tho bolter for the country. That ambition which roaches its goal in a position be hind the counter iu some retail Blore Is getting to bo too common. There are other fields for usefulness and other channels to success. That pride which would remove one from that sphere of labor fdr which nature Intended him and for.which oho specially endowed him, ia born in sin and is itself tho. father of un . told mischief. How many a father has . blighted tho prospects and marred the happiness of! his son by attempting to mako a lawyer out of what might have been a successful, happy aud honorable farmer ! Many lawyers, doctors and preachers go maimed through Ufo, doing but little good fer themselves and abso lutely nothing for humanity, si inply be canse they are working at the ?rrong an vil and striking will- 01? wrong hammer. Bat we find we baye strayed from the line of thought intended when we com : men ced writing. Let it go, however. It ; U not probable that too much will be said or written against the foolish idea that ft young man must leave his honest but humble home in the country to seek foxtnn'? and fame in towns end cities. Moro on thia nubject hereafter. U??DER THE KODE. " Tho expr?salo?? "under tho roso," took origil* from ibo war? between the yttaeic of York and Lancaster.

Accord mg to oilier.', litis term originated in thc fable of Cupid giving the rose to H a rpo I crates, thc god ot silence, as a bribe to prevent him betraying thc amours of Venus, nod was hence adopted as ibo emblem of silence. The rose was for this reason frequently sculptured on tho ceilings of drinking and feasting rooms, as a warning to the guests that what was said in moments of conviviality should not bo ropcated ; from which, what was intended to bo kept secret was said lo be held "under tho rose." Hoses were con secrated UH presents from the Pope. In 1G2C they were placed over confessionals, as the symbols of secrecy. Hence, ac cording lo some, the origin of the phrase. - Notes (tit'l '\>iterks. BUOTHEIl JONATHAN. The origin of this term, HS applied lo the United States, is as follows : When General vVnshiugton, after being ap pointed commander of the army of tho revolutionary war, went to Massachusetts lo organi/e it, he found a great want of ammunition and. other mi nns for its de fence ; and on one occasion it seemed thal no means could he devised for the necessary safety. Jonathan Trumbull, the elder, was then Governor of the I State of Connecticut ; and the General, I placing thc ?rente->l reliance on Iiis ex cellency's judgment, remarked, "We must consult Brother Jonathan on the subject." Tho General did so; and the I Governor was successful in supplying many of the wants of the army : ami thenceforth, when difficulties arose, and j thc army was spread over the country, it I became a by-phrase. "Wo must consult j Brother Jonathan ;" and the name has I now bre?me a designation !<>r thc whole country, as .lohn Hull lias lor England. - ?Hclioimrii of Anxcricanisiii*. CAM the World Afford lo be Honest ? I Patton Hangle became disgusted with thc untruthfulness of mankind, and I , preached a vigorous seimon in denuncia- I , lion of society falsehood. Ho declared I that lies told out of politeness were just as wicked a.- those told with the deliber ate intention ol deceiving, In fact, J, thcKo society lies pot folks in the habit of , lying, and they readily pick up the other , kind. The sermon made a great impress I | ion. Many of thc congregation resolved J lo reform. Coming out of the church, I , Deacon Jones said lo Judge Badger, who , Hits in front of him : "Judge, I hopo you didn't mind my I putting my feet under your pew?" , The Judge was about to reidy, "Oh, , certainly not;"' hut he thought of the [ sermon and answered : I "I did, though, your old hoofs tool: up , all the room and were n fearful uni- _ sauce." j i "Well," said the deacon, "the hair oil ( you use smells so, it nearly forced us to I , leave tho pew." , They glared nt each other, and just j j then Mrs. Badger and Miss Jinkins came I , along. Miss Jinkins had asked, "How I , do you like my new bonnet?" "Oh, I thought it just love-" replied Mrs. B., L and then B?IO thought of thu sermon, I , "No, I didn't either. It is a horrid , thing. I wouldn't be Heeu with it." , And Miss Jinkins got mad and replied, I , "Well, if I wero you, I'd not wear dirty j, stockings to church ; mid if I did, I'd | keep 'em out of sight." I j While these honest conversations wero | going on, Mrs. Smith had said to lier , next door neighbor, Mr. Williams, "I | linne the crying of our baby last night didn't disturb you ?" And Williams re- L plied, "No-thal is-yes, I wanted to ? brain thc brat." And then Mrs. Smith l( called him a wretch, and wept. j j Then thc clergyman carno out and ? and asked young Symonds how he liked I ; tho sermon. Symonds said, "It was a j grand cf-er-ob, parson, it was blamed I, nonsense " "Sir?" Haid tho parson, nnd ( ho drew himself up indignantly. Just then, Smith and Williams, alter telling , each other tho truth, clinched, nnd Dea , cnn Jones was trying to hold Miss Smith , from scratching Mr. Badger. It took I t tremendous efforts to stop the rows and prevent a scandal, and, as it was, every- I ( body went away mad with everybody ( else. The parson wont home and tuedi- t tated in a gloomy frame of mind for . three, hours, and finally concluded that society lyitig was wicked ; but ho would ( not preach agaiunt il again.

C.. just across tho Slate line from Oco- I nee County, a tract of (?0,000 acres of i i laud, upon which he proposos tho cree- t lion of an immouso establishment for the manufacture nf faucy Bavnrinn grasa-lt ware, an industry altogether new iu this t country. Mr. Wenzel endeavored to t obtain lund in this State for the location I i of this factory, but says that he was un- 11 ablo to secure tho title to so large a tract. 11 Mr. Wenzel has been in Charleston for 1t (several days with n view to making ar- I i rangements for immediately commencing I d the work upon the factory buildings. I e Tho contract will probably fail into I c Charleston hands, and the buildings will I r. bo up by tho Fall. So soon as au pre- 11 liminaries shall have boen arranged, Mr. I Wenzel intends leaving for Europe to secure skilled workers in glass from the factories of Bavaria and Austria, whom bo will bring to Walhalla and Swain I r County for tho purpoao of instructing I j American workers as lo the mysteries v aud intricacies of Bavarian glass work- I c lug. Mr. Wenzel says that an establish- . ment of tho kind ho intends operating 1 j, clots not, so far as he is aware, exist iu I a this country, for ho baa travelled far and y wide in the hope of discovering one, but I ( has failed to do so. He further states 11 that in no part of tho world eau inore ? delicate flint for tho manufacture of this I ? elegant glass ware be found than in the I 0 northwestern part of this State, all Moue 11. the border of Gorth Carolina.-JW te* ana 11 Courier. jB An Angry Judge. j j!

Travelers would do well lo bear this in mind when far (rom thc region of lintel*, and not throw their paper out o? the car window, ol leave il nu their nest in changing cars, for there is no lolling how useful It may provo in some emergency to ward oil" cold. As a preventive ol that fatal disease, pneu monia, a folded newspaper laid beneath (ho outer clothing across the chest is said to be infallible. This lian heetl confirmed to the writer by the testimony of an individual whose avocations kept him constantly exposed to all weathers, night and day. Ho was a resident of a country village, a perfect typo of a hearty, strong, vigorous man, and he accounted for his robust health, notwithstanding his exposures, by saying Ilia', although inheriting consumptive tendencies, lis liad been able to resist them through the simple precaution of always wearing a newspaper folded over his ell ont under Iiis coat. AH a preventive ol cold feel, a pitee of newspaper folded in the sole is quite iqwal to, if not HO ?leganl or KO expen sive ns cork or lamb skin soles, being light, soil, and easily renewed.

GUARDIAN OF HOME. Mer Method* nnd Achievement*. ?The following article written hy Mia* Cleveland, now mistress of the White House was published in the Youth's Temi>erancc ?humer, 1882 ] KK-SPONHJIIIMTY Ol' OIIU.S IN TEMPBK* ANCK WORK. J. G. Holland wrote in Mrs. Hayes' album these words: "Women only can make wine drinking unfashionable and beul the nation of this curse." What did Dr. Holland mean by "women only?'' Is it true that only women can make wine drinking unfash ionable and heal the nation of this curse." You nnd I need to know this first, because iT only we women can do titi? thing, why it is an awful responsi bility upon us-each one of us. And if somebody ehe can do it, we, like all the others, would like lo give that some body else the job. Five years ago, at Washington, Mrs. Hays became mistress of the White House, and it was for her, and no one else, to say what thc social atmosphere should he which surrounded her guesl*, and how they should bo en tertained at her house. Well, she did an unheard of thing. .She banished wine from all her entertainments, with just one exception. Secretary Evarts made a fi i HB. He was mortified. He could not enduro lo have Lord and Lady English, Count and Countess French, Huron and iiaromss German, come to the White House dinners aud have nothing flt for them td drink-not a drop of poison ? It waa too utterly queer! So .Mrs. Hayes made ono exception in favor of those great foreign highnesses, nnd allowed wine upon her table in their presence. Hut only for once. Her con science-high souled woman that she is I - smote her for that one little cowardly compromise with wrong. She could better endure to have Secretary Evnrls and the Smiths ashamed of her than tn be ashamed of herself. So she quietly and forever after prohibited wine from her table, and cheerfully endured the liftod eyebrows and shrugged shoulders of tho diplomatics, British, French, Russian -all, and the little shortlived hiss of "fashionable" society, until thnt hiss turned to a cheer, and fashionable society turned around, like the spaniel it li, and trotted behind its mistress. It became unfashionable to serve wine and to rifler w ine in fashionable society while Mrs. Hayes was in the White. House. What Mrs. Hayes did in tba White House every woman can do in her own home, if she wiii. If the girls who read these words will each ?if them, all to gether, use their influence on the side of temperance, they can make temperance fashionable. Will you do it? Gen. Grant does n manly thing in re fusing to drink wine everywhere and in all Hoeiety. It is ;?nly a strong man who can keep his wine-glass upside down - in this case right side up, too!-while ?ll the grand people around him are sipping champagne and toasting each other in sparkling drinks. No one can tell bow "far this little candle sheds ita light." Hut no man can do for a fashion in society what a woman eau. It i* women only, "ns Dr. Holland said. I wish some strong, bright angel stood before you just now whilo you read, girls, to flash before you, as no works of mine can. thc power you possess lo help I or to hinder the caine of temperance ; to make you feel your responsibility, be cause you are girls, in this matter; to shudder at its weight, and to never cease trying to fulfill it ! Doubtless you have heard a grenl deal about the vulue of your smiles ; but do you know the vnluo of your frowns. I wish I could make you feel the value of your frown and tho importance of knowing just what to frown upon. What a man must do by a blow a woman can do by a frown. Wheo the time comes that the young man who n"W shares his time in your society and tho saloon-who jokes about temperance in your presence, and takes a glass, eocially, now and then, is made lo feel that these things cannot be if you are to be his companion at party, ride or church ; that good society can not tolerate theso things in ita members-in short, that this kind of man is unfashionable and unpopular, then alcohol will tremble on its throne, and the liquor traffic will bide its cancerous face. A Curions (Jamo of Clinuro. Dropping into the private office of a big firm of brokers recently I found the principals, together with a number of friends absorbed in a curious game of chance. On thc table round which the players were gathered there was a small oblong box. A railing ran around tho edges and tho lid wat punctured with holes. Four lumps of sugar, numbered from one to four, were laid on this box, and thc players watched them sedu lously. Hy and by a cockroach emerged from one of the boles and ciawled up the lump of sugar marked number two. In stantly one of the observers scooped a sum of money from off tho table. He bad bet on number two, and these were his winnings. I watched thc curious game for an hour, during which a good deal of cash changed hands, and not a word was ut tered.
