man gnklltymtt. ^uh^'Column, ? rCLINKSCALES, Editor. re take the liberty of publishing the ping extract from a letter from one lost progressive teachers in the inty: "I have started a class of four* [en in 'Language Lessons', and made Movements in various ways. I have a silver medal for the best spell* ad all the pupils are striving to win re are now studying spelling accord* the plan introduced at the recent ty Institute." Minerva, Drake the popular teacher at Cray too ville, in response to ioiur inquiry of a few weeks ago writes: "I ave tried with much satisfaction the gem exercise.' Through Dr. Lander's notions, I am now able to make the rrmary arithmetic lessons so simple; t classes are now delighted where they once .confused. I had adopted the anguage Lessons' some time ago, but ve applied them more profitably since turning. Just before closing we now ctice calisthenics, and my verdict is at any child who relishes any depart* ent of school life enjoys this systematic xercise. We are also giving more attention to the diacritic marks in spell* ing, and, in truth, we feel confident of doing better service than ever before." ? \ We are glad to know that our teachers '?: are successfully introducing into their /oy'n schools some of the common sense ^ideas/taught at the County Institute. . . When we try a plan and find that it works well with our school, let us hold v to it until a better one be suggested. But*| { lentis not tie ourselves to old plans with ^a complacency that precludes the possi? bility of adopting any others. . EDUCATION AND TEACHING.?No. 2. The matter of properly training the 1 youthful mind is? of itself, now held to be a science, by all the great and emi? nent e<Ju-:ato: s of the world. As a science it is, ? of course, necessarily founded ? Mon th?--nature and laws; of the human vnmd. The accomplished teacher must, - therefore, be-'*, profound metaphysician. _It is by no means so essential that a teacher should be a -ripe scholar, as that ;? he should: be an nstute observer of human I nature, a psycological expert, a gauger j of mental phenomena. / The b?rn .teacher, with due experi - ence, will teRch, and teach well too,? v as an eminent. Professor in a celebrated ^Njorthern College asserts,?much more than be himself knows. All that he seeds is a good text-hook, and the ability to read and understand it. In its use he will keep well ahead of his. class, and will often expound, illustrate and enforce the topics of the book with more zest, freshness, and point, than one who has grown so familiar with it that it has in a great measure lost its interest to him. It is on just this principle, doubtless, that one of the most experienced,- learned, and distinguished of our living Southern educators declares, that he could not con*. jscientiously meet a class to instruct them i .Webster's Blue-back. Spelling-book,^ jtbouThaving first carefully.gone over lesson himself. It is not sufficient that the teacher should know the con-' tents of the lesson or of the book, he must, ,for every recitation, study how ^-fJtes&ii? may explain, illustrate, and sin> lify the text, bringing, it clearly and fully withiu the comprehension of his I class: in other words, how he may teach Iiis class better knowledge of what they have studied in their books. He will very often'find'that even the most dili? gent have only learned words' without apprehending their meanings. His dis? cerning eye and quick ear will often l detect that fact in the blank expression * of the pupils' countenance, and in the timerbustone of their voice, if he is en* I dowed with tho faculty of reading mind. . And, if he is indeed a true teacher, his own joy will be full when, from the Ilgent lighting up of the eyes of his ipils, he sees that he has,enabled them grasp the full sense of the words they id learned. Jut let no teacher commit the fatal of supposing that he can ever Bate his pupils by doing their work ^them. He may properly do so only as will serve to show them a way of doing it, and no more Every one who ever comes to be educa ted ab all, is, in a true sense, self-educa ted. ''For it is the voluntary application and spontaneous exertion of mind that begets intellectual flexibility, strength; and power. The vital force is, indeed under all circumstances, a self-acting force. Circumstances may foster and promote its activity, but-the activity is, after all, its own. He, therefore, is the best teacher who best succceeds in incit? ing his pupils to study, for education comes in no other way than by personal study?mental application. " Lewis M. Ayer. HOW TO INTEREST TEACHERS. The :teacher'si way to the heart of a parent is through his child. As a teacher he can reach it no other way. He may interest him as a politician, story teller, assistant, or companion, but his charac fc*V^r as a teacher is measured by his influ enteron his child. In studying, then how to interest parents we must study all the various relations existing between school and home influences. Nothing is nearer the heart of a trne mother or ?V father than his or her child. No chord "? vibrates in one heart without finding a sympathetic response in the other. It is an axiom that the parent's judgment is always prone to decide in favor of his child. This is nature, and must be ^recognized in all the dealings of teachers Pwur>parents and their children. It fol? lows, then, that the first way to interest ; parents is to 1 show a deep interest in person ; JiJj welfare op each child. In order to do this honestly, the num? ber of pupils committed to the care of a teacher must not be so large as to remove her from personal contact with each one. She must s1u>w what interest she has, not Attempt to palm off what she has not. In "other words this interest must be real and genuine towards each scholar under her care. It is often said that the teach? er is " in loco parenlis " (in the place of | the parent), but bow can this be unless for the time she acts and feels ?omewhat like a parent. Tho child under a true teacher has two parents?one at home and the other in the home of the school. There is an earnest love going out to the child from both homes. Unless this parental relation is established, the first 'important element of a true school is wanting. When it is established, and the parent at home believes that the other parent in the school has somewhat of the * same interest in her child she has, the ^.strongest element of iuterest is reached. f"Cnder these circumstances the home j parent commits her child to the school parent with the fullest confidence that everything will be done that it would be Tpossible to do at home. It is a axiom, "Touch me, touch my child." The skillful pastor holds his place in the hearts of his parishioners through their children. The little hoy is taken on his knee, and affectionately patted and fondled. Even the baby's prattle is noticed, and its eyes, hair or health praised. He inquires after the welfare of the absent children and friends, and shows an interest in whatever most inter? ests the family. In this way, through a genuine character, he holds his place, j first in the affections, and then in the respect, of hia flock. Lose no chance to speak a good woed to the parent on behaiip of f the chim>. Parents delight to think their children \ are objects of-special care and interest. Children need this attention. It gives them self-respect and ambition. A pu? pil who is neglected or scolded in the school, or ignored at home, has no incen? tive towards trying to make himself -better. It is sometimes the case that parents undervalue their children, or think them capable of doing more than they are able. They give them tasks which they cannot perform. The teach? er can correct this by a conference with, the parents, and often save them from making serious mistakes in their, chil? dren's education. Cordially invite and urge the parents to. visit the school. They should expect to find it about its every day' work. No change should be made in the. order of exercises because * visitors are. present. In fact, after they are welcomed,, they should be ignored, ",::d expected; to take care of themselves. If visits are frequently made, the school comes to expect them, and takes no notice of those;who are present. A visit to a school unaccustomed to receive it often destroys all good work, vexing the teacher and sometimes leading to bad results. Such visits are far from satis? factory; but cails when the school work is net disturbed, are exceedingly benefi? cial. Parents become deeply .interested in what is going on, appreciate difficul? ties, take note of methods, and come to be more hrsympathy with the teacher. The school becomes a familiar place to the district, a sort of neighborhood home, In which all take a' ??mmbH" interest, i Under such circumstances k .requires no great effort to interest parents. " (j A caution. A word of caution may be necessary to youngiteajch.e,rs.?v Ltjs th^s,: Do not disA cuss with qthera "your-methods of teach? ing. This: is your" business, aud yours alone.' If yort make mistakes, rectify them, but don't tali about it. You will find all sorts of cranks more than ready to give you advice. Hear,..answer respectfully, but have a mind of your own, and change the subject of conversa sion as soon as you politely can.' In this way you will avoid much trouble. When visitors come do not stop to ex? plain what you are about. Go at your work and show by remits what you are doing. /}'?"'. \} There are many other ways of iuter esting parents which will occupy the. columns of future numbers of our paper. It is a most important r abject.? Teachers Institute. ' - ?- What 'it 'promises. : -TT-..-- -.- v r A few weeks ago we had something to say of the suicide of Laura Nourse, who left a remarkable letter accusing G?d of having deserted her and upbraiding Him because she did not, in spite of her pro? fessed love for Him and His command ments, have an.easy, time in this World. We pointed out at the time that ho such promises are made in the.Holy,-A"v}ord-; that the satisfaction of being at peace with God was better than any presump? tive carnal blessing* or so-callei-h?ppr neas. A-minister at Louisville, Ky., takes up this theme, and, while trusting, as .we did, that the unhappy woman was ; in tsan^I$|l sbe^plmpgedthito tbe&w?ter, ffel?rtrtTduty trrreTJall UfefacPthSt -she "labored, as only loo many persons do, under the hallucination that: 'religion should allow one to have what is materi .ally and often sensually, "a good time in this world." vThe Kentucky pre .cher adraU^ed that in the Old Testament tbe^Hepr^ws were ipibiaiied temporal blessings tr_r? jpjgr would refrain from idolatry,' but the promise was rather to the Nation than to individuals. The pious seven thousand who did not bow the knee to B.ial'sbfiVi d as much from the terrible drouth- as did the guilty idolators, and in the devastat? ing wars all suffered alike. We see Dives, a prince, robed in pufple^'an'd fine linen, taring sumptuously every-irhiy in his palace, while Lazarus, the child of God, lied sick and suffering and starv? ing in the gate. Nero, the {wofligate, the tyrant, the moral mounter of Jiistury,. is on the throne of the woild's Empire, while Paul, the pure Apostle and Chris? tian hero, is fowafcen, friendless, and in fetters. And yet Paul and Lazarus "were the*-, favored of-God, rather than Nero anrTDrves. vv The learned divine followed this,up b? proofs that the man who seeks righteous? ness is oftener the victim of persecution than the favorite of fortune; thus r fU Joseph had not been virtuouB, he would not have been ca?t into prison. Because David was good, Saul persecuted him. Because; the three Hebrew* were true, they were thrown into the fiery furnace. John the Baptist was beheadvd hecause he opposed sin. -The A prudes were persecuted and put to death because of their faithfulness. ' Look at Pauf at Philippi. He had done no wrong and violated no law, yet because he preached the gospel be was arrested, cruelly beaten and cast into prison with his feet "fast in the stocks," contrary to all law, all jus? tice, and in spite of his being a "Roman citizen." How Christians have grown in charac? ter and the science of the saints is showu by several Biblical illustrations. For instance: If Jairus', daughter had not been sick unto death he would not have gone after Jesus. But for his blindness Bartimeus would never have said : "Thou son of David, have mercy on me," and ? would not have followed Christ rejoicing. Had the man sick of the palsy in Caper? naum been in health he would not have glorified God for sins forgiveu as well as for body,restored- - There is not a minister of the Word who has not numerous examples of those .truths in his own experience, and some? times the fallen woman has been iud to the sheltering arms of Jesus because the dying words of her little child imp'ored her to follow him whither he was going, from the abode of sin to the realm of eternal beatitude. ' The mighty pontiff, beaten down by human brutality and driven from his home, exclaimed: "Because I have loved justice, therefore I die in exile." It is related of a historic character, a man of war, that be called upon his countrymen to follow him somewhat in this language: "I promise you hard marching, poor fare, death to some, wounds, privation, the earth for your bed, and the stars or clouds for your can? opy. Nothing will be easy. All will bft hard. JBut in the end our country will be-free, and glory will be our*, dead or alive." The Christ promises his followers no happiness on earth except such as comes from duty well performed and the grati? fication of final perseverance. They are prepared to be mocked at and slain by an unbelieving world. But, in the end, there is to be for them a place of refresh? ment, light and everlasting repose. The heart of the true believers will be kindled with faith to sustain trials and afflictions, and'at the last moment angels will descend, even into the meanest hovel consecrated by grace, and bear the faithful but smitten spirit to a home be? yond the stars. ? A man who had been dispossessed of his property and forced to vacate by the' finding of a will, merely remarked ihat there was much truth in the old saying about "where there's a will there's a way." I'?Never seek to be intrusted with your friend's secret; for no matter bow faithfully you may keep it, you will be If-able in'a thousand contingencies to the suspiciou of having betrayed it. ? There are remedies for alj .thing's but death. A Curious Story. Mr. Jack Richards and family, of Mexico, are here visiting friends and relatives. Mr. Richards has been absent for nearly twenty years,. spendiug his time in Texas and Mexico. He has been traveling lately over the United States and Canada with bis little daugh? ter Emmie, who was held captive by the Indians in the Indian Territory for about a year. Little Emmie is the heroine of a true Indian story, and is the object of attraction and interest wherever she goes. Thousands go to see the little girl on crutches, who spent twelve long, Weary months among the cruel savages. Space will not permit us to give a detail of her capture, of the sleepless nights spent by her parent" and-friends in a fruitless search Tor her, of the privations and sufferings she underwent while in her captivity. There is material here for a book of thrilling interest. Her father with an exploring party was stationed on Beaver Creek in the Indiau Territory. Little Emmie^ who Was then ten years old. was sent to the ppring for water, and while there was captured by the Indians. Her whereabouts remained, in obscurity for some time; but by the aid of some friendly Indians it was ascertained that she was held well guarded in the wig? wams of the Indians. Any attempt to rescue her by force might result in the*, death of her rescuers and herself. The services of a renegade were secured who visited tho wigwam In which the girl was, acquainted her of the intention of her father and friends to rescue her. At a time when the Indians leasj, expected., it, they were attacked' by-tbe rescuers and the little girl was restored to the fond embrace of a living father. Several Indians were killed during" the rescue. No time was lost in retfacing.their steps as they feared the Indians would attempt to recapture the girl and kill the whole party. Their fears proved true, for they hadn't proceeded far before a large band of Indiaus surrounded little Emmie and her-four captors and commenced to fire upon them. Death seemed inevitable to the whites; but they were well armed, and at every crack of their well aimed rifles a redskin's death? yfcll was heard. The Indians were soon driven back and the little party pursued their homeward journey. During the battle little Emmie was bit five times with bullets, which made her a cripple for life.?Carroll, 6a., Free Press, ii . -? ?-? v? f\ T ' . I The President to Marry. * - * ' * * ? "On his recent trip to the woods," slyly remarked a well know New Yorker to day, "the President met an acquaint? ance, a young widow, whom the gossips have not yet named, but who Is undoubt? edly nearer , his heart than any of the young misses who have been mentioned as his fiancees" The meeting was ar? ranged by Dr. Ward, who holds himself responsible for the whole business. This widow is about 30, is given to emponpoint and will tip the scales at about 165 dounda^ She lids lit) Children, and enjoys a comfortable income from a snug little property inherited from her "mother. She was in Washington last May, and saw the President twice with? out ^attracting any attention. There is no doubt that the Presideut and the widow are much interested in each other, but the President is a little shy about ?telling sister Rose, don't you you see? The widow belongs to an excellent ?New York family, but Miss Rose may or may not approve of having the acquaint? ance continue. The President told an 'Intimate friend confidentially the other evening that he never felt the need of a wife so much R? since Coming to Wash-: ington. The President and Miss Rose' are totally unlike in their thoughts and actions and the latter is wholly absorbed in her literary labors. I - The ladies of Washington '.Would re Presideut would be sorely disappointed. "What a grand wedding we will have," exclaimed one of the attacbees of the White House, "if this rumor proves true/- / " The President, by two moves,, has be? come entirely neparated TVom all iff his sold bachelor companions mid lias no chance for the d>rhriihJ"*bf clutf*rrre, as in the old Buffalo days. All his chums of yore are hundreds of miles away, and js. it any wonder that the President "keenly ' realizes the utter loneliness of bis life? Since the 4th of March the hurly-burly of official life has kept his mind fairly occupied, but it is quieter now, and homesickness enn reach even older .hearts: than j 'the President's.?

While 1^cannot boast of the largest stock in the cily, I certainly have the NEW? EST. While 1 have not one of the larger and more handsome store-rooms, my rent costs less ; and as I do not employ so great a number of Clerks, I dn not have that expense to bear. As I do not buy Cotton to induce trade, I have no losses to make up on my Goods. I could well afford to buy Cotton, as some do, offering a higher price than couid be had ALL CASH, for the sake of the trade in the bale or load. My idea is that it is better to sell the Cotton for the most it will bring ALL CASH, and then buy your Goods where you can do best. To do this, try me before buying, anil I'll bo sure ft) sell you. If I find that people require me to buv Cotton before they will trade with me, guess I can do it as the others do. The LONG AND SHORT of the whole matter is, I AM HERE. I'VE COME TO STAY.
