Te}??hiH^'Column, J. G. CLINKSCALES, Editoe. iVirni (A4 Nathnlle Christian Advocate. FEB80NAL DTFLXTEHCE OF THE TEACH? ES. Yet noised with skill, what datsllngfruits appear! ? E'en now sagacious foresight points to show A little beach of heedless bishops here, And there, a chancellor in embryo, Or bard sublime, if bard may e'er be so, As Milton, Shakespeare?names that ne'er shall die! [Shenstone, 1742. These lines from Sheostoae's "School mistress" have been quoted by some critics in connection with Gray's "mate inglorious Milton," written eight years later. The "possibilities slumbering in a school room" may well interest alike the poot, the patriot, and the Christian. There are many influences which may help to bring: oat these possibilities, for good or evil. The building with its "little beaches," the children and the homes which seod them, the public tone of the neighborhood, its history, tradi? tions, and .usages, the books studied or read, tho character, scholarship, manners and morals of the teacher?all these and other causes are at work in every school room. We are now concerned about the last one mentioned?the personal influ? ence of the teacher. There are so many helps for the young teacher in oar day, be is iu danger of makiog a serious mistake. He may be led to think that good teaching (in its widest sense) is au art, or scieoce, or even a sleight-of-hand accomplishment, that can be readily taught by an expert There is no short or royal road to good teaching other thao the king's highway of good living. He who wishes to teach well mast try to live well. He who wishes to do something in this high call? ing, mast aim to be .something. There is po easy way by which a narrow, frivo? lous man can do a great work on human minds and hearts. It is a significant sign of the times that so many choice young men and women are "preparing to be teachers." We may hope they have a right view of all that such preparation involves. Each one of them bas thoughtfully I felt and said, "I must not only know more than I now know, but I must ?e-more . than I now am." As division of labor is becoming more complete, the highest callings,' even up to the ministry, "come to be looked upon as professions, as means to an end. This may be necessary and proper to some extent. But it will be well to remember the wide chasm which divides the- sordid man -who teaches to make a living, from the earnest man who makes a living that ho may teach. To begin with that which is least in importance, tho teacher, by his personal influence, may do mach to determine the amount of scholarship imparted to his school. Tue genial forces and motives .are the most powerful io the long run. The young have a most sacred right and privilege to be governed. They, must have a protecting w?ll of law around - them. But sympathy and kindness may color, and-even cushion, the rigid frame? work. Tho iron baud of authority oped not be ?ris?iag with needle points: it may be covered with a soft glove. ^In ?" plainer words, the common boy will do more -work, and better: work, if he has confidence in his teacher. The free Spirit'of a cheerful worker is better than that of the "quarry slave scourged to his dungeon." The best and shortest way in the end to secure this confidence is to deserve it. Try to be just and fair minded rather than to persuade your pupils that you have these' qualities. Children often have surprisingly accu? rate ideas of fairness and justice. A teacher may- be" truthfal- and just, and yet he may not have a very positive hold . on his school. There is high authority for the distinction between a righteous man and a good man.. Sometimes a pop ! alar phraze, or even a preposition, is suggestive. School boys may believe a " man while they do not believe in him. Another element necessary for the teacher's ? highest influence may be ex? pressed in the word unselfishness ; or, perhaps; disinterestedness may express it more clearly. This trait will not be awarded to him because he distinctly and obtrusively claims it. He must tru? ly possess it, and habitually live it, and then it will be'seen, or rather it will be left. If a geaoral rale can be safely ventured, it may be said that the teacher will have as much credit for disinterest? edness as he deserves. As he grows older, he will find himself inclined to say with Wordsworth that the gratitude of his pupils oiten reaves him "mourning." His influence may tell ou the kind of scholarship, and this is more important thao the amouDt. - Hameraton's fine de? scription of an intellectual life is worth quoting here.: ''The essence , of an intel? lectual life does not reside in extent of science, or in perfection of expression, hut in a constant preference for higher thoughts over lower thoughts ; and this preference may be the habit of a mind which has not any considerable amount of information. It is the continual ex? ercise of a firmly noble choice between that which is perfectly jast, and that which falls a little short of justice." The. teacher's influence may do much, directly and indirectly, to fashion the in? tellectual life of his pupils, however limited their scholarship. A lesson which in the hands of one teacher will puff up, by auother can be made to build np, to edify. It is often the good fortune 01 the teacher to teach oven more than he knows. He may have a pupil supe? rior to himself in native faculties. This pupil can get more from a role, an exam? ple, an illustration, thao. the teacher puts into it. The prophets of old sometimes handed over to their successors truths which they themselves did not clearly see. They passed down a valaable pack? age which they were not allowed to open. It may be so with the faithful teacher. Besides, the teacher does not give his pupils pieces of coin or precious jewels, which, however valaable, are dead. He gives living seed that will bear fruit perpetually. All else beside scholarship may be in? cluded under the "wide term, character. Here the teacher's influence is unmeas? ured. It is a solemn thought that one human being can draw another into hie orbit. But tho fact is still more solemn. It is literally something tremendous ; that _ is, it is something to be trembled at by parents, teachers, and all thoughtful men and women. It takes words that are strongly figura? tive to express this startling fact. We speak of personal influence. That means that something flows oat of one person and reaches another. We call certain persons magnetic. This means they draw people to them strangely. We say of one man that he led his companions astray. Of another we say that his company helped some one or strengthen? ed him. Let as come back to the common ex? pression, "the teacher's ioflueoce." No man can, *in a moment, make himself well, or strong, or wise, by a resolve, "I will be a healthy, wise man." No teach? er can, by a sudden purpose, cause this healing stream to flow from him and fill the school room. Yet a man may enter upon a coarse of exercise and study which will naturally tend to make him strong and wise. So a teacher may hum? bly and earnestly resolve to build up his persoaal life and character directly. This being dooe, the outflow, the influ? ence will be forthcoming. Let the teach? er bo kept watchful and humble by the thought that of every weakness or flaw in his life or character, an indefinite number of copies may be taken. An old rabbi is quoted as saying: "I have learned mach from my masters, more from my companions, but most of all from my pupils." The influences pervading a cheerful school room ere not all in oue direction. Action and re? action answer to each other here as else where. Where is the earnest teacher - who will not admit that he has been Soften taught by his pupils ? Their ques? tions teach us. Theft answers, even i: when technically wrong, may teach jis. Their natural passions and impulses ' teach us. Their premature suffering and patience may teach us. Some of our pupils live in homes in which our own young characters would have been hope? lessly wrecked, if we had beeu exposed to their ungenial influence. 0iher3 of them have troubles that call loudly for sympathy. It may be that the hours spent in the school room are the happiest hours in the day to some, or may be made so by our thoughtfulness and care. The majority of all the teachers in our country will be found to be females. What a vast field for all the womanly influences for good that may be put forth by these many thousands of patient, active women! Let the teacher be a ceaseless learner. From his masters, "the kingly spirits throned -in history"; from his compan? ions, the men and women who make up his own generation; from his pupils com? mitted to him, let him learn daily and hourly. Let him freely receive, and freely give, all healing influences. A sermon by Dr. Bushneil on "Uncon? scious Influence," and a lecture by Prof, (now Bishop) Huntington, on " Uncon? scious Tuition," are well worth reading. Here is a characteristic passage from the lecture: . "You want to rear men fit and ready for all spots and crises, prompt and busy in affairs, gentle among little children, self-reliant in danger, genial in company, sharp in a jury-box. tenacious at a town meeting, unreducible in a crowd, tender at a sick-bed, not likely to jump into the the first boat at a ship-wreck, affectionate and respectful at home, obliging in a traveling party, shrewd and just in the market, reverent and punctual at the church, not going about, as Robert Hall said, 'with an air of perpetual apology for the unpardonable presumption of be? ing in the world,' nor yet forever suppli? cating the world's special consideration, I brave in action, patient in suffering, be? lieving and cheerful everywhere, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. This is the manhood that our age and country are asking of its educators?well-built and vital, manifold and harmonious, full of wisdom, full of energy, full of faith." May the class-rooms in which influ? ences tending to these results abound, be multiplied an' hundred fold ! Jas. H. Carlisle. Wofford Collcge, S. C. The Force of Habit. We have never Been this story in print. It is attributed to Col. A. S. Colyar, "of Tennessee, and is illustrative of the force of habit: [. :f/ A well-to do old farmer, in due of the best counties of Middle Tennessee, own? ed a large-number of slaves, and ainpug them one old darkey about hits owu age, and whom he. bad known all hi* life. In fact he was one of the "old family negroes," brought out from Virginia. Old VSain? -was a faithful, docile crea? ture, a great favorite with his master, and a sort of privileged character on the plantation. The old fellow was indus? trious and exemplary in his behavior all the year round, except during that period dating from the time when roasting ears begin to ripen and the earliest appear? ance of itofit 'Sam as invariably seized' at that period, with an invincible* desire to run away. ' It recurred as regularly as a fit of "hay fever," was as incurable, and like that disorder, could only be treated by change of air and locality. Sam, understanding this, preferred to take his case in his own hands and ad? minister the treatment in his own discre-_. tion. , Of course, in such a case,, the usual punishment inflicted on "runaway niggers" waa not to be thought of. Re? monstrance was unavailing. Sam de? clared, "He jes' couldn't he'p. hisself," and it became a settled and understood arrangement, that he should go, and that the neighborhood 'should condone his raids on corn-fields and potato patches. After many such escapades, his old mas? ter asked him on one occasion,.'when the matter was under discussion: "Sam, do yoa really enjoy running away?" " 'Deed, Marse John," said Sam, "I does. Hits de moas" fun in de wur)'. Coon huntin' ain't nowhars to hit." "Well,, then," said Marse John, "just let me know the next time you take a notion to start, and I'll go with you, and try it awhile myself." Sure enough, in due season Sam came up, saying: "Ola Marse, de time's mighty nigh when I 'bleeged to lite out. Ef you gwine wid me, you better be giltin' reddy, for when de time comes I got to go quick." "Old Marse" kept a bright look out, and when Sam started he was on hand. They had a delightful. time. They fished occasionally, caught 'possums, robbed orchards aud watermelons and potato patches, picked blackberries for recreation, and haunted the greenest and shadiest nooks of the forest, all of which Sam knew well /'Old Marse" had never enjoyed a summer so much. In fact, he was so much pleased that regularly after? ward ho accompanied Sam when the latter went into annual retreat. At length Sam died. The old master griev? ed for him sincerely. He was sad also over the reflection that his summer pas time would in future be denied him. But, to the amazement of all his friends, and not less his own, when roasting-oar time came again, the fit seized him as strong as ever, and he ran away by him? self. What Colored Folks Believe. Elijay, Ga., November 1.?A silly story of witchery comes from a suburban county, to the following effect: An old negro woman, who has been gaining a livelihood digging herbs in the moun? tains, asked for bread of a negro woman, named Clements, who lives alone with her children The Clements woman re? fused to give the beggar anything to eat, whereupon the root-digger pronounced a curse upon the house and inmates. She returned a few hours later and told the Clements woman to prepare-to die as she would not live until morning. The Clements woman started to pick up a stone to throw at the beggar, when she was seized with terrible pains in the back and side. She crawled to the house, where she died in convulsions. Poison was suspected, but a medical examina? tion failed to reveal the existence of any poison, either vegetable or mineral. The Clements woman had three children, all of whom are now ill, and, it is thought, may die. Over the door of the negro cabin was found a conjure ball, consist ing of red rags, hairs from a black dog's tail and crooked pins. The negroes in the vicinity believe the story and are confident that the woman was bewitched, and threaten the life of: the old root digger, who defies them all. Raised on the Farm, Born and raised on the farm. A boy should thank God for being so fortunate as to be born and raised on the farm, There is no place on this green earth so well adapted to perfectly develop the mind, muscle anr] manhood as a farm ; there a boy 'has the purest nir, the freshest and healthiest frod, plenty of restricted exercise, the brightest sunshine and the soundest sleep?the very condi? tions necessary for the highest develop? ment. Nine tenths of all the men who have made their mark in any business, profession or pursuit, have been born and raised on the farmj; this is not so much because there is better blood on the farm, but because the surroundings of farm life are better calculated to call out what there is in a boy, and develop a full-grown, healthy, perfect and self reliant man.

It is a notable fact that the people of Atlanta and elsewhere arc beginning to be thoroughly convinced that worthless compounds become "shaky" at aU new Innovations, while an honest preparation never fears opposition. Wo do not propose to "wipe out" others, as tie field for ope? ration is largo, and we accord to one and all the same privileges we enjoy. We are not so far lost to business principles as to denounce any other remedy as a fraud, or imitation, or as containing a vegetable poison, ihe effects of which are horri? ble to contemplate. The alarm need not be sounded, for thcro is ample room lor all declining anti-potash, pine-top, slop-wator compounds. If one bottle of B. B. B. is more valuable in effects than half a dozen of any othor preparation, we won't get mad about it. If ten bottles of B. B. B. cures a case of blood poison which others could sot cure at all, it only proves that B. B. B. Is far the best medicine. 20,000 Bottles of B. B. B. have been sold to parties living inside the corporation of Atlanta since it was started two years ago I Why this wonderful sale of u new remedy in so short a time with so little advertising ? It must bo confessed that it is because B. B. B has proved itself to possess merit in the euro of blood, skin and kidnoy diseases. Hundrods of home certificates attest the fact of our claim that in Atlanta and many other points B. B. B. "aro on top," and will stay thore. Many persons desire to know how the B." B. B. acts on the systeiu.Uy entering the circulation, ii modifies the, vitiated blood globule*, increases^ the red .corpuscles, an? tagonizes all poison,.vitaliAs and regenerate* the I'flagging forces, furnishes the pabulum for rich, new blood, elinifuaics all poison through the se oretions, and ihcreases'the appetite, while, by Its wonderful action upon the poxes of the skin, the kidneys, liver aud glandular system, all effete and Impure matter is speedily 'coududted' from the body, leaving tho blood pure, fresh and healthy. By ita magical alterativepowors, B. B.B. unloads the blood of all impurities, unlocks the liver, arouses all secretions, restores nature to its nor? mal condition, uuclouds the troubled brain, clears and beautifies th? complexion, cheers the despon? dent, strengthens tho feeble, claims the disturbed nerves, and induces quiet and peaceful slumbers. It has been In nse over twenty-five years as a pri? vate prescription In tho South. It is no far-fetched, foreign-found or dream-dls covercd subterranean wonder, but is a scientific and hippy combination of recognized vegotable blood poison agents, effected after many years of ?anstaut tue and experiment in the treatment of thousands of some of the most appalling cases of scrofulous, syphilitic and cutaneous blood poisons )? ever known in the Slate, resulting in complete and unparalleled cures of pronounced incurable cases.
