w Roy; x\ Word to Teachers of Country! [ Schools. Do the teachers employed in country schools realiz- that they can work a might' rovolu lion for good? Many of t a school houses in the country m unsightly objects. That i- not the fault originally of t? .chers, but of those who caused th^m to be built in unsightly spots, or took tio pains to make them attractive in appearance. If they remain unatractive that will be the fault of the teacher. Children naturally love llowers. Most ot them love to work among 11 >wers, and nearly all would with a little encourgement. Let every teacher mark out flower beds around the school ^ house, and have the children plant them with llowers, and then cultivate them. Let a particular bed be assigned to each * class, then a generous rivalry will arise to 6ee which bed is best cultivated and cared for. Many an instructive lesson can be taught while cultivating. Botany is one of the moist attractive of studies, and with a little art the teacher can make each leaf, each flower, teach 1 tfl particular lesson. Show the children how a plant breatheR why a plant grows in one kind of soil, while another requires a very different variety ; why one requires a great deal of water,and another must have plenty of shade; why one drinks a great deal of water, and another will thrive on a very little. Thus beauty and instrution may be joined. When a child goes to school through a bower of flowers it feels better, studies better and carries home some of the taste ? for the beautiful it has taken in on the way, and it will not be[ long until flowers are cultivated and borne made more beautiful thereby. Some one has said that music is the great civilizer. In this flowers will keep an even pace with music.

Solon Good in American Farmer. 1 am sitting the silent shadows Of the Farm House by the stream \nd [ look out in the mellow starlight While in meuiory 1 dream; And as the honeysuckle's fragran breath. Is wafted to my door, Behold I live again historic days? Glad golden days of yore, I watch the stately queen of nigh ascend Yon jeweled dome on high, Far over lofty trees whose ghost-liki forms The midnight storms defy; And fleecy clouds, so noiseless in tin air, Cast shadows on the tloor, As in my dreams in rhapsody I live, Those happy days of yore Within these vine-clad walls, sof footsteps fall, Shod with benignant peace, Without, on terraced hills the cooiri) doves Bring to the heart suroease From every care, while fears taki rapid wing. As to me o'er and o'er, There comes the blessed glow of faitl and hope From gladsome days of yore, Old years like morning dew have llei But the farm house t>v the stream Has added clustered vines with nev perfume . ,.uK? ? wu;ii inr >uu uoin gieam And the glad days of now are just ai sweet As the years which went before, Kor they have garnored up tlie ripen ed love Sown in the days of yore.
