WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14. THE SEA-SHELIi. I was an inland child ; the hills Closed round our home their wooded wail The world beyond was hid from me ; I often dreampt what it might be} Longed with a child's impatient feet To tread the city's noisy street, And heard with yearniug heart the call Of the unseen far-distant sea. For in ocr quiet farmhouse, kept Its ancient mantle-piece to grace, Was-one large sheik I left my play, Bow many times, to-?teal away, And" take "it gently from its place, And lay its pink lips to my ear, The captive'voice within to hear. How faint; yet clear, how sweet and low. It sang to me its ocean song r I listened till it seemed my own, That whisper from a world unknown ! Eike one returned from far away, The abell within its piace I lay ; The hills around rose high and strong: What though their prisoner I might be? I knew the secret of the sea ! -Marian Douglas, in March Wide Awake. A Preacher Prodigy. A SKETCH OF THE WONDERFUL BOT PREACH KR OF INDIANA. Editor Sunni/ South: Nothing within the history of Williamstown bas ever produced such a profound sensation -such a strtte of bewilderment-noth? ing so enigmatical as the preiching of the Reverend Pascal Porter, of Indi? ana. The reverend gentleman is now in the 12 year of his age, and in the second year of his ministerial career ; having been borr in the county of JcSerso?. o?ate of Indiana, on the 6tb day of November,. 1871>, at a point about twelve miles from the city of .Madison, where lie has since resided. His father is a farmer of scarcely aver - age intelligence ; his mother's history is, to the writer unknown. The Kev. Porter himself bas but little education having only attended the district school of the neighborhood. In bis fifth year lie learned to read, and during the next four years he learned to write and ac? quired some knowledge of arithmetic. His learning is,, tbe?efors, of necessity ??ry limited. When four years old, (if his history be correct,) he manifest? ed an inordinate desire to preach the Gospel. He would goto church, listen to the preachers of the time, and on his return home would cri tizo the sermons Be had beard, with an accuracy o* judg? ment and profundity of thought, that attracted the attention and excited the wonder of the best scholors of the sur? rounding country. It was with the greatest difficulty that his father re? strained him from preaching y at the age of seven he carried off the honors of ail Cz, literary and debating societies" within his reach. He made tbe New Testament his con? stant study from the age of five, and ] continuously importuned bis father to [ permit him to enter the ministry ; and j at the age of nine bis father's friends advised brm to repress the growing in? clination of his boy no longer. He yielded, and Pascal at once began bis career as a minister of the Gospel. Since then his marvelous performances have pczxlod the scholars and philoso? phers of three States. He has preached but little in Kentucky until now, his labors having been chiefly confined to the States of Indiana and Ohio. He bas so offer of a targe sum of money from a church in Boston, which bas been for sometime attempting to induce ? bim to h^?d* a meeting and preach a aeries of sermons there. But he stead? fastly declines, saying he is not preach- j ing for money. This youthful prodigy is of ordinary j ?ixe, weighing about seventy pounds ; j bis complexion is iight, and his hair a light red, he has a flashing gray eye, a well developed head, his manner when speaking is easy and graceful. His style is nervous and impassioned : his logic clear, accurate and strong. His rhetoric i is almost faultless ; and his language ; clean, pure and dignified. His voice, j while being somewhat thin and feminine, ! has great penetration aud directness, considerable compass and power. He often rises to an eloquence at once ! noble and digniSed. Many of the more credulous have de? clared their belief that he is inspired Old men, and good scholars, say that BO such prodigy of precocious genius has ever appeared among men and he certainly has no parallel even in the admirable Crichton. Thomas Chatterton, or Henry Kirke White. He comes npon the platform after a few boars st edy of the most complex and intricate of scriptural subjects, acd excites the wonder of all who hear him. We have heard Dr. West, Dr. Tal mage and other celebrities of the living pulpit, but we cannot say- that we have ever heard a speaker more at heme in his theme, or who had core accurate and admirable ase of language in the expression of thought. He is simply above criticism; and defies comp?tition. Afttr having beard him preach three sermons, we Can say what Dr. Johnsen said of the poet Gray that 'it is useles3 to praise a:;d vain to blame htm.' He is now commencing hts Southern tour, and will, we hope, preach in Atlanta. He isa member of the sect called the Christian Adventist. M. D. GRAY. Williamstown, Ky. The Tide Turned South Car? olinaward. The Department of Agi icu!'ure is io receipt of a letter from the Southern Emmigration Agen.t of one of 'he larg? est Western railroads asking tt.at he be supplied with a quantity of printed mat? ter ?n a convenient form descriptive of the resources of the State of South Car? olina for distribution to the 'multitude of people who want to come South from the Western State?/ Commissioner Butler is in corres pondeoce with the agent relative to ar? ranging for an excursion of Western people to visit South Carolina The agent says this can bc done whenever proper encouragement is extended. The Commissioner bas written for fuller in? formation in regard to the matter. The Board of Agriculture will bo re? quested to authorize the Commissioner to pubitsb a pamphlet to meet the de? mands now being made for information about the State. The department has received a letter from Mr. John S Phebus, of Nebraska, asking for the Hand-Book and other publications about the State.

TEACHERS' COLUMN. EDITED BY J. T. WILDER. Answers to Questions. Is it deemed advisable to teach pupils matters pertaining to the civil government of a County as well a? to the State ? Most emphatically, Yes. It is emi? nently proper hi order to make them thinking citizens and to exercise the elective franchise wisely, that they should know thc terms for which the respective officers of a County are elected, how elected, how paid, the salary o? each, and the specific duties and functions of each ofiicer. What political division of laud, and the only one has a curved boundary, and why ? Delaware. Thc three lewer coun? ties of'Penn's Woods' becoming dis? satisfied with the government, applied to William Penn to be absolved from the government of Pennsylvania. Ile reluctantly yielded to their desire and request, but the question of fixing the boundary line arose, which was set? tled in the following manner : From New Castle as a centre, a semi-circle was drawn with a radius extending to the present boundary. What is a boomerang ? It is a missile of war used by the natives of Australia. It is parabolical in shape. See Chambers Encyclo? pedia, Vol. I.

What is the celebrated Achilles puzzle ? What is Mollaglascov. Its origin. The news of a morning fire in New York reaches San Francisco before daylight. Explain. What are Pestalozzis main princi? ples in teaching ? "Method vs. Scholarship." Who of our readers will volunteer to discuss the pros and cons of 'Meth? od vs. Scholarship,' in teaching. Both ar_- essential elements in the make-up of the qualifications of a good teacher ; but which has the as? cendancy, or which has the tendency to ascendancy ? Letter Writing in School. Composition in some way or other should not fail to be iii the list of common school studies. But as time and other circumstances render it al? most or quite impracticable to acquire i an extensive course in Composition; and Grammar in the common schools, teachers should not fail to give, and to require of pupils such exercise in this direction as will conduce to a j practical business education. Very few pupils will have occasion as men or women to indite essays, critiques or articles for newspapers in which the finer points of the science of Grammar and Composition, and the reasoning powers are evoked, but ali will at some day or other have need of writing letters, and uo pupil should leave the public school without know? ing how to do this. "L'.-t the regu? lar exercise in composition at least j once a month consist in writing let- ] ters. Put a model letter upon the j board and explain its several parts, j their proper position, relation and j form, also the mode of writing the j address on the envelope. Let every j letter be duly signed, put into an eu- j velope and addressed, and submitted to criticism like an ordinary cora- j position. This exercise should include ! business letters as well as letters of ] friendship, and a judicious teacher j I can make it very interesting and i profitable, lo connection with bus I iness letters the advanced pupils j should be instructed in writing other j I business papers, such as notes, re j ceipts, bills, inventories, checks and I the like. This is a kind of com pe ! silion of which no man or woman can j afford to be ignorant, and our com j mon schools, aiming at a practical i education for ail their members; j should supply the needed instruc? tion." ; An Advanced Class in Speil i ing. j Ttils ls riot Theory. Wt have tried lt for Years. j The best way to conduct an ad j vanced spelling exercise is : j 1. To conduct thc exercise on the j oral plan, at least two times out of j three. i 2. To arrange the members of the I class in a line standing np, rather than i sitting. j o. In order to secure the strictest j attention, pronounce the word but j once. j 4 Let every pupil pronounce the j word before spelling. 5. In order to save time and insure j readiness do not permit thc pupil to j pronounce the syllabics, j 6. Never t*-Ii the pupil whether thc j word which he spells is spelled cor j rectly or not. Let the class deter ! mine that, the first pupil who notices ! that a word has been spelled iiicor i rectly correcting the mistake, and ; going* above trie one who failed. I 7. Carefully note all words which i were not spelled coi rectly on first j trial, and review the spelling of them ] before the exercise closes. 8. If time permits, write all words I which were not spelled correctly on i tile blackboard. j 9. Lei. the penalty be, being sent I to the foot ol the class, for indistinct 'enunciation, inattention, whispering, or disregard of any of the rules, whether it be accidental or inten? tional. ? 10. Require the scholar to give the definition ;.f ihe wi nls in the lesson. To use words without knowing what they mean is parrot-?ke. 11. Require the pupil to give a sentence in which the word which he spells is correctly employed 12. Occasionally let the class have a spoiling match by side ( lio-,sing. - i-ll ?

On the first nay of May next the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church will convene in New York. Delegates from all over the world will be ?ri attendance, and many men famous for wisdom and eloquence will be among the number. Norway, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, In? dia, China, Japan, and the continent of Africa wili 3? be represented. The general conference is held once every four years, the last one having con? vened at Philadelphia in 1884.
