IKnnison did tbc work, nnd he tried
to extinguish the fire, but failed.

A most excellent lecture was, (leuvr
cred by Dr. Johns. m, of Humboldt,
ou the teacher's profession. The true
teacher, like Horace's poets, was born,
not made. Money is not his sole
object. lie feels his responsibilities,
has well-defined aims, aud discharges
his duties as thoiurh thev were his
life-time work. In dosing, he recom
mended the ftudy of language as
developing a high state of mental
culture.

various subdivisions of each, and their
rubs for inflection, emphasis, modu
lation, etc.
Query bx "I have some recol
lection of his father's being a poor
man." What is the case of man?
Stiilwell and Kennedy, predicate nom
inative; others, possessive case; while
a fv.-.v claimed il was an objective.
Dr. Johnson, English grammar, who
taught advanced English grammar
philo'ogically. took the position that
the objective is never tho. object of a
preptjsition, but that the pixqKJ.-ition
and noun following constitute the
object of a verb, or an adverb mtxli
fying it, or an adjective modifying a
noun.
Arithmetic, by Prof. Kennedy
ideas before words. Explained sub
traction of eonqxHir.il numbers, show
ing that we did not "Ixirrow." Illus
trated fractions and various operations
in them by means of a circle. Showed

Walker nnd Miss Clark, each of whom
discarded specific rules and aimed to
follow nature. The reading was, in

Parker, accompanied by the organ.

if We'unHerstand that all of our fam
ily groceries are going to quit keeping
whisky,; niost of them have done so.
The ' Women's perambulating prayer
meeting' did not scare them out, for
we have, not got so low as to have such,
a thing yet. Our grocery men quit
from a sense of duty ami profit, fi.r
there is more whisky drank as sample
than they can sell.
The ' impression has gone abrorrd
that .the school tax in this county has j
been defeated. It was only deferred j
until the April term, and the prospect j
was never better for another tax to be !

manners are so often external, the
veneer and vami.-h, the bright glitter-
ing gold, the rind, the exterior which
cloaks that which is coarse, bad and
dissipated that so many good people
object to jxiliteness, and watch with
suspicion whoever idiows good breed
ing. I disdain pretenders ; we have no
love for polish that is used as a substi
tute for principle; I want the real,
not the delightful ostensible. I pre
fer a thousand times over a little rough
ness, plainness and awkwardness of
deportment a manner that has the
"hearty and hardy elements of na
ture" in and behind it to any of the
extra airs and showy graces which
seem indispensable in our best society.
There is true and fake olitcness, and
their difference is as the real features
and flesh of the face to a mask.
So, dispense with affectation. Make
mm affable, generous, intelligent, no
ble and philanthropic, and his actions
will naturally tend to true politeness.
Having these qualifications, it needs
but an effort to express them in the
simplect, noblest and most natural
manner to acquire true politeness.
