—TMriii 11 liw T1 ■ in—MKTii ■ Teaching a Profession. [concluded.] pends on whether they conquer bad luck crKUccuinb to adverse influences. ‘‘Choice of a Profession”—how many choose wisely ? How many inglorious failures among our business men which are directly traceable to a lack of sound business habits! Many first-class mechanics have been lost to the world through the over ambition of teachers who have taught the child that he could go to Congress rather than handle the chisel and the mallet. The “anvil has been cheated, the goose and the shears have been defrauded, the plane and saw wronged” by this false teaching. The “three black graces,” Law, Physic and Divinity, have many starving disciples who to-day might be well-to-do if they had exercised wisdom in the choice of a profession. Teachers, aid your pupils in this, one of the important things of life. Watch for the latent proclivities of his mind. Trace them, and encourage him to follow them out. This is part of your profession. Do not neglect it.

In our next subdivision, I hope to tramp on no one’s corns. If I do, it is unintentional. Have a single aim in view—go straight to it—swerve neither to the right nor to the left. Let that aim be perfection in teaching. Never rest satisfied until you have reached that point. Don't say that you know enough now, for you only purpose teaching one moriT term. I say resign to-day. If vou go home and continue your school with that idea in your head you may do incalculable injury. Many of us have seen Baath, the actor, on the stage. Did you ever hear of Booth assuming many characters? Did Kean or Jefferson, or Warren personate many or few? They succeeded, and their fame is lasting because of their adhesiveness. their stick-to-it qualities. But what a lamentable failure Bully Bottom made when he undertook to play all of the characters in Pyramus and Thisbe besides being the Lion, the IFuZZ, the Prologue and the Epilogue too. Teachers, stick to your business if you are fitted for it. If you are not fitted for it this advice does not apply to you. Be a teacher to-day, to-mor-row and the next year. Bea teacher from choice or not all. Be a teacher in fact, in truth, in heart, in feeling. Be a builder among men. Be a teacher whom none can distract or turn away from your duties. Self-Reliance —how many lack if How many lack that stamina which hold them up in the hour of trouble and which will enable them to present a bold front to all opposing forces. We look to government, to law, to social orders for assistance but never think of relying on ourselves to get out of difficulty. A majority of the ills of life, of social disorders which we wish extirpated by law are the results of our own feebleness. If aid is asked another is prominently before us : hut if credit is to be given we sec only self. This distortion of the mind is the result of continued reliance on others. It is the symptom of the weakening of the intellect, a dwarfing of the mind. Man was not made to live as does the ivy, clinging to the oak for support. There is no success outside of “self--“•.e.” The politician depends on rs ’ " ha P rcseDts t 0 t * le f front at all times is L’/T' / The merchant rM o< vLXf.Q r n r Our school closes on Friday ne without any extra fl”k teacher who . Abe H— ‘ iuin himself, relies on ‘ impresses his school with a sense of his strength, will succeed. The scholar who rests on bis own powers and does not expect his teacher to ’ carry him through school will stand at the head of his classes. The professional teacher is strong. The very fact that he has adopted teaching as his profession is proof positive that he feels his strength. Are you a decided personage ? Have 1 you the element without which no teacher can succeed, viz : Decision ? ' If you have no decision you do not bebclong to yourself. You belong to whatever force may for the time oppose you. How many perish on this rock '. It made Napoleon’s fame and its lack in his lieutenant lost the empire to the “Little Corporal.” Caesar owed his success to his decision on the battle ; field. Wellington gained Waterloo by his firmness. Charles the Fifth of Germany and Coligni arc notable failures of their day because of their slowness of decision. Be of quick, firm decision if you would succeed. When you make 3 rule, let it be as a law of the Persians. Teach your scholars to act in tbeir daily life as you act in the ►chool-i’oom. Retaatybar, that you are the teacher. that you are put there by the proper authorities and in absolute authority, under the laws of the State. 1 over the occupants of that room. Be I j careful how you use or abuse that power. Manner—it cither makes or mars the man. Manner has made millionaires ' and it has made beggars. It makes and unmakes friendships. It is something which costs nothing, save in its ' results. The peasant and the prince may alike be polite. You can be great und gruff. You cannot be popular and impolite. You cannot learn good manners from books on etiquette, nor can you teach your scholars politeness by repeating the rules there laid down, yog must shew them that it is only by

a hearty, earnest handshake, the genial, whole-souled grecting.will a warm friend meet you, while the selfish rain man will but extend the tips of his fingers to you and say “how do you do" with his tongue, while his teeth bite off the s words like pie crust, A gentleman is , God’s crowning work. He is the last touch, the crowning perfection, and j professional teachers should all be I gentlemen. Here is an old saw—-the Will and j the Way—for us to grind. It is folly ' to say that we have the will to do so ’ and so, but there is no way in which ’ to accomplish it. There is one condition under which there is no way—that is where the will fails. Drove it, did you say? Easily done. There is no such thing, there never was any such , thing, as “a genius.” What an absurd idea that any man could sit down at odd hours and intervals, without preparatory study, and dash off such works j as Sheridan's Pizarro, which, ridiculous I enough, they tell us was written over ■; a ehampaigne supper at a Drury Lane Theatre I If it was written there, the

brunt of the labor had been done before he lifted his pea. By patient, earnest, long, hard study, your scholars can now lay up such a fund of useful inferr . mation that they can draw on it like the merchant does on his bank acI count, as occasion requires. The brilliant speeches, the offhand repartee, the witty after-dinnerspeeches which, comJ 1 ing so unexpected from the lips of some friend, add mirth and joy’ to the occasion, are generally “cut and dry,” and were laid away on the mind's shelf weeks before, for special occasions. This is the way men find away where there is a will. If yotx do not teach your scholars that if they do not prepare themselves beforehand, it matters not how strong the will may be at the time the action is required, the way will not appear to them, they will not be able to unite the will and the way. This is part of your profession, and professional teachers regard it as such. True and False Success —the last division of our paper—is different from the other portions of a teacher's work. Whatever you will pay the price for you may have—is the rule. But the question is what success do you wish fur? Are you working for the flimgv meaningless words of the throng, or are you working to satisfy your conscience, yourself? Ask these questions of your scholars. This world is hollow. It is a sham. Men whom you do not know are backbitingyou. Womcnwhom you have never seen, are hissing at you like so many gees e. People who are neglecting their homes and their families are finding time to run abroad and are ready to run you into Hades itself. Professional talkers arc going from place to place, dropping their accursed, venomous words where they 7 will sap your character from you. Tell your scholars this. Drive it home to their ( hearts and let them see that lie who works for success and counts the praise / of the world his reward is most likely to be disappointed. But there is a true, lasting success, where good work is followed up year after year. There < never was yet a failure where a con- 1 - s scientious teacher gave his whole ener- t gy and life to his work. If his labors 1 . < were not praised by the mouths of men, ' they were by the lives of his scholars. 1 _ _ The value of medicines compounded ‘ by a thoroughly educated physician ( and scientific chemist must be apparent 1 fJ.L.., we take pleasure in commending Dr. J. C. Ayer's Chathar- I tic Pills. Public confidence in them j have steadily increased, until now their! use can be said to be universal. Great and permanent popularity does not I coinc without great merit. Our experiences convinces us that Ayer's Pills I are superior to any others in all the uses for which a cathartic medisine is i employed. They are pleasant to take, and are perfectly safe, sure, and effect- : ual. Ayer's Pills satisfy all the rc-1 I 1 quirments of a reliable family physic ' ; : and their timely use undoubtedly pro-1; longs many lives and promotes the 1 ■ health and comforts of thousands.—!
