jgy Rev Curran delivered a lecture on Temperance at the ( Presbyterinn cLurch, Tuesday] night. The ultra temperance peo-; pie, we understand, took some exceptions to his remarks. Others who occupy the middle ground, were well pleased with his effort We were not present. — In an article on the first page of this paper, headed “Our Civil Service,” will be found Radical testimony as to the profligacy and corruption of the present administration.

Trials are that from which few persons are exempt hi whatever occupation they engage, and sure ly School Teachers can form no exception to the general rule, when I they feel resting on them the responsibility of training the minds of from thirty to seventy account nbT° persons for a life work. Yet it is a fact, well understood by all. that human nature repug nantly dwells on and recounts tri als, delighting rather to communicate to ones associates triumphs over trials and successes which . lighten our own hearts and shed happiness all around us. B it. since it has become inciim licnt on me to represent the trials of a teacher. I will endeavor to name a few, but do not think I shall name all the trials with which the teacher meets, for this I could not d » by anv means in the short time allotted to me N>r shall I | apeak of all the trials with which , he is liable to meet in a single t Tin. J saying n 'thing of tiie raanv trials i which present themselves term asI ter term Those who have never had the trial of teaching, go with me, in imagination, to the school consist ing of thirty to seventy scholars, all looking to you for example, and 1 it is not only the dutv of the teach ' er to inculcate in the minds of tin’ ' youths intrusted to his c; r • «urh ' knowledge as is found in our text ■ liooks. but also a knowledge of the gre at importance of leading useful lives, and have not teachers met with difficulty <»u this point? ! Observe the teacher, as with high and bright anticipations he. young awl enthusiastic, liegins his work. Perhaps he is so unfortunate ns to engage in some out of the ' way village, where are collected I many children who have lieen al i lowed such freedom that thev have lost that innocent timidity found >•<» agreeable in those of rural life. ■nd where the restraints of refined society have not extended in such I • I abundance as to poli h the rough ness of their characters There is to be met with many a one wlTose actions are repulsive to human ns hire lt«elf. wlf »se language chills the blii-l. an other whose |»ecvish, quarrelsome disposition will scarce ly permit him to live in peace with ■uy one. Even f>om the milder, gentler child are incessant inter 'ruplioua, however busy the teach-

er may be: “Teacher, I have lost my book“ 0. Teachey I have spilt mv ink“ Please, marm, I have jammed my fingerthe various whims of doting mammas and indulgent papas, in regard to how much or how little their own darling offspring shall be let alone and others whipped, amicably ad justed. — But is all a teacher's life a scene of trial and sandy waste in which is tube found no oasis? Does he encounter tria s, day after day, toil on, week after week, without enjoyment or reward? No. All these seeming trials are as the passing shower on the verdant prairie. How pleasantit is for the earnest teacher to ,u*e his svhoo’ assemble at an early hour, with ha: pvcotin tenances, ready for the exercises of the day. How cheering to the heart, what a joy leaps up within the breast at the willing sell dar, rea ly to obey the slightest wish of his teacher, and with a loving, as fectionate heart show his gratitude, the earnestness and zeal with which he engages i.i the duties assigned to him When we see such sehol ars. doing all we can ask of them, earnestly striving to gain knowledge, always readv to obev, never giving us any trouble, is not this a rich rewarl? We say. then, that the teacher’s life is not alia life of trial, but one of eij »vin? it, and on • which is rewarded with honor and respect Let us then, dear t ache/s. labor e irjiestly f »r: the advancement of the cause, believing that we shall receive abundant recompense I) C.
