G. A. NetherXon's Presentation Address on Presenting to Prof. Dai'ey, on liehalf of the Teachers' Institute., an "Ojfice Set," as a Testimonial of Ai'ireciattuii. Mr. Superintendent . It has de-
; volved on me to represent and ex- ' press the sentiment of gratitude and j appreciation whiuh, at the close of j this session of the Marshall County
Teachers' Institute, we, as teaehers, feel for your earnest efforts to advance the standard of education in this county since you have occupied your preseut position, and also of your kindness to us persoually. For more than twelve years you have been, either as a teacher or County Superintendent, identified with tbe educatioual interests of MarShall county, and we believe that io all the varied relations, you have sustained to the educatioual interests of the couuty, you have ever labored earnestly in their behalf; aud we are also fully impressed with the fact that it is due greatly to your indefatigable efforts in behalf of the schools of our county that they arc fast taking rank
among the best of tbe public schools of the State. We, as teachers, pledged you our earnest co-operation in maintaining the position already attained by the schools of the county, and in elevating the standard of education still higher as fast as possible. We believe your long and intimate connection with school work enables 3ou to understand the peculiarly arduous duties often imposed on us In connection with tue teachers work, and for your sympathy and valuable aid in this behalf, we sincerely thank you. hoping that you may long continue to occupy the important position of County Superintendent which you now adorn; but, whatever changes the future may bring to either you or U5. be assured that we shall ever remember, with kindest regard for you, our association together; and now, sir, permit me, in behalf of my. fellow teuehers of this institute, to present you this "office set," which we have f iought not an inappropriate testimonial of our appreciation and esteem; aud which we ask you to accept as a memento of our regard, which shall be as enduring as the results you have achieved in behalf of the noble cause of education in this county in which work we are all colaborers. As, day after day, you toil on In the performance of your office work, may this souvenir of our regard mutely remind you of the kind remembrance in which you will ever be held by us, earnestly hoping, as we do, that your pathway through life may bo ever strewn with the choicest flowers, happiness with no thorns of sorrows; and that your transit o'er life's tempestuous sea may be darkened by nc clouds of disappointment nor disturbed by any "wrecks" of misfortune. To which Mr. Bailey responded as follows: Teachers of Marshall County: I need not say that I appreciate this evidence of your friendship and confidence in the reception of this mag nificent souvenir at tbe bands of our honorable representative, Mr. G. A. Netherton. The sentiments expressive of your faith in tbe ultimate success of our schools fills me with jiy unutterable, and I can rind no words suitable to express my grateful thanks for such distinguished recognition. At this happy moment fellow teaehers, when merriment and good will toward all seems so prominently stamped in the countenances before mp, I cannot help feeling sad at the thought that this is our closing exercise. Fresh fields of labor lie before us, awaiting our action. This week we have been sharpening our scythes and preparing to begin afresh ottr labors, with the advent of th new year. Oh, let us here resolve that as a band of laborers in the same great cause, our interests are common Int rests, and that we will be true to ourselves, true to our profession, and true to our pupils. My co laborers in tbe great work of educating the youth of our county, in reply to your most noble declaration of conti lenco and friendship, I can only say that while it has been my happy privilege to serve you as county superintendent of schools, I have not unfrqaently realised my great need of more knowing? In the administration of schoool management, aad my inability to do for the schools all that ought to be done for them. I have sought the advice an 1 experience of my co-laborers in all important measures looking toward improvement in our public schools, and have always received at your hands tbe heartiest sentimeut of approval. Your devoted loyalty to the schools of Marshall county insures their popularity among the masses, and their usefulness to the children. There is no greater evidence of patriotism and true devytlon to our schools than that witnessed in your regular attendance at this Institute during tho past week. And now, teachers, in accepting this magnificent office set, as an evidence of your friendship and confidence, I do so with a heart too full for utterance. It is not for its value in dollars and cents, fellow teachers, but the moral support it gives your humble servant in the laborious and responsible duties before him, that renders its acceptance most gratifying. A confidence so unhesitatingly reposed claims much in return. Am I, your 8uperintendant, able to maintain this confidence? By the assistance of you, my fellow teachers, I hope to succeed io this great work of school reformation. It is not my individual interest which seeks your co-operation, but the interests of over eight thousand children who receive instruction at your hands. I am proud, fellow teachers, to know that your work in the schoolroom is bringing around such harmonious results, and that your judgment Is fast allaying prejudice aad steadiiy cementing together the various parts of our free school system. To you, my most faithful co-workers, do i entrust the education of this grand army of over eight thousand three hundred children. You will guard their most saceed interests with jealous care. May we so teach, act, and live, dear teachers, that when our work of teaching is over we shall lay aside the pen with this magnificent jewel and these beautiful office adornments, feeling a happy consciousness of hav
ing fully discharged our every duty J toward our pupils, our patrons, out -I selves and, best of all, toward our j God. Kot Surprised. When we consider the little attenj tion paid to the laws of health, we j are not surprised at the indifference
manifested in relation to purity of daily food. If all articles were like Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder, this indifference might answer; their perfect wholesomeness would iusuro us against all evil consequences.

J. 9. LANOKKBArOH. A Happy Mew Year." This expression was uttered yesterday (on the first day of January Eighteen-hundred and Seventy-nine), by millions. The simple meaning of the phrase is a wish that the person addressed may be happy during the year. It is a large wish, expressed iu a few words, and comes like a messenger bird of glorious plumage; or like a gleam of sunshine irradiating palace and cottage with its genial glow. We too, join and shout "A Happy New Year" to every body and more especially to the teachers of Marshall county and tbe readers of the Educational Column. W can not take each one of you by the hand, look into your eyes and utter the wLhjyou are too widely scattred. But we send you the word by " Uncle Sam s" post boy, and trust it will come safe to hand, warm and earnest as it leaves us. Wo wish hnppinet's to eachand all of our fellow teachers. We trust they may be bappy at home with "wife, children and friends" and those who have no wives, or husbands we pity! We wish them happiness in their associations, peace and prosperity in their school-rooms, aud pleasant intercourse with their fellow teachers. There is much enjoyment in the social intercourse of teachers, if properly cultivated; and the privilege is one that every teacher sboul 1 appreciate. We wish them happiness in their school-rooms, in their business; that tho present may be fb each of them a prosperous year. And lastly, we wish those who have no wife, or husband, success la securing one, for we know that success will give them happiness. A Happy New Yer my fellow teachers One and all. 1878 is dead, is past and gone that Old Year to which, when it was young and fair, we made such spc cious promises. How firmly we resolved that each of its days should bear a worthy recoidl How strong was our conviction . that it would see our besetting sin conquored, our special weakness cured! And then we loathed tbe remembrance in June of our January resolves. How we welcomed the year's close, that we mlht " turn over a new leaf " an J begin afresh. Alas! not all our wasted years had taught us the folly of New Yeat's resolutions. Oh! the '?; old year, the thoaghu that lie lu thy m : trust can never ilir; Wit lin'tlie pant, hupe bloomed an.! died. But the New Yc.-u coiut-s like tho trii-i.d untried; We vainly xx-r in its larc tu aeo What Vt uolda iu trut for you and me, Ane turn a- ay with foud reirr ! Kir 'he Old Old Year we can ne'er forget! Ft How teachers and readers of The Republican, let us meet the New Year with gladness, and let us look "forward and not back," " up and not down." Let us bid tbe Old Year faio well without a lingriug regret, and welcome the new, for in it are garnered and treasured all our bops and j yg that may be realiz d.

Never, under any circumstances, assume a responsibility you can avoiti consistently with your dutv to yourself aud others Base all your actions upon a principle of right; preserve your integrity of character by doing thi. never reckon the cost. Remember that self interest Is more likely to warp your judgment than all other circumstances combined, therefore,
j look well where your duty Is con
cerned. Never make money at the expense of your reputation. Be neither lavish nor uiggardly of the two avoid tbe latter, for a wan man is universully deepised; but public favor is a stepping stone to preferment, therefore generous feelings should be cultivated. Let your expense be such as to leave a balance in your pocket ready money for a friend in need. Keepclear of the law, for when you gain your case you are generally the loser of money. Never relate your misfortunes and never grieve over what you cannot prevent. No man who owes as much as he can pay, has any moral right to endorse another.

The Constitutional Catarrh Berne dy does something more thuu merely repress or suspend the symptoms of the disease reaching its constitutional causes, and renovating the vital energy, which is the n tural antagonist of sickness and physical decay.
