Bow shall Ido? When shall I do? are questions that will often arise in your mind and you must be prepared to answer them and that often without much opportunity for reflection with none for consultation But if you have duly considered the nature of your office and studiously cultivated the qualities I have named you have done much to prepare yourself for the efficient dischargo of incumbent duties Give the first moments of every morning to devotional exercises and thus let your pupils see that you and they have oni common friend and counselor in Qur Father who art in Discipline is the first item that will claim your attention and is an all-important item It lies at the very foundation of your labors and unless you have right views and adopt right measures on this point it will be useless for you to hope for success in for without good discipline there can be no truly successful teaching One may be able to govern a school and yet not competent to teach the same but he cannot in the highest and truest sense teach a school unless he can also govern it But I will proceed to give a few hints which I hope may be of some service to you oTry to cause your Pupils to feel that you are their Friend Let all your plans and arrangements be made with reference their good Lt your words be but the kindly expression of friendly feelings anc good intentions let no frowns cloud your brow even though all may not at the out set be just as you might wish Perfect discipline cannot be established in a day yet you must aim to secure it gradually and surety But you may ask what I mean by perfect discipline I say negatively that do not consider it to consist in rigid and upright positions in exact and undeviating movements nor in constrained looks I say positively that I consider that school in a good state of discipline in which the pupils attend to all their duties perform all their movements and regard all the require ments of the school with cheerful alacrity and with an evident and constant desire tc co-operate with the studiously and pleasantly refraining from every act which may tend to disturb the teacher or the school I consider a school judiciously gov erned where order prevails where' the strictest sense of propriety fs manifested by the pupils towards the teacher and towards each other where they are all busily employed in the appropriate duties of the school-room and where they seem to be under the influence of the teacher as a leader but not as a driver There is some difference of bpinion as to the degree of stillness possible or desirable in a school All unnecessary noise must be excluded" The best governed are they who seem to be ungoverned save by the inward desire to do right and the best disciplinarians are they who govern without seeming to govern to Another old settler has gone from among us Richard Frebran Veedkr one of tbe earliest'settlers of Ibis portion of the State7 and a man extensively known alike to pld settlers and tbe new comers departed this life at his residence in this city on Wednesday morning the 19tb aged about 58 years Uncle as ha was universally called was emphatically a characUrand many years hence quaint anecdotes of him will belated and hisjiame perpetuated in this manner He was a man of wonderful constitution and bad the laws of health been studied and more carefully observed by him it seems as though he might havelived to an age not often allotted to mankind His name is intimately associated with tbe early settlement of our city and the Veeder which involved his right to a considerable portion of the site of the cityis familiar to all A long and expensive litigation grew out of it arraying against him many of the settlers for their h'inies were involved in tbe disposition of the suit Few men could)be found who would have so stubbornly and courageously prosecuted their case as did Mr At one time he might have Compromised the dispute and retired with an independent fortune but it was rather his natnfe to give up nothing which he regarded as his own He would sacrifice a dollar rather than have a penny wrung from against his wishes and convictions We are not discuscing the merits of his claim he evidently thought he was right and prosecuted his case with an earnestness which could command nothing but respect While he was frequently rude and rough in speech he had a heart wonderfully tender and sympathetic which was never appealed to in vain and few men in our midst performed more acts of charity than Uncle Dick Hundreds will remember him for his charities and speak kindly bis name and all who ever knew him will never forget the peculiar characteristics which so emphatically distinguished him AtteEEtlon Fogle In addition to the regular series there will he three more Parties to' be

July 50th I860 21-ly Ifyou would succeed do not attempt to isyvern too much Lure your pi the right path by kindly words antf friendly acts and thus gain that perfect control over them which youi should possess and at the same time have their obedience cheerful and prompt Fn this way you will govern them and at the same time they will not feel that they are governed Govern yourself Unless you can exercise a good degree of self-government you can hardly expect to govern others It will not always be an easy matter for you to exhibit perfect self-control but you must aim to do so and if you can succeed in so governing yeur own feelings as never to ap pear angry or annoyed you will find no difficulty in governing your pupils- I do not mean that you should be entirely regardless of the conduct of your pupils but merely that you should not allow their errors to cause you to lose your patience by exhibiting some sudden ebullition of passion You know how ready some people are to take offense and show anger A faithful servant who had long borne the abusive words of a petulant master finally said to him that he could no longer tolerate his captiousness and that- be was determined to leave his service But Peter said the relenting master I mean no harm and that I am no sconer mad than pleased Very true replied Peter but I also know that you are no sooner pleased than mad So it is with some teachers they allow feel-ings and expressions ef anger and pleasantness to follow each other in si)cb ludicrously rapid succession as entirely to impair their influence Talk not Much nor It is a very common error with young teachers that they talk too much and too loud and wherever you meet with one of these garrulous and noisy teachers you will be sure to find a disorderly school Let us call at two schools and- notice the difference Here is a school of fifty pupils kept by Miss The pupils are nearly all unity in appearance inattentive to lessons disorderly and whispering and constantly asking unimportant questions of the teacher It is a sort of Bedlam let But the children are not the only actors' Listen to the teacher who in loud and petulant tones and in rapid succession thus speaks We must hare less noise You are the worst set of children I ever Sit down John I tell you not to what are you Sarah told you twenty times that you look out of the window and you mind one word I Peter I tell you I should punish you if you did that again? get it by and what are you out of your seat for If you mind better I shall punish And thus it continues through the livelong tbe teacher noisily issuing meaningless orders and tlreaU the pupils bearing them as they would the whistling winds The room is unswept and in disorder the teacher slovenly in her personal appearance and unlovely and forbidding in look and manner All is discord no discipline no true teaching no good habits The classes are called upon to recite without any seeming regard to time or manner they move noisily and dilatonlto the recitation seat their answers are indistinct and mostly imperfect there is an entire heartlessness and heedlessness about $very exercise and every effort -We have stopped long enough le pass along Here we come to another suool of the same size kept by Miss We enter and are greeted by the pleasant smile welcoming us to her school She looks pleasant and happy the room is a-model of neatness and order tbe pnpils look cheerful and industrious each earnestly attending to his lessons There is no whispering oooseless questioning no confusion cheerful quietness and well-ordered industry mest the eye on eTery band The teacher says but little and every remark is made in that pleasant and subdued tone which is sure to be heard and regarded The still small voice is readily heard and promptly obeyed When the classes are called to recite they take their places with alscrity and without noise and as we might expect the lessons are well committed end distinctly recited It is in all 'respects DIED and ReroMue- The repeated report sof accidents and deaths intour daily papers from the use of dangerous compounds such as Gasoline Kerosene should be taken Vore notice of than is done It has been our object as business men to avoid all such compounds and by our personal influence to caution our customers which has prompted us to call the attention of the public is the fact that we have been charged with selling low-priced oil A few days ago a customer stepped into the store and said: that kerosene I bought of you sputters and flashes It is dangerous afraid of The charge came home to us sharp for a moment We answered at once You did not buy it of us Yes I did I paid you f0 cents a gallon for That 40c answered the for we have not sold and are not selling oil at that price We cannot sell good oil at such afigure On reflection the gentleman saw he was mistaken and went out no doubt to attack the dealer guilty of the sale Fortunately no accident happened from the use of that oil had such a thing occurred however Graham would have been held respomible for the sale of that which he did not sell As it is we propose to guard the people by timely notice and warn them of the danger of buying cheap oils evenif there is only a difference of 10c per gallon Competition is healthy but let us have it on fair and square grounds endanger life The common reader is well aware of the value of oils and must see that a merchant cannot retail a test oil at cost unless his love for the people overcomes hiiprofit and from that his ability to pay his debts and live If not for love it must be one of those non-explosive ils or fluids that the daily papers caution the people of and from which death i the record- We again repeat that our scientific journals and daily papers are continually cautioning you against the use of cheap oils and fluids sold by unprincipled manufacturers and dealers whose non-explosive philanthropy is self It has been our intention and shall be while conducting business to act as honorably as lies in our pony and what we state relative to our goods wc mean Trusting that our customers will appreciate our intentions
