"Delightful task ! to rear the tor.der thought.
And teach the young idea how to shoot,
To pour the fresh instruction o'ortbe mirid,
To breathe the enlivening spirit nnd to fix
The generous purpose m the glowing breast."
Thompson.
What are the pleasures of teaching ? This
question may seriously arise in the minds of
persons who look upon teaching as a dull, mo
notonous business; and, even those teachers who
have hired themselves to teach because they haii
nothing else to do, have no idea of its import,
and cannot comprehend its meaning. But the
true teacher, one who lias the interest
of his calling at heart, never stops
to ask that question; he realizes it every day-
He finds pleasure in teaching, because his cal
lir.r- " IS honorable and useful. To him are en
trusted the youths of the land and he is to
shape and fashion their minds lor future useful
ness ; he is to instil into those pliant minds,
principles that will be as lasting as • iernity.
Under his care are put those whose intellects
are just commencing to bud, and he is to super
intend their culture, and supply the necessary
means for their daily expansion. Delightful
task ! to water and buoy up the intellectual
plants ar.u .>ee them grow and expand until
they become living trees of knowledge !
The teacher is surrounded by a lively land
of pupiL, whose affections he has gained, and
who daily greet bun With their smiles. Does
he not lind pleasure in taking (hem by the hand
leading them along life's tugged path, sire Ik
ing their way, and instilling into their mind
the principles ci truth and virtue ' Ay, he
does. Ho find® pleasure m teaching, because
while he is imparling knowledge to other?, lie
is improving his own mine, and enlarging ins
sacilihes of usefulness ; for
"Teaching, we leara; and giving, we retain
The blrtns of intellect.*?
Considering his important task, it gives the tea
cher pleasure to know that he is doing his du
ty. Again, teaching i. delightful "'hen he
considers its reward. Bui by the teacher's re
ward, Ido not mean the pecuniary compensa
.:on he receives, lor that is rn most cases inade
quate ; and, indeed, I doubt whether he can be
sufficiently remunerated for The mental labor
which he doc-s. His reward does not consist in
pelf; it is a higher, a holier one. As he work®
with intellectual and imperishable material, so
is isr reward an everlasting one. He will ex
perience great pleasure, when, in contempla
ting the past, he feels conscious of having dis
charged his duties toward those intrusted to him
And when those whose minds he has fed with
intellectual aliment, shall be called upon to act
their ; art in the great drama of life, and he
finds his scholars among those who are filling
useful and dignified stations, witl not the tea
cher derive great pleasure by the assurance ;
that his labors were not in vain ?
Above ail, should'he be the means ot reclaim
ing a wanderer from the path ot virtue, or of
laving the foundation of future happiness .n the
breast of one of his pupils, will he not be fully
compensated for all his exertions ? And if,
when he come.-, to "wrap the drapery of hi
couch around birr.," he can, with the hero of
many battles, saw "I have endeavored to ■'
rry i ■ w great will be bis reward '
l v. ■ i come his tine reward.

At the time ot the explosion on board the
Great Eastern, a curious fact was noticed; those
who were most hurt and who first died, seemed
the least injured when they first appeared above
deck, and even were able to walk without as
sistance. On this point a writer in the Lon
don Ti.nes , say® :
"A man blown up by gunpowder is a mere
figure ot raw flesh which seldom moves after
the explosion. Not so with men blown up by
steam, who, for a few minutes are able to waik
about, appaientiy unhurt, though, in fact, mor
tally injured beyond ali hope ri recovery.—
This was so with one or two, who, as they e
merged from below, wnlked aft with that inde
scribable expression in their (aces resembling
astonishment ; and a fait, .-log of the gait and
movements like one who walks in his sleep.—
Where not begrimed by the smoke or ches, the
peculiar bright, sott whiteness of the lac. hands
or breast fold at once that the skin, though un
broken, had, in (act, been boiled by the steam.
One man walked along with the movement and
look, I have endeavored to describe, ana seemed
quite unconscious that the flesh cf ids thighs,
(most probably by the ashes in the furnace,) was
burnt m deep hoUs. i u some one who came
to his assistance, he said, quietly . "f am ail
light, there are others worse than me ; g, lack
after them." T ' *! r ui was the first to c

A good one is told of old Judge L .
His Honor kept a demijohn of good old Jamaica
:n his private office, lor his own comfort and
the entertainment of his particular friends.—
. he Judge hod noticed lor some time, that on
Monday morning bi3 Jamaica was considerable
lighter than on Saturday night. Another fact
was gradually established ia his mind. His soil
.V m was missing from the paternal pew ia
church oa Sundays. One Sunday afternoon
Sam came in and went up stairs rather heavilv
when the Judge hailed him :
"bam, where have you been ?"
