SINCERITY A ND**E AR NEST NESS IN
TEACHING.
No one can dotibt for a moment, that earnest
ness and sincerity, should always be tho true
characteristics of e\cry teacher, who hopes to
attain anything like professional eminence in the
! course of iifo ho has marked out for himself.—
| Without their aid tho brightest talents, tho most
| towering intellect, can avail but little, can ac
complish nothing worthy of note, can' produce
no better fruit than that which may bo said to
resemble tho fas-famed apple: so beautiful to
behold, yet so bitlov and useless. With earnest
ness and sincerity ns our guide, what an incai
culablo amount of good may wo not do with
even a limited slie.ro of education. And to this
class of teachers I will address myself first.—
When I soy that persons of inferior education,
| who act under the influence of a sincere heart,
and aa upright inleution, can accomplish moro
than the protestor, or man of distinguished abil
ities, can do independent of the.n; Ido not wi .h
to be understood as an advocate for an inferior
order of intellect in the teachers who are to in
struct the youths of our country, and whose
moral example should ever bo a shining and
burning light before the eyes of the young and
inexperienced; but merely desire to sympathizo
and encourage that portion of our teachers to
whom nature, perhaps, has denied tho rich and
varied gifts which she sometimes lover to lavish
on less worthy objects; or who, from want of
proper opportunities, have been prevented from
improving and developing, to their fullest ex
tent, tho talents already bestowed, hut such '
teachers make self-improvement, their ilat'.y ex
ercise. Lot them remember, that the kindly,
earnest spirit in which the instruction is given. !
has as much to do with the child's progress in
learning, or even moro thnn the most logical or
scholarly explanation could do if given in a cold
and indifferent manner. To tho more gifted of
our teachers I would simply say, pride your
selves not on your superior intellects, depend
not too much on your own abilities or philosoph
ical explanations to draw fc-rtli the ideas of tho
young. But ever bear in mind that u kind look,
a word of earnest entreaty, or smile of appro
val, will generally do more towards accomplish
it g your views in regard to the child's education
than any other means yet loviscd. If it is nat
und that we should love thoso who love U", is
it r.Ot equally natural that children . houi 1 feel i
interested iu those who manifest an earnestness
and an interest in them? And endeavor to re- i
! pay such nnxioty by not only trying to be stu
dious but also to be docile. In many of tho i
counties of our State, where the system of free
education is in a flourishing condition, the touch
ers are well compensated, or comparatively so,
1 and their zeal, or motive power, as some would
call it, might, Ity tho cynical, be attributed to
tlm largo shnrs of greenbacks distributed in u-b
counties by th < kind directors, whom, I hats
r.o doubt, are firm I .fi-ror* in the tin,. hon- red
uuuuu, "live, auu let live."

BEDFORD; PA., FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, ISM.
But, to return to tire teavhors of ourowncoun
; ty. To what earthly notise can, or could we
; attribute their untiring teal and arduous labors
i iu the fjreat causn of education? Very low, if
j any, r.-ceivc anything more than a mere pittance,
an amount too small to come under the head ot
compensation, and yet their dude* are more fa
tiguing on account of the great want of proper
faciiitie.', than those teachers to whom wo have
just referred.. If ->tno of tho teacher* of our
[ county foii below fit" standard to generally pre
scribed and insisted on as really nefidful and ne--
ceasuty, let them solace then: solves with lite hap
py rcfioeiion, that they, at lent, afe not liclutßT;
in the pcrformanro of their respective duties,
by too large a sht.ro of what soma uro pleased I
to tcnu "fluctuating currency, or IJuelo Sum's
promissory nolle." Not ono single teacher of
Bedford county ever has, ns yet, stood convict
ed of corruption from that cause, before any
body of lawful and well appointed directors.
Free from all such polluting influences, they
are positively and kindly permitted to teach and
to labor i-i our schools in a rjuist manner, with
out even an much as a new desk, or bench to
vary the monotony of the scene, or remind them
that they are teaching in the nineteenth Century-; J
the ageof comforts ami of improvements. But i
let riot the teachers of Bedford county bceoiao |
disheartened und discouraged, or grow cold to j
their task, even if thr-.ir self-sacrificing efforts in j
the pood eaus; should never us componsnted bv
a larger siiare of pay. Let them continue to
ha zealous and dovoted to their ciiarge, believ
ing and hoping that they will yet receive a rich
and sweet reward in tiro world to corn.?, if not
in this. Let them havo engraved indaiibiy on
their minds, that earnestness and sincerity will j
not only make then true tcachors. but iviil also
make them true citizens and true friends.

oi silver and gold, the whole world must even
tually be tributary. In an interesting paper
; lately ad Ire.vscd bv Mr. E. E. Dunbar to the
(Traveller's Club, of New York, we find some
startling observations upon tbo vast mineral
J ticltjj on the eastern and western slopes of the
■ 1 E'.v!ky Mountains, greater, as he fl.iy.i, in extent
! and yielding more abundantly of the precious
i J metals thin any other part of "ho gloje. Yet,
i ho continues, wo do not begin to comprehend
■ | the extent and vainc of these mineral fields,
j though they are now yielding a hundred millions
i per annum, and "I believe tirat some who now
j hear mo will live to see our yield of precious
;; metals a thousand millions a year." The terri
■ tories of Dakotuh, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Nc
i viola, New Mexico end Arizona will, under the
inducements of their gold deposits, soon become
, prosperous and powerful Stales.
j Judge Doty, lately .Superintendent of Indian
i Alfidra in Path, and now appointed Governor
of tile '1 eriitory of Colorado, has travelled more
than thrtv thousand miles iu tiio region of tbo
' Territori .s above named. While the gold fields
] of that region a*o ail of vast richness and ex
| tent, lies considers Idaho as more productive ot
go'.d than any other portion of it, not excepting
i Colorado. Gold in Idaho is found not only in
} placer diggings, but in quartz lodes, from which
, it is more easily separated than from the iron
pyrites wherein it is found in Colorado. Some
I or the ore which lie caused to bo assayod recent
ly in New York yielded twenty-eight per - :it.

i h.t found to exist in Idaho, thnt if tholl. States

Southern Women.
The correspondent of the Chicago Tribune,
an abolition paper, in one of his letters from
Tennessee, writes as follows of Southern wo
men : "I shall never he done admiring the pa-
triotic faith and undying devotion of the loyal
women of liic land, but I must tell you that the
rebel women of the South are wcrthy in every
thing Lut a sacred cause, of their Northern rio
ters. 'lllere is nothing they will not surrender
with a smile; the gemmed ring, the diamond
bracelet, the rich wardrobe. They cat up tho
rich,carpets for soldier.' blankets, without a
sigh; they tube tiie fiuo linen from their ncrsons
for the bandages.—When 400 of Longstreet's
men came up to Nashville, prisoners of war„
about the roughest, dirtiest, wild, ?t fellows the
sun ever shone on, an I a flight of stairs in tho
building they occupied fell, killing and wounds
ing n largo number of them, you should have
seen tho fair young trnitoresscs come forth from
the old aristocratic mansions, bearing restora
tives and delicacies in their bands, mingling j a
thi dingy crowd, wiping away tho blood with
their while handkerchiefs, and muttering words
cf cheer; should knvo seen them doing this,
with hundreds of Union soldiers all around, anl
smiling bark upon tho rough blackguards cf reb
els as they left. But in all thero was a defiant
air, a pride in their humanity strange to see.
Of a truth thoy carried it off grandly. And
almost nil those girls were in mourning for dead
rebels, brothers, lovers, friends, whom these
same girls had sneered into treason and driven
into rebellion, and billowed all the South with
their graves, and the least they could do was to
wear black for tlwm and flaunt from the win
dow blinds. Clothed be their sou's in sackcloth!
I said they were worthy of their sisters at tho
North, in nil but a righteous cause, but I said
wrong. Then is a thero are glirapmi
of the Pythoness, that makes you shrink fro.n
them. 1 Jut they are fearfully earnest; fhay are
almost crand in nelf-cacrillce. Oh. that tlg-y
were truu und loving daughters of'the uIJ slag I
Bo Content.
Never complain of your birth, your employ
ment, your hurdships ; never fancy that you
could be something if you only had a different
lot and sphere assigned to you.—God under
stands his own pl.ui, and !u knows what you
want better than you do. Tho very things you
mot depreciate n's fatal limitations or odstruc
what you most want. What
arc prbbnldyGofr's flpptfrtiu\tn anu it is noth
ing new that the patient should dislike his medi
cine?, or any certain proof thai they arc poisons.
No! a truce to all such impatience. Choke that
envy which gnaws at your heart, because yon
are not in tho fame lot with ethers; bring down
your sonl, or rather bring it up toiceive God's
will, and do his work, in ycur lot, ia your
sphere, under your cloud of obscurity, against
your temptations, and then you skill find that
your condition is never opposed to voar good,
but consistent with it.
A Republican member of Congress says,
''though Mr. Lincoln is not perhaps a man of
groat parts, ho i* certainly a very cunning man."
On tho contrary we ailim; that Mr. Lincoln has
prune very great farts. I lis* Jul, tor instance, nro
tho greatest we ever saw on raort I man. Am!

care, lie certainly has a goodly number of srreat
parti. And ns for his cunning, if ho has ihut, it
is not .a thing for a man to boast of; for, m a
great French author .ays, "cunning leads to kna
very." Merely cunning mi a are slm'v.t invaria
bly great rogues. Addison says, "Cunning luu
only private, selfish tads, and sti-'ts at nothing
which may mako them succeed." Not a 'ingle
member oif Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet Ims an intel

of them have not even that— Dag Be
