The following good Joints to those who contemplate taking upon themselves the weighty responsibilities and arduous du ties necessarily connected with the pro fession of Teaching, are from the Michi gan Journal of Education, -but.we pre sume they will suit this locality, admira bly. Try them : * 1. Meet your school at the outset, with a quiet and natural demeanor. Affect neither sternness nor affability. Say a few simple words to your scholars, that you hope to do them good, and will try to do the best you can for them. 1 2. If whispering or disorder occurs, pausb at once, and do not proceed until prder is restored. The mere pause is generally sufficient for this. 3. Rebember that good discipline is the principal thing; without, this, there can be no successful teaching. 4. Govern yourself; do not fly; into a passion; never stamp or scold, and do not threaten or'talk too much,; Let a kindly interest in your pupils temper all. your actions. . . - | £>. Have the school room kept tidy and comfortable; wash off scribbling and ink spots, and hang up maps and charts to give the room an attractive appearance. | 6. Let the lessons btr short but truly mastered. Go over the same groom again; and again in reviews. No loft;', superstructure can arise except on i solit foundations. .. L. 7. Foster in your pupils a spirit of jus tice and generosity, kindness and for bearance, and reverence for, truth ant duty., 2. Make daily preparations for your work; the oldest and ablest teachers do this; You will thus be able to £ive dear explanations,,andinfuse life and spirit in jour instructions- 1 . 9. Remember tlmt your every act is closely watched, ah•■; ■' Anincident* Hr. B-———a young gentleman of fine talents, was years ago a clerk in a. , bank in Virginia; fie was a goodncholar, and a courageous and honest young man,- bnt was , the leader of an infidel club, and bad nearly succeeded in throwing from his mind the last of whafc he used to call the “ nursery , which was. the religion his pious "mother had taught him. j On one occasion Upwards of one hun dred thousand dpllars in bank bills had to be carried to Kentucky, and he was selec ted to carry it.? As he was i obliged to pass through a part of country where high way robbery and even murder were said to befreqnent, he arranged to pass it hi the day time. But he took the wrong road, and haviug lost himself, was glad to find a shelter anywhere.; He rode about a ilong ,time in the' forest, amid the dark ness and chilliness of a starless October night. • At length he saw a dim light, and push ed forward until he cime to a poor, Wretch ed looking log cabin. It was now near ten o’clock, fip knocked and was admit ted by. a woman> who told him she and her children were alone —her husband had gone , out hunting, but she was certain he would return as lie always came accor ding to premise. Here he was with a large sum of money; alone, and\perhaps in the house of one of those robbers whose name was the terror of the country,, fie could go no farther—what was to be done?. The woman gave him supper, and propos ed his retiring to rest. But no, no, he could not think of permitting himself thus easily to fall into the hands of rob bers. He took;out his pistols,-examined the priming, and determined to sell his life as dear as he could. i In the meantime the man of the house returned; he was rather a fierce, uncouth looking hunter; he had on a dirty skin hunting shirt and bear skin cap, and seem ed to be much fatigued, and in no very talkative moody all; of which boded our young infidel no good. He asked the stranger if he did not wish to retire; he told him no, he" would sit by the fire all, night. The man of the house urged him. But no, he would; not think of such n thing. He was terribly alarmed, and ex pected this would be his lusk night on earth. His infidel principles gave him little comfort. His fears grew into per fect agony. Whakwas to be done ? At length the rough back-woodsman rose up, and reaching over the stranger’s heajd to a shelf, took down ’an old book, anq said, “ Well, stranger, if you will not go to bed, I will; but it is tny custom al ways to read a chapter out of God’s word before! go to bed.? A load was at once removed from him. Though avowing himself an infidel, he now had full confi dence in the Bible,' he was at pace safe j he felt that the man who kept an old Bi ble in the house* and read it, and bent his knees before his Maker, would dp him no harm. He listened to the prayers of the good man, at once dismissed his fears, and lay- down in that rude cabin, and slept as calmy as he did underf father’s roof. WlklutUng Girls. Whistling girls and crowing hens, Always come to some-bad end. In one of the carious Chinese books re cently translated and published in Paris, this proverb decors in substantially the same .words* It is also an injunction of the Chinese priesthood, and a carefully observed household custom, to kill imme diately every hen that crows, ns a prove n tative against the misfortune which the circumstance is' supposed to -indicate.— The same practice prevails throughout many portions of the United States. ■ Wedo not; see :j why, if crowing hens are disposed -of for fear of misfortune, girls?’ should not also be made the subject ofyisitation. - They are father in high favor. Witness the popularity of the song, “ Whistlb and I’ll come’ to you." fe;girl who can w|iistle, has, iuusTc in ’ her of no common kind, that is evylent; and the “bad end" she comes to is, generally, to whistle her way i into some old bachel ors bosom.

[INDEPENDENT IN EVEBTiniNQ.] Sleeping With the Landlord’s Wife. . Wo giro the annexed incident in re gard to Rev. Zeb TwitcheU,. a Methodist clergyman in full'and regular standing, and a membßr of" the Vermont Confer ence. ' Ait one time he represented Stocfcbridge in the State Legislature. Zeb, says our informant, -is a man of fair talents, both as - a preacher and a musician. In the pulpit he is grave, solemn, dignified, and p thorough systematic sermonizer; but out of it there is no man living who is more.full of fun and drollery. On one oc casion'he was wending his way towards the seat of the Annual .Conference of Min isters, in - company with another clergy man. * Passing a country inn he remarked to the other clergyman— -11 The last time I stopped at that tav ern, I slept with the landlord’s wife.” In utter amazement, his clerical iriend inquired what he meant. “ I mean just what I say,” replied Zeb; and on went the two travelers in unbro ken silence, until they reached the con ference. ; In the early part of the session, the con ference sat with closed doors for the pur pose of transacting some private business, and especially to attend to the annual ex amination of each member’s private char acter, or rather conduct, during the past year. For this purpose the clerk called Zeb’s name. “ Does any one know ought against the character of brother Twitchell, during the past year V’ asked the bishop, who was the presiding officer. r After' a moment’s silence, Zeb’s travel ing companion arose with a heavy heart and grave countenance; he said he had a duty to perform-r-one that he owed to God and the church, and himself; he must therefore discharge it fearlessly, though tremblingly. Ue then related what Zeb bad told ■ him while passing the tavern, how he slept with the landlords wife, etc. Tjfie grave body of ministers were struck as .pith a thunderbolt, although' a few smiled and looked first at Zeb, then upon the bishop, knowingly, for they knew bet ter than the others the character of the! accused. The bishop called upon brother T. and asked hiin what he had to say in relation to SO' serious a charge. Zeb rose and said- “ I did the deed! I never lie !” 'Then pausing with an awful seriousness, he proceeded with a slow and solemn de liberation : “ There was one little circumstance, however, connected with the affair, I did not name to the brother. It may not have much weight with the Conference, but although it may be deemedof, trifling importance, I will state it: When I slept with the landlord’s wife, as I told the brother, I kept the tavern myself I” Chinese Habits. Our readers have often read of the pe culiar customs and almost incredulous dishes of our underground neighbors — the Chinese.. But the following, written by one who mixes with them daily, in California, we give as to us related :^— “In the markets, sucking-pigs and dogs are equally exposed for sale; the one be ing as readily purchased as, the other.— The latter, however, are not freely bought after they have been fed on animal diet, except by the very poorest classes; but are nourished with milk end rice on pur pose for the' table. In -the markets at Canton, I have observed, side by side, a pheasant and a cat; and, upon enquiry, found them to hear, precisely the same value. The cormorant, the wild duck, the hawk and the pigeon, being respect ively indulged in by the lon mvani, while the Salted rat, dried in the sun seemed to-be an object of peculiar relish, previous to their putting this animal to, death-, they,frequently inflict upon it the most exerptiatiug agony; whether or not : \ipon'the sanie principle that we consider a hunted hare more-delicate than one that has been shot, Heave my readers to determine. I have frequently seen a, work man catch a rat, and, with the fore finger and thnmb, dexterously break all the ani mals teeth, leaving It in that state until the evening, when- it is killed and flayed for supper. They are} constant ly in the habit of nailing the fat upon a flat board by the four paws, and leaving it in that position for many hours, and seem amazed at any one .taking compassion up die wretched beast.; This animal is gene rally salted and.dried in- the sun prior to being eaten, as they say they teste infin itely more delicate, after this preparation.’^ j A man endeavors to shine in himself fa ‘fool to outshine others j'.the first is humbled by a, sense of his own ihfirnatieS; the last lifted’ up by .the dis covery of those which he observes In othfira. The map considers* what he wants, pnd the fool wfiat ho abounds in. The wise man is happy, when he goto* fife oyrn approbation ■ iwhf h* ALittle Hero. Debating under Difficulties. Hon. Joshua B. Giddings lectured in. Trcmont Temple, Boston, the other: even ing. His subject was, “ Twenty years in Congress." In the course of his lecture, he selected the following incident:—ln 1845 there was an unfortunate man in the. House from Georgia, by the name of Black, who regarded himself as the espe cial champion of that State and the ‘pc-' culiar institution. 1 When the Indian hill was under consideration, he (Mr. Gid dings) took occasion to refer to'the old matter of the Creek Indians and the slaves that had been stolen by the Georgians; Mr. Black took fire and made a in which he charged him/with stealing negroes and franking a dress to his wife; The Southern men gathered around him and spirited him on. When he hail con cluded, he (Giddings,) replied in mild terms, as would be imagined; Imt Mr. Black did not so regard it, and coming round to within four feet of him, with his 4 heavy sword cane in his hand; said': “ Bepeat that and I will knock youdown.’’ “Well,” said Mr. Giddings, “T neveir bad been knocked down ;, it would be a, curiosity; and so of course I repeated ii. “ Dawson, of Louisiana, a professed du elist, came along, and placing his hand on his pistol and cocking it, saidj f D—n him, I’ll shoot him !’ He did not think he was in any danger, but others aid.; and a slaveholder from Maryland, armed bowie knife and pistol, came over and stood by his N side, with his arms ibfded.— John Slidell, and other Southern men, came over and stood by Black ; Kenneth Baynor,. (who has been called a * Know Nothing’ since, but who knew something that day,) who was fully armed, came and took up’ a position on his left; Charles Hudson rose quietly and put himself on his right; and Solomon Foot, feeling his cold Northern blood stirred somewhat, left his seat, and took up a position at the en trance of the aisle—and there and thus they maintained 1 the freedom of debate. The Oiiier Side., —Once in a happy home a sweet bright baby died. On the evening of the day when the children gathered around their mother, all sitting very sorrowful, Alice, the eldest s^id; “ Mother you took all of the baby while she to here; ans you: carried and held her in yomr arms all the while she was ill'; how motfier, who toother On ‘ the other side ?’’’ : ■ ?-■ - “On the other sidp of what, V* “.On the' other side hf death ; wfip took the baby on the other mothey l- She was so little she could not go alonfi.” ; ; *f Jesus -met fier there,” said the moth er.- “It nrhe whd took little children in his arms to bless them, and said * Suffer them to come unto irie, forbid tHeih not* for such is the kingdom of ffeaveii.* : He took’ the baby on the other side.’’; .&e&.

EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. itfectlng Incident : On one of the many bridges in Ghent; stood two large brazen images of father and-son, who obtained this distinguished mark of admiration of tbeir feffow citizens, by tbe following incidents*' Both father and son w'ero for some of fence condemned to die. Some favorable circumstance on the side of the sob, he was granted a remission of his share of the sentence upon certain provisions ; in short,, he was bfiered a pardon on the most cruel, and barbarous condition that ever entered the; mind of barbarity ; namely, that he would boebme the executioner of his father ! \ He at first resolutely refused to preserve his by means so fatal and detestable. rThis is not to bo wondered at ; for I hope; there are few sons' who would mot have spurned, with abborenoe, life sustained on a condition so horrid and unnatural. The son, though inflexible, waa'at length overcome by the fears and, entreaties of a fond father, who represen ted to him, that at all events, his (the fath er’s) life was forfeited, and it would be the greatest possible consolation to him in hia last moments, to flunk, that in his death, he was the.instrnment of his son’s preser vation. The youth consented to adopt the horrible means of recovering his life and liberty. Ho lifted the axe—but aa it was about to- fall, his arm sunk .nerve less, and the axe dropped from his hand f Had he as many live? ns hairs, he could have yielded them all one after another, rather than again conceive much less per petrate such an act. Life, hberty, every thing vanished before the q® ar interest of filial affection—he fell upon his; father’s neck and embracing, him, triumphantly exclaimed, “.My father I my father! we will die together!” and then called for another executioner to fulfill the sentence of the law. , ‘ . ’ Hard must their hearts indeed be, be-* reft of every sentiment of virtue, evezy. sensation of humanity, who. could stand insensible, spectators to snch a scene. A ' sudden peal of involuntary applause, mix ed with grfians and sighs; rent the air.— The execution was suspended, and on a simple representation of the fact, both were pardoned, high rewards and boohs were conferred oh the son; and finally,'those* two admirable images, raised to com memorate a transaction so honorable to human nature, and transmit it for the in struction and emulation of posterity. The' statute' represents the eon la the very act of letting the axe fall. ■ ' How It Strengthened Hljotv A student of one of our State Colleges,- had a barrel of ale deposited hi rids room —contrary of course to the rule and usage. He received a summons to appear before the President,, who said: - : ‘ Sir, I am informed that, you have * barrel of ale, in your rooiu.’ * ‘ Yes, sir.' > ' . ‘Well, what explanation eau you? make ?*• ■ ‘Why, the feet is, sir that my phyti oian advises me try a little efich.day as a tonic, and not wishing to stop aitne va rious places where the beverage is retail ed, I concluded to haye a barrel.takento my room.' ' v • ‘ Indeed. And have you derived any benefit from the use of it r . . ; ‘ Ah, yes, sir. When the tasrel was first taken to my room, two days since, I could scarcely lift' it. Now l oan-carry it with the greatest ease. ? _ ' The > witty student was discharged with Special reprimand. ■ An haying accidentally broke a pane of glassj wjb making tho best of his way out of sight; "tuft the pro prietor stole a march upon him, and hav ing seized him by the collar, exclaimed/ “ You broke" my window, fellow, did you not?” ■ “To h® s°ro I did,”'said P#l, “ and didn't you see me running home to git the money to-pay for.it V*- ; - ‘ ’ ...
