We have not been iv the past three weeks
without either news or excitement ; that
which has most eliopeossed our attention was

School Teaching.
1W J. D. WINI(ATI!
!laving often, with sorrow, heard persons
oven teachers express an antipathy to tench•
ing, it may not ho out of place to, make this
the basis for A few remarks.
We read of One in comparison w hit whom
we fall loth puny insignificance, who said,
" Nuffer little children to conic unto me and
forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom
of !leaven ." Reflecting' on this passage
could we well find a reason to feel too much
exalted to take a little one by the hand and
gently - draw it up to our-knees-and teach it
to say its letters ?
Having spent some years in the profession
of teaching, it is not saying too much, to say
that some of the brightest hours of my bib
were spent while engaged in that profession.
To be greeted by a score of Truly guileless
hearts with faces all over smiles hi surely fe
licitous, and it was not only held as a duty,
lout a pleasure, to be at the school room a

become acquainted with their habits nrid
gain their affections, and to be, better pre
pared to direct their sledi‘es •and have, less
difficulty in governing them.
A maxim says, " There is no sweet that
has"not itme hitter." This .applies to any
other business or profession as well as teach
ing. We fly(' occasionally pupils it ho are
"too big" to come under any regulations or
discipline. With such theleacher may, for
the time, find all efforts to make theta see
their real advantages in vain. and that what
they do, they do In reality for themselves,
and not for the teacher, as they sometimes
imagine. This state of nflairs happens about
the time. is lien they know more than the
teacher or any body else, and w hen 'they do
not know how very ignorant they really - are.
This Nippily, in general, does not last very
hors.
Very, little governing is required where
the pupil makes any (Iron to do right -
Soine one must take the responsibility to di
sect t h e workings of the school, and the
teacher is expected to do it. "When a house
is divided against itself it must fall," it is
plain that the teacher nn. at understand his

the teacher' to call the pupils to order, and
this may be the commencement of trouble.e,
and may only end with the breaking hp of
the school, where had a different course been
pursued by parents no harsh means might
have been reqiiired."'
If difficulty occurs ti is beet always for
the parent to see the teacher privately, and
if both are reasonable, an amicable settle
ment of the affair will lake place, and the
studies of the child may be pursued with
pleasure and profit to itself.
Dul parents - generally, but see the neces

the school, and that not only their own, but
that the whole school suffers by insuteweli

it impossible to get them to their destination,
perhaps.until the sawing season is entirelje
over—and in that way the Williamsport
mills would remain oomparitively idid. Tm

of money it would entail, our lumberman
finding that no other means could be made to
avail—opened the lock Haven boom (,we
are credibly in formed that they did not met
it, as has been asserted, but opened it with--
out damage, by unshackling,) for the pur
pose of recovering their own property:—
And for this act of what appears to us self
defence they were arrested and put under
