THERE ARE NO TEARS IN HEAVEN
The author of the appended lines,
Mr. John T. Wertz, conferred a bene
fit on society, and on the religious
world at largo, when ho set himself
down to write a poem which intuition
taught him world make every ono a
holier and better man, after ho, reads
it:
I met a child, his feet were bare,
His weak frame shivered with the cold ;
His youthful brow was knit with care.
His flashing 'eye his sorrow told.
Said I, "Poor boy, why weepest thou ?"
"My parents both are dead," he said:
"I have not where to lay my head ;
0, I am lone and friendless now !"
Not friendless, child ; a Friend on high
For you his gracious blood was given;
Cheer up, and bid each tear be dry—
" There are no tears in Heaven."
Isaw a man in life's gay noon
Stand weeping o'er his young bride's bier:
"And must we part," ho cried, "so soon !"
As down his_cheek there rolled a tear;
"Heart broken one," said I, "weep not
"Weep not!" in accents wild he cried.
"But yesterday my young love died !
And shall she be so soon forgot?"
Forgotten ! No, still let her love'
.Sustain thy heart with anguish riven;
Strive thou to most thy bride above,
And dry thy tears in Heaven.
I saw a - gentle mother weep,
As to her throbbing heart she prest
An infant seemingly asleep
On' its kind mother's shelt'ring breast.
"Fair one," said I, "pray weep no more."
Subbed she, "the ideal of my hope
•
I now am called to render up ;
My babe has reached death's gloomy shore"
Young mother, yield no more to grief,
Nor be by passion's tempest driven,
But find in these sweet words relief,
"There aro no tears in Heaven."
Poor traveler o'er life's troubled wacc—•-
Cost down by grief, Werwhelmed by care,
There is an arm above can save,
Then yield not thou to fell despair.
Look upward, mourners, look above ! -
What though the thunders echo loud ;
'rho sun shines bright beyond the cloud,
Then trust to thy Redeemer's love.
Where'or thy lot in life be cast,
Whate'er of toil or'wee be given—
Be firm—remember to the last,
"There are no tears in Heaven,"
[commuNicATED.]
Parents and Teachers.
Why do wo hear so many com
plaints of parents regarding the prog
ress of their children in their studies
at school ? Who is to blame? These,
together with several other questions
relating to the success or failure of
many of our teachers in this, as well as
many other counties, we propose to
take up and ventilate for the purpose
of shciwing where and when "the voice
of the pOople" is frequently in error.
Tako first, for example, our first
question; why do we hear so many
complaints against teachers, among
which are generally found the accusa
tions of incompetency and neglect?
The last twoaccuSatimis aro pretty
heavy ones, wherewith to charge a
teacher; charges which materially af
fect his success as a teacher, his
,suc
ccinlife, and parents should inquire
well into particulars before preferring
suchra damaging charge against the
young educators of our land.
"Upon perceiving that their children
have not Made the best progress during
the term just closed, parents- should
consider how much time they lost;
whether they attended right straight
along as they should have done, or
whether, as is often the ease,_ they
were absent from their classes about
every other .day, being in attendance,
probably, two-thirds of the term.
I have bad. scholars who counted
themselves pretty regular scholars, and
at the end of the term would be sur
prised to learn that they had been ab
sent perhaps nearly one-third of the
session.
NOW, cannot _people, of this'dnlig' ht
coed age, see at Once thatit is folly to
expect their children to,makeyapid or
even good progreSs at= schiml, when
such attendance Is. given'? And yet
thoy;will say, "our teacher of last win•
for wasn't worth much; didn't teach
our children scarcely. Anything; don't
think he is eery, much of a scholar :"
laying the entire blame upon the poor
pedagogue, charging him,with incom
petency and neglect; never once sup
posing-that they Might:probably be to
blame,-for not seeing that their little
ones attended regularly, as it is gene
rally found that when a schelar's pro
gress has been slow you can trace the
Causelifick fo'bturizttendant.e.•
GM3 The teacher-hall a chanc'e-Send
your children regulairly To sehool, abd
then it is time to, complain -of your
.teacher.. If parents would do their du
ty in this respect we would hear fewer
complaints,, hear of fewer unsAqessful
teiellers; for how in the ;name of all
tliat is cdueittional,eana. OrYalert_94ol
-PERSEVERE.-
an absent scholar? Let parents think
of this, and rot - amber, too,lhat'there
is but one Being who is almighty, and
although we are made in His likeness
wo have few of His high attributes.
The next murmur we hear is, "our
John was reading in th'eTifth Reader,
and our now teacher had the ingnedence
(not the common sense) to turn him
back to the Third; it is'easily seen he
does not know much—l just halt think
he can't read in the Fifth himself and
that is the reason he turned our John
back."
Such foolish ideas are all too preva
lent in this section of our State when
we take into consideration that this is
the 19th century. Just so, "John" is
"going through his books,' whether
cutting through them, or eating through
them, it is all right; the teacher is
commended and "John" is learning
fast—he is almost through the Sixth
Reader, and expects to get through the
Seventh yet, this winter.
While ono teacher is receiving un
merited praise for allowing his pupils
to advance, or seem to advance, faster
than they should, another ono is cen
sured for restraining a pupil and keep
ing him in a proper text-book, and if
needs be, turning him back to where
he ought to be.
Parents will stay away from the
school all winter—never, show their
faces inside of their school, and as a
natural consequence know nothing
about how their children are getting
along, whether they are really reading
in the Fifth Reader, or whether, as is
frequently the case, they are render-,
ing the author's pieces in such a mur
derous manner as to almost make him
(if dead) rise from his tomb in indig
nation, and then complain about some
thing they know nothing about.
A word to parents. 'Don't say you
have no time to visit your school—
take a little of the time you spend in
talking polities upon the street corners
prating about the great bug bear "Peo
ple's League" or some other equally
useless conversation, if you are of the
masculine persuasion; if a lady, take
a small portion of the time you spend
leisurely retailing to your neighbor the
last Lit-bit of sensational gossip ; take
part of this misspent time and devote
it to your own affairs; drop in at your
school once a week and see how things
are moving: The teacher is always
glad to,coe you, inless you come with
a club or broomstick in your band. •, It
encourages him on in his work to see ,
that parents do care bow their chil
dren aro progressing. The children .
aro always pleased - to see you and will
make extra exertions in your presence
to show you how much they are learn-'•
ing or have learned. -
Then.lot.ine say to the mothers and
fathers of the little ones who attend my
school, as well as to every mother and
father in the county who has a child at
school—visit your child's school and
see how he is progressing. Make your
ostimateof the teacher's qualifications
there and then, and do not pretend to
skin judgment upon that you have
not seen, nor condeMn that which you
have not heard. Quts.

Household Saints,.
BY GRACE GREENWOOD
Saint James
The chronicle of this blessed - saint
must be sad—but it shall be brief.
James Harris was a native of that
part of the great State' of Illinois
known as Egypt. Ho entered upon
his saintship gradually, "through much
tribulation," and long years of severe
domestic discipline. TO the wife of
his bosom was entrusted the charge of
perfecting James in the Christian, gra
ces of patience:self-restraint and ab
negation. Avenger of her sox, hers
was a spirit born to subjugate and
command. With more beauty, she
had boon the now Cleopatra of the now
Egypt. She had already been twice
widemed. Her first husband, it was
said, had gone off with the chills, and
her second with the Mormons. James
was her third. On him her system
and experience soon told. He bad
boon high-tempered; ho grow meek. - -
Ile had been talkative; he grew taci
turn. He had been fond of speaking
his mind and "blazing away;" ho
seemed to have no longer a mind to
speak—his "hot and mounting spirit"
was quenched ! He wisely gave over
"kicking against the pricks" of a more
urgent and masterful will than his own;
ho yielded under a stronger hand ; ho
gave way before a keener tongue.—
When hard and stinging words wore
hailed upon him, ho took refuge in si
lence.
Thus it came, that the good man
took for his motto the words of a James
of old time: "If any man among you
seem to be religious, and bridleth not
his tongue, this man's religion is vain."
But to his wife's case he applied an
other text, from the same sacred wri
ter : "The tongue can no man tame."
And when things even harder than
words came—as come they did, I
grieve to say—Cleopatra-like buffets,
and Elizabethan boxes, ho bore these
also, like a Christian and a philosopher.
When remonstrated with for an ex
cess of Soetatean virtue, be was wont
to reply: "Why, you see; it don't hurt
me, and - it does Hannah a power of
good. Besides, what's the use of
showing fight, when you know you'll
have to knock under at last?"
When a sympathizing friend advised
him to seek legal protectir n and deliv
erance—in other words, to apply for a
divorce, on the 'ground of cruel treat
ment, ho mournfully shook / his head,
saying: "I can't say as I think it
would ho right, neighbor. 1 really
meant what I said when I took my wife
'for better, for worse; and 1 can't go,
back on my word, if it should prove
all 'for worse.' But it won't, you see.-
Hannah's a first rate cook. Her corn-.
dodgers can't be beat."'
Magnanimous Saint James!
Yet he dwelt nigh onto the borders
of Indiana! At times, when the flesh
was weak, I will not say that ho cast
no wistful looks toward that goodly
land of divorce; but he never crossed
the fatal State lino.
Strange to say, as‘the spirit of her
husband became subdued and moulded"
to her will, Mis..llanfiah Harris fell
into a low and melancholy state. .Life
seemed to have lost its spice and flay.
or. Sho gradually declined into con
sumption, of the sort called "linger
ing." Saint James, becoming alarmed,
made a journey all the way to Chica
go for the best medical advice. To
make sure of something, ho decided
"to try all sorts of Doctors." Ho con
sulted Allopaths, Homccopaths, Eclec
tics, Electrics, and Mediums. No two
agreed in their diagnoses; but cach'one
Predicted a hital termination in case
his system was not strictly adhered Ao..
Thd spiritual medium saw, in a trance,
poor Hannah feleaSed ; 'ancl .- her hus
band remarried. Saiht; Saidest . 'had d
thought he was prepared for'tlie worst.
It was during this visit that Saint,
James chanced upon ' , his famous par
rot, a bird of remarkable volubility and
Sharpness of speech—inlabt ; a foath
ered virago: 'Reminded 'of home', the
thought struck hirn,that this would bo
a pretty present, for his peer wife, and
that:it.might even .have a. salutary ,in
fluenc6:6n her unhappy ,moral,infirmi
_ty—senewhat oh the great principle
of IXahneniiinn. ,;So he bOiioit the tin
lovely. fowl of a guileless Isra'elit'o,whi)
held it dear and sold'it cheap.
Saint James didinOt• stay .long in
Chicago. That ' , VOndifful City was

Legend of a Musket,
Mark Twain toils the following sto
ry related by a felloW passenger, who
being bantered at his timidity, said be
had never been seared since ho loaded
an old Queen Anna musket for his fa
ther, whereupon ho gave the follow
ing :
"You see the old man was trying
to teach mo to shoot beasts that tore
up the young corn and things, so that
I could be of soino 'use about tho
because I wasn't big enough to do
much. My gun was a single-shot gun,
and the old man carried an old Queen
Anna musket that weighed a ton, made
a report like a thundor•clap and kick=
od like a mule. Tho old man wanted
me to shoot - the musket sometimes
but I was afraid. Ono day though
I got her down, and so I took her to
the hired man and asked him how 'to
load her, because it'•was but in the
field. 'Hiram said :
"110 you see those marks on the
stock—an X and aV on each side of
the Queen's Crown'. 'Well, that means
te,n balls and five slugs—that's her
load."'
' , But how much 'powder ?"-
"Oh, it don't matter, put in Hire()
or four handfulls."
So I loaded her up that way, and
it was an awful charge—l had sense
enough to see that,, and started out.—
I leveled her on a, good many black
birds; but every time I wont to pull
the trigger, I-shut my oyes and wink:
ed. I was afraid of her kick. To•
wards sundown I fetched up at the
house, and there was the old. man rest
ting on the porch." •.,
"Been out hunting have you ?"
"Yes, sir.",
"What did you kill ?"
"I didn't kill anything, sir; I didn't
shoot her off; was afraid she would
kick," I kntiw blamed well she
"Ciim me that gun," the old , man
said, as mattes sin. ,
And hetook aim at a sapling on the
other side of the road,
,and I began to
drop back out of danger. And the
next moment I heard an earthquake,
and the Queen Anne whirling end l oy.er
end in the air, and the old man
ing round and round op one heel, with
ene leg up, and both hands on his jaw,
and the, bark rfly,ing r from the: sapling l
like as if there was a imil,storea.. The
old man's jaw turned Weis, and One,
