A beautiful May morning, - Fruit trees all in blossom; grass green and smooth and crisp, fresh from a bath of rain-drops it had received during the night. Birds everywhere, now hopping on , the grass and walks, now flitting to the highest tree-tops, while from the way they poured forth trills and quavers of delightful melody, one could not but fancy them halt' crazy with glee. The little village of also assumed its freshest, prettiett attire. A generalpaint ing'repairing and improving of private residences had taken place during the month of April, and now, with gardens clean and laid out in flower-beds, or bright and cheery, even with only a smooth, green lawn, dotted here and there with hardy plants and ruse-bushes, all seemed ready to attract and interest a stranger's gaze. One large and handsome house with charming grounds, rustic harbors, and drooping vines, with air loaded with per *lttzrolll fruit blossoms and early spring fib • s, particularly claimed attention, as just issuing from its winding carriage-way, were two young and attractive ladies seated in a light phaeton, before which a rather spirited young horse pranced, requiring all the strength of the eldest of the two girls to hold him. As Cresar, the colored coachman, who had lived in the family fir years, opened the gate for their exit, he shook his head and exclaimed : "Better take old Caesar, Missy. Dat horse mighty glib wid his shines dis morn ing. Steps berry proud, and h'ists dat head of his'n most too high." _ _ [apllB, '76. "Never fear, Caesar. Ranger only feels good to exchange his close stable for this balmy spring air. He is all right." "Dunno, Missy Edith. lie looks too fine for me to like. I shall be dun glad of yous bofe get home wide whole skins !" The carriage rolled off as the man spoke, but a light hearted laugh came back to where he stood. About half an hour later, Frank lingford, a young man about twenty years of age, stood in the door of the office where he studied law, when a audden clatter of hoofs, a scream, and rush of flying children, made him look up just in time to see a runaway horse coming with furious speed toward him, a light phaeton swinging from side to side of the street, while two pale faces within it caught his eyes. He tarried not to think, -but dashing forward,threw himself before the frightened animal, and with all his strength held to the bridle, although lifted quite off his feet. The steady grasp, however, slackened the speed, and others coming to relieve him from his perilous position, he turned to assist the ladies from the broken vehicle. One, the driver, and the elder of the two, girl - about ninetettilyears tfao.,-..!leppettl to the ground unhurt, while her cousin, a. beautiful maiden of seventeen, had to be lifted senseless from the carriage by young Wellingford and borne in his arms to a neighboring store. Restoratives, however, soon caused her to open her eyes and mur mur that her arm pained her. This un fortunately, was found to be fractured just above the wrist. Otherwise both were un injured. Soon Mr. Bellmont, the father of Edith, and uncle of Minnie Clayton, appeared, having been hastily summoned Mr. Bellmont warmly thanked Frank Wellingford for his timely assistance, and urged him to call and see them at Locust dale, as he wished to become better ac quaintcd with him. This the young man was glad to do ; to, the next day, he was announced, and finding Miss Minnie quite herself, although with a bandaged arm, be passed a delightful hour, being warmly welcomed by all. This led to frequent visits. Often during his study hours, while bending over the pages of Blackstone or Story, he saw, in imagination, the violet eyes and golden hair of Mr. Bellmont's or phan niece, Frank was also an orphan, and perhaps sympathy united with her great beauty to draw them more closely together. His father died when he was very young, and his home had since been with an aged and very wealthy grandfather. Old Mr. Wel lingford was a fretful, forgetful, old man, and poor Frank took little pleasure in his company, therefore the hours spent at Locustdale were all the more precious to his lonely life. iOO ..... 500 1 75 ..... 10 00 .... 250 .... 300 6 50 ...... 200 It was a beautiful moonlight evening in July when Frank, with Minnie leaningon his arm, left the piazza and slowly wandeted around the grounds. The young man had told his love, and having received the con sent of her uncle, was just telling her of his success. "I know we love each other fondly, dar ling, and since your uncle permits it, our engagement can be acknowledged, and as soon as I have finished my studies and es tablished myself in business, I shall claim my wife and settle down to unspeakable happiness " Poor Frank ! even as be spoke those joyous words, a shadow, dark and heavy, was gliding toward him, ever creeping, creeping nearer,•.and very soon he would be hidden, lonely, sorrowful and deserted, in its hideous folds. "Oh, how delightful that time be. Think how we shall enjoy always being together. Nothing can part us now, dearest, but death, for such love as ours could never waver or grow less," returned Minnie. •'lever 7 . 0, Minnie, my whole heart, my whole love, and my whole life is from henceforth devoted to you." So exchanging vows of constancy and affection, the happy pair wandered on in moonlight, untninlful of the moments that were passing, F o soon, never to be re called. 3 00 00 1 10 6 00 While they delighted in each other, just within the house beat a heart as full of sorrow as theirs was full of h;iss. Edith Belhnont found, when too late, that from the hour when Frank had res cued both herself and cousin from their periloug ride, her grateful heart had been his, and it was with a shrinking spirit and aching void that, she heard of his love for her more beautiful cousin. "Why, oh why must this be so 1" she sighed. "Why did he choose so change able, proud and selfish a girl, when I would have Fond so much more true and tender ? Yet, since it is the will of God, I must and do submit, and say, 'Thy will, not mine, be• done.' " Two months amore passed away unmarred by aught to distress or pain the lovers. Then the shadow crept even nearer, and hung as yet unnoticed, ready to fall, above the unconscious youth. Frank had spent a happyhour at Locust. dale one morning, and with his darling's t • - 7 :", , • • _ . ri-7,----- 7!" t, - - 17.- ''' • I , 71: • , ' 3. • ii :: -1. ; . .. ‘ 4i t .

As he stepped into the parlor, his grandfather, without a word of warning, caught:him by the collar and commenced a tirade of abuse, while he shook him between each word with all the strength his hands, feeble with age, would allow. Surprised beyond expression at the fu rious looks and actions of the old man, Frank gently and respectfully urged him to explain the cause of his anger. "Explain ! Yes, you thief, I will explain. to your sorrow ! What have you done with my money ? Say, wretch ! where is the money you have stolen from my desk ?" "I ! Stolen money ! Grandfather, this is more than I can bear ! I know nothing of your money, and you must never call me that name again !" "Must I not, indeed ? Sae here, thief —for I repeat the word—l have an officer in this house ready to arrest you; and here he is," he added, as an officer did, indeed, enter. "Now, where is that one thousand dollars you stole from my desk last evening? Answer, or march to jail !" "Listen to me, grandfather, and believe me, for I speak the truth. You surely cannot mean to carry this thing any fur. ther. I never saw your money, I solemnly declare ?" "You are a lying thief!" returned the furious old man. "You went to my desk to get a document for me last evening, and I myself gave you the keys. Can you deny that ?" "No. I do not deny that, obeying your own orders, I went there ; but I do . most emphatically deny that I touched an article in it save the one paper, lying by itself, that you sent me for." "Yet one thousand dollars that I had placed in a small drawer within that desk is this morning gone, and you only have been there ? Officer Dare, there is no use in wasting words. Take this ungrateful scamp out of my sight instantly,. and may my curses forever go with him I" Seizing the poor fellow roughly by the arm, the unfeeling, brutal officer of the law marched him into the public street, unmindful of his pleadings that he might be taken in a close carriage, if he must go, or at least by a more private route: As he passed along, followed by the usual crowd of unfeeling boys, a carriage rolled by, and raising his eyes, he turne deadly pale as he saw the horrified gate of his own Minnie fixed upon him. All the dreadful shame of his position pressed up on him then, and never while he lived did he forget the freezing, contemptuous, ud pitying look of scorn those violet eyes; that he had so loved i flung towards him. He did not see the sad, sorrowful, surprised yet sympathizing look that filled with tears sweet eyes close beside her. A pleasant writer has said : "Like the sea anemone, which feels the first returning wave upon the rock and throws out all its tendrils, so the tender nature of some individuals will give forth all its sympathies at the slight *rtimi4Ontkff—woe.7 Snot a matuiretilliftaith4osaiss. the first surprise of the sight beforof her, came pitiful thoughts for his sorrow—for that he was in sore trouble she saw at a glance, and her gentle heart throbbed only with sympathy and love. It was a sad pity that the poor fellow saw not those gentle looks. Heart-broken as he was, some comfort might have enter ed his crushed soul had be but wet that gaze. . . We will not stay to describe the anguish that overwhelmed Frank Wellingford while awaiting his trial. Public sentiment was all against him ; and, indeed, circumstan tial evidence was strongly in favor of his guilt. No friend stepped forward with bail, nor would his proud spirit accept any, had it been offered, neither would he in terfere in his own behalf, when he knew that h: was innocent. So law took its course, and he waited in a felon's cell, to be justified or convicted as the issue might be. Messrs. Bell.& Burton, the lawyers with whom he had studied, undertook his defense, although, they felt, with little hope of success. That money had not been found upon him, neither had he disposed of any large sum, was all that could be found in his favor. His trial was made all the more heavy to bear by a note received from the heart less Minnie Clayton, in which she bade him farewell forever, saying, "whether guilty or innocent, she felt herself disgrac ed by being betrothed to one who had been led through the • public streets as a guilty thief. One thing she knew, she be lieved him guilty, and so did almost all her friends, and now she-never wished to see him again, or' have anything more to do with him." This letter seemed all that was nee3ed to utterly prostrate the unfortunate young' man, and fcr several days be lay ill in hii cell, and it was feared a long_ fever would ensue, but fortunately a good constitution and a peaceful conscience brought him back to health, if not to happiness. One afternoon be was rejoiced to see the faithful Caasar enter his cell, bringing him several books and a letter. ' 'Deed to grashus, Massa, dis is a roux. in', roarin' shame. To tink old black Cae sar can walk the streets unconfiscated, and such a splendid gemmin be cooped like a chicken in such a misery hole, makes me hoppin' mad. But dere s a letter to chirk you up, and it comes from de nicest, sweet est young lady in dis rollin' globe. Dar's books, too, she sent to make you forget de troubles of die yere dismal life." So saying, Caesar laid down his bundle, placed the letter respectfully in Frank's hand, threw a scornful look around the cell, sighed deeply, and shaking his woolly head, departed. "Pardon my seeming boldness"—so read the letter—"in thus addressing you. my dear friend, but after the great service you once rendered: me, I cannot allow you to lie under such a fearful cloud of sorrow and trouble, and not say that I for one believe you wholly innocent of the cruel charge your grandfather has made, and no matter what the issue of your trial shall be, nothing shall ever cause me to waver in the perfect confidence iplice in your integrity; honesty and truth. Please ac cept for your amusement the few books I send, and believe that in me you will ever find a trusting, tree friend. 4DITH BELLNONT." "Thank God !• one person believes me innocent," murmured poor Frank, as a tear rolled over his pale cheek. "Oh, if Min. nic could only have thought and spoken thus, how differently I would have felt.— But she casts me off unheard, while Edith nobly trusts me. Never, never, will I forget my one only friend !" The day or trial at length arrived, and the court room was filled with an eager; curious throng. By the unwearied efforts of his counsel, Frank was acquitted, a humble, shrinking, blighted youth, stint out from society, and, - more bitter still, scorned and unrecognised by his betrothed. Mr, and Mrs. Bellmont,with the rest of the villagers, turned coldly hom him, and only the trusting, faithful Edith gave him glad looks and kind words, whenever they chanced to meet. HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1878. , His old employers, very unexpectedly, gave him back his place in their office; E 0 with a sad .but patient heart, the once hopeful youth pressed on with his studies, an l resolved to wait with resignation for time and God to prove his innocence. About two years after his trial his grandfather died very suddenly, attended only by Mrs. Matthews, an honest acrd re spectable widow, who had been his house keeper for twelve or fourteen years. To her he gave his bedroom furniture, and his old fashioned writing-desk. As he left no will, and Frank was his only living relative, he inherited his vast and con stantly increasing property. Yet this made his life none the less bitter as long as he knew his old friends and neighbors still regarded him as an unconvicted thief; and having been admitted to the bar, he removed to a distant city, where he achiev ed great professional success. Eight years of trial passed, uncheered by the lips of love or the recognized look of affection and trust. Yet, all unknown to him, one heart loved him well, and Edith Bellmont refused many offers of marriage, remaining unwedded for his sake alone. Not so with Minnie. She married in less than six months after his release, but her marriage proved unfortunate. Dis sipation carried her husband to an early grave, and she returned to her uncle's residence, a broken spirited widow with a poor imbecile child, a source of constant grief and mortification to her proud heart. Meantime, Mrs. Matthews, the house keeper, had removed to a snug little home of her own, where she often thought sor rowfully of the bright respectful boy that once she loved, but who, in her estimation, was guilty of the meanest crime. She grieved over it, however, and regretted that so dark a shadow should have floated over his 'bib. One day she found it necessary to en tirely empty the compartments in the old writing-desk in order to wash and dust the shelves, drawers, and entire piece of furni ture. While thus occupied she accidently hit a secret spring, when, to her astonish meat, a slide flew back, revealing a parti Lion never seen or suspected to be there. In this recess lay a roll of bank bills, around which was a slip of paper, bearing these words : •'lleceived from Josiah Marlin, this day, one thousand dollars." This paper was signed James Welling ford, and bore the date of the very day when Frank bad been accused of taking it. Evidently the old man had placed them -there, and then, through the infirmities of age, had forgotten that be had changed •their hiding place. And thus Frank was proved innocent. It did not take long to summon the in jured man by telegraph, and when the news was communicated to him in person, joyful indeed was the smile that hovered over his face, and light grew his heart as that black shadow rolled from his life. 0;d friends, who had kept aloof all these years, now gathered round to congratulate Jahn, ktut their word-ilea ooldiy on his ear, *ok Wisac' , no in env 'isf.lhern4he friend who.had been a friend in his need. Only 44:dith Bellmont laid her hand in his, ind smiling through tears of sympathetic joy, exclaimed: "I always felt that you were innocent, and I thank God that I never for one mo ment swerved from my perfect faith in you, •my dear friend !" 'And I too, thank God, that through all my dark trials I had one true friend. May I not now, since my innocence is clearly proved, come and speak to you of a love that has been in my heart for years, but of which I dared not tell you while that shadow rested on my name and life ?" With a deep blush, yet thrilling look of love and joy, Edith murmured the one word that spoke such volumes, 'Come !" That evening saw Frank • again wander ing around the grounds from which helad been banished for eight long years, but the loved one beside him, his promised bride, was not the blonde beauty of former days, but the faithful, trusting Edith, whose presence, looks and words had cheered him in the times of his deepest trials and shad ows. While thus Frank and Edith were hap py in their betrothal, the faithless Minnie sat alone weeping angrily over her wasted life and unhappy lot, Etacljers in (Council. Rororted by R. McDivar, EsQ.] Teachers' Institute. (Continued.) Mr. Sheeder had practiced on this plan for a number of years and found it very successful. The plan of alternating was decidedly objectionable. Mr. Giles remarked that we must cater to public opinion or find ourselves without a school or an occupation. This had been his experience in the course of 25 years teaching. Discussion cloied. Music by the choir. _ _ _ Mr. M. T. Lightner addressed the meeting on the subject : "Why do we teach ? ' No one teaches for the love of it. The The world needs more light. It needs the light of science. The great possibilities of our race are bound up in the fields of sci ence. It is the object of science from the latent forces of nature to,.develop living active powers and for this ikason we should teach. The world needs the light of phil osophy, and this must be brought about by some agent. Political economy. is one of the agents. Men are led to discover an intelligent first cause by the light of sci ence. Political economy provides laws but the nations need the light of Philosophy. While led to study truths they must see the necessity of laws. There must be a law : giver—an unseen power back of all things. No Astronomer can be an atheist. He is surely led to an intelligent first cause. When Kepler made his wonderful discov ery of the planetary laws, he said "My God ! I think thy thoughts after thee Belief thus becomes obedience to unseen laws and is led to reflect the glory of God. Humanity is capable of better things and the mind - may be hindered in its course but cannot be stopped. Oar desires for knowl edge can never be satisfied, and when we have enjoyed what we wish then new 41e sires spring up. Nothing present is en tirely satistectory, and we are -eontinnelly looking forward to new blessings. Edu cation is the means- of bringing about a better state of things in the world. Our national security does not depend on wealth or ability. Greece and Rome rise as beacon . lights to warn us against put ting our trust in the things of time and sense. If thie depends on the moral and intellectual' development who is to accom plish this great work ?. Is it not the teach er,the conscientioniAillyokireloped teach er,with . the Bible) in .bit.hikW The teach- er is to be the bulwark of Freedom and is to protect us amid the dangers to which we are exposed. The next generation will be what the teachers have made it, arid there fore the teacher's office is the most honora ble. It is to this alone we must look for the character of the people. The teachers' battlis and victories are greater than those achieved by an Alexander, a. Camar, a Na poleon or a Wellington. May the time soon come when every teacher will realize the importance of the position so that they may be able to say,in the last hour "I have fought the" good fight; I have finished my course," &c. DISCUSSION Mr. Giles dissented from some of the remarks of the speaker. Is there anything in science that will purify the heart, cor rect the will, or sweeten the temper ? Does religkn consist in a knowledge of scientific subjects ? Did the knowledge of Voltaire, Shakespeare, Bolriogbroke, Hume, Milt on, or Pope, lead them to God ? Scientific men are not always christians, and the most scientific men are disbelievers in the existence . of a God. Mt. Lightner explained. He had said that knowledge of science led to an intelli gent first cause, or to some other unseen power. The fool hath said in his heart not in hie mind, "there is no God." Mr. J. G. Corbin said the tendency of a correct knowledge of materiality is to lead to a correct knowledge of immateriali ty. ,Science furnishes a basis on which the religious teacher can act. Au intelli• gent audience is preferable to an ignorant one to preach to. How CID they know without a teacher ? Science is the superi ority we have over other nations. Mr. White, in regard to the question "Why do we teach ?" remarked that some taught for love and some for money, and a good many of us get but little of either. (Laughter.) Intermission of five minutes. Music, "Robison Crusoe." W. R. Baker, of Marklesburg, address ed the meeting on the subject "Neglected but essential principles of arithmetic." He recommended grouping the numbers, after the numeration table has been thoroughly committed, and illustrated his method on the blackboard, of teaching Notation and Numeration, multyplying by tens, hund reds, &c., and in writing Federal money. In teaching factoring make it a point to teach that factors are to be multiplied to gether to produce numbers, and make the reading impressive. He also illustrated his method of teaching cancellation, the common divisor and common multiplier. Rev I. N. Hays resumed the subject of "Tact in School Management." Tact in recitations is the throne of your power.— Fail in this and you fail utterly. Make the recitations pleasant. Study the art of questioning. This generally secures the eye and the ear of the whole class. Let thct pupils do the work. Teachers often do too much talking daring recitations.— Avoid the stuffing process. Put the ques tion so that they will be compelled to il -Ifiltrate; they cm geese if you put it ite4 tEe 'reef form.. Fin out exactly what , the pupil knows. - Avoid the old way of "doing sums" for the pupils. This is only mechanical and utterly useless. First let the principle be developed, and by all means cultivate the habit of self-reliance by teaching pupils to help themselves. Adjourned till 11 P. at. TUESDAY AFTERNOON Rev. I. N. Hays, resumed. the subject, "Tact in the -school . room,"' commencing the subject of legislation, or' the _preservation of order. Hold a firm grasp of the throne.fer the first ten days and the trouble is about ended. Make no list of -rules, but have one' rule, to do right, and let this apply to all persons and at all times. Never attempt to • chastise until satisfied, that there is manifest wrong doing. Keep the pupils all busy. This lies at the foutv.: dation of good government. "Satan finds mischief for idle hands." The next im portant thing is close inspection. • Great trouble may be avoided by taking every difficulty in time and being prepared - for it, just as Harrisburg avoided injury from the late riots, by vigilance, whilst Pitts burg suffered from inattention till matters had assumed grave proportions. Always try to find something to approve ; -some teachers are continually finding fault. En couragement is always productive of good results. Whenever you make an exaction appeal to their better nature, and if possi ble govern-without discipline. Never make an occasion-te show your authority, and' avoid leaping into difficulties; it. is easier to make a difficulty than to remove it.-- . Decision is a point of vital importance,— Do not allow the pupil to conquer Avoid. losing your temper and never chastise when in a passion. The tenderness that melts the heart is that which tells. Try to know how and when to do -the work and it will not seem like the same work. A general discussion of the subject was participated in. by Messrs. , . Giles, J. G. Corbin and Bollinger. _ Intermission of 5 minutes . Lecture by J. H. Brumbaugh. Subject, "History." First its importance, and next the method of teaching it. Cultivate -a liking for facts instead of fiction. We have to do with three elements of the mind, intellect, sensibility and will. We must have the means in order to cultivate the intellect, imagination, reason andjudg meat. We haie no branch in the schools that will cultivate the imagination.. No faculty is of more value than a well etakti vated memory. What are We doing to cultivate the memory of our pupils ? It is not done by any of the branches usually taught, as the tendency is to cultivate. the reasoning faculty rather than- the.memory. They generally-go from the school without the taste or desire to study the history- of men or nations, but . rather to read bad literature, and if you do not give it.to them they will take it themselves. Music—" The helping hand." Discussion—Subject—"What results in society will a more central education of the masses produce ?" Opened by J. G. Corbin. The result depends on the kind of education. If it be the physical, moral and intellectual of the masses the world over, then the prospect would be glorious to contemplate. What was the condition of the masses previous to the invention of printing ? The masses were the pack heroes and the aristocracy were carried for ward on the backs of the "hewers of wood and drawers of water." Unless the moral department of education keeps pace with the intellectual we are only whetting a sword to put in the hands of a madman • hence we must not forget that the sancti fying in fluence of education consists in the moral part. The results which would follow would be peaoo, prosperity, true economy, pure political administration, court houses converted into dwellings for the poor, churches consolidated, sectarianism oblit erated, and a union of hearts and hands. Ignorance is the cause of dissension and 12, there woutd be no litigation.if we all un derstood the law. Is this practicable ? There is more practicable than has been accomplished yet. The subject was further discussed by Alossrs. W. It. Baker and B. F. Brown. Music—" Awake, awake, the flowers Ul3-' fold." Question—" Should pupils he permitted to help one another in the preparation of their lessons ?" opened by D. M. Giles. Pupils have too much help at present, and the consequence is they are not self reliant. Prof. Davies gives the following rules : Ist. Learn one thing at a time. 2d7 Learn that one thing well 3d. Learn its connection, as far-as possible, with all other things 4th. To know everything about some thing is better than to know something about everything. We find in the present day the tendency is in the opposite direction ; pupils are expect ed to learn everything ; High Schools, Academies and Normal Schools are multi plied, and what once required a few years to learn must now be crowded into a few months. Twenty-two branches to be learn ed in our State Normal Schools in three years! Kepler was 17 years in demonstra ting one law of the heavenly bodies, and now the parchment that these gentlemen produce indicates that they are thorough in 22 branches,in the space of three years. The idea is preposterous and contrary to com mon sense. Too much help tends to indo lence. Not many persons like mental la bor, and particularly children. Teach your pupils to be industrious and when they go into the sharp conflict of life they have energy and force, and that class makes the hest men and women. This thing of scholars showing one another is a source of disorder in the school room. Order is Heaven's first law, and there can be no good teaching without it. The further discussion of the subje was continued by Messrs. J. G. Corbin and B. F. Brown. Rev. I. N. Hays, spoke of the moral element in education. Science points to a great first cause, and no man can study nature without fielinv and knowing that there is a great Father somewhere, over us or around or within us. The more you educate the mind and leave the heart un touched the more you make him an in strument of evil. What is the hope of the country if you shut out the Bible ? If you want good citizens you must make them not only intellectual but moral. No man is fit to train children that is not himself an example of what a citizen ought to be. The sooner a profane, vulgar, indecent man goes out of the praession the better. Cul tivate a reverence for the word of God. Never let there be anything but silence when we come near to a throne of grace, and rast, but not least, never lose an op portunity of putting in a word in favor of God's word, and try to keep before your pupils' minds that it is a message sent down from Heaven. Adjourned till 7p. EVENING SESSION The session was opened with music by the,-eittssolerio.sed quartette, by Miss Hat -tie—Miller and others,. and .the balance of the evening was occupied in the admir able leetare or Mr. Waliace.Bruca, on the subject of " Womanhood of Shakespeare." The exercises were concluded witL music -Solo—'•The Mower Girl ;" by Miss .Agnes Hilda McConnell. Quartette, "Our barque is on the stream," and the recita tion of two poems by Mr. Bruce, entitled "Witch haz,4 switches," and "Old Times and new." Adjourned till 9 A. M. IVEDNESOAY MORNING Devotional exercises led by Rev. F. B. Riddle, of Huntingdon. Prof. J. Irvin White gave instructions in teaching Gram mar, and illustrated his . manner of teach ' ing- the several properties of. the verb, through all its modes and tenses, without naming them. Mr. W. H. Sheeder, gave instructions on the subject of teaching Geography, Mathematical and Physical. It is difficult to understand a description of any .:object without having it in some form before us. Physical Geography should be understood to a considerable extent by the teacher before able to give definite instruction in descriptive geography. The teacher's suc cess depends largely upon general knowl edge which might relate, - either directly or indirectly,.to the subject he attempts to teach. Physical Geography can be taught successfully without the text book; in the form of object lessons. He illustrated how the natural , phenomena, ,rain fall, ocean curreats, mineral springs, deserts, &c., can be taught, even to very small pupils, and those who have but little. knowledge of geography, in this manner. The subject was further discussed by Messrs. Taylor, Green, Giles and Wright. Intermission of five minutes. Prof. Sensenig, of.lndiana, lectured oa the subject of . Arithmetic, its definitions,. and their relation to primary teaching, first. as.a science then as an art. We should first teach the fundamental ideas, "without; definitions and then how to perforn.l every, operation by the shortest - and simplest method, and then to be able to make_ prac- - tical illustrations in these operations and fundamental ideas. The professor illus trated at length, and in an able and mas terly manner, his method of teaching. in this way the fuodathentarrelee-- and prin ciples of arithmetic, • and demonstrating that the memorizing of definitions was simply.a waste of time and athonnted to nothing without ideas. The ideas must be, gainedfirst,,and- they cannot be. taught. through-defiaitiona and the use of land wage without meaning. Verbiage withont . . ideas is valueless. The general discussion on this subject was participated in by Messrs. Qreene; Brown, - Corbin, Taylor; Irenderson, anti Tussey. The subject, "What should the teacher require to be tnemoripd ?" was opened by Mr. J. T. Caldwell. . He opposed 'the memorizing of history as tending only* to deaden the 'bind, and'as only encumbering that which is beyond. their . power t) en- rich. Adjourned till 1 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION, Maiic.. "When the summer rain is over." Subject of History resumed • by • J. H. Brumbaugh. Our mental tests should be adhered to as well as our physical. It will not do to cram the mind of the pupil until he has made it a part of his own knowledge. The pupil should not be com pelled to commit that which he does not ful ly understand, but should express the idea in his own language. The study of histo ry should be pursued in the school because it supplies a want in the school room, and creates an interest in literature, and culti vates the memory. You are not master of the subject until you can commit the thoughts and express them in your own language. It gives the pupil an opportu nity of cultivating the ability of telling what he knows. Pupils need culture in method of expression. and there is nothing that tends§o Intieh' in' tliiidireOtion'.ai . the• study of history. In teaciting first generalize, thetrloeslite, then partiou..

' Subject of Arithmetic, continited, , by 'Prof. Sensenig. Definitions; principles, and rules should be committed to memory at certain times, but everything should be done id proper order. First, see that we . have the idea, let it be pet in : your own ' language, and finally commit it to memory. ' The little child can get no idea of a unit by committing it to memory. Definitions are important, but the best things in the world are undefinable He then illustrated his theory of developing the primary ideas orarithmetic independent of definitions An art consists first. of elementary ideas, second abstract operations, third concrete applications. First give the idea; second, its application from the concrete to the abstract ; third, .from the simple to the complex, and fourth. first the how ; then the why. You-can lead pupils from an idea to a definition easily, but first get the ideas. Do not teach the concrete first and not the abstract. Every abstract thought has a concrete idea that fills that thought. An abstract idea is a vague idea; a concrete idea appeals to die senses. Pupils cannot demonstrate the principles -of arithmetic at five or six years of age, but you can. show - how to do it. The idea was 57 , uy i los ted on the blackboard.

Henderson, opened the dis cussion of the subject,: "What .atteiltiOn should the teacher give to the formation of character ?" Character is a combination of qualities which it becomes us as teach ers to aid the pupil in developing. A well balanced - character in a human being must contain an esthetic, an- ethical and a prac tical part, none of which must be. neglect ed. We must confine ourselves to the great principles of purity of mind, heart and purpose. We are-to discard immor ality, vice and i'adifference and use all the powers God has given us hi accumulating the ability and. centering it in the applica tion and teaching.of that wllieh is noble, pure, right and good. .

M. THURSDAY AFTERNOON. The subject, "School without the red, or the True Philosophy of Government," opened by W. R. Baker. True philosophy of government cm mences some years before the teacher's work begins—at home, in the infancy of the child. There are three kinds of home• government—two wrong and one right.— Fird from fear of abuse, which leads to complaint, resistance and rebellion. The same characteristics will . be found in the child when it comes into the school room. The foundation of all true goverment is to obey front a sense of right. Those who are thus trained will give no trouble in the school room. We should have a definite policy when we commence a school, and introduce it on our first arrival, stating the s EVENING SESSION "Light heatted TIIURSDAY Ia.fORNINc ,_..~... .r-~...... . .

The Devotional Exercises were conducted •by. D.. F. Tussey, esq. The subject, "What preparation should the teacher make for the day's work," was opened by J. F. Corbin. The speaker in .opening the subject took occasion to di .gress somewhat by administering s rather severe, though perhaps well merited. eriti- Ciete upon the conduct of our ministers.— This he said was the first Inatitu hod ever attended where they were Viable to get a clergyman to conduct the - devotional exercises. He had attended criminalSourts here and saw the bar filled with ministers, but we do not find any of them here co operating with us in the work of benefitting .one another and society. It looks as though 'they thought their way of educating the people was different fiom ours, and that therefore they cannot cooperate with a/- The teacher should study the lesson out side of the school room and go into the school with it well fixed in his mind. Ho Should be self reltttnt and herr cash reei tation and be able to teach it without tho text bor,k, thus inspiring his scholars to be self reliant also. He should not be satis fpd merely with the examples in the book but should prepare others and have them on stripi of paper to . give to 'the class to recite. We must do this if we, want to advance in oar profession. The subject was. further discussed by • MessrS.- Brumbaugh, Elbeeder, Ones and Corbin. Prof. Shumaker before resuming the subject Orfirammar, presented Solna very interesting thought: sand well tinted re marks on the much agitated subject, of moral suasion instead of the rod "in schools. _He illustrated his position br anecdote of the man-who placed a toad near one of hiS encumber vines to destroy the bugs, and on 'returning and finding the toad not there, atonic' up with - the moral reflection, "it is a nice thing to have a toad to. watch your cucumber vine, provided , you know your toad." In using the rod and moral suasion depends entirely - -on whether you know your toad. One kind of pupils requires the rod, while another kind can be governeed by moral suasion.
