Butler, followed by a piece of sacred moiio by tbe Glee Club. Kev. 11. S. Butler then delivered an address, the subjoct being "Sympathy between tbe teacher and scholar. In this address be plainly showed one of the great reasons why many of our teachers do not auccood better "there being no sympathy between tbetn and their pupils too often trying to show how much they know and bow little their pupils know, thus discouraging them in their effjrls. Mr. Butler Lav ing at one limo been a lire and activo teucher, wai able to make his remarks practicable, and we are glad to know that they were highly appreciated by the many teachers prevent. The Cloarfield Orchestra then favored the audience with soma fine music, altor which Hon. G. R. Barrult delivered an address on "Teachers instructing their pupils in the observing of the Sabbath day." In bis remarks he taledthalif teachers imagine that their whole duty has been performed when tbey have devoted tbe requirod hours of the day to hearing tho usual lessons of their pupils, how sadly aro tbey mistaken. To say that their duty consists in s mere secular education, ia to tako a very limited view of the duties and responsiblitiet. of a teacher. CMIdrpn learn much at school not rleancd f"m books. Every word epokea by a toaober makes a lusting impression upon tlioir young and in nocent minds. Every word ia treas ured by them, eithor .'or good or evil. Webster defines the word Teacher: One who tcsclies or instructs; an in structor; a tutor; and he defiues a tutor to be one who guardx, protects, watches over, or has tho care of an other; to have the guardianship or oars of; to teach ; to instruct, l'bio gives an enlargod view of Ilia calling or protession, out a correct anti irum ful one. To blend with the olhor re nuirerocnls an idea of correct morals, propriety of language and babils of maniy ueanng auu ue'uriniw.ii, aa.i as time will allow, should be tbe most sirrecable and pleasant part ol a teach or's duty. He remarked further, I hut bis object was to spoil If. of ono crying evil In tbe hind, and to ask touchers to reinembor at least this ono thing in thoi rteaohing, to impress upon young minds a proper obtervence of the Sub. bath dav. "I reuret to admit," lie said, "that tho world il prone more and more every any to a loss oosorv-enr-e of the Sabbath. Tho Divine law makes it a day of reit, and, following its preoepts, ths slatuto law of Pomi avlvanla anioins oossation on that day from all worldly employment." He added further, Uiat if" Jt were not s christian duty, ths phyiioal aystora requires rent from labor. Una day in ths week is not too much. To the poor, the Sabbath is entroojally a bless, ing. It Is their only day of rust ; the bright spot in their lives; lbs day thai home And family associations ulustor around them.

In his con cluding remarks ho requested the tesobor, if it a ere within their power, to impress tboir scholars with tt rev erence for the Sabbath day and to in struct them to keep it holy.

His subject was "Experience of business life Applied to practical teaching," from which weexiruct the following: "Last year my proposition was, 'That governments of men were tbe reflex of their attainments, and to elevate men was to olevato their govern mental standard.' Compulrory meant to this end sro wrong in such a gov-' ernment ss ours. We want educated men, not educated machines. Men who think sad move, not men who move bocause tboy tjiink. Our prises are to be won in tbo war of mind with matter, and not to bo conquered prov-1 inces and nations humiliated. An educational qualification to citizen ship, to take effect a generation hence, would bs one wise measure to the de sired end. Teaching errs often in being superficial. The lesson is so quired by rote, without the reason why it is accompanying it Too mucb is undertaken. Cramming is wrong. Few lessons, snd hard ones, are vastly hotter than many lessons by rote, '.wtihoul thought."' Lessons that sro bard are more deeply fixed. Ibey implant application. This Is an es sential In every business avenue. Il begols attention to detail, and the dull man with this beats tho genius who is without it. It is important to be con die. To say snd write whsl you moan. Get rid of superfluous words, eject tbe adjectives and ad verbs. Accuracy and vigor to lan guage in business, are vital wants In those days. Men by these learn to think and act promptly, ouch men succeed. ' Accuracy and conciseness improve tho perceptive raculliesjiharp- sn our vision intellectually and aid us in ths line of our national peculiar ity, make us what we seem designod to be, prying, inventive, restless, ever moving : a people whose mission is, or seems to be, to advance the cause of scionce sod to elevate and enlighten humanity." After this address, ths Orobestrs favored ths audience with music, after which Rov. W. IL. Burcbfiold address ed ths director! and teachers, the fol lowing bolng a thort extract from his address I "Tbo rising generation is being educated. 1 ho plastic minds ot ths youth ol our country are receiving impressions.

This lesson is but slowly learned, though il has been reiterated by all the history and experience of Iho past.

"Any system of education, or any state policy, which docs not entour ago individual attainment, eventually works its own defeat. Ths older na tions groaned under tbo bondage of such a system and such a policy, and as a result knew nothing About the enlarged freedom And nalinnal pros perity which ws enjoy.

A. Gueqory, President. Daniel Webster's First Plea. Ebenczer Webster, father of Daniel, was u furmcr. The vegetables iu his gsrdon suffered considerably from the depredations of a wood chuck, whoso hold and habitation was near tbe premises. Daniel, some ten y ears old, and his brother Ezekiel, had seta trap, and at last succeedod in catching the trespasser. Ezekiel proposod to kill ine animal ana end at oncoun lurther trouble with bim; but Daniel looked with compassion upon his meek, dumb captive, aud offered to lot bim go. Tbo boys could not agree, and each appealed lo his futhor to decide the case. ' "Well, my boys," suid the old gen tleman, "I will bo judge and you shall be counsel to plead tbo case for and against hi liberty." hzekiol opened the case wub a strong argument urging tbo mischiev ous nature ot tbo criminal, the great harm be bad already done, said that much lime and labor had boon spent in bis capture, snd now, If suffored to go at lurge, be would renew bis dep redations, and be cunning enough not to bo caught again, and Inst he ought now lo Do put to death : that his skin was ol somo vulue, and that, make the most of him they could, il would not repay bail the damage bo bad alreudy dono. His argument was ready, prac tical, and lo the point, and of touch greater longth than our limit will allow us to occupy in relating iho story. Iho lather looked with pride upon his son, who became a distinguished jurist in bis manhood. ' "Now, Daniel, ill your turn; III bear what you have got to say." It was tbe first case. Hamul saw that the plea ol his brolhor had sensi. bly affected his fulher, the judgo, and bis large, brilliant black eyes roslcd upon the soft, timid expression of tho animal, and he saw il tremble with fear in its narrow prison house. His heart swelled with pity, and ho ap poulod with eloquent words thut tbo captive might go free. God, be said, hud made the woodchuck ; Us mado bira to livo to enjoy tbo bright sun shine, tho pure air, tho fields and woods. God has not mado bim or any thing in vain, Tbo woodchuck hud a much right to livo as any other living ibing; bo wus nol a destructive animal, like the wulf ; he simply ato a few common vegetables, of which tbey bad plenty, and cuuld well spuro a part; he destroyed nothing except tbo little rood be ale lo sustain bis humblo lifo; and thai little food was as necessary to his existence as wus lo them tho lood on their mothers table. God furnished their own food. He gave them all they possessed, and would ibey not snare a little for a dumb erealuro who really had as much right to his small share of God' bounty as they thoiusolvcs had to their portion f Yea, more ; the ani mal had never violated tho law of bit nature or tho luws of God, as man often did, but strictly followed tho simple instincts he had received from tho hands of tho Creator of all things. Created by God's hands, ho had a right from God lo food, to liberty, and they had no right to deprivo him of either. Ho alluded lo tbo mute bul earnest pleadings of the animnt for that lifo, as dear to bim as wore their own, and tbe judgment they might expect, if ineelHuh cruelty and cold beartednoss tbey look tbo life they could not restore again. During the appeal the tears had ilnrtcd in the old man's eyes, and woro fust running down his sunburnt chocks. Evory feoling of a f.ithor'e heart was stirred within him, and he fell that Gad hud blessed him beyond tbe lot or common men. His pity was awakunod by tho eloquent words of compassion and ibe strong appeal for morcy ; and lorgetiing tne judge in tbo man and the fulher, ho sprang from bis chair (whilo Daniel was in tho midst of his argument, without thinking he had alreudy won his cnse und turning lo his eldest ion, dushod the tears from his eyes, ho oxclaimcd : "Zeko, Zoko, you Id that woodchuck go."

Tho Romans performed only sacred dances st first, and regarded all oth ers as degrading.

A time caiac, bowevory whon the Ro mans departed from their primitive rigorousuess, running Into tbo other extreme, tbey honored dancing as ons of tho most ennobling arts ; tiicy evou treated favorite public dancers iu a mannor befitting groat men or sover eigns only. The first converts to Christianity being still imbued with their pagan cusloms,)introduced danc ing into their now form of worship. Large companies of mun and women were in Iho habit ol going out in tho deserts (o purlicipule iu rclitiiou oero-' monies, which lu.iinly ouiisiNiod of wild; fur.lnstic dances. Those having, in time, become rather too licentious, wero prohibited by tho ecclesiastical authorities.

Tbe Sulks was brought from the forests ol tungary in 1740, and created quite a sensation.

It has become quito apparent that our judges aud lawyer are very sun si livo lo newspaper strictures and crit icism and thai tboy aro ready, when ever opportunity offers, lo punish edi lorial offenders against our libel laws to tho fullest extent authorised by those unjust and unwise eiiactmonls. But, whilo tboy thus evince each a high regard for tho character of per sons criticized by tbu newspapers, they appear to believe it perfectly proper to assail Iho character of Wit nesses in Court, however ropulublu, when it is doomed necessary to cast discredit upou their testimony. At torneys aro permitted by the Judges to act most outrageously in this res pect, and tho injured witness has no chance for redress, nor can ho or she resent iho outrage without being ad- j judged guilty of conU'iupl, and impris oned. And attorneys ure allowed to brow-boat and insult witnesses, in all cases, to their heart's content, the judges quietly poriniiling theiu lo dut ao, as though a witness were a criuu- nul buloru tbe touvl. Yt o insist that attorneys, especially prosecuting at torneys should reform ibsmsolrvs in this particular, before reading any more lectures to editors. So long as they slander and poruiit te bs slan dered rospcclubiu cilizons who are compollod lo attend court as witnesses, and who really aro entitled to as re spectful treatment as the judges them selves, those judicial and legal offend era shold bold their peace ss to lbs conductor of the publia press.- , Tho Uarrisburg Mate ournilspeak ing on this suhjuct, says: "However extreme many of our contcmporarves hsvo been, and still are, in this intem perate indulgonco, ibey bavo yet to go a long way further to come up with '.ho licuuai) and licentiousness uf lan guage used toward individuals by the legal profession, when before a jury." It further says : "There is scarcely an attorney at any bai in the Stale but bat shamofully villilied the characters of men and women whoso testimony it was necessary to brenk down iu order to save a guilty client from a cell, or convict an innocent tlefendunt to appease a hardhearted purauor;" and then arks: "Why should at torneys enjoy lbs Immunity of blun dering good mon nnd wonicnf" and wo repeal tho question and ask another: What would ihcso men think snd do if personal slanders, such as they per pel rate against unoffending and re putable witnesses, wcro printed sgainsl themselves!' Those ovcr-sonsltivo per sons should "look al homo" und con sider the virtuous churucter of tbeir own houses before they cast any mors stones at editor. A Little Composition on tub Wn.EEL-BAn.Row. The Daubury yew says i If you have occasion to nso it whoclbarrow, leave it, whon you aro through with it, in front of the bouso with tbe handles toward the door. A wheelbarrow is the most complicated tiling to full over on Ilia face of tho eurth.
