Saim, County Superintendent. For the Educational Column. Teachers Duty Respecting Public Onin ion. The acknowledged realm of the teach ' er is constantly enlarging; the duties that the teacher of to-day owes to his scholars are fur more numerous and responsible j • .ban restsd upon the teacher half a century | ago. Tt is the natural and beneficent re sult of much thought by the wisest men, as the world rises to juster views of hu man life, to clearer perceptions of the ua ture, powers, and capabilities of the hu man mind : as the commonplace remark ■ that education determines a man's career, ■ is more fully understood, people naturally demand that the teachers of the young be wise and good enough to mould their char acters and fix their habits of thought judi- j ciousiy. A careful observer will perceive great elevation in the general tone of pub- ! j lie sentiment in this respect. Almost ev- I cry body admits that the teacher should be I a person of irreproachable moral character, of purity in the use of language, of exem plary care in the choice of* companions. of such excellence of conduct and influence that his pupils may safely aud profitably imitate him: Very few are indifferent to toe character of the teachers of their ohk- j -) rea hardly any are willing than an in- i THURSDAY. MAY 16, 1861 temperate man should be allowed to have ■ the care of a school; few, it any, are dis posed to look with favor or even tolera . tion upon profanity in u teacher, j All this is precisely light, and it isiuo?-t J earnestly to be hoped that the day is not * far distant when the moral character and ' conduct required ol the teacher shall be j equal to that which Christian public scnti : ment looks for in the religious guide. Jt ; is wholly proper that the community should : demand in the teacher not only the ability to impart instruction in arithmetic, gram > uier, geography, but the personal qualities which enable one to be a suitable leader of youth. Ibis demand is not lully met by . simple example; it requires in addition the j ability to set before scholars in clear and < attractive lights the fundamental priuci j pies ol all genuine manliness and woman iiness. What is required is, good instruc ' tion illustrated by daily example. hat lias already been said is prelimin ( ary to some thoughts concerning the prop j er regard which should be had tor public , opinion, and to call the attention of teach t ers to the influence they should exert in ' this respect. | it is one of the worst traits of Ameri can character that slavish subjection to popular opinion or fashionable caprice is so E general. A respectiul consideration ol | others'judgement is only Christian cour tesy ; rejection of one's own well matured convictions out of deference to public sen timent is unmanly weakness. Society is • composed ot individuals each of whom is I entitled to whatever respect is justly due 1 to his learning, judgment, prudence and | character, it the recognized opinion of ' any community were really an aggregate of 1 ail the good sense of the individual mem : ' hers of that community, then one might ; hesitate long belore acting contrary to that ' public opinion. Hut it requires slight ob -1 servation to detect the real nature of con trolling public sentiment. In any town, , who gives direction to the current oi i thought and popular speech'' Not the : most cultivated, net the most noble and virtuous, not the most excellent, for these . are apt to be quiet and unassuming. I'ub lie sentiment, as it finds expression in com- : mon speech, is the. characteristic fruit of j a self elected aristocracy, skillful to sneer at whatever dees not coincide with their ! exalted views of propriety, ready to throw the mantle of charity over any popular ■ wrong and to pur contempt on anyunpop- ; ular effort to do good. This sounds rath- ' er harsh, but ju-t look around yuu and see if it is nut true. Who is most active in auv ; self-denying, poorly supporting philanthro- j py.' Vi ho exhibit uio.-t alacrity in doiuo 'he work to which tne holy voice of re ligion calls? The answer suggests itself. I It is not those who assume to be the re : spectable, exclusive an i superior humani ty—not at all. And yet these pretentious i people really determine the upper current of common, mob opinion. i, r e is a very weak man who bows his neck to bear every burden that popular sentiment imposes; he is only a voluntary slave, ail the more pitiable because of his wiling abjectness. A true man or woman is one who looks at objects with candor and care, then acts as good judgment dictates, and not according to the unreasonable j whims of public opinion. Not uecessari- ; ly in opposition to that opinion, but inde- ! pendently ol it. One cannot too careful ly remember that he is not supremely re sponsible to society, but to the Majesty of Heaven. I would have teachers impress upon their pupils this consciousness of their individual responsibility, and endeav or to form in them the habit ol doing right without fear of public opinion. MORAL & HEkGIOOI, Men of Principle. 1 he man ol principle needs not the re- i striction ol seal or signature, or any legal instrument. lie deals in solitude as in public, is as good as a bond, and his prom ise as sterling as gold. The complicated interests of men, which so often jar and | conflict, are reconciled in him with a beau tiful harmony, lie is himself the etubod- 1 iment ol justice, the symbol of perfect so ciety. His charities are not the droppings I ola formal pity, but the ointment of a yearning love. In his soul there is a foun tain of humor, and close by, a fountain of j tears. His spirit is an instrument strung to every proper mood, touched by the light j graces of the passing hour, or swept by 4 solemn thoughts that wander through j eternity.' How to Break Bad Habits. Evil habits though they sometimes be come apparently irresistible and incurable, auu lead many clever oien into speedy de struction, yet none ever become so power ful that they may not be corrected. Tiie firm and resolute determination is more than half of the battle gained. Here is the way to break off from pernicious prac- ! tices: I nderstand clearly the reasons, and 1 all the reasons why the habit is injurious. !' Study the subject till there is no lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid the places, the persons, the thoughte, fcoatiead to tempta- 1 tion. Frequent the places, associated with ; the persons, indulge the thoughts, that lead awav from the temptation. Keep busy— ' idleness is the strength of bad habits. Do not give up to the struggle when you have broken your resolution once, twice, ten times, a thousand times i hat only shows h w much need there i for you to strive. W lien you have broken your resolution, just tbink the matter over, and endeavor to understand why it was you failed, so that you may be upon your guard against a recurrence of the same circum stances. Do not think it a little or easy thing that you have undertaken. It is a folly to expect to break off a habit in a dav, which may have been gathering strength in vou for manv years. MH6E£MHHOgI The Two Brothers. The Count de Lingniville and Count de Autrieourt. twins, descended from an an cient lamily in Lorraine, resembled each other so much that when they put on the same kind of dress, which they did now and then for amusement, their servants could not distinguish the one from the oth er. 1 heir voice, gait, and deportment was the same, and these marks of resemblance were so perfect that they often threw their wives and friends into the greatest embar rassment. Being both captains of light horse, the one would put himself at the head of the other's squadron without the officers ever suspecting the change. Count A utrieourt having committed come crime, the I'ourit do Ligniville never suffered his brother to go out without accompanying him. and the lear of seizing the innocent for the guilty rendered the orders to arrest the former of no avail. One day Count de Ligniville sent lor a barber, and Laving suffered him to shave one half of his beard, he protended to have occasion to go into the next apartment and put his nightgown upon Lis brother, who was concealed there, and taking the cloth from alout his neck, he put it under the chin of his brother, and made him sit down in the place he had ju.-t quitted. The barber immediately re sumed his operation, and was proceeding to finish what lie had begun, as he supposed, ! but to his great astonishment he found i that a new beard had sprung up! Nut doubting that the person under his hands ; was the devil, he roared out with terror, and sank down in a swoon on the floor.—- W Hi Ist they were endeavoring to bring him to life. Count de Autrieuurt retired again into his closet, and Count de Ligniville, who was hall s!ia\ed, returned to his for mer place. This was a new case of sur prise to the poor barber, who now imagined that all lie saw was a dream, and he could ! not be convinced of the truth until be saw tne two brothers together. The sympathy that subsisted between the two brothers ; was no less singular than their resemblance. If one felt sick the other felt indisposed also; if one received a wound the other felt pain; and this was the case with every mis fortune that bofel them, so on this account they watched over each other's conduct with the greatest care and attention. But what is stiil more astonishing, they hoth had often the same dreams. The day the Count de Autrieourt was attacked in France by the fever of which lie died, the Count de Ligniville was attacked by the same in Bavaria, and was nearly sinking under it. Cherry Water. Everywhere in the northern cantons Iruit trees are standing like forests; and there is not only a brandy distillery in al most every commune, but also a cider mill. Pears are pressed fur their juice, and cher ries crushed to make what they call cher ry water. AY e one day saw a decanter up on a table filled with what we supposed to be water, as it was colorless, and we had never seen any stronger liquid without • some slight tiuge of yellow, red, or purple, j Being thirsty, we thought to help our selves. and took a generous draught, which in an instant had pervaded every drop of blood in our veins. It was cberrv waver, but it surely deserves a more significant appellation. It was made by crushing fresh cherries and pounding: as the juice is expressed from the grapes. They are then kept slightly warm till fermentation takes place, which sometimes happens the second and often not till the fourth week. The tub remains covered, and the pulp is stirred every two days. It can then re main a long time without injury, or be im mediately distilled like brandy. So long as it runs clear, it is of the right taste and ; consistency, but wbeu the liquid is thick, I it is put back into tbe still. To prevent its taking fire before it begins to boil it is stirred violently. Like good wine, it im proves with age. An imitation is some times made of plums, but can easily be de tected by mixing it with a few drops of water, when it locks murky, and if rubbed upon the hands has a different flavor.— i The Cottages of the Alps. Birds' Sense of Danger. The power of judging danger and the j free and easy boldness which results from | it are by no means uncommon. Many -birds seem to have a most correct notion 1 of a gun's range, and, whilst scrupulously careful to keep beyond it, confine their care to its caution, though the most obvi ous resource would be to fly quite away out of <ight and hearing, which thevdonot New Series—Vol, XV. No. 28. choose to do. And they sometimes ap pear to make even uii ostentatious use oi their power, fairly putting their wit and cleverness in antagonism to that of man, for the benefit of their follows. 1 lately read an account, bv a naturalist of Brazil, ol an expedition he made to one of tlm islands ol the Amazon, to shoot spoonbills, ibises, and other of the magnificent grallu torial birds which were most abundant there, ills design was completely balded, however, by a wretched little sandpiper that preceded him, continually uttering its ,l 'ft-Hio cry. winch at cnce aroused all the birds within hearing. Throughout tho day did this individual bird continue its self imposed duty of sentinel to others, ef fectually preventing the approach of the lowler to the game, and yet managing to keep out el the reach ol his gun. Th e-1!'-mauve of Statural History. Occupation cf Women in France. In 1-ranee women are permitted to to gage in many occupations which are per formed with us entirely by the male sex >he often acts as ticket dispenser at rail way .-t aions, as bookkeeper at hotels and as attendant on the heaped tables of the reading room. The watchmaker consigns to her deli cate touch the finer parts of his mechan ism. and the jeweler the setting ol his cost ly geuis. The wood engraver espccts his most delicate and tasteful cuts from her hands; and the picture dealer invites her to plant her easel in the Louvre of Luxem burg, to reproduce, as she well can, tho masterpieces of ancient or modern art. Nor is the mallet of the sculptor consid ered to disgrace the hands of a princess one of the noblest statues of modern times, representing Joan of Arc clasping the con secrated sword, being the production of a daughter of the late citizen king. The in dividual and social advantages which the honor that is thus paid to labor brines are incalculable. Pride is never permitted ti, interfere with usefulness; and manv a young woman, who would have been de barred, as with us, by its pernicious influ ence, from the honorable employment of her powers, is enabled, by the wiser and more merciful arrangements which obtain in France, to secure a virtuous and com fortable independence. A A ice Littb- C/torch Incident. —lg one of the Washington churches last Sunday a pretty occurrence took place. After service a young man who carries the collecting plate, as usal put his hand in his vest pock et to place upon it a piece of money before starting to collect. He drop ped as'he sup posed. a quarter on the plate, and without looking at it, paesed it around among ih.v; congregation. Instead of silver, however, lie had inadvertently placed a conversation lozenger in the centre of the rdate, and all were astonished at seeing the lozenger with the words staring them in the face, 'Will you marry mc ?' The }oung ladies proba bly thought this was an unusual mode of 'proposing ." but no doubt it was the sigh: of them that caused the mis-take. Jacob C.
