SMITH. County Superintendent. For the Educational Column. Daily Preparation of Teachers. Although vast improvement has born mafic within the last few years in our com mon i-elio is, yet we all agree that there is f-tiS! much mom for their further advance ment; that there are yt'f many obstacles io ill ■ complete success of our noble Penn -yivania Common School System. Many arc the hours which have been spent in theorizing u]• >i: the obstacles, their causes ami their remedies; and, in our opinion, t aehcrs have in many cases, been too free i i attributing the causes to the indifference and neglect of others. It is evident that a ivaiicenioiit or improvement in any par ticular must be leu by one individual or a body of individuals. In the improvement of common-school education, whose duty is it to take the lead? The teacher's ? It not. whose is it ? Should teachers, an masse, instead of only a few, make the ad v.mce and continue earnestly to strive and lihor until they had removed all the ob stacles which lie in their path ; if they should make themselves as nearly as jossi Me truly worthy of their noble vocation, they would find directors, parents and friends, as a general thing, actively second ing their efforts, and many present com plaints gradually dying away One of the greatest hindrances to the success of the labors of very many teach ers is a neglect to make daily preparation for their classes. Normal schools, teachers institutes and associations are different channels through which the teacher may seek improvement; but, best of all, he has a few hours each day to devote, it lie will, -n rgif. be field of his knowledge :!npro\iitg tin o - ipline of his mind, p .-riiuß • i hi tim • cannot be spent to •f" advai.: than in making special relation f. the coming recitations of nis respective classes. The greatest draw hack to the life of a school and the ad vancement of its members, is dull and mi interesting recitations; and how oft* n has the cause of such been attributed wholly to the pupils, when, had the teacher made a proper search for it, no insignificant por tion would have been found nearer home ! Mc have said that the greatest drawback to the life of a school and the advancement of its members, is dull and uninteresting recitations; to this we add that the princi pal cause of this obstacle is, the teacher's neglect to make special preparation for the recitation himself. How can we expect a class to be lively, interested and persever ing, when the teacher is dull, dry, perhaps under the necessity of making constant reference to the text-book during the reci tations, and without a previously selected store of explanations and illustrations for thft more difficult and important points ? If there is any teacher who is in the habit of thus,coming before his classes, let him give daily preparation a trial at least; let him have everything relating to the recita tions at his tongue's end, and he will not he long in noticing the happy effects which such a course will have on the class and, consequently, on the school; he will soon experience the increaaeof life, interest and animation among the schol ars, and their greater respect and obedience toward him. As the teacher is, so are his elaaae# irngggami as® gtgsaasmas air ®s®!E®ig imirßnra&aißa scffimiss S>A ! A neglect to make daily preparation lias been the principal cause of the total dis eouragement of many who have undcrta j ken to teach. Perhaps it would be wall to remark that wc shotild, when having made ourselves j thoroughly conversant with the recitation, ; be careful not to do too much of the tccit ing ourselves. I he teacher should not be satisfied with mastering one text hook on a particular subject; he should also seek the opinions of others and compare them with his own views arn.l experience. He will thus en large his sphere of thought and have at I command a more abundant supply with which to meet the wants of his classes. Some teachers may say that they are far in advance of their classes, or, that thev I need not make special preparation for the different, recitations. Such reasons we j think arc not sufficient. The memory needs to be q ickcned. Each review of I such a subject cannot lail to give one a more correct and thorough understanding of it. Since we cannot become perfect in j anything, there is still room fur l'uther iin ; provement in any branch we are attempt ing to teach, and the more thought we ' bestow upon it. the better do we compre hend it; and. consequently, we gain great j er command of the key. by which we may I unlock it< my tories to others. K. HSEG&MBOUS. j 7HE LAUGHTER IN LAW. Circi;sistar.ces alter Cases nv LUCY A. RANDALL j Mrs Tompkins' parlors were in apple pie order—not a speck of dust on the shining piano—not a stray shred on the velvet car j pet, not nn atom of ashes under the well j filled grate. For Mrs. Tompkins was one ! of those thrifty souls who keep up appear ; ances in spite of everything, and delight in handsomely furnished parlors, while the kitchen is stinted to the very closest degree : of parsimony. Fhe was flying about, shaking cut chnir j covers and arranging tfie little china orna ments on the mantel, was Mrs Tompkins,in . manner that betokened a considerable | amount of inward disturbances. There was a jerk to her eltow and a toss of her : head, which foreboded woe to somebody or other. '1 am clear out of patience ejaculated Mrs. Touikpins, at last. 'I don't believe there ever was a poor mortal half so bad gered as I am. with p. or relations! Why ! couldn't Harry have married a rich wife, while he was about it, instead of Mary Glenn, who wasn't worth a led cent only a governess at that? And now the poor dear boy is dead and gone, and left bis doll baby of a wife on my hands. 1 declare, its cnouth to make a woman crazy. Don : sec whv 1 should be obliged fa support her just because she happened to be my son's wife! Why cant she go to work and do something? Too much of a fine lady, 1 s'pose, with her white hands and long curls, and pink and white checks. Never brought up to Jo any cares about the house—can't wash dishes, nor make biscuit, nor do any thing useful. Fm tired of this sort of busi i ness.' And just as Mrs Tompkins made this emphatic assertion, the door softly swung : open, and a delicate girl of scarcely more than eighteen summers, glided in Her deep mourning-dress gave additional fairness to a complexion that was like snowy wax, shadowed with the softest rose-tint on cheek and lips, and the timid, fluttering glance of her dark eyes indicated her position de j pendent:. 'Can't I assist yo' about arranging the parlors, Mrs. Touipkins?' she faltered, as if uncertain how her offer might chance to be received. ' No, Mrs Tompkins, Junior, you cant!' said the old lady, with a toss of her cap border. ' I couldn't think ot allowing such a fine lad}' to soil her white fingers about my wori. Then—you needn't go to crying—l don't believe in people that have such very tender feelings !' • I did not intend to cry,' murmured poor Mary, ' hut indeed, I could not help it.' ' I tell you what, Mrs. Tompkins, Jun.' said the old lady, wrathfully, 'we may as well come to an understanding first as last. Zephaniah and nie aint rich—and we've a big family of our own, and now that poor, dear Henry, our elder boy, has been dead and gone a year,' here Mrs. Tompkins, mechanically, pulled out a red bordered pocket-handkerchief, and made a random dab at her eyes, 'I dont see that you have any very particular claim on us! So you'd better look out for a situation as governess or to do some plain sewing, or something, at soon as you can, for to speak my mind, you've been spongin' on us about long enough !' Mrs. Touipkins stopped, with her mouth shut together like a steel trap. Her daugh ter-in-law had grown very pale. ' And while I am about it,' continued the old lady, ' I may aa well any that Het ty don't like it because you insist on stay in' in the parlor every time Col. Redcliffe calla. He's worth a cool half million, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1862, /jepbaniah says, and if our Hetty makes a catch oi hini, why the family fortune's as good as made. Of course, when Hatty is Mrs. Col. lledcliffe, you won't expect her to notice you muc . —she tnay five you some sewin' to do once in awhile, but— My gracious! there's his carriage at the door this minute ! And he was here only yesterday. Biddy! run up and tell Miss Hetty to put on her pink dress, and take her curls out of the papers—Col. Redcliffe's at the door! You can sit in the kitchen while he's here. Mary, and peel the pota toes for dinner, if it isn't too common work for them lily fingers! Hetty don't want you pry in' round when her beau's here ! HUB —quick !' And as Mrs. I oinnkius, Jr., disappeared. Mrs. Tompkins, Sr., opened the door with a simpering smile. ' Dear me, Col. Hedcliffe, who'd have thought of seeing yon ? Do walk in we're highly honored, I'm sure!' Col. lledcliffe was a tall elegant looking man, whose wealth and station in society fully warranted the calm dignity with which he bowed to Mrs. Tompkins' adula tion. 'Take a seat on the sofa, Col.!' chatter ed Mrs. Tompkins. ' Won't you sit near er the fire? Not cold, eh ? Well, it ain't so freezing-like as it was yesterday, to be sure ! I hope you won't get impatient,' she giggled; ' Hctty'll be down in a min ute !' ' U'.4o will be down ?' inquired Col. Hed cliffe, looking up from the book lie was carelessly turning over, with some astonish tnent expressed in his fine features. ' Hetty—my daughter!' • I beg your pardon,' said the Col. quiet ly, 'there is some mistake here. I called to see your daughter-in-law, Mrs. Tomp kins r 'Harry's wife!' gasped the mamma in law. 'And, added Col. Hedcliffe, 'as you are the nearest relative and guardian at present, it may be well for me to mention to you that I intend making an offer of marriage. Her beauty and grace render her a fit wife for any man, and I ani proud to think that I have won her affections.— Of course I may reckon upou your sanc tion and approval!' ' Ye yes !' stuttered Mrs. Tompkins, who was completely taken aback by this sudden overthrow of ail her Aladdin visims con cerning her red haired daughter, Hetty.— However, even if Col. Hedcliffe'? partial establishment wasn't for 'daughter Hefty,' sti!! it was something to keep eo much wealth in the family. 'l'll call her,' said Hie. Lumidly, slip pin.: out the room, just in time to arrest the triumphant entry of 1! is* Hetty, with her curls ail in a quiver of hair oi! and cologne. 'Go back, Hetty!' she exclaimed in a stage whisper, • you're not the one that's wanted! It's Harry's wife!' And she shot down stairs as fast, as pos sible. ' Mary, dear !' she s ijd in the softest of tones, 'you're not peelin' potatoes ! Well, you always were so obliging ! Give me a kiss, love—l always did say Harry's wile was just like my own daughter! Now run up stairs into the parlor and see what Col. lledcliffe has to say to you !' Mrs. Harry Tompkins was uncertain at first whether her respectable mother in law was not a little demented. Never be fore had she listened to such solely affec tionate syllables from the old lady, and she went up stairs like one in a dream ! ' And when may I call you mine, dear est! was the parting question of Col. Hed cliffe, as he held that fair young widow to his heart. Poor Mary ! it was so long since she had heard the accents of love and kindness, and now to be chosen bride of one to whom the world looked in admiration —ah, it seemed too much happiness ! 'Hemcmber 1 shall not wait long !'lie added, caressingly smoothing down the jetty tresses. ' The sooner I fake you away from this vulgar and uncongenial atmos phere, the better!' ' Vulgar and uncongenial!' gasped Mrs. Tompkins, who was listening at the key hole ! ' Well, I never !' ' Mary, dear,' she said that evening, ' I shall be very sorry to lose you. Y'ou'veal ways been just like my own child, havn't you ? Come and kiss me, there's a love —and be sure you don't forget your poor dear ma-in-law, when you're married to Col. Hedcliffe! Hetty, come here and con gratulate your dear sister! I wouldn't have given you up to anybody else, but Col. lledcliffe is the man that deserves you !' Mary smiled quietly—she was of too gentle and forgiving nature to resent even the hypocricy of her mother-in-law —and in the bright future, opening before her, she had forgiveness for all. ' Harry*B wife is going to be married,' said Mrs. Tompkins to one of her gossips, soon after." ' What, that lazy, indolent, good-for nothing—' ' Ilush sh-sh !' cried the old lady, clap ping her haud over Mrs. Sykes' mouth. — ' That was all a mistake. She's a dear sweet love!' ' Oh !' said Mrs- Sykes, 'then I conclude she's going to marry rich !' 'Yes,' said Mrs. Tompkins coinplacent ly. 'lt will be such a trial to part with her V 1 And such is the weakness of poor hu man nature that the good old lady had ac tually believed what she said. Look on this Picture An untidy woman. Little soap and much perfume. Plenty of jewelry, and a lack of strings am" buttons. * Silks and la ces' and tattered underclothes. Diamond rings and soiled collar. Feathers and flow ers and battered cap-frill. Silk stockings and shabby boots. \\ ho lias not been her ? If you arc a person of courage, cuter her dressing-room. Make your way over the carpet through mis mated slippers, tippets, belt ribbons, hair pins, pictorials, magazines, fashion prints and unpaid bills, and look vainly round for a chair that issufficiently free from dust to sit down upon. Look at the din gy muslin window curtains, the questiona ble bedquilt and pillow cases, the unfresJi ncss of everything yeur eye falls upon.— Open the closet door and see the piles of dresses, ail wanting the ' stitch in time,' heaped pell mcll upon their pegs; see the bandboxes without covers, and all the hor rible paraphernalia of a lazy, inefficient, vacant, idealcss female monstrosity, who will of course be chosen out of a bevy of good, practical, common-sense giris, by sonic man who prides himself on his know ledge of women,' as his 'helpmate for life!' I use the word ' monstrosity' advisedly ; for even in the cell of a prison I have seen wretched females trying, with woman's beautiful instinct, to brighten and beauti fy the bare walls with some rude-colored print. 1 hank Heaven the untidy woman is the exception, not the rule. And on This I ou sec this lady, turning a cold eye to the assurances of shopmen, and the recom mendation of milliners—she cares not how original a pattern may be, if it he ugly, or how recent a shape, if be awkward ; what ever law's fashion dictates, she follows a law of her own. and is never behind it; she wears beautiful things, which people gen erally suppose to be fetched from Pari", or made there, not that her costume is eith er rich or new: on the contrary, she wears many a cheap dress, hut it is pretty ; and many tin old one. hut it is good; she deals in no gaudy confusion ot colors, nor does she affect a studied sobriety ; hut she either refreshes you with a spirited contrast or composes you with a judicious harmony; not a scrap of ttnscl or trumpery appears upon her; she pots no faith in velvet hand- or gilt buttons or twisted cording : she is quite aware, however, that the t-arnish is as important as the dre?; all her inner borders slid I eadnigs are <1- licateand fresh, and should anything peep out which is not ntciiiicd to he seen, it is unite as much so as that which is. After ao, there is no great art either in her fashion or material; the secret simply consists in her honoring the three great unities of dress—her own station—her own eye—and her own points—and no woman can dress well who does not. A iter this, we need not say that whoev or i* attracted by the costume will not be disappointed in the wearer; she may not be handsome or accomplished, hut we will answer for her being eventempercd well in formed, thoroughly sensible, and a complete lady. An Aged Citizen Gone- Bartholomew Davis, aged 86 years, died at the residence of his son, John Davis, in Shirley Township, on the 31st ult. The deceased was a son of old Bartholomew Da vis. H trader with the Indians at the time the first white settlers came to this region of country. When, and from whence he came, we are unabled to traoe, but have it through tradition, that the Indians were friendly to him, while at the same time they warred to the knife against the white set tlers, committing the most atrocious massa cres imaginable. A narrative of an adven ture by a party from this place (then Fort Shirley) against their Savage foes, 105 years ago, under the caption of' A Kelic of the past,' is given ou the first page of this paper, and we doubt not will be interesting to our local readers; especially to those who feel an interest in the history of the early settlement of this region. Old Indian frader' Davis (by which name he was famil iarly known) tradition bas it, first lived on the Juniata, about where Bell's Mill now stands; but subsequently on its bank about a mile above the mouth of Aughwick, where it joins the Juniata. lie lived, died, and was buried within the limits of then Shirley Township; and what is somewhat singular, Bartholomew the younger, was born, reared, lived, died, and was buried within the aanie bounds, then Shirley Township, though since it is in part attached to Cromwell Township. They both lie in the same (Cluggage'a) graveyard, the younger dying at 86 years old. The age of the older Davis is iot known; but when he was very old, the writer (senior Editor) yet retains a faint recollection ot him, formed in his childhood; seeing him frequently while liv ing. The deceased leaves a surviving wid ow, who is aged and infirm, besides children, grand and great grand children, many of whom reside in the neighborhood of the vil lage. It is noteworthy to state that Shir leysburg was the location of Fort Shirley, alluded to in (lie narrative on the first patre, and b ort Littleton, Frankstown and Kit tanning are the places yet known by those names. The Right Sort of Talk The following extracts from nn article in the New York Journal of Commerce, contain the right sort of talk for the times. Alter stating the facts in the Mason and Slide!! case, it says: We now appeal to Englishmen in Amer ica to write the fact to their acquaintances in England. We call on Englishmen at home, to notice that the American people have exhibited in this whole matter a calm ness which should put to shame the blus ter and braggadocia, the scorn and insolence which have characterized the English press. We further direct their attention to the fact that, while the American press and the nation have unanimously approved of die capture of Mason and Slidell, and jus tified the Government in holding them, the nation acquiesces calmly and cheer fully in the surrender of these men ; and the Administration .s to day uninfluenced by any popular clamor, or by the well known voice of public opinion. If England be told, and believes, that the American people have desire for war, but on the contrary, that we most earnest ly wish for peace, it may be the present cloud will blow over, and we shall see no collision of arms. But this correspondence, and the giving up of Mason and Slidell to the demand of the British Government does not end the matter. If England is not led to revise and amend her course to ward us, we shall inevitably drift into war within six months, unless the tone of feel ing be materially changed. Let us work to avoid this. Let England be informed, by private letters, if she cannot be inform ed by her press and their correspondents, that the American people are united in one grand work ; that to accomplish this work they have already submitted quietly to the loss of immunities under their owu Con stitution, which, in ordinary times, would have revolutionized England or this coun try ; that there was never since we were a nation, a period when the people were so united in the supportof their Government, even to the extent of permitting it to en croachon theirown private rightsas never be fore; that if, instead of giving up Mason and Slidell, the Government had told us to prepare for war, we would have prepared for it with alacrity and with resources which would have apalled England, and with results that would have left the nine teenth century the bloodiest in the roll of ] lr.s neutrality, which the Government oi hnL'iand has assumed to occupy, must he rigidly observed. We have never ask ed lor anything but a strict observance of it. How far our Government will see fit to demand explanations of the Trent ease we are not informed. Hut the English people must be prepared to obey the neu trality laws to which they have appealed, and their press must suddenly and abso lutely forget their sympathy for the South, which, in the late embroglio, they have foolishly unveiled to our gaze, or, so surely as the Spring approaches, we will be grasp ing each other's throats. If that gr.sp once becomes fixed, we do not need the gift of foresight to prophesy that it will not he loosed by either party till England is no longer a Monarchy, or America no longer a Republic. Our Own Faults. Let us not be over curious about the fail ings of others, but take account of our own ; let us bear in mind the excellencies of oth er men, while we reckon upouro.-n faults, for then shall we be wellpleasing to God. For be who looks at the faults of others, and at his own excellencies, is injured in two ways; by the latter he is carried up to arrogance, through the former he falls in to listlessness. For when he perceives that such a one hath sinned, very easily he will sin himself; when he perceives he hath in aught excelled, very easily ho be conieth arrogant. He who consigns to ob livion his own excellencies, and looks at his failing only, while he is a curious en gineer of the excellencies, and not the sins of others, is profitable in many ways.— And how ? 1 will tell you. When be sees that such an one hatli done excellent ly, he is raised to emulate the same; when he sees that he himself hath sinned, he is rendered humble and modest. If we act thus, regulate ourselves, we sliali be able to obtain the good things which we are prom ised through the loving kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ. — St. Chrj/soslom. remarkable suicide has taken place at Naples. A Mr. Kenrick, an elder ly married gentleman, appears to have formed a liaison with a Miss Gray, a young and pretty Englishwoman, with whom he has been living at Rome and at Naples.— It appears that Mr. Kenrick's relatives in England, who are wealthy, paid no heed, under the circumstances, to his applications for remittances, and that the two thereupon resolved on suicide. From what subse quently transpired, it seems they must have gone directly to the public gardens of the Villa Reale, on the seashore, where, the cafe being open, they took a glass of rum or rosolio. They then climbed over the low wall of the villa, where a semi-circular New Series— Vol. XVI, No. 12 space overlooking the sea is furnished with stone seats, and descended on the beach, where Miss 11rnv tied her dress round her ankles, and tilled it from the waist with sand. Mr. lvenrick effecting the same pur pose by tilling the bosoiu of his shirt, his waistcoat, arid coat sleeves with sand and stones, Miss Gray supplying the necessary strings and tapes from her own dies- They then tied themselves together round the waist with their pocket handkerchiefs, and deliberately lay down to die in the sea which at that point i.s not more than two or three feet deep. They had the resolu tion to endure suffocation, and their corpses were seen in the water next morning at daybreak by a fisherman. Mr. Kenriek's life was insured for <£3,000, which his heirs lose from the fact of his having com mitted suicide. Asa?"

Very few of our farmers seem to be aware of the great loss they sustain annu ally, from the growth ot weeds of one kind or another, with which quite too many of our farms are ovarrun. The late Sir John Sinclair made some experiments on this subjeet, the results of which we annex, and which are worthy the consideration of all cultivators who have failed themselves to discover to how great an extent their crops are lessened by weeds : " 1. Seven acres of light gravelly land were fallowed and sown broadcast; one acre was measured off, and not a weed was pull ed out of it; the other six wore carefully weeded. The uriweeded acre produced 1* bushels; the six weeded acres 135 bushels, or 22i per acre, which is 4£ bushels, or tine-fourth more produce in favor of weed ing. 2. A six acre field was sown with barley, in fiue tilth and well manured.— flie weeding, owing to a great abundance of charlock, cost 12s. per acre. The pro duce of an unweeded acre was only 13 bushels ;of the weeded, 28. Difference in favor of weeding, 15 bushels per acre, he side the land being so much cleaner for succeeding crops. 3. Six acres sown with oats ; one acre plowed but once, and un manured, produced only 17 bushels. An other six acres, plowed three times, man ured and weeded, produced 37 bushels. This experiment proves that oats require good management, and will pay for it as well as other crops. Ten bushels of the increased produce may be fairly attributed to the weeding, and the other ten to the manure."
