Two Hints to Teachers.
1. OH Optnimj Exercises.— lt is cus
tomary in about nine tenths of the schools
(f the county, for the teacher, either alone
or accompanied by the scholars, to read a
chapter in the Bible. This practice is al
together commendable, and it would be
gi atilying if it were adopted in every school.
However, there arc different modes of con
ducting this exercise, some of which seem
to nic unwise and really useless. To the
majority of scholars, the close reasonings
of Paul's Epistles are not very useful or
edifying, because their profound character
places them beyond the comprehension of
children, not to say of very many persons
of mature years.
I think the teacher should use his best
judgment in this matter, and have the
scholars read only such portions of Scrip
ture as are, in the main, easily understood,
and from which rules or suggestions for
their conduct can readily be derived. In
order to render this exercise properly use
ful, it seems Lest for the teacher to call the
attention of his pupils to the lesson taught
in the Scripture read, ar.d to make a brief,
pointed application of it to the incidents of
every-day occurrence in the schoolroom,
and in the intercourse of children and
youth with the world. It is well to shun
these two extremes : first, going through
the exercise as a mere form, of no real use
or interest j and second, regarding a!! parts
of the Bible equally profitable for the in
struction of the young, and therefore refu
sing or neglecting to use one's good judg
ment in the matter.
J n some schools the teacher is wont to
follow the Scripture reading with prayer,
and this also is entirely commendable, if
it be done in the right spirit and manner.
01 course, prayer in a schoolroom is essen
tially the same as prayer in any other
place, and one spirit should characterize it
everywhere—a spirit of thankfulness, hu
mility, penitence, and trust; but the form
and extent ola prayer should be deter
mined, in u great, degree, by the place and
circumstances. It should be appropriate,
should have direct reletence to the persons
for whom it is offered. So in the school
room, it seen s fitting that a prayer be brief;
simple, so that pupils may intelligently
though silently join in it; utterly truthful,
so that they may feel that in this exercise
their teacher is thoroughly sincere, free
from the slightest taint of hypocrisy.
The singing of two or three verses of a
hymn is very salutary in its influence, and
should be practised whenever possible, the
teacher selecting such hymns as his pupils
can understand and sing with healthful
zest.
These opening exercises, or any one or
two of them, need consume but little time,
if rightly conducted ; and their influence
upon both teacher aud pupils cannot fail to
be highly, beneficial, to fit all for a more
hearty and successful performance of the
day's duties, and for greater delight in
them.
2. The Teacher's Manner before his
Pupils. —If a teacher can succeed in giv
ing his pupils these two distinct impres
sions,—that he is certainly master in the
schoolroom, and that he is a genuine man,
—he has gained the victory; if he fails in
either of these respects, he is hopelessly
deleated from the start.
It is absolutely necessary that a teacher
be, and feel himself, sure of success in es
tablishing and preserving good order, in
carrying into effect whatever regulations he
deems requisite to the highest prosperity
of the school. Let him give the subject
of school government und management so
much and so careful previous study, that
he may be prepared for all kinds of emer
gencies, ready to meet any perplexity, sure
that he knows what to do next. Let his
manner be such that scholars shall instinct
ively kpow him as their master, as one not
to be trifled with, as one who fully knows
what he is about aad what ho intends to
have them do —in a woid, as master of the
situation.
But when this wholesome impres-ion has
been produced, let the teacher not fail to
show himself thoroughly' a man, in ability
and desire to instruct, in hearty interest in
the progress and joy of his pupils, in sym
pathy with them in the trials of their pa
tience, their little troubles and (Jelights. —
Let him show that while he has a slrong
hand to restrain, he has a willing hand to
assist; while his eye is sharp to detect
wroug-doing, he is quick to see diligence,
obedience, and generous conduct; while
he can use sternest tones in reproof of
malice or meanness, his voice has most en
couraging tones for the faithful and merit
orious. In fine, let the teacher seek to
show his pupils the style and character of
a manly man. S-

SATDRAI, HlirOßt
The Flying Foxes of Ceylon.
| There are more singular inhabitants of
Ceylon trees than monkeys. The flying fox
es hang from them like fruit. The flight of
these creatures is directed by means of a
membrane attached to the inner-side of
| each of the hind legs, and kept distended
I at the lower extremity by a projecting bone,
just as a fore and-aft sail is distended by
a "gaff. "Over the entire surface of the
thin membrane of which they are formed,
sentient nerves of the utmost delicacy are
distributed, by means of which the ani
mal is enabled during the darkness to di
rect its motions with security, avoiding ob
jects against contact with which, at such
times, its sight and other senses would be
insufficient to protect it." By day they
suspend themselves from the highest branch
es of the silk cotton trees, hanging by
the claws of the hind legs, with the°head
turned upward, and pressing the chin a
gainst the breast. At sunset, taking wing,
they hover, with a murmuring sound, occa
sioned by the beating of their broad mem
braneous wings, around the fruit trees, on
which they feed till morning, when they re
sume their pensile attitude as before.
J hey hang in such prodigious numbers,
that the branches often give way beneath
their accumulated weight. They fly in
clouds as thick as bees or midges.
"When at rest or asleep, the disposition of
the limbs of the flying fox is most curious.
At such times, it suspends itself by one
foot only, bringing the other close to its
side, and thus it is enabled to wrap itself
in the ample fold of its wings, which envel
op it like a mantle, leaving only its up
turned head uncovered. Its fur is thus
protected from damp and rain, and to some
extent its body is sheltered from the sun.
As it collects its food by means of its
mouth, either when on the wing or when
suspended within reach of it, the flying
fox is always more or less liable to have
the spoil wrested from it by its intrusive
companions be ore it can make good its
way to some secure retroat in which to
devour it unmolested. In such conflicts
they bite viciously, tear each other with their
teeth, and scream incessantly till, taking
to flight, the persecuted one reaches some
place of safety, where he hangs by one
foot, and grasping the fruit he has secured
in the claws and opposable thumb of the
other, he hastily reduces it to lumps, witli
which he stuffs his check pouches till they
become distended like those of a monkey; '
then suspended in safety he commences to !
chew and suck the juices, rejectinf the :
refuse with his tongue.
Curiosities of Nature.
Among the papers published in costly
style by the Smithsonian Institute at
\\ ashington, is one on the microscopic
plants and animals which live on and in
the human body. It describes quite a
number of insects. The animal, which
produces the disease called itch, is illustra
ted by an engraving halt an inch in diam
eter, which shows not only the ugly little
fellow's body and legs, but his very toes,
although the animal himself is entirely
invisible to the naked eye. When Lieu
tenant Berryman was sounding the ocean,
preparatory to laying the Atlantic Tele
graph, the quill at the end of the sound
ing line bronght up mud, which on being
dried, became a powder so fine that on
rubbing it between the thumb and finger,
it disappeared in crevices of the skin. "On
placing the dust under the microscope, it
was discovered to consist of millions of
perfect shells, each of which had a living
animal.
By the President of the United States pf
America:
A PROCLAMATION.
I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the Uni
ted States, and Commander in-Chief of the
army and navy thereof, do hereby proclaim
and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the
war will be prosecuted for the object of prac
tically restoring the constitutional relations
between the United States and each of the
States and the people thereof, in which States
that relation is or may be suspended or dis
turbed.
That it is my purpose, upon the next meet
ing ef Congress, to again recommend the
adoption of a practical measure, tendering
pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejec
tion of all the slave States, so called, the peo
ple whereof may not then be in rebellion
against the United States, and which States
may then have voluntarily adopted, or there
after may voluntarily adont, the immediate
or gradual abolishment of slavery within their
respective limits; and th■)t the effort to col
onise persops of African descent, with their
consent, upon this continent or elsewhere,
with the previously obtained consent of the
Governments existing thare, will be contin
ued.
That on the Ist day of January, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within
any State, or designated part of a State, the
people whereof shall then be in rebellion
against the United States, shall be then,
thenceforward and forever free ; and the Ex
ecutive Government of the United States, in
cluding the military and naval authorities
thereof, will recoghize and maintain the free
dom of such persons.; and will do no act or
acts to repress such persons, or any of them,
freodT Cff ° rtS thCy may mak ° for their actual
That the Executive will, on the first day of
, n " ar y by proclamation, designate
the States or parts of States, if any, in which
the people thereof respectively shall then be
in rebellion against the United States; and
the fact that any State, or the people thereof
shall, on that day, be in good faith represont
; ed in the Congress of the United States by
members chosen thereto at elections, wherein
a majority of the qualified voters of such
State shall have participated, shall, in the
, absence of strong, countervailing testimony,
be deemed conclusive evidence that such State
and the people thereof are not then in rebel
lion against the United States.
That attention is hereby calLd to an act of
Congress entitled "An Act to make an addi
tional Article of War," approved March 13th,
180_, and which act is in the words and fig
ures following:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Amer
ica in Congress assembled. That hereafter the
following shall be promulgated as an addition
al article of war for the government of the
army of the United States, and shall be ob
served as such:
"ARTICLE —. All officers or persons in the
military or naval service of the United States
are prohibited from employing any of the
forces of their respective commands for the
purpose of returning fugitives from service
or labor who may have escaped from any !
persons to whom such service or labor is
claimed to be due ; and any officer who shall
be found guilty by a court martial of viola
tion of this article shall be dismissed from the
service.
"SEC. 2d. And be it further enacted, That
this act shall take effect from and after its
passage."
Also, to the 9th and 10th sections of an
act entitled "An act to suppress insurrection,
to punish treason and rebellion, to seize and
confiscate the property of rebels, and for oth
er purposes," approved July 17th, 1862, and
which sections are in the words and figures
following: °
"SEC. 9. And be it further enacted. That
all slaves of persons who shall hereafter be
engaged in rebellion against the Government
of the United States, or who shall in any way
give aid or comfort thereto, and escaping
from such persons and taking refuge within
the lines of the army, and all slaves captured
from such persons, or deserted by them, and
coming under the control of the Government
of the United States, and all slaves of 6uch
persons found on or being within any place
occupied by rebel forcos, and afterwards oc
cupied by the forces of the United States,
shall be deemed captives of war, and shall be
forever free of their servitude, and not again
held as slaves.
"SEC. 10. And be it further enacted. That
no slave escaping into any State, Territory,
or the District of Columbia, from any other
State, shall be delivered up or in any way
impeded or hindered of his liberty, except
for crime or some offenco against the laws
unless the person claiming the said fugitive
shall first make oath th t the person to whom
the labor or service of such fugitive is alleged
to be due is his lawful owner, and has not
borne arms against the United States in the
present rebellion, nor in any way given aid
or comfort thereto."
No person engaged in the military or na
val service of the United States shall, under
any pretence whatsoever, assume to decide on
the validity of the claim of any person to the
service or labor of any other person, or sur
render up any such person to the claimant,
on pain of being dismissed from the service.
And I do hereby enjoin upon and order all
persons engaged in the military and naval
service of the United States to observe, obey,
and enforce, within their respective spheres
of serviee, the acts and sections above recited.
And the Executive will, in due time, recom
mend that all the citizens of the United
States, who shall have remained loyal thereto
throughout the rebellion, shall, upon the res
toration of the constitutional relations be
tween the United States and the people, if
that relation shall have been suspended or
disturbed, be compensated for all losses by
acts of the United States, including the loss
of slaves.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this the
22d day of September, in the year of our

T . , Large Armies,
lhe following lacts, culled from the
fields of ancient story, may be of some in
terost at the present time :
I ho city of Thebes had a hundred gates,
and oould send out at each gate 10,000
fighting men and 20,000 chariots.
The army ofTrerah, King of Ethiopia,
consisted of 1,000 000 men and 300 char
iots of war.
Sesostris, King of Egypt, led against hi*
enemies 600,000 men, 24,000 cavalry, and
26 soytbe-armed ohariots, 1491 B. C.
Haniilcar went from Carthage and lan
ded near Palermo. lie had a'fleet of 2,-
000 ships and 3,000 small vessels, and a
land foroe of 300,000 men. At tha bat
tle in which ho was defeatod, 150,000
were slain.
A Roman fleet led by Regulus against
Carthuge, consisted of 830 vessels, with
140,000 men. Tho Cartbagenian fleet
numbered 350 vessels, with 150,000 men.
At the battle of Cannat, there were of
the Romans, including allies, SO,OOO foot
and 6,000 horse; ofHhe Carthagenians,
40,000 foot and 10,000 horse. Of these,
70,000 were slain in all, and 10,000 taken
prisoners; more than half slain.
Hannibal, during his campaign in Italy
and Spain, plundered 400 towns and des
troyed 300,000 men.
Ninus, the Assyrian king, about 2,200
years B. C., led against the Bactrians his
army, consisting of 1,700,000 foot, 200,-
000 horse and 16,000 chariots, armed with
scythes.
Italy, a little before Hannibal's time,
was able to sond into the field nearly 1,-
000,000 men.
Semiramis employed 2,000,000 men in
building the mighty Babylon. She took
100,000 Indian prisoners at the Indus, and
sunk 1,000 bodts.
Sennacherib lost in a single night 185,-
000 men by the destroying angel—2
19; 35 37.
A short time after the taking of Baby
lon, the forces of Cyrus conissted of 600,-
000 foot, 120,000 horse, and 2,000 chari
ots armed with scythes.
An army of Cambyses, 50,000 strong,
was buried up in the desert sands of Africa
by a south wind.
When Xerxes arrived atThcrmopyle, his
land and sta forces amounted to 2,641,610
men, exculsive of servants, eunuchs, wo
men, sutlers, Ac., in all numbering 5,283,-
320. So say Herodotus, Plutarch, and
Isoerates.
The army of Artaxerses, before the bat
tle Cunaxa, amounted to about 1,200,000.
Ten thousand horses and 100,000 foot
fell on the fatal field of Ilsus.
When Jerusalem was taken by Titus, 1,-
100,000 perished in various ways.
The force of Darius at Arbella number
ed more than 1,000,000. The Persians
lost 90,000 men in this battle. Alexander
about 500. So says Diodorus. Arian says
the Persians, in this battle, lost 300,000 ;
the Greeks 1,200.
A Soldier's JVift Objecting to an Ex
change.—A private of the Twentieth Mas
sachusetts regiment was taken prisoner at
Ball's Bluft last fall, and confined at Salis
bury, North Carolina. Some weeks since
a friend called upon his wife with the assu
rance that her husbrnd would probably be
exchanged for a rebel then in our hands.
"I won't have him," cried the woman in
alarm ; "I love Tom, and I won't have him
exchanged; I don't want a rebel husband."
The friend corrected the poor woman's mis
apprehension ; the absent husband was
finally released, and she learned that for
once "exchange was no robbery."
"State of Matrimony" has at
last been bounded and described by some
Western student, who says: It is bounded
by hugging und kissiDg on one side, and
cradles and babies on the other side. Its
chief productions are population, broom
sticks, and staying out late o'nights. It
was discovered by Adam and Eve, while
trying to find a northwest passage out of
Paradise. The climate is sultry till you
pass the tropics of house-keeping, when
squally weather sets in with such power as
to keep all hands as cool as cucumbers, —
For the principal road leading to this inter
esting State, consult the first pair of blue
eyes you meet.
Preferring Drowning to Going to
School—A curious case of suicide occurred
at Niagara Falls a few days since. A
little boy named Armstrong, aged nine
years, was averse to attending school. His
parents ordered him to go to school with an
elder brother, but he steadily refused, and
while his brother was trying to compel him
to go, he stated that if he was compelled
to go to school he would jump into the ca
nal and drown himself. Suiting the action
to the word, he started on a run to the ca
nal, and before he could be caught, plunged
in and was drowned.

She let a man, who had a cart,
Take nearly all away!
I wish this war was ended,
Ar.d father was at home—
Then ma, I'm sure, would smile again!
O, when will father come?
LQ 31N—'There's a Song the Angels Sing.'
There's a song the angels sing,
And its notes with rapture ring
Round the throne whose radiance fills the heavens
above;
Shepherds heard the distant strain,
Watching on Judea's plain:
Glory be to God, to men be peace and love.'
Cno*rs.—' Through the earth and through the sky
Bet the anthem ever fly,
'Glory be to God again!
Peace on earth, good will to men!'
'Tis a song for children too,
To their Savior 'tis their due;
Let its grateful notes ascend to him again;
Join with angels in their song,
And the heavenly strain prolong,
' Glory be to God, good will and peace to men.'
Through the earth, Ac.
Soon around thai throne may wo
With those happy angels he,
Striking harps to strains that never moro shall cease ;
Jiingling love with loftiest praise,
Still the chorus there We'll raise,
■ Glory be to God, to men good will and peace.'
Through the earth, Ac.
