/ Often in my dreams at night-time--
'ln my reveries in the " "
While I work with busy fingers . •
At my sewing, memory lingers
At the threshold, calling fannies—
Calling up the forms Mid faces
Of those smiling, happy children,
That wouldrvrait for me at school-time;
And with open anis would meet me!
Then with loving kisies greet-me!
With their beaming eyes upon sate,
They wOuld tell how well they loved me!
I shall nc'e.r forget those faces!
In mi• heart, their youthful graces
Are - :forever mirrored there!
Often in my midnight dreaming
COVlCS . thit . tioop of laughing children,
And surrounds me as of yore. • •
How they throng met how they press ma!
How' - with genticloree'ciiress Me!
• Alien in triumph •
Lead use to the school-room door.
I see them now: the gracelbi flitting!
And hear their merry voices, flinging
Echoes back from Wood and grove ;
While, anon, their glad notes trilling,
Every nook and valley filling
With their joyous melody.
And I hear again the humming
Of the lessons they are conning,
With such cheerful industry.
I will tell you what their names are,
- If you'll listen, modest stranger :
There were gentle "Kate," and "Carrie,"
And "Ella," sprightly as a fairy;
Bright "Amy Bell," and "Alice 7 gay,
And trusting "Eva," sweet as May;
Fair " Ida," with the look serene,
And "Martha," peerlesss:a a rpieen.
Modest " Lettie," too, and "Adah,"
With the meek and quiet "Sarah."
And tripping e'er the greensward lightly,
"Bell" and " Lucy," blushing;;brightly!
Now, half shyly—half demurely—
Comes " Annettie" with sweet Flora. •
Charming " Maggie," too, is there—
" Maggie " with the soft brown hair ;
And with a smile, so glad and winning,
Noble " Fannie" greets my coming!
" Chattie," with the modest - mien,
And cheerful " Connie "—ever seen
With the sunshine -on her brow!
Bat where is "Jessie r—where is Mary?
Did their infant feet.grow weary
Of life's pilgrimage so soon?
]es, they're sleeping iu the valley!
;For the Saviour called them early,
Ere they felt sin's withering blight.
They were winning, lovely children!
And I trust that 1 shall meet them
. In that land of fadeless light!
• •RI ♦ • • •
Theo I had a group of maidens
Rivalling those in ancient fables,
Sung by bardti of heathen lore—
Modest, lorely and respectful,
Of their dutiFa ne'er forgetful,
I shall sce.their hke no more
In the schoolhouse by the brooks:We,
Where delighted boys, at noontide, '
Waded in its Waters cool,
Came to me those youths and maidens,
With an earnestness that gladdens
Even now ay lonely hours.
Noble youths, of mauly bearing,
Kindnciy, iu their faces wearing, •
Gathered in the old brown schoolhousti p
Where of yore their sires had gatheredl
tiat ulvih the va ry
, benches—
Whittled at the! same old notches
Their progenitors indented
With their jack-knives years 'before.
Every generation whittled
'At the luckless desk before Win,
Till, at length, the board, was severed .
Iu sundry, shapeless pieces!
(eidge not, blame not, too 624 - Creb,
These were soils of I . :mt . :cc fathers!)
Then they Ludt a petty cottagi
In a grove :wrens the wayside;
; And invited lie to enter,
At Vic heralding of winter.
And one bright November morning,
While o gems the trees adorning,
Pendent hung from leaf and bough,
Troupr. of merry, laughing children,
And a men: e 'of yMiths and maidens,
1-sued from the old brown schoolhouse
To the 1.-d one Weir the way.
Then what bright and joyous faces!
As they gathered in their places
•
In that new and pleasant cottage,
Nettled 'math the waxing branches •
Of a vagrant hickory grove.
I could tell you of their-patience—
t &lir industry and neatness ;
How they kept the shining counters _
Free from mark, or stain, or notches.
Ilad you time to hear my story,
I could kill you more about them—
I could call them all by name.
But if you would know them better,
Yoti should see them all together—
You should see theM as they were.

In a pilot, sheltered valley
(Sheltered from the, blasts of winter
By two rugged mountain ranges),
Stretching north from clank Troy:—
Near the village of the Wilsons—
In the district of the Hanleye,
-Of the Thomases and Freemans,
Yon may find them, ;on may see them—
You may see theid'as they are!
For it aaddens me 'Jo tell you,
They nre little ones no longer
While my yniiths and maidens lovely
Have to men and matrons grown! (?)
'And to-day may iscarca renicaihcr
Scenes my memory loves to cherish
With a tenderness so yearning !
Fenhis and faces of my loved ones,

WHAT SHALL WE 110-?
Rend at Teachers Asauccation held at French
teen, Sept. 9 and 10, 1870, by Lrrue C. TAY,
wit, or soiue.
The human mind has been com
pared to a farther's storehouse, where
each thought, or class of thoughts,
are gthered together, and like the
various grains, are carefully arranged
in differe - nt 'compaitments, where
they are to remain till the seed-time'
comes, when "idle broad fields shall
call for the, :‘,,-)iolden groin" and the
" sower shalt,go forth to sow4_
Iu peering into the out-of-the-way
corners of my.mind, I found a hand
ful of grain coVered by the dust and
cobwebs which time had, left, and I

eon. X will present for your; ;enter:
tab:mien t' a dice off from the teacher's
loaf, which , has its , pecpliarrilidi 4d
differs in many respecti from other
loaves. ' „ _ ,
First, let us examine more.•closely
what ingredients are necessary to'
make this substantial loaf. A gek
den grain," or one ingredient, is coin : .
posed of the daily experience hi a
teacher's life, and thus we will pro- :
coed till: we find perhaps ether grains
which will help to complete this loaf:
The teacher's life what is it? Is it
a fife of . continued Oeinstgo epee,
where nothing &wars to the
even tenor
,of the. positiori;for eVcai,
to injure the leelings of the sensitive
teacher? - •
It is so considered by many.' -They
say, Well, what lazy , lives the teach
ers lead! they are compelled-to work
only six hours, a 'day, and all the rest
of the time they have to 'themselves.
After' school they have the pleasure
of taking an Agreeable walk to HOMO
worthy residence, where they enjoy
so bountifully the rich repast placed
before them; they also' have the ex
quisite pleasure of sitting in-the best
room, and of 'oecupying the best bed.
Of course, heil, easy it must be - to
visit from honle to house, having
nothing in particular to care for,.
nothing to worry about, nothing but
to sit down amidst.-.the smiles and
kind hospitalitieof the worthy pat
rons.
This may all seem very true and
agreeable to those who do not know
by actual experience. Now let us
look a little into a teacher's life—the
first day's experience, for instance.
The earnest teacher leaves home with
feelings better imagined than express
ed—feelings that none can know but
those that try the realities of teach
, L s ,
,
They are aware that a -great res
ponsibility is resting upon them. As
they go forth daily dispensing know
ledge, also of stamping those great
features of intelligence and moral dig- .
nity on those tender minds in such a
manner as shall prove pleasing as
well as lasting.
The true teacher is early at the
post of duty,, where perhaps fifty or
more different pupils have -Aready
assembled, enjoying their sports.
Suddenly_ they discover the teacher
coming, and quietness nod reigns su
preme. All eyes are turned to the
new instructress, eagerly watching
every look and motion. '
The teacher at once is reminded of
the responsibility of the position oc
cupied, and thus , the first care Com
mences.
The day is passed and the hoer for
dismissing . has come; then -she be
gins to realize the pleasures of beard
ing aruunsl, and wonders where she
will be invited to tarry during the
night. The pupils pass out one by
one till all are gone, not once think
ing, perhaps, but what she has a home
of her own to which she may resort.
No one has given her a friendly
invitation to go home. with' them.
She despairs and discouraOngly Says,.
" I have failed in making a pleasing
impression to-day; here I-Am left all
alone."_ The tears begin to-fall, when
one little girl comes running in. "Now
she has come to invite me -home with .
her "—but alas! 'she has only come
for her dinner-basket. After awhile,
' with weary brain and body, she dons
her "sundown," leaves the
_school
room, going shill hardly knows whith
er, till she finds herself, approaching
a tine-lookinvesidence, and she van
' tires to call.
The lady speaks coolly: "1-, sup
pose this to be our teacher. I would
be glad to see you at almost any oth=
er time, but I am cleaning house
now, and would prefer you to come
next week. Go to the nest house
and they, I think, will keep you."
With a new pang sent to the heart
already full to bursting , she leaves
for the place directed. After a walk
of a few minutes, arrives. The lady
has been washing; and several little
children cluster around her, seeming
ly frightened to see a stranger. She
says, " I am not prepared for com
pany, 'having had an extra amount Of
woe t o; besides, my little babe
i ell, and has hindered me with;
my wor She' then for'lhe first
time looks at the despairing faee of
the teacher, and her heart is moved'
with sympathy. "You may stay if
you are willing to put up with all in
conveniences. It will not be very
' pleasant, but I wilrtry and do the.
best I can; we are glad to see you,
tad hope you will enjoy being among
us. However, I would like to have
had my house a
. little mole" orderly
and tasteful"
The last sentence sounds more en
couragingly; so she lays her "Kul
down aside, and then tries to' lall
the sick babe to sleep while the moth.
er is arranging the tea-table. Dur
ing the mother's absence the children
take the liberty to make considerable
'noise, and she steps into au adjoin
ing room, where she indulges the
hope of being unmolested and alone
with her thoughts. Here she finds a
yery pleasantly arranged roots, neat
ly furnished, and fancy articles dis
playing the taste of the housekeeper,
scattered here and there. t-he raises
the curtain and seats herself' by the
window, and what a lovely prospect I
meets her admiring gaze! I reminds
her of home, and of her absent friends;
and'so absorbed is she in feeding on
the scene 'before het, flint she, site
drinking in all the beiiuties of nature,
and her mind for a season forgets the
annoyance of - the" first day's exiie
rience. Suddenly one' of the little
girls comes in and says;
," Ma rather
you would sit eat - in the other room,
as the flies will dbme in when the cur
tain is raised and soil all the pretty

Of nouns) she obeys; but she has
sacce4idad in 4iiieting the babe, and

THE RM.—LEGENDS CONNEOTED
<\ THEREWITH.
The CatholiC " rosary," which the
Germans call \ Itozenkran, or rese-.
wreath, suggests that originally - the
worshipers, may shave. counted their
prayers with roses; at any rate, it
seemed certain that for a long time
the larger beads were called roses.
But thus vas the case. in in Elermany
before the introduction of Christiani
ty. e rose was held to be the fa
voritellower of the maternal goddess
Hold', who, as we have before seep,
was often called " Frau Rose." It was
partly transferred, with all ogler
symbols of Holds, to the Madonna,
.who is frequently called, Marienro- :
, schea." . Mary, it is said, dries her
veil on a rose bush, which thence
forth bears no more roses. But there
has been a tendency to associate" the
white rose particularly with the Vir
gin Mary, - that being chiefly chosen
for her fete days, while the warmer
and more.earthly feelipgs assocated
with " Frau Rose, and till represent
ed in the superstitions connected
with the red rose. If a white rose
bloom in autumn it denotes-an early
death; if a red," an early marriage.
The red rose, it is held, will not
bloom over a grave. In Posen the
"rose-apple" is carried by the coun
try maiden in her breast , to keep her
lover true. In Thuringia, she who
has several lovers may name rose
leaves after _them and scatter them
on water; the leaf that sinks last is
that of her truest lover, or predestin
ed husband. Some of the supersti
tions concerning the rose in Germany
are singular; as for instance, the cus
tom found in some places of throw
ing rose leaves on: - a coal fire for
good luck, and the sayittg that rose
bush pruned on_St. John's Day will
bloom again= in the• autumn. The
relation of the flower to blood is
widely believed. Thug - one may find
in France and Italy, as well as Ger
many, the saying that' a. drop of
one's blood buried under a rose buAi
will bring rosy cheeks. The ruse is
also associated with an ancient cluilin
once universal in' Germany, still fre
quent in Swabia and Westphalia,
against nose-bleeding, and indeed all
kinds of hemorrhages.' This forum;
la in Westphalia, runs thus: " Abek,
Wabek,' Fribek: in Christ's garden
stand three red roses—tine for the
good God the other for God's blood,
the third for the angel fabriel:
blood, I pray you cease to floNi " Li
Swabia it is said: "On our Lord Je
sus' grave sprang three roses—tie
first is Hope, the second Patience,
the third God's Will: blood, 'I pray
von be still'" Sometimes again it is
"In God's garden bloom three roses
—Blood-drop, Blood-stop, and Blood
still," etc. These rides havepeceliar
modifications.' In St. Louis, Missou
ri, a German named Stretgerilast
year committed murder, and after:-
ward suicide. In his room was found
the following charm against hemoir
haee: " At the grave of Christ bloo m
three flowers—the first is Jugend,
the second is Tugend, the third is
Gabel (trebel). Repeat three times
and the blood will cease to flow." I
have somewhere met' with a •legend
that the thorn crown of Christ was
inade-from. the_ rose-briar, - and that
the drops of blood that started tinder
A and fell to the ground blossomed
to-roses; the fable has been recalled
to me, though I can not trace it, by
the fictitious lines of the most gifted
American poetess (Mrs. Howe):
"Bien saw the thorns oa deans' brow, - -
Bat angels saw the roses!"
A similar idea p ervades the 'story
of "Dornroschen, known to English
readers as the "Sleeping:Beauty," or
"Rose-bud;" who, it will be nem
bered, sleeps in a palace. surrounded
by . formidable thorn thickets, in
Vida:rail who approached perished,
save the true prince, to , whoin the
thorns_ were all roses, thronhlwhich
, he passed with ease. There is, by
the way, in the same legend, as it or
iginally appears in the Edda of Ste
mind, a curious remembrance of the
Oriental -symbolism which- connect
reorthe rose with silence and sleep.
When Sigurd they enters the castle
and arouses Brynhilda, she tells the
story of her trance in these words:
"Two kings contended; one bight
Iliahngunner, and he was - old but of

the sleepy thorn, and said I should

TnEaa is a good deal, of condensed

If the good sense and affections' of a

trusted, or should he find ho. cannot
love her as ho ought to, it is more
honorable that be should declare it;
and we do not approve of the argu

strongly desired that the quarrel
might be " made up " enly in effect,

having to brly his freedom at the cost

fairly engaged, generally stand au
excellent chance of being held to the
bargain they have made; and if they
are let off it is only because they are
not cared for. In suet an event they
should, see reason to congratulate
themselves that.they have found out
the truth in time, and have the phil
osophy to exelaim, "Better to have
been once loved (though not mar
ried), than never to have been loved
at all;" and, so saying, cast their net
of eharnwand loveliness again into

Two vcAns - ago, - while "Brick "
Pomeroy was one day_ in his sanctum
he was visited by a Baptist clergy
man, who had just returned from an •
ocean voyage. The clergyman had •
lost the most of his hair, and the sun
reflecting on the salt-water hid made
his face of a scarlet color, and pro
duced a fine crimson blieer, on his
nose. Pomeroy*was called from his
room a moment, and
. the clergyman
took a seat at the vacated desk to
write a note. While he was thus
also and Easy, a Democrat from
Pennsylvania entered the room in
search of Pomeroy. Mistaking the
clergyman for the editor he brought
his open hand with a heavy thud on -
the polished skull before' him:
" D—n you, "Brick," old • boy, how
are you ?- 1 he exclairhed; "I' never
saw yon before, but I knew you -by
your d---d old bald head and -red
nose! Nobody but- a good Democrat
could get such a color as that."
The clergyma.n blushed as red as
possible, and assured the stginger of
his mistake.. Both were a good dCali
