The laborers numbered about twenty in alL and tbey were headed by one who filled tbe post of "run ner." that is. a man who regulated the movements of the reet by lead ing to and front the works.,', Tbe man emrjloved for the office in this case, was one Robert' Ryan, a steady, earnest, sober man. . ' , Ryan was only a laborer, and it was as much as he could do to read good print, and write bis name oc casionally when it was required; but be was a man with a strong sense of what was right and wrong, and with a decided leaning toward the right' It was this feeling which prompted him to abandon drink and join the temperance eociety. UI may , like beer, he said, "and I may like ioanng about in a public house with my mate ; but it is not right for me to do so when, my wife and child must be the sufferers." So he gave op drink, (ought out, by Divine assistance, tbe , fight . .with temptation ' until he conquecea.' and then settled down, a sober, happy man. , .... ... .'. .... , Sobnetv led to sometuins better. Aa he had not the, public house to spend his Sundays in, he , wisely oonebt a seat in God's house. ' . ' Such a man could not long pass unnoticed, and Ryan was soon se lected from tbe mass of laborers and appointed to the jpoat of ; "runner,"' for which he obtained an extra six pence a day. Mr. Collins, his mas ter, would have done sometning more for him, but Kyan s education was very defective, and the post of foreman was for the present out of lb Question, i.yan, nowever, was content, and worked on, receiving his Weekly,' wages thankfully and spending them on domestic comforts like a prudent man, . ; . 1 be laborers were marching irom the barge, each with a plank upon his shoulders, when the bell sudden ly rang. The man next to Ryan immediately threw down hia plank. but Ryan walked steadily on. "Hold. hard. Kyan," cried the third man ; "did you hear the I j heanL said . Rjran, "but we have only a step or two to go ; why pitch the stuff about in the mud in that way T ... . ... ' . The man who .had .thrown down his plank took it up, with a surly ir and fell into the ranks again. Ryan walked to , the buikuoe, pat his burden on the top of the pile, and the rest, more or leas sulky, fol lowed n&V exampfe:" ""'J "There-" h said, "look at the tWk-not huite m minute pail and mm kA Mwetl ourseUt no ena oi ' 1 m - - , r trouble, and the master tea minutes tim Iry bringing: oar wort to me proper plae." i ' r. v-it i i "Cat timr is time,'' urged the man arko. hasi thrown: down his plank; tn tnaster expects as to be here at taa Burrate, and we uxe to leave on t tb aaucnte, too." ''Swill, atKtcking a point in his faor now and then does na no Um," retaraed Cyan, "and I think it the as manly tii?; to do." - The men did not atop to duenss the subject then, hot harried away KSTABLISEtEJD,' 1837. ,i PA;;' WEDNESDAY. MAY hi 1882 to dinner. . Many of Ihem were1 far from home, and some had their din ners brouhtf4Ur bought some thing at the . cook shop, but nearly all went to the public house. There in the tap room the conduct of Ryan was discusscd.ond Richard Morgan, the man who had thrown down the plank, led the van In a tirade against the ronncr.'f V", . " , . " ,,: . : - "It is bad enough to be nigger driven by the master, he said, "but for one of our own lot to go against us is more than I can stand." . ' "Bat yoa must go with the run ner," said one of the listeners. ; " 'ith a runner," returned Mbr gan,' "but not 'with', Ryan.' "If 'I headed the gang 'yon should' have easy times, lean tell you." "Until you got the sack, saia.the previous speaker, with a laugh. Morgan had a certain poer of speech "gut of gab " hi mates call ed it and until it was time to re turn to work beheld forth on R van's base conduct, and found many will ing ears. . m lrom tnat time , van became a marked man ; the men followed him as cf old, bat they did all they could to annoy him.' He was a powerful man and, .could easily have beaten any one of hi assailants; but he steadily refused .to fight, and bade them go home and think, and then return to their work wiser men.' ' After a time Ryan's patience bore fruit, and many of the men ceased to annoy him; but Morgan, with the rancor ofj a little mind, only grew more furious as he saw the chance of ruining Ryan slipping away. Day and night, in work and out of work, he kept hia tongue going, calling bis fellow, laborers ,8ves,, and was very great on the subjtct of "division of property," which would enable every man to live in peace and com fort "without work, . .. . I : The men often laughed at his ex- jtravagant assertions; but some, of his ideas took root, and a xeeung of discontent gradually became general. Misunderstandings were developed into deliberate assaults upon ; the liberty, and comfort of the men, hastv words magnified into studied insults, and the. train was laid for one of those suicidal movements called a 'Strike J';.!. . r !"' .While this was impending. Ryan was called to account before a com mittee of the men. who held their meeting in a held close to the work, . Morgan attended as an accuser, with a majority of tbe men emp;oy- ta ua Huuicutc ..-, t , , Ryan's answer was as follows :. , "I've : heard Morzan.", said i be: looking that man. boldly .and .hon estly in the face ;' "and I can , only say that it isn t true in the, main, and, although I can't exactly point out where, it is ntrae. Morgan's got a good head, and I've , got, just tctlBV cuuuu if, auun nua a 1 1,11 1, and that's alh According,', to my notion of tilings, I only do my duty, and as I am paid for it I shall do it while I have the . health and strength , to keep , at my work. I don't say that the masters , are al ways right, becatua they, are ( not," continued Ryan ; "but when a man undertakes to do bis work he ought to do it, and if he does sometimes tarry a plank half a dozen yards when Mia bell is ringing what a tne odds? Look here, mates, w are al ways talking . about the masters showing , us consideration, and it comes to this, if. we take we most give too. , IU not stand up against those as works with me, and 111 not gay a word behind your backs. The masters must fight their own battles, and they are able to do it, but I must speak to you as mates. I take my stand on right, and : no man can be right unless be does his dUty.".r .... -,. :; '" Rvan s notions were not particu lar; v popular, but his words carried weight with them. ; More than one listener ftitthiit be only acted aa aa honest man: but Morgan and bis follower were the stronger party, and &t a nrirabe meeting in the evenins it was decided that a roood robin should be sent in against the 'runner.' demanding his diamissaL It was drawn up, signed by the com mittee and DUt before the men on the morrow.

Mr. Collins knew the character of Ryan and liked him. i Iu his branch be was the best man npon the- rorks, and it was much against ! his desire j to part with him. , ; i .? l--;tr- -t,f -.fIf we give way : this; time," he said "we shall soon have another request one . impossible to comply with, perhaps, .1 have seen the feel ing growing , among the men; we have too many , talkers, and a strike it inevitable ; it may aa well come now as a month heoce.'5 y- ; i ; And so it was decided, r The an swer was sent to the men, and it was.

Grammar id a branch of tho com mon school course, which I approach with diffidence, the more so because many good educators are coing tlie length of claiming that' grammar should not be taught in our public schools at all. I must confess that I cannot agree with them.. Many of tbem would substitute for grammar a series of "Language Lessons," and our friends the book-makers and publishers, ever willing to accom modate, have already sent out a dozen or so treatises entitled "Lan guage Lessons." I &m as far as any man from wishing to set the way of learning with thorns. I am a firm believer in the good old doctrine. "Laugh and grow fat" If I can cause the smile of mirth to wreathe the face that but now was bathed in tears, or the brow that was "clothed with thunder," I think I am render ing God better service than in en couraging the feeling of sorrow. But while I believe this, I am not one of those who are agreed to banish the study of grammar from our schools Between a person who possesses a knowledge ot grammar derived from a study and application of its pnn ciples, and one who has never stud ied those principles, who has had no experience in their application, there can be no doubt wbatever as to the matter of excellence in com position. The great trouble is that grammar is not studied. Men have been trying and trying to find out a royal road, but such a road does not exist. Men have sought out many inventions, rerbaps tbe ear liest was the "diagram system." This was, a3 you all know, an at tempt to fumish an eay mode of parsing by picturing off the various parts of the sentence. There are a half dozen or mora different sys tems, and yet I cannot see that the diagrams have done much for the subject. When I was much young er in tne prolesaion than now- fought more than one hard battle in favor of diagrams. Subsequent ex perience has convinced me that they arc but an auxiliary, and even as an auxiliary are to be used with cau tion. I took hold of a school sev eral years since in which was a class of young men and youi j, ladies, who having enjoyed three consecutive winters under the training of t very excellent teacher, thought th:.t they "Knew au about gramn.ir. ' Ihis text book had been Clan., ami ;here was not a member of thut cias that could not diagram readily and cor rectly, according to that author, any example in the book, whic'i is louu praise. After I had examined and found them very good, I asked them to tarn to a certain page, saying th it we would parse a few sentenced. Strange as it may appear to yoa they were , an utter failure in parsing. They . knew nothing wbatever of agreement government, etc. I had a clear demonstration of the fact that one may be able to diagram a sen tence and utterly fail to parse it; but will stake wbatever reputation I may possess that the converse of this proposition is not true: in other words, I claim that any one who can, un.lerstandingly, parse any sentence, however difficult can dia gram that sentence according to any system ot diagrams on earth as soon as be can know the leading princi ples of that system. , Language Iessons are useful I admit But I. for my part utterly fail to discover the propriety of hav ing a child prepare a series of exer cises, half of them, or all of them. wrong, in order to tell him what is right - "Every sentence must begin with a capita! letter." This is a pos itive precept Is any one going to remember it any longer because you have corrected a page of foolscap in which he has violated theordinarice? "Verbs agree with their subjects in person and number." A boy will have a clearer idea of wbat is meant if he has the paradigm at his tongue's end than if you hammer him with language lessons all winter, vainly trying to make him apprehend what is , meant by a certain phraseology without cornp.-ehending the phmse olgy itself. 1 might extend this list, bat i; is useless. How would I teach gram mar? This is the question, ami any one who is familiar with manuscripts will tell you that how to teach gram mar practically if a most important query. x Manuscripts are prepared in which may be found every con ceivable inacenracyj Many of the cases of disputed ipeanings in legal documents are based upon some vi olation of the rules of grammar. A misplaced point cost the United States millions of dollars in revenue before it was discovered. I know of no way of teaching grammar which will avoid patient work. There are a certain number of things to be . stored up in the memory. I know of no way of avoiding it There are a certain number of rules, and paradigms, and forms, etc., etc, to be learned. There is a certain amount of practice to be gone through in the application of these things, and I know of "no other name under heaven given among men" whereby it ; can be done than work. The teacher may make the path slighly smother in some places, but drill is the only thing that will make a grammarian conjoined with patient ' work on tbe part of the student ' ' Having my class formed, my meth od is to spend some time in giving them an idea of the branch they are about to take up, its importance and its use. Many a young pupil is dis couraged and disgusted with this branch simply because he has no idea wbatever of its practical nature. Get a boy once to understand that grammar is an affair that he can carry with him into every day life, that he can use in his daily transac tions, that his routine of experience will afford him numberless instances of violations of its rules, and he can not fail to become interested. In terest precedes attention. Awaken interest then and yoa secure atten tion. . I shall uot say what text book I prefer. The board of directors will in most cases decide for von. Hav- in obtained interest in the class, th ; nest tiling is to proceed to practical ! work. Most of our grammars con- Uin a great number of exercir.es in fale syntaxv and most of them . t .i : ..r : .1 m uta tuw u 11 aula. it u btihj tuat a 1 ti, sentecces -tiren are wrong. I i dct tu this an error. - "False sy u tax" should be combined with correct syntax. When the pupil goes into business for himself be wilfnot find j bis wrong sentence- kbaled au He 1 will b expected to avoid error without any ' notes of admiration" affixed. Bat wc rmsttike- our books as we find thorn. Are you tficbin; from a work with a diagram yt teto in it If so, "use it a' not abusing iL" I have already expressed my opinion of diagram rather fully. Sco to it that your pupils know the definitions. Somo persons say that "there is no use of a child's I committing a . lot of definitions which he does not understand." I do not take this in its broad sense. I know that I learned many a' deli- . VM ll.(AIUWU AAW.4AAJ AO ttil j nition that I did not understand at the time many of them not for years alter. I know, too, that learn ing thee definition never did me any harm. See to it, then. I rex.'at, that the definition ar rroperly learned understanding! if possi ble but learned. I have seen a whole class cf per sons who considered themselves good grammarians, and were, puz zled by the question, "define orthog raphy, etymology, syntax and pros ody." N. B. Not of what do they respectively treat, but what are they. Can you tell? I hope so, but if not "overhaul th-look and when found, make a note of it," as Captain Cut tle would say. You want your pupils to have de clensions, comparisons, conjugations, principal parts, eta, at their tongue' end. Vou can only do this by pa tient drill, month after month. Prac tice them in writing synopsis of verbs. I know from experience that more persons fail in this than in anv other single point of grammar. Do you wish to test a fellow's knowledge of the verb? Send him to the board to write a ayoopaia through all the modes and tenses and both voice?. If he does it correctly he knows the verb. Practice them on more than the first person, singular, although that is the main one. Many a boy and girl fail to recognize the change from shall to will in the future tenses. Another point is the infinitive. It is the worst handled portion of grammar. I have drilled a class of young men and ladies patiently for five months, and had a number of them fail on the last day of the term before the examination' "Let me go home." How many of my readers will fail to parse this sentence?. God knows, and I know, too,, that a great many will fail. There is a special rule. "After the active voice of the verbs do, bid, dare, let, make, need, see, hear, feel, and perceive, the preposition to is omitted before the infinitive. I have spent more - time - in special drill on that one rule than on any other. Parsing is a matter that can only be acquired by careful drill. Day after day parse say a half an hour. No teacher can do justice to a gram mar class in less than an hour. Much is to be done too by citations from authors. "Elegant extracts" may be made, and their beauties tainted out to your class. But if yon wish to select an essay parsing lesson, never attempt to find it in Milton. I tell you, my friend, there is no essay parsing in John Milton's works. Grammar is tanght in order that the youth may apply it in after life, ami if you do your duty your pupil will perceive at-nee that he has been laying up a store of knowledge to use in the time to come. I might enter into the discussion of particu lars; I might take op certain classes of sjntences, but to do so would be entirely out of place here. My next chapter will be on arith metic. Th Barber. The barber, children, is of an ex tinct species. The hair dresser and tonsorial artist of the present day ' are supposed, however, to be de scendants of the barber in direct line. . The barber is a treacherous creat ure, lie is never to be depended upon. He has been known to cut his best friends. He is remarkably sharp in a busi ness transaction, and he will shave yoa if you give him a chance. In fact, shaving may be said to b his business. The barber is a strapping fellow. and is ever ready to razor row. 1 have frequently seen him take a man by the noee without the least provocation. .lie has his shortcom'. brings, t be sure, and is apt to stir up your dan der ; but he has a very smooth tongue and knows how to lay on th lather. . . . He is generally hone"t in his judgments, sincere in poohpoohing shams and delusions; but at the same time he is given toa greitt li?al of shampooing. I can't ay he was ever charged with murder, tmt thtnrsands ot peo ple dye.in his shops yearly. 4" Formerly ttus barber was a sur geon, also, and uted to be paid for bleeding his customers. Now-a-days he' draws Mool without extra charge. . . . ; The barber 6eea a great many af fecting scenes. There is' a good deal of parting every day in his shop. I suspect children are afraid of the barber ; at all events they never call at his shop when their mothers. send them out after shavings. The barber is a true homctoDath. He believes in the doctrine oi like cures like. When he would remove the bristles from a mans face he al ways ruva bristles on to it The barber seldom uses nails when shingling, though he may use them when he comes to the scratch. lhe barber is a very secretive fel low. YoTTwill-f.nd locks every where about his place. He has lit tle recreation. Curling is his chief amusement , . .. . - : , He always stands well in his pro fession. V oa wiU generally find him at the head. He never makes game of his work, unless hair dressing may be consid ered a rare bit of pleasantry. . The barber has to stand a ' great deal from his customers. He does not care, however, how much cheek they display in his establishment, and the more chin tbey give bim the better be likes it - The barber's wife goe? shopping jat like ohr women, though she ought to be able to get hirsute at her husband's establishment She probably prefers ta whisker round elsewhere. Though the barber may have no children to receive his inheritance, there are always many hairs appar ent at his shop. Tbe barber's motto is Soap on, soap ever. I ; ' t t : J. 1 : w i 1. r
