THE BOOK OF “JEFF.”
Now before this time, McClellan, who had
been chief-captain of- the host of Abiahsin, bad
been removed therefrom because be possessed
not valor and wisdom .and understanding, like
onto Jeff and his chief captain, Lee by name,
and because many" believed he loved the cause
pf Jeff better than that of Abraham.
Now Abrnham cast in bis mind who should
be. chief captain in bis stead.. And be said in.
bis heart,-, “ there is one Ulysses, who ie sur
oamed Grant, with whom dwelleth wisdom, and
victory goejh before" him, and bis enemies flee
from-beford] his face; let us even make him
chief captain of the host."
And the saying pleased his counselors and
they all said “ amen 1“
And he was made chief captain. And he
straightway took his departure for the city of
Richmond to besiege it, he ami all hie host.— -
And they passed through-many ol the fenced
cities of Jeff bn their way thither. And the
Jeffiles rose op against -them,-ana ought how
they might destroy them. ■ And Ulysses des
troyed many of their cities, and pot many men
tq the, sword, (buwbeit he injured not their
women and children,] and after many days they
they came before the gates of Richmond.
Then said Jeff unto bis chief captain Lee,
"Our chief city is besieged by these ‘Yan
kees,’ therefure pall tbqn forth all the males t f
fifteen years and upwards to come up and de
fend it, and say unto them that the men of
.Abraham have come down upon us, to destroy
us, aod to take from us our citics.and onr
bondmen, and to, makeiw. .subservient unto
them, and to leavers without honor, and with
.oot a ultrae among -the. nations of : the Tearth,
buf we all ail become a hissing, and a byword"
among-all people, and in. every : land." And
th.e'.edying pleased Lee; and be augmented his
tbost to at very great army.
Now, the two' arroiea were lying near to each
other, and .duLannoy each, other for many days,
and numbers.-fell .on both sides, and yet the
‘battie Waied hotter,; and in this wise remained
they ’till, about the days uf peace. Now Abra-’-
ihnin' had other armies in the west, and in the
south, and in all of .the revolted provinces, and
they were commanded by one William, also
icalled Sherman, .of whom wp shall.speak here
after..
t rT .. chapter stir,
i Jeff conspiretb against Abraham.
; And ifcamelo piss.thaf the counselors of
Jeff ‘ chore' forth, and said unto him ; “Oh
jeff f master nnd sovereign, what will thou that
we should do for thee.”
And he said onto them, “thatl may destroy
the life of Abraham." Now therefore do thorn
as 1 shall command thee, and ..we., will destroy,
the life of Abraham ; and we can then do wkat
seemeth good unto Us.” And the sayingpleased
them,,, And they answered and said unto him,
“.Ob Jeff; righteous and great, we will serve
thee in whatsoever thou eommandest.’t - -
■ And.he said, go thou clandestinely into Can
ada a province of the .'Queen o,f Britaoia, (who
is friendlyjunto.us, but dare not help ua for
fear pf Abraham,) and when there, write and
Say unto Horace, (who's also called Greeley,
of the metropolis of the province'called New
York, who writelb tidings unto the people, who
is also a friend unto Abraham, and influential)
after, this wise. “Lo 1 we are for peace 1” and
cause thou Horace to respond urfto thee, apd to
persugde." Abraham to recpfve thee into bis
presence, either in his own house, or in bis
council chamber, and there unsheath thy dag
ger and slay him, and flee thou unto me, and I
yrill protect thee -from tbe wrath of his people.”
‘"And Tits.sayings pleksed the conspirators
and they cried with one voice, “oh Jeff, live
forever ! we will straightway do as thou iast
bidden,” _ And they took their departure!
And in due time they wrote onto Horace,
saying, “we aye for peace I come thou to us
that we may confer with thee open that desi
rable subject.”. -
Now Horace was benevolent, philanthropic,
and. compassionate. And it-grieved him sore
that war must prevail amid these, his brethren
in the land. But wisdom, like unto the wia
; dom of •Lincoln, was not, at all tiroes, with
: him. And Horace met them and said,-’ “ what
i wiliest thou 1" and they answered, " that thou
■ importune Abraham, to. receive ns into his
•(presence that we may sue for peace.” And he
?sent their sayings .unto-Abraham and besought
him to receive them-ijy,.; ■
But Abraham, with whom dwelleth wisdom,
BY J4.MEB O. CLABS.
CHAPTER XII,
said unto.lloruce, ‘‘lf they bring written over
tures from Jeff, whom they sarve, then will I
treat with them, and if not, then must they go
their wny.” Then was Horace displeased with
Abraham, bat forsook him not; bat.continued
to give tidings unto the people, and to duly
herald and approve the acts of Abraham.

TIOGA COUNTS’ TEACHERS' INSTX
tote,
The sixteenth session of the Tioga County
-Institute was held at Mansfield commencing
on the 7th. instant, and cominuing“’f6ur days.
Tuesday,.7tb, 10 o'clock, A. M., convened in
the Baptist Church, and in the* absence of the
President, J. H. Bosard, Mr. B. B. Van Buaen
was elected chairman.
Messrs. V. A. Elliott, C. C. Peck?J. E .Rose,
Misses Clara Clark, and L. B. Ames were
appointed a committee to prepare a programme
fur the different sessions of the Institute. Ad
journed.
Afternoon session. House called to order by
the President, V. A. Elliott took up the subject
of Mental Arithmetic. He gave his| method of
teaching it—thought it always • advisable to
have a regular system of instruction. No study
so well calculated to discipline the reasoning
faculties as this.
iProf. F. A. Allen took up the subject of Geog
raphy, compared the earth to a huge animal,
possessing life, power and vitality. He gave
some very interesting facts concerning Austra
lia. .Adjourned.
Evening session. Prof. Wbite, of the Normal
Sboul, favored the Institute with a piece of
music, after which Prof. Streit delivered a very
excellent lecture, entitled “The Mission of life.”
The object of all study is to fit us for life. It is
imperatively necessary to know tbe nutate of
the material,but more so,_the object for which
we labor. Teachers are moulding and fashion
ing .that, which will live throughout all eternity.
They do not always Libor for the good of their
pupils, but simply for a mere compensation, for
their work. Lives of incalculable worth, are
sacrificed for the bobble wealth. A real life is
in itself, a reward 1 . The materials of a real life,
are love and truth, and its love, God. Music by
Prof. White. Adjourned.
Wednesday, A. M. President Van Dnaen in
the chair. It being necessary to elect a treas
urer. in abscence of the treasurer elect. Miss. F.
H. Miine was chosen.
Miss. P. H. Maine and Mr. C. L. Peck were
appointed critics for the day.
Prof, Allen took np the subject of grammar.
He gave bis method of teaching grammar to
begioneru. He would use'books but very little.
Ho would teach theca to .be independent. Ha
thinks rules in grammar are arbitrary, and that
we study grammar in the light of other men's
viewing it.
He would not use “ case” in grammar, but
the subjective, possessive and nominative form,
instead. Recess to get acquainted.
Rev. N. L. Reynolds took np tbe subject of
orthography. He conducted a very interesting
and instructive class drill, and by this means
gave his method of teaching orthography. Ad
journed.
Afternoon session. Mr. Elliott took np tbe
subject of reading, and spoke of the various
methods of teaching it.
Prof. C. H r Terrill took up the snlijeat of
arithmetic.- He thinks the teacher who can
teach a to explain and what to
leave out, in each article accomplishes' consid
erable. He has the greatest trouble in im
pressing upon the pupils that rules and an
swers are unnecessary. He took, up fractions.
There were some very clear and concise demon-,
strntiuns by the teachers.
Items were then collected and distributed.
Adjourned.
Eve'ding session. Music by Prof. "White.—
