And that was where she had me.

I thought it time to have a queen—
And asked her if she'd wed me:-
She said she didn't much object,

The granites are not on all parts of
the earth alike. The common granite
is composed of quartz, felspar and mica.
Porphyritic granite, is that in which
large crystals of felspar occur in a small
grained ghiuite.
Sienite or 'sten/tic granite, is that in
which hornblende either Nv holly or in
part supplica, the place of mica.
Taloa or Chloritic granite, is compos
ed of quartz, felspar and talc or chlorite.
Felaputhic granite s in which felspar
is the principal ingredient, and the
quartz and particularly the Mica very
rare. This granite is frequently nearly
white and is called by the French
Ratite.
Tote resembles mica in appearance.
The plates are flexible but not elastic;
it its much softer than Mica and is in
finAble ; its colors generally towards

EDUCATIONAL WORE.' DQNE BY SIIPEBIN
TENDENT.
We have visited about two-thirds - of
the schools during the nine months of
the year, leaving tote other one-third
disappointed, and probably blaming the
County Superintendent. _ •
The visitations, with forty publiC ex
amtnations, have required a ride of
Wore than one thousand miles through ,
all kinds of weather, find over all sorts '
of roads, not always the most refFesh
ing to man or beast. Of the more. than
four hundred teachers examined, only
tWenty:nine have - reedvet/ professional
certificates, a huniber, which, though so
small, is much greater than, the average
throughout the-State, and greater than
a rigid constructimeet - the_instructions
from the Department would Warrant.—
Only fourt - -en have -been entirely re
jected, wMle seven ty-eigh t were marked
so low that' we suppoeed directors would
not employ them. These will hereaf
ter be rejected unless decided improve
ment shall be shown upon examination.
While there are but two huhdred and
forty-seven schools its the county, who
can see the need of .seventy-four male
and three hundred and ,fort Y-nine fe
male teachers actually employed in the
county`durio‘r the past year? Of these
teachere, eighty-four have had no ex
pel knee, and ninety-six an experience
of less than one year; and; yet, beCause ,
these teachers will e-o into the schools
at any price, they are 'allowed to sup
plant better teaceets. Hence the ne
cessity of the painful duty lime:liter, on
-the part of the County Superintendent,
of rejecting mane of these teachers.
"We have we met, two hundred and
twenty-five official- letters during the
nine months ; -and have never failed to
meet an appointment, though these ap-,
',ointments were. published four to six:
weeks in advance.
The County Institute, called twice
during the year, a; mainly a failure;
the teachers not al:ling either able, or
obliged teattend. If the 'motley, now
previded to pay lecturers, Could be ap
propriated to Tay, in part, the expeneea
of teachers, they - could be compelled to
attend. ,
OIIsTACLV4 IN TIIE WAY. ,
1. The want tL qualified teachene,
,and the slownedi of teachers to• adapt
improved meth: ,is of instruction and
government.
2. Dieerepanv between the wages,
of male; and fe!, - Ittle teileliets of equal
competency.
3. Prejudice egainet public schools
because of thebi• agrarian tendency.—
Even our Anieyicanism cannot educate
the .IDirit of caste out off all• eC us; it '
clings like ourkommon depravity.
4. Unequal Lax:Viola
6. Unreqiiiqtai labor of school direc
tors,
and tao many of . them by oue-half.
d. Unfortunate location of school
houses, and too - many of them, because
parents prefer to send their 'children a
lbw rods tofu half a school, 4nd a poor
one at that rather than to let them go
two miles a) a whole school and a good
one.
7. Constsnt change of teachers from
one school to another, because they do,
not, by theexl.ellency of their teaching,
fasten themselves to the hearts, of the
parents and children, es a necessity for
the school. „
