There may be teachers who sicceed by "this method, but it has been my lot to follow :;ome who tried it and, in my opin ion, made a failure. Then, to begin with the beginning, I endeavor to get the children to name their letters, I do not say just here, to know their letters, for a thorough knowl edge of the alphabet is ac quired only as tho pupil ad vances in the study of orthog raphy. Then comes the te dium and monotony of spell ing the many columns of words in the spell Ing-boox. This may be 'relieved, however, be teaching the child, at once, to write by the use of the slate, and then varying the exercise bv giving it short words and afteward short sentences to write; and when it has learned to firm all the. letters let it be required to copy the words in the spelling lesson and senten ces from the reading lesson,us ing the marks to indicr.t the sounds of the letters When the pupil has advanc ed far enongh to spell from memory let him be required to write the words .on a slate or blackboard, dividing the words into syllables, marking the ac cented syllable or syllables and using the diacritical marks. Dolievinir that the eve as'well as the ear should exereisi cl one ing as the words are pro nounced. After giving out the lesson. I then reonire the and criticize the work, one of another, indicating their criti eism by ligares. After this I require the whole class to take its position for a genera! criticism vh?n such changes are made as may be necessary. The standing of each pupil is determined by the numhiv ho gets, one hundred being the mark of periVci ion. I think I have been quite successful by this method ; and in addition to my success in teaching pupils to spell, 1 liiid it profitable as an exercise in articulation ; for I require each pupil" to repeat clearh and distinctly each word as it is given him to write. When pupils are at all apt, this exercise of writing short sentences in connection with their learning to spell will make it easy for them to learn to to read. In the use of reading books, 1 endeavor to carry out the design of the author. If this is done, the plan of tlie best readlr.g books of the present lay affords s-t-flicient variety for the exercise of the pupil's mir.u so a nc. .ii;,.,.. !tii tii,., r:..1,. ii 1 , una in. of the letters, detini- noii, copying, memorizing. 1 Milking and the expressing of thought in words, u.c. The lessons contained in Ap pleton's readers, "How to Head' are well calculated to aid the teacher in instructing pupils upon the principles of inilfcction and emphasis. The teacher's voice and manner must te the guide, however,, and it is important that the teacher himself should study, and practice on the lessons that he may be prepared to teach the pupils a-rigut. As soon as children have learned to read sufficiently to use a primary arithmetic start them in that with one exercise each day, following the design or the book. Let the child understand that live ( l I , apt)IeS and UVG" a'OJJit'S HVG It'U . X L . a j . . , . I ppit Hot bllllptV leil.

Da vidson College, is the teacher. Fhe people ot this section are to be congratulated upon the fact that their teacher is well qualified, earnest and has every element necessary to se cure success. And it is a source of no lif tie pleasure to Mr. Steele to lind, as we did, in his pupils obedience and a spirit to work. The building, grounds, teacher, pupils and patrons combine equally in having a good school at this place. With fifty-nine pupils, MtSS i Minnie Abernathv, teacher in Dist. No. 2, litis duties enough to tax stronger hands. Tho With this large SCllOOl, in WlllCU i all school ages are represent ed, we believe Miss Abernathv is doinisplendid work. .She! seems to be an experienced teacher and above all, shows a love for her work, something, bv no means, found in every teacher.

According to the Salem Gazette, this is Fdward llale's story : A man had sold himself to the devil, who was to possess him at a certain time, unless he could propound a question to his Satanic nunestv which he could not answer, he be ing allowed to put three queries to him. The time came for the devil to claim his own, and he consequent ly appeared. The firtt question the man aked was concerning theology. to which it caused the devil notrou ble to reply. The second he also answered without hesitation. The man's fate depended on the thiid hat should it be ? He hesitated nd tinned pale, and the cold dew stood on his forehead, while he shivered with anxiety, nervousness terror, and the devil triumphantly sneered. At this juncture the man's wife .appeared iu the room with a bonnet in her hand. Alaimed c her husband's condition, she de luauut'i to Know tne cause. v nen informed, she laughed and said : can propound a question which the devil himself cannot answer. Ask him which is the front of his bon net." The devil gave it up, and re tiied iu disgust, and the man was free. A Steel Bolt lor a 4'oatiuvnt. This is an era of great undertak ings by land and sea. One of the latest is the railroad project to con nect Recife (Pernanibnco, the most eastern seaport of Brazil, with Val paraiso, Chili, the nearest harbor on the west coast of South America to Australia and New Zcalaad. The voyage from Lisbon to Recife is made by steamers in nine days, and Valpariaso could be reached by the proposed railroad route from Recife in live days, making the .time from Europe to the Pacific coast fourteen days. In obliquely cutting South America the road would traverse fertile provinces of Brazil, Paraguay, the Argentine Republic, and Chili. In both Brazil and the Ar gentine Republic, use could be made of skeletons of railroads already constructed. The estimated cost of the undertaking is 150,060,000. A syndidate has been formed in Rio to obtain grants of land and money from the countries interested. It need not be said that, on more grounds than of.e, this project, as well as all other projects for the de velopment of South Am-riea, if a.c- ' complished, would be of great im- 1 , ce to the people of the U. S. With the p-ogivss of tnat vast re- gioa in iculture and commerce, itg h..ule witk ihU colliltry would . , -e n immensely increase if the American people should take advantage of their opportunities. But this is not to the United States the most im portant consideration involved iu the development of Brazil and other countries of South America, If railroad i should penetrate those countries and make their cheap and fertile lands avifilab'e for remunera tive cultivation, a large emigration would be attracted from Europe. The mighty stream of immigration that now pours on these shores would be greatly diminished by di version to South America, and tints a problem that teems to perplex many people in the United States might be solved.
