Their obligations are just as strong, and what would be done with a Teacher should he fail in all his duties? Ministers, too, cause Teachers to feel their neglect very seriously. They visit the members of their respective congregations, administer to their spiritual wants, but the public schools, the greatest sphere for usefulness, are passed " by ou the 6thcr side." True, they are made up of different denomination?, but surely, no minister would make a sectarian institution of a Public School! Tho " bread of life" administered in season might be like that oast upon the waters. The body needs breiu! to sustain it, and medicine to keep it healthy,but itcannotlive by bread alone, neither can the mind, disea C;d by neglect, live on medicine. Little minds need words of cheer, they want their parents to encourage them by taking a deeper interest in their school. They want them to come and see for themselves, and assist in throwing off that prison gloom that so often pervades the schoolroom, and at the close of the term the scholars and Teachers want Directors and Parents to come and make a thorough examination of their actual progress, if they do not before. This will be much more satisfactory than to have them give an Exhibition of what they do not understand, and which is no test of scholarship whatever.

The seventy members of the Senate and House who went to Scranton on an excursion last week have returned. After leaveing Ilarrisburg, at 8 A. M. on Friday morning, they dined at Kaston, and reached the junction on the New Jerey Central Kailroad at 2 o'clock P. M., whore they were received by a committee of citizens of Scranton, consisting of John Brisbin (Superintendent of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad), G. W. Sanderson, Abraham Dunning, Mr. Robinson, Thomas lDickson, A. N. Meylcrt, Thomas J. Walsh, David 11. Randall, and others. During the trip from the junction to Scranton the cars were frequently stopped to afford a view of the Lackawanna Valley and the bold scencry of the Delaware Water Gap. At Scranton the citizens met the excursionists at the depot, and a procession having been formed, the guests, headed by a brass band, proceeded to tho Wyoming, St. Charles and Forrest Hotels. Ou Saturday morning the members visited Carbondalc, passing over the inclined planes, and in the afternoon inspected the iron and coal operations in and about Scranton. A grand dinuer was giveu at 7 J'. M. at tho Wyoming Hotel. John Brisbin presided, and the proceedings were enlivened by tho usual toasts and speeches. On Sunday the members attended Divine service in ihe churches of Scranton, and on Monday morning left for Harrisburg. 1115 AT TIIE There is no profession more noble than that of a Public School lcachcr; yet there is none which is less understood or appreciated. There is a class of uneducatca, selfish people who consider a Teacher much os a kind of parasite, deriving strength and support from the public funds. This is not true of all. There are many warm sympathizers, many who truly appreciate a Teacher's responsibilities but even they do so little to help bike away the stumbling blocks and impediments, that it leaves the profession a more difficult one than any other. Extreme youth, sometimes, and often a We have heard some tough stories of "Virginia mud," but the following extract from a letter in the Dvnbury Timet, from Stafford Court House, boats all the mud stories extant: WEST PITTSTON STORE WALL'S HOTEL, respectfully solicited.

Slocum's stuff. As he rode to the top of an eminence, on the way down, he says :—I saw a driver astride of his team, in a distant mud hole, jerking vigorously at the single line with which he drove his four mules, and waving his hat. furiously above his head. At first I thought he was try- I ing to urge his team over the slough, but soon saw that it made no progress forward, while the driver continued his exertions, but looked anxiously bnckward. Wagon, team and driver were sinking. I rode forward as fust as the mud would permit; driver and mules were fast disappearing, but he never ceased his exertions, and the thought of deserting his saddle appeared not to have entered his head. I reached the spot, but the hand and head of the driver alone remained above the mud. I saw him throw his cap toward me with a convulsive movement, heard him give three cheers for the American Union, and the mud closed over him." LATE AMERICAN HOUSE, TCNKIimOCK, WYOMING CO., PI.

An undaunted, straight forward course with an eye upward, and a voice onward is the only successful course. A schoolroom, crowded with little rcstr less pupils, does not make a good medium for him, through which he can look at the beau ideal of his profession. Alas, for him. He is expected to have all patience, all leudom, all knowledge. Lie ought not to have any of the passions or temptations to which poor, frail human nature falls heir. Ilia should be the patience of Job. His meekness should be that of Moses.— lie should be " wise as a serpent and harmless as the dove." But, being a partaker of fallen nature, ho fails to reach the mark prescribed, and not having the aid he needs, he is found to be, not an angel of perfection, but a mere human being,with as much sinful nature with which to contend, as any one. The pupils are no aid. The patents take too little interest, and do not, as a general thing, help maintain a high thought of the profession. They sometimes manifest much liidillerencc. If not, why is it they so seldom visit the schools, or assist in impressing on their minds that the work is a great one 'I More astounding still, why is it that teachers may toil oa for six months or a year at a time, and not see the fuce of a Director except the Secretary? Under circumstances, would it bo strange that the younger portion appear like frightened birds, or that the teacher should get disheartened, and that the enthusiasm dies out of his soul. When he sees that no one takes any pains to cheer on, look on, or make a suggestion as to the propriety of this method, or the impropriety ot that, he is likely to become a poor teacher, if ho did not commence such.

A Good Sei.l.—One of our citizens was badly sold not long ago. lie had been famous in former days for raising the best chickens and dogs in town ; but having got tired of the business he retired from the " ring." The old spirit was still retained in him however at the sight of a splendid French Terrier, and thinking much of the animal, he conceived the idea that crossing the breed with a fox would be something startling. He therefore procured Mr. Fox and kept the animals together for a long time without auy result. The Fox at last, having made his will, died, and being a beautiful specimen our friend conceived the idea of having him prepared for his museum. Accordingly he gave Reynard into the hands of some person to take off the hide when, lo ! it was discovered tha| bolh the animals he had been endeavoring to breed from belonged to the female persuasion ! He is now very anxious that nobody should tell the story, and we accordingly publish is to save his friends the trouble of relating it.—Heading Timet.

Register's Notice. The scene which generally takes place in a certain room at a certain hotel, was rehearsed at Scranton, to the intense delight of the Luzerne and Lackawanna natives. They have known many varieties of beasts, but Legislative elephants were as rare as hen's teeth. It is modestly suggested by an outsider,who don't want, never did want, and never will want any legislation, that when the next exhibition takes place, somebody will represent a Harrisburg " snake" as it appears in Bill form, and that the snake aud a genuine specimen of a Harrisburg borer be caged together and sent to as the two great rascals of the age. —Phila.

Their obligations are just as strong, and what would be done with a Teacher should he fail in all his duties? Ministers, too, cause Teachers to feel their neglect very seriously. They visit the members of their respective congregations, administer to their spiritual wants, but the public schools, the greatest sphere for usefulness, are passed " by ou the 6thcr side." True, they are made up of different denomination?, but surely, no minister would make a sectarian institution of a Public School! Tho " bread of life" administered in season might be like that oast upon the waters. The body needs breiu! to sustain it, and medicine to keep it healthy,but itcannotlive by bread alone, neither can the mind, disea C;d by neglect, live on medicine. Little minds need words of cheer, they want their parents to encourage them by taking a deeper interest in their school. They want them to come and see for themselves, and assist in throwing off that prison gloom that so often pervades the schoolroom, and at the close of the term the scholars and Teachers want Directors and Parents to come and make a thorough examination of their actual progress, if they do not before. This will be much more satisfactory than to have them give an Exhibition of what they do not understand, and which is no test of scholarship whatever.

The seventy members of the Senate and House who went to Scranton on an excursion last week have returned. After leaveing Ilarrisburg, at 8 A. M. on Friday morning, they dined at Kaston, and reached the junction on the New Jerey Central Kailroad at 2 o'clock P. M., whore they were received by a committee of citizens of Scranton, consisting of John Brisbin (Superintendent of the Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad), G. W. Sanderson, Abraham Dunning, Mr. Robinson, Thomas lDickson, A. N. Meylcrt, Thomas J. Walsh, David 11. Randall, and others. During the trip from the junction to Scranton the cars were frequently stopped to afford a view of the Lackawanna Valley and the bold scencry of the Delaware Water Gap. At Scranton the citizens met the excursionists at the depot, and a procession having been formed, the guests, headed by a brass band, proceeded to tho Wyoming, St. Charles and Forrest Hotels. Ou Saturday morning the members visited Carbondalc, passing over the inclined planes, and in the afternoon inspected the iron and coal operations in and about Scranton. A grand dinuer was giveu at 7 J'. M. at tho Wyoming Hotel. John Brisbin presided, and the proceedings were enlivened by tho usual toasts and speeches. On Sunday the members attended Divine service in ihe churches of Scranton, and on Monday morning left for Harrisburg. 1115 AT TIIE There is no profession more noble than that of a Public School lcachcr; yet there is none which is less understood or appreciated. There is a class of uneducatca, selfish people who consider a Teacher much os a kind of parasite, deriving strength and support from the public funds. This is not true of all. There are many warm sympathizers, many who truly appreciate a Teacher's responsibilities but even they do so little to help bike away the stumbling blocks and impediments, that it leaves the profession a more difficult one than any other. Extreme youth, sometimes, and often a We have heard some tough stories of "Virginia mud," but the following extract from a letter in the Dvnbury Timet, from Stafford Court House, boats all the mud stories extant: WEST PITTSTON STORE WALL'S HOTEL, respectfully solicited.

Slocum's stuff. As he rode to the top of an eminence, on the way down, he says :—I saw a driver astride of his team, in a distant mud hole, jerking vigorously at the single line with which he drove his four mules, and waving his hat. furiously above his head. At first I thought he was try- I ing to urge his team over the slough, but soon saw that it made no progress forward, while the driver continued his exertions, but looked anxiously bnckward. Wagon, team and driver were sinking. I rode forward as fust as the mud would permit; driver and mules were fast disappearing, but he never ceased his exertions, and the thought of deserting his saddle appeared not to have entered his head. I reached the spot, but the hand and head of the driver alone remained above the mud. I saw him throw his cap toward me with a convulsive movement, heard him give three cheers for the American Union, and the mud closed over him." LATE AMERICAN HOUSE, TCNKIimOCK, WYOMING CO., PI.

An undaunted, straight forward course with an eye upward, and a voice onward is the only successful course. A schoolroom, crowded with little rcstr less pupils, does not make a good medium for him, through which he can look at the beau ideal of his profession. Alas, for him. He is expected to have all patience, all leudom, all knowledge. Lie ought not to have any of the passions or temptations to which poor, frail human nature falls heir. Ilia should be the patience of Job. His meekness should be that of Moses.— lie should be " wise as a serpent and harmless as the dove." But, being a partaker of fallen nature, ho fails to reach the mark prescribed, and not having the aid he needs, he is found to be, not an angel of perfection, but a mere human being,with as much sinful nature with which to contend, as any one. The pupils are no aid. The patents take too little interest, and do not, as a general thing, help maintain a high thought of the profession. They sometimes manifest much liidillerencc. If not, why is it they so seldom visit the schools, or assist in impressing on their minds that the work is a great one 'I More astounding still, why is it that teachers may toil oa for six months or a year at a time, and not see the fuce of a Director except the Secretary? Under circumstances, would it bo strange that the younger portion appear like frightened birds, or that the teacher should get disheartened, and that the enthusiasm dies out of his soul. When he sees that no one takes any pains to cheer on, look on, or make a suggestion as to the propriety of this method, or the impropriety ot that, he is likely to become a poor teacher, if ho did not commence such.

A Good Sei.l.—One of our citizens was badly sold not long ago. lie had been famous in former days for raising the best chickens and dogs in town ; but having got tired of the business he retired from the " ring." The old spirit was still retained in him however at the sight of a splendid French Terrier, and thinking much of the animal, he conceived the idea that crossing the breed with a fox would be something startling. He therefore procured Mr. Fox and kept the animals together for a long time without auy result. The Fox at last, having made his will, died, and being a beautiful specimen our friend conceived the idea of having him prepared for his museum. Accordingly he gave Reynard into the hands of some person to take off the hide when, lo ! it was discovered tha| bolh the animals he had been endeavoring to breed from belonged to the female persuasion ! He is now very anxious that nobody should tell the story, and we accordingly publish is to save his friends the trouble of relating it.—Heading Timet.
