If you have token an interest in the learned literary discussions in the newspapers of the country for the past year, of those who call themselves antiquarians and translators of the various mongrel Indian tongues of the tribes who have in former yean built their wigwams near these waters, you have probably made up your mind that the real signification of the name, is of about as much importance to the present generation, as that of the Jonses, or -Murphys, or O'Gormans, therefore, I will not take up your space, or tho time of your readers with a learned disquisition of the meaning of a name that has about as much interest to this generation or the future, as Gulliver's Travels have with the mosaic history of the creation.

RICES ( AS Bond* and stocks dealt in at the Stock Exchange Kissing may be divided into two great claasea —the kiss universal and the kias sentimental. The first variety is a charming salutation common among ladies, and occurs generally upon any encounter public or private, and is very violent at times after an absence of—three«r four days. There is no particular form to be observed in these off-hand inoculations; it simply being required to "fire and fall back." But the sentimental kiss ! Ob, ye gods, how shall wo describe it/ It occurs at all times and all seasons, and seems to be never out of place. Othello's farewell kisses, which, tender and heartbroken as they were, having no power to  poor dead Deademona back to life, were tie most truly sweet and touching. And there were the grand, passionate kisses of Coriol&nus— 'long as my exile, sweet as my revenge!" and sweet Romeo's dying kiss in the vaults of the Capulets.

Gain the confidence and affection of the pupils. This lies at the foundation of all true success. The most powerful stimulant to effort is desire to please those who are loved, and tha teacher who has first secured the pupil's affec- m tion, has prepared that one to do his best in study. m 2.

If you had requested mo to reject his attentions, I "would probably have done soj but in all the time I was at school you sent me but two letters, therefore I encouraged his advances, supposing that "silenco gave consent," and have acquired a very deep affection for hitu, which cannot bo easily effaced.

Above all let the faces at tha teacher's desk and in the class rooms be pleasant ones, for the light er the shadows there, will invariably be reflected from the mirror of tha * hearts on which they fall. 5. Be firm is repressing disorder. Allow aa exercise to proceed while there is any confusion in the room. Be scrupulously just to each scholar. The mere suspicion of partiality will weaken a teacher's influence. Never break a promise, nor fear to acknowledge an error if ona has been committed. We are acquainted with a teacher who acts on the principle that to aoknow ledge ignorance on any subject or to confess to a mistake or error, is derogatory to tha dignity of a teacher's position, and calculated to diminish his influence. □ vAEftTir, v [Tie largest a lects his frtoi HOS .FORD, A Ho laid them on the table and went on with dairy farms, village sports, medicinal springs, trouting brooks, forests with game, "slashings" with berries, red, blue and black,and the broad Susquehanna, with oar and sail-boats, and fish for sporting purposes.
