• The fatuous Dr. Gntbrie net d to
relate bow ihoes„mple of a humble
coachman made !urn an advocate
of total abstinence.
In ajonrneyiu Ireland, in 1840,
in an open Car, the weather wee
cold, with a lashing rain By the
time we reached a ernall inn, we
were soaking anti water outside ;
and as those days were not days of
tea and toast, but of toddy drinking,
we thought the hest way was to
soak ourselves with whlekey inside.
Accordingly ws rushed into the
fun, ordered warm water and got
our tumbler.. of toddy. Out of
kindness to our car driver wo called
him in.
Bo wee not very well clothed;
indeed, he rather belonged, in that
respect, to the order of my ragged
eehonl yn Edinburg. He was soak.
ing with wet, and we offered him a
good rummer of toddy.
Wo thought that what was
'sauce for the goose was some for
the gander ;" but the car driver
was net such a gander as we, like
geese, took him for. He would not
taste it.
"Why ?" we asked. "What
objection have you ?"
"Please, your riverenee, I am a
teetotaler, and 1 won't taste a drop
of it."
Well, that stuck in my throat,
and went to my heart, and—in an-
other sense than drink, though—to
my head. Here wee a humble, un.
cultivated, uneducated carman, and
I said, "If that man can deny him-
self that indulgonce, why cannot 1,
a Christian minister ?"
I remembered that, and I have
over remembered it to the honer of
Ireland. I have often told the story
and thought of, the example set by
the poor Irishman for our people to
follow.
1 carried home the remembrance.
of te with me to Edinburg. That
Circumstance, along with the stenos
in which I was called to labor daily
for years, made me a teetotaler.

B_ietory should he taught by the
tot ioal method. Dr. Arnold Aug'
fiesta the following topics : "race,
langnaee, bletihitiem& and religion."
The syllabus of leoturere for Model
Scheele suggests : "(a) wars eivil
( and foreign ; (11) the constitution ;
(c) the church ; (d) progress of the
people {{' oommerolally, socially, oda
catloually ; (e) literature ; (1) not
able people."
The authors of our tri,t book have
completely ignored ilia method of
teaching in the arraugemont of their
notions.
Again the subject matter of some
of their sections has very little beer
ing on the title of the section. For
exampie, the title of the first section
on page 178 is "Immigration." The
section treats of immigration, im-
proved facilities of eoninlunicati',n,
the development id the limber and
i•hip building trade;,, the Centnt""1

t,tfnl7 this is comprehensive if not
lucid.
I believe that several resolution
have been passed by Gennty As
sociations ad.by the Provincial As,
800381ion, recommending that only a
portion of tbo subject be taught in
public schools. The Minister of
Eduoatitln has not acted on this ad-
vice. This is a matter in which I
think a part includes the whole. A
portion taught as it should be, and
with the true aims will lead to the
study of the whole.
We are sacrificing time thnt
should be devoted to reading and
literature, in the vain effort to feed
the minds of children witti the in
digestible food oentained in our
school text books.
Is there a remedy ? I believe
there is, Secure the co-operation
of our trustees, and let a united
effort he mads to obtain a reform in
this, and perhaps some other depart
meets, but I do not wish to iutr0
duce politics into this paper. Most
of yon are aware that I lean toward
the Liberal side, except when an
importaut matter is at stake. I
think I m:,y eafoly draw the line
at the 0011x80 1n history arid the text
book.
11081 TO ME Tut': T101T n00P.
My opinion of the proper plane
for the book has already been given,
but it is an authorized work and
therefore cannot be dispensed with
until it mandate le issued by the
commanding officer.
Well, then siuce there ie no help
for us, let us translate it into intelli-
gible language. I believe the beat
method is to neo the book as a text
book in reading cud literature. We
can use it also in teaching oomposi•
tion by giving exercises in paraph•
ratting and giving variety of expres-
sion.
Time may be saved by teaching
history in this way, lint the great
aims of teaching are lost sighb of
and except in the hands of a skilful
teacher, it is calculated to disgust
pupils with the subject.
Suet at this point light has
dawned on my hitherto benighted
intellect, I take it all beak, as I may
have misuuder'dtood the object of the
authors. It may have been intend-
ed as a compendium of history,
reading, literature and composition,
if se I humbly crave the autuor's
pardon for having maligned the
character of the Bonk.
A UUUMAli CUCUMBER.
A wonderful Story front Georgia which
Rivals the Arabian Nights.
The Griffin (Ga.) News says :—It
ie well known that when cucumbers
are firet cut from the vine there is
a piece which exudes or bleeds from
the stem. One of our prominent
Northern truck growers, Jared Ben-
son, out his hand a year or two ago,
and thie juice got into the out and
his hand commenced to inflame,
and an eruption similar to erysipe-
las matte its appearance on his
hand and extended up his arm, and
dually spread over his whole body.
Strange to say, there was no pain
attending these eruptions of erysipo.
las, and he continued to gather and
pack his cucumbers and prepare
them for shipment. To the great
surprise of everybody, these little
erysipelas pimples assumed the ap-
pearauce and form of small °ipeum-
bore, and continued to grow. Al-
though Benson ]rept well and hearty
he was compelled to strip himself
and take to his bed. Of course the
news of this strange phononlonon
spread far and wide, and the doe.

Each had a different remedy, but
all disagreed. So there was some
hope that the patient would get well.
But the small ououmhers grew into

completely covered with them from

Prescriptions for Vlli,

dare say that you aro also. Now,
then, for my prescriptions.
For a fit of passion, walk out in
the open air. Yon may speak your

any one, or proclaiming yourself to

For a fit of idleness count the
tiekings of a cloak. Do this for one
hour, and you will be glad to pull
off your coat the nest and work like
a negro.
For a fit of ambition, go into
the churchyard, and read the grave -
atones. They will tell you rho end
of ambition.
For a fit of repining, loop about
for the halt and the blind, and visit
the bed ridden and afflicted, and
they will make you ashamed of
complaining of your lighter alio.
