Not a larop. • 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 School System, circulation of m'1nOy, establiehtutnt of banks, coustruetiou of public works, the feeling agnmst irreepcneible gt.verument, the wig appropritltion t'f public funds, the scandalous ey7stom of granril g public lauds, the Alien Aar, &c. Ger 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. tors and Waffle neon visited him from various sections of tido con. try. Ono proscribed ono tiling and one another. One wished to bleed him ; ono wished Le cut the euuim• bars off ; uuotber soul not to let him hew. auy water and they would dry up ; anut1802 sand cock a holo in oath encumber and they would din and a new skin form ; another wished to wrap hila ep in a mem teeth puuleiee and time. them all le one head ; another said they ought to be scattered. 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 big ones, and hie whole body was completely covered with them from head to foot, and they cointueuced to ripen and turn yellow and thug down, and the man aesume1 the ap pearauce of a huge bnneb of ban. anal. When they got ripe they be• gen to shrivel and dry up, and so did the wan. His Rap was all gone and be died. The doctors procured the consent of the family to permit an autopsy mho trade, for the bone Jit of •cteuoe, and they cut iu°o him with their knives, and to their amm-meta found rte flesh, no blood, 110 bones', 110 Intisel0,:, 110 eitetes, 110 veins, un arteries ; hut foetid only cue solid mass of cucumber secdt", It Das so remarkable .bat 11 would bo Ole to have the rrmaiue in- torred :eel foolish to have them cremated, and the widow c'noluded that she would keep them in the !louse Site had the corpse bung up by Cho hair in the barn. 'itis Best spring sumo of the children picked up :some of the seed which had dropped au the floor and plant- ed then. They grew rapidly and matured, and iuetead of being like ibo parent stook of cucumbers they were pure pickles, and needed n0 vinegar, 110 pepper, no salt, nothing but simply pecking into barrels and shipping to market and selling. Of course, news of the discovery spread rapid ly, and multitudes of applications fon seed flowed in like the incoming tide, and thus enabled the disconso Late widow and Ohildren to turn the cause of their bereavement into a motes of naintenanoe and support. Tbo wind of affliction was thus tern pared to these shorn lambs. They sold small pockets of seed for b:g prices, and could not supply the de. mand Tho vine grown from the new seed is a perennial evergreen, and can be propagated from cut Miss blooms in the spring, and bears in the summer it bottuiifat crop of per feet pickles. The widow sells the seed at $1 a pnper. Sparks from the Lag. How does a cobbler warrant his boots ?—By staking his little awl on ibo tread of each.
