A teacher is a responsible belr.g, a little h-rr thin the ar-gels, who is expected to bs' a little above them a creature who should be without flaw or blemish one who counts th? trials cf job as nothing I think it is very likly there would have been a second book of job if ths present method of teaching had been in' oer then, and it might have been placed with- the books of the Apocrypha as being of donbtfid origin but I hardly think it would. 0 teachers ye are a noble band of There are many nice points about teaching which I might discuss but I wave them alL It has always been a mystery to me why teachers do not get rich considering the enor mous sums of money they receive, especially country teachers, a miserable pittance near ly half of which goes for board.

And my dear teacher if you should ever have the slightest curiosity to know how you are getting along, just ask the outsiders who have not been near the school house, and very likely they can tell you without any hesita tion you cannot be expected to know any thing of what is going on in the school room; teachers are most woefully ignorant in this respect. If you are unfortunate enough to get into a neighborhood where their most recent ideas date back a century you are in deed deserving of sympathy, for if the pupils do not commence and finish a branch of study in one term, and learn more than their parents ever thought of knowing the teachers ia 'no account." You may have taken every pains to keep an orderly school but if you allow them to do things, you did not know they were going to do, and for which you lectured and tried various means of punish ment, if naughty things do sometimes hap pen, tremble lest you be waited upon by the A1oard with the information that if you can-no manage the school, giving a weeks grace, you must fiad another situation. All this of course' without the Board's visiting the school. They have gathered their information from a more reliable source the pupils. How thanl'-ful you should be for the mercy shown you, and you should repent in Back-cloth and ashes.

You thought you were strict before, but think you must be stricter now but wheve to begin that is the question. If the Dir ectors have any children it will not do to begiu there; you begin and find that it is "somebody's darling." He does not Know what he is punished for, he "did not do anything," hi3 parents know him to be a good boy in school although he is as hateful as possible at home, nd are very much incensed to think he should be punished "without knowing what or." These little meannesses do not amount to anything though kept up constantly. But my dear friends, life is -made up of little thing.9, it is "the little foxes that spoil the grapes." If after htrving borne for weeks and having talked and been daily vexed, you decide tha forbearance cease3 to be a virtue, and send that unruly girl or boy home you will find that it was a little thing for which to disgrace them and their parents. Beware of the quicksand you may sink to rise no more Public opinion is powerful and who can survive it, especially the public opinion of an antediluvian neighborhood. "The moral of this wonderful tale, I will give without any fuss Those who lead the young astray al ways suffer thus." A Subscriber.

Support the Local Press. The following ideas and hints relative to supporting the local paper, we clip from an exchange. The author, be he who he may, has had experience in the publishing busi ness. We commend his thoughts to the careful reading of the public "The first step is subscribe ana pay in advance for yourself. The next step is to encourage and pursuade your neighbor and friends to go and do like wise.

This will help to support your home paper, nenever you nave anything to sell, you are in trade, or following any mechanical pursuit depending on public patronage-advertise your business in the local paper. The local advertisements are much more in teresting reading matter than people think They give a buisness aspect to the paper, and render vital aid in its support. Get your let ter-heads, bill-heads, statements, notes, receipts, printed. It is a nice and orderly course of business, and helps to support the local paper. When you subscribe, or advertise, or get job work done, don't try to jew the printer.

The local papers in this part of the country hare too much "hard scratching" be jewed down in their prices. It is wicked to ask it. The patrons of the local press would not ask the publisher to "come down" in prices, if they knew what tight times tho printer sees even when he ha3 to hold up his head and go ahead as if nothing was the matter with his financial basis. This much on supporting the local press. The next thing i3 to make the local paper inter esting.

If you learn of any extraordinary occurrence, send word to the printer. When you get into the spirit of writing--if you can write short, spicy, pungent, or pointed arti cles do it, and send them to the printer. But do not attempt original poetry. We never knew a local paper to succeed that pub lished much original poetry. If the printer should happen to differ with you sometimes, and leave out your articles, don't get mad and stop the paper.

Try again "seven and sev enty times," before you give it up or get mad. pick up a local paper and lay it by the of some city weekly made up of the offal a daily Issue, and sneeze at the comparative size of the two does nut help sustain your local paper. The large city papers are full stuff you do not care fur. Your local pa is of more value than those city papers. Reader, will you please think of these suggestions, and see if you can not do something more than you are now doing to sustain local press A new lot of writing paper and envelopes, receive! at the Replblican office.

Some of our office visitors who are welcome whenever they call, sometimes forget the rules of a printing office forbid any out-sider reading proof-sheets or copv.

If a man cheat thee once, shame on him ii ne cheats thee twice, shame on If a man deceive thee, trust him not again If he insults thee, go away from him; if je strike thee thrash him like smoke.
