hi t p 2 I 0 ft K5 ,1 fiv ill' The Trials of a School Ka'am. GBAND LODGE, I. 0. 0. F. IN THE NEST. STATU ITOWff SlxnrY Hollow, May 15th, 1675, Mr.. Editor: As I took up a number of Tcur naner last Saturday, I saw the title of an aitlclo reading, "Teachers and Teaching." As I claim to bo ono of that "Jong suffering and much abused fraternity" teachers, I concluded to road lt,aud when I had done so I wished I might take tho writer by tho hand and thank him for his brave word. I felt thankful that thoro was some ono who darn tako up tho argument in favor of that most downtrodden of human urines a country hcUooI teacher! I .recognized at ouco the truth of his stntemenU,yet felt sorry that tho present existing stato of alfalrs rendered such a statement necessary. I w Ish to relate an incident to illuslrato tho esteem a country school leacher is held in by tho majority of people? Ah no, by only a few. When on uiy way to niv school, I loll tho cars ata l.'ttlo station, dignified into a town, through tho possession ol a "storo, posloflleo" and "iiou'l." Hero I was tr stay all night and tho next day proceed by private conveyance out among the hills of tho Coast Kange. After staying at tho "hotol" all night, I or f curie in the morning of the next day asked the amount of my bill. Judge of my surprise when the landlady pityingly replied with a iijournfui look In hor black ejoH, that she "never charged school toachum for their keoping." For a momenta faint indistinct idea tinted through my mind that porhaps the was improssed by their superiority to common mortals, liut tho good lady dis pelled my flattering thoughts by temurkiug casually in a still more doprosstd tone, that i'ho "Rllcrs" told hor gals she never wanted one of'eui to bo "a Methodist minister's wife, it fetop inothor or n schoolteacher." I feebly tried to turn tho subject; but it is vory hard to fool's that one's profession rondel a one an o'jjrotof pity. And I began to think that perhaps tlio road up tho mount of Fame would Jjhvo been smoother poihaps by Mine o hor uvenuo. It was too late though, to I t ij 1; up the routine And from my point ot iow, It stiomsthut the school teacher is re garded vh everybody 'ri natural onouiy. No one ovor tries to discover any virtues in a teacher, but those who can soo faults, ah, tl.eir name M legion! Tho soul of somo take delight in golliugoll such eloquent aeutences in, '"I won't lent my children to no such a proud, stuck-up thing." And they must thlul: it pullto and onlertaiuliig to criticise hor clothes, her actions, and thou whisper loud enough for her to hear, "Sho looks llko doll," "Lllllo baby laco," etc. I suppose a 11 in don't, have tlibioBgyi.ivalloni). A teach r ir u:posod to havo tlio patience of Job, the V.reugth of Horculo i unci tho stomach of i.n ostiich. Woo ho to tlio unlucky wretch J' ho or sho boirds around. I vould wish in y blttoiost enemy no dlrorfato than totoaoh it dMUct t-chool and "board around." And now I Tvint to inquire if parents have any duty lu this uuittor of sending their children to ichool? They setvi to IlilnU that they are if iidtrlng tho teacher a favor. Also parents decw to think it teacher ought to le they uoer ate faultless. Supposing a porson oanld bo found wlioso character was perfect, would ttiey bo likely to waste their lives uway teaching dirty -laced, fiowsy-halrod cliildren? Such a course would at once ar (Tlio their lack of senso.

Ho "hired thin toachor and tho people arerilssalWilfiil;" whou all aro suited bin iiliiiMilf. And howls a person to help nonsuit? And when somo great, gawky Mx iotr comes to school and sits half hW days stsilug at the "school ma'am," with his goi sulHirrv ts, and tlio llttlo scholars go home at'd tell that "Jim's spiiiklnt; tho school ma'am," what is a person to do?

How I Lost My Heart. To tell yon Just how I lost it, Ob, that wore a difficult taskr Vow the thing got away on that autumn da? I never stopped to ask. Perhaps' twas a glance that did it,, A soft caress to my hair, A close warm grasp, or a gentle clasp, That captured it then and tht-rei You see, thero are things ynu can'govern,. nut nearly tiavn a way ortnetr own; Like birds they fly, and'you can't tell why lou only miss teem when gono. And why Ivdou't tell tho story, If tlio rnatnn von rallv must loam, Is, though life grew blight with a rosy light, Yet I won no heart In return. Somebody's eyes wero gentle and kind, Aud his voice was soft and low; But the heart I wanted'was givou away Ever so loug ago. And so, while I tolico a lonoly life With u ait and cup of toa. Somebody's nrin is round his wifo And hor babe is on his knee. And tho loss I met with results in this, That mine is n lonely part;. You can't for your lifo make a loving wife Of a woman without a heart, Anotherihnail rests on the manly breast That II wanted to shelter lae; Some other iair lace has woa my place, So no man's wife I'll be. But coaipensatio-j's a liw cf life, Aud though trials the gods will rend, I've no one tosccld when Ijisheofsteok'scold, A-iuVno small stockings to mend. So thp.t the Ioh that is lost I never regret, When I think wht my Iroubles njght beM When dinner isilate, I nruilo at tato, Antl'iiobody storms at me. Sems of Sengs Fa- Mixoff Ycices. A NEW MEUT.UY.

Whereupon Burrows pounded Knot into that state which would delight the oye, of a professional sausage maker. Knott sent in to town and swore out a com plaint against Burrows, charging him with assault with a duugetous weapon. Where upon Burrows came to town and copied Knott's complaint, simply changing the names. Tho case is to be tried before Jus tice Wills.

Weather and Crop. Tho weather, so far, during1 May has been colder than it was In April. For a day or so past it has not raiued, but: thero has not yet been a final clear-up of the skies. All late-sowed grain is re ported, from all parts of tbo valley, to be growing finely, and in the best possible condition. The fail wheat is rank, and! needs sunshine to give- it vigor. Th lower leaves are said to-be yellow, but that means nothing serious. Wars weather and sunshine will come soon enough and last long smough. Thero Is no reason to fear that any evil haa or will befall the growing crop. Mr. Sam Gull', of Dixie, is east of the mountains, curing the scab in sheep by his process which is advertised tn the Willamette Farmer.
