porticos just here facing the west here dan made a pentagonal addition to the western side of the diagram and two bay windows making two smaller pentagons and here should be the parlor and here the library and here the cool pretty little breakfast room where we could breakfast together so cosily minnie and i and dan smiled to himself at the charming picture his fancy had created 11 minnie might well have been proud of dan if she bad happened to see him just then for he was looking his best men always do when they are thinking such good pufe thoughts as filled dan berkleys mind thai day and dan berkley looking his best was not to be sneered at i assure you- it is not every day one meets such a handsome fellow or one so manly and noble ermina lovering thought so and when dan asked her to be his wife she very will ingly spoke the little word that made him happy if there was any one thing in which dan implicitly believed it was the goodness and sweetness and translucent loveliness of minnie lovering and it was one of min nies articles of faith that there never was a man so worthy of confidence as dan the one thing that stood in the way of their perfect happiness was dans lack of worldly wealth he could not afford to build a house and ermina was determined not to marry until they could begin life in a cozy independent home of their own the subiect was one of great anxiety to din he spent a greaffleal of time plan ning or contriving how he could raise money enough to build a cottage like ben morrills so now as he stood there planning out his house for the live hundredth time he grew so interested in it that he fell too thinking aloud and confided all his hopes to the carpenters benth and tools never dreaming tbat he had another audience how anould he know that uncle nathan hale had just composed himself for a snooze on the wide bench under the open window of his shop and was listening in tently to every word he said there was a suspicious moisture in uncle nathans eyes aud a suspicious quiver on his lips he was very fond of his nephew and his pretty fiancee and he thought it really too bad that they could not have their honse here ami quoth uncle nathan to himself worth a sflug fortune and no earthly use for it and really and then and there uncle nathan form ed a plan which he resolved to put imme diately into execution so he said to dan the next morning dan i want you to build a house for me abousefor you uncle nathan what in the world do you want of a house are you going to get married t that is none of your business said uncle nathan irascibly will you undertake the 30b or vroa you qf course replied dan who under stood the old gentlemans peculiarities vbut when where and how is it to be built j i want it to be commonoed righofi7 said uncle nathan decidedly nd i want it built on that corner lot of mine where the big elms stand that a fine building spot it is to be a cottage youve sajenenmetrm waftiiatiawtlfi onrjny cottage is

done as soon as possible call on me whenever you want funds expense is no object uncle nathan i do believe you are going to get married laughed the aston ished nephew uncle nathans eyes twinkled as he answered you baild me a pretty house an3 i promise you there shall be a pretty woman in it within a month from the day it is finished thai evibing dan told knnina about the cottage he was to build aud that he believed uncle nathan had matrimomal intentions whereat tlioy both fell to guessing whom he was about to marry dan guessed miss nancy dawes but min nie believed it was the widow banks so dan went to work at uncle nathans cottage he threw into it all the taste the pride the enthusiasm which he would have bestowed upon the ideal cottage of his own once in a while uncle nathan came to look at the building nodded approving ly and went away when at last it was all finiahtd and he had expressed himself delighted with it everybody who passed said it was the pret tiest house in town uncle nathan said to dan now i want it furnished i dont know the first thing about the furnishing of a house it takes woman for that so i want ermina lovering to select and arrange the fixings she has more taste than any woman i know except miss nancy dawes uncle na than slyly suggested dan miss nancy dawes be hanged ex- ploded the old gentleman whereat dan laughed and went on to tell ermina of uncle nathans desire and ermina with earttf biancat from uncle nathan went forth among the furniture dealers and presently te house vu all furnished from garret to cellar and uncle nathan came with dan and minnie to inspect it very good said he after a tour through the hoiise and now heres your pay handing dan a folded paper dan opened it it wai a deed of the cottage upni which nathan had bestowed the poetic name of elm lodge why why uncle nathan i what does this meanf i dan staring in bewilderment at the deed ermina peeped over his shoulder oh you darling uncle nathan she cried clapping her bauds you meant it for us all the time of course little witch smiled uncle nathan pulling her curls are you very much disappointed because i am not going to marry miss nancy or the widow v minnie testified her disappointment by throwing her arms around his neck and kissing him rapturously so after all dan and minnie were married very soon and began life in this ideai cottage moral education and art of teaching embarrassing a young lady was wheeling her married sisters twin babies along the street and a close observer could have noticed hey halt for a second appear embarrassed while a crimson blush mounted her cheeks she bsw coming up the street her old beau whom she had not seen for two years as he had been away of course the fellow naturally supposed his sweetheart had been married during bis absence so he began grinning as he drew near tipped his hat and passed qn congratulating himself on the fate he had escaped it is useless to attempt to describe the feelings of the young lady chicago herald for want of a latch an old stepladder lesson setting forth the sad import of little neglects isworth a thousand repetitions for want of a nail the shoe was lost for want of a shoe the horse was lost for want of a horse the rider was lost and all for tho want of a horseshoe nail that is said to be taken originally from actual history of a certain aidedecamp whose horse fell lame on a retreat and de layed him until the enemy overtook and killed him another actual case embodying the same lesson against the laiy and shiftjiwi habit of letting things go is related by the french political economist m say once at a farm in the country there was a gate enclosing the cattle and poultry which was constantly swinging open for want of a proper latch the expenditure of penny or two and a few minutes time would have made all right it was on the swing every time a person went out and not being in sstate shutreadily many of the poultry were from timeo time lost one day a fine young porker made his escape and the whole family with the gardener cook and millarlaijhurne out in quest of the fugitive the gardener was the first to discover the pig and in leaping a ditch toont off his escape he got a sprain tbat laid him op for ar fortnight the pjtoxetuiaaing to the farmhou found tbe linen burned she had bung up before tfeejittiory and tliemilkmaid living forgotten hi her haste to tie up the- cattle in the oo whonse found that one of the tecje cows had broken the leg of a oott that happened to bekept in the sanwahed twork- the following resolutions were adopted by h niton teacher b association at its last meeting as an expression of the views of the members of the association on moral education and the art of teaching the matter contained in the set of resolutions is so pure practical and instructive in character that we deem them worthy of a much wider circulation than would be obtained through the membership of the association alone and consequently give them a place in our columns we com mend a careful perusal and study of the resolutions not only by public school teach ers but also by sabbath school teachers and parents as well and we feel satisfied that all will be profited by such perusal i tflcthttlxtss whereas very loose ideas of truthfulness prevail in nearly all classes of society and the teacher has placed in his hands in mense power for cultivating a love of this virtue among his pupils and through them among the members of society whereas owing to inexperience thought lessness or bad uaining the child is very likely to attach little importance to this virtue whereas perfect discipline in school is not incompatible with those conditions which tend to promote the highest regard for truth be it resolved that the teacher is morally bound to strive to create and culti vate a healthy sentiment in regard to this virtue in his school a by having nothing in his discipline that would cause his scholars to err in this respect b by directly teaching them the importance of truthfulness not only as regards school life but also as regards their future welfare c by giving special attention to those forms of lying such as dissimulation ex aggeration which are even more prac tised in active life than direct mistatement ix jcsticx i whereas neither from his reason nor his experience can a child at first comprehend the obligation of honesty whilst his self- love prompts him to be very ihdiscriniinat- ing in gratifying his desire of possessing j3e it resolved that 1 it is the duty of the teacher a to see that the pupil is not left in the slightest doubt as to what acts render bisrttable to the charge of dishon esty bto instruct him that honesty is violated not simply when he lays hold openly oo what belongs to others but when he does a deed under the shelter of secrecy when he takes anything under what he knows to be ita value when he injures through carelessness what he has borrowed when he keeps possession of any thing he has found without trying to find the owner etc cj to cause him to understand in what a violation of the- principle consists and that it loses none of its character on account of the trifling value of the article or on account of its owner but that it lies in the inward spirit which prompts the act d to show in his whole manner of dealing with his pupils that he expects them to exhibit this virtue towards himself and towards one another 2 a thai the teacher should not fix suspicion of oishonesty on any pupil but wait for proof and then take decided measures and express clearly the pain he feels on learning that one has transgressed 6 that the teacher should suspend the confidence hitherto accorded the transgres sor until the pupils subsequent conduct shows that he has risen from his fall 3 that the teacher should regard the delivering up of found property as an ex hibition of this virtue involving a greater exercise of selfdenial than accompanies the ordinary observance of honesty that he should be careful to commend such action on the part of a pupil and should exemplify it in his own conduct by making strict search for the owner of all property found and which comes into his possession and should in no case appropriate it to himself that he should not aim at merely getting the property restored by violence or coax ing but should endeavor to cultivate the spirit of honesty dx cutdob whereas candor which affects not only our own character but that of our neighber also is violated wheft we refuse to his act the most favorable construction they admit of when we depreciate his talents attain ments or motives or when we misrepre sent his opinions in any way by exaggera tion or suppression of some essent part or reporting them ont of their connection be it resolved that the teacher in his discipline should be careful to give his pupils fell credit for what they do and to refrain trem coloring or falsely stating any faults of which they have been guiltvy and any exhibition of this virtue by the pupil should he noticed with approbation iv kumioms bait resolved that in iwralcatmg kind ness the feelings of benevolence and justice should be excited as these virtues add greatly to the pupils own happiness and that of those with whom h oomafso on- and result from wrong treatment skid may be orercome by appeals to hit forti tude and endurance and by placing good examples before him j 2 whereas peevishness is a similar misfortune arising from ijlhoalth or lack of spirit and bad home training 8 whereas violence of temper is a fault often growing out of frankness aafkindred virtues and if not checked ends in oppo sition to proper authority be it resolved that qutnhnmtu is to be treated first as a failing to be oorrectedvy private warning and counsel by example and strong appeals to self- respect that pttvishntu should be dealt with as a result of ih health and lack of child spirit by stirringamftj with spirited stories of character to be imitated that viclenct ahouldbe checked in a quiet and dignified spirit that appeal should be made to power of selfgovernment and the consequences of the violent action should be pointed out and contrasted with the right action vil modesty t resolved a that the principles of mod esty must be impressed on pupils while they are young to secure the fruits of humility and prudence in tnaturcr years that
