It is now in its place in the Engine house, King Street, ready for work, As regards workmanship and apparent strength it is very superior, and reflects great eredit on the manufacturers as well as tho Chief Kogineer; who selectéd the design, The reel has a capacity of holding eleven hundred feet of hose. It is supported on an angle iron body eased by double Dexter springs at sides and rear, and single forward. The wheels are of the kind known as Sarven’s patent, letter A, (the best manafactured) with steel axles. A seat for driver and pipeman is in a good | position in front, while at the rear is a stand fora hoseman, Ateach side of the forward seat are convenient stands for nozzles, and under it a gong to announce the coming or arrival of the reel. The whole is tasvefully painted in red and green, and presents a very line appearance. We learn that the stock — springs, wheels, etc.—for the reel, was bought of Messrs.

New Steamer Lost—Lives Lost.

Sackvitur, Dee. 4.

The particulars of the loss of the new steamer are as follows :—She was built by O'Brien, at Maccan, N. 8 ,for the Dominion Government to take place of the ‘‘Glendon” sold last year. She was launched on Satur- day last, taken by a tug to Wood Point near Sackville, and there delivered to the Government steamer ‘‘Newfield.” The “Newfield” was to take her to Halifax where she was to be fitted up. When the ‘‘Newlfiela” and her tew were near Digby Gut the hawser suddenly parted, and in the darkness of the night and height of the storm, the unmanageable hull was driven against a square bluff reck near Prim Point light entrance of Digby Gut. Captiin D. M. Brown, Superintendent of Light houses, and seven others were drowned— they being on board the new ship. Two men—a Dane and a sailor named Soi-——got ashore, all right, and it is from them the particulars are learned. Nothing has since been heard of the ‘‘Newfield.” Captain Brown belonged to Halifax,where he leaves a wife and children.

For Teachers and Parents.

A METHOD OF TEACHING TRUTHFULNESS,

That there is in the mind of every pupil a greater or less resistance to evil tenden- cies, | thoroughly believe; yet before the teacher can render successful aid to his re- sistance she must understand the mental condition which makes temptation possible. Fear of consequences simply postpone the gratification of a propensity; it does not divert or strengthen the will. Satan first inclines the mind, then fortifies it with reasons, and | merely give him his dues when I add that he isa very active edu- cator. We cannot do better than to adopt a method so successfully misapplied to our own uses. | shall not soon forget the sudden gleam of intelligence upon the face of alittle fellow. ten years of age, whom | had occasion to reprimand for an attempt to copy from a neighbor's siate, when he saw his act in its true light. After some litile talk, in which he acknowledged that he could not learn by copying, I asked, ‘‘What do you snppose 1 gave you that question for, Heary—the answer !” **T always thought that it was the answer you wanted,” he replied. ‘‘There you make a great mistake. The answer is of no consequence to me at all, if you do not comprehend it. The example was given that [ might see whether you could reason it out or not. Instead of showing me that you understand it, you bring to me Johnny H.'s work, which only proves that Johnny understands the ex- omple, if youdo not. Now, who is going to tell me whether Henry understands or not, if he takes care of his neighbor and neglects himseli' ?”

TRAINING V8, TELLING.

In intellectual teaching, a child may com- mit to memory the whole rules of English or Latin grammar, and may be able to re- peat every example and answer every query contained in the book itself, thor- oughly and correctly; and thus far he shows the extent of his instruction or teaching The child is only under training, however, when he is put to the work of ap- plying these rules to the formation or a sentence in speaking or writ- ing; and it is evident that a per son well taughtia the rules may be ex- ceedingly ill-trained, or not trained at all, to the practice of speaking or writing grammatically, Ere the child, therefore, is a trained grammarian, his mind must be made to bear upon the subject—he must understand it. and actually apply for him- self the rules of speaking and writing cor- rectly.—David Stow,

DISCIPLINE.

Never threaten, or scold. Never say, ‘John, if you don’t stop that [ shall pun- ish you severely.” Or, having been so unwise and hasty as to declare an intention to punish, do so. Your failure to carry out your threat will convince the children that you are infirm of purpose and un- truthful, and they know by instinct that weakness or falsity can be imposed upon by the daring or disorderly with impunity. Scolding and fretting and impatience are also indications of weakness, and the child who is not tempted by them to trespass on rules afresh is a very exceptional child, indeed.

The general rules of discipline may be varied somewhat for the different classes of children found in different localities, but the qualities they demand in the teacher are in the main always the same. Firmness is needed, also kindness, and absolute self- control. ‘‘Let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay.” Mean what you say, and say what you mean, Seek for a wise and tem- perate theory, and follow it up with a sensible, consistent practice, and the pro- balities are that your difficulties in dis- ciplinary werk need no longer imperil your happy success.—Present Age.
