A greeable to the protnlsfi I made yoa
in my last article, I will proceed to lay
before your readers the system cr p!an
by which we propose to supply the peo ple
of Nebraska, with the Bible, ei'.her
by sale or gift. '
The American Bible Society generally
Uvorks through its auxiliaries, of which
he Nemaha County Bible Society is one
being now the Depository at the Drug
Siore of W. H. M'Creery in this city.
It is true, the American Bible Society
employs a'number cf agents to look after
its in terest, and the general circulation
of its Scripture. " They rely mostly upon
theccoperation of the friends of the
cause and auxiliaries to assist in this great
work.
We propose first to organize an Aux
illiary Bible Society in each county in
the Territory, (where it is practicable to
de so,) and in the next place to organ
ize a Branch Bible Society in e&ch town
or precinct auxiliary to the county, or
ganization with the Treasurer of which
a small quantify of Bibles and Testa
mfnts is left for the supply cf the fam
ilies within its jurisdiction.
The officers of an Auxiliary Society
usually consist of a President, three
Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Treasurer,
and Depository, with three Directors.
These constitute an Executive com mittee
who have the management of the Soci
ety.nd are elected by the Society annu
ally. ' The officers of a Branch Auxiliary
Society consists of a President, Vice
President, Secretary, Treasurer, and
Depository, with a number of persons
appointed as local agents or Bible visitors.
One or more in each school district or in
cities, to district the place so the labor
can be performed by one or two persons.
The duty of a local agent is to visit all
the families jn their district, to supply
all destitute with the Bible and all chil
dern that can read the New Testament
(making ho distinction of party or sex)
either by sale or gift, to solicit and re
ceive all the contribu!ion3 the friends of
the cause see fit to give to'aid the work.
When the canvass is finished, make re
turns to the treasurer, of the number and
value oT books sold and given; number
of families visited, wi'h those destitute
and supplied ; also pay over to him the
amount of money contributed.
This canvass is repeated each year,
and thus it can b$ seen that every family
i? reached yearllfter'year and kept sup
plied with the Scriptures.
This system has been in operation in
the Siatfc of Illinois for eighteen years,
and ha been approved by those who un
derstand it to be the best ever-yet adopt
ed to carry oa this good work.
Many thanks, Mr. Editor, for your
kindness in giving place in your columns
for the several articles from my pen up
on this subject ; and in conclusion, I would
ask :he aid of every philanthropic lover
of his country, and friend of humanity in
this great and good work until all are
supplied with the word or God.
Yours Reep'y,
A. RT MOSIIER,
A?ent for the A. B. S. .
. A Missouri Seliocl-ilastcr.
The rural dutricis develope some odd
and rare cnaracters. Prufoubd ignorance;
is sometime to be pnued. wLiitj at eta
er tuiies it assume such a grotesque
and ludicrous character mat it would ex
cite tne merriment ct old Cerberus him
self. We have lately corns into tha possess
ion ot tne tacis of a case wiiithlruuspired
tointwU'ere in Southern Missouri, tliAt
are too good to go unchronicleJ.
A certain "Knight of me Birchen
Rod," .wishing to obiam a certificate as
school-teacher, as required by iLe general
statutes ol Missouri, called upon the su
perintendent of public schools, "cot loug
since, when the loUoVing dialogue took
, .... '
place.: ..1.-.
"Morning, Mr. Snperintendent."
Good morning, sir;. take a chair,"
"You see, Mr., I'm a schoJii it out
m my settlement, and have b;en for ris
in filteea year, and 1 want a stilficateto
keep a dom."- . .
"All rhti sir, I am ready to grant
the certificate, but belore doing so 1 must
examine you as to your competency."
'Now look a here, 'taint no ue fur to
zamine me, fur as I said afore, I've been
schoohn' 1; rism' fifteen year." -. .. .
"Yes, sir,.th.at may all be, but the law
requires me to examiue you before issu
ing the certificate, and I mui do my
duiv." -; ' -
" 'Taint no use I never wi3 zlmined
in this way, Rnd 1 have a heap of atitii
cates and can fetch 'em in to you."
"Never mind the certificates ; you must
be evxamined as to your qualifications, or
the certificate cannot issue,"
"Well but it's nary bit of use I
have been "
'Never mind that; what branches do
you teach in your school ?"
"O, readin' spellin' writia and figer-
m
"Is that all?"
'Yes: the folks out there don't want
anything else. They're dowu on high
schooliu'." . :
"Don't you teach grammar ?"
4,0, no; the folks are down on gram
mar larnin1.,,
"Don't seme of your scholars want to
study gramme ?"
"Nary one. But five years ago one cf
old man Hamphill's gals tuck a notion to
studdy grammer, but in about two. weeks
she'jrm it up."
"Well it is necessary that ycu, as a
teacher, should have knowledge cf gram
mer. and I must examine you in that
branch.'V
"Well, now. that's no use the folks
don't want that kind of larnin'."
Very likely : but ;an you tell me how
many parts of speech there are?"
"Well, now ; let me see ; I'll declare
it has slipped my memory,-1 don't just
recollect. But unyhow grammer ia su-perflw-ous."
'
Can't you give a guess."
"Well, I should say about two."
'That won't do; guess agairtr.'
'Well, at furdest I should say four.'
'Are you sure V
'Weil, as near as I can recollect, it
mcught be, and it moughtent.'
Now, sir, tell me what i3 English
Grammar
2'
s near as I can recollect, it's a smal
lish book, 'bout so lonz, (measuring with
his hand) and 'bout a half ioch thick.
Did you ever see Ktrkhim or Pinney ?'
No, sir, they never lived ia cur set
tlement.' Do you know anything aboot Bullion
or Smith?'
Oh, yes; I've hearn tell a heap of
Old Bullion, but I never have saw him.
I voted for him onct, but he took the abo
lition chute arterwards, and I wa3 pow
erful sorry 'I voted for him. As for
Smith, he lived across the run, 'bout two
mies from my house. His boys go to
school to me.'
Very well. What is geography V
Don't use any ia my school, but if I
disremember, I seed some in; town, and
they were about the size of a chunck of
shingle.'
Which is the largest ri?er in the
wcrld.'
'The Mississippi, of course.'
What is the shape of the earth ?'
Well, in our region it's right smart
hilly, but. further down it's flit and
swampish.'
'Which is the highest mountain ia the
world ?'
'Pilot Kncb.'
'Very well. Now sir, you say that in
your fchool you only teacn spelling,- rea
tlinp;; writing and arithmetic'
No, sir, I didu't say I learns 'em rea
din'. writin', and figeriaV
Exactly; now, after your scholars
have gone through the spelling-book and
reader what do you do?'
'I turns em back.
So you keep them at the sama books
all the time ?' "
Yes. sir. there's nothin' like layin the
foundation-well. aDd turns 'em back till
they finishes there schoulinV
'Just so. Now, sir, it seems to me
that you are a little rusty in some cf the
branches, and before I can give you a
certificate, you must study a little and
beccm? better posted.'
'Now I don't see as I can, fur I'vo got
a power cf work on hand, and the old
woman has a risin' cn her finger, and

THE EXGLNE-DIilYE
"I believe, engine-drivers, as a body,
are the healthiest fellows aiie ; but ihey
don't live loug. The cause of thr.t I be
lieve 10 be the cold food, aod the shaking.
By the cold food, I mean that an engino
driver never gets his meals' comfortable.
He's never at home to his dinner. When
hd starts away the first thing ia the mor
ni.tg, hz takes a bit of coid meat anj a
piece cf bread with him for his dinner ;
utd generally he has to eat it in the shed,
for he must not leave his engine. Yoa
can understand how the jelting and sha
king knocks man up, after a b;e.
The insurance, companies won't tike us
at ordinary rates. Ve'rs obliged to hi
p0res:ers, or Old Friends, cr that sen cf
thing, where they aiu't so particular.
The wages of an engine-driver average!
about eight shillings a day, but if he's a
good- scnemer wuh his' coals y2j, I
mean if he economizes his coals he'3
allowea so mucn more. Some will make i
from nte to to ten shuhns a week thit
way. - 1 don't complain of th? wares nar-
licular ; but it's hard lines with such as
us, to have

income tax. Th3
company gwes aa account of all our wa
ges, and we have to py. It's a shame.

The thoughts cf an engine-driver never
go behind his engine. It he keeps his
engine all right, the couhec behind will
be all right, as far as the driver is con
cerned. But once I did think cf tha pas
