They have a teacher can be taught by any of his class, whoso rmities and weakness sometimes cause him to tremble at the post of duty and yet with all his imperfection* they lata lmrna with him for more than three years, and on Mon day evening last extended to him a token of their love and esteem which memory will en shrine in Iter most sacred and hallowed clois ters. The presentation of the gift wa» made the occasion of an agreeable surprise party to the humble domicile of the teacher. In a handsome and feeling speech one of the mem b rs of the class presented to the surprised teacher, in Itchalf of the class, an elegant marble-top bat tree. The response was feeble but well meant. We know of hut one man who made a good speech on such an occasion, and lie kept his mouth shut. The evening after this was given up to social enjoyment and congratulations. These are the bright spots in life. They do not come often, but when they visit us they bring a blessing that remains ever fragrant. rl lie magnificent gift presented on the evening referred to forms the outward sign or token ot a bond of union between teacher and scholars that can never be broken. The eye may grow dim with age, the intellect become clouded, the limbs infirm and refuse to fulfill tiieir office, and the heart finally and forever cease its pulsations, but this friendship will have just^begun to live when the borders of time are reached.
