MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
HINTS TO NEW TEACHERS. 
The Michigan Journal of Education contains 
some important Hints to New Teachers—some that 
will prove of service to those just entering on the 
duties of their responsible profession.

LABOR AND THE LAW. 
Messrs. Eds. Although quite a Young Rwralist, 
I have perused every number of the Rurai, you 
have issued from the press; and should have been 
content to peruse the thoughts of others without 
obtruding any of my own, had I not noticed an 
article from the pen of Harry Harris. In that 
article he gives the challenge—throws down his 
iron gage, like Richard Cihurs dk Lion —and 
dares the farmers’ boys to raise it; threatening to 
annihilate them with a display of talent; and at 
the same time calling upon those who “ intend to 
enlist under the banner of att’y” to rally to tho 
combat. Well Harry, you have donned your hel¬ 
met and like Don Quixote, are out in quest of 
adventures. Like that renowned knight you don’t 
seem to be at all particular who or what shall be 
the object of your attack; whether it be a fulling 
mill or a flock of sheep; a traveling barber or a 
wimlmilL For your “ Dulcenia” you have chosen 
“ a professional life” and seem to be a little anxiouB 
to “ flesh your maiden sword” in the side of any 
young farmer that may not be of your own way of 
thinking. As you wish for it, if Mr. Moore will 
kindly give space, T, as a representative of the 
!■ Rural Districts, have no objection to measuring 
weapons with you. 
Before entering the lists for a tilt, allow me to 
say a word in reference to your stylo. A person 
who writes for the public must expect to be criti¬ 
cised; and, as Lord Byron says:

_ Save censure ; critics all are ready made.”
