HypocRIsY.-The cant Of the federal
newspapers about these days, with regard to
removals from Office, is truly amusing. This
lying fraternity before the election charged
upon Mr.. Polk every thing with which a
traitor to his country could be subject. His
father and grandfather were represented as
black hearted tories, and the derisive cpl
thet of Old Zcke'' was as pat in the
mouth Of coon blackguard as was the Jack
of Spades in the hands of Mr.. Clay; while
Mr.. Polk himself was upbraided as the TOOL
of the old hero of the Hermitage, and as
one possessing no qualifications for the pre-
sidency. But now the tune is changed, and
the same hungry, cringing, fawning tools,
seek 10 obtain favor at the hands Of the man
whom they have thus abused, and pray that
their friends may be suffered TO retain place
obtained by virtue of the hard cider CAM
,,aiEa. Such sycophancy, and low, degra-
ding, selfish meanness is beneath contempt.
We sincerely hope Mr.. Polk will duly ap-
preciate the disinteresed motives Of these
patriotic scoundrels, and reward them as
they best deserve. We admire the man
who boldly advances and proclaims his OPT
Mons, but scorn him who seeks, by fawn-
ing upon power to retain place of trust
within its gift. Such is the part only of a
slave.-Dayton Empire

The GREAT PUzzLE.-To the uninitiated amono
,ne wings, as well as among the democrats, the
Bank scheme of KELLEY and HARRINGTON appears
to be the most ingenious puzzle of the 10Th CEN
tury. A writer in the Cercland (whig) Herald
suggests the getting up commentary on this
law, like Story on the Constitution He thinks
the work " need not exceed SEVEN VOLUMES of GOO
pages each;' and that :" our whig legislators
would probably become liberal subscribers to the
work." This is an excellent hit at the stupid
coons in the legislature who went it blindn un-
der the lead Of ALFRED Kelley.
Another writer in the same paper acknowledge
eshimsef very essentially nonplused in his efforts
TO "get into common sense EngSh'' the 62d
section. He suggests that " some boy be put in
to mcsmeric sleep and let us know what the
compiler Of that section meantn
These ominous mysteries and puzzles will soon
be solved Time will soon simplify them to the
understanding Of every democrat and whig in
Ohio who HAS pocket to feel We suggest the
following Interpretation of the law, for the benefit
of those enquir ing and simple koons who profess
to be so utterly in the dark;
Be it enacted by The General Assembly Of The
State Of Ohio, That King Kelley, Prince Farring-
ton, and the officers of the Ohio Life Insurance
ana trust Company, are hereby created body
polite and corporate and declared to be released
from all those obligations, which, as citizens,
they owe the State.
Sec. Q. That said corporators shall be invested
with the legislative and executive functions of
this State, and that they are hereby authorized
to regulate their own gauge for swindling.
The above embraces all the intents and purpo-
ses Of the scheme "in nut-shol." Senator Eek

have no doubt of his qualiications-that to examine
him would be a mere ceremony, and that it is not con-
venient, or they had not time to do it just then,- that
the certificates he already has are perfectly s~atisfacto-
ry,-that after he commences his school, ifhe wishes,
they will give him a certificate; and thus, by a multi
tude of fair promises and fattering compliments, he IS
induced to rely upon the hope that il will make no diff
ference; and this hope may be strengthened by the fact
that one or more of the experimenting committee may
be on the prudential committee, and may be the very
individuals who employ him, He commences his
schools highly a~pplauded and universally approved
as a capable and judicious teacher. His praises are
sounded on every hand. By and by the current turns,
for there nav he a rIm hole in the district, a resort for
numbers, both young and old. The teacher is pres
emily called upon to advocate publicly the cause of
temperance. He complies, and the votaries of alcohol
receive from his mouth q most scathing rebuke. Their
wrath is reused and revenge is tie word. The com
mittee themselves may be among the regular custom
ers of the rmseller. They know the fact that the
teacher has no certificate. With the money in their
hands, they refuse to pay. The teacher sues, and the
district, controlled by the rum influence, goes to court
and takes advantage of his want of a certificate, and
without a blush of shame, plead it successfully as a bar
against his claim, But some honest mind would say,
This is avery small hole for an upright man, who walks
erect, to creep through! But small as it is, a whole
district does not hesitate to rush through, in defiance
of the scorn and contempt of all honest men! lie who
supposes to the contrary, knows but little of the work
ings of human depravity. He knows not how supreme
ly base men can be, when actuated by selfinterest,
malice, and revenge combined.
All laws should guard as much as possible against
probable contingencies where justice may be wrested
from its legitimate course, and imquity and fraud and
injustice be established in its place on a basis immov-
able.
With the best interests of our schools at heart, !
cannot but hope that any and all legislation in relation
t. them, will be wise and judicious; and that such laws
will receive the universal sanction of the peolpe ofthis
State.
Respectfully, &c. All. B.

A Fathers care for his Son.

Beautiful and becoming in the eyes Of the
paternal God, is the unwearied attachment of
the parent to the child Alas! how little does
the minimizing spirit Of youth know of the ex-
tent of its devotedness, There sits the forward,
%fretful, indoIent boy. The care that keeps per-
petual watch over his moral and physical safety,
he misnames un just restriction. The foresight
that denies itself many a comfort to provide for
his future wants, he denounces as sordid ava
rice. He turns from his fathers face in cold
ness or in anger. Boyl Boy! the cloud upon
that toil-worn brow has been placed there by
anxiety-not for self, but for an impatient peev-
ish son, whose pillow he would gladly strew
with roses, though thorns should thicken around
his own,-Even at the moment when his arm is
raised to infict chastisement on thy folly, thou
shouldst bend and bless thy parent. The heart
loathes the hand that corrects thy errors; and
not for worlds would he use 'the rod Of re-
proof" did he not perceive the necessity Of
crushing his own feelings, to save thee from
thyself-AmuLct.

Passion and Prayer
OR THE REASON WHY PARENTS LOSE
THEIR INFLUENCE.
A.. B.
Enosburgh, Oct. 18th, 1915.


One defect spoiIs the beauty of a piece of
mechanism, and one rlult oripples the influence
Of a parent. The most prominent reason we
know Of, why religious parents are often with
out successful moral influence over their chill
dren is; because they don't take care Of their
temper, They teach well, pray well, advise
well, but a pad temper neutrallzes all.
Fathers cross p said a little girl to her
eldest sister one day, after being Corrected
That impression outweighed all consideration Of
her own fault in that chlId's mind. If she had
committed one wrong, her father Ind done an
other, and why should she be punished Take
another fact: A man Of very sensitive feelings
prayed one morning with deep emotion in his
iamil y-emotion amounting to tears; for he was
a very feeling man. Rising from his knees he
went out at the back door, and 10! a sight which
transformed his very pious feelings into PASSION.
His boy ice had left the swilI pail at the door,
and during breakfast the COW had kicked it over
and broken it. Flying into a whirlwind of pas
sion, he kicked poor brindle, cuffed his forgetful
boy Joe, and fell into a most g~raceless frame of
mind. Alas, for such a parent? Even poor
brlndIe herself would almost pronounce his re-
I;gion a form, and as for the boy Joe, he could
but fancy his father "A hypocrite, while smarting
under the strokes of his angry-cuffs, with the
echo Of the morning prayer still lingering in his
ears. What wonder il that boy should reject

Work for Children.

There is no greater defect in educating chill
dren than neglecting to accustom them to work.
1t is an evil that attaches mostly TO large towns
and cities. Children suffer much from it. The
parent never considers whether the child's work
is necessary or not to the child, Nothing is
more uncertain than their future independence
and comfort-much depends upon their being
accustomed to wolk-accustomed to provide for
the thousand constantly recurring wants that
nature entails on US.
If this were not so, still it preserves them
from bad habits; it secures their health; it
strengthens both the mind and body; it enables
them better to bear the confinement Of the pent.
up school room; and ii tends more than any
thing else to give them just and proper views Of
life.
1t is too often the case that children, provided
they spend half a dozen hours of the day at
school, are permitted to spend the rest as they
please. Thus they grow up in the world, with
out any knowledge Of its tolls and cares: they
view it through a false medium; they cannot
appreciate the favors you bestow, as they do not
know the tolls they cost: their bodies aud minds
are enervated, and they are exposed to what
ever vicious associations are within their
reach.
The daughter, probably, becomes that pitia'
bic, helpless object, a novel-reading gill. The
son, if he surmounts the consequences of your
neglect, does it, probably, after his plans and
station for life ale fixed, and when knowledge.
for one of its important objects, comes, alas! toe
