{" -COMINGS."

his is rather an out-landIsh word,
which, we believe, has no dwelling
place in the dictionary, and yet is a
word almost every where at home, in
public confessions ana petitions. The
following incident was related a few
months since, at social meeting in
Boston. In certain village in Eng
land, lived two brothers by the name
of Cummings. One of them was
quite tall, and the other quite short
man.
The difference in their sizes furnish
ed very convenient sobriquet to dis
tlngulsh them, and among their fell
low villagers were universally known
as "Long Cummings" and "Short
Cummings" One Sabbath stranger
minister preached in the place, and du-
ring his prayers in the morning service
he more than once prayed for the
''pardon Of our shortcomings" At
this expression several efthe congrega-
ton looked at each other as if surpris.
ed, and at the close of The service some
of them went to the minister, and We
ny inocently inquired what Short
Cummings had been doing? as he was
considered very nice man, and they
had never heard any thing so very bad
of him. Chris. Secretary.

tention should be paid to comfort, con-

tention should be paid to comfort, con-
venience and neatness.
In the first place, they should be
large enough to accommodate the
school without crowding, the ceiling
should be sufficiently high, and means
provided for perfect ventilation. If
the air in the school room be confined,
it will soon become impure, the teach
er and pupils will be rendered Ianguid
and drowsy, the exercises ofthe school
will lose their interest and effect, and
the health of the inmates will even.u-
ally suffer The seats should be COM
Portable and the desks neat and con-
venient, which will not only promote
the enjoyment Of the pupils, but con-
tribute to the order Of the school and
the preservation of it's furnitare.
If a case were provided for collec-
ton of minerals, and a small amount
expended for pair of globes, an ORE
ry, and few other articles of moder-
ate cost, it would contribute to the ad-
vancement of the pupils in "physical
science" which the law requires to be
taught in schools.
School libraries would be most eff
fclent auxiliary to the advancement of
knowledge, and such has been the re-
ductlon in the price of books that they
can now be furnished exceedingly
cheap. There is no legal provision
authorizing the application Of school
funds to such purposes, nor would it
be expedient at present, but it is not
improbable that voluntary associations
will be formed in many school districts
to supply this want as soon as thirst
70: knowledge becomes more generally
dlfused among the people. The Leg
islature of New York appropriated
100000 per annum during the years
1888 and 1899, to the purchase of
school Libraries, which was distributed
among the school districts in rateable
proportions, on condition that an equal
amount should be raised by the people
in each district.

A SPEECH OF GEN. EUNCCM.

The following is an extract from
a speech of Gen. Buneum in favor Of
81 40:
"Mr. Speaksr-When F open my
eyes, and look over the vast expanss
Of this country-when | see how the
yeast of freedom has caused it to rise
in the scale ofcivifization and expand
on every side-when see 1t grow
ing, swelling, roaring like spring
freshet-I cannot resist the idea, sig.
the day will come when this great ma
ton, like young school boy, viii
burst its straps, and become entirely
too big for its boots. Sir, we want
elbow room-the continent, the whole
continent, and nothing but the CONT
nent-and we viii have it. Then
shall Uncle Sam, placing his hat upon
the Canadas, rest his right arm upon
Oregon and California coast, his lefs
upon the eastern seaboard, and white
away the British power, while reposieg
his leg, like freeman, upon Cape
Horn! Sir, the day will-the day must
come"

wealth has fallen in the rear of many
of her lister States in the march of i'm
provenant, trust the stigma is about
to beefemoyed,- AN awakening inter
I est bgins to be felt,--a few counties
thavegallantly come forward to encoun-
ter he hosts of ignorance and preju-
dic,,~-others will follow your noble
example, and we may yet live to see
the day when a glorious victory vii!
beachieyed.
Net US consider the nature Of this
peaceful contest in which we are en-
gagged. How different its character
and its results from those which are
wont to agitate the political world
We seek not to aggrandize one State
or Nation at the expense of another
but 10 extend the boundaries of science
ard to diffuse the benefits of knowl-
edge. We would not desire to dimin-
ish the power or prosperity of our
neighbors- but by elevating the mas
SEES Of the community around us, and
inducing them to cultivate their intel
lectual and moral faculties, we increase
their happiness and lay wide and deep
the foundations Of national prosperity.
# we fail in this attempt, we shall at
leaaenjoy the satisfaction of having

than to rest in upAman(ifference- but
if We succeed. as | h>1a, we will, we
shall cali down upon US the blessings
Of the poor, and cause the widows
heart to sing for joy. We are accus-
toned to hear the present age spoken
Of as being characterized by the tri-
umphs of the human mind. Let US
enquire in what does the greatest of
these triumphs consist Is it in the
construction of machinery BY which the
