sspIassachusetts where she was.,,

When the Wings "redeem' the State they mean
to catch the little, stray urchin by the ear, shake
her some, to let her know who's got hold Of her,
and then take her 'sback again. to ,ohee she Das.
The Wings mean to do this, upon paternal princi.
pie. Having got rid of their former political princ
pies they intend to fall back upon the principles Of
nature, with which to restore, as father would
stray child, this 'shapless Commonwealth to its old
Whg crib and caude. The Wings, broaching this
idea Of bringing Massachusetts back to "Diere she
was," forcibly remind us of celebrated parent'
mentioned Gin history as "John Wilet Of the
May-pole Inn.' John had son Joseph, grown to
mans estate,, who was strapping youth, and per-
sonable and high spirited withal, whom his father
was always in the habit Of treating as child
John, although profoundly fat man, like certain
bunker politicians, and man to take two sides oil
an argument with the best doughface in Boston,
had always refused TO see that Joe had outgrowh
his pinafores and tights and The other profound
hunkers who drank Johns brown ale, laughed at
his jokes, and tackled well tickled bv his
arguments, refused to it also, until the indignant
Joseph knocked the head oil the tallcst one into
spttoon, and gave them to understand, by leaving
the "Maypole" and going ahead, that he was able
to walk without them. But the parable between
the Wings of Massachusetts and the folks of the
Maypoe Inn, does uot res, at this point Old John
looked upon Joe's emphatic demonstration of manly
independence, mere freak Of boyish petulance,
and he accordingly adyertized him, as child stolen
or strayed, and offered reward TO any one who
wonld bring him "back to where he was"
The Wings, smitten wth,th same obtusty from
similar causes, pursue the same course towards
Massachusetts, that John did towards Joe. Men

Phonetic method of teaching children to read and
spell, by an exhibition of the capacities of two
children, girls, of the respective ages of FIVE years
and ten mouths, and seven years, who have been
taught to read and spell, during the past year, by
means of the Phonetic alphabet. The children
were subjected TO rigorous tests in reading some
OF the most difficult passages in the English Ian
guage, and also in spelling, and the examination
was in the highest dacs-.s-- --a-.;-cete I1Eap---
trial of skill in spelling, according to the old
method, it appeared that the children taught by
the phonetic mode were as competent to spell any
word, and some thought more so, thanIther COM
petitors, several years older, who have been in
structed in our city schools, by the old method.
Altogether, the lecturesand exhibition were high

introducing it into school, at once in order to
