Webb's Normal series.

Numbers one, two, three and four OF this
series of Readers have been laid on our table
by the gentlemanly agent, Mr.. A. W. Price
Of Cleveland. In the primary numbers Of this
series, we notice a new, and we think, an ex-
ceent feature. AT the head OF each reading
lesson, is placed in columns, all the words that
occur in the lesson which the pupil is requir-
ed to spell until the photography of each
word is thoroughly learned. The pupil is
also required to pronounce and 10 ennnciate,
correctly and distinctly at sight, and without
hesitation, each word, before proceeding TO
read. This, we think is an admirable ar
rangcment; and must, in great measure, if
not wholly obviate the ruinous articulation
which some children acquire by drawlng out
one word before making up their minds what
to call the next.
In the preface 10 number two occurs the
following truthful paragraph:
awe believe It better for child TO be a
good reader only, at the age Of fifteen, than
to be poor reader, and possess smattering
of all the branches Of common or ordinary
education. A good reader never fails to OBJ
tain knowledge poor reader ever fails TO
retain knowledge. We venture to say the
experience of every teacher in Ohio will cor
roboratc the truth Of this statement If there
is one trial in the experience of a teacher
more vexa lious than all others, 1t is that o.
having charge Of a class studying the !dngua'
ges or sciences who have never learned to read
--oniy TO pronounce words."
This volume commences with table Of the
elementary sounds and the marks of punctua
ton. in which so many of our scholars fail
The selection Of pieces we think judcious
though perhaps not superior TO many other
series now in use. The introduction Of music
is also new feature, and will, we think, be
pronounced very desirable one, by all whc
love cheerful faces and harmonious sounds.
\ There are some six or eight charts design
ed to precede the Readers, which we do no
hesitate TO sag ought to be every school room
We have not time nor space 70 describe them
We were presented with several other nev
and valuable books, which we will notice a

ES-This paragraph from the German,
most happily hits the attributes Of wife, mistress
and lady. 1t is just az true as writ:
"Who marries for love takes wife, who
inarries for consideration takes lady. You
are loved by your wife, regarded by your
mistrss, tolerated by your lady. You have a
wife for yourself, a mistress for your house
and its friends, a lady for the world. Your
wife will agree with you, your mistress will
accommodate you, your lady will manage you.
Your wife will take care of your household,
your mistress of your house, your lady OF
appearances. lfyou are sick, your wife will
nurse you. your mistress will visit you, your
lady will enquire after your health. You
take walk with your wife, a ride with your
mistress and join parties with your lady.
Your wife will share your grief, your mistress
your money, and your lady your debts
If you are dead, your wife will shed tears
your mistress lament, and your lady weal
mourning"

Mr.. DEMOCRAT. SIR:


You seem 10 be in "puck-
er" about some boilers from the Democratic
ranks. Now, sir, will try to explain the
thing 10 you even as 1t is:
Some twenty years since, some Of the most
iudicious men OF this nation began to think
and speak On the snbject of Temperance; and
in go doing, it became Necessary TO show forth
the evils Of intemperance. And from these
whole-souled men great light has sprung up
and two years since we Ohoans when voting
for or against the present good Constitution
had the privilege to vote for or against Ii
censc and the chief argument for no License
was, that if we said no License, that Inn
keepers could not say, you gave us License,
and now withhold it from US. {. e. when the
Prohibitory law should be enacted And we
Supposed that Mr.. Knapp was in favor of a
Prohibitory Law until he wrote TO poor drunk
en- Fremont to bestir themselves and remon-
strate, or the Maine Law would be passed in
spite of fate. Since then we, as true. and un-
daunted Democrats, have been pledging our
selves, publicly and privately, that we would
vote for no Representative unless he gave us
his honor that he was for Prohibtory Law.
And now, sir, can you, or any honest man in
this District any more blame us for not vo-
ting for the Democratic nominee when he
Dickinson, does not vouch his intention to &C
for Plohibitory Law. You would not give
us a man that we could vote for, and We are
used to voting and will not give it up while
life is extant, therefore, we have sorted out {
set Of men who are duly pledged, and have
proved themselves 10 be true by years of tri
al, labor and strife against king Alcohol.
In opposition to Dickinson, stands DR.. A
Coles A gentleman, Democrat, and
statesman, and we do verify believe Con
querer.
AS for Mr.. Worcester, he is first rate cit
izen, of good moral worth though Whig; bt
is statesman, and it is your fault that VT
support him, for your wire-workers would
give US none but a libeler. and the Court sale
perjurer, or one that could not be belieuet
under oath where interest counted on hi
purse.
Mr.. ORroN, Sir:-I should have written t
you, but your Platform Bawlers showed M
that you want no communications, that yol
are all yourself. This is but the first
