''NEvER FoReEr THY MorHER."-The editor of
the Lawrence Courier, referring to the death of
Hon. John Davis, remarks, that he owed much to
the personal suggestion and advice of the ex-Gov-
ernor kindly and earnestly bestowed in earlier
days, and adds: "The last counsel we received
from him was characteristic Of the man; it was on
the deck Of a vessel that lay with loosened sails
and shortened cable that we, still in boyhood COM
mencing years of toll and hardship, received part
ing grasp of his pure hand with these words =
: God bless you +! Remember 'chat Tee said and
wherever you 90, NEVER FORGET THY MOTHER !"
What better charge could be given to lad launch
ing forth on lifes deceitfu tide" when the chart
and compass Of his young head and heart must be
his only protection from shipwreck. Many years
have passed away, and that good man has finished
the voyage Of time; he has disappeared adown the
dark stream Of death, and, we doubt not, has
reached that celestial heaven, where the storms of
earth are never known, and has exchanged the
anchor symbol which he ever carried at the PROV
during life, for blissful realization"

Mrs Bruff, child and servant, Mime. L. Cherot and

THE R,aHrs OF SCHOOL MASTERS AND PAR

THE RIGHTS OF SCHOOL MASTERS AND PARENTS.
A citizen of Newtown, Massachusetts, was tried
on Saturday last, for assailing public school
teacher at Cambridge. The school master had
been in the habit of keeping defendants child in
after hours, with others, who missed their lessons.
The parent believing the detention Illegal went for
the child after regular hours, and the teacher re-
fused to give her up until she had recited her
lesson. The parent attempted to enter the school
room, and being resisted by the school masters
assaulted him. The court ruled that the keeping
of child until the lesson of the day had been per-
fected was legal that the parent in attempting to
enter the school ROOM in opposition to the will Of
the master, was in the wrong; that child placed
at school by the parent is under the control Of the
master, until regularly dismissed; and thata parent
cannot withdraw the child from school during the
day against the masters will, except through the
Intervention of an officer and the school committed.
The defendant was fined $50 and cost.
