SCHOOL IMPRIsoNMENT.-Custom haSNmaoe
it appear tolerable to confne innocent CPL
dren of four, five, six, or seven years of age
to a high bench, without any back, in a heat
cd school-room, from eight to ten hours a
day where they inhalc an impure air in
their lungs, v%itiating and rendering impure
the current of blood at an age of intense yet
delicate vitality. In this way the seeds of
incurable disease are sown an the mind of
the child prejudiced against schools and
knowledge. This punishment is deemed
necessary that the child may learn to spell
baker, 'briar,' pony velvet rabbit
etc. and be informed in due time that ba-
kers bake bread and cakes-a briar is very
sharp-a pony is a very small horse-velvet
is very soft to the feel-rabbits have large
ears so that they can hear we'll, &C.; and at
the same time learned men are prating about
science, reform, progress and civilization !
We are a great and wonderful people! X

@a-A SECRET FOR THE LADIES-HOW
To PRESERVE BEAUTY.-Don't use Chalk,
Lily White, or any of the so-called cosmetics, to
conceal a faded or sallow complexion.
If you would have the roses brought back 70
your cheek, a clear, healthy and transparent skin,
a bottle of Carriers Spanish Mixture, and take it
according to directions. 1t does not taste as well
as your sweet-meats; but, if after a few doses
you do not find your health and beauty reviving,
your step elastic and vigorous, the whole system
refreshed and inyograted like a Spring morning,
then your case is hopeless; and all the valuable
certificates we possess, do fer naught. 1t is the
greatest purifier of the blood known is perfectly
harmless, and at the same time powerfully efica-
cious. See advertisement. 37-4t

HEAVY Losses BY GAMBLING. 1t was cur

a member of an influential family in this
city, had lost, within a short period, nearly
$500 900 at one of the gambling bells of st.
Louis. The notes given by him in payment
had been paid by his family. 1t is to be
hoped that the Mayor may be enabled to
break up every den of this kind within the
