ly to cripple and embarrass liberal effort, or in
terfere between you and the completion of en-
ligbtened schemes.
Readily can true and equal value of all pro-
perty, real or personal, be obtained; all sources
| OF revenue estimated, and easily can an annual
or more frequent adjustment of such values be
made so that the portion proper for educational
purposes can readily be designated The State
can, as all States oughtto, be organized as one
school district. All colleges, academies, and
more humble schools and Summaries, should be
free to every child and youth of the State to en-
ter tor instruction, and not single individual
permitted to become a fully obligated and privi-
legged citzenuntil satisfactory evidence of fitness
is given. With free institutions of learning this
demand is right and reasonable not only, but
teachers and taught become more sensible that
they are the property of the State, and especially
the former bound to be ready at any time and at
all places for service A competent not money
making salary, is to be given to each teacher, for
which he is TO devote all his time and give all his
energies to the dschorge of duty. If successful
this year in KENOSHA, RACINE or some other
field of labor should, if deemed best, be assigned
him the next. In like manner should the female
teacher itinerate when deemed advisable for the
public good. Much easier is it for the teacher to
carry his or her services to the insulated and less
wealthy and well-accommodated neighborhoods,
than it is for all the children in these neghbor-
hoods to resort to the skilled and experienced
instructor. Always will there be difference be-
tweenthe talents of teachers, but never win there
be a teacher so humble as not to excel the most
SNOWY in some things.
1t is not possible for any one to excel in all
things. For instance, popular as may be your
teacher, he is most likely to have overlooked
things which another will gather up while the
new fields of both will call into exert fresh APP
pliances and renewed energies. ButJ must pause,
as all this proceeds ON the presumption that each
individual feels himself obligatedto live and work
for Others not less than for himself-that in fact,
yet even is nothing his, while another wants.
To the common eye, education is especially Re-
publican duty, and nothing is education that does
not assume the oneness and hke-deservings of
the Race, as may, in another communication, be
farther illustrated by JEDBuRGu.

TEE RAIN.
by KATIE CLYDE.

We thank Thee for the rain, Father,
The COOL refreshing shower,
1t speaks Thy condescending love,
Thy goodness, and Thy power;
The thirsty earth drinks deep the draught
In kindness DER her poured,
Then gratefully she sendeth forth,
The treasures she hath stored.
And shrub, and flower look up for joy,
Their grateful homage pay,
Still cheer and beautify the earth
More brightly day by day.
The little creek goes merrily,
And laughingly along
For now the rain hath filled its heart,
1t sings louder song.
And pearly drops, like purest gems,
Dec Bird and leaf and flower,
Sparkling beneath tie glad sunshine,
Which still succeeds the shower.
Yes; everywhere the rain hath given
This earth beauty bright
We thank Thee, Father, for the cloud,
As well as for the light.

"YoU FoRGoT ME."-A good joke is told at
the expense of one of our church-going citizens
who is the father of an interesting family of chill
dren, and among them a bright-eyed boy, num-
bering four five summers, the pet of the house
hold, and unanimously voted the drollest little
mischief alive. On Saturday night he had been
brbed to keep peace, and retire to bed an hour
earlier than usual, with the promise that on the
morrow he might go with the family to Church
On Sunday morning it was found inconyenient
to put the youngster through the regular course
of washing and dressing necessary for his proper
appearance at the sanctuary, and the family slip
ped off without him. They had not, however,
more than got comfortably seated in their pew,
when i'll walked the youngster with nothing on
but his night wrapper and cloth cap. "You for
got me-" said he, in a tone loud enough to be
heard all over the church. The feelings of
the parents can be more easily imagined than

ed his daughter to go home, if those were
her playmates. He went off to his work
and she remained with the snakes in spite
OF the order. So things rested for few
days, an older sister going with her and
seeing her play with and feed the disgust
ing reptiles. At last the parents became
much excited about the matter, the mother
threatening to shoot the snakes if her hus-
band did not kill them, the child protesting
against it. But the prevailing idea that if
you kill the charmer the charmed one will
languish and die, induced him to consult
Do3tor Wight, who advised him not to kill
the snakes.
Las. Sunday morning, Mr.. Hill with
gloves upon his hands, started in pursuit
of the snakes. He found the smallest one
and chased it long distance before it stop
ped, so that he could get hold of it. AT
last lie succeeded in catcbingit, and now
keeps it secured in sugar box. tits cross

informants have seen it coil itself about the

her lap with the fondness of q pet lap dog
1t eats freely when fed by her, but seldom
when fed by others. The little girl was
asked if she was no. frightened when she
first saw the snakes. She said she was
terribly frightened; and when asked why
she did not run, she said she tried to, but
could not, she also tried to scream for her
mother, but could not speak word.
The idea is that she was paralyzed By
the magnetic power of the snakes. The
first time she remained with them q very
long time--could not tell how long. AT,
terward daily she staid with them several
hours, feeding them regularly. She says
thoy like sweet things best, and that she

The big snake would try to drive the small

compliment By taking her fingers into hi

snake as much as she does the other one

The Gilmanton Snakes and the Charmed
Child

A short item appeared in the Statesmen
about little girl in Gilmanton, this State.
being charmed by snakes. tits nearly the
only subject talked about where the facts
are known. Certainly we have read of
nothing more marvellous or romantic, in
all the fanciful tales from Python to Dear
Speckle Back
Last evening We saw several persons at
Concord who had been to see the charmed
child, and witness her caresses of the snake,
and also conversed with men from Gilman
ton, and learn the following reliable facts:
A man and his wife in humble circum-
stances. by the name of Hill, lives in Gil
manton, about two miles from Loudon
Ridge. They have several children. and
among them bright little girl six years
old, who some six weeks ago got in the
habit of going out and spending part of the
day away from home. The father worked
out at days work. and the mother was
busy at home. and not much notice was
taken Of it. though the girl remarked what
nice times she had with her pets in the
bushes. and several times spoke about
the snakes. It was supposed she spoke
fguratively, as children are apt to do, rep
resenting their dumb playthings as alive
and possessed of intelligence.
One night she staid out till past 9 o'clock
and her parents went out and called for her
but she did not answer. After while she
came home. and reluctantly told that she
had been playing with the snakes. The
mothers anxiety became great, and the
next morning she purs uaded her husband,
before he went to work, to 60 with the little
girl, and see if she found any snakes
They went off, an1 waited moment, and
out came two black snakes, one little
over four feet long, by measurement, and
the other monster of his kind. Judged to
be between six and seven feet long. The
father looked with establishment and fear,
as he saw the snakes hasten with Joy TO the
feet his child, and yield delighted to her
fondling caresses-coil themselves lovingly
about her neck and bosom, crawl into her
lap, and cuddle down together in child like
security, and apparently fall to sleep while
she patted and gently stroked them will,
her tiny hand. 1t reminds one of few
verses in ''Dear Spcckle Back" by Mrs.
Sheridan Carey:
with wonderous gambolling it crept
Straight to the infants feet
And, fawniDg joyously appear'd
lis visitor to greet
And pleasure did the nursing child
All touchngly reveal,
While with the gentle snake it toy'd
And halyed its little meal
On this side of the porringer
The Doi1iiy iambisin sas,
And, tapping up its given share,
The serpent lay on that.
So lovingly blithe Alice fed,
With her strange chosen mao,
But ever, the creature sought
To ptor from the plate,
She softly tapp'd it on the head
And, hspingly, did chide,
'F.et SPettle BAT! dear SpelAe tas!

Curious Discovery.

The workmen in the employ of Mr.. Samuel
Money, Supervisor, says the Philadelphia North
American, while digging away the earth on
Thursday last, to open Shipper street, from
Gray's Ferry Road to the Schuylkill, struck
upon = white pine coffin, which crumbled at the
touch Of the pickaxe, and disclosed the thigh
bone and other remnants Of q human skeleton.
Among these frail emblems of mortality, were
found two knee buckles and two shoe buckles
Of pure silver. The coffin was evidently placed
In the ground at the time of the revolution, or
previous to that stormy time. Various con-
have been made as to the rank aud
position Of the occupant, but none ofthem ap-
pear to us as satisfactory, and romance is at
liberty to weave a story to suit her fancy.
The buckles were divided among the workmen.
and the portions of the skeleton again covered
up in the box, or coffin.
