Some of our friends do not, or will
not, understand the position of the In
telligencer, and insist upon calling it
a neutral paper. While it does not
profess to be a partisan political
journal, we desire to have it fully un.
derstood that neutrality" has ever
been disclaimed by it. The Intelli-
gencer aoal say what it pleases, in
terms of praise or censure, as its con
ductors shall deem it to be their duty
of whatever parties, men or measures

trary Notwithstanding.

School Houses.

Now that the winier schools are
about commencing, committees, pa
rents and teachers should see that
school houses are in proper condition
for the comfort of those who are to oc-
cupy them. On this point there is by
far too much neglect. The house
where many of the best hours of life
are spent should be made attractive
to the eyeofi youth, and be construct
ed with due regard to the health and
comfort of their physical natures.
Just as the twig is bent the trees inclined"
The impressions Of youth are indelible,
whether made upon the physical OF
mental system. The young mind is
moulded by the objects it contemplates
What is it that casts such an endur.
ing charm about home, sweet home p
1t is undying recollection of childish
joys, of parental love, of little domes'
tic scenes, forgotten by all except the
child who participated in them. If the
school room be made agreeable and
comfortable the child will love it as
he does his home. Let every parent
who sends his child to school look tc
the things we have limited at. Many a
| =
child has been whipped for his aver
sion to school when the fault does no,
rest with him, but with the parent o.
, teacher. 1t is the parents duty to SCI
that the scheol house is inviting tina
it is properly warmed and ventilated
and provided with all the apparatu
and furniture necessary for the child
, comfort. And it is the duty Of tn
teacher to interest his pupils in tn
various branches Of study pursued; t,
be gentle, persuasive, and yet firm il
his government; to cause his pupils t
love and respect, rather than fear ane
hate him. It is in this way only tina
schools can berendered agreeable ant
profitable to all concerted #2nl-.

Wash your gun-barrels in spirits of turpen
tine, by dipping rag or sponge, fastened or
your ramrod, into the liquid, and swabbne
them out two or three times, when they viii
be cleaned from all impurities and can be used
almost instantly, as the turpentine will evap

ThankSgiving-Day.

"Thrce welcome the day, in Its annual round
What treasures Of love in its bosom are found
Our country's high holiday, ancient and dear,
Would be twice welcome, If twice in year.
Now children revisit the darling old place,
And brother and sister, long parted, embrace
The family ring is united once more,
And glad voices shout round the old cottage door.
The grandfather smiles on the innocent mirth.
And bIesses the God that has guarded his hearth;
He remembers no trouble, he feels no decay,
But thinks his whole life has been Thanksgiving day
Then praise for the past and the present we sing
And trustful await what the future may bring:
Let doubt and repning be banishcd away,
And the whole Of our lives be than ksgiving day.

SPOILED TUNEs.-Rev. Thomas Hill, OF
Waltham, writing on Church Music, in the
Christian Examiner, says - "
'Sometimes an attempt is made to alter an
air by changing the cadence to religious form.
We have recently heard tunes of this character,
from some new collections of sacred music,
popular Irish and negro melodies being cut off
in the last measure, and chord of the sub
dominant introduced, as it were, to sanctify
them. The result is, that the tunes are spoiled
for vhistiing on reek days, acithout being RENDERED
Gt to sing on Sundays" 49,. -
