change made by Directors of class books is /
one that needs as much reformation as any
thing we can just now call to mind connected /
with that system. Our own opinion is that
It would be much better to have even an in
ferior book in use for term Of three or FIVE
years. than to make two or four changes in
those terms by introducing different works in
some particulars only superior to those in use.
Nothing is more difficult than to make the
young comprehend some of these changes,
especially when an innovation ON a time hon
ored usage Is attempted, question upon
question is put that, if right, orhy it was not
made before? As an instance Of this, we
may adduce the fact that the world has been

WITHDRAWING herself so, to speak
from the soles Of her feet to the roots

One day she discovered that certain
pimples, like group Of little volcan-
oes, were piercing the thick crust Of
dead white, and threatening to cover
her arms with pathological arabesques.
Under the advice ola physician, she
ordered medicated bath, and with the
hesitation Of woman of delicate ner.
yes, she plunged therein her beautiful
person. Hardly had that adorable
plaster east disappeared to the neck, in
the sulphurous wave, when suddenly
from head to heel, the wilderness 81

of an Ethiopian. You would have de.
clared her negress badly whitened,
or = white dame attacked with extraor.
binary cholera symptoms.
The last supposition prevailed, and
the physician called in hast, laughed
immoderately.
"Madam," said he."you are not i'll;
you are a chemical product. You arc
