contribute great deal, especially JuDeE

The Village School.-The vii,

KIDDER, has very large Attendance
there being over sixty pupils. Among
these arc quite number of very young
children, and one at least, whose intellect
is in the prpal stage Of A B G develop
opmcnt. Now we are in favor of free
schools for children, but not for infants
We believe no child should be sent to
school, especially during crowded, win
ter term, who cannot spell "Baker,' and
all the rest of that table.
The eject Of sending children of from
four to seven years ofaye to a school like
ours, is 10 positively iujure the children
themselves, rob those who are older Of
the attention rightfuily due them, annoy
the teacher, break up al system, and
render such 4 thingas study or mental
culture, an ilnpossiblity. We haze par
ticipated in the pleasure of teaching q
District school, and know whereof we at
firm. If parents will be SO thoughtless
as to send infants to school, it seems to US
that the D strict Board should take some
action to prevent others from suffering by
their thoughtlessness.
We hope no one will take offence at
what wo have written, rs we know not
who sends the "little ones" to school.

: Tobacco.-Last Monday EVENING,

Fobacco.-Last Monday evening,
Rev. A. GIBSON, of this village, deliver
ed lecture on the use of tobacco, which
was listened to by large audience.
The lecture was both pleasant and pun
gent; its basis being laid on sub-stra-
tum ofcommon sense, while the keen, cut
ting weapon of satire was used to open q
way where argument could not enter
The speaker dwell at some length on
that prolific point-the flthiness of the
habit. The somewhat popular idea of
its manliness-an idea especially preva-
lent among boys,-was thoroughly ex-
ploded.
In this connection We must relate
abort anec1ote. Some years since, it
was our good fortune to spend a winter
in the pleasant village of North Bridge
water, in the old Bay State. One day,
in company with others, we were skating
on the village pond, and being naturally
member Of the fraternity of c1ever fel-
lows, we were applied to by several juye-
niles to fasten on their skates. We viii
lingly complied with the request and
lastly came boy, about fourteen years
of age, lean, dirty and ragged; clad in
the cast-eff clothes of a drunken father;
and asked us to tie on his skates We
did so; and the young taterdemalion
Strengthened up, thrust his hand into the
long pocket of his dilapidated trousers,
and after considerable search, drew forth
small piece of dirty tobacco, and with a
benevolent expression of countenance,
handed it to us. We declined the prof
fered luxury. The beaming smile of sat
isfaetion faded from his face, and like
Hamlet's Ghost, he seemed ''more in sor-
row than in anger"
In moment he Strengthened himself
to his utmost altitude, and fixing on us
steady look, with voice in which sur
prise, pity and contempt were blended, ho
exclaimed" Cod Don't you chawg
If Hogarth could have sketched that
boy, as he expressed his idea of manhood
in that brief sentence, it would be a moro
eloquent argument for anti-tobaccoists,
than can be cleaned from all the medical
writer's in Christondom.
