DEs MONIES. Iowa, Dec. 18th, 5S.
Mn. Enron Dear Sir--I am hap
py to report that the Board Of Education
is making. progress. Two Bills have been
acted upon. One to designate the time
that Laws passed by this Board shall take
effect, and the other a curative act--des-
igaatcd "An Act to legslize elections,
acts and contracts under an act Of she
General Assembly, entitled An Act for
the Public Instruction Of the State Of
Iowa, Approved, March 18th, 1865
Both Acts passed by the unanimous voice
Of the Board. This Curative. Bill has
been matter of much deliberatlon and
consultation. The Attorney General,
and the members Of the Supreme Bench,
have all been called aron to give their
views upon the Constitutional powers Of
the Board Of Education. They have With
out exception, recommended the passage
of curative Act, by the Board
Never in the history of our Govern
mcnt, has State been placed in the con-
dition Iowa was, by the decision Of The
Supreme Court. Its former Laws repeJ-
cd, and its present one, nnc0,stituaal. -
Contracts had been let, Teachers employ
ed, examinations held, certificates given,
and in fact nine months of labor done un-
der this unconstitutional law; the inter
est of many were involved, money must
have been lost, unless something had
been done to obyiate these difficulties
The passage of a Curative Act, was the
only means that could be resorted to
bring order from Chaos.
In justice to Mr.. Connolly, l wish to
state that he was misrepresented in the
Statesman Extra of the 18th inst lie
was represented to have said that he yo-
ted for the Bill, but wished it placed on
the Journals, that he doubted the erpe-
dieacy, but admitted the necessity aud
therefore, voted for the Bill | give his
| language.
Mr.. Connelly said, he doubted the
authority of the Board Of Education to
pass Curative Act, but in view of the
necessities Of the case would vote for the
Bill, and requested to have the reasons
for his vote, entered upon the journal.
During yesterday and to day, the
Board has been in Committee of the
whole, pcrfecting general School Law
Mr.. Perry Of Monroe County,in the chair.
The prospect is, that We shall have a
good School Law. The main features of
Mr.. Fishers law, think, will be retain

abolished, or rather not established The
Bin provides, that Schools shall be taught
in each subsision or sub Districts. at
least six mouths in the year instead Of

The Bill also provides that all incor-
porated towns Of Que thousand inhabi-
tauts, may constitute ar separate school

The Evils Of Lotteries.

A lottery is gaming. This is against tn,
nations that have not adopted means to re
strain or entirely prohibit it; because it il
seeking property for which no equivalen
is to be paid; and because it leads dlrec:l,
70 losses and poverty. and, by exciting bat
passions, is the fruitful original of vice ant
crime.
| II is the lcorsi species of gaming, because
it brings adriotness, cunning, experience
and skill 10 contend ageins. ignorance. fol

tent without exposure; and, by a mode Of
settling the chances by combination mum.
bers"-an invention of the modern school
of gambling-the fate of thousands and
hu undreds of thousands may be determined
by single turn Of the wheel.
Lotteries, like other games of chance.
are seductive and infatuatlng. Every new
loss is an inducement to a new adventure
and, filled with vain hopes Of recovering
what is lost, the unthinking victim is led
on, from step to step. till he finds it impos.
sible to regain his ground, and he gradually
sinks into miserable outcsst, or, by a
bold and still mere guilty effort, p.unges at
once into that gulf where he hopes protec-
ton from the stings Of conscience. refuge
from the reproaches OF the world, and OBJ
liviou from existence.

tickets as calling or employment, 50 far as
the vendors are concerned, it deserves to

placed in his was quiet as his own; the
voice was firm, the manner easy and grace
ful. George, the coxcomb, was disappoint-
ed. oil"
Nellie saw her power now. 1t was d long
wooing, for it was net until poor George
was as desperately in love as she had been
herself, that Nellie gave him even SO much
as smile of encouragement. When
ever he spoke of love, her little inno-
cent look of surprise was too much for
him; and accustomed to have his attentions
courted, he was often on the point of leaving
her, and giving up the pursuit. Then Nellie
was belle; the boquets, invitations to ride,
and visit the opera, and bullets -dour she ac-
septed from other admirers, drove George
vic with jealousies. She had, too, the
most provoking way of referring to the days
passed in the country, with a sort Of con-
temptuous pity of her own silly capacity for
seeiag perfection in a man-4ne-eis- -frsss the
fact that he was town bred, wore broadcloth
and kid gloves, and had seen an opera; and,
finally, Nellie went home to Towerville,
leaving poor George hopelessly in love with
the farmers daughter.
1t was oil no use to try to forget herr
George soon found tina, out; and al last, un-
able 70 bear suspense ary longer, he start
ed for Towerville, determined to have a
"Yes," or "No," in answer to an important
question he meant to put to the beauty. As
he drove slowly over the well-remembered d
roads, he passed near the old stile; some one
was there. George fastened his horse, and
started across the fields. Yes, there she was,
seated on the old stile, actually dressed in
the gipsy hat he remembered So well; there
she sat dreaming over old dreams, and won-
dering whether she had acted wisely in not
encouraging George as her still silly heart
had prompted. There was stealthy step
behind her, and before she knew there was
any one near, a pair of arms encircled her
waist, and daring kiss was printed on her
lips. 1t was of no use to resist-Nellie was
a captive: and the old stile neard another
love-story that summer afternoon, and the
'.town beau carried Nellie home in light
cart, the only vehicle to be hired within five
miles of Towerviile. And in little while
Nellie rhanged her name and home leaving
Farmer Greyson and his good dame to an
ticipate many pleasant summers when Mel
lie and George should come to spend the
warm months at the farm house, ard rerew
these chats at the OLD sTILE.
