The Rev. Robert Baird, d. d., whose

The SUNDAY School.


We lave, in Union county, seventy five
school houses, occupied by as many COM
mon school teachers four or five mouths
in the year. Each Of these school houses,
where better accommodations are not at
hand, might, and ought to he, occupied,
by dozen of teachers, every Sabbath, the
year round.
These seventy five common school teach
els are paid about Eight THOUSAND Dollars
annually. So important is common
school education to every child in the
State, that the money expended to secure
il, were it ten times the present amount,
would be well l4il out. But if We put Il
dozen Of Sabbath schoo! teachers in every
school house iu the county, we obtain the

among other things, dcyolycs the duty Of

Sabbath schools in places where they are

selected for such a work. Wherever this
is the case, they ought themselves to make
it known, and name others more suitable
to be appointed.
But these Secretaries, however Efficient
they may be in the organization of schools

Hints on Travel.

TThe editor Of HIhs Journalof Nca7M,
who says many things On the subject of
health distinguished by straightforward
common sense, gives several scasouable
hints to those who propose travelling,
which We rcpubli,h, with Il few addition
al comments ::
Take one-fourth more money than
your actual estimated expenses"
"IIave a good supply Of small change,
and have no bill or piece higher than ten
dollars, that you may not take counterfeit
change"
Say fve-and be particular in looking
at what mouey you get.
"Acquaint yourself with the geography
of the route and region Of travel
Exactly. lie who knows where he is
going, and in what manner, has fifty per
cent advantage over the ignoramus. Con
suit railroad tables carefully, aud ask of
travellers who have been over the road as
to routes and hours of starting. Many a
man, through ignorance, goes the worst
and dearest road.
as, arrange as to have but a single az
,.c.e of luggage to lock after
Don't you wish you may so arrange it,
especially If You are to travel with ladies !
"Drcss substantially; better be too hot
fJr two or three hours at noon, than to be
too cool fox the remainder Of the twenty
four
Sense itself. And dress for travel-not
for looks. Nothing looks better, in tray
cling, than plain clothes, and nothing SO
snoJbish as full dress.
"UuIcr all circumstances, be at the
place Of starting fifteen or twenty minutes
before the time, thus allowing for una
voidaJle or uuanticipatcd detention on
the way"
Good again OF stitches in time which
save nine, there is none ike being iE time
in the cars or steamboat. Pckpockets al
ways wait for the last rush--for tho elev-
euth hour uinuics, who crowd around the
Office to buy tickets, aud then rush to
jump the ferry.
ado not commence days travel before
breah fast, even if that has to be eaten at
daylight. Dinner, or supper, or both, can
be more healthiully dispensed with than
good warm breakfast"
A good rule, much followed in Europe,
is never to 60 out of the house without
first taking at least a cup of coffee.
"put yorr purse and watch in your
pocket, and all under your pillow, and
YOU Will not be likely to leave either"
Say your pan;aloons. We have known
men jn warm weather TO forget not only
watch and purse, but also their walstcoat,
as easily as j. B forgets his old friends.
But pantaloyns are much less likely TO be
forgotten.
"The secure fastening of your chamber
door, is 4 common bolt on the Inside; II
