pressed that good lime may come when
the only questions about candidate for
Office will be these three: "Is be bonesti

Constitulion?'
When Jefferson said a good thing, he
said it we'll, and this is one Of his good
things. Those three questions which the
people OF the United States Ought TO. ask

Learu the ChiIdrcn 10 SING,

Singing is a beautiful exercise. The
lungs need expansion to develop them
and make them strong. just as much as
the leg or arm. 1t would be well for the
the babe to lie in the cradle till he should
become man. Exercise gives health
aud strength as we'll to the vocal organs
as TO the hands and feet.
