ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL,


When completed six years ago, the st.
Nicholas was universally pronounced the most
magnificent, convenient, and thoroughly Or
ganzed establishment Of the kind on this con
tinent What it was then, it remains to. day
without rival in size, in sumptuousness,
and in the general elements of comfort and
enjoyment. The Hotel has accommodations
for 900 guests, including 100 cnmplete
suites of apartments for families. Six hun
drcd persons can be comfortably seated at the
tables of its public dining rooms, and nothing
that modern art has devised for the convcni-
cnce and social qualification of the travelling
public has been omitted in its plan, OF is neg
lected in its practical details. The early repu-
tation Of the house ut home and abroad de-
rived from its magnitude, its superb appoints
ments and its homelike comforts and luxuriee.
has been enhanced every year BY the unwcari-
ed exertions of the proprietors.

Notes Of Schools.
nj THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

Although the Board of Education have tax
en- away the duty Of visiting schools, from the
County Superintendent, they have not yet
taken away the pririlege, and contemplate,
during the present year, visiting such schools
in the county rs / can consistently with my
other duties. In accordance with this design
l spent Monday last very pleasantly in the
schools Of sub-district No 3, st. Charles City.
In the morning visited the higher depart
ment, taught by Rev. +. J. McClelland. As
l entered was struck with the plcasantness
of the room. The house has recently been
repaired and newly plastered; the wall was
clean and white, and the floor neatly swept.
Around the room hung a set of Mitchell S
Outline Maps. Upon the teachers desk was
a large Globe and Webster's Dictionary.
Across one end of the room was Blackboard,
and an air of comfort and neatness pervaded
the apartment.
With the school l was much pleased Seldom
have visited a school where SO good order
was manifested as here. All were busily en-
gagged with their books, and seemed to be
making progress in their studies. The dis
trict has done well in securing the services Of
Mr.. McClclland The school numbers sixty
three; average attendance forty-five.
In the afternoon l found my way to the
primary department, taught by Miss Ellen
Wilbur. OF this school,room | cannot speak
SO favorubly as of the one visited in the fore
noon. The room is small, the walls patched
and dingy, the floor rough and uneven, hard
" fit for stable floor. There is nothing plea
SAINT or attractive about the room, if except
the teacher, whom all the children loved. |
found here forty little children engaged in
their school duties OF necessity this school
was not as still and quiet as the other. Who
ever knew little ones TO be quiet great while
at a time, especially with nothing to do ? And
here allow me to remark, that it often seems
that parents finding their children trouble
some at home, send them to school merely to
get rid Of them, little thinking that the poor
teacher, already overtasked, will find any
:. trouble" with them. Such parents, and
others, too, | would remind OF the old
couplet-

and if you wish your children to keep out of
mischief provide them with states aud pencils,
with which they may keep busy. These sim
pie tools in the hands of every small scholar,
no matter how small would greatly relieve
the teacher, and benefit the child
Miss WilbuI's plan of teaching is good, anG

''Are you any better, dear 2" he asked IN a
rough voice, but in the kindest tones.
"No-have you found work ? If you could
get me little nourishing food, could regain
my strength"
The man gazed upon her pale face moment
and again taking up his horse went out. He
had not gone far before a woman met bin,
and sa i'd she wished him to follow and saw some
wood for her His heart bounded with hope
and gratitude, and he went after her to her
dwelling, an abode little better than his own
for poverty yet wearing an air Of comfort.
He sawed the wood, split and piled it, and re-
ceved six shIlings with which he fastened 10 a
store for necessaries for his sick wife, and then
be hurried home to gladden. her heat with the
ielicacIeS he had provided. Till now he had
no work for four days, and his family had been
starving, and from this day his wife got hetter,
and was at length restored to his iaIrily and to
health, from a stale of weakness which another
days continuation would probably have proved
fatal.
These six shaings, which did so much good,
were paid him by the poor woman from the FIVE
dollars she had received from the Storekeeper,
and the sailor had paid him. The poor woman's
dau ghter was also revived and Ultimately re-
stored to health, and was lately married to a
young man who had been kept three years alb
sent. and returned true to his troth But for
the five dollars which had been so instrumental
in her recovery, he might have returned 10 be
told that she who's memory had been so long
the polar star OF his heart had persisted.
So much good did the five dollar piece do,
which Peter Chancery, Esq, so reluctantly
paid to Mr.. Lasts apprentice boy, though little
credit is due 70 this gentleman for the result that
followed. 1t is thus Providence often makes
bad men the instrument of good to others. Let
this little story lead those who think a ''small
bil'' can stand because 1t is small bill, remem-
Der how much good five dollar piece has done
in one single day, and that in paying one bill
they may be paying a series of twenty bills and
dispensing good 10 hundreds around them.

N0IIND TALK.

The Washington correspondent OF the Phila-
delPhIa North American, Republican journal, F.,
Morton McMIchaePs,) in speaking OF the fanat-
les headed by Horace Greeley, of the Tribune,
saws:
"A dogged determination 10 do what 10 called
''standng firm," by rejecting all overtures and
making no propositions, IS below the dignity OF
craftsmanship, and shows them 10 be wholly
destitute of it, who have no other remedy but
this sulky and defiant position. There are some
OF US who can't be driven, and who do not mean
to follow any such lead. We have been ac-
customed 10 think for ourselves, aud If the al
tentative between saving the country and shiv-
erlng the party be presented, the latter will be
our choice at all hazards, if it fails to rise up
TO the necessities OF this great exigency."
That's the voice of man. So is the follow.
