Forms OF SalMtatiOn,

Most modern forms of salutation and
civility are derived from chivalry, or at
least from war, and they all betoken some
difference, as from conquered person to
the conquerer; just as in private life we
still continue to sigh ourselves the very
humble servant of our correspondence
The uncovered head was simply the head
unarmed; the helmet being removed,
the party was at mercy. So the hand
ungloved was the hand ungauntleted /;
and to this day it is incivility to shake
hands with gloves on. Shaking hands
itself was but token of truce, in which
the parties took hold each Of the others
weapon hand to make sure against
treachery. So also, gsntleman's bow
is but an offer of the neck to the stroke
of the adversary; so the lady's curtesy is
but the form of going on her knees for
mercy. The general principle is marked,
as it ought naturally be, still more strong
ly in the case of military salutes. Why
is a discharge of guns salute Be-
cause it. leaves the guns empty, and at
the mercy of the opponent. And this is
So true that the saluting with blank car
fridge is modern invention. Formerly,
salutes were fired BY discharging the
cannon balls, and there have been instan-
ces in which the compliment has been
nearly fatal to the visitor whom il meant
to honor. When the officer salutes, he
points the drawn sword TO the ground;
and the salute Of the troops is, even at
this day, called presenting arms, that
is, presenting them to be taken.

SPARTAN WoMEM-lf any state ever
had cause to be proud Of her women,
that state is Minnesota. We hear Of in
stances innumerable., of the heroic resig-
nation Of our women to the necessity
which takes their husbands, brothers, and
sons to the ensangnined field. The men
have left their acres of grain udshocked
and often times uncut, to respond to their
eountrys call, while the women have
taken the field at home, keep their reap
ers agoing, and take up and secure The
grain; and soon, while the men are
away threshing the enemies of their
country, they will be threshing out the
golden harvest. This is the most sublime
era the world ever presented-the men
abroad fighting, destroying, and consum-
ing, and the women toiling at home for
their support. God bless our noble,
patriotic women.

look for educational advantages and it is
an imperative duty of the present inhabi-

THE SUMMER NIGHT.
BY AUGUSTA MAINE.

o the summer night is spirit bright,
And her voice is low and sweet;
And her brow ~ fair ~ tie heavens are,
When the day and darkness meet.
And love the night so pure and bright.
When tho stars their watches keep;
When the waves sigh low as they come and 60,
And the waves are hushed to sleep.
When the skies ore fair, and the ambient air
Is soft as an infants breath;
And the dancing rill is calm and still
As tho touched by the sword Of death.
The clouds bend down, o cr the mountains brown
AS tho Heayen and Earth had met;
The breath of flowers float out from the bowers,
And the grass with dew is wet.
The waves Of the lake bright shadows take
From the iris hued clouds above;
And the giant trees, as they sway in'the breeze,
Seem whispering words of love.
o love the night, so calm and bright,
For her voice is low and sweet,
Anu her brow is fair as the heavens are,
When the day and darkness meet.

PAPER OF THE COUNTY.
JANE G. sWISSHELM, EDITOR.
Humhug, Hifalu+in and "Hair
work."

Some Of our St. Cloud folks feel ay-
grieved by our notice of the proposed re-
opening IF the ''St. Cloud Institute" and
say We should have waited and give, Mr..
Norris fair trial before condemniny him.
The people or St. Cloud have spent seven
years in giving teaches fair trials and, up
to this time, have had no school. True.
We have had earnest, faithful and good
teachers who have done their best, but
the system which has left it all to the
chances Of trial, has left them without the
means of accomplishing much. 1t is not
tue that community ought to keep
their schoolhouses and purses open, for
the use of any ore who comes along and
claims a trial to prove whether he cal.
teach. His competence should be fully
asccrtained before he is entrusted with the
most vital interest of any community.
We judge of Mr. Norris fitness, for the
important post Of educator of the young,
by the evidence before us The St. Cloud
Institute, is very pretty wooden build
ing standing in a beautiful grove. It has
one room about 10 by so feet, and a cock
loft about 8 by IL. designed for the use OF
a choir, but SO close to the ceiling that
the singing in it, sounds like the squeak
ing o! three blind mice in a meal bin.-
The house is unfinished, is not weather.
boarded, has but one coat of plaster, and a
floor 50 open that there is danger Of pu-
pills getting their feet frozen as they sit,
unless the house is 50 he,ted by stoves
as almost to produce vertigo. The floor
is closely packed with little, fixed wooden
seats; and. not a desk to support book or
slate, SO that the pupils put their feet up
on the seat before them and support their
states and books upon their knees, as best
they can, so doubling themselves up and
bending themselves down as to keep the
lungs crushed and the spine crooked all
the time Of study. ahen, there are sta
tionary desks running around the cock.
