19TBy the quiet Preside of home. the
true mother, in the midst of her children,
is sowing. as in vases of earth, the seeds
plants that shall sometime give to Heaven
the fragrence of their blossoms, and whose
fruit shall be as rosary of angelic deeds
the noblest offering that she can make
though the ever extending and expanding
souls of children to her Maker. Every
word that she utters goes from heart to
heart, with power of which she little
dreams. Philosophers tell US, in their
speculations that we cannot move finger
without moving the distant sphers. Sol
emn is the thought. but more solemn to
the Christian mother than the thought
that every word that falls from her lips
every expression of her euuntenance, even
in the sheltered walk and retirement of
home-may leave an indelible impression
on the young souls around her, and form,
as it were. the underlying strata of that
education which peoples Heaven.

Writing in our Common Schools.

The value to the world Of the art Of
writing. cannot be estimated That the
rapid progress now made III civilized ma
tions depends. to an unlimited extent, up
on written language, will be generally adj
mitted.
1t is not necessary, in this age to speak
or write of the Importance of this branch
of common school study, for all must know
and feel, to great extent, It's necessity.
But the quesio is. how shall we, how
shall our children be instructed in this i'm
portant branch 1t is expected that the
masses in our state viii receive their in
struction in the common school, under the
free school law, which provides, without
qualification, for the instruction of every
child in the state, over four and under
twenty years of age, in all the common
English branches. Tt is expressly stated
that writing shall be taught in every dis
trict school in the state; and this is a
grand provision of the law, and should be
thoroughly executed. But for some cause,
writing is shamefully neglected in many of
our schools this is not as it should be, for
the masses are dependent upon the common
school for all the instruction they will re-
ceiye in writing. Some may say it would
be better to attend school established
expressly for the purpose of giving instruc-
ton in this particular branch. This, per-
haps, would be the better plan FOR those
who may think themselves able to sustain
the extra school; but it is no argument III
favor of emitting it in the common school.
for under such circumstances. very many,
who would otherwise become good writer's,
would know but very little of the useful
art. District Boards and parents should
give sufficient attention to this matter
see that an opportunity to write in their
school is offered to every child who may be
old enough to learn to write, notwithstand
ing the opinions Of some who think that i,
may create too much disturbance in the
school room.
Every well-regulated school, with a live
and systematic teacher, may have as much
system, order and time in the exercise Of
writing as in any other exercise. Parents,
it is for you to h1ov that yoar children arc
being properly instructed. It is the busi-
ness of the teacher to instruct but yours
to know that your children are acquiring
proper education. Do not he put o1
with the idea that writing, under any cir
cumstances, should be omitted in the com
mon SCHOOL,. P. D., III VS. Farmer.

How to Avoid Colds.

Keep the feet dry aud warm, the head
cool, the body just sufficiently protected as
to be comfortable.
Let the transitions from cold to warm
and from warm to cold be gradual And
to this end, when you pass from the cold
atmosphere to the warm air of ROOM af-
ter the first few moments, lay off ali su-
perfuons garumcnts--hat, overcoat, muff-
er, oversize es--and thus prevent that ex-
cessive relaxation of the tissues. which is
virtually an opening Of innumerable doors,
and inviting the enemy of health TO come
in. But this is Only half the precaution
necessary. When you gain go oct in the
cold. even though for short time, put on
as much clothing as may be necessary to
prevent sudden penetration of cold, and
contraction of the tissues of the body.
The wearing of woollen garments next
to the skin is, for the reason suggested,
considered by the best authorities a whole
some preeautior. Woel is non-conduct-
or, and will thus have the effect to render
changes of temperature less sudden.
If exposure to intense ctld for con-
siderable time be necessary, there is moth
ing of greatest Importance tt an a thorough
protection of the vital parts-a warm COW
ering for the chest and the back between
the shoulders.
In the spring. colds often arise from a
sudden check of perspiration. The wealth
er seems so mild that less danger is appre-
bend from laying off the cnat, made un-
comfortable by exercise, or sitting down f.,
rest without additional covering. Farmers
are especially Liable to colds from this
cause
