EDUCATIONAL.

Mr. EDITOR: In the JOURNAL of the
22d ult., | noticed proposal from L.
Bird to have column devoted to original
educational matters. This would be
pleasing to me, and probably TO other be-
giners in teaching though we might not
contribute at first for fear of not writing
swell enough" but let the older teachers
begin, and / think we will join in.
Those formulas might be improved;
perhaps not perfected, thus -
If Henry has 10 marbles and James )
they both have 10 plus 5 which is Is,
therefore they both have 15 marbles.
If Mary is 8 years old aud Alice 4, the
difference between their ages is the diff
ference between aDd which IS 5;
therefore the difference between their
ages is 5 years.
The principal fault with these is that
the solution comes after the therefore"
In the second formula the question is
altered, putting years older for difference,
which should never be done
Ii for , cents | can buy ! orange, for
Is cents L can buy as many oranges as ,
is contained times in IS, which is 8 times,
therefore at 2 cents each for Is cents 8
oranges can be bought
If one yard of ribbon cost I cents, 6
yards will cost 6 times Z, or II, therefore
q yards of ribbon at cents per yard will
cost 42 cents.

A Model Composition.

WINTER Winter Is the coolest sea-
son OF the year because it comes in the
winter. lu some countries winter COMES
IN the summer, then it is very pleasant
| wish winter come IN the summer in this
country. Then l could 90 skating bare
foot and slide down hill in linen trowsers.
We could snow ball without our fugers
getting cold-and men who 60 out sleigh
nding wouldn't have to stop at every tav-
ern, to warm, as they DO now. 1t SHOWS
more in the winter than any ether season
Of the year. This is because SO many
cutters aad s!eighs are made at that time.
Ice grows much better in the winter
than IN the summer, which was incouven:
lent before the discovery Of Ice houses.
Water that is left out of doors is apt to
freeze at this season. Some people take
n their wells and cisterns On cold night
and keep them by the fire SO they don't
freeze.
Skating is great fun in the winter. The
boys get their skates on when the river is
frozen over, and race, play tag, break thro'
the ice and get wet al over (they get
drowned sometimes J fall and break their
heads, and enjoy themselves many other
ways. A wicked boy once borrowed my
skates and ran of with them and | couldn's
catch him. Mother says judgment will
overtake him one day judgment will
have to be pretty lively on It's legs, for
he runs bully.
There amt much sleigh-ridine except
in the winter folks don't seem to care
about it in warm weather. The grown.up
boys and girls like to 90 sleigh-riding:
The boys generally drive with one band
aud help the girls hold their muffs with
the other brother Bob let me go along
a little way once when he took Celia
Crane out sleigh-riding, and thought he
paid more attention to holding the mutf
than he did to holding the horses
Snow balling is another winter sport:
| have snow balled in the summer; but
then We used stones and hard apples.

YES, WOULD THE WAR WERE OVER.

Yes, would the war were over,
Would the cruel work were done
With my coutry undivided,
And the battle fought and won.
Let the contest now before Us,
Be decided by the sword,
For the war cannot be ended
Till the Union is restored.
Yes. would the war were over.
Would the cruel work were done
With my country still united
And the many States in one.
Dead upon the field of battle,
Husbands, sons and brothers lie;
Friends are waiting-wiTes and mothers,
Looking for them-bye and bye,
Far Away from home forever,
Many noble boy lies slain
Look not for thy child, fond mother
Thou shalt see him not again.
Yes, l would &c.
Yes, would the war were ended,
And the cruel struggle Ger:
But our flag must be defended,
And our country as before.
Peace indeed, is Heavens blessing,
Though its joys are easy lost,
Still we'll battle for our nation,
Whatsoe'er it yet may cost.
Yes, | would &c.

The Medicine Tester.

John Hews was ready for fun, ana
never wilfully missed an opportunity for
a laugh. He was once employed ID a
drugstore on Market street, and one day
a youth, fresh from the country, entered
and asked for a job.
"What kind of job p asked John.
"Oh, a most anything. l want to get
a kind o genteel job. I'm tired of cut
tin wood, and can turn my hand to most
anything"
"Well, we want mana good strong
fellow-a sample clerk. Wages are good !;
we pay a mau in that situation thou
sand dollars"
"What has feller got ter do "
ooh, merely to test medicines, that is
all. 1t requires a stout man, one of good
constitution, and after he gets used to it
he don't mind it. Before We dare sell
our medicines we always try them. You
will be required to take six or eight
ounces Of castor oil some days, with few
drops Of rhubarb, aloes, croton oil, qui-
nine, strychnia, and similar preparations
try the strength of cowage by spread
inc it between the sheets in warm weath
er, and try the quality of nd-paper by
rubbing yourself down With it. You can
count on FROM twelve to fifteen doses per
day. As 10 the work, that don't amount
to much; the testing department would
be the principal labor required of you !;
and as said before, it requires strong,
healthy man to endure it. We should
ike to have you take right hold if you
say so, we'll begin to-day"
"WeH," replied our child of nature,
~ don't care much"
John stepped back into the store, fol-
lowed by his brother clerks and the vic
tim. He reached from a shelf box of
Sedlitz powders, and taking therefrom q
blue and white paper, mixed them sep
arately with water in two glasses.
"Now drink this, and that Immediately
afterWard, and inform me as to their re-
spective tastes"
Unsuspecting innocence complied with
Johns request, when horror cf horrors
what sight was there Nothing could
equal the grotesque figure cut by the vic
tim. He swelled up like toad until
one would have thought he was about to
burst. From his widely opened mouth
ran rivers of foam. He gasped for breath,
threw his arms into the air, twirled round
on his heels, few in behind the counter
among the glass jars, etc., and amidst the
uproarous laughter of the lockers on, he
fell to the floor and roared like lion
John then gave him mixture which
brought instant relief, and the poor fellow
once more stood among the clerks with
such -begone expression that it
caused another outburst from John and
his friends. The man becoming indig-
nant was about to leave the store, when
John accosted him with
"Here's barrel Of castor oil-Tll just
draw an ounce, and
"No, no; | guess not to-day. anyhow
III 60 down to the tavern and see my
Aunt Tabitha and if | conclude to come,
I'll come tomorrow and let you know
As he did not return, it is supposed
be considered the work too hard.
