of seven years as teacher qualities us some.

The quickest and probably the most
impressive road to the human mind is

the old churches and palaces of Europe
are remembered long after the nams of
the church is forgotten-Masonic and

ture Of cities, portraits Of friends or the
living faces Of those we know are marked
indelibly on Memory and by this faculty
or cant-help-it of the mind We recall theus-
ands Of events which but for the eye would
be forever lost. Take the illustrated pa
pers Of the day and observe how eagerly
all Of US scan the battle scenes, the por-
traits, the pictures Of vessels, imperfect
daubs though many Of them are! Is
there not a lesson in all this?
The School Books before US meet this
weakness or human predisposition precise
ly. They are styled "Wilson's Readers"
The first work is a Primer containing small
spelling and easy reading lessons, each one

the story to be read. The little girl or boy
knows the story from the picture before
word is looked at and hence can make no
mistake in its perusal complete know
ledge Of the subject enables the youngest
scholar to read naturally and easily every
line of the lesson. The FIRST Reader con-
tains lessons little more difficult in words,
but all illustrated by most excellent wood
cuts The Second is larger and still more
advanced in language and in subje Gets. The
THIRD contains familiar Bible stories and
the History Of FOUR footed animals H.
Illustrated with plates showing the compar-
alive size Of nammalia, with familiar des.
criptions of each specimen. The Fourth
relates to Human Physiology, Birds, Mis-
cellany and Natural Philosophy, not softly
written but in good plain Enlish, interest
ing for old folks as we'll as young. The
FIFTH relates to Human Physiology and
Health, Botany, Geology, Fishes, Serpents,
Miscellany, &C., &c, all finely illustrated
where it is possible so to do. In addition
to all this the latest rules Of Elocution are
taught, the works are well printed, of uni
form length and breadth and suited to the
capacity of those who are to be instructed.

Ne plus ultra Of School Readers and we
hope to see them introduced into all our
schools. Published by Harper & Brothers.

Of Freights east, but we are assured by G

that the Company regard our interests on

their own. At McGregor the shippers of
Produce arc dependant on the state Of the

January - 1894

The weather has moderated considerably, and bus
mess is very active thus far in the week. Pork and
Wheat, under the advance in prices, is coming in
freely about 500 loads we're weighed on Tuesday at
the City Scales and perhaps as many more on priv
scales necessarily authorized by the council to get the
teams out Of the street. Dressed Hogs have filled all
the warehouses and lying piled in front Of
most of them with guards at night to protect the
swinish treasure. McGregor never saw such rush
of teams such display Of dead porkers. BY ex-
aiming the report of BRYpcss you can see the re-
ceipts last week-a look Mt the Report OF BBNrss
Bios. & Co. will give you the markets here, at Mil

Reasons for Life Insurance.

Reasons for Life Insurance.
Life and fortune uncertain.
life Insurance substitutes certainty for An uucer-
tanty certainty of leaving competence for the
uncertainty Of life in which to acquire it.
It is reliable. Based upon we'll determined laws OF
Nature, it has hitherto proved a resource.
1t Is easily obtained, beng brought by its cheap
nsss within the means of almost every one, who has
good health.
It adds to the security given by the possession OF
property already acquired by furnishing ready money
to settle the estate at . time when monsy most
needed.
1t contributes to longevity frequently, BY giving
great relief from mental anxiety in time Of serious
sickness.
1t provides for the payment of just debts, the pay
ment Of which may be cont ingent upon uncer-
tain life.
An ''eadowment Policy" will protect a family dur.
ing their dependent years, and furnish support for
the insured in old age should he live to be old.
An Investment Of sir cents day will insure man
aged 20, One Thousand Dollars, thus protecting his
family against want.
The safest, cheapest and best company for western
men to insure in, is the MUTUAL LIFE INsuRA Ncs
COMPANY OF WISCONSIN,.
1t now possesses an income Of over $1,000 600
per annum.

Northern men need not be jealous Of those
who first draw prizes from the wheel of the
Provost. All will get one, ia time. The
plan Of subjugation and ,efusal to listen to
any proposition-evcn one Of return to
the Union-must necessitate call for all
the able bodied men of the North and the
sooner they make up their minds to this
destiny, the less suspense they will have
to disturb their sleep. Some of them pre-
fer, like ARENAS, to send "all their rela.
tons" before experimenting with musket,
though they are in tremulous anxiety to
see others ''pitch in" No amount Of talent
is spared to show the infany of prayer
for Peace and any amount Of labor is EN-.
ployed to secure recruits equivalent to the
quota Of each district. "The disgrace of q
draft" is talked Of nov universally, but
when Gov. Seymour, the patriot and States
man, called it such and requested time to
make up the State quota by enlistment, he
was denounced as 'disloyal." Well, 1.-THE
world moves" and here we all are. The
Government must ultimately negotiate,
abandon its policy, or order us all to the
field-ths sooner it decides the better. The
latter is inevitable If the present policy
against negotiation and for re construction
on the Massachusetts basis is adhered to-
We may as well look it in the face now as
TO affect blindness. The circle is narrow
ing. POWER and not LAW will shortly
mark out our duties and then "TOC
LATE!" will be the knell Of great PEG
pie who, in the language of Elwood Fisher
4'lost their own liberties in cndcavoring t.
free the negro!"
