Let no man deceive you in regard to your

tined to figure in the Legislative halls rather
than figure up little tallies in grocery

Vet CIoths-Neglect Of changing their
cloths when wet, is great source of disorder
among men. To remain in wet cloths, when
the body is at rest, subjects the person who
is so imprudent to the united bad effects of
cold and moisture. Much worse consequent
ces however, may be expected when they
are heated by labor and lie down to sleep,
as people often do in their wet cloths. The
diminished force of the circulation and
other powers of life which always takes
place during sleep, causes the bad effects of
cold to operate with much greater danger to
health and life.

VISIT YOUR ScHOoLs.-The desire
TO be noticed, to be thought Of some
importance, is certainly natural in
gredient of the juvenile mind. A
manly independence comes Of mature
wears. and is born of reason and
judgement. While it may be desira-
ble TO cultivate the latter, the former
cannot be overlooked, and should not
be neglected. How often we see child
rem stimulated to great exertion by
kind look and an encouraging word.
Parents would scarcely think Of send
ing their children away alone 10 ac-
complish an important work and yet
they do Just that, when they send
them TO the school room and bestow
no further thought upon their educa-
ton from the beginning to the end of
the term. Your children need your
occasional presence at the school room,
to notice, praise and encourage them.
And even teachers are not without
this childish feeling; they, 90, need
encouragement, and desire apprecia-
ton. il, then, you desire to make
voar schools all you could wish, visit
them often, and pupils and teachers
will be all the better for it.-Bu. Her.
