New Kind 5.s Army Contract.

large cites, sad ii uaay be owing to his fre-
ouent contact with the understandings Of 9th
ers which renders him. at times. peculiarly

aecosted by one of the tribe with the usual
sslutation-" Black your boots, sir! make
'em shines" Looking at his unpublished
"gun-boats" in a contemplatiye way, the
war-worn veteran replied: "Well, | don''

Church Etiquette.

1t is fashionable with many to come in
to church, long after the services have
begun, to the edifcation of the curious in
the congregation and comfort of the
nerves Of the pulpit. 1t has lately been
decided, on high authority, that the fol-
lowing rules are to be observed on such
occasions
"Let the lady advance one pace beyond
the door of the pew she wishes to enter,
halt, about face, and salute. The pew
must then be vacated by such gentlemen
as are in it, by flank movement The
squad should rise simultaneously when
the lady presents herself, and face by the
right flank, then deploy into the aisle, the
head man facing the lady, and the rest
mrching to his right and rear, the direc-
tion of the line being changed by right
countermarch, and forming again into line
up and down the aisle, still faced by the
right flank. The lady, when the coast is
clear, completes her salute and advances
to her position in the pew. The gentle
men break off by files from the rear and
resume their places. Great care should
be taken, of course, by other parties, moi
to enter the aisle when this evolution il
in progress, until it is completed"

An Important School Decision

According to the common school laws
of Pennsylvania, every boy and girl is en-.
titled to fifteen years tutelage in the COM
mon schools, from his or her sixth year
but when the pupil shall have attained
his or her twenty-frst year, the right to
enter or remain in the school Ceases
This subject was lately brought to the
attention of the State Superintendent of
Common Schools, by the application of a
soldier who had reached his majority
while serving in the army, and who wish
ed to enter a public shool. The Superin-
teudent decided that man who had en-
tered the army before attaining his ma
jOrity was entitled to a common school
education for period equivalent to the
time he had lost while in the service of
his country, regardless of his age at the
time Of his discharge from the army
The country has had the benefit of his
services, and cannot thereby deprive him
of his educational rights under the law

have though of getting married
When I've seen thee, Mary Jane,
With thy dainty silks and satins,
With the crinoline and train;
But whisper came across me,
Like sign with omen rife,
'Ah, tits very well to marry,
But oh, canst thou keep a wife !"
There are lsces, there are jewels,
There is many thing beside
That looks charming on a maiden,
But not quite so on bride.
Ifyour purse is brimming over,
You may win and you may wear;
But, alas! if it be empty,
My good fellow, have a care"
So the whisper I have needed.
And | have not offered yet,
But my thoughts are taken captive,
And my heart is on thee set;
Yet feel dare not venture
Till | know, oh, Mary Jane,
Should | be too poor to deck thee,
Couldst thou be contented plain
There are millincrs in plenty
To entrap needless fair;
There are artist, too, in jewels,
There are workers. too, in hair;
Canst thou pass unheeding by them,
Canst thou hold thy purse strings tight,
With dinner party looming,
Or ball that very night!
lfthe last new bonnet suits thee,
Canst thou wear it still the same,
Though newer pattern tempt thee.
Lately handed down to fine,
Will dress or two content thee
When stern Fashion orders more,
And a solitary head-dress do
Instead of half score!
But they tell me am raving,
To expect so strange thing,
And they laugh to scorn my musings,
And the hopes to which l cling;
So fear must resign thee,
And bachelor remain,
Yet | never can forget thee,
Oh too costly Marry Jane
