Writing scrlooI-Second Term

Prof CLARK, informs us that he will open the sec
ond term of his writing school on Monday evening
next and with every prospect of an increased atten-
dance. Prof c. has shown himselfnot only supe-
rior penman, but what is much more important to
those who come under his instruction, an earnest
and experienced teacher. ytINft EAff#f
Writing and commercial schools never were so
popular and generally attended as at the present
time. Except in large cities, where profession
al teacher is employed so little time and attention
can given to writing, that it is found impossible
to keep alive that interest in the subject, without
which but little advancement can be made. This is
becoming generally understood as also the fact
that an attendance of two or three terms upon a
really good writing school will do more for the pu-
pill than many years of such practice as even our
best day schools afford. Unfortunately, however,
there is not often opportunity for attending such
q school Letth present one be improved
There will be an afternoon class organized If a
sufficient number wish to attend. Meeting atfour
a little later. Acouple of Gold Pens will again be
given as premiums,

tenth part of the National revenue. This
condition of things is viewed with alarm.
The reform movement, now so popular
among the working men, gains strength, it
is said, from the conviction that the relations
of labor and capital are better regulated
when the laborer is free man. In England,
he is now said to be virtually slave. We
saw, however, sta tement some days ago, from
an English working man, that an extension Of
the franchise would be of little benefit in
making him free, so long as the tyranny of
the labor organizations existed, which virtu-
ally controlled the freedom of action of the
individual laborer-and compelled him to
dispose of his capital, which was his labor
not as he might choose, but as the union might
direct. No worse tyranny than this can be
organized to control individual action, nor is
there more real slavery than that which
submits to such a control and direction of in
dividual action The laborer who submits to
it, parts with his individual liberty to seri-
Gus extent, by which himself and family are
involved, not unfrequently, in privation and
suffering
