School Visitation.

Our schools should be visited. Our
laws make it as binding upon the district
officers to visit tie school as upon the
Superintendent. The language of law
is the same in both cases, and yet many
hold these offices for years and are re-
elected TO them term after term who new
er perform this duty.
The acceptance of an Office implies
the ability and willingr ess to do the du-
ties of the office, and the patrons of a
school have right to insist upon such
performance.
The tracher needs the advice aud coun
sci of those for whom he works.
He needs also the stimulus Of the
presence of his employers, as in any
other business. Parents should know
what is being taught, and in what man
ner, to their children. They should
know what air they are obliged to
breathe, and il il is as fetid as in the
Black Hole Of Calcutta, protest against
it and secure n reform, or snatch them
from its deadly influence. The luxury
Of inhaling stencil is nowhere so per
sisted in as in our public schools. Visit
tlo noI1ol o,1 &c tho H. - ,,Ffarlx,
sickening, open a door or window
before sitting down, and at once call the
attention of the officers to the want of
ventilation, and insist that it be secured.
The pupils need your presence, Few
would risk a poor lesson if a parent or
neighbor was expected to be present to
listen to its recitation. These visits
should be informal. You have no right
TO call the teacher from his work 20 take
your hat or talk of the weather. Let it
be understood that you come to inspect
the management of the school, to learn
how your children are being educated
The schools do not belong to teachers,
but to the citizens of the districts, and it
is hoped these hints may lead to thought
on this subject and a resolve on the part
of every patron of our public schools
to make, at least, one visit to the school
room this winter.

Sleep sweetly, o, my sister,
In the grave where thou dost lie;
Thy spirit will live forever,
Beyond the dark blue sky.
Sleep sweetly, o, my sister,
Thy cares and sorrows are 'er;
We shall never, never forget thee,
But think of thee the more.

Than her we cannot see.
Sleep sweetly, o, my sister;
Thou hast gone to a happy home,
Where heavenly choirs are singing
Where no sorrow II ever come.
Sleep sweetly, o, my sister;
Y0u have met those gone before
You have joined in the sweet anthem,
On that happy, blissful shore.
Sleep sweetly, o. my sister,
Long years have passed at last
Eternity thou hast entered,
To dwell among the blest.
Sleep sweetly, o, my sister:
These are our consultations now (.
Freed from this worlds grief and sorrow,
Anxious cares and earthly hopes no NOR

THE ANTI CONTRACTION BILL.-Follow-

which has been officially announced by Sec
rotary Seward to have become law notwith-
standing the failure of the President to sign
it and return it to Congress:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House Of
Representatives Of the United States Of Amer
lea an Congress assembled: That from and
after the passage Of this Act the authority Of
the Secretary of the Treasury to make any
reduction of the currency by retiring or can
ceiling United States notes, shall be, and is
hereby, suspended; but nothing herein con-
tanned shall prevent the cancellation and de-
struction of mutlated United States notes and
the replacing of the same with notes of the
same character and amount.
Perhaps it is the Presidents neglect to
interpose his veto of this bill that caused the
rumored quarrel between him and Secretary
McCulloch.
