A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati Ga

How TO TEACH PENMANsHiP. - The
School Committee of Springfield, Mass. have
substituted for the old methods of copy books

has been to supervise two thousand pupils in

ing those naturally deficient in the powers OF
imitation, and thus ensuring a uniform and
scientifically correct style, both elegant and
neat. They say the expense is trifiing and
"after an experience of three years the results
are found to be highly satisfactory. The wis.,

WIDOWS AND WIDOWERS are interested in
a case recently decided in the Supreme Court
at Cincinnati, Ohio. George Ripley by his
will devised all his property to his wife, during
her life, on condition that she should not mar
ry again. In case of remarrage or death, the
property was to revert to his children. She
elected to take under the will. In process of
time, her love for her deceased George wore
away, and she began to look around for some
more substantial object of her affections. She
found one who was willing to fill the place so
long occupied by her greatly lamented hus-
band, and soon she was married to Frank
Lngart. She had greater regard for Ripley's
money than his memory, however, and when
the heirs demanded the estate of her, she re-
fused 10 hand it over. Hence suit was
brought. The Court sustained the will and
in its opinion laid down the following very
sensible proposition:
"The husband has an interest in the widow
hood OF his wife, which, it has been well re-
marked, gives him the moral right to annex
limitations to his requests when she is made
the recipient OF his bounty. He may well be
supposed anxious for her happiness, and by
placing second marriage as a bar to his
wife's subsequent enjoyment of the estate de-
vised, prevent an i'll sorted or unhappy union.
He cannot be supposed willing to lavish his
generosity on those he never knew, and Ger
tainly his children, who, during their mothers
widowhood, he might confidently hope would
retain the memory of their fathers counsels,
ought not to be subjected to the control OF
example of one whose only motive in mar
riage may have been to obtain control of the
testator's property. More thar all, the prop
erly, which was the result OF his toll, he may,
without any reflection on his conjugal duties,
be unwilling should be appropriated to the
children OF a second marriage. No obliga-
ton tests upon his estate to maintain any
other family than his own."
