Take the Papers.
ny N. z. WILLIS.

Why don't you take the papersY
They're the life of our delight;
Except about election time,
And then | read for spite.
Subscribe You can not lose n cent,
Why should you be afraid?
For cash thus paid is money lent
AT interest four-lold paid.
Go, then, and take the papers,
And pay to-day, nor pay delay,
And my word for il is inferred,
You'll live until you're gray.
An old neighbor Of mine,
While dying with a cough,
Desired to hear the latest news
While he was going Off
took the paper, and ] read
OF some new pills in force;
He bought a box-and he is dead?
No-hearty as horse.
knew two men, as much alike
AS Ger you saw two stumps.
And no phrenologist could find -
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the paper, and his life
Is happier than a Kings,
His children can read and write,
And talk Of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolling through tho wood,
A tree fell down and broke his crown,
And killed him-"yery good"
Had he been reading of the news,
AT home like neighhor Jim,
Ill bet cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers?
Nor from the printer sneak,
Because you borrow from his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bill when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer too.

CAR ScENE-"I say, conductor do you

"Yes, I've seen her few minutes"
"By Jove! Shes splendid"
"Yes, l think she is"
Where does she live ?"
"In Chicago, believe"
"pd like to occupy that seat with her"

80 certainly. If you are acquainted with
her give me an introduction; that is, if you
have no objection"
"Certainly not"
"IIow far is she going, do you know"
"Rochester, i believe"
Fixing his hair, moustache and whiskers in
becomeing style, he followed the conductor,
who, on reaching the seat where the lady sat,
said, with peculiar twinkle in his eye :-"My
wife, Mr., of New York, who assures mo
he will die before reaching Detroit, ii he does
not form your acquaintance"
The gentleman stammered, suffered, grew
red in the face, Faltered out some excuse, and
returned to his seat leaving the lady in COM
any with her husband to enjoy the joke.

President Harrison taught for several
years, in an humble Sabbath School on
the banks of the Ohio. The Sabbath be-
fore he left home for Washington, to

advised to keep dog to protect the

its wearers have good reason to be con-

Columbus famous trick of making an
egg stand on end turns out not TO have
been original with him, but was per-

1t is glory to man not to surrender to
evil; but to the truth he can not surren-
der too soon or too unreservedly. There
is no credit in adhering to falsehood or
wrong, to maintain consistency. That is
the policy OF men and devils.

SCHOOL The gov
crnmcnt of schools and of commune
ties or nations, differs in magnitude,
not in principle. The rulers of an
Empire or Republic in establishing
wise aud humane regulations for the
observance Of tie people, find willing
subjects, and ready obedience; in es-
tabllshing cruel code Of laws with
unusual and rigorous penalties, for
minor offences they extort obedience,
void Of the confidence, respect or es-
TEEN Of the suhject-an obedience
that submits to the ills they have,
rather than fly to those they know
not Of. Wisdom in establishing,
tirmness iu enforcing aud moderation
in Furnishing for violation Of rules
and regulations for the police of com.
munitics whether on large or small
scale are the essentials Of god gov
ernment. The torture Of the subjects
of an Empire or Of the citizens of a
Republic has in these days Of Chris.
tian civilization, political advance.
mcnt and social progress came to be
regarded with adherence by all that
have advanced beyond the barbarisnl
Of the Middle Ages, or the intolcr.
ance Of feudal times aud government.
The means Of torture used in pub
lie schools suck as the pulling and
clongating of cars, rudcIy throwing
prostr.tc, children of tender years,
the feru|e, or secret whipping-post,
arc allrelics of barbarism unworthy
Of the age and only demonstrate the

ually the rising generation.
Then again the slang phrases of the
day that no gentleman would willing
ly listen to inplaces of public resort,
are not cesira bic as catch-words for
children, and are beneath the digni-
tyof the gentleman or lady. In
stead of these let the teachers Of the
public schools inspire the youth with
respect, dignity, esteem, true man
hood and uomanly modcsty by proper
encouragement Of every virtue, by
dignity Of demeanor, by moderation
and firmness, and by the use of such
language as shall Undue them with
