Curious Facts OF History.

Many things have been used at diff
ferent times for money; cowrie shells
in Africa; wampum, or beads made
of clam shells, by the American Indl-
ans; soap, in Mexico. The Carthage
mans used leather as money, probably
bearing some mark or stamp
Frederick II, at the siege of Milan, re-
viving this custom, issued stamped
leather as money. In 1850, John the
Good, King Of France, who was taken
prisoner by the celebrated Black
Prince, and sent to England until ran
somed, also issued leather money, hav-
ing silver nail in the middle. Salt is

A Hymn Of Peace.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HoLxrs

To the music Of Kelicy's "Anerican Uvmn. \
Dr. Holmes has written the following
hymn for the Peace Jubilee In Boston.
Angel Of Peace, thou hast wandered too lono,
Spread Thy white wings to the sunshine Of
love!
Come while our voices are blended in song
Fly to our ark like the storm beaten dove,
Fly to our ark on the wings of of the dove
Speed DER the far-sounding billows Of song,
Crowned with thine olive leaf garland Of
love
Angel Of Peace thou hast waited too long.
Brothers, We meet, on this altar Of thine,
Mngling the gifts We have gathered for
thee,
Sweet with the odors Of myrtle and pine,
breeze of the prairie and breath Of the sea.
Meadow and mountain and forest and sea!
Sweet is the fragrance Of myrtle and pine,
Sweeter the incense We offer to thee,
Brothers, once more round this altar OF
thine
Angels Of Bethlehem, answer the strainl
Hark! new birth song is fllling the sky!
Loud 40 the storm. wind that tumbles the
main
Bid the full breath Of the organ reply
LIE. the loud tempest Of voices reply
Roll its long surge like the earth shaking
Swell the vast song till it mounts TO the sky!
Angels OF Bethlehem. echo the strain!

A writer on education in the Vic.
toria Magazine suggests that when
children at school find it difficult to
learn given lesson, and patience of
both scholars and teacher becomes
nearly exhausted, if they be sent to
the playground for a few moments
they will return with zest to their les.
sons. Children are called stupid and
obstinate when they do not readily
learn their lessons, and are punished,
while, perhaps. some trifiing lndisposi-
tion, TOO slight even to be detected by
outward signs, or even some uncom.
Portable feeling, is at the root OF the
matter, and is the hidden cause of
their stupidity, which punishment, far
from removing, only increases. II
there was some relaxation prepared
tor the body when those stupid fits
overtake them, the teachers would not
SO often have to complain OF the oh
tuseness of their pupils, and the aggra-
yation Of their own labors.

A good black board is indispensable
in school-room, and children cannot
be accustomed to use it too early. It
often happens, however, that the
wooden black-boards in use, have be- J
come SO smooth as to be useless, and
appeals to the Director to re-paint
them are not complied with. In such
cases the teacher should have some
means Of dong the work cheaply him.
self
These old boards can be easily re-
generated by first washing them with
hot water and soap, and then painting
them with mixture Of iampblack in
thin solution OF glue in water. In
quart OF water, containing two ounces
of glue thoroughly dissolved, stir
enough lampblack to make good
paint and you have preparation that
will do for any kind Of wall or board.

the originator Of the celebrated PLANTATION

and sold by one Pedro MartcNe, an old
Spaniard, in the Island of ST. Thomas over
iorty years ago. as every old sen captain can
testify. Nov, Sir, eau certify to the above
as being true, for I have followed the sea
for over forty years, most of the time doing
business with the West Indies These same
Bitters, differently put up and named,
were brought to my notice on my drst trip
to the Island of st. Croix for a cargo of
rum. and for years and years after my ships
stores were never without them. always
supplied my family and many of my neigh
bors with them, and can truly say a better
Bitters and Tonic is not made in all the
