The Public Schools.

One of the most important measures to
be adopted by the present Legislature is
that of establishing and regulating the
Public Schools. A bill has been prepared
by the Superintendent of Public Instruction
which is calculated to make the schools effi
Gent. There are some objections to the bill.
but its leading features are important and
should be adopted One of Its leading
features is to establish uniformity in text
books. the want of which was the great
impeachment in the way of the success OF our
former School system. 1t may be argued
that this will be attended with too much
cost. We think not Let the State Board
of Education prescribe what books may he
used. then arrangements can be made with
publishers by which books, maps, &c, may
be procured at greatly reduced rates. The
selection may he in use for three or flee
years, but by all means let there be uniform
ity. Teachers Institutes can then be made
u success. When teacher goes from one
school or township to another he will not
have to adapt himself to a new order of af
fairs, or new plans of conducting recitatiOus.
This is a gitaI part of the bill and must be
adopted if our schools are to prosper.
TTOUdDly IL WOulu uC uo We'll III piCoCut
for School Committees to perform their SER
vices for no pay, but the School Examiner
ought to be paid for his services He mnst
be a well educated man, and should be en-
gagged most of his time, and no one who is
fit to perform such important duties will
work for nothing.
The regulation of school hours is another
very important point. The old fcsy notion
of having school from sunrise till dark
ought to be exploded. 1t has caused many
child to grow up in ignorance. Let the
Legislature see to it that the little children
of the State are not unnecessarily kept in
close confinement Ample time should he
given for Rotations and other exercises,
but no school should be in session more than
six hours per day, and in many instances not
SO long. Let the Legislature adopt good
school law. This will do much towards
retrieving past errors. DELTA.

MANURE.-If there is any one thing we
have resolved to make a "hobby" of, it is
the subject Of manure. And, fearing some
of our farming friends may forget it, we
will remind them that winter is the harvest
time for manure, just as the summer is the
harvest time for wheat. Every farmer will
admit that he cannot labor successfully
without the use of manure; and yet nine
tenths of the farmers of the South attempt
that which they all SO readily admit to be
impossible Guano and other standard
fertilizers are not to be ignored but the
farmer must not neglect his composts even
though Peruvian guano were sold at one
half its going price

Making ugly Faces.

Mr.. EDrToR:-The flaming editorial in
the Sentinel of the morning of the 18th inst.
reminds one of the following anecdote:
Two boys once got into fight, and as it
usually happens, one of them got decidedly
the advantage of the other--in other words
thrashed him pretty soundly. Never you
mind," says the second best. IF I can't whip
you l can make ugly faces t,gour sister"
So it is with Josiah Turner, Jr., of Orange

tion) and his conspirators. They tried their
hands with Uncle Sans-got licked, and now
they vent their spleen by making ugly faces
at every body" and "every thing" not in
accord with them of the "sore head"
Time works wonders. and Jo and his
friends will get better after while. So mote
it be. CALEMUS.

). She Always Made Home Happy.,'

6 She Always Made Home Happy"
In an old churchyard stood a stone,
Weather.nlarked and staiued,
The hand OF time had crumbled 1t,
SO only part remained
Upon one side could just trace
In memory of our mother"
An epltaph which spoke oil "home"
Was chiselled on the other.
Pd gazed on monuments of fame,
High towering 10 the skies;
I'd seen the sculptured marble stone
Where great hero lies:
But by this epitaph paused,
And read ii Ger and Ger,
For / had never seen inscribed
Such words US these before.
"She always made home happy" What
A noble record left!
A legacy OF memory sweet
To those she loved bereft.
And what testimony given
By those who knew her best,
Engraven on this plain, rude stone
That marked their mothers rest.
1t was an humble resting place,
knew that they were poor,
But they had seen their mother SILK,
And patiently endure.
They had marked her cheerful spirit,
When bearing one by one,
Her many burdens up the hill,
Till all her work was done.
So, when was stilled her weary heart,
Folded her hands SO white,
And she was carried from the home
She'd always made SO bright,
Her children raised monument
That money could not buy,
As witness OF noble life
Whose record is on high.
A noble life but written not
In any book of fame,
Among the list OF noted ones
None ever saw her name.
For only her own household knew
The victories she had won,
And none but they could testify
How well her work was done.
Better than costly monument
OF marble rich and rare,
Is that rude stone whose humble face
Such words of honor bear.
Oh may we chisel on the hearts
OF those III home we love,
An epitaph whose truth may be
Witnessed for US above.

POLICIES VALUABLE In LIFE As AT DEATH!

The Brooklyn Life Is the only Company
IN the country which guarantees a defin-
lite surrender.value to every policy on
which two or more annual premiums have
been paid; this amount, in dollars and
cents, is endorsed on every policy issued.
Should any policy.holder become u:able
to pay his premiums, he can thus know
the cash worth of the policy at any time
after two annual premiums have been
paid.
This certainly is fhe greatest induces
ment and most tangible advantage ever
accorded to parties insurins their lives.
Among the advantages offered by the BROOK
LYN, which thoroughly evinces the determine
tion Of the officers to make 1t the MOST LIBERAL
Lille Insurance Company in the United States are
LIST. TOTAL REMOVAL OF ALL RESTRICTIONS ON
TRAVEL AND RESIDENCE. The Assured may
travel or reside anywhere they choose, the world
over, without extra premium or special permit.
3D. A Loan of one-third of the Premium to
the Policy Holder Annually.
Sd. All Policies are non-forfcitable alter two
full annual premiums have been paid.
4th. Rates as low as are consistent with fnan-
cial soundness, and less than those of almost all
Companies which ACCOMMODATE tnelr assureu
with loans.
5th. Dividends annually latter second Year, in
cash. Dividends are divided on the CONTRIBUTION
PLAN-the only equitable manner OF dividing the
the earnings Of a Lite Insurance Company. The
Contribution Plan was first conceived by Mr.. d:
P. Fackler, now Actuary of this Company and
has been adopted by mo of the best managed
Life Companies in this country.
The BROOKLYN LIFE has paid and now pays
to its Policy holders LARGER DIVIDENDSt than
ever before paid by Life Insurance Company
9th Promptitude in paying losses.
7th No charge for policy or stamp.
The success which the BROOKLYN has
achieved, fully eSempifed in its rapid and health
full growth, is convincing proof OF the conf
dence reposep by the public in its soundness, IN
tegrity and liberality.
