who had suffered long and severely, have been

might know, and show to the world, that great
good had been effected by any LIFE INv1GoRAToR.l

From Peters Musical Monthly for April
AMT SWEET?
Ny good mama, she feels so sad,
And saysI am u firt,
Because I go to promenade =
All in my walkingskirt; I.
She hinks1o ught to be ashamed :
To go outins the street,
With clothes, she says, all fused and fixed, :
To show my little feet. :
We want the sanction of the gents.
In all our styles of clothes;
And yetIiove to please mamma,
But more to please the beaux.
And ever thus you1lfind it is,
When aides walk the street;
They'll try and manage some good way
To show their pretty feet!
Our bonnets now arc but q "MITF,"
Though "MIGHTY" dear they cost;
Beneath our furbelows and BOWS
Our little forms are lost /;
The tiny heels upon our shoes,
They are SO gay and neat,
. Andssolely made, you may be sure,
To show our handsome feet!
With parasol above me hold,
And our Smamma' to see,
I f%ascinate the darling men
Where'er 1 chance to be.
"Oh, what q charming lovely girl ~
Ihear them oft repeat,
To make their hearts go pit-a-pat,
1show my pretty feet!
CHORUS.
, Ain'tIsweei, amt I sweet?
know I'm sweet, and i've a right
To promenade the street,
M glad T am there is a style
To show my pretty feet.

MeetInEor,he Peabody Fuud Trus1e,

Meeting OF Ihe Peabody Fund Trustees
BALTIMORE, Jan. 22.-At meeting of
Board of Trustees of the Peabody Fund
to-day, Sam. Watson, Of Tennessee, was
unanimously elected to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of W. G. Rives, of
Virginia.
The report Of DR.. Sears says since his
last report especial attention has been
given to Western Virginia and Arkansas.
Tennessee has a school law, but not so
perfect as Western Virginia or Arkansas.
The subscription list system is its worst
feature, introducing nothing but con-
fusion and disorder. Unfortunately also,
the school fund has been placed as securi-
ty for State debts, and until recently no
distribution has been made, except to
schools, and then only to small amounts.
The school law, although of nearly two
years standing, is just beginning to take
effect.
A year ago there were few or no
schools. Now there are in several coun>
ties an average of about fifty schools.
Knoxville city has now completed a
system Of graded schools, for support
of which $4,000 are paid from its treasury
and $1,000 from the Peabody fund.
Attendance, nearly equal to that Of the
whole county.
Four Of the civil districts Of Tennes-
see have received various amounts, from
$500 to $1,000 Similar arrangements
have been effected in other States. Per-
haps no city has made nObler advances
than Petersburg, Virginia.
The convention adjourned TO meet
again on the third Thursday in January,
1870
