Funeral Rites in Greenland.

There are some very curious funeral rites
in Greenland, where, on its becoming evil
dent to the friends and relations of an
Esquimaux that, either from sickness or
old age, he is in very bad way, solemn
conclave is assembled and long consulta-
ton held, in which it is debated, pro and
con, whether the sick man eau recover:
should it be decided against him, the fiat
is announced by deputation as a fact in
which the sick man is bound to acquiesce.
No extravagant demonstration of grief ac-
companies this avowal, for it seems to be
regarded by all parties as an inevitable law
of nature that the man must die, and they
therefore accept it philosephically. Soon
after the decision is made known to the
patient he is borne to the door of his
snow-hut by his friends, bow and arrow
placed in his hands, and with such strength
as is left to him he shoots; and as the ar
row leaves the bow-strings so sewers his
connection with the things of this life-for
on the spst on which the arrow falls the
grave of the living man Officially regarded
dead) is at once made; and sewn up in his
kayak, with his weapons beside him. he
is deposited therein without further less of
time. The last scene in the life of an Es-
quimaux would make fine picture; the
cluster of snowhuts standing like pigmies
amidst the huge masses of blue-black ice;
around, the clear piercing air, illuminated
only by the wavering flashes of the aurora
borealis; in the fore ground the group of
fur-clad figures clustering round, support
ing the fainting form of one whom they are
instructing in his last voluntary act, which
sewers his ties to this earth forever.

The Bible in the Public Schools.

A correspondent of the Goshen IN. Y
Democrat, gives the following reasons why
the Bible should be retained in the Public
Schools:
II is q suitable book to be read by learners,
because it is one of the best specimens Of
the English language in existence; and
suitable book to be studied by scholars be-
cause its history is the most ancient, its
style the most elevated, its morality the
most pure, its truth tho most sublime and
its assertions the most reliable of any in any
language. While ninety-three per cent.
of its words are pure Anglo-Saxon, its pre-
cepts and prohibitions and predictions and
promises are SO thoroughly interviewer with
the spoken and written thought of the peo-
pie, that much of it would be uniutellgible
were it not for that general acquaintance
with tie Bible which is largely acquired in
the Public Schools.
We should keep the Bible in our Public
Schools because those aoho clamor for its re-
moral cfsr as nothing acorh hauing in its
place. Those who insist upon secular in
struction alone, must take away not only
the Book itself, but all ether books contain
ing extracts from it, and all those explana-
tions which it alone satisfactorily gives re-
specting the origin and condition and des-
tiny of the world and of mankind Take
away the only source of knowledge respect
ing those truths in which the human soul
is most profoundly interested, aud it would
require but single generation to demon
| strate that universal Generalization is inev-
table without religious restraint. The re-
suit of such an experiment is a matter of
history. We are told that in brief period
after the secularization of education in
France "the foundations of civil society
were broken up and scenes of horror ensued
which no man can look back to without
shuddering at the depravity to which hui
man nature, uninfuenced by religion, may
reach even in an enlightened age and coun-
Try"
The Bible should be retained in our Pub
| lie Schools because 1t alone is tie true stand
ard By uhich the human conscience can be en-
| hghtened. Itmatters not how learned man
may be, if his conscience teaches him te
call good evil and evil good, he canuot be
so good citizen or legislator as he whose
| integrity is incorruptible, because he is
consciously evershadowed by the presence
and is ever submissive to che will of the
God of the Bible. The divine standard of
right and wrong cannot be too early and
too constantly before the eyes and in the
memories of the children and youth of our
land. And that there is continually in
creasing need of cxhalting rather than hid
ing this standard, appears from the well as
certained fact that "the large body of our
German fellow citizens hold generally the
following opinions, viz: That free congrega-
ton for any and all purposes, and the ami
hi'ation of every dosmatc religious convic-
tion are synonymous with progress; that
religious teaching is only an effort to
make enc doubt what they know; and that
! every priest is an enemy, and Sunday an

How 10 Write for the Press.

Write plainly, especially all names of
persons or places, all words not in common
use, all quotations, technicalities. legal,
medical or scientific terms. Mark your
sentences by proper punctuation; round
your periods; don't leave the compositsr to
cudgel his brain over your "pot-hoeks and
hangers" and to dig out your meaning
from beneath the rubbish Of obscure and
involved sentences, and then blame the
stupidity of the printer for not being able
to comprehend your own. Printers gener-
ally are apt at deciphering ordinary chirog-
raphy, but very few of them understand
Choctaw, Esquimaux, Chinese, or Egyptian
hieroglyphics. Write plainly, if you would
be printed correctly. Be brief-come to
the point-no ircumlocution-much in
little-be terse, vigorous-no surplus YER
biage. There is difference between
writing for the newspaper press and per-
forming the duties of the essayest or PAM
phleteer. The object of the latter is to
amplify-of the former to cendense. In a
word:-write plainly, write briefly.

The Census of 1870.

The ninth census Of the United States
will be taken under the provisions of the
act of May Esd, 1850, on the first of June
next. The assistants are paid as follows:-
Two cents for every name taken: ten cents
for every farm; fifteen cents for every pro-
ductive establishment Of industry; tive
cents for every dead person; and two per
cent of the gross amount Of names emu
merated, for social statistics, and ten cents
per mile for travel. 1t will be seen by the
foregoing that the compensation allowed
an assistant or enumerator, provided the
district allotted to him shall not contain
less than 20, 900 persons, will be about $500
or more.
The United States Marshall is forbidden
by law to accept any bride or consideration
for an appointment of assistants, and is
liable to fine of $1,000 should he be con-
victed of so doing.
The law provides that each assistant,
after qualifying, shall perform his duties
by personal visit to each dwelling house,
and to each family in his subdivision, and
shall ascertain by inquiries made by some
members Of each family; if any one can be
found capable of giving the information,
but if not. then of the agent Of such family,
the name of each member thereof, the age
and place of birth of each, sex, color, etc.,
and shall also visit personally the farms,
mills, shops, mines or other places respect
ing which information is required. and
when such information is obtained and
entered in his blanks, then his memoranda
shall be read to the person furnishing the
facts for revision.
There is a penalty for refusing to furnish
the required information to the assistant.
The act provides that every person more
than twenty years of age belonging to any
family, in the case of the absence of the
heads and other members of the family,
and is required to render true statement
of the information required, on pain of for
feiting thirty dollars, to be sued for and
recovered in an action of debt by the assis-
tant, to the use of the United States.

The reader is of course familiar with
Thackeray's verses on the bouillabaisse.-
Thinking of his old Paris student days, as
he eats the dish at restaurant in the Rue
Neuve DIES Petits Champs, Thackeray in
this stanza recalls several of his ancient
friends
"There's Jack has made a wondrsus
marriage,
There's laughing Tom is laughing yet,
And brave Augustus drives his carriage,
And poor old Fred's in the Gazette.
On James's head the grass is growing,
Geod Lard! the world has wagged apace,
Since here we set the claret flowing
And drank and ate the bouillabaisse."
The "laughing Tom" was Mr.. Thomas
Fraser, who died very recently. The
flames" on whose head the grass was
growing was James Smith, the brother of
Horace Smith, and one of tho authors of
Rejected Addresses

CAPTURING SEA TURTLEs.-A curious
method Of capturing sea turtles when
asleep in the water is practced in some
parts of the East, by means of the sucking
fish, or remora, a well-known fish, about a
foot long, having sucker on the top of
the head, by which it attaches itself to
bodies in the water. A number of these
fish are kept alive in cages in the water,
and when sleeping sea-turtle is seen at a
distance, string of suitable length is tied
about the narrow part of the tail of one of
the fish, which is pointed in the direction
of the floating animal. The fish instinct
lively makes for the turtle and attaches it
relf, and the string being then carefully
drawn in, both animals are hauled within
reach and secured.

April.

Stitchwort's out in frock of white,
Celadine the Chrysolite;
On the bank the primrose springs,
And with larks the welkin rings
April in the sunny lane
Bless her! she is come again,
Hanging, on the spiky thorn,
Lamps to light the early morn.
Life and Love are on the hills;
Cow>lips wear their spotted frills;
Meadow maids their melted studs;
Daisies nod to yarrow buds;
Campions with crimson flush;
Eiolets begin to blush;
Speedwell opens too her eye;
And the kingcup wooes the sky.
Here in dainty azure see,
AS in merry meckery
OF the soft cerulean dome,
Blue-eyed hyacinth at home;
Mark the heritage of the delIs
Purpled with his faery BELLS
Bells. which peal sweet notes of JOY
Heard by every truant boy.
Listen to the chattering pie
And the babbling jays reply!
While the thrush repeats his song,
And the blackbird tunes his tongue.
Hear the chiff- chaff, finch, and wren,
GoSsiping in yonder glen,
Needless Of the cookoo's lay,
Woods all green, o, come away"
Now all lovely things combine
To create sense divine:
Young grass sweetens much the sight
Music gives the ear delight;
Flowers make sweeter too the touch:
And of taste-say who o'ermueh
Beauty's honeyed lips can praise!
Allthese sweets bring sweet spring days
