Mr.. Publisher .--G's dissertation on
"School Books" is so pertinent to the pre-
vailug fashion of securing school books
for students of the public schools, that 1t
will not perhaps be deemed impertinent to
make one query concerning the required
books"
1t was remarked thus :-"Let the board
be duly authorized to examine the statis-
tics they have in hand, and estimate there
from the number of books of the several
grades necessary to supply the several
schools of the State, and having made such
estimate, let them advertise to receive seal
cd bids from the 1st of january, 1871, to
the 1st of May following, from the differ
ent publishing houses of the country, for
tho lowest ratetper copy at which they will
furnish the required books Of \ No. quail
ity, and having received such bids they
shall close contract with the lowest bid
ders."
Now, Mr.. Publisher, will not G.. please
bring to notice whether the board IS to offer
to receive bids for such books as are or
shall be used in the schools, or for such
books as the publishers publish? In 9TH
or words which are "tho required uooksg'
As for instance suppose the State assumes
it best that Davies University Arithmetic
be used shall the board offer to receive Il
bid from the publishers OF that book for
a supply of the same, or Is it expected all
the houses in the country will say for what
they will furnish Davies University Arith-
metic, respectively? 90.

remember the apparently painful con-
dition of soldier, whose right leg was
drawn up at All angle from the knee-the
result of rheumatism, he insisted. He was
known TO be a skulker, and several sur
goons had examined the limb and found no
appearance of contraction of the muscles;
but all their efforts to pull it into shape
were useless. Some of them became con-
WINGED by the stubbornness of the member,
insisted that it could not be fixed, and ad-
vised the mans discharge.

Napoleon, when at st. Helena, asked
Count Montholon, "Can you tell me who
Jesus Christ was?" The question was de-
clined, and then Napoleon proceeded,
"Well, then, | will tell you. Alexander,
Caesar, Charlemagno and myself have
founded great empires; but upon what did
these creations of our genius depend? Up
on force; Jesus alone founded his empire
on love, and to this very day millions
would die for him. l think l under
stand somethinglof human nature, and l
tell you all these were men, and l am
man; none else is like him; Jesus Christ
was more than man; l have inspired
multitudes with such an enthusiastic de-
votion that they would have died for me,
but to do this it was necessary that should
be visibly present, with the electric intu-
euoe of my looks, of my words, of my
voice. Wh,n l saw men and spoke to
them, lighted up the flame Of sclf-devo-
ton in their hearts; Christ has alone sue
ceeded in go raising the mind. of man to-
wa rds the unseen, that it becomes insensi-
bio to the barriers of time and space.
Across a chasm of eighteen hundred years,
Jesus Christ makes demand which is be-
yond all others difficult to satisfy. lie asks
for that which Il philosopher may often
seek in vain at the hands Of mis- friends, or
a father of his children, or a bride of her
spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks
for the human heart He demands it un-
conditonally, and forthwith his demand is
granted. Wonderful! In defiance of time
and space, the soul of man, with all its
powers and faculties, becomes an annexa-
ton to the empire of Christ. All who sin
cerely believe in hint experience that re-
luarkable, supernatural love toward him.
This phenomenon is unaccountable-iti is al
to gethcr beyond the scope Of mans crea-
tive power. Time, the great destroyer, is
po werloss to extinguish this sacred flame
time can neither exhaust its strength, nor
put limit to its range. This it is which
strikes me most; have often thought of it.
This is it which proves to me quite convinc-
| ingly the divinity Of Jesus Christi

manner peculiar TO her, as if she never
could FULLY commit herself to anybody's
company.
"Three weddings in three years ought to

"This is such dreadful marrying family

I'd just drop in and tell you that it's the

cause mother is a widow and has to depend

Steven is very serious and business like

PRETTY uV'O.HR.r.

After ALL is tho world so very absurd in
its love of pretty women? A pretty wom-
an is doing womans work in the world;-
not making speeches, nor making pud-
dngs, but making life SUMMER and moro
beautiful. In a society resolute to be ugly,
there is no post for an Adonis but that of Il
model or guardsman. But woman door
for mankind what man has ceasedto do.
She clings to the Poriclean idea. Her aim
from very childhood is to be beautiful.
Even as a schoolgirl she notes the progress
of her charms, the deepening color of her
hair, the growing symmetry Of her arm,
the ripening contour of her cheek. We
watch with silent interest the mysterious
reveries of the maiden; she is dreaming of
a coming beauty, and painting for the glo-
res of eghtoen. Insensibly she becomes
an artist, her room studio, her glass an
academy. The hours work with her, but
she works with the hours.
What silent musings before her mirror,
what dreams, what discoveries, what dis
! appointments, what careful gleanings OF
| experience, what sudden flashes of inVon-
| ton! Tho joy Of her toilette is the joy OF
Raflaello over his canvas, of Michael An
| gelo before his marble, She is creating
beauty in the silence and loneliness of her
chamber; she grows like any other great
art croation-the result of patience, of hope,
of thousand delicate touchings and re-
touchings. But even to the Giocondo, the
moment Of periiectness, Of completion
comes at last; tho Master takes the work
from tho easel and gives it to the ages
Woman Is never perfect, never complete
A restless night undoes tho beauty Of the
day; sunshine blurs the ovanescent color
ing OF her check; frost nips the tender out
lines of hor face into sudden harshnoss
Her pencil has oven to be at work, ever
while the hours work for her, and the hour
! work against her at last -ErchdRgc.
