Of a young lady and gentleman, at fashionable

over her swanlike neck. Finding the heat OF
the room too much for them, they sought the
cool shade Of an arbor where they might listen
to the fountains tall. The m usic rose and fell

OF about three hours our young friends entered

TIE New York Tribune, discussing the
school system, says there are two evils to be
provided against, viz, the incapacitv Of the
schools; and the inability Of the majority Of
children to avail themselves OF the facilities
already offered on the condition now exacted. 1t
proposes, for the abatement OF both these evils,
two separate and distinct school sessions each
day, Of three hours each, one set of children oc-
cupying the class rooms in the morning, and
another set In the afternoon. Children improve
Just rs fast with three hours teaching day az
