Man versus Woman.

4. A man falls In love just as he falls
down stairs. 1t is an accident, perhaps,
and very probably amisfOrtune; some.
times which he neither intended, nor
,fofesaw, nor appFehended. tButiwhen
he runs In love, it is as when he runs
in debt, it is done knowingly and in
tentiohally. and very often rashly and
foolishly, even il not ridiculously, mis-
erably. ] Marriages, that are made up at
watering places are mostly of this rum
ming sort. But, the man who is mar
ried for melei worldly motives, with
out a'speck Of affection ON the wOman's
part may vertheles5 get, in every
Wofldly Sense of the word, a good wife;
but when aCwoman is married for the
sake of her fortune, the case Is altered,
aIa6i the chances are a hundred to one
that she ifarries avillain,i or at best a
se6andrels silf Watering places might
with equal propriety, be called fishing
places, because they are frequented by
female anglers, who are in quest of such
pfeyAthe elder for their daughters and
the younger for themselves. But it is
a dangerous sporf, for the piscatrix Is
Iotlmofea likely to catch d prize than
she is to be caught by a shark. AS for
iscourting ladies, we rather affect the
proposition ofa waggish writer: Let
US widowers and bachelors form an as
ISOLATION to odeclare, for the next hun
dfed years, that we will make love no
longer. Let the young women come
and make love to Us; let them write us
verses; let them ask us to dance, get us
ices and -sups of tea, and, help us of
with our cloaks at the hall-door; and if
they are eligible, we may perhaps be
induced to yield and say-'La Miss

From the. Elmira Advertiser, May ls0di oi ~
Almost, -iflnotquite, a year ago, some
half dozen or more of yeungl lads and
misses, aid of them members of the
families of some ofour most reputable
citizens, took it into their heads to- be
married. Whetherit was a premedi-
tated affair." considered as a joke, or
was the wild freak ola moment when
they were all collected together, and
each one more Or less excited to it by
the presence of the others, we cannot
say, but the ceremony was privately
and secretly performed for each couple,
and theywere really and truly married.
That many ofthem considerit merely
a joke is borne out by the fact that, af-
ter the performance, each returned to
his or her home. AS the time passed
along, one after another, two or three
confessed their situation and their con-
duct to their surprise and saddened
parents, and the marriage, which is
said to be aIlegal and binding one in
all there cases was acknowledged

From the Berrien County Record.
The School BOO6 Sni,die.

We know of no one subject within
the State that needs reform so greatly as
the present School Book system. There
is no one thing that costs the people so
much money needlessly. There Is un.
doubtedly every year thrown away more
on School Books, ten fold, than on any
item of expenditure in which the public
is interested. How stands the case !?
Books, of course, are copyrighted, and
publishers have their own prices there
for. This could all be endured, if it
was not for another and greater evil,
viz the multiplicity of books i'll the Sc.
ries of the several studies. For instance,
we have in some series of school readers
as high as seven, In Arithmetic almost
an eqoal number, and Geography and
Grammar will not fall whit behind the
others. Now, the truth in the case is,
and no one posted, who is not Interested
in the sale or publication of School
Books will dare deny it, that less than
one.half the number of books properly
arranged would answer the purposes OF
education fully as we'll, if not better than
the present arrangement. But look at
the expense to the parents of the State
Four hundred thousand children to cdu
cate within the State of Michigan, 800,
| 900 of whom attend school. Now t
furnish School Books, according to thC
present system, it will cost annually, no
less than 81 100000. One-half of thi
sum, at the very lowest estimate, is vir
tually thrown away. Thus the parent.
of the State of Michigan are yearly re
CURED to throw away three quarters o
q million of dollars without one solitar,

item of good resulting therefrom. Is it
not time that the people were rising en-
masSe against this monstrous swindle, the
present School Book system? 1t is time
that every district, in all the State, cried
out against it in such language as not to
be misunderstood. Let the subject be
agitatcd till the Legislature shall be
compelled to adopt some plan to protect
the people from the School Book sharks
who seek out every district that they
may prey thereon.
In the meantime, let each district pro.
tect itself, so far as possible, through its
School Board. Under the present law,
School Boards have the authority to de-
termine what Books shall be used in the
School. Let the Board designate the
Books to be used, and instead of having
the seven different readers in series,
only adopt three or four. Say the first
third and sixth. This will be sufficient.
Then let the same course be adopted rel
ative to Geography, Grammar and Arith
metic. This, at least, will reduce the
expenses Of furnishing books to about
one.half the present amount. True, it
will not be SO profitable to publishers
nor booksellers, but their loss will be the
peoples gain,
Moreover, we can see no reason why
Michigan should pay tribute of nearly
a million dollars yearly profit to outside
parties to furnish books for our Schools
Think of it Only ten years and ten
millions of dollars tribute clear profit,
will have been paid to parties outside of
the State for the supply of our School
Books. No wonder the people begin to
feel burdened with this useless expendi-
ture, aud cry for relief
The difficulty can be met and over
come, if the people SO will it. Let them
demand, by district meetings, county
meetings and general convention, that
the next Legislature shall take hold of
the School Book question and do some
thing to relieve the masses from this
enormous expense and fraud. Let the
Legislature appoint committee, whose
duty 1t shall be to prepare uniform Sc
ries of School Books for the entire State.
If this committee cannot procure the
copyright, for the State, of such books
as arc deemed best to have in our Schools
for reasonable compensation. let them
prepare new ones in their stead. When
this is done, let a Publication Associa
ton be chartered to publish and furnish
the School Books for the State of Mich
igan, as approved and prepared by such
committee, for ten years, at certain
stipulated percentage above cost. With
an arrangement of this kind at least
$l0,00Q,00O could be saved in ten years
to the people of the State. This woulG
eifectually guard the people from sucf
outrageous prices and useless number Of
books as they are now compelled to sub
nit to, aud would undoubtedly meet tht
hearty approval of the people of the en-
tire State. Let the press and the PEG
pie agitatc the matter and relief vii
come sooner or later.

POi7ui0r Education.

The Lansing Republicans in late
issue says;
We have u deep and strong love for
the common school system. All the
education we ever had outside of
printing-olfcc was obtained in common
school-house before we were thirteen
years of age. Hundreds of thousands
of men who are now doing their share
of the useful work of the country, and
filling respectable positions, can say the
same. Common schools rouse the facul-
ties, sharpen the intellect, excite emula-
ton, and teach boys and girls to observe,
to remember, to reflect, and to work
their passage successfully and honorably
through life. They do more, and what
in q Republic is of the first Importance
they accustom the young to investigate
and discuss national questions; teach
them the history of our country; the
proper division of powers between the
local, State, and national governments,
and the well.known abuses of power"
which the Church has practiced when
united with the State They help fit
our youth to exercise the right Of suf
fragc with wisdom and patriotism when
of the proper age. They accustom the
embryo voters to see questions decided
by appeals to reason and justice, instead
of torturing opponents by the Inquisi-
ton, or burning them at the stake, or
massacreing them on st. Bartholomew
Day. They inculcate lessons of candor,
liberation, courtesy, and forbcarance, by
mingling together the children of all
classes, conditions, and creeds, during
several years of tender susceptibility
and requiring them to behave kindly to
ward each other, and laying the founda-
ton of countless friendships among
those of different opinions. The com
mon schools, with one aim and one
method, mould us into one nation, and
make a real Union possible by harmo
nizing and civilizing the people
1t would indeed be impossible tt
maintain Republic for any considera
. bic time without general education
Some of the States have wisely made i
a constitutional provision that voter
shall know how to read and write
Nearly all the connections we have hat
have arisen among the ignorant, --thost
men who either had no common schoo
facilities, or who were prevented b,
f dcmagogues or priests from attending
, school. Those who get up whiskey in
surrcctions, draft riots, pro slavery ant
. sectarian mobs who burn orphan asy
j. lums, attack professions, and gag public
