The Ruins OF POmpeIOpOIis.

The ruins Of Pompciopolis, sBcienily
Soil, are very remarkable They are
ave miles west Of Mersin, on the sea-
coast. Twelve years since, . splendid
Roman theatre, nearly perfect, could
have been seen there. IL was built Of
white marble, With wreuibs and tragic
masks sculpturcd in alto reliero upon the
oornice around the top, and in the centre
Of the building were the mutilated re-
mains of white marble statute Of Venus.
But mosque was supposed to be needed
ia Mersin. and this finest Of all similar
relics Of the classic world has been ruin.
cd. aud SOphOcles have given place to
MOhammed. 1t is greatly to be regret
ted that the enlightened governments of
Europe did not assume Its protection be-
fore Turkish vandalism had destroyed il.
More than two hundred fine columns,
forty of which are still standing, attest
the faded glory of this oncc powerful city,
Pompeiopolis was founded by the Acheans
and colony frOm Rhodes. 1t was ori.
ginally called Soli, from which came
'solecism" because the inhabitants cor.
roupted their original language, which
was Greek. 1t was the great port of EN-
try for lconium, and received a large ac
cession to its population when Pompey
n. c. go, conquered the pirates of Pisidp
and Cilicia, and compelled them to settle
in Soil, whose name was then changed tc
PomT eiopolis, in honor of its doubtful
bcnefactor.

Payment Of Small Bills.

The payment of small bills such as
newspaper subscriptions, is matter of
more importance than is usually attached
to it. There are not a few who, in times
when business is little depressed, and
the prospects for the future seem more
than usually unsettled, will hold on to
their cash in hand, tell all the collectors
who wait on them with overdue bills to
"call again." willis the payment would
not give them any serious inconvenience,
and would accommodate large and de.
serving class of creditors. Indeed VIC
know nothing that in quiet way would
60 so far to give animation to the markets
throughout the country as the universal
fulfllment Of the obligation at the first
opportunity. If all the little debts, fol
the discharge Of which the debtors now
have the cash actually In hand, were paid
at once, the wheels of BUSINESS would be
fabricated, and a general jollity soon pre-
vail throughout the land. The first seri
Gus Of effect on trade Of any public ex.
cltement comes from the sudden check oi
those little streams. 1t is true, the large
transactions are arrested, but if everybody
went on paying those little debts the
check would be momentary, as business
would be forced along by the current thus
continually renewed. Let every one
whose eyes fall on these lines pay out hi'
ready money for bills he knows to be due
and stop not until his pockets be emptied
Probably before this is realized the return
current will reach his pocket too, and he
will be able to ell all his obligations
There is as much money as eter. Why
stop its flow ? Let it move on by prompt
payment Of bills nov due, and new bust
ness will catch the inspiration and star
off on fresh gallop.-Ne'o Rochelle

Remedy for the Onion Worm.

The editor Of the Western Rural
says:- The onion worm or maggot which
is so destructive to the onion crop in some
places is the larv@ Of the Onion Fly
(Anthonigaa Ceparum), which eats into
the roots and kills the plants The parent
fly deposits its eggs on the leaves of the
onion, close to the earth, and the maggot,
when hatched, eats into the heart Of the
onion. The Larvae come to their full
growth in about two weeks, turn to pupae
in the onion, and come out perfect flies in
a fortnight afterward. Burning straw on
the surface Of the ground where the seed
is to be sown, is said to be an effectual
preventive of the attacks of this insect
Scot is used in Danvers, Mass, with good
effect. An onion grower in that celebrat-
ed onion locality says he divided his onion
ground into three parts, all Of it having
been well prepared by suitable tilling and
manuring, and was already for the seed
One part was covered with wood ashes,
another with SCOT, and the third left as il
was. The seed was then sown in drills
1t came up very well, and for time all
appeared to thrive equally we'll The
part sown with the SCOT, however, soou
took the lead the wood ashes was next,
but the onion on the part TO which nc
preventive was applied, were entirely de-
atroyed by the worms.

A somewhat eccentric lawyer, being en-
gagged in defending hard case, and not
being Altogether pleased with the rulings
of the presiding Judge, remarked that he
believed the whole court could be bought
with peck Of beans. The Judge, Of
course, took this remark nhigh dudgeoft-
and ordered the lawyer to sit dowh and
demanded Of him an apology for this con-
tempt of court threatening him with COM
mitment for the offence if he did not ap-
ologize. The lawyer after little refec.
ton, remarked that he had said he be-
heved the court could be bought with a
peck Of beans tlrat he said it without re-
Election, and wished to take it baek.

Miscellany.
Culture, o. Cram ?
BY JAMES RICHARDSON.

Do you approve Of giving children the
rationale Of all you teach them?
This question was lately asked by one
who doubted the propriety of "explaining
things" to children; in other words, of
trying to make them understand whatever
they are required to learn.
The question touched the very heart
of the educational problem The yeS or
no, more or less qualified, which any
teacher would reply to it, would deter
mine not only the general character of
his teaching, but his whole theory of edu-
cation--if he had thought enough of his
work to have theory for it. 1t would
show, too, just what proportions ofcuIture
aud cram 60 to make up the education
his pupils receive.
OF course there is much in connection
with every subject that is, as yet, unex-
plainable much of which neither teacher
nor pupil can understand the n tionale.
A stone unsupported falls. Any child
will recognize the fact. He need not be
very old before be can be taught the gen.
eral conditions of falling. He may be
taught that the cause Of the falling is call
ed gravitation. Bat what that cause is,
and what its relations are to the other
forces Of the universe, remains an unsolv-
ed problem. No one can explain it. The
question which we have taken as a text
| did not have reference TO matters of this
nature, but to such as fall within the
scope of elementary teaching--the aohyS
and ,cheretoreS or ordinary processes and
phenomena. at is not often necessary"
it was asked 'to require children to
commit to memory statements and prin-
ciples and rules, that they are at the time
as incapable of comprehending, as they
are the significance of the seventh conf
mandmentP
Probably the majority of successful
taachers-as success is commonly estimat-
ed--would answer the question with an
affirmation. Knowing and understanding
they consider wholly independent Of each
other, their business being entirely with
knowledge They are practical men and
women. They believe in no Utopian
schemes Of education. They know what
is required Of them, and they do it. The
problem set before them to solve is brief
ly: Given so many boys and girls, so
much time, so many pages of this, that
and the other textbook to be transferred
to the pupils memories, SO that they shall
be able to ''stand" the prescribed exam
ination at the end Of the term. They ac-
cept the conditions, do the work, are ac-
counted faithful, land their pupils are
crammed. They may or may not be sure
of the utility of the knowledge SO impart-
ed--if it is right to call that knowledge
which is not comprehended-but they are
sure that such aud snch results will be re-
quired of them. and that TIE required re-
suits can be most easily and surely at
tanned by the method they adopt.
Even if teacher abhors cram, he can
not always avoid it and do the work de-
manded of him. He is but single wheel
in a complicated machiney set to grind
out definite grist, and so long as he
holds his position he cannot act otherwise
than as part of the system. The blame
for the bad results of much Of our school,
ing belongs, therefore, not 80 much to the

The Danbury, Conn, Necy Supple
mcnts that story about the girl who
cuught a husband by writing her name
and address on the lining of a hat she was
trimming, with the following:
This is an old trick, played by several
Of our girls, one of whom in particular
had an eventful Experience. She stitched
her name inside the lining of hat be-
meath the statement: 81 am thine wilt
thou be mine ?" and sent it adrift. After
various vicssitudes it was purchased by
gentleman, and took a position on his
head. One day the lining became loose,
aud in endeavoring to fasten ls his eye
rested upon the sentiment and aahie.
When Martha returned to her home that
day, she was taken to a retired part of
The cottage and warmed up with strap.
The gentleman who got the hat was her
father.
