dition our two Academies for a
very small per cent OF what It
would cost to educate our children
in foreign schools. Besides, If
we will but do our duty towards
the renovation of these buildings
and the upbuilding of prosper
Gus schools in them, we can have
ourc children educated at home, save
much money in the end, and en-
hance every orderof business in our
town. But until we do make
these improvements, we and our
schools are comparative failures.
The character OF houses and ap-
purtenances limited at in this are
Just as essential to success in
schools as well appointed store
houses are to success in a mercan-
tile business. For, however much
taste and caution the merchant
may display in the purchase of
his dry goods, and, however much
skill and prudence he may exer-
else in their sale, yet, if his store
is without counters, shelves and
drawers, or inaccessible for mud
holes or blockaded by huge rocks,
he will fail of success. Just SO
with the teacher. He must have
the conveniences and appliances.
But our Female Academy. at
present, stands in gloomy neglect,
unenclosed by u foot of fene ng,
exposed to the tramp and en-
croachment of every variety of
stock, unsupplied with a drop of
water and with only one old soil
tary locust tree to furnish shade
for the school. Now [ have
written facts only aud have but
touched upon them, shop-
ing that something may be done.
In all good conscience we ought to
do better. EARNEST.

DON'T WHIP HIM.

Our Bobby was pinching the kitten,
And kicking his primer about,
And pulling beetle to pieces,
His face all awry in pout;
His mamma, who silent and patient,
Had heard all his fretting and noise,
Now reached for he..whip on the mantel-
The terror of four year old boys.
Butgrandma, with snow white 'kerchief
Pinned over her warm, loving breast,
Where ten little heads had been pillowed
- And rocked into childhood's sweet rest
Looked up from her little wool stocking,
just finished and laid on her knee
And said "Dear, you'll ruin his temper,
You had far better let the child be.
sDon't whip him his father before him
=. Was fogged and shut up in the dark,
And stood on one foot in the corner,
And disciplined up to the mark
We gave him no credit for honor,
But watched him as spiders watch flies
And what did it teach him ? Why mainly
To practice deceit and tell lies.
ave called it affection and duty
God knows we were fond OF the boy
But Iguess his remembrance of childhood
Is not quite weli-spring of joy.
Soput up that willow whip, daughter,
And try little Bobby once more;
You see he's forgotten his passion,
And lies, half asleep, on the fOor."
Then grandmother lifted her darling,
And patted his head on her breast,
And sang an old fayorite ditty,
Till all Bobby's woes were at rest.
And so the wee whip, bright and yellow
Was laid on the mantel again
And that is the way these grandmas
Spoil nine little boys out of ten.

Attacked by Alligators.


a gentleman who has been
stopping in our midst for some
time, gives an account Of the
most terrible scenes ever re-
corded in the annals Of our
country. While steaming up
the placid waters of the Ocla-
waha river he witnessed the
conflict which made his hair
stand on end, never to be forgot
ten. After rounding Sackett' $
Point the stream widens and
deepens, and the water at this
bend always looked troubled
and black. Suddenly the
steamer encountered a sea of
alligators, foundering and
splashing water in every direc-
ton. The believing shook the
foundation of the waters. The
captain says he never heard or
witnessed such a scene before
never wishes to again. Be-
fore the speed of the little
steamer could be checked they
found themselves in the midst
of these terrible monsters. To
90 back or ahead was imDossi-
bic. The passengers endeav-
cred to drive them away by
shooting and the hands Oh board
beat them with hand spikes, yet
they seemed more determined
to obstruct the passage Of the
boat. IL f..
The situation every moment
became critical, and the crew
and the passengers more and
more exhausted, and the de-
struction of the boat seemed
inevitable. Already three col
ored hands had been deyOured
by these terrible monsters, and
several others wounded. Sew
eral planks had been torn from
the hull. and the steamer was
with difficulty kept from sink
ing. just at this period a
source of relief came. A huge
serpent appeared, making his
way from the lakes-the same 1t
is supposed, that was seen at
Devils Elbowlast fall. The al
ligators soon diappeared follow
ing the sea devil or what ever
you may call him, and such
fighting never was witnessed.
At a point where the river sud-
denly narrows it became block
ed with dead alligators, and the
water was red with blood. 1t
is difficult to account for the
number and sudden appearance
of these animals, but the latest
theory may throw some light
upon the subject. 1t is believed
by many there.is a subteranean
passage of water between the
headwaters of the Ocklawaha
and the waters of the OkehoO-
bee lake, and these monsters
have found their way here in
great numbers, and if not soon
extricated will obstruct the
navigation Of the Ockwahala.

fession, but intending lawyers and
philologists have to go to Copen-
hagen. to finish their education.

hagen to finish their education.
There is, however, one serious
fault with the education of the
lcelanders, namely, ,thatit is almost
exclusively theoretical, 1t may
be praiseworthy enough to seek
knowledge for the sake of knowl-
.edge-itself, without any3ulterior
aim of making money byit. But
people may 60 too far even In
this respect To acquire knowl-
edge without turning it to an use
full account is little better than
laying up store of provisions
without tasting mouthful of
them. Those of my countrymen
that go to the college do SO in or
der to qualify themselves for a
government appointment in the
church or elsewhere. But when
that is obtained they do not go
further. We have many good
Greek and Latin scholars, histori-
ans, arch@ologists, poets, etc, bat
very few study natural science,
chemistry, or political economy,
and not a single architect or en-
gineer is to be found in the whole
island. The result is that we
have no buildings except in the
most primitive style. Gu the
other hand, our country may be
rich i in minerals for aught we
know; it has never been explored
for such purposes by competent
men. The peasants follow the
lead of their betters in this re-
spect. They study history, gen.
ealogies, theology, even philology /;
but they do not take the trouble to
study how their cottages might be
built better, how the soil of their
| farms and the breed OF their sheep
and cattle might be improved,
| their boats built in a better and
safer manner than they are, &c.
/ venture to say that the popu-
lation of Iceland is better educa-
ted theoretically than the same
class Of people in any other coun-
try; but at the same time | am
sorry to say that their practical
education is worse than that of
anyother people. AHE

A Curious but True Story
A Corpse Its own Pail Bearer.


From the Oakland (Cal.) Transcript
About week ago the San
Francisco newspapers contained
notices OF the death of
James Hunter, at San Rafael,
giving the day on which the
funeral would take place in that
town. On the day appointed
for the burial, large number
Of the friends of the family re-
siding in San Francisco, and
several ladies and gentlemen
who formerly were intimately
acquainted with the deceased
and his family, and had since
taken up their residence in
Oakland, repaired to San Rafael,
to attend the funeral of their
old friend. Mr.. Hunter, it may
be stated here, was a liquor
merchant of San Francisco, and
had a country residence in San
Rafael, and having a very large
circle of friends the funeral
was largely attended. The
church, in fact, was full.
The ceremonies were conduc-
ted with much solemnity, and
produced a deep and visible
effect upon those who had
known and esteemed the de-
parted one. A gentlemen who
was present-who by the way
is a prominent city official of
Oakland, who had deemed it a
binding duty to attend the last
rites of his friend-informs us
that a number of ladies and
gentlemen who had accompa-
MED him from this city and San
Francisco were so much affec-
ted by the sermon and the loss
sustained by the death of Mr..
Jas. Hunter, that they were un-
able to restrain their tears and
sobs of anguish. At the con-
clusion of the ceremonies the
pall-bearers gathered around the
coffin and proceeded to carry
it out of the church, when one
of the San Francisco ladies
was observed to step forward
from her seat and throw her
arms around one of, the mourn
er's neck, and in a ha1fhysteri-
cal manner exclaimed, "Oh, Mr..
Hunter, we thought this was
your funerall"
Here was an episode with a
vengeance! The coffin was SET
back on the altar, and around
the interrupted pall-bearers
gathered some twenty or more
of the delegation from San
Francisco and Oakland, who had
come all the way to San Rafael
to attend the funeral of James
Hunter. Some held back, their
superstitions forcing the belief
in their minds that their friends
ghost stood before them rather
than flesh and blood in reality.
AS the "yaller kivered" books
say, "Let us draw the curtain
which hides the dreadful mys-
terry" Mr.. James Hunter, liq-
nor dealer of San Francisco.
who had a country residence al
San Rafael, was as dead as g
door nail, and SO completely de-
funct that even Gabriel's trum-
pet wouldn't awake him at this
epoch of the world. But there
were two James Hunters, botf
liquor dealers, and both were
lucky enough to have a higf
old scene, asmight supposed
Let us drop the veil.

A Political Anecdote.

a contributor to the Boston

"reminiscences writes thus
On his way from Washington
to Detroit, just after his nomina-
,tion, Lewis Cass passed through
New York. He was accompanied
by a large number,of leading poll.

described as Cass' pall-bearers, who

Washington, and met with John
Van Buren, in the ferryboat cross
ing the Hudson to Jersey City
to take the train to Washington.
We sat together all the way
The Washington depot was then
on Pennsylvania avenue. On the
avenue we met Mr.. Rives, the
proprietor of the Globe. He was
going past without noticing Mr..
Van Buren,, who stopped and
spoke to him. Rives looked at
him and said in rather sharp
way, "You are pretty Democats
in New York to allow the State
go for Taylor and defeat the Dem
ocratic candidate" Van Buren,
replied in quiet jocose way, eyes,
Rives, it was too bad, as you say
but the truth is. Cass hart the old

then parted, when Mr.. Van Bu-
aren remarked to us that he thought
Rives had not gained point in
that game.
