Let us Make eur ScheoI Houses
Picasent, Clean and Attractive.
By ELMIRA D.. SLENKER.


Beside an unfrequented spot, the rus
tic chOOl house stood,
Its modest point and moSs-grOwn roof,
h%alfhidden by the wood
Around its laticed windows ching. fresh
flowers and fragrant vines.
While just in front, like sentinels, stood
two protecting pines
Few travellers ever passed that spot,
but stopped awhile to gaze,
Upon a scene that bro ught to mind, their
happy school boy days"
All most one fourth ofall our lives, are,
or should be, spent in the school room.-
There, where SO many of our first and
most permanent impressions are formed,
should be found all that is bright, beauti-
full and good-pleasant faces, happy smiles,
light hearts, and clean cheerful, healthful
and wholesome surroundings. .'Oh yes"
methinks | hear some disc onsOlate, dis
heartened teacher grumble out ooh yes.
it is all very poetical and romantic, to
talk of lattieed windows 'fresh flowers"
and fragrant vines, but suppose it fell to
your lot, as it has so often to mine, to
teach in some old, wretched, WORKOUT
she'll of a building. where the ~clap-boards
on the outside we're falling off, and the
plaster on the inside ditto, where the win
dows were d~isfgured with broken and
fractured glass, and the floor so full of
holes and loose ends of boards that it was
unsafe to walk upon, and the desks and
benches hacked and whitfield till they
looked worse than an old chopping block
What then would you do? Well. if the
inhabitants of the district did not think
enough of their children to provide a bet
ter building for their accommodation, |
should accept the situation"-as L have
many a time lone in the days long ago
when / was a"Yankee School Marm"-
and make the best of it In the very
first place | would invite to a Bee" all
the scholars who felt inclined to come,
and have a general jubilee, and we would
inaugurate a regular house cleaning; the
old broken floor should be secured as
clean as soap sand and water could make
it. the windows washed. the remnant of
the walls white-washed. and the yard
swept. Then if there should chance to be
a good fence around said yard, we would
make lots of flower beds aud set out bush
es and shrubery and
.sScatter the germs of the beautiful.
BY the way->ide let them fall,
That the rose may bloom by the garden
gate,
And the vine on the garden wall"
Then hanging baskets. pot plants and
boquets should be scattered about the
room. and pictures hung upon the wall.
\ few cheap chromos, or even news-Pa-
per pictures with simple paper frames
pasted upon them-any thing which would
lie pleasing and at ~tractive to the eve
Children have an intense love and adj
miration for the beautiful, and appreciate
a clear, neat, tidy, and attractive school
house, Just as much as a good house-keeper
does a clean kitchen, a snug sitting room,
or a nice parlor; and would take as much
pride in keeping it SO if taught that it
was their duty. I suppose there are
house-keepers who do not scrub their
kitchen floors halfa dozen times a year,
and / knosD there are teachers-and lady

Poisoned.

Poisoned.
Mr.. I. n. Babb, wife and youngest
child, Mr.. Henry Babb and wife and Me-
LISA Fitzgerald, all residing in this place,
were poisoned last Sunday by partaking
of milk custard at the noon meal. The
custard was prepared the day before in a
clean brass kettle and as soon as made
was transferred to a tin vessel. 1t is claimed
by the attending Physician that a specii-
ic poison was generated as is liable to all
articles of food in which milk is the prin-
cipal ingredient, that are suffered to
stand some time before eating. The un-
fortunate persons were soon attacked with
sickness, vomiting and painful gripping
The services of DIR. w. r. Sewer were
procured as soon as the poison began to
operate. Mr.. L. n. Babb soon recovered,
but the other cases stubbornly resisted the
antidotes administered. Ali are improv-
ing and are considered out of danger
No blame or suspicion can attach TO the
colored woman who prepared the custard,
but it is n of those generated poisons i'll
tactical diets, which we understand has
not been generally known to the medical
profession, until the last few years. We
expect a paper from the pen of DIR. w.
r. Sewer on the subject. Several cases
of a similar character came under his OBJ
servation and treatment in his Cincinnati
practice, and his article will be of general
interest to the people and of great value
to his professional brethern.

Gallant and godly, making love and

And gaining; by what they call 'hook

And what the moralists call oyer-reaching,
And decent living. The Virginians look
Upon them with as favorable eyes
As Gabriel on the devil in Paradise.
'But these are but their outcasts. View
them near,
At home where all their worth and pride
is placed,
And there their hospitable fires burn clear.
And there the lOwliest farmhouse hearth

With manly hearts, in piety sincere,
Faithful i'll love, in honor stern n

In friendship warm and true, in danger

Thousand seven hundred and eighteen

nine million seven hundred and thirty-6ve

product of one million annually gives
three thousand two hundred and five for

minute has continued for fifty years. No
other book besides the bible, it is believ-
