POETRY.
SILVER CHAIN RECITATION.
BY GERALD MASSEY.

High hopes that burn'd like stars sublime,
Go down the heavens ofFre"dom
And true hearts perish in theitim
When We most sOrely need them.
But never sill we down. and say
There's nothing leti but sorrow
We walk the wilderness to-day,
The promised land tomorrow.
Cur birds OF song are silent now,
There are no flowers blooming!
YET life beats in the frozen bough,
And Freedoms spring 10 coming!
And Freedoms tide comes up Away,
Though we may stand In sorrow;
And our good bark, aground to-day,
Shall float again tomorrow.
Though hearts brood DER the past, our eyes
With smiling failures gllsten!
For, 10 our day bursts up the skies:
Lean out your souls, and listen!
The world rolls Freedoms radiant way,
And ripens With her sorrow;
Keep heart who bear the cross to-day.
Shall wear thu crown to morrow.
Oh, YouthI fame earnest, still aspire,
With energies immortal!
TO many q heaven OF pure desire,
Our yearnlng opes por'a!
And though age wearies by the way,
And hearts break IN the furrow,
Wen SOW the golden grain to day.
The harvest comes tomorrow.

WAITING FOR AN ANSWER.

How wretched is the being matrimonially in
clined, en .Hff
Whose charmer wastes year or SO in making
up her mind.
OF all our mortal miseries, no doubt the most
intense ~
Is passing ones existence, like spider, in
suspense.
I've suffered half the agonies to which oui
flesh is heir,
And tooth ache and sciatica seem CHASTITY
things TO bear;
But first among the tortures that man can
undergo
Is when lady hesitates to answer yes or no
At least dozen months ago my martyrdom
began,
And yet i blush to own it, am still q sin.
gle man.
The fault at first was all my own, for wee K
had followed week,
Before plucked my courage up sufficiently
TO speak,
But when breathed my sentiments I breath
ed them in tone
TO pierce heart of granite or Of any other
stone;
Though all the consolation that the lady
could bestow
Was just the sort of answer that you can't
call yes or no.
A month l waited anxiously plain reply to
get;
But no-she'd had so little time for thinking
CT it yet;
Another month was over, and third had
flown away,
And i'll she'd not rejected me or named the
happy day
In feverish perplexity I've passed precious
year,
And quite as far as ever from my object l
appear,
Ny days are each century. they creep SO
very slow,
While waiting in frenzy for simple yes or
There is no man in twenty, / am positively
sure.
Could bear with equanimity the quizzing 1
endure;
For I'm called lucky fellow by every one l
meet,
Receive congratulations in the club and on
the street.
Tomorrow, Pm determined, be the weather
wet or dry,
I'll seek my charmer's residence, a last ap-
peal to Try;
Pll breathe her all my wretchedness, I'll
paint her all my woe;
And finish by insisting on final yes or no.

OF SCHOOL FUND INCOME.

APPORTIONMENT OF SCHOOL FUND INCOME.
The amount apportionrd the past year
was $159,271.38. The ratio of apportion,
ment WAS 40 cents per scholar. The ap-
pOrtloument is made on the basis of the
number of children returned as residing
IN those districts which maintained
school five or more months during the
preceding year, and not on the mum Der
attending school IN those districts, as
seem to be supposed by many school
officers and others. No apportionment
Is made for those districts which did not
maintain schools at least five months dur.
ring the preceding year except in some
cases of peculiar hardship. and these
are provided for by special legislation
The decrease in ratio in the last appor
tlonncnt was owing in part to the fact
that an error was made in the amount
supposed to be subject to apportionment
the previous year, which rendered it nee
ts,ary to use a small part Of the Income
which accumulated between the 1st of
May and the date of the apportionment
of that year. 1t is probable that the
ratio will rise much above 40 cents for
the next pportionment.
TEXT BOOKS.
The total number OF school districts.
irrespective Of the cities, returned as
having adopted list of text books IS
3 ,447, and including the cities, is 2,485
an increase for the year of ITO districts
For detailed statement of the books
used in the different counties, reference
Is made To table No. VII, in the appendix.
The text books used In the cities are
also given.
TEACHERS INSTITUTES.
Forty four institutes were held during
the year ending August 81. Robert Ora
ham, Esq, Of Kenosha has been contin
ued IN the work, as agent of the Board OF
Regents of Normal Schools, and conduct
ed sixteen Institutes very gr atty to the
benefit and Sd l5tactiun OF all concerned.
Various other persons rendered valuable
assistance. The institutes held previous
ly to the LIST Of July, ana not conducted
by he agent were allowed TO the extent
Ut $50 each, # necessary, for expenses.
NORMAL INSTITUTES.
An urgent need Is felt in counties re. |
mote from the Normal Schools, for insti- |
Iute of longer duration than the ordinary
institutes. At leas. three thousand new |
teachers are employed IN the schools oi |
our State each year. Nearly all of these |
have received no other than the ordinary
common school education. Some means |
must be devised to give them, as far as
possible, instruction il the Theory and
Practice of Teaching. Normal Institutes,
conducted By competent teachers, appear
to me to be the best fundamentally for
securing this result. A uniform course
of study should be prescribed, and certi- |

SCHOOL CHILDREN.

1t is estimated that 1000 pupils are in
attendance upon private schools and
various institutions not reported max NJ
an aggregate of nearly 295000 in atten
lance upt schools oil all kinds, which is
an increase of 5000 over the number
returned and estimated for last wear.
But the whole number is more than III.
900 less than the number of persons en-.
titled to attend the public schools and
this fact would be alarming, but for the
consideration that large portion of these
$4,000 school children, so called, say
those between sixteen and twenty years
of age, are really past the average school
age, and have undoubtedly attended
school more or less in previous years
They have now entered upon the active
pursuits of life not few are teaching !;
sime are married. A very considerable
number of children are also wisely kept
at home, because, although more than
four years OF age, they are regarded by
their parents as too young to be sen
to ordinary public schools On the
whole, while the average yearly attend
dance of each pupil in the schools is too
short, it is believed that large compar-
