j that showed that the orator, young AZ he was
appreciated the good points in his piece.
"The Brown Thrush" recitation by the
primary department., was recited by the "wee
lads aud lassies" IN highly entertaining man
ner and in excellent time.
1.-The Adopted Child" colloquy by Misses
Ruttie Fitch and Hattie Maynard was equalled
by few and excelled by none. The manner and
spirit manifested by tho speakers show
cd that they thoroughly understood their sub
ject. Few people Of maturer years could have
entered as fully into the spirit of the piece as
did these young girls. An evidence Of this was
the manner in which it aft ccted the audience,
many Of whom shed tears over the affecting
recital.
Little Housekeepers, dialogue by six lit
tie girls Of the primary department. The char
acters were-Little Washerwoman. Little Nee
dlewoman, Little Dairymaid, Little Nurserymaid
and l. -with-nothing-to TODD.
The next two exercises were a recitation,
Little Pet" Mamie Rowland, and declama-
ton, my Boots" Stannie Briggs, and were
both well executed aud highly applauded.
"Seven times One" a recitation by Miss
Bertha Longwell was well spoken.
The singing exercises we're excellent and
showed good degree of native talent as well
as culture.
Among the best OF the songs were the Qua
ker duet. "When | was Maiden, " Burlesque
Band" and beautiful Robin" The first of
these was entertaining in the highest degree.
1t was executed by Misses Mary p ark and Min
ME Dauchy both very small girls belonging to
the primary department. they being dressed in
Quaker garb-the latter as little boy. This
piece was received with such q round OF APP
piause that the teachers were compelled to
produce the actors n second time
The performance was interspersed with read
ing exercises which were OF high order and
showed marks OF q thorough instruction. The
Calisthenic exercises were peculiarly excellent
and were executed with the precision Of q
thoroughly drilled military company.
There can be no doubt but that the introduc-
ton Of these exercises into our public schools
is q matter OF great Importance, and will, to a
great extent. prevent what has been considered
a prevailing evil, the dew elopment Of the men
tai and intellectual faculties, at the expense and
to the neglec, OF the ph ysi cal. The ideal Of a
perfect school system is that the mind and body
should both be developed tog ether; and these
exercises which are practced daily by every de-
partment OF our school are a long step IN the
right direction. Our school IL md eed an insti-
tuition OF which the citizens Of t his village may
well be proud and we cannot but think that our
efficient teachers are worthy Of ali our sympa-
thy and assistance IN their lau dable efforts to
improve and elevate the standard Of education
in our midst. Parents do not give this matter
as much attention as they should. Let them
visit the school at other times than at It's exsm-
nations and exhibitions. They will find that
they cannot occasionally spend few hours time
III better or more profitable way.

Two honest farmers sat talking
Together, one wIntry night,
or farms products, aud prices
And OF money becoming 80 light;
OF the very, very low prices
or Pork, Wood, Wool and Grain,
And oil The hard products
The farmer could obtain.
SAID Uncle John, to the farmer,
II troubles me night and day,
To pay sucn prices, for all my goods,
My debts / can never pay;
Ny house Is small, my barns also,
My buildings are all getting old,
Unless building material gets cheaper
My farm will have to be sold.
With cheerful mein the farmer replies,
Just came from a little town
Where | found Hardware firm,
That's just knocking their goods down,
They say goodbye high prices.
or all goods in their line,
They're going to sell so mighty cheap,
We shall have no cause to whine.
I've made up my mind to give them
My Influence and my trade,
They have a clean new stock OF goods,
OF about every name and grade;
When you say CASH, they sell 30 low
1t does make fellow stare;
They always seem goodnatured
And know they will deal far.
They're sole agents for Detroit Stoves,
The best that can be made
The iron Is smooth, is charcoal burned.
And OF no inferior grade
Every joint fits close and tight
And looks so very neat,
OF all the stoves twas ever made
Those Detroit Stoves will beat.
Well prices are go low there
I've made up my mind to build,
With Nails and Trimmings, glass and sash
My bill is well nigh filed,
And at such rates what beats me
And keep running in my mind,
How men can sel such goods so low
And goods OF every kind.
Hold said Uncle } ohm, who are they
And where can they DO found,
I've looked from tue Lake to kalamazoo
And all the country round.
AS well you know ! ought to buy
4 host OF stuff this spring,
80 who are they Where do they keep:
must understand this thing.
Don't be TOO fast, III tell you more,
III tell YOU Of their Plows--
They're made of steel from top to toe
And will the nations rouse.
And of another kind also,
It's chilled 40 very hard,
1t will pillow almost forever
Without even being marred,
I'll tell you Of their cultIvators,
Their Horse Rakes and al that,
IL they don't beat the specked Jews,
Sir. you can have my hat.
But, perhaps, I've said enough.
Now don't look for any others,
But go to Paw Paw at the old Hardware stand
And you will find MILLS BROTHERS.
Children will take Bars Pectoral Elixir
will cure Group.
