OUR BOOK TABLE.

In WooD's HOUSEHOLD MAGAZINE for
November, the table of contents seems
spread for a Thanksgiving feast, and
| gives evidence that no efforts have been
spared that could add to its excellence.
ga Sermon on a SKINNER - is not only
pleasing in its quaintness, and original
ity, but contains sound logic. eMrs.
Polneroy's Pin Money,"is capital. cup
on the Stand" is another m%eritorious
sketch, by the popular writer Kate w.
Hamilton. "Codish and Potatoes" by
Eleanor Kirk, is a short serial which
opens well. "Growing Aged Togeth-
err" by the Rev. Robert Collyer, is well
worth the price of a years subscription;
it is full of this great mans eloquence
in its very simplicity. There
are many other interesting articles had
we space to mention them. The poetry
in this number is unusually good. A
new feature of the magazine is the in
PRODUCTION of pictures, and h %illustra-
ton, "Past, Present and Future here
given, is exceedingly pretty.

Going to School Once in a While.

The notions which some people en-
, terrain of school-going, and progress
in study, would be simply amusing ii
they were not supremacy mischieyous.
"Please to excuse Jimmie for being
tardy. He was necessarily detained
to go on an Grand" "Will you
please to excuse Samuel for being alb
sent. He was needed at home to help
i'm the store" "Please to excuse Mike
to conc home at half past 2 O'clock"
&C., sc. And so it goes on day after
day-the pupil is perpetually robbed
of his most important school advan-
tages by these endless petty intrusions
and depredations of the home author
tiles. Now how in the name of COM
nonsense can these fathers and moth
ers expect children whose attendance
is thus meddled with and broken up,
to regard the school work as of much
importance-to keep along with their
classes decently or to make any syste-
matte or healthy progress in learning?
How, too, can these parents expect
teachers who have to deal with those
addicted to this vagabond style of
attendance, to keep up q steady and
consistent Classification of their pu-
pils-to keep III, the pupils interest in
his studies, or 10 care anything for
the pupil himself? The fact is, this |
liberation of the irregular, halfway
acknowledgement in this. system of
petty requests and xcuse for absence,
is one of the most fragrant vices of
the home management of ~school-chil-
dren. The school cannot prosper
under it the child car make no sue
cessful progress under it. You might
as well put your tea-kettle on to boil,
and then every little while, ask to
have the fire excused to go out; you
might as we'll start your cucumber
vine, and occasionally step in with
your pocket knife, and ask to have
two or three inches of the stem ex-
cused to be cut out !; you might just
as well expect water to boil or Gu
cumbers to grow, as children to learn
successfully by such irregular, desul-
tory sort of effort. Have your child
do one thing or the other, either go
to school or stay at home.

"Pay your debts" suggests some
sapient exchange. Don't you see, it
adds, that if Brown owes Jones, and
Jones owes Robinson, and Robinson
owes Smith, and if they all pay, COM
mencing with Brown, there will be
plenty of money in circulation. All
very nice on the face of it, but sup
posing Brown has nothing but a GER
tilted check to pay Jones with in the
first place, what then? Or, still fur
Their, supposing that Brown pays
Jones, and Jones pays Robinson, and
Robinson pays Smith, and Smith very
quietly tucks his little pile away in
his pantaloon's pocket, what then?

a Pointed Retort.

Shortly after the October election,
our old democratic friend, John Hol-
dcrman, was engaged in a discussion
with a few Radicals over the result,
when IN of them with some excite
ment remarked: Ntlfat since the Leg
islaturc had gone democratic, he felt
glad that the democrats had the Gov
crnor, for now we viii hold you to &
strict accountability for the manage
nicnt of the State government" "That
is right replied Holderman, "but I
hope ron will be consistent and apply
the same rule to the National Gov
eminent, where the Republicans have
Hhe coDtroI, and not attempt to divide
responsibilities with the Democrats
WHO arc in the minority" About
That time there was a scatterment
among the indorsers of the salary
grabbers and the glory of Grants

The Eaton Register talks about
"money being free,n SALOONS being
tapped and whisky buying votes,'
for Democratic candidates. Now we
would like Mi. Morris to tell us how
much more money was spent or how
many more saloons were tapped for
Democratic or Independent candi-
didates than for Mr.. Corwin, his can
didate for State Senator? The "whis-
ky..argument" is a hackneyed express
sion with the editor of the Register,
and one which he no doubt considers
extremely sharp and cunning, but that
it has any more influence with a Dem
ocrat than with a good, square Grant
Republican, is positively doubtful
After his hearty support of a whisky
candidate for President and a Whis-
ky Ring candidate for State Senator,
we think he should keep shady about
whisky candidates and whisky inau-
ence.

 We have not had disposition to brag much on the business of this village for some months past, as it probably has been about as dull as other places, but we can readily see that it is really brightening up, and our merchants are rapidly preparing for the spring rush by filling up their stores with the most desirable goods. Messrs. Gaylord & Underhill, w. Watson, jr, and j. F. Gibbs propose to attend to these things, and are manifesting a degree of en- teIprise not at all behind that of former years. Nr. Conn, the druggist, very qui etly attends to his business, and, spring trade or no spring trade, he says so long ,as people aoSH get sick, he will of course have to fix out their doses of ''lixerpro and pei legolic," and tinker them up again. John w. Lain has been raising the frame for his barn, and will soon have his house under way...... Traces of the epizootic still exist in our neighborhood, there being now sev eral horses sick with that disease. The grand opening ball of our new landlord, Comstock, March 18th Qast week Wednes- day) was one of the grandest affairs of the season. Whites Band from Winsted fur nished the music, and everything pertaining to the event was arranged in first class or. der. It was quite generally remarked that the table could not be surpassed in the country, being heavily loaded with every thing the taste of an epicure could suggest. This entertainment>was patronized by tue elite of the town. GlTuPANGIT.

THE NEW POSTAL CARDs.-The contrac for the manufacture of the new postal cards has been awarded to the Morga En- velope Company, of Springfield. Mass. The magnitude of the contract may be judged from the following facts: The contract is to go into effect May lst, 1873. It is to run four years. The number of cards to be furnished the first year is 1OO,- 900, ,000, but the number may be increased indefinitely at the option of the post-mas- ter general. They are to be done up in paroles of twenty-five and placed in strong pasteboard or straw boxes, each to contain 800 cards. When 4.OOO or more cards are required to fill the order of postmaster, they must be packed in strong wooden box es, we'll hooped with iron,, the expense of packing and of freightage to Washington being borne by the contractor. Five mill ion cards shall be ready for delivefy on the first of May, and the orders of the post masters thereafter shall be filled with all reasonable dispatch. The contractor must also furnish free all the blanks required by the department to be sent out with the cards; also blanks for daily, weekly and quarterly returns of the number manufac- tured. The contract is not assignable, and the contractor must furnish $lO0, 900 bonds to guarantee its fulfillment. It is estimat
 ed that it will take one ton of paper day
 to fill the contract the first year, Valles

He brought letters 10 the statesman, who kindly invited him to dinner. Mot take 8 glass of wine P said the statesman in wonderment and surprise. Mot one single glass of wine?' echoed the statesman's beautiful and fascinating wife, as she arose. glass in hand, and with grace that would have charmed an inebriate, she endeavored to press it upon him. Mo-" said the heroic youth, resolutely, gently repelling the prof fered glass. What picture of moral grandeur was that.

How MIRRORS MAY BE RUINED. The Mercantile Journal remsrks: ''Il is fact worth knowing, but which does not seem to be generally understood, that the anal gam of tin-foil with mercury, which is spread on glass plates to make looking glasses is very readily crystalized by ac,inic solar rays A mirror hung where the sun can shine on it is usually spoiled; it takes agranulated appearance, familiar to house. keepers, though they may not be ucquaint- ed with it's cause. In such state the art- cle is nearly worthless; the continuity of it's surface is destroyed, and it will not re fleet outlines with any approach to precis- ion. Care should. therefore, be exercised in hanging. If any of our readers" have mirrors which appear to be spelling it would be well to ascertain whether the di- rect rays of the sun strike them. If thus exposed they can probably be saved from further injury by changing their position. The back as well as the front must be pro- tected. A small glass hung in window, where the rays strike it behind, is particu. larly exposed. The back should always be covered where the rays are likely to touch it."
