AN English grocer prides himself
ona ''bonus system for cash payments. :"
He gives each customer little brass
check for the amount of his purchase,
each time, and at the end of six
months trade redeems his checks by
paying two and half per cent in
goods. He calls it a great success.
1t has largely increased his business,
and has induced most of his old slow
going. credit customers topay cash on
the nail. The nimble sixpence salts
fies both buyer and seller better than
the slow shilling.

Important Educational Move


At a meeting of the most distin-
guished Educators of the State, held
at Columbus in December, it was
agreed, after a full and free discus
sion, that the following resolution ex-
presses the views of the Educators
of Ohio:
ResoEced:-That we earnestly rec
ommend the passage of the codifed
school bill now pending in the Sen
ate, so amended as to restore the sec
tions of the bill as originally report
ed to the House, providing for the
reorganization of the school system
in townships"
Our readers will understand that
the proposition is to abolish the cum
brous and irresponsible system of
sub-districts and sub-district Direc-
tors that now obtains, substituting
therefor the Township system, put
ting all the schools, school houses,
school books, teachers, &C., under
the control of single Board
We believe that the system pro-
posed VIII. nd the Schools of many
complications, that its tendency viii
be to develop better system of in
struction and more uniformity there
in; that better grade of teachers
will be employed, and that the people
will like the plan better.
Out only suggestion would be that
the Township Boards shall be COM
posed of one member from each,
School District, to be chosen by the
qualified voters CT the District. This
would satisfy the people as to the
representation, and, at the same time.
give each school into the care of q
man personally interested in its pros
perity.- Eaton Reg.

AMYSTERY.

BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.
The river hemmed with leaning trees
Wound through its meadows green;
low, blue line of mountains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp, tan peak above them al
Clear into sunlight sprang;
saw the river of which sang,
The mountains of my dreans
No clue OF memory led me on,
But well the ways knew;
A feeling of familiar things
With every footstep grew.
Not otherwise above its crag
Could lean the blasted pine;
Not otherwise the maple hold
AlOft ID red ensign.
So up the long and shorn, foothills
The mountain road should creep;
Sc, green and low, the meadow fold
Its red-haired kline asleep.
me river wound hs Il should wind;
Their place the mountains took
The white, torn fringes Of the clouds
Wore no unwonted look.
Yet meier before that rivers rim
Was pressed by feet of mine,
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
A presence, strange at once, and known,
Walked with me as the guide;
The skirts of some forgotten life
Trailed noiseless at my side
Was II dim-remembered dream?
Or glimpse through ICONS old?
The secret which the mountains kept,
The river never TOLD.
But from the vision ere IT passed,
tender hope drew,
And, pleasant as a dawn of Spring,
The thought within me grew,
That love would temper every change,
And soften all surprise,
And, misty with the dreams of earth,
The hills OF heaven arise.
PAPA"
What is SO sweet as the baby's voice
Papa, papa?"
II Of all music had my choice,
I'd choose the pure little ringing voice,
Calling, cooling,
Tenderly wooing-
"Papa, papa"
You wrong it by saying It's like bird
'tPapa, papa"
No soaring lark that you ever heard,
Or robin, or thrush, or bobolnk-
Not even nightingale, think,
Has note so tender, so soft and true,
A voice that SO thrills one through and through
Calling, cooling,
Tendehy wooing-
"Papa, papa"
Life has its sorrows-they're not to be missed
Losses and pain;
But when baby puts up her dear face to be kissed
There's always balance of JOY in the scale;
When hear her sweet voice my heart cannot fail
Calling, cooling,
Tenderly wooing-
"Papa, papa"

Let me give few other simple di-
rections for keeping peace. One is:
Hold your tongue! There are more
quarrels smothered by just shutting
your mouth and holding it shut than
by all the wisdom of the world. You
may be obliged to speak; you may be
mother or o father, and have to
scold your children; you may be a
teacher, and feel called upon to re-
buke with all long suffering, and with
suffering that is not so long some
times; but ordinarily, in common
life, more than two-thirds of all the
things which come up for remark had
better be let alone just hold your
tongue.
The old Greeks said that aman had
two ears and one mouth, that he
might hear twice and speak once, and
there is great deal of good sense in
it. Yeu viii find that if you simply
hold your peace, you will pass over
nine out of ten of the proyocations of
life.
'cBut what if men sayand do things
SO provoking that you cannot hold
your tongues" Then above all things
hold it. .--.-.....--.. .--..
Closely allied to this direction for
keeping the peace is another, which
is: Let things alone. Do not med
die with things. Do not pick at
them. You can make an ulcer out of
a pimple, if you only pick it enough.
All that is necessary is just to pick
it. Leave things to themselves.
When things happen, do not talk
about them. If things happen in the
neighborhood, do not try to settle
them. The Lord deliver me from
those Dom Quixotte settlers of trouble
who go about the neighborhood fan
ming to fame things that would die
of themselves if let alone. The ma
jority of troubles in life are like sin
gle sparks. Ifyou let them remain
single, they will very soon go out,
and nothing viii be left but ashes;
and ashes burn nobody But if to a
spark you put some kindling- stuff,
and blow it, you will soon have q
flame. The little troubles of life,
which are of daily occurrence, and of
which there are so many, are to be let
alone-[H. w. Beecher.
