The Tallahassee Floridian says: "The heighth
OF absurdity, we think, was reached by the
County Superintendent who informed the
teachers in the public schools that they must
either not charge for full month in February
or teach two days over the term in June to
make up the two days short in February Was
anything SO ridiculous ever heard of? That
fellow will be deducting from the teachers
wages for not holding school on Sunday after
awhile"

And shall we breathe in happier spheres
The names that pleased our mortal ears
In some sweet lull of harp and song
For earth born spirits mono too long,
Just whispering OF the world below,

Poetry.
Over the River.

over the river they beckon to me-
Loved ones who've crossed to the farther side |;
Inc gieam of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are drowned in the rushing
tide.
There's one with locks of FURNISHED gold.
And eyes the embodiment of jets own hue;
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold,
And the pale mist hid him from mortal view
We saw not the angels that met him there
The gate of the city we could not see
Over the river, over the river,
Ny darling stands waiting to welcome me.
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another--the household peti
Her brown curls waved in the gentle gale
Darling Roseyl I see her yet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark;
We watched it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew suddenly dark.
We know she is safe on the other side,
Where all the ransomed angels be-
Over the river, the mystic river,
Ny household idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and pale
We hear the dip Of the golden oars,
And catch glimpse of the snowy SAIL
And 10! they have passed from our yearning
hearts,
They cross the streams and are gone for ave,
We may not sunder the vail apart
That hides from our vision the gates of day
We only know that their barks no more
Sails with US DER life's stormy sea
Yet somewhere, know, on the unseen shore
They watch, and beckon, and wait for me-
And sit and think when the sunsets gold
Is flushing river, and hill, and shore
L shalt one day stand BY the water cold
And list for the sound of the boatman's oar.
shall watch for e. gleam of the Tapping sail;
shall hear the boat as it nears the strand;
l shall pass from sight with the boatman pale
To the better shore of the spirit land.
L shall know the loved who have gone before.
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be-
When over the river, the mystic river,
The angel death shall carry me-

Banks for Losings VS.. Savings Banks.
Editor Spectator !:

Editor Spectator:
The Tempter has opened more than one, aye
twenty OF those Banks for Losings in our City.
IN each Of these Banks is counter, on which
old men and young lay down their deposits
the only interest that is paid On the deposits is
10 redress of eyes and fonlness Of breath, and
remorse OF conscience. Every one who makes
Deposit gains loss.
One man goes into those Baaks with full
pocket, and comes cut empty. Another goes
IN with good character and comes out with
the word druak written on his bloated coun.e-
nance.
We have seen young clerk leave his 'si.ua-
tion' In one Of these Banks for Losings. Sew
eral prosperous tradesmen have lost all their
business there. Church members have been
known to reel ont from these seductive haunts
trying to walk straight, but 5acksliding at
every step. What is worst Of all, many, since
the war, have gone in them and lost their lives
and their immortal souls.
Ihe cashiers Of these useful institutions, In
stead Of attractive devices, should post over
the door some such notice as this:
Bank for Losing-open at all hours. Es-
pecially on the sly Sunday mornings and
evenings. Nothing taken but good money
Nothing paid out but disgrace and disease and
degradation and death. An extra dividend oi
desriUns tyemens will be given to old depositors.
A free passage to Psrdttion given to those who
pay we'll at the counter: also tickets to Thorn
rose Cemetery, emitting the holder to Drunk-
ards Craze. All the children of deposition:
sent without charge to the poor-house."
Young men! beware Of these Banks fol
Losings Some bait their depositors with
Champagne; some with ale or Bourbon OF
whisky some with a pack Of cards; some
With dominoes; some with bagatelies; and 9th
ers with billiard table. II you wish to keer
character, keep out!
Young ladies'! never touch the hand thai
touches the whisky-botte. Never wear the
name of man who is enrolled on the deposit
list Of the Devils Bank Never lean on tbs
arm that leans on the bar-room counter. Il
will be a rotten support.
he best Savings Bank for young mans
money is total abstinence pledge. Tne best
Savings bank for bis time is honest industry
and good book. The best Savings bank fol
his affections is a true woman's heart. The
best Saving bank for his soul is faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ.
But II you want your money turned int
black eyes and red noses; if you don't wan
your pocket empted and your character worm
eaten, and your soul drugged with the poison
of the pit, then keep outside Of these Nationa
Brandy Banks for Losings.

Tobacco in the Valley.

Editor Spectator:
learn that many of our farmers
are turning their attention to this important
crop and there is no reason it should not pay
here as it does in Ohio, Connecticut, and other
States, where white is the principal labor. -
Previous to the Revolution, and for several
yeais after, large quantities of tobacco were
raised in our Valley counties, first introduced
by Tuckahoes. From newly cleared lands ~
says Kercheval, in his History Of the Valley,
Two crops in succession were taken, leaving
the soil In the finest possible condition for other
crops" La 1895 the French Revolution broke
out all kinds Of breadstuffs became exceeding
ly hIgh-.wheat bringing $3.50 to So per bush
el, and the Valley farmers abandoned the eul-
tivation of tobacco. In Rockbridge. Botetourt,
Roanoke and up the Valley il still pays and
will pay here. Anyhow, it is worth fair trial
By the croakers who say wheat, &C., don't pay.

Tea Culture.
Editor Spectator:

Editor Spectator:
A Deniston, Iowa, paper notices
the successful cultivation of tea superior to the
imported article, in Crawford county in that
State. This IS no new thing in Virginia. The
Ballards, Of Bedford county, cultivate it still
from the same stock brought over by their great
grandfather, on his return from China. A gen
tleman, who has seen it grow and used it, in
forms us it is as good as the imported article.
He gave quantity of the seed to different per-
sons in Augusta, and We would be glad to hear
the results of its growth here. It can be plan

to the size of a large huckelberry bush, which
it looks something like. 1t needs go plant
