The very rides round and high,

Mr. Howes gives us some graceful verses OF his own.

FAIR AND FIFTEEN.
She is the east Just ready for the sun
Upon q cl0udlesS morning. On, her cheek
Hath caught the trick OF that first, delicate streak
Winch says earths ight-ward footsteps have begunI
And still her brow Is like some Arctic hight -
Which never knows the full hot bush or noon;
She wears the seal of May and not OF June;
She is the new day, furthest OH from night!
Lurng in promise of all daintest sweetness:
A bud with crimson rifting through ITS green;
The large, clear eyes, so shy their lids between
Give hints Of this dear wonders near completeness
For when the bud is fair and full, like this.
We know that there Will be queen of roses,
Before her cloister's emerald gate uncloses,
And her true knight unlOcks her with q KISS
And gazing on the young MOON fashioned slightly,

For all that she is strange and slim and new,
We know that she will grow III glory nightly.
And dear to loving eyes that first look

probably assign one teacher to four boys. or at most
fve-a teacher who would give to them all MS

this suggestion Mr.. Hale predicted that the ACADEMY
OF high school which would first adopt ste such course
as this would be the school academy which would re-
ceive the best and most promising pupils, and the

faculty of the Norwich Military School, now at North
field Vermont entitled TO that credit They do not
offer simply cheap school, do they pretend to rival
oxford and Cambridge, bnt they do say that
the first fOIr Buys who offer themselves to be
prepared for siy American college, shall have
one competent teacher assigned to them excu-
svely. There is no reason why boys Should

Hale amuses himself over the well-afected surprise
of the daily newspapers at the failure Of nearly half the
