Where Did the Rich Man Coz

Little Johnny was preparln. for Sun
day school, situated some distance away
when his mother saw one of her neigh
bors approaching in his vehicle. Thi,
nelyhbor, by the way, was called the
erich man." being both wealthy, kind
hearted and liberal TO the poor. Johnny
ran out, and the rich man took him into
his vehicle, as be was going right past
| the Sunday school. 1t was very hot
day, and 30 Johnny took eff his shoes
and stockings to keep himself cool.
When they arrived the excuses had al
ready begun, and as the man was gong
to a church about mile beyond, and
he agreed to call for Jobny on bis re-
turn, hc concluded not to put on his
shoes and stockings again, but leave
them in the vehicle. SO he tripped
lightly into the school, and the man
drove away toward church.
The teacher was just hearing the les.

acquainted with, which WIS the fate Of he

About Schools.

Mn. EDITOR Thinking that a few
! lines from the school room might be of
interest 10 some OF your readers, ! will
trouble you with few thoughts. There
has been a great deal OF grumb bling
about the amount of learning tho child,
rem OF this county receive, for the
amount of money expended, and there
does seem to be good grounds for it.
But to tell where the error lies aud the
remedy for it is what is aimed at. In
the first place the fault lies with the par
ents. They send their Children to
school at the age of five and six and
compel them to go through the disci-
pllnc of well regulated school not
that they may learn for they could
learn more in a half an hour at home
than they can in the whole six hours con-
inement at school but that the parents
may have quiet time at home. The
consequence is that the child AT the age
of ten is Disguised with school and only
attends school for the play that there is
in IL; and the parents say "that their
children do not seem to take much inter
est in the school" guess the teacher
don't amount to much, and as | don't
feel very well" or on some poor excuse
keep their children out of school al
least ono or two days in each week.
Second, the teachers do not make the
school as agreeable as they might. They
make the scholars feel that there il an
impossible gulf between them. The
school should be Il grand family, and the
scholars should be treated alike, and
each one should be made to feel that
he is the tavorite of the teacher.
And the parents should not allow their
children TO lose day and then with
hold their judgement until the close of
the school. In addition. they should visit
the school and assist in every way to
arouse the interest of the scholars; for if
the parents do not take all interest the
scholars will not. TEACHER.

Florida for InyaiIds,

If perfectly equable climate, where
soothing warmth and moisture com
bined prevail, be desirable for comsump
tives, 1t can be found nowhere in the
southern states save in southeastern
Florida. The number of persons whom
| saw during my journey, who had mi
grated to the eastern or southern sec
tons of the state many years before
"more than half dead with consump
ton" and who are now robust and vigor-
Gus, was sufficient TO convince me OF the
great benefits derived from residence
there. Physicians all agree that the con-
ditions necessary to insure life TO the
consumptive are admirably provided in
the climatic resources of the peninsula.
That great numbers of invalids find the
localities along the st. Johns river, and
even along the coast, distressing 10 them

the fact that those invalids go there after
disease has become too deeply seated.

seem impossible for the most delicate in

where on the eastern or southeastern
coast from st. Augustine down. For

amount of property. At Tuscumbia the
Catholic church, female institute, many

poor families in that section of the
country are without homes. the storm

The Way American History Was Once Writ

Mr.. Bancroft is familiarity charged
with writing the history of the revolu
ton in the interest of Washington and
Franklin, and making them out to be
perfect, while be sights or misuscs all
the inferior actors. This charge has no
foundation in truth. He is really very
fair, and knows better than his critics
do how to make allowance for failure,
which could not but exist an such times.
The charge has been nursed by the
amazement, which naturally grew into
indignation, first of individual, and then
of that indefinite being, "the general pub
lie, when they all learned that the seven
years of the American Revolution was
not an exceptional period, in which all
who went and came were saints, Sslons
and Caesars. BY an ingenious system
of writing history, under which the
American youth of the first half of this
century were bought up, all defeats were
omitted, all treasons, except Arnoid's,
passed over, all foilies forgotten, all
cheats forgiven, and one clear sky OF
virtue unclouded was the background Of
the whole narrative from the moment Of
Paul Revere's ride ILL that closing scene
when, amid this tears of thousands,
