When we were boy, if we did any
mischief at school, the stern old peda-
gogue dragged us out on the floor and
hagellated US until We couldn't wiggle.
We were thus placed in an unwigglety
situation on an average of about three
times a day, and we thought it was all
right aud our parents thought it all right,
and the public applauded it, and though
we didn't learn much, We grew healthy
and hardy and saucy. But in this day
and generation the sentiment Of the pub
lie seem to have undergone wonderful
change on the question of school punish
ment. Let teacher but compel child
to stand-a few minutes on the floor, as
chastisement for some misdemeanor, and
the parents or guardians of that child 60
Immediately into paroxysms of range,
and denounce the teacher as monster
and barbarian, and either withdraw the
child from school or. encourage in it
spirit of rebellion and insubordination
that will ultimately lead to its expulsion,
or harsher punishment, as the teacher
may deem necessary. In view of what
we suffered when youth, and what was
commended then, we cannot help being
astonished at the Indignation that's man
ifested in some quarters over the milk
and-water chastisements in vogue at
present. What would these grunIblers
have? Kindness and gentle words ?
These are all very well to talk about, but
try 1t once, and you'll find that kindness
and gentle words fall upon some children
like water upon ducks back, or like
that meteor which fell few weeks ago
no person can tell where it struck. If
this thing continues, and we become
imbued with the spirit of the age. we
will no doubt tottor to school one of these
days and shake our crutch at, and mum
bic our curses upon some teacher who
has dared TO look cross at one of our
grandchildren. But it will be when we
are in our dotage, aud unable to discrim-
mate between justice and injustice. We
trust that for many years vet we will be
able and content to wabble along in that
unfrequented but healthy path that lies
between bull-headed cruelty and velvet
handed etieminacy. y.-Brunaoicker.

Illinois Divorce.

The law of divorce in the State of Iii.
nois has an unenviable name abroad be-
cause the law itself Is either loose or has
been greatly abused. AT any rate Ger
tain of the legal fraternity in that State
make divorce cases a speciality, aud for
the encouragement of those who are anx-
ious 10 throw off their marital relations,
these legal gentlemen have advertised
extensively in the public prints. The
advertisements usually run, divorce
made easy apply to Doe a Zoe, Chica-
60" naming the street and number. Mr.,
Halpine, a member Of the Illinois Leg
islature, somehow got il into his head
that these advertisements acted as a sort
of temptation to married people seeing
that they could so easily have the Moose
cut, they would not be satisfied until they
should try it. lie, therefore, brought Il
bill before the Legislature not to amend
the law, but to prevent the lawyers from
advertising the facilities which Chicago
affords for obtaining divorces under the
law. lie will probably get his bill
through. but the divorce laws of Illinois
are already so extensively known that a
bar on further advertising may not
amount to much. .-Er.

New York banks, and walking up to the

a word further, he strobe out. The next
day the same customer rcarpeared, ut

NOTHING SO strongly indicates the
man of pure and wholesome thought as
habitual purity of speech. BY his con-
versation among his own kind, you may
always pretty accurately form an opln-
ion as to the moral worth of man. Ii
is there where no restraint is supposed TO
be placed upon his words, that you dis
cover his true nature. Ii TO be given to
looseness Of discourse, or his mind wan
ders to the discussion of subjects pro-
scrlbed in mixed company or respectable
society, you may justly mark him US one
with whom association is undesirable.
