weight OF such charge, and know equally
my poverty, not to speak of the utter Moth

up, and pray for me yourself. The conclave
has lasted forty eight hours. 1t the City of
Sinigaglia should likf to 60 TO some expense
in the way of demonstrations, endeavor,
expressly desire it also, that the sum to be
expended be all laid out In things useful for

SCHOOL REGISTERS.

The manner Of keeping School Regis
tiers in the country has been noticed from
time to time through the Educational
yes there is need of more improvement.
District clerks would do we'll to instruct
the teacher as to the manner of keepinp
the register, then the teacher would be
obliged to do as directed; but in the
sbsence of any instruction from the clerk.
the teacher is lefsto do as hepleases, and
often when he clerk takes the register
to make out his report to tie town clerk,
he finds little in the teachers to aid him.
The registers themselves arefsultY because
they do not provide for the recording of
all things which The district clerk must
report to the town clerk but at the same
time these reports might be made more
easily and more nearly correct if teachers
would acquaint themselves with tie
object of the record they keep. In few
registers we have seen appended to the
teachers daily register table something
like the following:
School commenced Closed
Number of sckoolols registered.
Number of days taught in April. .
Number ofdays taught In May.
Number of days taught in June.
Number of days taught in July: -. a4 Af
Total number of days taught during term.
Number of days attendance during April
Number of days attendance during May.
Number of days attendance during June.
Number of days attendance duriug July.
Total lumber of day g attendance during the term
| Teacher.
This table is good as far as it goes, and
it goes great deal farther than registers
WHICH do not show any "totals," Some
teachers use lead pencil in marking The
register, this is an exhibition of poor
taste and weak judgment. Other teach
ers omit their name il the register, Others
the age of some pupils, while others omi
the Christian name of pupils. We know
of no other plan that would produce 81
good results in the keeping of registers a
for the clerk and teacher to consult ii
the matter, at the beginning of the tern
and have an understanding as to wha
was to be done.

TEMPERANCE AT WHITEWATER.

at the municipal election last spring White
water carried the election in favor of temperance
and against granting licences. 1t would seem
from the following from the Whitewater Register
that liquor is sold without license:
'sThe conduct of man who will deliberately
defy the law just because it is disagreeable for
him to obey it, is censnrable in the extreme, and
shows him to be bad citizen. The law against
selling liquor without license is as much law
as the law against horse stealing, and the man
who violates it should be regarded as being just
as much a criminal. man proposes to live in
community let him abide by the laws of the
place !; If he does not like them let him go else
where. The people of Whitewater by an over
/. whelming majority have decided to grant no IL
censes this year. This is accordingly the law of
the place until May /, 1875. The most of those in
terested in the liquor traffic, we are glad to say
have submitted to the will of the majority as all
good citizens should; but few are inclined to
violate 1t and are encouraged to do so by outside
parties. and alse by some within the place whose
shame and disgrace it is that they should be guilty
of such counsel. The village board are doing their
duty manfully and making every effort TO enforce
the law Dub we are SOrrY 10 see LnaL great many
citizens who we're valiant temperance soldiers in
April are powerful weak in the knees in July
1t is painful to cont mplate how little real grit
there is in an ordinary community which is avail
able for good work. The average biped is q lazy
fearful cautious, and wavering creature. He likes
to live we'll If 1T can be done on the sweat of his
hired mans brow, and he just loves to sec the
Lords Kingdom csme on the earth if he can only
! sit in the shade and look on while some one else
| brings it, The cause of reform has ever been hin
dered m ore by the dead weight of good-fornothinf
friends that ride on it's back and clog ts 1eet thar
by the omen enemies that face it, Every harves
field bias ils lahorers that count big at meal time
but go under the bush before 10 o'clock; and in
every battle there are scores Of loud-mouthed sol
diers to be found skulking back among the quarter
master wagons as soon as firing begins. 1t il
this very kind of thing that is killing the temper
ance movement in Whitewater, and the lnsufferabi
disgrace Of having it said That this community hal
/ been cOwed, beaten and overriddin by handful
OF defiant law breakers is seriously threatening
the place. Whether or rot 1t is to fall upon III
depends entirely upon how temperance men NEE
zen ought to take personal interest in seeing tina
the law is enforced, now that it has become law
even if it did not meet his approval before being
enacted. The board are simply trying TO discharge
the duty which the voters OF Whitewater have
placed upon them and they are entitled to ant
should receive the hearty support of tie commu
mty."

| Sudden wealth upsets men as frequently
as it makes them. Very few know how to
use money unless they have earned it by
painful application to business. The man
who drew the big Crosby Opera House in
Chicago, some years ago, died poor man,
for he had not been used to handling such
Sums of money, and lost it. The journey
man carpenter in Peoria, ILL.,, who, three
years age. fell neir to $3.50, 900 by the death OF
an uncle, has his money yet fer he was 60
conscious of his inability to use it as other
men do, and so afraid of losing IT, that he
simply boards It, taking from the principle
enough each week to pay his expenses.
He thinks it will support him as long as he
lives, as it doubtless will but more mlser-
able man never lived. Johnny Steele, the
Petroleum Prince. ran through his millions
in rotons living, inside of three years. The
number who have used suddenly acquired
wealth wisely is very small. L. Il. Keith
of Kingston, Mass, Is an exception. He held
a ticket in the third gift concert of the
hEuGuChy L uVilC anu Guuo UlShCb
drew the capital prize of 100000. Mr.
Keith, a cool, self-possessed man of business.
simply went to Louisville, took his money
at the hands of Governor Brimlet:e, the
manager, and went home with 1t, and, with
out any particular fuss, invested it in his
business, and is rapidly converting that
100000 into 100000. Should he draw the
grand prize OF $s5o,ocO in the fifth (and last)
of these popular concerts. that takes place in
Louis vile July 81, he would be precisely the
man he now Is. Such men arc never duly
elated or nnduly depressed They are self~
poised, and keep always on an even keel.
Every man believes he could use motley
wisely, but few do it. We should like to be
tried with q million or swo. Would that
49, nod .uo tlcket that is to draw that
$25o,OOO. We would try to hold the money.
