week, sir days each. The session will
begin June 18th.
The course of instruction will include
Languages, Ancient and Modern, Mathe

exercises and class recitations. Model
classes furnished from our school.
Culleoka is on the n. 4 D. R. r., and

the school. He has had large experience
in such work and presents the most i'm

"SN3THLAND, May 20, 1874
:--. Cincinnati Ohio:
DEAR SIR-As local agent here for
the relief of the suffering people of this
neighborhood, / have taken the liberty OF
addressing you. From my acquaintance
with you | infer that you are kind and
sympathizing in your nature, and
without any prejudice against the poor
people of this afflicted country. There are
about one thousand in my neighborhood.
Of that number fully six hundred are IN
dire need. The means at the command
of the Central Relief Committee is far
short of sufficient to fill the acquisitions
Tor food, and consequently we get only
about one-third enough. We must have
medicine and clothing also, and L make
Il plea to you for my neighbors for those
articles, even in the smallest amount
Anything in the way of clothing will be
acceptable.
We need cotton pants and shirts
stripes or checks, and white cotton; also
hats. Old clothing would be gladly re
| ceived; old calico dresses and undercloth
ing. See if some of the good ladies Of
your city will not help us. They need
not hesitate TO send even pieces of dresses
| as they can be used for naked children
There are some so naked they cannot
leave their houses to draw their rations
Their clothes have rotted off them in the
water and mud.
THE smallest favors thankfully receiv
| ed l cannot describe the distress here
Surely there is a plenty of old clothing
among the citizens, and it would be o
| the greatest use here.
Hoping to hear from you soon, l an
| your friend, ". d. SMITH.

Warm-hearted Colonel w II. Polk, of
Tennessee, brother Of President Polk, a
rare good fellow, as the praise goes, of in
finite wit and good nature, said on one
occasion, when a certain gentleman was
accidenty nominated for the first office
in the nation, Il must take care or the
lightning may strike me; nobody is safe
after that. He was in Congress from
1851 to 1858, and there was not day he
did not brighten with joke. If he were
living now-he died at Nashville, de-
faint enemy of the rebellion, December
10, lS62-he would find a source of great
amusement in the list ofpossible or prob
able candidates for the Presidency in
1876; and without woRnding any sensi-
biIitles he would score each of them and
make every social circle ring with his
happY hits

New York is experimenting in com

into effect requiring the parents and
guardians of children between eight and
fifteen years of age to give them annually
at least fourteen weeks of elementary

FRIGHTENING CHILDREN.-The greatest
difficulty in the way of properly rearing
children Is that their elders forget that thew
were ever children themselves. Parents.
with all their love and tenderness, are
often so unmindful of the extreme sensi-
biiity of their offspring, that they think to
amqse by frightening them. This is like
tickling them with a needle; it is all pain
and no pleasure. Because a fright is in
tended to oe joke, it is no reason that it
ID SO understood, especially by the little
folks, who are altogether literalists. Moth
ing can be worse for a child than to brighten
1t. The effect of the scare it is slow to re-
cover from it remains sometimes until
maturity, as is shown by many instances
OF morbid sensitiveneas and excessive ner-
vousness. Not unfrequently, fear is en-
pioyea as means of discipline. Children
are controlled by being made to believe
that something terrible will happen to
them are punished by being shut up in
dark rooms, or by being put in places they
stand in dread of. No one, without vivid
memory of his own childhood, can com
Prehepd how entirely cruel such things are.
We have often heard grown persons tell of
The sutterings they have endured, as chill
dren, under like circumstances, and re-
count the irreparaole injury which they
are sure they then received. No parent,
no nurse, capable of alarming the Young,
10 fitted for her position. Children, as near
as possible, should be trained not to know
the sense of fear, which, above every thing
else, Is to be feared, in their edaeatioft~
both early and late.
