REMARKS

We have established frst-class school of
ten years standing, inferior to none in Ken
lucky for the education of young ladies, on
plain, practical principles, devoid of unnec-
essary expense and superficial display. I am
located in healthy portion of the country, on
a large and fertile farm, and give my who e
attention to the supplying of the house, old
with every provision necessary for heaI'.n and
comfort. / raise large supplies OF corr, wheat,
hogs, cattle, vegetables and fruits; canned
fruits are always prepared for winter use.
Being thus situated. / am abe to give a
better salary to competent teachers, to fur
nish your daughters healthier food. and
charge you more moderate prices than Won
can find in any school of like advantage in
any State in the Union. Every years ex-
perience teaches the importance of having
girls removed from the many disturbing in
aueuces incident to school in town or
city. Many thanks are due the public for
liberal patronage during the past Years, and
by faithful discharge Of our duties through
out the coming ones, we hope to ~ crit and re =
celye renewed proofs OF confdg nee and ap-
probation.

WHAT A NEWSPAPER DOES FOR
A TOWN.

DR.. Holland, in his Topics of
the Time in Scri5aer's for March,
says: A bright, enterprising, in
fluenti2l daily press, in any town,
is centralizing power for all these
interests The press advertises
the locality-is the exponent of its
life and Spirits the centre Of its
moral, political aud social influence
and dues more, perhaps, than any
agency 10 attract the organized in
dustry Of its near and remote
neighhorho0d. the city OF Spring
field, In Massachu sets, is perhaps
an illustration of the power Of a
daily press to centrsliza trade and
manufactures ~ any that the
country offers Ne wonder Wheth-
er the residents Of that city know
how snuclt they owe To their dali
iy press for their constantly i'm
creasiig lnumbers and their con
stantly growing prosperity. Ear
rs years they have had q daily
press whose enterprise, industry,
Intelligence aud Influence aresup-
posed to Ia been without prece-
dent or parallel in the history Of
provincial ne 1spapers throughout
the world. We think, indeed,
that this is but 4 just statement of
the fact and there is nothing in
the location Of the town and its
relations 10 the country to justify
the supposition that it would have
reached its present status through
other causes The town is known
throughout the whole country by
its press, and that press has mag
nified its importance and influence
everywhere. 1t has been a centre
ofintelligeneeand a centre ofattrac
tlon, and has done,, in one sense,
more than anything else 10 make
the town whatit is--one Of the
brightest and most enterprising
towns in New England.

One Idea of Poverty

II was buiavr wfl said that ~ mag

Some men with ton Thousand dolars a

son is, the richer man has artificial wants
His iucome is ten thousand, and he suf-
fers enough from being duuued for un-
paid debts, to kill a sensitive man. 4
man who earns dollar day, and "ho
does pot run IN debt, is the happier of
the two. Very few people who have
never,been rich will believe this, but Il
is true. There are thousands and thous-

know moments peace, because they
live beyond their means. There is real

working people, than among those who
are called rich always providing that

PUT AGREEMENTS IN WRITING

How many MISUNDERSTANDING
arise from the loose way in which
business matters are talked over,
and when each party puts his own
construction on the conversation.
the matter is dismissed by each
with the words: "All right; all
right" Frequently it turns out all
wrong, and becomes a question
for lawyer and courts. More than
three fourths of the litigation of
the country would be saved il the
people would put down theiragree-
ments in writing and sign their
names to it. Each word in our
language has its peculiar meaning
and memory may, by the change
of its position in a sentence, con-
vey all entirely different idea
from that intended. When once
reduced to writing, ideas are fixed
and expensive law suits are
avoided.-Anaerican R,wal Home.
