ty; and woe to its agent the government
As is the house so is the government,
Who is not better for parental advice and
government? 1t would not hurt some even
if they gave more heed to the mothers-in-
Jaw. We act upon this principle because
1t RENTS domestic concerns where there is
the most coexistent interest and although
the rules of the family may not always be
applied to city, state and nation, yet the
analogue is applicable.
SCHOOL SYSTEMS.
We act upon the same principle as to
the schools. Is not their government best
when most local? Would you permit a
Massachusetts or Texas board, or even a
Dunkirk or Albany inspector, to tell you
what to do with your local system of
schools? We have in Washington an Ed
ucational Bureau. 1t was seriously pro-
posed that it should take charge of the en-
tire school interests. 1t is likely to.be
abolished next session. 1t was intended as
the entering wedge to a comprehensive
scheme W hich, beginning with agricultural,
freedman's and other unwarranted bureau
cracies, would absorb all state, local and
family Iule 10 one central machine, whose
motive power should of course proceed
from the superior Brahministic refine
ment, and whose little cogs and wheels

Seriously: Is it not strange that the glory
of New England, her system of loca
schools, her town meetings, her free, def
ant, disputatious young democracies of VII
lage and county, with local boards and
home rules, should be regarded by class
as only applicable to herself? Is it moi

An Elephant story.

A letter from Bishop Wilson says:

plant bad q disease 10 bis eyes. For
three DAYS be had been completely
blind. His owner, an engineer Off
Ger, asked my dear DR.. Webb if be
could do anything 10 relieve the poor
animal. The Doctor said he would
try the nitrate of silver, which vas a
remedy for a similar disease in the
human eve. The large animal was
ordered to lay down, and at first, on
the application of the remedy, raised
o most extraordinary a at the
acute pain which it occasioned. The
effect, however, was wonderful. The
eve was in 9 manner restored, and
the animal could partially see. The
next day when be was brought out
and beard the Doctors voice, he Icy
down of hiHself, placed his enor-
nous head on one side, curled up his
trunk, drew in bis breath just like a
man about TO endure sn operation,
gave a sigh of relief when it was
over, and then, by trunk and gesture,
evidently wished to express bis graft

The wonders Of n Flea.

When a flea is made to appear as

derfui parts of its formation, and are
astonisbsd to find that it has a coat
of armor much more complete than
ever warrior wore, and composed of
strong polished plates, fitted over
each other, each plate covered like a
tortoise shell, and where they meet
hundreds of strong quilts project,
like those on the back Of a %nHreppiae

The interest awakened by the sd-

meteorological science in its relation
to commerce and navigation. A ey.

on the other hand mountain ranges
and other typographical inequalities
of the land surface have the effect Of

The Art OF Thinking.

Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the fundamental Importance OF
perfect command over thought.
How many a student finds a lack Of
this power the chief hindrance to pro-
gress! How many a page must be
re-read, how many lessons conned
over and over to compensate Tor laps
es Of thought! In the possession or
absence of this power over mind hes
the chief difference between mental
strength and mental weakness.
Some men think as a child plays with
a hammer, striking little blows here,
there, anywhere, at any object with
in reach. The action Of c strong
mind may be compared to 9 stone
breakers sledge-hammer, dealing
stubborn blows successfully upon
one spot till the hard rock cracks and
yields. The power to classify and
arrange ideas in proper order is one
that comes more or less slowly TO
even the best of minds. In proper

es. When the mind acts, it acts to
some purpose, aud can begin
where it left off without going over
the whole ground again to take up
the threads of its authorizations
Concentration and system are thus
seen to be the chief elements in the
art of thinking. To cultivate the
first, watcbfulness to detect the least
wandering, and the immediate exer.
ton of the will to call back and hold
the mind upon the subject under con
