Charles Y. Poland.

Messrs. Editors Knowing that the relation
which you sustained 10 my friend CHARLES y. Po-
LAND might prevent you from giving utternce In
your paper 10 such notice OF him rs you would
gladly have given 10 any other young man Of sim
liar character In our community, who should have
been taken away from us by the hand Of Divine
Providence, | ask your permission TO give a
friendly tribute in your columns 10 one who was
20 justly dear TO you as a son and brother, and
TO me az an associate and friend.
was his schoolmate, and knew well his dill
gence and interest in his studies lie was equally
dlgcnt and faithful In the duties Of his calling
and office, while he has been connected with the
Insurance company. OF a naturally reserved and
sensitive nature, he formed his friendships slowly;
but once formed, no was always faithful 10 them.
Others might give up and forget old associations,
but they were ever alive In his own heart The
same oarnestness that characterized him In the
performance Of his duties, entered into his pleas
ures, aud his hearty vigor In all athletic sports,
made him second to none Of his associates IN their
friendly contests OF skill and endurance
lie was Of u reveront and earnest spirit, as his
constancy at all the services Of the church and
Sunday school, while his health allowed, most
clearly indicated. His marriage, little more
than year ago, 10 Miss Jennie, daughter Of Den
nison Dewey, Esq, was means Of unailoyed
comfort and happiness TO him during the progress
Of his fatal disease, for never did wife turn all
her youthful love into the channels of patient
ministfation and helpfulness more dcvotedly
than she did lie bore his long Illness, with its
alterations ~ hope and fear, Of suffering and
freedom from pain, with great fortitude and pa
thence, and mingled with his strong struggles and
desires for life, quiet submission 10 the will Of
the Father, to whom, through the Son, he com
mittcd himself and his eternal interests Ills last
days, though days Of great pain and suffering,
were cheercd by the faith Of his heart In Christ,
and almost his last hour was frightened with a
heayen-sent dream Of his future home, 10 which,
more beautiful and blessed far than his own
dream, he has, doubtless, gone.
We shall miss Charlie" for so We loved "a
call him, from the familiar places in which we
were accustomed 10 meet from the pleasant home
which he enjoyed but for 80 brief a time, and
from our daily and delightful associations aud
friendship And a. We, his old friends and school
mates, bore him away TO his last sleep, the bright
ness Of those old memories almost oyercamo the
bitterness Of present grief For myself, | mourn
for him A. my most cherished friend, aud shall
bear him always in my heart as one Of my most
valued and beloved associates. Ny own sorrow
at his death is such that feel poorly qualified u
speak Of him 10 you rs he deserves. The hearty
sympathy Of his many friends Is yours in your
greater sorrow W

Union School.

At the last regular meeting Of the prudential
committee II was voted that catalogue OF teachers
and pupils In this school should be published
during the present term, and copies Of the same
should he distributed among the patrons aud
friends Of the institution both within and without
the district TO the end that their attention may be
directed more especially 10 the interests OF the
school, IL membership, regulations and courses Of
study Another object is 10 call attention to the
fact that there IL an academical department con
nected with the institution, whose aim Il not only
TO fit young men for college but 10 give instruction
and drill in the languages, higher mathematics
and the sciences not inferior 10 that furnished by
any kindred institution in the state. The number
Of scholars in this department for several terms
past has been comparatively small and II is be
lieved that this Is in part due to tho fact that
scholars not in our immediate neighborhood are
unacquainted with the course Of study, and do not
know the opportunities which the school offers.
II would be a source Of much qualification to the
teachers II parents would become more frequent
visitors in the school-room, and thus manifest
their interest In their childrens progress, aud nc
quaint themselves with the real condition Of the
school a. they can do in other way. Earnest
efforts have been made by teachers during tie
past few months 10 secure greater regularity ~ AT
tendance, and not without some success but the
proper standard cannot be reached until parents
appreciate more fully the importance OF this mat
ter and refuse to indulge their children in the
habit Of occasionally absenting Themselves from
school-duties from insufficient reasons. In one
department, few weeks since, six boys were abb
sent upon a certain afternoon and ON the follow
ing morning all came with written requests from
their parents, that the absence might be excused.
On being questioned, each boy admitted that his
detention at home was unnecessary The effect
of such state Of things is TO Taralyze In meas
the teachers efforts, and impair the useful
ness Of the school Systematic effort Is the only
successful effort in the long rum and 10 secure H.
there must be a direct Influence brought IN bear
/ upon the pupil at home In short, the aim OF the
public school can only be reached when there n a
hearty and harmonious cooperation between ~
/ rents aud teachers.
