Compulsory Education in New York.

The Compulsory Education Act, passed by
the last Legislature of New York, went
into effect January lSt. 1t requires the in
structon at school or at home of all children
between the ages of eight and fourteen, at
least fourteen weeks in every year, eight weeks
of which must be consecutive; fOrbids the
employment in any kind of labor during school
hours of children who have not received such
instruction; provides penalties for parents and
guardians who neglect to obey the first pro
vision, and for employers who violate the
second, and makes it the special duty of school
trustees to visit manufacturing establishments
for the purpose of removing theretrom children
who have not received the instruction required
by this law. The parent or guardian may have
instruction given to the children under his
charge either in the public day or night schools,
at church or private schools or at home
Two sessions of the night school are, for the
purposes of this act, deemed equal to one
session of the day school. The law meets
with opposition from many different quarters,
and the result of its enforcement will be looked
tor with interest. The school teachers say that
there are not school accommodations for all the
children who, under this act, will have to be
sent to the public schools, and that the class of
children who will be compulsorily brought to
school will introduce discord into well-ordered
| schOOl-houses, and that such children should
be sent to separate schools The parents of
school children are also apprehensivs of the
effect upon their children of association with
those who, but for the law, would be running
the streets and growing Up to be criminals or
vagabonds Employers who have intelligen;
| boys under fourteen years of age, who have
already obtained the knowledge of elementary
studies which the law designed to give them,
dc not think that the boys should be obliged
to stop work for fourteen weeks, that they may
comply with the literal terms of the law. The
best arguments of to day, however, will be Of
little value if not sustained by the experience
gained the present year with the law in opera
ton. 1t has a good purpose, and is designed
to effect that purpose with as little incon'
venience to poor parents and to employers oi
children as possible. The practical dificultis.
which it will have to overcome cannot bC
foressen; they must be met Grst, and then, il
possible, removed.

FUNNY PHOToGRAPHS.-Here is something
for the eyes, Take your stereoscope and col
lection of photographs of your friends-the
cabinet size is the best suited. Select two,
with faces turned the same way; arrange them
in the frame until they form one picture. The
result is a most comical combination. You
take for instance, Mr.. II. and Miss w., Mr.. H.
has the comb and braids of Miss W., while her
earrings and Iaces and bows give him fanciiul
appearance. Or Miss w. wears across her
upper lip, the well.waxed moustuche of Mr.. H.,
while his collar and her ruffies form unique
style of neck dress. But the QueSrest effects
are the combinations OF expression. You have
fun.loving eyes over a stiff upper lip, and Miss
A gentle features with the naughty tone of
Miss BIS expression. Move the pictures
slightly, and one looks out from behind the
other like the "ange over the right shoulder.
Try it. We have just discovered it. and our
young friends say it is ''too funny by half!''
Smyrna times., 1875-01-06

grows and the senses deadsn. There S no
need to write a homiIy on temperance, or
preach sermon. The homily writes itself,
and the sermon breaches itself. There s no
such sickening sight in all the world as the
drunken young man or boy; nothing so pain
full to sensibitiss of man or woman; nothing
that seems so harsh, and unnatural, and shock
ing. 1t is such deliberate flying in the face of
Nature and finging away the best gift Of God.
But the procession moves along. Thins out
rapidly to be sure toward the end but the young
men keep stepping in and the ranks are always
full. 1t is the thing that fathers dread for
their sons and mothers pray God their boys
may be delivered from, but it goes right on,
The State cannot stop it, quackery cannot cure
it. Cheerful homes might save many and--in
Washington good examples in high stations
might keep many more from falling How
would it do to try itP
Smyrna times., 1875-01-06

Who WROTE SHAKsPERE?-Hamlst over
heard Julius Caesar tell King Lear, on the
Twelfth Night after the Tempest, that Antony
and Cleopatra had told Coriolanus that Two
Gentlemen of Verona were the authors of
Shakspere's plays Lear said You may take
it As You Like 1t, but don't believe it-for l
heard Romeo and Juliet say Love = Labor was
Lost when Troius and Cressida stole the
Comedy Of Errors and sold it to the Merchant
OF Venice for forty bottles of old Bourbo and
package of poker checks Timon of Athens
and Cymbeline were parties to the theft; and,
after drinking Measure for Measure with the
Merry Wives of Windsor, told King John
all about it. Richard Ill "a competent critic)
said Bacon could not write evea Winters
Tale, and Henry VIII. says that settles it. So,
why make so Much Ado About Nothing?
Othello was busy dealing fve.cent game of
faro to the w, V. and VI. Henrys; and
the only remark made by them was an coca
sional ''Prinde, don't turn hold on - and
few other forcible remarks of a curSory nature !;
and, as Richard ii. was absent, Tanning the
Shrew, | could get no further evidence as to
who wrote Shaksperc But Ais Well that
Ends Well. Don't it?

TALE BEARERs.-ln every society we find
one of those good natured fools" who keep
whole community in hot water, and ALLEVIATE
friends by small tittle-tatte and idle tale bear
ing. The most minute incident in families,
repeated from ignorant servant-maids and
small serving-men, forms the stock in trade of
these weak gossips. OF course, facts are en-
bellished and enlarged upon, and what in itself
was very simple and innocent grows in their
hands to something enormous in iniquity, in
it's silly and malicious repetition. No general
correctness of life is safe from their vile tongues
Some little incident ia magni6ed into a great
wrong or great sin, and men find cold looks
and shrugged shoulders without being conscious
of ever having committed or given offence
Alienation occurs generally where misre presen-
tation takes place aud people find themselves
at daggers point without having anything
based upon truth to warrant or justify it.
1t is all very well to say that character
should be able to stand these small assaults
that it should, like the rocks in the ocean, beat
back the waves of calumny, and send it explod
ing in froth aud bubbles at our feet. But the
continued dropping of vile stories into the ear
like falling water upon marble-wears its
way into our consciousness and memory, and
insensibly affects US. We are so constituted
that we cannot, at WILL disburden the mind of
foul words in regard to others, told repeatedly.
We are impressed by them and, while we
may say we do not believe them, the impres
sion remains, and we unconsciously allow them
to impress our action. There is no remedy but
utter scorn and contempt, and firm resolve
to hear no more from any man who goes about
retailing SANDERS in regard to neighbors and
friends, rolling them as sweet morsels under
the tongue. Every sense of honor, all decent
pride and loving friendship, forbids US to
know such people.

TIE STATISTICS OF CRIME AND EDUCATION.

THE STATISTICS OF CRIME AND EDUCATION
The current number of the London Quarterly
ReUie,c contains some interesting information
touching the criminal statistics of England from
1855 to 1873. AS tho influence of education
upon crime is an interesting question in Amercs,
these figue es will doubtless command attention.
This exhibits shows that the percentage of the
whole number Of criminals who were able to
read and write imperfectly, was in 1886, 50, 33 !;
1871, 62.3; 1S73 631. The per cent. able to
read and write ,oeH was in 1886, 10. Sc per
cent 1871, 80; 1873, fraction of one per
cent The number who had received instruc-
ton superior to reading and writing was in
every 900 in 1886, and 2 in every 900 in 1878.

SENATOR BAYARD ON SUFFRAGE The New
ork Tunes or recent date, remarking on the
desire of Senator Bayard not to have the
District of Columbia governed by popular votr,
but by bureau appointed by the President.
and confirmed by the Senate. says:
I'm this connection, Mr. Bayard avowe1 the
mysterious doctrine that the question, of SUI
trage should be left where the trainers of the
Constitution intended it to be, in the hands Of
those to be affected by the right" The trainers
OF the Constitution have from time to time
been made responsible by Democratic oracIes
for some very curious and absurd propositions
but this, we think, is worse nonsense than
anything we have yet seen. We doubt if Mr..
Bayard himself could tell, in cool blood, exactly
what he meant by it. What he was un-
dOuotedly trying to do was to reconcile the
notion of the suffrage as something which
should be equally enjoyed by all, with the
exclusion of the blacks from voting. But it
would be hard to show that the negroes in the
District Of Columbia are not affected by the
results of the suffrage. 1t determines for them,
as much as for the whites, the administration
OF the schools, the burden of rents as affected
by taxation, the administration Of justice, and
hundred otherinterests. They may not have
the same, or even as much interest as the
whites; but Mr.. Bayard's idea seems to be
that they have none; that they are not, in
short, any part of the people This is the
latest development of Democratic principles,
and 1t Is OF piece in its illogical, inconsistent
patching together Of incongruous ideas with
what has gone before it in the same line"

As his sweet eyes searched my face
Hair OF gold and eyes of azure,
Form ofchildish, witching grace.
But the eager face was eoudsd,
AS slowly shock my head,
Till said, Ill make letter
0tyOu, darling boy, instead.
So parted back the tresses
From his forehead high and white,
And a stamp In sport pasted
Mid its waves of golden light.
Then said, NEW, little letter,
Goaway and bear good news"
And smiled as down the staircase
Clattered loud the little shsss.
L. .aving me, the darling hurried
Down to Bridget In his glee,
"Msmma's witing lots OF letters;
Use letter, Bridget-ses!'
No one heard the little prattlOr,
As. once more. he climbed the stair,
Reached his little cap and tippet.
Standing on the entry chair.
No one heard the front door open,
No one saw the golden hair,
sit foated Ger his shoulders
On the crisp October air.
Down the street the baby hastsned
Till he reached the office door.

But the clerk in wonder answered,

"Dess I'll find anozzer Office.

FAin the clerk would have detained him,
But the pleading face was gone,
And the little feet we're hastsning
By the busy crowd swept on.
Suddenly tha crowd was parted.
Peopls fed to left and right
AaR pair OF maddened horses
At the moment dashed in sight.
No one saw the baby figure
No one saw the golden hair,
Till voice OF frightened sweetness
Rang out on the autum air.
Twas two iate--a moment only
stood the beauteOus vision there,
Then the little face lay hielsss,
Covered DER with gOlded hair.
Revsrent they raised my darling.
Brushed away the eurlS of gold,
Saw the stamp upon the forehead.
Growing nov so icy cold.
Not a mark the face disfigursd,
Showing where hoOi had trod,
But the little life was ended
"Papa's letter" was with God.

SCHOOL STUDIEs.-A proposition is being
agitated in HlObOken, N. J., hereafter to teach
branches Of spelling, reading, writing, gram
mar, history, and geography, and to form
special classes for the higher branches. 1t is
claimed that by the present system the chill
dren destined to become tradesmsn, clerks or
laborers are compelled, at grevious disad-
vantage, to study drawing, German, physical
geography, and other subjects which will never
be of the slightest use to them. 1t is alleged
that BY virtue of the same system a large sup.
ply of unnecessary books is introduced for the
benefit of book agents and interested parties,
and the taxes are largely increased There is
something in this latter statement, perhaps,
worthy of consideration elsewhere.
