THREE TIMES ONE.

KEEP your BABY fashions,
Little maid:
0Fcwing-up will spoil you,
Fm afraid;
When the bonny girlies grow,
Half their prettinesses go
People say.
Who can look at such as you
Without Psng or two?
Well-a-aayi
If L could, I'd keep you,
Tiny chit,
As you are this minute,
Every bit.
Not another inch of height;
Aren't we tall enough now, quite
Two-teet-two2
Why, I'd give my Sunday bonnes,
And the purple posiss omit,
To be you!
Gould the budlet only
Hold the flower,
Could you spare your dinples
Half an hour,
might recollect, you see,
How things looked when I WAS three
Very well,
You know what there is to say
You'll be big as 1 some day
Won't you tell?
Ali did l but manage
Matters here,
Pinsfores should fit you
Many year;
For dread lest when you're old
You'll have lost your heart of gold
On the way;
That were sadder don't forget)
Than to live to see my pet
Getting gray.
Goldilocks may some day
Miss their crinkle;
Forehead learn the feeling
Of wrinkle.
Never mind, so naught be stole
From the sunnY-tempered soul
worm Sign.
Thievish fate will have to pay
All he ever took away
By and by.
Stop you, then, I'd dare not,
If l might,
Though the risks stand heavy
Black-or white;
Game of hazard, every whit;
Luck and unluck, toss for it,
Yes or No:
Take your chances with the rest;
Natures methods must be best,
As things go.

AMOS ROW, Co. Supt
for the Centennial.

The Act Of Congress which provid-
ed for celebrating the one hundreth
Anniversary of American ndepend
dence, by holding an International
Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures and
the Products of the Soil AMI Nine >
authorized the creation of the United
States Centennial Commission, and
entrusted to it the management of the
Exhibition. The body is composed
of two Commissioners from each
State and Territory, nominated by
the respective Governors, and COM
missioned by the President of the
United States. The enterprise, there
fore, is distinctly a national one, and
not, as has been sometimes stated,
the work of a private corporation.
The Exhibition will be opened on
May 10th, 1876, and remain open ev-
cry day except Sunday, until Noven-
Der 10th. There will be a fixed price
of so cents for admission to all the
buildings and grounds.
The Centennial grounds are situat-
ed on the western bank of the Schuyl-
kill river, and withiA Fairmount Park,
the largest public park in proximity
to a great city in the world, and one
of the most beautiful in the country.
The Park contains 316O acres, $50 of
which have been enclosed for the
Exhibition. Besides this tract, there
will be large yards near by for the
exhibition of stock, and farm of ~
acres has already been suitably plant
ed for the tests of plows, mowers,
reapers, and other agricultural ma
chinery.
The Exhibition buildings are ap-
preached by eight lines of street cars,
which connect with all the other lines
IN the city, and by the Pennsylvania
and Reading railroads, over the
tracks of which trains will also run
from the North Pennsylvania and
Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Bal
timore railroads. Thus the Exhibi-
ton is in immediate connection with
the entire railroad system of the
country, and any one within 90 miles
of Philadelphia can visit it at no
greater cost than that of carriage
hire at the Paris or Vienna Exhibi-
ton.
The articles to " exhibited have
been classified in seven departments,
which, tor the most part, will be 10
Gated in appropriate buildings, whose
several areas are as follows:

name. Comparing the latter table
with the questions used in examlna-
ton, the standing of each appli-
cant as regards scholarship may be
seen.
Two grades of questions were used;
one for first class certificates, the 9th
cr for second class. Questions for
the first class embraced higher Arith-
metic, advanced Grammar, Physical
Geography, and corresponding
knowledge of the other branches
Second class questions embraced COM
mon school Arithmetic, equal to Rays

ing the application Of the principles
of Syntax and parsing, intermediate
Geography, and equal degree of
knowledge of the other branches.
