The little paper pellets which have been
fred at the School Board for week or 80
have never reached the members. They
have been intercepted by the co9gtitution
and laws and fallen harmless to the ground.
Certainly no member of the School Board
will feel it his duty to resign at the behest
of mass meeting unless it can be shown
that he has disregarded his duty, forgotten
his oath of Office or violated the law. When
case of the kind can be successfully
pointed out, we have no doubt there will
be little difficulty in the matter. In the
meantime, no good can be accomplished
by vague general charges against the men,
bers of the board that they are endeavor-
ing to mix the schools For they only
administer the law as they find it.

Kindness,

II there Is one person upon earth VINO more
nearly than any other approximate to moral
excellence. II is he who, in his heart leaves
most room tor the occupancy OF this heaven
gift. The kind-hearted persons seem to be

how thick the gloom by which they are sur-
rounded. The little child smiles, and hasten,

There IL nothing easier than to speak kind
word. and yet how often we begrudge 1t; and
how often we refuse 1t. Many a heart would
be eascd of the load OF sadness under which
ii Is bowed down. The pulse beats faster, the
heart throbs wilder and the blood bounds
more vigorously through the veins, when our
worthy actions are met with and rewarded by
the kindly looks and smiles of our friends. A
kind word often paves the thorny thorough
fare of life with roses, and makes of that a
pleasant journey which must otherwise be
only wearisome and monotonous. A kind
look, or word, or smile, in the correction OF
the erring child. does far more to prevent a
similar transgression, by him, in the future,
than can all the withcring scowls and dia-
tribes of abuse that may be lavishly be-
slowed upon him. Kindness Is the great lev

of human nature. Kindness begets mercy; /;
mercy is the father of charity; charity is the
