The HOIIerIng w omen.

There is, says the Burlington HaUkeye,
one Fthollering woman" in every street, a
woman who never goes after anybody, but
always calls across the street. Who never
looks for her children, but rushes to the
front gate, and shreiks for them until, in
the pauses of her shoutings she hears them
answering from the room she has just left.
Every street has one ''hOilering woman.
No street has more, for as soon as two sFhol-
lering women" are thrown by Pitiless fate
upon one street, the neighborS Yacate and
emigrate until rents come down, or, as it
often happens, one of the ''hOllering wo-
men" pulls up stakes and goes elsewhere,
for they cannot brook opposition. The
''hollering woman" generally manages to
keep her streets in lively state Of elOcu-
tionary excitement, and if you happen to
live within understanding distance your di-
urnal serenade is something like the fol-
lowing: ''Tommyi Tom-ineel Tom-myi
Oh, Tom! You Tom! Come right along
here and break up some of this dry wood,
or I'll break your backI Maryl You
Marcel! You git right down of that tree
box this mint, you great tom-boy, or I'll
skin you within an inch Of your life!

From the New York Observer.
The Brattleboro School Case Decided.

The Supreme Court of Vermont has
decided the celebrated Brattleboro school
case in favor of the School Board. The
opinion was delivered by Judge Barrett.
1t will be remembered that a large num-
Der of children of Catholic parentage, in
violation of 4 rule of the school, absented
themselves from the public school on
Corpus Christi day thai on previous
'day of Obligation of the Church. they
had similarly aLsented themselves; that,
on this occasion, they had requested to
be excused from attendance, but were de-
MED; and that, in consequence Of their
attendance, they were expelled from
school. The present action was Il bill in
chancery brought to restrain the School
Board from carrying the order for ex-
pulsion into effect.
The court held that the rule was with
in the legal power of the School Board to
make; that requiring the children to at
tend on that day, and refusing to excuse
them, was not such an interference with
the freedom of conscience as to make the
rule in conflict with the Constitution;
that the holding of a session of the school
that day, was not any more illegal than it
would be to hold town meeting on that
day; that the school laws, as well as this
rule, were made for all persons, and, as 1t
did not conflict with the Constitution,
was legal and Of binding force. The
court, therefore, dismissed the bill.
We presume this decision is good law
But it does not prove that the action Of
the School Board was wise kind, and eX-
pedient. If the Protestant people Of the
town were observing day Of prayer, and
parents desired their children to be cX-
cused from attendance at school, it would
be well to give them the privilege and
thus crafty the parents and prevent i'll
feelings. The slight interference with
the classes and studies would be Of no
account compared with the Injury result
ing from doing violence to the consciences
of such parents as think it improper to
send their children to school on days set
apart for religious services. And more
emphaticaly should this right be accord
ed to Roman Catholic parents. Because
Protestants are in the majority in any
Board or community, they should be the
more careful to extend the largest in
diligence to the wishes of the minority,
consistent with integrity and the laws
If permission to the Roman Catholic
children to be absent Il day works the
dissolution of the classes for that day, it
is an evil less than that which follows the
refusal Of Il privilege claimed on eonsclen-
tious grounds. While, therefore, the
decision Of the court is with the law, it by
no means aflirms the wisdom of the School
Board.

Is Labor Degrading:

In old aristocratic countries, where
the rich rule and the poor serve, they
who from choice or necessity dev ote
their time and energies to labor or
mechanical pursuits are deemel in
ferior to those who own capital and
control labor, and they who live by
speculation and professional pursuits.
This state of affairs makes the posses
IA of wealth and the ability to live
without labor n mark of distinction,
adapted to a monarchy, but wholly
incompatible with domestic inst.tu-
tions. 1t creates II ruling ariStocracy
and degrades the masses, causes dlsre
spect tor those in authority, and Gre
ates the necessity for a large military
and police force to awe the disatfected
masses into submission. Since the
late war, there has been strong feel
ing in this country, on che part Of the
rich, to control the affairs Of the gov
ernment in their own interests, irres.
pective of the rights or wishes ofthey
who labor. Labor does not imply de
gradation in this Land ofLiberIy, 1t
is the life, vitality and strength of the
government, and demands the respect
of every friend of our flee institutions

in copartnership. When killing time
came they wished to divide the meat
The Yankee was very anxious to di
vide so that he could get both hind
quarters, and persuaded the French
man that the proper way to divide was
to cut it across the back.-The
Frenchman agreed to it on condition
that the Yankee would turn his back
and take chance Of the pieces after it
was cut in two. The Yankee turned
his back and the Frenchman asked +.

man had cut off the tail and stuck it

The habit of looking on the bright
