THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

THE HOARD OF EDUCATION,
Mr.. RODNEY WELou, ,nomber Of tho
Board Of Education, has committed tho un-
pardonablo ain. Ho has mado an effort to
bring before tho public tho extravaganza Of
tho school management In this city with q
view to reduction in tho expenditures IIo
has opposed tho tax-eatera In thoir own dom.
icila This unhoarsl-of tomority has brought
down upon Mr.. WEIGH tho united condomnn-
tion and eternal enmity Of both tho Board Of
Education and the Common Council. A man
in favor Of reducing expenses md cutting of
useless Items and Offices is sort of person
not to be tolerated in official Doanls. It WIS
not surprising, therefore, TINT ut tho very
first meeting Of tho Board Of Education attcr
Mr.. WEIGH Ind made public protcatagainst
tho extravaganza Of tho Board, ho was ar-
rafgned by Unanimous voto, and bullied
and brow-beated by almost ovory individual
momber for having dared to deaort tho noblo
army OF tax-oaters, md for having
Indicated where dollar might bo
saved to the Taxpayers. l1r. WE1on's dis
cipliniag did not stop horo. Having beon
nrraignod to make his dofense in the open
Board, ho simply declined to rotract thing
ho had said but, on tho contrary, proceeded
to cite instances in support Of tho atatemont
ho had previously mado. Thoroupon tho
Board Of Education exceeded itsolf in impor-
tinence. Quietly ignoring Mr. WEIGH and
his protest, all tho other momborB voted that
WEIGH had mado retraction, when lo hadn't
oono anything OF tho Kind, and sent this
fcso'o'lon inso Inc common COUNCIL TOR tho

by the present system Of conducting
funerals the poor are serious sufferers.
The head Of family dies, whose life

custom OF demanding mourning for the

cripple the family for years. To them,
therefore, death comes armed with q
double terror as the old Scotch proverb
we'll indicates-"a full sorrow is better
than q fasting one !" and the question
arises, could not the greater part OF this
expenditure at funerals be done away

funerals and extravagant mourning
dresses does not rest upon argument.
but springs out Of sentiment, and the
only way to overcome sentiment is by
example. Let our more intelligent and
wealthy classes eschew ostentation in re.
gard to such matters, and the lower
classes will soon follow suit. Honor
may be done the dead in other ways
than by purchasing expensive mourning
which the survivors can i'll afford. Grief
can be as well exhibited by hat-band
as by whole suit-by black veil as by
the most expensive Grape dress-if soci-
ETY. wills it.

A Serious Reality.

Way down in Maine, not long ago, a
young girl entered into correspondence
with man whom she had never seen.
In due time they exchanged photo
graphs, the male correspondent, who
was an old man, sending picture of a
young and handsome face, instead of the
shadow Of his own scanned and knotty
countenance; finally, he wrote to her to
come to him and he would marry her.
Of course, the girl went, and then her
eyes were opened. The enticing face
she had dreamed of was fraud, the
wealth he had offered her was not to be
found, the beautiful mansion in which
she was to be mistress was only rude
little wooden dwelling whose floors were
urcarpeted, and whose ceiling she
could reach with her hand. In the
nightmare of her disappointment, she
fled from the place, alone and penniless,
and walked to a neighboring town,
thirty miles distant, where she arrived
almost crazed with fatigue and hunger,
and where she died few days later in
a raving delirium. The doctor called it
typhoid fever, but murder would have

felt any remorse when he heard Of the
poor girls death, there is nothing in the
story to show it. He coolly picked up
the wedding clothes she had brought
with her, and gave them to the kind lady
who had cared for her in her sickness;
and then he went back to his ordinary
pursuits. His neighbors thought it a
joke that his. device should come to
naught, and laughed at him because the
girl, when she saw his face, left the town
in disgust. Foolish thing she was to
be pitied, of course; but what could she
expect? This and a score of similar
remarks were made, and then the victim
of romantic folly was forgotten. All,
girls, this matter of matrimony is not
romance, but serious reality. The
woman who waits to be wooed like the
heroine of dime novel will find, as did
the poor deluded girl of our story, that
her hero is but thing of shreds and
patches. Better to never marry at all
than seek to marry at venture like this.
