my previous letter, and now we wish to

During a campaign in Mississippi, q

tence without finding use for the rules OF
Grammar, (Which are nothing else than
common sense methodically applied in
the use Of language) this is the most inn
portant branch Of study We were dis
appointed to find little attention paid to
spelling, and when we inquired in each
room il the spelling book was used, we
were informed that it was not used in
that room but il was used in some Of the
rooms. Il was like the milk sickness in
IndiaEa-il was not in that rcighbor-
hood, tut it was very prevalent over on
the other creek.
We found the School House in good
condition, the rooms papcred, and all
neat and comfortable. The lower step OF
the stairs leading from the street to the
! house, had part of board gone, making
la hole which is exceedingly dangerous
Children running in are in great danger
of stepping into this hole, and getting
/ their legs broken. The fence on the east
side Of the lot is nearly down, and hogs
get into the lot The priyies are horri
ble, and unless the Board attend to the
matter at once, they should be indicted
for permitting a nuisance. No farmer
would permit his hogs to remain twelve
hours in such a place. 1t is enough to
give not only the school children, but all
persons in that neigh borhood, the typhoid
fever How the teachers can permit
children to set their feet in such place
and then come into the school room, is
something we cannot understand II
they were men, and accustomed to the
stink Of tobacco, the stink from this filth
might indeed be a sweet smelling flavor
by way of variety.
We call upon the Board as a body, and
as individuals, to hire man to wash out
these rooms, if necessary, three times q
day 1t is a burning scandal and dis
grace to somebody We think the Board
Of Education is the proper place to strike
Now word to mothers and we are
done
We were at the school during recess
There were perhaps two hundred little
girls in front Of the school house. Every
one Of them had on dress which only
came down to, or very little below the
knees and the only protection their legs
had from the knee down, was stockings
True, they all appeared to have wooden
stockings but dress the stoutest man in
Jackson in that manner, and how Ions
could he stand IL? Why not put fianne
coverings over the stockings Neyei
mind how it would look Start fashion
for the little girls based upon comfort ant
common sense. Give the girls q chanc
for their lives and health and comfort
We are not in the habit Of meddling will
, such matters, and making remarks abou
the folly Of fashion. Many editors rid
I cule the habit Of trailing yards of silk an
, other fine goods upon the filth Of th
pavements, or twisting around and holc
! ing up the trail with one hand. 1t doe
indeed, look awkward and foolish; bJ
if it makes the women happy, we hay
no objection. Give the little girls

Perhaps it has done the Republican
Senators, who look upon themselves as
selected for the purpose of instructing
the President in the distribution of the
offices, power of good to find out that
when they are through with their noise,
the President will politely tell them that
he has made up his mind, and that they
should be happy in the performance of
their duties in the Senate Chamber and
Committee-rooms 1t demoralizes the
average great Senator to find that the
President does not get mad or surrender
his judgment.-[Cincinnati Commercial.
We would like to ask, with much mod
esty, Of course, if the able editor of the
Commercial ever read, any where, that
the appointments made by the President
shall be made with the adUice and consent
of the Senate.

The Power Of Habit.

Habit is the result of repeated action.
Il the action is good the habit Is good
If the action is bad the habit is bad.
The aggregation Of a mans habits form
his character. Some one has defined
character to be a bundle of habits. -
The character is the man. 1t follows
therefore that a mans habits, physical,
mental and moral, determine what he IS
In view of this fact we cannot over
estimate the vast importance OF forming
good habits early in life. Much is said
of the force OF habit" habit becoming z
second nature" &c. ! know ! am on a
trite subject but too much can scarcely
be said or written about.
Ii cannot be said that mans habits
ever become absolutely unchangeble IN
this life. Yet we know, as n matter OF
fact. that after a certain period in life,
men do,not as n rule radically change
their habits, their modes Of thinking and
living.
While we do not claim that they cannot,
we do claim that they 10 not The iamil-
lar saying Of Pope is exemplitied IN thou
sands of Instances "As the twig is bent
the tree inclines" Human character IS
constantly tending to state hxedness.-
How many helpless, hopeless victims OF
vicious habits we see all round US. Let
every young man who reads these lines
firmly and solemnly resolve by the help
of God, to form habits of sobriety, hon.
esty and industry. Better a thousand
times to start in life on this basis, than
