Turkish gun was dismountcd. and one Russian

yesterday convicted by a luminous vote of the

be suspension from the ministry but the Rev.
Mr.. MILLER was told that II at any time he re-
cantcd his hercsy he would be allowed to re-
sumo his place in the Church. II snid there
was no likelihood that he would ever change
his opinions and that in his caso suspension

that COP would bring the suspended clergyman

might stay away from the river, and
then resumed his topic. He said

shouted the second son, "he saws the

PUNCH has the following hints for the
guidance of School Boards, which may
be more appropriate to the English eli.
mate than to our own:
To remember that the tongue is Jan
eerous member
Not to set down opponents, and those
who differ from you in opinion, as scep-
tics ard atheists, or narrow-minded and
intolersnt bigots.
To expect opposition, and to meet il
with fairness and good-humOr
Not to ride hobbies too far OF
too fast,
To use the organ Of hearing rather
than the organ of speech.
IT there are any defects in your
own education, to endesver to remedy
them.
To read all the best works on educa
ton, and to master the blue-books and
statistics that have been published on
the same important subject.
Never to speak except in cool, cam
quiet, composed, and unruf1ed frame OF
mind
Always to walk to q place Of meeting
exercise being favorable to deliber-
alton and reflection, and adverse to haste
and impetuoslty.
To dine together occasionally mot, OF
course, ct the expense of the rstepsy.

Before everything and everybody elsa
rates, ratepayers, creeds, churches,
sects, parties, and parents-to think OF
the children.
