Not long ago, u new boy from the country,
was so harrasscd by his town school. mates,
that his parents thought of withdrawing
him from the school. But after thirty or
forty fights and foot races, he finally sue
cccded in giving his most relentless pursucr
good logging, and ever after that there
was scarcely n boy in school who wouldn't
give him "whalin' big bite Of apple, or

The mania to 'go for new scholars is quite
as prevalent among the c9lored children rs
the white; and to talk about rules or dis
ciplinc to prevent it, will amount to moth
ing but talk. Until some process is dscov-

The Temperance Reform movement is
neither dead nor sleeping, in Cairo This
| fact is evident to all who attend the meet
ings of the club. The interest in them is
rcviving, and We have the assurance that it
will soon be at a red heat. Last night
the audience was not as large as il was on
thusiastic, but was Of goodly number. Rev
Mr.. George opened the exercises with
prayer, after song. in which Waits voice
led the singers of the excellent quartettc
President ?. W. Barclay then spoke few
words Of encouragement, and introduced
as the speaker of the evening, Mr.. NJ. III.
Chambcrlin, of Springfield. This gentle
man is public speaker of ability, and
although taken by surprise madca rousing
| speech, in which he startled his auditors by
some original suggestions, rare thing in Il
temperance meeting. He earned applause,
and compelled very earnest cheers. AT the
conclusion OF Mr.. Chamberlins address, a
song or two was sung and several persons
took the pledge During the evening Il
letter was read from Dr. Reynolds in which
that gentleman said he would soon be at
| Cairo, and renew the work so auspiciously
begun by him last year.
