Address to Sections.

Bishop Huntington, Of the Protestant
Episcopal church, has a word to say to
sections from which they may profit A
great deal can be done for Quietness in
churches by the sexton. The most per-
feet sexton I ever saw was an apostle Of
silence. His eye and ear and hand were
everywhere, and his genius for forsta'ling
ana suppressing confusion was wonderful.
Before service he always changed his
boots for slippers. He glided about the
aisles as noiselessly as ghost. He made
bookkeeping a fine art. Doors and win
dows were fixed so that they would never
be heard. He took care that No sound
should come from the furnace or gas
fixtures after the service began. The fact
was that this was not a mere instinct of
proprlety or crafty measure of success in
his Office; it was constant answer of his
believing and humble heart to the solemn
sentence. "The Lord is in His holy
temple" What contrast to the clumsy
tussy, heavy -shod brother, in charge Of
the stoves in rural sanctuary remem-
Der, who was sure to start up TWO or three
times in the midst of prayers, sometimes
when the preacher was doing his best to
get Or hold the attention of his hearers,
march around from his seat to the fire,
swing open stlidulous stove door, punch
the sticks with . poker, and toss in an
additional supply of fuel, giving another
shrill screech from the hing es as finale.

have determined to visite the tomb of
Richardson, for whose works she enter

waiter Of her hotel, to whom she applied,
said to himself: "Thc lady surely can not
mean the great tavern keeper in Covent
Garden, for I've never heard of his having
died. Oh, it must be Richardson. Good
luck & Co., of Cornhill. Ha, yea; I've no
doubt she's got some claim on the estate
of the senior partner, who died some time
ago." So the lady was dispatched to the
Office Of the firm in Cornhill. Arrived
there, she passed by the young clerks and
addressing herself to grave looking man
perched at high desk said: II wish to

man opened mis- eyes widely, exclaimed j.:

" hat Voices Indicates.

There are light, quick. surface voices

may assure you OF his strength of purpose

opponent may tremblc and his friends
may trust his strength of purpose and

There is the coars, boisterouse, dictato-

There is the incredulous tone, that is
full of covert sneer, or secret ''you can

Then there is the whining. beseeching

Attorney Genera Wilson Opinion ON
the Text Book LAW.
STATE OF MINNESO
ATTORNEY GENERAL s Office,


ATTORNEY GENERALS Office,
ST. PAUL, JUNE IA, 1873.
Frederick A. Fogg, County Superin-
tendent of Schools, Ramsey County,
Minnesota:
SIR: I am in receipt Of your favor of
the sth inst, submitting the following
questions respecting the act to provide
uniform and cheap text books:
First, with respect to the ordering of
the State books by clerks of common
and independent districts, does the law
leave it to the option OF said clerk, or
does it enjoin it upon them as duty2
Second. If said cleks fail to order
books By March 18th. it is their duty to
order IS soon thereafter as possible?
"Third. Is it the duty of said clerks,
in making requisitiors for books, to order
a quantity sufficient to supply the pupils
Of their districts for the full school vear2'
That portion Of section 4 of the act ap-
proved FEBRUARY 23d, 1877, hereinafter
quoted, it seems to me, contains definite
answer to your first and third questions.
"Section 4. 1t shall be the d,u1 of
the several school districts of the State of
Minnesota to make out an estimate OF the
number OF school books required for one
gears s,tpplv of his district, desi gnating

Danxerous Counterfeits.

Dangerous counterfeits of the denomin-
ition of 800 and $50 have been put in circu
lation. The counterfeit 800 purports to be
the. issue of the Merchants National Bank of
New Bedford, Mass, being of letter A. Feb.
14,1S65. The counterfeit $50 bills are more
dangerous as3their amount is smaller and
consequently win pass the more readily. It
will be well to bear in mind that the surest
test for their detection is found in the fact,
that wherever the name OF L. E. Chittendcn
appears as register OF the treasury, and the
note bears on the upper left-hand corner the
words "Printed at the Bureau of engraving
and Printing, U. s. Treasury Department." !"
such note is counterfeit: The manner of
showing" this "queer" is for parties, dressed
as farmers, to visit small country banks or
stores, and get the bills changed. Beware of
oil such. 1t is not known that these counter.
feits have yet arrived in Minnesota, but thew
have been detected in Illinois and in Chicago.
and the probabilities are they will not be
long In reaching distribution in this region,
Hence arises the necessity for the utmost
caution.

the Loved and Lost.

Because we miss them from our onward

Gods unseen angel DER our pathway crost, -

They are not lost: they are within the door

With angels bright, and loved ones gone before,
In their Redeemer's presence evermore,
And God himself their Lord, and Judge, and

And this we call "loss?' O selfish sorrow,
OF selfish hearts! Owe of little faith!
Let US look round, some argument to borrow
Why we in patience should await the morrow

Ask the poor sailor when the wreck is done,
Who with his treasure stroye the shore to

While with the raging waves he battled on,

A Deliberate Man.

Mr.. Watkins, of Main Street, says the
Cincinnati Breakfast Table, is probably
one OF the most deliberate men that ever
went to sleep in churcn. He has a way
about him Of saying and doing things
that pave the way to a conception Of
eternity, and makes the progress. a fu-
neral procession seem like the flight of a
lightning express. He is always yawn-
ing and rubbing his eyes, as though he
had but just crawlcd out Of bed and
hadn't got fairly awake, and Mrs. Tw1g-
ley, the next door neighbor, has been
frequently heard to remark that if it
wasn't for Mrs. Watkins, who gives his
clothes thorough brushing now, and
then, the moss would have taken root on
him long ago. Even boy on an errand
has been known to overta]1e him. This
can be authenticated
Early last Tuesday morning Mr.. Wat
klns was seen coming down street in his
usual deliberate and ,unprecipitate man:
ner, pausiLg occasionally to rub his eyes,
pick up pin. or hearken to the gay twit,
ter of the birds.
As he came opposite the residence of
DR.. Bleedum, he noticed the doctors wife
sitting at the open window, and steady
ing himself against the fence, he observed
with a yawn that very nearly threw him
over backward, that it was "a nice morn
ing"
1T is, indeed" replied Mrs. Bleodum.
"rhe air is so bracing,"
"Y-(awn) lees, it is so; but don't you
| think it looks little like rain, mum?''
he asked.
20, no; don't think it does The
sky is clear aud the wind is hardly from
the right direction"
Seems as though there might be a
damp mist about, though. 1 was walked
up this morning by my corns, and they're
generally a tolerable safe reliance in
damp weather. A little rain wouldn't
do no harm just now, dye thinkf''
"No, l don't know as it would; but
still we don't really need it, and would
prefer to have it remain dry few days.
Mrs. Watkins is we'll, prcsume2'
Thank ye. mum, she's tolerable like.
Her shoulder bothers her some vet. but
she's so as to be around as usual. l s'pose
your folks is well?'
80, yes, thank you, all quite we'll. A
doctors folks ought to be, you know.
Ha! ha:'
"Yes-yes, tc be sure, so they should, -
re- urned Mr.. Watkins, opening his knife
to whittle Il bit of stick he had picked
up. "spcaking Of the doctor, mum, is he
about this morning!"
He was out with patient till late, and
hasn't yet got up" responded the lady.
"You didn't want to see him profession
ally? None Of your folks sick, hope?"
"Y-e-es with two or three of the most
aggrayating yawns). my little girl has
has GOT a it,"
Some men would have been impatient,
excited and nervous while making known
the nature Of their errand, but Mr.. Wat
kins was no more disturbed in his COM
posure than it he had been asking a
market woman the price of butter.

beside the parish pump, bearing the long
sought name, and kissed it. In the riohf
hands the scene would make good bic
ture. A somewhat similar incident &C.
Cured much more recently at Wakefield
IN Yorkshire. The servant of clergy
man there told him that some highly r.
spectacle looking people desired per-
mission to see the house. "What on
earth 40 they want to zee the house fort
ineres nothing whatever to see; but by
all means, if they wish it," They entered,
bowed, looked around, seemedimmensely
interested. and presently he heard some
thing said as to wondering whether it
was much the same as in Goldsmith,s day.
They were. in fact, travelling Americans,
who had imagined the house was the
scene of; the vicar Of Wakefield. -.....
