The New Vienna Register says it
does not want a County Superinten-
dent, until balloons are so improved
as to be fit means of Iocomotion.
We would Just remark that the
Register" is behind the times. No
one now expects anything Of the
"balloon," " for the coming machine is
to be an "aero5at But, so far as
we are concerned, we do not care
how long it takes to go from one dis
trict to another, though we think
that could be done at the noon re-
cess, or before school in the morn
ing, and we think that a common
"buck wagon" or in improved bi-
cycle would be better than a balloon.
What troubles us most is, how the
Superintendent can Stay at a school
long enough to do much good that
| is the reason why most of US favored
Township Supervision, but it was
thought that it would be asking too
much at one time to ask for the
whole change at once, SO it was con-
cluded to get County Supervision, if
possible, and let the people see the
benefits of Supervision, and at the
same time, see the need of more than
the County Superintendent can give.
But thank you, Mr.. Register, we
are glad to meet a man who has an
opinion on the subject, for, so far,
we have found but two teachers in
this county who know whether they
want a County Superintendent or
not, and they are on opposite sides.
While on this subject, we will re
mark that we foresee that the move
ment will meet with opposition on
/ account of the cost
Let us look at this matter a little.
+ There are SIX national holidays in
the year, on which we pay teachers
for work not done. Without teach
ing on Christmas, we might have as
much school, close five days sooner,
and thus save every year the full

Worth Diving For.

lam no teller of stories, says Hazlitt
yet there is one belonging to Bur
leigh House of which 1 happened to
know some of the particulars. The late
Earl of Exeter was divorced from his
wife, a woman of fashion and of some
WhatmOre gayety of manners than lords
who love their ladies" like. He determ-
ined to seek a second in an humble
sphere of life, and that it should be one
who, having no knowledge of his rank,
should love him for himself alone. For
this purpose he went and settled incog-
nitO, under the name of Mr.. Jones, at
HOnet, an obscure village in Shropshire.
He made overtures to one or two damsels
in the neighbOrhOOd, but they were too
knowing to be taken in by him. His
manners were not bOOrish; his mode of
life was retired; it was odd how he got
his livelihood; and at last he began to
be thought a highwayman. In this di-
lemma he turned to Miss Higgins, the
eldest daughter of a small farmer at
whose house he lodged. Miss Higgins,
it would seem, had not been used to
romp with the village clowns; there was
something in the manner of their quiet
but eccentric guest which she liked.
Having inspired her with a kind of re-
gard which ne wished for, he made hon
orable proposals to her, and at the end
of some months they were married

HEREAFTER.

In afteryesrs twilight ghost shall fill
With shadowy presence all thy waiting ROOM
From lips of air thou Canst not kiss the bloom,
Yet at old kisses will thy pulses thrill,
And the old longing that thou couldst not kill.
Feeling her presence In the gathering gloom,
VIII moJk thee with the hopelessness oil doom /;
While she stands there and smiles, serene and still
Thou canst not yeX her then with passions pain;
Call and the silence will thy calr repeat,
But she will smile there with cold lips and sweet,
FOrgetful Of old tortures, and the chain
That once she wore,-the tears she wept in vain
At passing from her threshold thy feet.

TEE TELEPHONE


The world stood still for a thousand years.
And crept for a thousand more,
Thiswonderful world with wings for ears.
Like the Messenger god Of yore-
And winged feet and winged wand.
And a wing on its either hand,
And more than Mercury wore.
It brides and rides a furnaces fOal
With iron and hammer for sire,
Great cloud OF white from their nOstrils roll
And It feeds its horses hreI
They are bLOodsd 81 oCz, the engines swim,
Beneath their heels the distance drift
Like SHOWS from the Arctic Polel
They rattle across the meridian lines,
And down the parallels play:
They marry together the palms and pine,
A thousand miles In day.
The world has trained,a wonderful N.---
A nerveOt a route fOr'articulate fire,
And taught the lightning to say:
"Dear Mary, be emine"'-"Car-load Of Swine
'One ION or Cheeser-'AIaria dear
sJOyi it's q boyr--"Tm coming to dine
Send soap -'She's married to Fred"
The humblest OF words like angels fly
A thousand miles in the fash ofan eye,
You hear before they are saidI
What happened at 10 you know ats,
And you away in the west,
They distance along the lightning line
The sun in bis golden rest.
They talk to-day In audible tone,
The telegraph turns the telephone,
And parted lovers are blest!
Think of girl In lonely hour,
No beau in forty miles,
She sits by the tube Of talking power,
She thinks a minute, and smiles,
"I'u call my John, - you fancy her say,
"He lives but a hundred miles away,
And Danish the weary wiles."
Behold them at the ends Of the lines,
This John and his blRck-eyed boon;
His head and hers on the wires incline
And she sings him BOnny Doom.
He sighs for the only thing amiss
He has no voice, but then he can-kiss
Hemight as well be in the moon
For emptier than an east winds laugh

MOTHER WATCH THE LITTLE FEET.

Mother! watch the little feet,
Climbing o'er the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall;
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time 1t cost;
Little feet will go astray
Guide them, mother Will yOu may.
Mother! watch the little hand,
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay
Never dare the ques. ion ask,
why 10 me this weary task %
These same .ttle hands may prove,
Messengers Of light and love,
Mother Watch the little tongue.
Pratllng eloquent and Wild,
What is said and what is sung,
By the happy, Joyous child,
Catch the word while yet unspOken,
Stop the vow before 'tis broken;
The same tongue may yet proclaim
blessings in a SaylOr's name,
Mother! watch the little heart,
Beating sOft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, o keep that young heart true,
Extricating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed
Harvest rich you then may see.
Ripening for eternity.

Sure that he understands arightl-

what does he call now, LOUD and plsir :"
Gold locks-"That is a sign of ram
He calls: More wet more wet:''
Pipes the quail from the fence-tOp,
Perched there in full sight,
Quaint and trim with rick bright eyes,
Almost too round and plump to fly,
Whistling, calling, piping clear,
What do think he says Ny dear,
He says, DO right! do right?

The editor recently called on Mr..

ton Schools. The school seems to
be in good condition. By the way,
we noticed the Surveying class used
the metric system of measurement
in their computations. A good idea.
1t is fooishness, or worse, to under
take to familiarize children with the
metric system, by comparing it with
the common weights and measures,
but it is well to become acquainted

A LONG TRAMP.-SOme time ago, says
the Hamilton Spectator, man and his
wife applied for lodging at the police
station. They gave their names as
Michael and Mary Cahill and they had
with them a tiny little babe, blue-eyed
tOotsey wOOtsey in a mans shirt. Cahill
was a little man, very polite to his wife,
a large red-faced motherly woman. As
they passed through the city on their
way out they put together what little
money they had and bought a little baby
carriage for the child. Last night they
came back again as large as life and the
baby larger. They had tramped to
Barrie, by way of Toronto, and back,
wheeling the baby all the way. Mrs.
Cahill said that the ladies along the line
of march had been very kind to her
baby, and had presented it with many
pretty articles of dress. 1t wore a nice
little cap, and looked rather nice in a
little cloak which some good woman
who pitied the little wanderer had given
to it. The child was born in a cell, and
has seldom passed more than one night
under the same roof since it was born.

The Samantha Teachers AssOcia-
tion will hold its meetings, hereafter,
until further arrangement, at the
school house in Sub district No. 4,
Penn Township. It was not alto
gether a success at Samantha. The
simple fact is, they had too much
company, It's all very well to have
visitors once in a while, but when
company has to be entertained all
the time, there is not, generally,
much hard work done.
