our music loving readers to the advertisement
OF Philip Werlein. VII se mammoth piano es-
tabishment Is situated on the great boulevard
of our city, No 1876 Canal street. Mr.. Werlein's
SUCCESS is not only attributable to his very pop
ular manners and affabe and pleasant DISPOSE
ton, but to the very superior instruments to
be found In his establishment, numbering
among which we find pianos that have won a
great reputation for American manufactures,
and dispelling the false idea that fro N Euro
pean manufacturers must be drawn our supply
Of instruments for family use and concert pur-
poses. America can now boast OF the finest
piano manufactures in the world and we are now
able to record great number OF orders from
appreeiative foreigners In Europe. We advise
parties desiringto purchase pianos to call or
Mr.. Werlein and inspect his instruments.

Marrying for Money which was
"Spent for q Duck of a Bon
net"

An italian gentleman with a nice
little income had a nice little servant
girl, who said to him one morning:
ooh, if you please, won't you give
me three francs to buy a lottery tick
ct with? I dreamed last night that
No. Al, IA YVES going to draw the
capital prize, and L want to buy that
number"
He gave the girl three francs, and
next day, on happening to look on
the report of the drawing, saw that
41,144 had drawn the capital prize OF
SIS 1852, 85 lire or to speak o &C
curately, 100000.
Returning to the house, he con-
cealed his emotion, and said to the
servant-girl:
"Susan, / have long observed with
appreciation your piety, beauty, mod
esty, skill in the art of cookery and
other high qualities calculated TO
adorn the highest station. Be mine.
Let me lead you to the hymeneal
altar. No delay. just as you are"
Honest Injun?" said the blushing
virgin.
"You bet. / swear by yonder sill
yer spoon that tips with beauty al
the fruit-pie To-"
"Then count me in, and regart
me hereafter in the light of your tur
ltle-dove."
"Hasten, then, Susan f.; put on you,
bonnet and shawl and let us take
walk around the block to the onll
%friar's cell, where we shall be mad'
, one."
In a few minutes the bride-elec
returned clad in q red-red shawl
> with a black bonnet trimmed witt
: suniowers and Victoria regia. In
t few minutes more the ceremony hat
i been performed, and the twain wer
i one. They returned 10 the house
where the husband carelessly took u
S the paper and said, with a well-coun
e terfelted start of surprise:
Darling, everything is bright fo
us on our wedding day. You remen
Der the ticket in the lottery that yo
dreamed about and l gave you thre
francs to buy? Where is it, my Owl
It est?"
"Oh, 1 didn't buy it. l spent tt

OUiniOns of Educators.
From the Educational Weekly.

FROM Tue EuucatiOnal weekly.
The intellectual action and exer-
else in which the learners education
consists, are performed by himself
alone. 1t is what he does himself,
and not what is done for him, that
educates him.-Joseph Payne.
When the Colorado Smelling
Works, the largest in the world, wish
for supervisors and administrative
officers, the board cast about among
men skilled in metallurgy for materi-
al. When a people desire a minister
a pastor of a church, they search
among clergymen for the candidate.
When many of our higher (and low
er) educational institutions are look
ing for a head, they rush to other
professions than that of teacher.
Iowa University, a noted example,
has broken from the traces of old To-
gyism, and placed at its head a school
master, a nan whose life has been
spent in school work, and the result
is, thus eally, showing the wisdom of
the appointment. Lawyers for the
bar, clergymen tor the pulpit, and
schoolmasters for the schools! Why
not use the same business sense in
educational as in other appointments
Aaron Cove.
The state has as much right, and
is under as great obligation, to main
tam the public school as the court
house or Jail, and the teacher is as
much an officer Of the state as the
judge or sheriff.. G. Karnes,
President of Board of Education OF
Kansas City.
To compel a child to study a dis
tasteful subject before an interest is
excited, OIL compel hin. to commit
texts of, to him, meaningless words,
ostensibly to train his memory, is an
outrage against child nature.-W. Z.
Parker. a.
The true teacher is known by the
amount of brains that he mixes with
the chalk.-Supt. L. NJ. Greenwood.
Never complain of your birth, your
employment, your hardships; never
fancy that you could be somebody,
if YOU only had a different sphere and
lot assigned you. What you call

agements, are probably Gods oppor-
tunities.-Dr. Bushnell.
Principles have achieved more VIC
tories than horsemen or chariots.-.
Rev. DIR. VIM. NJ. Paxton.
Treat children as children. Dc
not say a thing should be done, as II
the children set to do it were years
older than they are; or having sci
them upon it, demand a great part Of
it from them when little portions are
all they a really give US. We are
apt to think they need more work
than they do; that they had better
pursue this study or that, because we
like it, OF. estimate its advantage very
highly, and yet, though our estimate
may not be exaggerated, or our lik.
ing unreasonable, it may be unwise
to prescribe the study to our chill
dren. The last model to initiate il

which passed the House under a sus-

The people of this county ought
to wake up to the conviction that the
late war was an honest war. 1t was
a war fought on account Of the con-
viction that they were right. This
perpetual talk about rebels and fideli-
ty to the Union did not coms from a
magnanimous spirit. I've war is
over. The Union is restored. and it
was time that we should leave the
passions of the way behind. The
manned Southern soldier would never
ask Congress for pension. His
widow and orphan would never ask

es of the %ar 90, and if the people
desire to avoid such losses in future,
they must avoid war. Mr.. Hill, con-
tinuing, said he was the humbIest
man in the Democratic party. That
party was now about to return full
hedged to power because the people
were satisfied that the Republican
party was no longer competent to re-
main in power. There were four
things which the Democratic party
ought to proclaim to the world and
adhere to them with fidelity. First,
he would not pay any war claims,
whether the parties were loyal or dis
loyal. Second, he would vote nc
more of the public money or lands to
build up railroad corporations. Third,
he would, in good faith, pay every
dollar of the public debt, principal
and interest, in good money ofstand.
ard value. Fourth, he would restore
the Constitution of the country and
honesty in its administrations. Dc
these things, and in his judgment the
child was not born who would wit
