Sir Charles Reed.

A sketch of the useful life and Ia.
bors of Sir Charles Reed, the chair
man of the London school board, iseiy-
en- in Leisure Hours. His father wasa
non-conformist minister, distinguished
too for active philanthropy. He
founded, in and near London, six diff
ferent ssylums for orphans, idiots and
other helpless ones. Sir Charles

ment dragged schools, SUNDAY schools
teachers training schools, and for
every form of charity that encouraged
the depressed to use efforts of their
own for the improvement of their con.
dition. He was executor of the will OF
Geo. Peabody, and, while a member Of
Parliament, on being elected a mem.
Der of the London School Board. he
voluntarily resigned his seat, in order
TO devote himself to the work of edu.

Act. The Queen knighted him, but
the Office returns DO money salary.
Soon 100000 children, who had hith.
erto received no education, we're re-
celved into thoroughly we'll managed
schools. About four thousand en-
1rely destitute children, abandoned
on the streets, have been found homes
as well as schooling. The conflicts
between this National education and
the claims of denominationalists nave
been turned into wholesome rivalry in
doing good. Sir Charles has visited
this country three times, and has
made himself familiar with the best
methods Of teaching employed in our
SCHOOLS.

work Of crossing il very fatiguine.
Before long, however, a read Will be
constructed from the American to the
Canadian shore, and it will be quite
an easy matter to cross.
The FIRST man who crossed the
bridge was Mr. Tom Conroy, the we'll
known guide who saved I mar from
the rapids a year or two ago. As Mr..
Conroy weighs about 200 pounds, he
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the good folks Of Niagara the entire
safety of the bridge for purposes Of
locomotion. Those who doubt its
safety are at liberty to attempt the
breaking of its sixty feet Of solid Toe.
