THE MAN o. AIRLIE.

Oh, there abOu' yon heather hill.
Where footfa' comes but rarely,
There is house they point out still,
Where dwelt the man o. Airlie
He wore coat o. holden gray,
His hand was hard WI labor,
But still he had namely way
o. standin' by his neighbor.
His burly laugh made men rejoice,
His words the neighbors guided;
The little bairnies loved his voice.
And in his smile confided.
The words to-day that left his lip
Became a deed tomorrow;
Hout, man, the friendship Of his grip
Would lift the heart o. sorrow.
He was ma loud, he was ma proud,
He lacked in larnin' sairly.
An yet ye'd pick him frae a crowd,
The honest man o. Airlie.
His wealth it was ma in his land,
1t was ma in the city;
A mint o. honor was his hand,
His heart mine o. pity.
He's dead an game this prince o. Fife,
Mute is his burly laughter;
But ah the music of his life,
That bides wi us long after.
His memory lives, the man may die
That fingers bright and lovin',
Just like star lost frae the sky,
Whose ray survives his ruin.

THE oLD-TIME SCHOOLS.

The most curious fallacy of this kind
is that so common by which people are
convinced that the schools were 50 much
better, when they were boys than they
are now for their grandchildren. The
man of sixty-fve or seventy years old
compares his knowledge with that of his
grandchildren and lays their deficiency
in the comparison to the inferiority of
the schools of the present day. He
leaves out of the account the vast amount
Of education he has acquired since he
left school. He forgets that he has
learned hundred times the geography
he acquired in the school room by since
engaging in trade and daily reading the
foreign news and looking up the places
where ships have sailed or wars have
occurred, on the map. The late war
between Russia and Turkey has probably
been greater educator of the geography
of the Turkish empire than all schools
which were ever established. The elder
ly man forgets that his business has
taught him arithmetic, and the keeping
accounts thousand fold what he learned
from the old fogy from whom he received
few weeks schooling and he wonders
that the boy in the lower class in the
grammar school of to-day, cannot make
the calculations on partial payments on
an old note which has been running for
ten years. The very best specimens of
old time penmanship are preserved and
compared with the worst of to-day, and
complaint is made that children are not
taught the elements, reading, writing
and spelling as they were formerly. We
have often published communications
from an old gentleman on this subject.
the spelling of which was corrected by
young women compositors whose whole
schooling was what is given by our
grammar schools. He believes that he
was better taught in the rudiments, but
they know better.
The old-time school master hereabouts,
was generally some broken down ship
master, or some superannuated person
who was given the position that he might
do something in return for his support
and not come wholly upon the town, and
so he was given the school instead of the
poor house. The school dame was even
less qualified than the superanuated ship
master. An old gentleman who was
always of an inquiring mind tells us an
anecdote of the school dame whose school
he attended. He had learned his letters
but the punctuation marks puzzled him.
He went to the mistress and inquired
what the little mark was. She did not
know that it was period, but she told
the boy, .lf you look at all the scratches
and fly marks in the book, you will never
learn to read" The old-time New Eng
land school l-master and school-ma am
were comparatively ignorant. and their
teaching was not SO good in quality mol
so abundant in quantity as that of the
present teachers. The principal thing
in the art, in those days was the maxim
from the old proverb, that sparing the
rod was spelling the child, and so the
rod was vigorously applied. 1t was the
only thing in which the old school was
superior to the modern.-Neaoburypor

sensible compulsory education bill. II COM
r,els all children to attend school at least
twelve weeks during the year. Children 80
attending are given certificate. No child
without this certificate can be employed at

that a provision like this will persuade pa
rents and guardians to see that their children

nut them to work and pocket their pay.
