the news with fairness and honesty, SO
as to enable Its readers to form correct
Judgment on whatever is passing; and
it discusses questions without prejudice,
but always in the interest Of the pro-
ducing classes. 1t is in no sense Sec

real pleasure and interest from Texas

late, comprehensive and correct; its
Market Reports reliable; and all its de-

OF omen mouths two or three times
daily, ard give out long columns OF
words, short or long, according TO the
capacity or age Of the mouths, but is
the pupil any wisel? This is q ,rdi.
GUS process, and it seems lis age en-
titles i, to use, but we are no little
disgusttd with it ourself. Our idea
10 that a child should be Lndc to
spell what 1t reads. Besides t.lc
words usually found at the close of
every reading exercise, let tho schol-
ar spell every unusual word in the
lesson, Don't let Spelling be consid-
e5ed separate study. Spell words
In your geography, grammar, history
philosophy, or whatever it my be.
Must Of our little fellows can rattle
Off otf'tp-u-b-l-i-c-a-t-i-on," "con-cat e.

set OF huge words the lad will ever

that the pupils vocabulary should be
enlarged gradually by dealing with
those wor,ls which arise in his daily
studies. Again, another excellent
plan is to put them 10 writing words
as SION as their advancement war
rants it. Use the Safe freely and
frequently. Make them write out
words in their lessons. How llicu-
lous does the spelling even Of some
good takers appear when .hcir
thoughts arc put on paper! There
fore. let the boy or girl use his Slate
as often as lie plcases. They not on
ly learn spelling, this way, but gram
,rar, punctuation, Tic use OF capitals
and o,her good things. Bacon never
uttered trucr thought than when he
said: "Conversaliun makes q ready
man reading, Il full man but sr'Itiny,
all exec: mali." Train the pupil to
look closely, and our word for it, the
lumber Of good spoilers will be con-
slider ably increased. Nothing SO mars
the composition of a lady or gentleman
as bad spelling. Then, We urge upon
our teachers he EcrcSsily of slrinscn,
eNertions towards uaking good spell
crs out OF their pupils.

THE great drawback to the success

put to studying some branch by one

him uiiit for it and he docs not take

SNAKE BITEs.-The fangs-there are two
in number-of poisonous serpent are hol.
low. Through these fangs the poison is in
jected into the wounds made by them.
The bite of poisonous snake always makes
two deep punctures; that Of a non-poisonous
snake is irregular in shape.
When the poison is injected into large
vein, death may be almost instantaneous.
Death from rattlesnake bite generally oc-
ours in five or six hours. The pain, which
is severer than that of a bee sting at the start,
becomes more and more excruciating to the
last. The limbs, and especially the head, are
greatly swelled. If the victim is strong, he
may live few hours longer, and then die of
general modification.
The rattlesnake can neither spring upon a
man, nor can it pursue rapidly. Ordinarily,
snakes bite only when they are provoked.
Where vipers and the smaller snakes are
found, woodmen and others should wear
thick boots, as they seldom attempt to bite
above the ankle, and their fangs cannot pen
citrate leather.
A person bitten should drink freely, every
fifteen or twenty minutes, gill or more at a
time of whisky, brandy, rum, or gin, diluted
with hot water, stopping just short of intoxi'
cation. This will generally effect cure in
few hours, in the case of bites from our Amer.
icap snakes.
As serpent poisons are not injurious when
taken into the stomach, it is always safe to
let person suck the wound with his mouth,
provided there is no abrasion of the lips

THE WORLD FROM THE SIDEWALK.

THE WORLD FROM THE SIDEWALK.
Did you ever stand in the crowded street,
In the glare of the city lamp,
And list to the tread of the million feet
In their quantity musical tramp?
AS the surging crowd go to and fro
IT'S pleasant sight, ween,
To mark the figures that come and 60
In the eyer-changing scene.
Here the publican walks with the sinner proud,
And the priest in his gloomy cowl,
And Dives walks in the motley crowd
With Lazarus, cheek by jowl,
And the daughter of toll with fresh young heart,
AS pure as the spotless frame,
Keeps step with the woman who makes her mart
In the hauntS of sin and shame.
How lightly trips the country lass
In the midst of the city's ills
AS fresh and pure as the daisied grass
That grows on her native hills.
And the beggar, too, with his hungry eye,
And his lean, wan face and crutch,
Gives blessing the same to the passer-by,
AS he gives him little or much.
When time has beaten the worlds tattoo,
And in dusky armor night
Is treading with echoless footsteps through
The gloom of the silent night,
How many Of these shall be dsintily fed
And shall sink to slumbers sweet,
While many will goto sleepless bed
And never a crumb to eat
All! me, when the hours 60 joyfully by,
How little we stop 10 neeQ
Our brothers and sisters despairing cry
In their woe and their bitter need
Yet such world as the angels sought
This world of ours we'd call,
If the brotherly love that the Father taught
Was felt by each for all.
Yet few short years and this motley throng
Will all have passed away,
And the rich and the poor, the old and the young
Will be undistinguished clay,
And lips that laugh and lips that moan
Shall in silence alike be sealed,
And some will lie under stately stone
And some in the Potter's Field!
But the sun will be shining just as bright,
And so will the silver moon,
And Just such crowd will be here at night,
And just such a crowd at noon.
And men will be wicked and women will sin,
As ever since Adams fall,
With the same old world to labor in,
And the same God over all.

COULDN'T HELP HER.-The gates at the
passenger depot which shut out all people not
having tickets for the trains, were yesterday
closed at the Union depot against an elderly
woman wearing spectaces and using an um-
brella for cane.
Cant pass without ticket" said the man
at the gate as she came up.
II want to see if there is anybody on that
train going to Port Huron" she answered.
"Can't pass without ticket, madam"
."I've got darter in Port Huron, have"
"Can't help it, please. My orders are very

II tell you want to send word to my
darterw she exclaimed, adjusting her spects-
cles for better view of the official.
Eyes, but we can't help that" you see.
"Please show your ticket"
II want this ERE railroad to understand
that I've got darter in Port Huron, and
she's got a baby four weeks old, and I'm going
to send her word in spite of all the gates in
this depotP
"Please show your ticket, madam"
She gave the old umbrella whirl and
brought it down on his head with all the vim
of an old.fashioned log raising, and as he
staggered aside she passed him and said:
"There's my ticket, sir, and I've got more
behind it Mebbe one man and gate can
stop me from sending word to my darter to
grease the baby's nose with mutton taller if
the weather changes cold, but don't believe

And she walked down to the train, found
some one going to Port Huron, and came
back humming the melody of "The Three
