TO THE PUBLIC.

My house is full from bottom to top with new spring goods and additions to the stock are coming in daily. People are surprised and puzzled to see such a large and tasty stock in Russellyille, and many ask: "What will you do with so many goOds?" My an- swer is plain: had foresight to be early in the market and bought in large quantities count ing on the liberal patronage of my customers, and did right.
 Since my purchase goods are rapidly advancing, and l guar tee cheap bargains for cash. For the convenience of ladies I have prepared a stand to exhibit many of my notions, and more especially laces, embroidery, &c' The public is most cordially inyi- ted to call and examine my stock and prices.

have a kowledge of words. Would put chIld to writing compositions just as soon as it learns to read, by giving it words to be incorporated into senten- ces. Then give simple subject, any thing that it has been reading, as the History of Italy. Tell it to write out in it's own language all it has learned of the history of Italy. It thus learns Composition, History, and to think.
 How to teach Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, by Prof. Pinkerton, came next. Did not think a child should begin this study as soon as it entered school, as it would not be able to grasp the subject; would wait until it had learned to read in the sec ond or third reader. He then gave $ very fine illustration of his method of teaching, especially of the manner of borrowing in subtraction.
 Next, Notation and Enumeration, by Dr. Periman. He believed in begin ming to teach Arithmetic as soon as the child can understand that two and two makes four. He then gave concise history of his manner of teaching.
 Tardiness, how prevented, by Prof. Ladd. He first proceeded to answer the question of teacher: "lIow shall we secure the cooperation of parents ?" Ans. 1st, by being one of the people 1; 2nd, by interesting yourself in the,con- cerns and welfare of your patrons, and Sd, by visiting them at their homes and talking oyer school matters with them. Don't go to their places of business, but to their homes. In regard to tardiness l could give no certain rule, would meet each case according to the circum- stances. Would have something pleas ant to open with, music or whatever would most interest the scholars. Would strive to create within them a love for the school, and always send them home at night with pleasant feel ings.
 MUSIC.

MR. EDITOR: Ere this reaches you, the Teachers Institute will have convened in your little city. fshould have been much pleased to have at tended it's sittings, and would have availed myself of that pleasure, had not the urgent duties of the school room prevented that enjoyment. l almost envy your citizens the rare feast they must have enjoyed in the elegant lectures, treatises, and read
 ings given by Prof. Ladd, of Virginia, and the Hon. MT. Denton, of our own State. I am a dear lover of the teachers profession, and watch with a jealous eye the school interests un
 der my care. 1 have become SC accustomed to the daily routine of the teachers life that the predispos- ition to teach has become chronic with me, and 1 am an instructress from habit. There are but few who understand that the teachers task is not merely to ask questions, but these questions and answers must be made so attractive and so simple that the pupil can readily compre- hend the idea taught. Another very important duty of the teacher is to evolve thought fromthe pupils mind. This last requisition educates the pupil to the grade of an independant thinker and reasoner, without which his knowledge is failure. There is an idea prevalent among many in thls State that a complete education is for the wealthy alone, as the poor have neither the time nor the means to use in that direction, this is all a mistaken idea, the poor above all others need every advantage in an educational point of view, and should consider every expenditure made in this way as pecuniary investment of double value to them and their posterity. But for fear l weary you with too tedious detail of self.evi- dent facts, I will desist and turn my thoughts in a different channel.

Miss Ella Sherman.

The engagement of Ella Sherman, the
generals favorite daughter, to Lieuten-
ant A. NJ. Thackara,o of the army, haslate-
become known. It is hardly s'good FORM
to speak of young lady as distinguished
for her smartness, and yet if were to
say that Miss Sherman Is the smartest
young lady in Washington I should con-
vey correct notion about her to the
minds of most of our young readers. She
IS the life of the Sherman household, and
is noted for her vivacity in social circles
Her father withdrew her from the con-
vent to which che was sent for her edu-
cation, and, I believe thinks her quite q
good Catholic, although she is far from
being inclined to be devotee. Miss
Sherman Is rather noted in army circles
for her skill and endurance as horse
woman. There is good story told by
some young officers of an experience
last spring, when party was
made up at the instance of Ella Sherman
to go on horseback to the Great Falls of
the Potomac. The distance is sixteen
miles, making with return trip, thirty
two miles-a rather long ride for those
who are not used 20 the saddle. The young
officers could not refuse her invitation,
but bitterly did they rue it; at least sew
eral of them did, for they were so used
up by the trip that they had to keep
their rooms for three days, and one Of
them had to have a doctor! Their tor
mentor, however, rode back without ex-
haustion, and in the gayest of spirits, and
the sport which was made over the mas
culine weaklings who could not endure
as much was kept up for days. The
young officers did the best they could to
conceal their used-up condition, but it
was of no uee, for their woe-begone
countenances gave the lie to their assur-
ances of having enjoyed the trip, and the
doctors bill was sad addition to the
expense account Of the trip.-Boston

DIPHTkkAEKI
Prevention and Cure.

Minneapolis Tribune
From the authority of the leading Medical
boards, State boards of health, Sanitary in
spectors and others, who have given the sub
iect much attention, we learn that the terrible
disease of dphtheria is beyond all doubt a
blood poisoning disease, caused by a malsrial
spool or sewer-gas poison, which when in
hailed inoculates the blood with its poisonous
virus, and fatal results soon follow in nearly
all cases; especially so when the blood and the
whole system is III an Impoverished, feeble
and debilitated condition when attacked by
the poisonous virus. The remedy to use in all
such cases is one that acts promptly and ef
fectually upon the blood, driving all blood
poison from before it, and building up the
whole system. DR.. E. 3. Halliday's Blood
Purifier has been tried and found to be almost
specific III this terrible disease Not only is
it a cure for diphtheria, but it is also a pre-
veatative, as it is the most valuable blood rem.
edy now in existence 1t strikes at the roots
of diphtheria and of all diseases of the blood,
giving instant relief and permanent benefit.
II you are attacked with the disease take
the remedy in double doses at once,
gargling the tkroat while swallowing
If you live in a, vicinity, or your
business calls you where diphtheria RACES, lose
no time, but get bottle of DR.. Halliday's
Blood Purifier and take it at once, and it will
prevent you from taking the disease. Tell
your friends and neighbors about it too, get
them to use it, and keep the disease away
from your neighborhood. 1t will surely do
you good. 1t is vegetable remedy, ard may
be taken by the smallest child or most delicate
lady. CRosMAN & PLUMMER, Druggists, Min

An Artful DOdger.
lStandard.]

once knew an old fellow, Billy w.,
who confined himself to particular spe-
cies of trickery for many years, until,
indeed, he retired from active life to
take command of clearinghouse of his
own. He was little tight-limbed fell
low, with face perfectly innocent of
whisker. Looking at him in his ordin-
airy attire, when the days work was over.
there was no telling his age, (which might
have been any where between thirty and
sixty, for aught that could be seen.
Billy would go out about ten in the
morning, dressed in a suit of shabby
black, looking the picture of genteel
poverty. Getting into a busy quarter,
he would involve himself in a
large crowd of rushing vehicles,
and tumble under the wheels and the
horses feet as if knocked down. He was
little and 1.-the, and so adroit in this par
ticular performance that he could, and
did thousand times over, 60 within a
hairs breadth OF destruction without sus-
tanning any more damage than he want
ed, as bleeding nose, crushed hat and
few rents In his garments. These last,
it may be remarked, were prepared be-
forehand, so that certain number of
seams were always sure to be open on
very slight proyocation indeed. Billy
would be hauled out of his predicament
quite exhausted and helpless a pitiabfe
looking object, in fact-and be carried
to the nearest tavern. Here he would re-
ceive restorative, and when the
crowd was thickest to tell some
affecting story of family distress

A LINE OF L1HGT.

4 woman croons by her lonely fire,
Watching her babe with it's suffering cry,
And her thoughts are far with its sailor sire,
And the night is wild and the wind is high.
"Oh, who can ever bring back again
The glad, glad days that we had OF old!
Does every pleasure pass into pain?
Oh, frozen hope lies so bitter cold"
But the larks will be stirring by-and-by,
And already there's light in the distant sky.
The ship lies wrecked on the wide west sea,
And the fierce birds quarrel and scream
above,
With their savage laughter that seems to be
A demons scott at the end of love:
"Ha! ha! ha! ha! and it comes to this,
Ye strong, brave men, now your day is done
Your corpses have but the ke1pie's kiss,
And your last hard struggle is known to
none'
But the sun is still shining out of sight,
And has left behind him line Of light.
There is summer once more upon the sea,
And sunshine once morefn the lonely home;
The babe is gone from the woman's knee,
And she knows her husband can never
come;
But as she sits she il singing low:
1.-THE loves have lost does my father keep
And he bids me his happy secret know,
Which is only seen by the eyes that weep"
The sun Is still shining, though out Of sight,
And the darkest day has its line Of light.

Swift Punishment of a Swindler.

Curious stories are told, by hunters, of
the swift judgement inflicted by wolves
on any member OF pack who may de.
celve his companions. They have the
power OF communicating with each other,
and certain sense of justice due to Of
Tenders. One of these stories belongs to
the early history of Biddeford.
The settlers of Name found, besides its
red faced owners, other and abundant
sources OF annoyance and danger. The
majestic forests which then waved where
a thousand villages now stand, were the
homes of innumerable wild and savage
animals. Often at night was the farmer
reused from sleep by noise without,
which told that bruin was storming the
sheep-pen or pigsty, or was laying violent
paws on some unlucky calf; and often on
a cold winter evening did the family roll
large log against the door, and with
beating hearts draw closer around the
fire, as the dismal howl of the wolf
echoed through the woods. The. wolf
was the most ferocious, bloodthirsty but
cowardly of all their enemies, rarely at
lacking man, and seeking his victims
with the utmost pertinacity.
One Of the pioneers On the Saco River
was one autumn engaged In telling trees
at some distance from his house. His
little son, eight years old, was in the hab-
it,while his mother was busy with house
hold cares, of running into the fields and
woods around the house, often going to
where his father was at work.
One day after the frost had robbed the
trees Of their foliage, his father had left
his work sooner than usual, and started
for home. Just on the edge of the forest
ho saw curious pile of leaves. Without
stopping to think what had mace it, he
cautiously removed the leaves, when what
was his establishment to find his own dar-
ling boy there sound asleep. It was but
the work of moment TO take up the lit
tie sleeper, put in his place small log,
replace the leaves, and conceal himself
among the bushes to watch tho result.
After waiting there short time he
heard the VOLTS distant howl quickly fol-
lowed by another, until the woods seemed
alive with fearful sounds. The bowls
came nearer, and in few moments a
gaunt, savage wolf leaped into the
opening, closely followed by the whole
pack. The leader sprang directly upon
the pile of leaves, and in an instant scat
tered them in every direction. When he
saw the cheat, his look Of ferceness and
confidence changed to one Of abject fear.
He shrank back, covered to the ground,
and passively awaited his fate. The rest,
enraged by the supposed cheat, tell to
and tore him to pieces, and devoured him
on the spot. When they had finished
their cemrade, they wheeled around,
plunged into the forest and disappeared,
and within five minutes after their first
appearance not wolf was to be seen.
The excited father pressed his child to
his bosom, and thanked kind Providence
which led him there to save his dear Boy
The boy, after playing till he was weary,
had lain down and fallen asleep, and in
that situation the wolf had found him
and covered him with leaves, until he
could bring his comrades to the feast,
but he himself had furnished the feast.

A Light in the Window.

OF the coast of one Of the Orkney Is
lands, and right opposite the harbor
stood lone rock, against which, in
stormy nights, the boats Of returning
fishermen struck and were lost.
Fifty years ago there lived on this is
land young girl In a cottage with her
father; and they loved each other very
tenderly. One stormy night, the father
was away on the sea in his fsherman's
boat. and though his daughter watched
for him in much fear and trouble he did
not come home. Sad to tell, in the morn
ing his dead body was found washed
upon the beach. His boat. as he sought
the harbor, had struck against the sLone-
ly Rock" and gone down.
In her deep sorrow, this fsherman's
orphan did not think of herself alone.
She was scarcely more than child, hum
BILE, poor, and weak: yet she said in her
heart that while she lived, no more boats
should be lost on the LONELY Rock, if
light shining through the window would
guide them safely into the harbor- And
so, after watching 10y the body of her "a.
Their, according to the custom of her peo-
pie, until 1t was buried, she lay down and
slept during the day; and when night fell
she arose, and lighting candle, placed
it in the window of her cottage, so that it
might be seen by any fisherman coming
in from the sea, and guide HIM safely in
harbor, she sat by the candle all night
and trimmed it and spun; but when the
day dawned she went to bed early and
slept.
AS many hanks as she spun before Tor
her daily bread, she spun still, and one
over, to buy her nightly candle; and from
that time to this, tor fifty years, through
youth, maturity, old age, she has turned
night into day; and in the snow storms
Of Winter, through driving mists, decep-
tive moonlight, and solemn darkness,
that northern harbor has never been with
out the light OF her candle.
How many lives she has saved by the
light of her candle, and how many meals
she won for the starving families of the
boatmen, it is impossible to say. How
many dark nights the fishermen, depend
ed on it, have gone forth, can not be told.
There it stood, regular as lighthouse,
steadily as constant care could make 1t.
Always brighter when daylight waned,
the fisherman had only to keep it con-
stantly in view, and they were safe; there
was one thing to intercept it, and that
was the rock. However far they might
have gone out to sea, they had only to
bear down for that lighted window, and
they were sure of safe entrance to the
harbor Jean Ingezow.

REFLECTED.

Far on the hillside some Respondent blaze
What sudden splendor all the cold air thrills /!
What dazzling flames adorn these lonely hills
Slow sinks the sun; look, and look again;
Twas days last glory lit some easement pane.
A poor reflection, transient, but how bright,
Only broken ray OF heavenly light.
Father Of lights! o let thy radiance be.
So let my spirit with Thy brightness shine,
That wondering man shall know the light di-
vine:
Free me from stains of passion, grief and sin,
To glow without for Thee, and light my home
within.

down and gored. He caught the beast
by the nose and roared for help, but
none came, the COW meantime stamping
upon him and manifesting determine

in the field saw what was going on and
rushed to the spot, when, to the sur
prise of the man, instead of assisting
their companion, they violently assailed
her, knocking her down, and finally
driving her away. The COW died on
