Catholics and Public Schools.

1t is not likely that the policy outlined by
the Archbishop of Boston will be departed
from in any essential particular by other
prelates. The public schools will be patron.
lied only when it is not practicable for
the priest to raise money to support the pa
rochial schools. The Roman Catholic chill
dren will be Withdrawn from the public
schools as rapidly as possible. A strong ef.
fort will be made either to obtain portion
of the public funds for the maintenance OF
these schools, or else to secure exemption
from the school tax of those Catholics who
prefer to educate their children in the church
schools. Any corporation may have pri
vate watchman, but the fact that the com
pany chooses to further protect its own prop
erty in this way is no sufficient reason why
it should not be taxed for the support Of q
general police. Any citizen may lay out 9
road on his private farm for his own pecu
liar use, but the community will not there
fore release him from bearing his portion ol
the expense of keeping the public roads il
order. Any religious denomination may es
tablish system of sectarian schools, but
there will still be ample reason why the pub
lie schools should be maintained and why
all citizens should be taxed for their main
tenance.

How the room would ring with JOY
And II kept me young and happy,
Playing with my little boy.
Then when we were TRAD Of romping,

In nv arms I'd fold him closely
Til the weary little head
Dropped down softly on my bosom.

And pray, o heavenly Father,
From all harm my darling keep"
But tonight. no laughing baby
Drives away my thoughts Of care
And my tired heart IA longing
For the child who nestled there.
DO not think he's dead-my baby

He is all that could wish for,
He's my earthly pride and Joy.
But to. might my arms are aching
For my little baby boyi

PRoBABLY no invention of modern times
has proved so useful in proportion to its
cost as the postal card; yet it has been
known to this country hardly half dozen
years, and like the majority of really good
things, is so simple in itself that its produc-
ton, while second to no similar industry in
Importance, has hardly awakened curious
interest BY the terms of the present con-
tract between the government and the
American Prototype Company, the cards
must weigh six aud one-fourth pounds per
thousand, for which number the company
receives s69.5d. Postmasters desiring cards
send their orders to Washington, and large
sheet full Of their orders is forwarded every
morning to Holyoke, Massachusetts,, where
they are at once filed. A recent sheet Of
orders may be taken as specimen. II was
for 100000, 500, and they were to be sent to
four hundred and ninety-tbree different Of
fees The New York office uses about half
million week or nearly one-tenth of all
the cards issued.

interest Of his excellent University, aud
~ lc informed ny, desires to secure the
attendance Of the Young men in this
State, whose parents think best to send
children away from homo to REEVE
their education. This institution Of
learning, though comparatively young,
il, ON account of it's superior manasc-
mont, growing rapidly into public favor.
At the last session there was u first rate
attendance, and hc expects u much

that is exercised in regard to their NOR
ais Then again tho mind Of tho stu
dent is regarded as IN "activc agent
which is to ho irdincd, not "crammcd'
by tho instructors. Facts aud principles
arc clucidntcd by the student ON the
rostrun and the black board. Tho IN
structor takes tho place Of u party re-
ccivin. information, asks questions no.
cessary to draw ont principles not clenr-
~ explained by the student. Thus tho
faculty of demonstration in daily prac-
ticcd, and, Of course, the logic Of tho
subject we'll incuicatcd. In addition to
this, practical examples from toxts ifrc
required. The student is encouraged by
special rewards to bring to tho class
room original problems. A system Of
sclf-cNaminntion is thus impaired, 40
that tho student may not only learn
how to study but 10 test his knowledge
before coming into tho classroom.
