SILK FROM THE SEA.

The sea yields many precious things
coral, amber, and pearIs-but it is not gen.
orally known that in certain parts OF the
Mediterranean n species Of mussal is found
the shells of which contain Que of the most
beautiful textile materials koown. These
shells are about Z in. long and 2 in, broad,
and each of them contains a hank oil byssuS,
the fibre weighing half a drachn, aud at first
presents nothing particular to the eye, beng
soiled with mud and the remains OF marine
plants. But when washed aud c0mbed the
fbres are seen to be extremely l~ustrous, Slis-
tening 10 the sunshine in shades varying
from a golden yellow TO olive brown.
Spun aud woven in the ordinary manner,
stockings, gloves, neckties, and sim lar u
ticles can be manufactured from them, and
they are specially suited for making the
6nest lace. At present the production of
these fbres hardly exceeds 300 kilogrammes
GAO lbs.) o year. Specimens of these
curious mussels aud their flashed products
were exhibited at the recent Paris Exhi
bition, but they appear to have been over

are but two ways IN which III may be mel. III
may be acknowledged as correct, anc may be
taken as a basis for legislation, or it may he
repudiated altogether as unfounded aud absurd.
IF Ireland stood by herself, there could be no
question which Of the two courses would be
adopted. She could not go on e%nriching her
self by dipping into her own pocket and scram-
bling over the proceeds 1t is her connection
with a richer country than herself that makes
the dipping process a lucrative one. What
Ireland most wants is not exceptional treatment
of any kind, but g return to the ordinary
notions which are current everywhere else. If
Irishmen could be convinced that they must
depend on themselves, they would have gained a
lesson worth more than all the harbour loans,
or Improvement loans, or relief funds which
have been lavi8hed upon them, and have left
them in the end just as badly of as before.
But this, it will be replied, is no fair statement
of the case. The most disoonte1ted clasa Of
Irishmen would be satisfied, for he time ut
least, with what their own island might De
made to yield them. 1t is England which
imposed on them the troublesome restrictions Of
private property, especially in the matter Of
land. These would not survive d severance Of
the English connection. Ii is only fair, there
fore, that England should be called upon to
gild the pill which she persists il administering.

Saved from the Poor House.
Assignee of May & Ternc

For years David AllmgsWorth suf-
fcrcd with rheumatism, and notWith-
standing the best medical attendance,
could not lind relief He came to the
Sciota county poorhousc, and had to
be carried into and ont Of bed, ON ac-
count of his helpless condition. After
the failure Of AL the remedies which
had been applied, the directors Of the
poorhouse resolved to use the cele-
DRAFTED German Remedy, st. Jacobs
Oil, and this was i fortunate rcsolu-
ton; for, With the trial OF ono bottle,
the patinent was already much better
and when four bottles had been used
upon him, he could again walk about
without the use of i cane.
The facts as above stated, will be
verified by the editor of the Ports
mouth, Ohio, Courier.

Query.

Why is it, that the good people of
our city turn up their noses in deris-
ion, or hold up their hands in holy
horror at the name Theatre" and
flock in overwhelming numbers to see
a "nigger show" Within short
time past both a Theatre and a Min
strel Troupe have visited our place.
The former came with talent, scenery
good plays and gave the people the
worth of their money, and no one can
deny that each play they put on the
stage was moral and refined. Yet,
some of the exceedingly good ones
used all their influence against it, and
one Of the ministers classed it (the
theatre) "as the second step on the
downward road yet, some of these
same people were visible ut the enter
tainment given by Sprague's Hum-
bugs, lust Wednesday evening, and
were evidently amused at seeing one
"darkie" pound another over the head
with Il "tambOurine," and went into
ecstacies when an "end man opened
his big, ugly mouth and allowed the
audience to see his supper in process
of digestion. Can any one explain
the taste or notions some of our pco-
pie have concerning amusements?

The ~ prcIixcd 10 many Of the

pupils il should be stated that sick
ness accounts for absence i'll nearly
every case. Sixty-thrcc, the actual
number of days Of school, denotes
perfection III the column headed
Attendance. In many eases il
smaller number than this shows
that the pupil began at some time
subsequent to the opening Of the

respect is indicated by a blank.
The record of department is omit

reached standard in this respect
that renders a. public repors UNI
necessary either as Il stimulus to
pupils or a means of information to
parents. Although there is room
for great improvement in indiyid-
ual cases, popular sentiment
throughout the school has come to
set so strongly against wrong con-
duct that there is q close approx

expected that III every instance

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Term Closing December 10, 1879.

The subjoined statement of atten-
dance, punctuality, etc, exhibits n
more satisfactory condition Of the
several departments in these re-
spects than any heretofore reported.
The percentages ofattendance are up
to those of many of the best man
aged school systems in the cities
and villages of the State; they are
excelled i'll very few places Tardi-
ness can, with effort, be further
diminished, and parents are re-
quested to cooperate in accom-
plishing this. The department that
presents the best showing in this
respect records an enrolment of As,
with q total Of six cases of tardi-
ness for the term; several others,
though much below this, have y
record highly creditable. The aver
age Of hardness reaches something
more than one case for each pupil
enrolled.
Pupils who have been neither
absent nor ta,dy during the term
exclusive Of those in the High
School and Preparatory class whose
record is given at length below are

Resolved, That the association
gratefully acknowledges the valuable

to give more attention to educational
subjects, and wherever il Is possible,
to secure the establishment of cduca-
tional departments ~ he local and
general newspapers.
Resolved, That our special nc

GROWING OLD
BIZ ". e. CAMERON.

As we grow old our yesterdays
Seem very dim and distant;
We grope, as though in darken'd ways,
Through all that is existent;
Yet tar off days shine bright and clear
With suns that long have faded.
And faces dead see( strangely near
To those that life has shaded.
AS we grow old our tears are few
For friends most lately taken,
But fall--as falls the summer dew
From roses gently shaken
When some chance word or idle strain,
The chords Of memory sweeping,
Unlock the flood gates OF our pain
For those who taught US weeping.
AS we grow old our smiles are rare
10 those who greet us daily,
Or, ii some living faces wear -
The looks that. beamed so gaily
From eyes long closed-and We would
In answer to their wooing, [smile
"Tis but the past that shines the while
. Our power to smile renewing.
AS we grow old our dreams at night
Are never Of the morrow; [bright,
They come with vanished pleasure
Or dark with olden sorrow;
And when we wake the names we say
Are not Of any mortals. t'sa
But of those in some long dead day
Passed through life's sunset portals.
