mlny towns ware represented at the
school superintendent convention
held at Guildhall?" Do our readers
fully appreciate the sentiments that
are here conveyed? We trow not.
On the first Tuesday of March, we go
to town meeting to here of the finan.
eial, moral and intellectual welfare of
our towns. We hear the report of the
School Superintendent read, and find
therein complaint that the parents,
ana Others having the care of those
who go to school, never go to see how
they are treated, and what facilities
are allowed them for prosecuting their
studies. No doubt, these remarks are
well meant but is it consistent to
make them, aud then set the example
of neglect by staying away from the
convention where all things pertain
ing to schools, school Discipline and
teachers should be freely discussed ?
IL would be perfectly natural for
parents to shun the schools, when the
superintendent shun meeting called
especially, by law, for the perfecting
OF our school system. The parents see
that the work has no general interest
for the Superintendent, and that the
latter evidently looks upon 1t with the
greatest distaste. Why then should
he 1.-THE parent) be so repeatedly re-
quested to "grace the school with his

IMPERIAL FEET W4>HING.-The Austrian
Court is the most pious one in Europe. On
Holy Thursday the Emperor and Empress,
in the presence of their whole Court, of
the Privy Council, the diplomatic Corps
and the superior officers of the Vienna
garrison, washed the feet of twenty.four
peor old men and women, having pre-
vieusly served these venerable paupers
with plentiful meal, placing the several
dishes before their humble guests with
their own hands. After the old people
had partaksn of the good things provided
fer them by the Imperial bounty, the
tables were cleared by Imperial Archdukes
and Ladies of Honor. At its conclusion
the feet.washing ceremony took place, a
court chaplain reading aloud from Holy
Writ during the performance of this an.
cient rite. Subsequently purse contain.
ing thirty pieces of silver was presented by
the Emperor to each of the old men, and
by the Empress to each of the venerable
DANES, one of whom had all but attained
her hundredth year, while the youngest of
the twelve was hearty octogenarian.

FIDELITY OF THE SOUTHERN NEGRo.-In
making an appeal Sunday for the Ameri.
can Missionary Association, Mr.. Beecher
alluded to q striking fact in the history of
the race upon which the writers have dwelt
little if at all. This was the fidelity of the
Southern negroes to their masters families
during the war, when insurrecticn would
have been so easy. To quote Mr. Beecher
Through four years, while all able-boded
white men were in the Southern armies,
100000 slaves remained in quietness culti-
waiting their masters farms, many of them
within sound of the cannon which heralded
their emancipation. There never was an
example of such patience and fidelity"
No doubt the historian will be compelled
to admit that something of this inaction
was due to the ignorance and helplsssRess
of the negroes, their inability to organize,
ETC., but the essential fact of the affection
ate fidelity of the race will remain unchal.

Mr.. Martin /. Townsend belongs to an
adult Bible class in the First Presby terian
Church at Troy, and last Sunday, The Wing
reports, said a few words in reference to the
lessons uRder discussion. He declared
that y certain uniformity was apparent in
the conduct Of Christians in all ages; that
there seemed to be no hesitation on their
part in getting up into a chariot with an
Ethiopian when they were travelling on
foot, but that history contained very few
examples Of their inviting the Ethiopian to
ride with them when they were in the
chariot and the Ethiopian was travelling on
foot. He apologzsd for suggesting this
thought by stating that it was possible he
might become mere strongly than ever
before imbued with its full force and apt.
ness from the nature of his employment
during the last two weeks at West Point.

Too MAD FOR TIE LIMITs.-A gentleman
whose face had look anything but pleas
ant yesterday purchased postal card at
the post Office and took up pen and wrote
for about two minutes with determined
hand. Then, as he blotted the card, he
asked the stamp clerk:
ais it against postal rules to call man
a liar on postal card ?"
The clerk thought it was, and the man
tore up the card, bought another, and after
writing few lines inquired:
1t can't be against the rules to call him
a villain, can it?''
The clerk again decided it was and a
third card was purchased. This time the
man pondered over his lines, signed his
name and said:
81 have written here that he ought to
be in Jail for his conduct. Is that against
the postal rules ~
The clerk wouldn't dare run the risk
himself, and the indignant citizen tore the
card into dozen pieces and exclaimed:
"Go to Halifax with your post-otfice
won't send any card at all, but I'll waylay
the fellow and knock the top of his head

THE GENTLEMAN WINs.-If you speak
the right word at the right time; if you
are careful to leave people with good ina.
preston; if you do not trespass upon the
rights of others as well as yourselfj if you
do not put yourself uHduly forward; if you
do not forget the courtesies which belong
to your position, you are quite sure to ac-
complish much in life which others with
equal abilities fail to. This is where the
race is not to the swift nor the battle to
the strong. 1t is where you make people
feel that you are unsslfish and honorable
and trOuthful and sincere. This is what
society is looking for in men, and it is
astonishing how much men are able to win
self respect, success and usefulness whe
possess these qualities of good breeding.
1t is almost the turning point of success in
Drnctical life
