GET READY FOR SCHOOL.
Cor The True Northerner.

For The True Northerner.
These are simple words, easily spelled, easily
read and, like most simple words, convey far
more to the mind of the reader than they seem
to by an Indifferent reading but by careful
analysis and defining they will be found to mean
very much which is of great importance to ev-
eryone.
Who are to "get ready for school," and what
is 10 be done to "get ready for school,?
School Boards are to get ready for school by
seeing to it that the buildings are thoroughly
ned,-hoots, walls, windows, woodwork,
ceiling, everywhere, every crack, every corner !;
that the rooms are properly ventilated, heated
and lighted, seats comfortable and adapted TO
tie needs OF the pupils; that the windows are
properly shaded; that there is a large quantity
of black board that there is a large dictionary
on the teachers table; that there are plenty OF
maps. charts, black board rubbers pointers and
crayons; that there is a good globe; that the
water pals are clean and sweet that the water
that the pupils are to drink is pure and healthy,
whether it is from the well on the school ground
or from nelghboring one.
write thus unto you, Oh, ye School Boards
because in many districts these duties are sadly
| neglected.
Teachers are to "get ready for school, by a
| firm, stck-to- resolve TO do better work, less
superficial, more practical, more thorough than
ever before; by . reformation from all dIshon-
esty, trickery, lying, deception, profanity chew
ing, smoking, tipling, aud all bad habits, II they
have any, from the least to the greatest, and
| becoming q fit leader for the young.
Again, teachers should prepare for school by
q careful determination as to the motives
| prompting them to teach. II they are sehsb
and sordid, altogether or principally, they will
never be able to get themselves in proper readi-
ness for school,

ITO that store, OF course. Everybody is

with illustrations, OF the collision between the
U. S. steamship Oneida and the British msr-
chant-vessel Bombay, in the Bay OF Yokohama
in 1870. The true statement OF the case, il
seems has not heretofore appeared IN popu-
lar 70. n, and this description, by Lieutenant
T. \. Lyons, L. 5. n, who was in the vicinity
when the accident happened, throws new light
on the matter, and shows where the blame
should rest, Taking into consideration the nu-

called 'tmely." When Woods are Green is a

Religion and Politics.

Somo persons seem not to SEQ tho differ
cncc between mixing politics with religion
and mixing religion with politics. The
former is an evil, and ought not to be done;
tho latter is good aud sht to bo dono as
much as possible. Tho former is the
policy of the demagoguc, the latter is the
course of the upright.
There is too little religion in politics,
because, too often, there is little of it in
aud among politicians. If muu is pious
when he cutters into politics he will, if
not watchful, lose ground in grace and
purchancc lose his religion OF length.
Nlnny "good man" has lost his religion
in the race, wrongles and "rngs" of poll
tics; md, in the end, lost his politics, or,
which is about the same thing, was sftcd
to Que side, or "taiIcd" off among tho cha #
out of view, without religion, without
Office, without money und nearly without
much character.
Many men end their political career
quite different from what they intended -
from what they strovc to make it. Their
failure was caused by unexpected tcmpta-
tons or tests which were too much for
their stock of strength with their religion
to help Such arc to be pitied rather than
ccnsured. They started well but ended
badly, because there was too little religion
10 politics-in his fellow politicians.
Now what ought to be done? What can
be done to work the needed reform? The
demagogucs-and their ignorant, uudis-
eliminating dupcs will join in the old
clap trap cry against "mixing religion and
politics together" yea sound the alarm
against the union Of "Church and Stutc!'
and would mako believe that religion is a
dangerous factor to admit into politics, il
! 'shus caused thousands of mon to be put tc
| DEATH" &c.
The only way to get more religion into
politics is to put moro religious or moral
men into Office, keeping back men who have
not fair moral character, be their politics
what they may. Self constituted cliques
aud rings who assume to nominate candi.
dates for Office should be taught to know
their place; aud if by any trickery, immoral,
unfit men arc found on the "tickct' tho
day of election, then let the voter have the
independence to "scratch until he purgcs
tho list Of all names that do not belong to
men Of fair moral character. Let every
mans vote be a sincere expression of his
Judgment as to the moral fitness Of men
for Office If, after all, unfit men get into
Office, the vote for better mon will be a
protest against the evil. It is better tc
fail in an effort to do what is wrong! Pu,
more trucly religious men in office and
there will be that which is greatly needed
moro religion in politics

The World that / am Passing
Through.


Few, in days Of carly youth,
Trusted like me In love and truth.
I've learned sad lessons from the years,
but slowly md With many tears;
For God made mo to kindly view
Tho world that I was passing through.
t1ow little did I once believe
That friendly tones could e'er deceive,
That kindncss and forbearanoe long,
Might meet ingratitudo mud wrong!
/ could not help but kindly view
The world that l was passing through.
Aud though l'vo learned some souls are base
I would not therefore bate the race;
still would bless my follow men,
And trust thom though deceived again.
God holp mo still to kindly view
The world that am passing through.
From oil that fate has brought to mo,
/ strive to learn humility;
And trust 10 him who rules above,
Whose universal law is love.
Thus cnly can kindly view
The world that I am passing through.

/ port arc taught at the convent But it is
also an industrial school, to which tho waifs
OF society are sent by the government.
From tho fees of tho town children aud tho
money paid by tho government, aidcd by
he contributions of tho Catholic benovo-
lence In ireland and England, tho convent
has always been able to maintain itself we'll
and having inspected scores of similar in
sntut'ons 10 our own country, supported
both by public charity aud the
State, | can truthfully soy, not from court
esy only, but Knowledge, that the Westport
Convent need fear no omplrison with any
industrial school in America. Everything
is oloun and wholesome aud cheerful about
It. But what recalled America to mo when
l visited it was not its order nor it's tidi-
ness, but the fact that tho children 10 the
industrial school looked happy and smiled
that they were welI.bchaved litto girls
with laughing eyes, not the sad old women
disguised as ragged girls whom I have seen
with pink and chlblainod feet, mute and
snlverlng in tho slippery and smoky cabins
OF tho country. And yet these happy
children, the only happy children l saw
III tho West, were either orphuns or pau
pers or the castaways Of the streets!
Gan the Americans conceive of country
. wnoae only happy children arc in a public
institution! 1t you can do SO, then you
see the West of ireland ia the winter of
1881. Now don't suy "God pity thcm;"
just pity them yourself first. They need
no moro prayers, but they do need moro
meal.

"A GlrA's View Of Ea.

Getting married is not altogether the
one sided affair that some have supposed.
The popular idea that all the young women
are just crazy to marry anybody that will
como along, and that the reason they don't
get married is because nobody will ask them
seems to be mistaken one. A ST. Louis girl
and St. Louis girl is as apt to have good
sense as any other girl-has been making
some calculations which arc Of much inter
est. Young men who now have their pow
crful intelects conferred upon the subject of
spring panialoons aud tho newest shade in
nccktics might contemplate the matter with
some profit if they make their minds reach
around it. The St. Louis young woman
is complaining of tho scarcity of mar
ringeabo young mon, but she has some
reason about it, She figures out that she
knows, perhaps, one hundred young men,
in round numbers Of these she thinks
she knows about thirty intimately, and Of
these thirty there arc not more than four
whom she would consent to marry for love
or money on tho spur Of tho moment. 1t
may not be pleasant way of putting it.,
but what she says is that, taking hundred
youDg men as they como and go, only one
out of every twenty five can be set down az
unobjcctonable and ablo to mako q living
for himself and wife. This is an awful
thing for those other twenty four young
men to think Of, and yet it is not necessary
for one to bo altogether a philosopher to
suspect that the St. Louis girl is about right.
She ia evidently tirod hooriog the endless
average young woman, when hen she knows that
the average young man is quito as much ont
OF the place in tho void. In fact, q usoloss
young woman docs stand chance of
growing up to something or another, but n
useless young man doesn't do that, cvon
by auy sort Of accident. Young men have
got to mako change 10 themselves in soma
way; they are liabo to be wanted for somn~
thing besides partners for tho next waltz.

Lotteries Must Go.

Tho Supreme Court of tho United
States has decided that lotteries are illeg,l,
as follows:
John b. Stone ct al vs.. tho State of IS
sssippi. The question presented by this
oaso is whether State after having char
tered lottery company and entered into
contract with it sti!l has constitutional
right before the expiration of tho time of
tho oompany's charter and in tho absence
of any default on tho company's part to
pass laws making the conducting of lot
terry, whether authorized or unauthorized
an offence against tho State. In tho pres
ent case the State brought suit to suppress
the lottery known as tho Mississippi Agri~
cultural, Educational and Manufacturing
Aid Society, chartered by the State in 1867,
but forbidden by Article IL, Section Is,
of the State Constitution of 1868. The
Circuit Court eutcred judgment of custer
against the respondents, whnh, upon ap-
peal, was affirmed by tho Supreme Cou,t
Of tho State. This Court holds that al
though the lottery company of the plain
tiff's in error was duly chartered by the
State, the Legislature which granted that
charter had no authority to bargain away
tho police power of tho State, TINT is the
regulation Of all matters affecting the pub
lio health and public morals; that lotteries
arc dcmoralizing n their effects, no mpttor
how carefully regulated, cannot, in the
opinion of this Court, be doubted There
is now scarcely State in the Union where
they arc tolerated, and Congress hos enacted
special statute, the object of which is to
close the mails against them. This being
hn h.,s kl,ok la
tcries arc proper subjects for tho exercise of
State, Governmental or police power.
Contracts which the Federal Constitution
protects arc those which relate to property
rights, not to governmental rights
Lotteries belong to the latter class
Thoy are species of gambling aud wrong
in their influences. They disturb tho
checks and balance Of we'll ordered com
munity. Society built on such foundations
would almost Of necessity bring forth q
population of spectators and gamblers
living on the expectation Of what chaucc
might award them IRON the accumulations
of others. Certainly The right to stop
them is governmental and can be exercised
at all times by those in power at their
discretion. Any one therefore who accepts
a lottery charter does so with the implicit
understanding that tho people in thcil
sovereign capacity and through their prop
erly constituted authorities may take i,
back at any time when tho public good shall
require, and this whether it be paid for o,
not. lie gets in legal effect nothing more
than license to continue on terms named
for specified time, unless sooner abrogated
by the sovereign power of the State. I,
is permit as against existing laws, but
subject to future legislation or constitu,
tional control or withdrawal. Deorcc
affirmed with costs. Opinion by Chic
