EARLY SCHOOL DAYS.
BY JOHN CHAPMAN.

| l think there are few men, and still
fewer women, of middle age. for whom
the memories of childhood a-d youth
have peculiar and subtle charm. The
recollections of our early days awake US
again into new life, while the scenes oi
our school days return to us, clothed in
new beauty, and in the sunshine of
memory disappear the gathered frosts
ofmaturer years. Amid the busy scenes
and anxious cares of daily life, the
thoughts of our early home and com.
panions come back to us, sometimes,
with a tenderness all their own. Long
years have passed since they were map
|ped out on my memory, the lone,
one-story, red, district school-house of
Marlboro, my native town.
They were generally situated at the
junction or two or more roads, for the
convenience of scholars who were scat
tered over widely extended territory,
and the number Of my school fellows
were not few, who had to pass over
the distance of between one and two
miles to reach those little seminaries,
fifty years ago. At that time less than
six hundred scholars embraced the full
quota of the town, many of them being
full grown men and women. The inte.
uor of the school.houseS at that time
were rudely constructed and inconve.
nient, the desks and long, hard benches
for seats, were SO placed that all the
larger scholars in school were obliged
to sit with their backs to the teacher,
which made it very unpleasant for both,
and very awkward for the scholars of
both sexes, as when they wished to
leave or return to their seats, they were
obliged to climb the benches, and clam
Dor into position as best they could.
The branches mostly attended
to were reading, spelling, arithmetic
and grammar, The English Reader,
and American First.Class Book were
he standard reading books, and Muir
'ay's Grammar, which used to befog US,
md Adams and Colburn's Arithmetics,
We were required TO master.
The teachers in those days were usu-
lily graduates of some Of our own
chools, or some young student who
vas working his way through college. ,

There are great many in this world
like Mrs. Braden, and but few compar-
atively, like Mrs. Neil.
We cannot always eat bread and but
ter and bacon and beans and hominy,
with a relish. The stomach will tire of
drudgery-so to speak-and demand a
change to daintier and more appetlzing
food. Ii we fail to heed its demands,
our deranged health is sure to pay the
penalty.
If the stomach needs change, how
much more does the mind. the heart,
the soul, need the refining and purifying
influence of flowers and everything else
that adds to the beauty and grace OF
life. We cannot always contemplate a
head of cabbage or an onion bed or a
hill Of potatoes with an admiring eye;
but we will surely tire of them, no mat
ter how enthusiastic We NAV be in clam
oring for utility before beauty.
Ii is a poor plan to do no work that
does not have "money in it," and it is
absolutely wicked to willfully set aside
all the beautiful things we oug,'t to en-
JOY, and to devote our whole time and
energies to the art of money getting and
money keeping.
Do not, if you value your own happi-
ness, neglect any of these opportunities
for associating with the sweetest and tn
flirest creations of nature.
Let US sometimes have few roses
about our nice gardens. instead of a
row of cabbages each side of the gar
den walk. The beds of grass pinks may
well crowd out the tomato vines, and
the portulaccas and verbenas, should
occupy the ground usually allotted to
the potato patch. Surely our beautiful
prairies are broad enough to allow for
both flowers and vegetables: for beauty
and utility.
