CHANGES 10 THE
SCHOOL LAW.

Attention is called to sLort COM
munication urging certain changes
in the school law. The propositions
made therein are wise and should be
adopted. The intent of free educa-
ton ought to be, that every child in
the state, within the scholastic age,
should have its benefits without any
dictation to the parent or guardian
as to the channel through which
such education is to be obtained, ex-
cept that this channel be proper
educational one. The law should be
so amended that on the order of the
parent or guardian the pro rata OF
money due for the tuition of any
child may be paid to the person con-
Quoting the child's education.
Let us suppose that pa
rent sends his child TO a
sectarian" school in preference to
sending to the school in the commu-
nifty in which he lives, the sectarian
school being in the same county.
Such parent should have the right
to direct that the school money due
his child should be paid over to the
school to which he sends. Such
plan would do away with the most
solid argument that has been
brought against the free schools.
The parent would thus be lett in en-
tire control of the child, while the
state would simply distribute the
fund for tuition, this tuition being
controlled entirely by the parent, the
state alone regulating the standard of
schools. The proposition is also to
change the law so as to prevent the
designation of particular months
during which pupils must attend
school to secure the benefit of the
school fund, which designation is op-
pressive and most unjust, and tends
also to defeat the application OF BEN
efits from the fund. Should child's
constitution be such as that attend
ance upon school in the winter
months is adverse to health, this
should not preclude such child from
free tuition when the spring opens
Equal distribution of money raised
for public tuition is the only just
method that may be adopted, and
all should have the benefits of it
alike. When we have school law,
such as Our correspondent suggests,
then there will be no one in the
state disposed to murmur at its en-
forcement. Such a law would be IN
accordance with the spirit of our
form of government, and the free
school system would have much
stronger hold upon the public mind.

Early last summer Messrs. b. j.. Kendall
& Co., Of Enosburgh Falls, VT, made a con-
tract with the publishers of the Press for
half column advertisement for one year set
ting forth the merits of KendalPs SPAWN
Cure. At the same time we secured from
the firm a quantity of books, entitled DR..
KendalPs Treatise on the Horse and his
Disease, which we are giving to advance
paying subscribers to the Press as a pre-
MUM.
About the time the advert sement first APP
peared in this paper Mr.. P. G. Scherm sr-
horn, who resides near Golfers had a SPAWN
ed horse. He read the advertisement and
concluded to test the efficacy Of the remedy,
although his friends laughed at his credulity.
He bought bottle of Kendall's SPAWN
Cure and commenced using il on the horse
in accordance with the directions, and he in
formed US this week that it effected such a.
complete cure that an expert horseman, who
examined the animal recently could find no
trace Of the SPAWN or the place where it had
been located. Mr.. SchermerhO-n has since
secured a copy Of Kendall's Treatise on the
Horse and his Diseases, which he prizes very
highly and would be 10th to part with it at
any price, provided he could not obtain an
other copy. So much for advertising relia-
Bile articles.

you had to get out Of your bed at ?
o'clock in the morning; don't you
think you'd put a little water in the
milk occasionally"

himself up in conscientious pride;

a little milk into the water, just to
give it a color, you know, but not a
drop more.

Young gentlemen! I am invited to
speak to YOU for FIVE minutes, and
only five. Little can be said, and
much may be done in five minutes.
In five minutes you may fire city,
scuttle a ship, or ruin soul. The
error of a moment makes the sorrow
of a life. Get that thought well IN
to your hearts, and my work is done
in minute, instead of five.
Many young man, in a moment
of weakness, or of strong temptation,
has wrought ruin that a lifetime,
though a thousand years long, can
never rebuild. One crime, one sin,
one error, yes, one neglect of duty,
and the deed is done, perhaps for
ever.
In a moment of hunger, Esau sold
his birthright for a mess of pottage.
Millions of boys sell theirs for less.
A breach of trust, an act of dishon-
estv, profane word, and the soul is
defled with a stain that five oceans
cannot wash away.
Remember that in five minutes you
can destroy your good name, fill your
soul with undying remorse, and bring
with sorrow your fathers gray hams
to the grave. But, if you can do SO
much evil, so you can do a mighty
sum of good in five minutes.
You may decide to live for useful
ness and honor. Everything hangs
on that choice, and it may be made
in five minutes as well as in five
years.

Those who drink tea Will find the
nose one of the best judges for distin-
gushing good tea, and how to pre-
pare tea properly, art teaches us. To
obtain a beverage very aromatic, and
only in a small degree astringent, you
must infuse the tea for half an hour
in very small quantity Of cold wa
ter, and then add the boiling water,
pouring the tea, before it is very
brown, into the cup. The cold water
saturates the whole texture of the
leaves, and produces the same advan-
tage as when We wish to obtain good
broth from butchers meat; and the
boiling water separates the tanin from
the cafein, which is precipitated when
the confusion begins to grow cold.

a horse with eight nails to each shoe,
commencing at one cent for the first
nail and doubling the amount Of each
succ Is sive nail, amounts in the total
to s 42,949,672.95. This is altogeth-
or too much money for shoeing a
horse, though no doubt the black
saith might be prevailed upon to
throw off 50 cents. A cheaper plan
would be to pay him one cent for the
first nail, and then take the horse
home, and return him next day and
begin over again, commencing at the
second nail at one cent, and so on
until the horse was shod. This would
consume thirty-two days in the shoe
ing, but the owner of the animal
would save a big pile of money.
