Influence of Newspapers.

A school teacher, who had been long
time engaged in his profession, and wit
messed the influence of a newspaper upon
the minds of a family of children, writes
as follows:
| have found it to be universal fact,
without exception, that those scholars of
both sexes and of all ages who have ac-
cess to newspapers at home, when com
pared with those who have not, are
/. Better readers, excellent in pro-
nunciation, and consequently read more
understandingly.
2. They are better spoilers, and define
words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain practical knowledge
of geography in almost half the time it
requires of others, as the newspapers
have made them acquainted with the To-
cation of the important places, of nations,
their government and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians for
having become so familiar with every
variety of style in the newspapers, from
the commonplace advertisement TO the
finished and classical Grafton of states
men; they more readily comprehend the
meaning of the text, and constantly ana
lyze its construction with accuracy.
5. They write better compositions,
using better language, containing more
thoughts-more clearly and correctly ex-
pressed.
6. Those young men who have for
years been readers of newspapers are al
ways taking the lead in debating societies,
exhibiting more extensive knowledge
upon great variety Of subjects, and ex-
pressing their views with greater tluency,
clearness and correctness.
The Osceola times., 1882-09-16
Strange But Common Facts.

That an occasional meal away from
ones own house, and at another's table,
relishes better than any at home.
That people should ask to be delivered
from Sudden death" and never pray to
be spared lingering, die-by-inches exit,
That man will travel miles, agonizing
at every step from bit Of gravel or an
obstructive peg in his shoe before he will
stop and take it out.
That man never knows what a weak,
tickle and uncertain master he has in
himself until he is at liberty to govern
his own life and do as he pleases.
That when a poet or philosopher dies
a dozen men and women try to kitetail
themselves into fame by telling all they
know about him.
That so many people forget the weather
they experienced last year, and declare
they "never saw such summer as this
before" No, never
That histories written fifty years ago
assert how the people of that time were
living "at the apex of knowledge and en-
lightment," which remark is sometimes
repeated to-day.
That when a philosopher or scientist
puts forth some new idea, all the wool
gathering, the guesses, and his maunder-
ings afterward written by him about,
around and concerning that idea or
truth, or semi-truth, as the case may be,
are often by his admirers regarded as
most important and sacred words.
