That said when you went away,
l had been more careful, darling, sa
Nor given you needless putin; .sf
But we vex our own with look and tone
We may never take back again.
For, though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peace.
Yet 1t might well be that never for me
The pain OF the heart should ceasel
How many 60 forth at morning
Who never come home at nightp
And hearts have broken for harsh
words spoken,
That sorrow can never get right.
We have careful thought for the stran-
ger, I
And smiles for the metimes guest
But oft for our own the bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.
All, lips with the curve impatient!
All, brow with the shade of scornl
'Iwere cruel fate were the night too
late
To undo the work of morn!

TIE PARISH DEMOCRACY AT
<..@ Sa# 1Ea WORK 5Ha.g -

The Parish Democracy of Orlean.
has already gone earnestly to work
and in quiet but M st effective wa,
is steadily organizing victory. Or
Friday night last it established q
Central Ward Club in the Third
Ward, under encouraging auspices
and within a short time will take
the same important step in every
ward in the city.
In politics, and particularly in
New Orleans politics, organization is
we'll nigh the equivalent of success.
For long term Of years the city
has been, more or less, completely
under the control Of a minority.
which has prevailed only because its
discipline has enabled its leaders to
WELD it5as unit. The most CONNIE
tent authorities on that subject are
Of the opinion that the whole voting
strength of the ring forces here does
not amount to more than five thou
sand all told. When we remember
that according TO tie last census. 10
this parish in, the year 1880 there
were $500 males over twenty-oue
years of age, we may we'll be amaz, !,
that so small a number should have
been able to ride rough. shod over
the will of the majority. The ex
PLANTATION, of course, is that full
vote was not polled in the first place,
and in the second that the vote that
was polled was not fairly counted.
But in order to secure a full vote
the people must be assured that it
will be counted as cast; and without
organization it is impossible to give
such assurance. When men see in
every ward strong and active cen.
trail club pledged to the protect
ton Of their. suffrage they will be en-,
to come to the polls, and
The consequent feeling of confidence
will prompt the requisite vigilance
and 6rmness to overswe those bold |
and cunning swindlers who other.
wise would stuff the ballot boxes aud |
Falsify the returns with impunity.
1t will be a bright day for the Lou-
siana Democracy when that condi.
ion of things has been brought
bout, for then only will the party
Exert its whole strength in New Or
cans, and New Orleans is the Demo
ratic stronghold in the State. Forl
hat reason, the Parish Democracy
t Orleans will receive the hearty
of all good Democrats ev
rywhere.
The issues pending here are we'll
nderstood. That there is a wide.
pread and growing demand for re- |
'rm in the administration Of public
fairs is beyond question. The pre-
snse of a few benefciaries Of the
ng that the Parish Dem ocracy
ives its origin to motives Of person.
ambition, meets with no credence, I
" the personnel Of that organiza I
on is of itself sufficient refutation ,
the charge. So far az the argu

PerceptOmetry.

The mind eats an idea. The image
absorbed must be either retained and
digeSted or it must be vomited backinto
forgetfulness. This theory alone ex-
plains the fact that the rural-bred bow
SO uniformly excels in strong common
sense the crammed occupant of our city
schools. Constant retching DESTROYS
the vigor of the stomach; so, the perpet.
ual cram of matter which nobody ex-
poets will be retained in making our
school children dyspeptics. Readers
OF the biographies of self-made men
note the fact that these self-builders
have had very limited supply of print
ted matter; therefore such as they had
was well digested. / have made this
matter a subject of thought for several
years. The profession of pedagogy can
never obtain its due recognition until
the minds state is known beyond cavil.
AS preliminary step to this desidera-
tum l am pertecting an apparatus by
means of which the operations of the
mind may be noted and timed. use a
stop watch to take the time consumed
IN the absorption of an image by the
brain through the ear and THROUGH
the eye. By deducting the time en-
pIoyed in q mere mechanical repetition
OF the names of the images employed. I
get the period actually consumed in the
process of mental digestion. The diff
ference of time required among class
of pupils to receive and to return an
image of the mind is really astonishing.
1t must be borne in mind that when an
Ineligible sound enters the brain
through the ear, the brain must rapidly
seize upon some standard object of the
kind and build up brain counterpart
before the sound becomes live enough
to return again to the teacher. Thus.
If ! call out ''pig, y the pupil seizes upon
some mental picture of an animal faTnil-
lar to all; it is erected in the brain
structure and is then ready for reitera-
ton. BY going about class of forty
pupils, giving every one word in rapid
succession, get the exact time of the
exercise. By repeating to myself. in
the same common time, the words used.
i am enabled to get the difference of
time between the receipt and delivery
and the mere delivery. This time rem
resents the period of mental digestion.
| think the process can and viii be re-
duced to a scientific basis. Think. too.
that IN the hereafter the services of =
teacher viii be measured in part by
scientific calculation, such as here out
lined. When this can be done there
viii be new era for professional school
teachers and hegira for mere school
