The select school in district No. 3, of
which Miss Wheeler of Burlington is
teacher, is prospering finely. Some
years have gone by since we have seen
our young ladies and gentlemen vending
their way toward "rimothy's hill. &
where the school house is located, with
so earnest steps; and the expression worn
upon their faces shows plainly that ''it's
business" Evening sessions OF study
are in style, and rs Il natural result of all
this, grand Improvement is being made.
Being graduate of the normal school at
johnson, she brings to the school new
ways, doing away with old hum-drum
methods of former years and awakening
new interest in studies heretofore dull
and stale. Perfect order has been restor-
ed, and the best of feeling between teach
er and pupil prevails. 1t is hoped that
Miss Wheeler may be induced to remain
here during the winter, and give the reg
ular school of the district a touch of dis
cipline and new ways.

On the Both uit. the Rev. Mr.. Patten
preached, in the Congregational church.
on the "Personality and Office of the

done many of the sensational preachers
of the day good to listen to. 1t was
an able, exhaustive and unanswera-
BILE argument in favor of the post ions
assumed by the speaker, and one that by
its clearness of thought and language
showed that he gave his hearers the ben
eft of his close study of the scriptures.

But that was vain suggestion. Mr..
Franklin, as everybody knew, would not
be brought back.
"Mr. Franklin's pastor must answer for
him, them" said the minister; and Mr..
Strong walked up the aisle amid great
cheering. In few graceful words he
told the congregation that Mr.. Thorpe
was right in his conjecture; that the plan
of aiding them in their difficult under.
taking was conceived and set in motion
by Mr.. Franklin, who had, nevertheless,
been supported in the heartiest manner by
the gentlemen on whom he had called
that the whole scheme was the inspira.
tion of q moment, and the fruit of few
hours work and that he trusted that the
result of it would be, not only the enamel.
patton of the Methodist church from the
bondage of debt, but the strengthening OF
the bond of fellowship among the churches
of New Albion. To that wish there were
many fervent responses, and after prayer
of thanksgiving by the pastor, and the
singing of "Blest be the tie that binds, y
the congregation broke up. That day
will never be forgotten by any one who
had part in its doings, and fruit of the
seed then sowed will be reaped in the in.

Bells and Whistles.

There is campaign on foot against
unnecessary noises. In many different
places complaints have been made within
few years of the needless and ANNOYING
blowing of whistles and ringing of bells
upon railroads and manufactures, and
now there are signs of hostility to the
ringing of church bells. We have great
sympathy with the protests against the
former, although we are not ready to say,
all things considered, that the public con.
venience is not accommodated rather than
interfered with by them. We also have
been disturbed not little by certain
church bells. Yet we should regret the
prohibition of the ringing of these, while
we favor either the abolition or the essen
tial modification of the former, except in
such cases of emergency as occur now
and then upon railroad. 1t is urged
with some force that there is no more
need of church bells than of the mill
whistles, and no more need of either than
of similar signals announcing the time
for lecture to begin, or for railroad
train to start. We see distinction, how
ever, which is real and important. The
bells which summon people to church do
more than merely call attention to the
time of day. They proclaim the fact that
Christians of all names are about to en-
gage in the worship of God, and they in
vite the nearer to join that worship and
enkindle within him reflections concern
ing his moral and spiritual obligations.
1t may be urged that this is no more true
than that mill whistle reminds the world
of the duty of industry and summons the
indolent to work. But in fact the sound
of the latter seldom makes such impress
sions. Most people have to work, whether
they like to or not, and the summons to
their labor soon comes to be mere signal
denoting time. On the other hand, it is
fact that the sound of the church bell
has proved itself moral force of great
value. Many person has been awakened
spiritually by it, and by the associations
which it has called to mind, and has been
prompted to enter upon the Christian
life. People are not obliged to go to
church as they are to work, and, there
fore, in the case of multitudes, the sum-
mons to worship never becomes a message
heard merely mechanically, but always
has more or less of special significance.
Were this not true, so many cherished as
sociations linger around the music of the
bells, and it has been accorded so high a
place in the works of the most eminent
poets and prose authors, that to abolish
would seem an act of needless and unpar-
donable violence. Let it be limited, if
there be real occasion. There are many
useless noises which ought to be forbid
den, and in some cases, doubtless, church
bells are so rung as to be annoyances, but
let not the ringing of them be prohibited.
Let it rather be 80 regulated as to make
it to people generally, what it is already
to many, pleasant thing in itself, as well
as in its associations and memories

Don't Swear.

A community of business men about
the docks and slips of New York is suf-
fering with prevalent moral malady.
Sodom was situated in valley, and
seemed to be 30 severely afflicted with that
and kindred maladies, that with all the
entreaties that Lot could express, with
the superadded intercessions of Abraham;
the people could not be saved. At length,
he was obliged to flee to mountain, and
leave them to their fate. Vexed as he
was, some modern Lot has procured q
number of cards in bold capitals to place
in conspicuous places, to warn, rebuke, or
implore the people not to indulge in such
horrid profanity amid schools, churches,
and pious people. Those reckless swear
ers are not aware how strong the habit
may become, and how impossible to break
away from it, even in dying hour, when
to 60 into the presence of the righteous
Judge disappearing his awful name ought
to make any one shudder even at the
thought of it. How many men are there
gentlemen so-called-gentle in the use
OF everything but the terms with which
they emphasize strong point or plain
statement, who are punctilious in the
matter of language in the presence
OF ladies, yet, in careless and flip
pant manner, faunt the name of God
and Jesus Christ when ladies are not
among their auditors. We presume it is
for the cure of this evil that the effort has
been inaugurated. The man who swears
is not gentle. Once in village, man
noted for story telling became so well
known that every one knew that when he
stated anything without an oath he
might safely be believed, but when he
swore to what he said no one believed
him. Let such public sentiment be
formed in that community, and let it be
known far and wide that every man who
will swear will lie, and that he establishes
his own character for the latter by the
former, they being spots of the same color.
