If the Children's Home needs a "we'
nurse" we suggest Mr.. Bloom of the
New Paris Mirror. We don't intend t.
show any selfishness in the distribution
of the "sops" about the Home, and as
Mr.. Bloom assures us the Commission

A short correspondence from New
Paris appeared in the DEMOCRAT last
week, that Mr.. E. E. Green, Druggist Of
the village, thinks reflected upon him
and his vocation. We are sorry if such
is the case, and would not have admit
ted it had we known it; because Mr..
Green is a young gentleman for whom
we have a good deal of respect and wish
prosperity in his business. He is not of
the narrow, bigoted and cranky kind,
and we ch~eerfully commend him to the
support of the citizens Of New Paris and
surrounding country.
Messrs. Wilson, Corwin and friedrich,
Commissioners of Darke County, were

"Maple Grove" is the name of school
house in District No. IL in Washington
township. Mr.. A. G. Hawley closed a
very successful term of school in the
above District last Saturday. The good
people turned out in large force and
gave a fine dinner to pupils, teacher and
friends. The afternoon exercises were
music, recitations, and a speech to the
pupils and parents by S. More Surface.
At night Mr.. s. .lectured on "Sights
Abroad" to a very large, and in the
main, an interested audience. But the
Sherers, Brumbaughs, Harshmans and
Whitesells, owe it to themselves and
their good name to see to it that public
speakers are not annoyed by a few of the
chaser sort'' who were present to the
detriment of the meeting.
Peterson's Magazine for July is even
better than usual, and is especially re-
markable for an illustrated article on
"Longfellow and Westminster Abbey"
Our readers. are aware that the English
admirers of Longfellow have just placed
a bust of him in what is called Poets
Corner" in the great Abbey, where are
the monuments or busts of so many of
the more distinguished authors of Eng
land, from Chaucer down to Thackeray
and Dickens. The article is a timely
one, and gives en~gravings of "Poets'
Corner, the bust itself, the place where
it is put, and of the Abbey generally; al
together an exhaustive article, such as
one rarely sees. The principal steel-en-
craving of the number, ri Care For No
body" is a very charming one, illustra-
ting a capital story by Frank Lee Bene-
dict. Altogether, there is no lady 's-book
published that. can compare with "Pe-
terson'' in literary merit. The price of
this popular magazine is but Two DOL
LARS a year, with great deductions to
clubs. Address Chas. J. Peterson, 306

The following from an exchange, is
worth noticing at this season of the year:
at would be much more prudent to
spend a meager sum of money and send
your children to a subscription school
than to let them run idle through the
spring and summer months, lettering
about the streets, being pupils to all
kinds of devilment, which may lead them
to a violation Of law. Yes, it would be
far better to spend a little extra money
toward the proper education o fyour child
rem, than to let them follow idleness, and
thus run the risk of being compelled to
release them from some charge of unlaw-
~fulness. Idleness is the school of vice
and c~riminality where acts of violence
are generated and desperation fostered.
Your boy of ten years naturally longs for
something to do; something to employ
his time and attention, and if he is not
afforded somethingto do that is prudent,
he will fall in with the vile, for hat is
always right at hand. Give the children
enough privileges, SO that they will moi
feel that they are in bondage; but dom
