WHIFFED AwAY.-A family re-
siding in the second ward have in
their possession a box which they
brought with them from New IIamp
shire to this city, some thirty-eight
years ago. 1t has been used as to.
bacco box during these many years,
and into it has been placed on an
average two pounds of tobacco per
week, making a total of 3 1852 pounds.
Allowing 1910 pipes of tobacco to the
pound, which is a fair estimate, we
find that the family have consumed
pipe-fulls of tobacco, and
used 5000 pipes during that time.
Allowing that the tobacco COS an
average of 40 cents per poulfd, and
three for 5 cents, we find that the
contents of that box has cost the
family $l,58O.8O for tobocco, and
$l38.l7 for pipes, making grand
total of $l,7l8.o7, saying nothing
about the matches consumed in
lighting that tobacco -Janescitle
Recorder.

OuR schools will never be "free
schools in the strict sense of the
words, till the poorest children can
attend without incurrinQ what is
frequently a burdensome expense.
Too often parents keep children from
school because the cost Of full sets
Of text books is greater than they
are able or willing to afford, aud too
often children, temporarily out Of
employment, follow the streets
rather than buy books Aside from
this reason, which ought, in this
country, TO be sufficient, other argu
ments for the free book system are
that it saves money and time, and
teaches children to be careful Of
their books. II saves money, be-
cause the school officers can buy at
wholesale rates. and because the
same books can be used by success
sive classes. It saves time, because
books can be supplied to scholars
the day they enter school, and every
teacher knows that much time IS
squaudered waiting for local dealers
aud for lazy, careless, stingy and i'm.
peeuuious parents. 1t teaches child
rem To be careful of their books, be-
cause the teacher is directly respon-
sible for the proper care of the
books given out by her to the classes,
and books destroyed or carelessly
used must be replaced or made good
by her, or by the scholars who are
responsible.-Be Bearer Dan ArgHS.
The principle might be still fur
ther extended by providing that the
state shall board ana clothe the
school children. BY purchasing
food and raiment at wholesale rates
large saving could be made and
many impecunious and stingy par
ents, who now keep their children
out Of school in order that they may
h.lp earn their subsistence, would be

ENyY.-Although this world is a
pretty good one, and the people, gen
orally, allow their neighbors TO at
tend to their own affairs in their own
way, yet it must be confessed that
every community contains some in
diyiduals who, having no enterprise
nor ambition Of their own, except it
be of the lowest and most revolving
kind, continually watch the actions
of their neighbors and Judge them
by the distorted light of their own
guilty souls. individuals of this
class are to be pitied. Not one
spark of public spirit, not a ray of
generosity, not a single thought of
the welfare and good cheer OF their
neighbors ever emanates from their
darkened and clouded minds. they
grope around in the meager light
afforded by their perverted spirits
for some meap, low motive to attach
to the actions Of their neighbors,
and when they have found one suf-
ficiently low to accord with their
vile natures, they proceed to give it
voice among people of their own
class. The mischief these remarks
do, or the misery they may cause
those who are the subject of them,
never for an instant comes to their
minds, or, if it does come, tits light
ly tossed aside as something un-
