still it is to be preferred to the era Of
the hired man. 80, 1870
The friedman period was one in
which there was an epidemic all over
the country, and more especially in the
farming regions, of a subtle disease
which proved very fatal to husbands
that is to, say, itlloses husbands who
were possessed of a good hooking. wife,
and who hadsengaged a'hired man to
assist themin doing their work. Dur

Manual oexterity.


1t is well known that in its develop
ment each now born being passes
sthrough very much the same stages
that his ancestors have been through
before him. Even after birth the growth
of the child's intelligence Stimulates tho
progress of The human race from the
savage conditioa - of civilization.
Z IL hasubeehsshe@n by Preyer, and 9TH
ers who have studied infant develop
ment, that "a faculty which has been
acquired by the race at a late stage, is
late in making its appearance in the
child. Now, reading and writing are
arts of comparatively recent achieve
nent. Savage man could reap and
sow, and weave, and build houses, long
before he could communicate his
thoughts to a person at a distance by
means of written speech. There is,
then, reason. TO believe that a child !
general intelligence would be best
trained by making him skillful in many
kinds of manual labor before beginning
to torture him with letters; and the
moral to DO derived is, that primary
instruction should be instruction in
manual dexterity, and thatreading and
writing could be learned with. pleasure
and with ease by a child who Had been
fitted for taking them up by the right
kind of preparation. Science.

One OF the most important questions that
can engage your attention 10 the law regu-
lating the adoption of text. books in our
common schools. The question has assum-
ed such proportions as to vitslly interest
every patron of the public schools. 1t is
now an economic question in every
household. Our present laws were framed
With the purpose Of avoiding the very evil
which they have made possible. The con-
test cetween the various publishing houses
for supremacy in fecuring the adoption of
their respective books, have, in msay in
instances been both disyraceful and expen-
srve to the participants. To avoid re-

l loved you fondly, madly. too,
How wildly can never tel,
Since | can never come to woo.
I vowed that would make you mine,
vowed that your love would win,
But now no longer do / pine,
only think what might have been.
Your sylph-like form, your lovely face,
With passion filed my wounded heart
Made captive by your airy grace
But now, alas we two must part!
For you and l can never mate,
My passion all has died away,
Since by a hard, relentless fate,
l saw you eat Thanksgiving Day.
