Man is slow to learn when "a sacrifice

truism, but no where does il apply witt
more force of truth than in the sociaI

ordinary significance of the term, is one
of the noblest offsprings of civilization
but is the most abused Of all human cir.

We have learned from experience and
observation, that It is better to kill an
organization or institution, than to let
it die natural death. If any thing ID
of recognized value to community il
has a right to live, but whether it can
live or not is the question.
Many things that are considered valu.
able may not be looked upon as necessa.
ry. We all recognize the fact that there
can be such thing as over-production
OF the majority of things valuable in
their nature and use. We therefore ad.
dress ourselves to the parents of Hills.
boro to learn whether or not the subject
under consideration is worthy to live
You, and you alone can answer.
There is department in the Hillsborc
Female College, designated the Primary
Department" designed for children Of
any and all grades below Preparatory
Course. We cannot expect patronage
in this department outside OF Hillsborc
and immediate vicinity. A teacher has
to be employed exclusively for thil
grade, and there are besides, other nee.
essary expenses connected Herewith. Il
this department is of any value to you
as parents, it is Of sufficient value to be
made self.supporting and If this can no,
be done, we shall deem it sufficient evi
dence that you do not care to have II
perpetuated. If this is your mind, it will
not be continued after this year. You
have two terms in which to make your
wishes known, and we shall govern our
selves accordingly. Some one may say
Why don't you let the other depart
ments help out in the expense Of this
The other departments have all they car
do at present to help themselves. We
expect to be able after two or three year.
to draw students from q distance. Il
this cannot be done, it requires neithe,
prophet nor seer to predict the destiny
of this college. 1t has right to live.
1t ought to live, and we believe it can
live ii the people in this community whe
will receive the greatest benefit from 1t
will give US their aid by patronage tc
help the institution over the shoals.
In order to bring the expense within
the ability of all, tuition will be reduced
in the primary department from one dol
lar per week to seventy.cents per week
without any incidental fee.
In conclusion we beg leave to offer a
suggestion. Would it not be wise ex,
penditure of money for persons having
no children OF their own to send, and a,
abundantly able to educate worthy
young lady who is desirous of an educa.
tion, but is financially unable to give i,
to herself?

The Old Mans Christmas Reverie

The Old Mans Christmas Reverie.
IT'S Christmas eve (; the shadows fall;
The sun is sinking in the West
And quiet reigneth over all
Upon this eve 80 hallow'd-blest.
How sweetly peaceful ell things seem!
And % the evening light grows low,
sit before the fire and dream
OF Christmas ewes Of long ago.
There was Q springtime in my life,
When hope was strong and friendship true
The chords have snapped. The cruel knife
OF sorrow cut them through and through
How sweet those chimes hear them yet
And with the deep midwinter SNOW,
Their echo comes. I'll ns'er forget
The Christmas bells Of long ago.
Why. then, should not my tesrs down fall,
Since happiness stranger vsits ssi
To greet me II il grests st Al
Beyond deaths dark and gloomy gates?
Bat till the fates ct Last decree
That must lie beneath the snow
This day will memories bring to me
OF Christmas times Of long ago.
