A Card.

In as much as a misunderstood.
ing of facts as to a business trans
action with I. T.. Johnston, caused
mo to make somo statements about
him; and as all this talk grew out
of a misunderstanding, and lack ol
information on my part, l find up.
pom an examination ef Mr.. John
ston's books, and an explanation
from him, that he has not mlsre pre-.
sented one thing to me. That his
transactions throughout have been
straight and honorable, and if one
word have uttured has been inju.
rious to him or his business interests
if l have influenced one person
against him, l beg that this, my
acknowledgement, will right that
wrong.

Raading and Writing in tho Public

Reading and writing being the two
fundamentals Of education, end the
principal medium through which a!l
knowledge is acquired or communicated,
great stress should he lai | on their
thorough ac4 n~isition as the foundation
81 all subsequent culture. The child
who has learned to read and write we'll,
has secured the two keys to the thesau-
rus OF learning. Without these keys
he will grope in darkness through its
corridors and chaMlbcrS, or never even
enter its sacred walls. But the first
key only opens the portals to the vesti-
buie, while the latter throws open the
doors of the offices and chambers.
where are placed the tclegraphic appa-
ratuS which communicates with the
world, and which receives in exchange
all the worlds busy and tceming trans
actions and thoughts. The importance,
