THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING AT SCHOOL
ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE SESSION.

One of the many evils and annoyances
of school teachers is the reluctance of
their pupils to return to school and study
after holidays. Boys and girls are always
ready and anxious for holidays, and their
minds never seem to be troubled with
any apprehension as to the possibility of
being unable to pass the time while they
last. The boy will hunt rabbits, 60 fish
ing, loaf the streets and read five. cent
1oyels with an amount Of contentment
and resignation worthy of the Profound
est philosopher, but, at the very mention
Of returning to books ond study, he turns
sick. and it is as difficult to get him 10
return to school as it would be to break
an unframed colt to harness. And as to
the girls-well. I do not know much

Burdette'S Sermon,

Here is Burdette's little sermon on the
comparative chances of the poor and
rich: my son, the poor man takes
about all the chances without waiting to
have one given to him. If you give
him any more chances than he takes, he
will soon own everything and run the
Ohio man out of the country. The fact
is we must curtail the poor mans
chances little. We must sit down on
him and hold him down, and give the
rich man a chance. The poor man has
had things his own way too long. He
has crowded the rich man out. But for
the poor maa this world would have cast
anchor six thousand years ago and be
covered with moss and barnacles to day
like q United States man .of-war.
George Peabody was boy in q grocery;
Edgar Allen Poe was the son of strolling
players; John Adams vas the son of
farmer; Benjamin franklin, the printer,
was the son of tallow caudler; Clifford,
the first editor of the Quarterly Review,
was common sailor; Ben Johnson was
a brick layer; the father of Shakespeare
couldn't spell and couldn't write his
own name-neither can you; even his
illustrious son couldn't spell it twice
alike Robert Burns was child of pov.
erty, the eldest of seven children, the
family of q poor bankrupt; John Milton
was the son of scrivener; Andrew
Jackson was the son of poor Irishman
Andrew Johnson was tailor Garfield
was boy of all work, too poor even to
have regular trade; Grant was q tan
ner; Lincoln keel boatman and COM
mon farm hand; and the Prince of
Wales is the son of a Queen. 1t is his
misfortune, not his fault; he couldn't
help it, and he can't help it now. But
you see, my dear boy, that's all there is
of him; he's just the Prince of Wales,
and he's only that because he can't help
it. Be thankful, my son, that you
weren't born Prince; be glad that you
didn't strike twelve the first time. If
there is patch on your kneo and your
elbows are glossy, there is some hope for
you, but never again let me hear you say
that the poor man has no chance he
deserves to have none, but the poor man
monopolizes about all the chances there
are. Put Laban and Jacob in business
together anywhere, and in about fourteen
years Jacob will not only own about
four ffths of the cattle, but he will have
married about one-half of his partners
family. Go to, my son; let US give the
rich man chance"

MY Wife /!

My wife has been great sufferer from
Catarrh. Several physicians and various
patert medicines we're rcsorted to, yet the
disease continued unabatcd, nothing ap.
pearing to make any impression upon it.
Her constitution finally became implicated,
the poison being in her blood.
I secured bottle of B. B. B. and placed
her upon its use, and to our surprise the
improvement began at once, and her recov-
cry was rapid and complete. No other
preparation ever produced such q wonder
ful change, and for all forms of Blood Dis
ease cheerfully recommend 3. B. B. as a
superior Blood Purifier.

= An Englisman tells how a person
in his country once made clear even to

treading the straight and narrow path as
contrasted with the descent on the wide
highway leading in the other direction.

discourse he ran down the pulpit stair
and proceeded to suit the action to the
word. "My BRETHREN" he cried, "tho
road to Heaven is like this" and lying
fiat on the banister he began to pull
himself up, hand over hand, as
laboriously as boy climbs creased
pole. At last he reached the top and got
on his feet again, happy in his Christian
victory. Then having taken breath,
he exhorted his hearers to look at the
road to He'll, doubled one leg under him
and slid down the rail, in half sitting
posture, with rapidity and grace
that betrayed q juvenile familiarity with
this route.

walkod about fifteen miles fishing and
hunting Without any pain, and before

think that six bottles have done me more
good than Hot Springs, eighteen months in

that it is wonderful blood medicine. 1t

attention has been called to the poem
in the June number of the Century, in
which the writer referring to an article
on Barbara Frietchie, says The story
will perhaps live, as Mr.. Whittier has
boasted, until it gets beyond the reach
correction Those who know me will
bear witness that am not in the habit
of boasting of anything whatever, least
Of all, of congratulating myself upon
a doubtful statement outliving the
possibility of correction. I certainly
made no boast Of the kind imputed to
me. The poem Of Barbara Frietchie
was written in good faith. The story
was no invention of mine. It came to
me from sources which I regarded as
entirely reliable ; it had been published
in newspapers, and had gained public
credence in Washington and Maryland
before my poem was written. I had
no reason to doubt its accuracy then,
and I am still constrained to believe
and it had foundation in fact. If
thought otherwise 1 should not hesi-

THERE are grand stories, and truth
full ones, to be told of the. fertility of
soil and salubrity of climate of almost
any section, but as there is always a
reverse sideto every picture so is there
dark side to the brightest prospectus
that can be written Of any new
town or community. This may be
read with profit by all who contem-
plate changing their abode from this
to any other section. Things being
equal, one man has as good chance
to succeed in new field as another /;
and he must also take the same risks of
failure. Bonanzas do not grow on
every bush in the western country any
more than they can be found in the
highways and byways of this eastern
land. A good plan to go on would be to
discount about fifty per cent. the
stories of those who have succeeded as
well as the stories of sthose who have
made failures.
