pray, sing aud read the lesson to
empty benches. Teachers and pn-
pills should therefore govern them
selves accordingly. Promptness
is one Of the chiefest among vir-
tues. and whoever is ohservaGt

forget to rise or set one minute be-

drive astronomers and the majority
of mankind half crazy, and millions
would begin to call on the mount

is the handspring TO success in
life; therefore be punctual in all
things, particularly in sqaarlng up
