Old Towers In Ireland.

The Oldest and most noted remains of
religious architecture of Great Britain
are the round towers of Ireland, OF
which 11S are still to be seen. They
are all built near churches and monas-
teries, and in time of danger We're used
as strongholds. When bells We're intro
duced many Of them were used as bell

Weakening and ~.arousing emphasis we
who preach or instruct need to use more
frequently. The sleepiest audiences in

NECESSITY OF DRAMATIC FORCE.
You Sabbath school teachers ought to
have more of the dramatic element in
your instructions. By graphic Scripture
scene, by anecdote, by descriptive ses-
ture. by im~personation urge your classes
to right action. We want in all our
schools and colleges and prayer meet
ings, and in all our attempts at reform,
and in all our churches to have less of
the style didactic and more of the style
dramatic.

We must pause and weep over our sins.
We must pause and absorb the strength

You must look after the modulation of

LamoilIe County and the Governorship.

While the interest in the governor CUES
ton is quite lively in other parts OF the
state. 1t appears to concern the people OF
Lamoille county but little thus far; in fact
in several of the towns the question has
hardly been thought of. AS far as can be
ascertained at this time the county does
not appear to be unanimous for any can
didate. In some of the towns Col. Fuller
has active men at work for him, and as a
result in those towns Fuller stock is in
che lead, while in other towns the senti-
ment against him is strong, the demand
being for a farmer candidate. In those
towns the choice is about evenly divided
between Spear and Fletcher. Ex-Judge
Barrett's name is also favorably mention
ed. This is the situation in Lamoille
county to day, yet as the campaign adj
vances and the interest increases "Spunky
Lamoillen will wake up to the occasion
and whoever may win the nomination she
will roll up handsome majority for him
in the September election.-Morrisville

HIgh school Notes.

There was no lyceum last Monday even
ing as several OF the speakers were unable
to be present.
The members of the senior class are busy
with the essays and orations for gradna-
ton and class day. They have them well
under way.
No rhetoricals this term but instead a
series OF short talks on divers topics by
the pupils, which are very interesting.
Next Friday eve., May 9Th is the date OF
the debate between the Edmunds club and
the "Randolph Normals." II is expected
that this will be hot discussion, for the
Normals are coming with the determine
tion to win and our club will be just as
determined not to let them. The proceeds
of the entertainment do not go to winner
as they do in ''first Debates but are for
the benefit of the libraries OF the respect
i've schools. We hope the public will turn
out to encourage these young orators and
help the schools.

Gov. Page has designated the above
date as the time to be observed in plant
ing trees in the state and we hope it Will
be observed in spirit and in truth. be
well says:
The custom of appointing day IN eacn
wear as Arbor Day is growing IN popular
favor. The benefits resulting from Ine
planting of shade trees and ornamental .s
shrubs are so manifest that there Is ntlle
doubt that the day will soon be as geher-
ally observed as our time Inahks-
giving. x,.,,r,+,s

beauty constitutes no inconsiderable por-

influenced by no other than selfish mo-
tiyes. a day in spring-time devoted 10
lending helping hand in the work OF
keeping our hillsides and valleys green
and of identifying our State, would De
most profitably spent. But higher, pur-
err sentiment, patriotic desire to trans
nit to our children, improved by our Ell
forts and occupancy, the rich heritage
which we enjoy, should prompt us TO NJ
tingly observe this day. %
Therefore designate Friday, May 10
1892 as Arbor Day, and earnestly recon
mend that the day be devoted to the
planting of trees and shrubs in the pubic
parks, along our roadways, and around
our homes. / especially urge that the day
be observed by the schools throughout the
state as holiday and that the teachers
organize their schools into bands OF work
ers, that the best results may be thereby
secured.
