A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Excellent Qualities Of the Late
James Dwyer, School
Principal.
Resolutions Adopted by the Teachers
of the Horace Mann
School.

At meeting of the teachers of the
Horace Mann Evening School, held last
evening, the following resolutions were
adopted:
WHEREAS, The mystic summons OF death has
suddenly called from us and from his sphere
of active usefulness our honored and esteemed
associate and director, James Dwyer; and
whereas, it seems but fitting that we, so re-
Gently his collaborators, should express in
some public way our recognition of the loss
sustained by the teaching, probes ssion to which
he had devoted so much OF MS active life, ana
particularly by this school, with whi ch he has
been identified since its organization, in the
untimely closing of career that had given
promise of years of devoted and efficient work
in the full maturity OF power, therefore, be 1t
Resolued, That it is the sense of the academic
staff of the Horace Mann Evening School that
in the loss of its principal the school has lost
the services of one whose high sense OF duty
impelled every effort of a mind ripened and
broadened by native talent ana extended ex-
perience to its Advancement and success; that
every member of the school has lost wise di-
rector and prudent counselor, thoroughly i'm
bued with personality that made itself felt
in the most casual intercourse with the
humblest pupil, yet balanced by an imperson-
ality that could always look above and beyond
the individual. to the moral and intellectual
elevation of the whole; that every teacher has
lost warm-hearted personal friend, whose
rare and admirable qualities won the respect
and esteem of his professional associates, as
his unassuming character and genial frank
ness commanded their affectionate regard.
RESOLVED, That while we may not intrude on
the sacred privacy of the family circle where
vacancy has been left that can never be filed;
while no words of ours can avail to assuage the
pangs of irreparable loss, we still feel that we
may ask the family of our departed associate,
director and friend to accept this tender of our
heartfelt sympathy in their deep affliction.
and this expression, though imperfect, of our
sense of the bereavement that they have sus-
tanned by the sudden call that has taken from
them the husband and father whom they
mourn. C. H. CRowELL,

An Ireland IdiOm.

The following paragraph OF Ire
and Ideas, by "Fidus-et-audax,
was unavoidably crowded out OF the
COURIER" last week.
1t is rumored-
That the girls and old maids OF
Ireland are going to try a new plan
to catch fellow, which think will
work to perfection. The following
poem will explain the beginning and
the ending of the plan.
In town were many old maids
Who loved the men true,
They were getting up in years
They didn't know what to do
They got them nice bicycle
One fine summer day,
Put on pair of blommers
And gaily rode away.
Some handsome young fellows
i Came within their scope,
They took them by the collars,
And made them elope.
When the girls saw the maids
Catching on SO quick,
They went and got some bloomers
J And played the same trek.
The Young men left behind them
Made an awful noise,
!, But. long came some other girls
And captured all the boys
