things he said: The human mind was

much more damage must be done when
the human mind goes astray ?''
He gave Alexander the Great and Ma

minds which had been misguided and
caused untold damage. One destroyed
his mind by strong drink and passion,
the other was carried away by his ambi

should seek honor, wealth and enjoy meni

sought nothing but one of these, was a

A SPECIAL OFFER TO PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

We want to increase the circulation
of the MONITOR REGISTER and place
it in every family in Salem and Glou'
cester counties. 1t has shown q
steady increase since we assumed the
management of its affairs, but we want
to add 1000 names to our subscrlp-
ton list in the next ninety days, and
in order to do this we make the fol-
lowing proposition to the public
schools of Salem and Gloucester
counties:
We will present to each public
school in tine two counties $40 for the
benefit of their school library, if the
teacher and scholars of said school
will send us club of fifty subscribers
to the MONITOR REGISTER at 81 a
year, this to include a years sub
scription to the Farm Journal and a
beautiful picture of George Washing
ton, that ought to be framed and hung
in every school house. The money
must, in every case, accompany the
name of the subscriber, and schools
entering the contest, if they are una
bic TO obtain the full number, will be
paid pro rata amount for the number
of subscribers sent.
Here is an opportunity for every
district to aid their school and at the
same time receive full equivalent for
their money. The two papers are
more than worth the money, and we
are contemplating some improvements
in the MONITOR REGISTER that will
still farther enhance Its value to our
readers. 1896 will be a stirring year,
and no family ought to be without a
good local paper.
