HER ONLY FAULT.

As I went to my bachelor chamber one night
And reflected on life as I put out the light
[ resolved that the clubs I would visit no more.
But devote my affections to dear 1sadore.
She is f~aultless in figure and lovely in face,
Every movement the very perfection Of grace
So confiding and gentle, congenial and sweet
That the stoics and cynics are all at her feet.
Like the wings of the humming bird over the
keys
Fly her tarer1ng fingers in LISTS potpourris;
She excels on the harp and the Spanish guitar
And her voice is soprano that reaches to f..
She is witty and brilliant in quick repartees,
And she sings cavatinas with marvellous E's,
Conversation in German and French can sc5
tain,
And has travelled in Italy, Egypt and En-.
All the tender emotions so secuted before
We're aroused in my heart for the fair Isadore,
But my growing affections are nipr.l Ia the
bud,
For she will drag her skirts through the street:
in the mud!

sometimes watched her intently at
work he wondered which would get the
most water, the plants O her W. little
feet.
The princess was an early riser, get
ting up at Z, frequently earlier III the
summer, and breakfasting at s O'Clock.
Her breakfast was just such as any
we'll cared for little girl who was not
a princess might be expected to enjoy,
bread and milk and fruit, placed on a
small table by her mothers side.
When breakfast was finished, the lit
tie princess went for a walk or q drive,
while her half sister, Feodore, her al.
most constant companion, studied with
her governess. From 10 to - the ducb-
ess instructed 'Drina, after which she
was at liberty to wander at will through
the rooms, OF to play with her many
costly toys.
Two O'Clock was the dinner hour OF
the princess, though the luncheon hour
of the duchess. Plain food, nicely
cooked, was placed before the little
girl, and she did it justice, for she was
healthy and strong and enjoyed her
meals. After dinner she received assist
ance in her studies till 4 O'Clock, when
she was taken by her mother to visit a
friend or perhaps to walk or drive. OF
she was permitted to ride a donkey in
the gardens.
At the dinner hour Of the duchess
her little girl supped, seated next te
her mother. Then came a romp with
her nurse, Mrs. Brock. By the time the
romp was finished the house party
would be at their dessert, and then thu
princess would be called in to join
them.
Nine O'Clock was bedtime, and sht
never prolonged her day beyond thai
hour. No matter whether she was al
| home or at the house of a friend, %!
O'Clock bedtime was rigidly enforced.
Her little bed was placed beside he,
mothers larger bed, so that by day ant
night mother and daughter were neve.
far apart.
Regular study, regular exercise, sim
pie food and plenty Of time out o
doors, plenty Of play and plenty ct slee]
distinguished the upbringing Of Eng

Normal Closed

Friday night, with one of
the most interesting pro-
grams ever rendered in

on his part. He gave to
the work his best thought
and energy. AdGed to this
was the hearty responses of
our county examiner, D. D.
Spurlock, and more than
seventy teachers, it could
not be otherwise than a sue
cess.
We have been at some
pains to arrive at 4 proper
conclusion as to the proprie-
ty Of the state making an
appropriation for the sup
port of these normals, and
now we can say that the ten
thousand dollars could not
be more advantageously sly
spent for the interest of the
public schools of our state.
There has been 5000 teach
erS in attendance, and to
give them one months in.
by the very best
instructors in tn G state only
costs 81. 20 for each teacher.
This is a small sum when
compared to the great good
the state will reap.
The objections we heard
against this appropri-
alton is that it is class leg
islation and that if the state
appropriation to ed
ucate teachers it should also
do the same for the farmers.
We admit that if favors
class legislation, but in the
language of Hon. S. H.
Davidson it is a mighty
good kind Of class legisla-
ton" II we object to this
act of this legislature for
this reason, consistency will
compel us to also object to
the appropriations for the
state charitable institutions
and those made for the sup
port Of the State Universe
ty.
As to the state educating
farmers the same reason
docs not exist. If the farm
er makes a mistake in ap-
plying his knowledge in the
management of his farm he
has but to 60 to work and
correct that mistake. If
the teacher makes mistakes
in the management OF his
schools IN the training or
the young minds and i'm
pressions upon their hearts,
the innocent child suffers,
the community and the state
suffers, and the mistake will
reap its reward in the fail
ure iu the life Of the indi-
vidual to fulfill that work
for which God intended
it.
