My Early Education.

Ed. CITIZEN: Please give me space
in your paper TO give a short history of
my advantages Of 60 or 50 years ago.
My first education was obtained in log
cabin abOut lG feet square covered with
clapboards. with wooden fire place in
one end that would take in q log bout
feet long with ilag-stoues set at back
wall and iambs 20 prevent the wood work
from taking fire. and seated in the fol-
lowing manner benches constructed
out of small logs hewed on one side,
with feet or legs in them as you would
put in a meat bench without any sup
port for the back; our writing desks
were two pins in the wall with a rude
board laid or pinned on them, our writ
ing uteu,ll WAS a gUOscqUll pen. our
iukhoru was q about three inches off a
cJw.s q horn, with n string on cord in the
large end and suspended 10 Il nail in
the wall We were supplied with
light by two logs being sawed half
through, and q jugglc split out and
sticks set in To- initiate sash, and paper
pasted or tackled on and creased to make
it Transparent which afforded pretty
good light. and we mad 10 travel a mile
and half or two miles 20 get 10 this
place of learning, through a dense for
est along q path in the woods probably
in our bare feet among the snakes
which were very plenty in that conmu-
nifty in That lay The largest black
snake | ever saw and probably ever
seen By anybody in that community
came into our academy one day and rs
serted his snakeship among the child
rep, but happily there was young Amer
lea enough there with the assistance of
our old teacher TO cause mister snake 10
lose his life. This academy was locat-
I'd on the farm known as the John Nor
row farm, about three or three and a
half miles from olo Concord church
spoken of in my last article
The people of that day are all dead
but few and so il viii soon be with
me and you. Take thought young
folks, time is but short race that is
running a terrible pace But at the end
what will there be but vast eternity

ATTENTION, TEACHERS.

In this issue will be found a very
valuable and interesting article on
Punctuation" that deserves
careful reading and should DO pre-
served by teachers and pupils. The
article is a continuation of the
sketches that have been written
specially for The ARGUS by noted
writer who is well known by repu-
tation to many Of our people, and
specially the teachers. Some time
ago, when we began publishing
them, we offered set of Reed g.
Kellogg Grammars to the teacher
sending IN the first correct guess as
to the identity of the aathor Of
these sketches. We then advised
all parties to wait awhile before
sending in guesses, as we can only
allow one guess to each person.
and a careful perusal OF the articles
might lead to cIew as to the
author. We have now published
quite q number Of the oohtribu-
lions, and we are ready 10 receive
guesses. Remember, the first cor
rect guess gets the books, so send
~ ~ once and the guess will be
carefully dled and ablishcd after
while.
