OLD TIME SCHOOL.

One OF our congressman in his
the noble Daniel Webster. He eX-
claimed the grandest piece of work
of his life, was the making of the
Webster spelling book member,
sitting near, whispered to him, You
are wrong, it was Noah Webster that
made the book.
He replied, 1T was no such a thing.
Noah made the Ark" In my school
days many boys and girls got their
education out of the old blue back
spelling book. When you mastered
this book, you were a fair reader and
speller. We had no graded school
houses, only log wall buildings, with
wide fire place, few window shut
ters for light, no glass ash
| The seats were pine slab benches,
with no backs to them. The little
tots, when sitting on the benches,
would have their feet swinging above
the floor. The teacher sat on a high
chair, where he could look over the
room BY his side was a lot of keen
switches, which he freely used on his
pupils In cold weather you had to
get permission to go up to the fire to
warm. If you went out, you had to
ask for leave Of absence. Some of
the teachers had board at the door,
marked one side out, on the other
side "in'. Every one in passing was

had to make your bow to the teacher

scholars, sometimes they would mum.

red, blue and black ink to make his

would get chinquepin or maple bark

their own ink.

With very sad heart, write to say,
That big "Black Lady" has passed
away.
BY day or night, through rain or shine,
She was always faithful, gentle and
kind.
For twenty years in summers heat or
winters wind,
She stood by me through thick and
thin.
Always ready at the moments call
To attend to duty whether great or
small
Without rebelling and without com
plant
She did her work like faithful saint
Her coat was as black as the blackest
crow
But her heart was as white as the
driven snow.
And through rain and shine. whether
hot or cold,
She visited the sick, faithfully and
bold.
She was admired by many and loved
by me,
Almost as one of the family.

the erection Of buildings and other
productive capital. But the system as
explained by the Judge is basic and
fundamental and goes to the very root
of most of the social. financial and in
dustrial evils Of the present time. and
in it's highest development would be
the most effective remedy for the
troubles between capital and labor,
