A i-eader sends us the follow ing anecdote, says the Youth’s Gompanion, -wirich is certainly more characteristic of' okl-timu teachers than creditable to them. The practice of a deception like this, while it might serve to de tect a jutpil who was really guil- t\', w ould be very unjiiBt towards oi,ie who was i'alsely accused, and, in the case of teachers as well as of scholars, open ami .fair dealing is a better way.

Whatever men may have said of him politiciilly, no respon sible man ever called his uuflincli ing integrity in question.” “TIis personal intogi'ity always gave his personal policy weight, and thousands relied upon him with out giving questions much inves tigation, knowing his personal in corruptibility.” This is high praise, coming as it does, from a i)itter political enemy, and is the more remarkable because of the glaring contrast it presents in re gard to many in h.igh places in these degenerate days. “I had rather be right than to be Presi dent,” said one whose memory is revered by all; but to be Presi dent and to be right, too, in these latter days, exhibits the acme of human greatness. thus tells what southern girls; , You can tell a southern gifl at once. She is rounder than Tier nortlievn 'sisters, indeed she is never tliih or lank; she walks with a, languid step, and all her movements are slow and indo lent ; she is never alert. She has fine soft eyes with a serene ex pression, very different from the quick, keen eyes of the north; she has not the beautiful red and white complexion of Now York and New England, rather is she sallow, with a few rose tints; vou might call her cream color. She never looks anxious, no mat ter wliat happens; she does- not think she can help matters by her advice; or interference, but sits back calm!)' and leaves every thing for “brother” or “pa,” pro nouncing the latter word in a way I defy a northern girl to imitate. The word might be ii.sed as a shibboleth ; it is not exactly “pay,” but half way between that and the sound of “a” in “cat.” Our southern girl dresses picturesquely ratherthaiitriml)', andhas brighter colors and more floating ends axd curls about her tliau a northern belle allows. She has pretty plump hands, but she is not par ticular about the gloves that cover them —I mean particular com pared with Fifth avenue rules. Ill sliort, she isamore voluminous sort of a girl in every way, and cares leSs about “the fashion.” She has one decided advantage over the northern, girls, however, and this is her voice; it is sweeter and lower, a little tminante, per haps, but especially gentle and woiiiaiily.- “What.a dull, life ..yours is!”' said 11 racer to a mill horse. “ihilTenoug'h,”. said the mill lior.so. . . . ,.j, . , “You must.'feel uupommonly stupid!” , - “Stuiiid enough,”.,sai(l the mill liorso: . “Round and round—rountl and round,, and.: that (lay.sifter dayl No wonder; your head liaiigs down—why, yop’re just a piece of machinery, and no bettor.” The mill horse didn’t answer, but continued going ' his round ; but the racer, who vviis tethered near,. rojicated lii.siremarks every time he came ■witliin hearing. “I’m afraid I’ve offended j'ou,” said the racer-. “Oh I no,” answered the mill horse; “but my quiet life has ItesoliltiosBS ul' tile Orailil L.o*l;^v.

I speak.” “And have )'ou been tliiiiking while I have been talking 1” “Ye,s,” answered the mill horse ; “and I’ll tell you wliat I’ve been thinking—you’re a very fine fel low, and I’m cinitempliblo in your sight; but I know wliicli of us would be the most missed. Depend on this, if I and my breed wore .to take our departure, and no other substilutos could bo found, folk,s' would do without racing, and take you and your breed into our places.” It takes' a woman to repulse a tvavelling agent sometimes. In a neighboring village ho other day, a man called on Mr. G, at his place of business, and wanted to sell him a parlor organ.. Mr. C. not wishing to bu)q to get rid of him, referred him to his wife. On the man’s making his business known to the lady, she a.sked him if Mr. C. sent him to her. “A’os' ma’am,’! Im replied, “Well, sir,” said Mrs. C., “you- just go back and tell him that until he can furnish me with something besides mackerel to eat, 1 can make all the music tliat is neces sary, around tlii.s liouso.” The agent concluded that ho couldn’t sell ail organ there. In many of our public schools, says a writer on the education of children, too much is expected of the chihli'en. In any system of education, it is advisable to aim first at what is positively useful, and leave the ornamental to come afterward. 'What all children need is to read write and cipher with facility.—Those bran ches of learning cannot be dis pensed with in a country where intcllig-ence rules. And these branches must be learned well, not superficial!)'. After that, all the literary ombellishmonts, they may have time or taste to acquire, but never sacrifice for mere embellislimlints the more vital knowledge that a busy life requires. the support of the institution ; but will not assume any additional pecuniary lospoiisibilty. 3, That this Grand Lodge elect a Superintendent wlffitihall control the institution and .solicit con tributions f(,(r ,its support fi-fiin' all classes of our pijo,pie.' , , , , 4.
