- "rhc Old School House,"
h .-invested themselves while
lunii.itiio tablet of memory and
dwelling among the scenes and in
cidents of the long ago:
THE OLl .S.HOOIi 3IOUSK.
In memory's eye,that dear old house
Will stand for many years.
jVnd when we think of its happy
days,
Our eyes are dim with tears.
Beneath its roof, our youthful mind
Gained much of ptecious lore
While round its yard our boyish
heart
Made many a happy score.
Its hvge blackboard, its hardened
seats
Each numbered and marked with
chalk;
Its rules, and motto, "How to the
line"
Which each of us had to walk.
Its big spelling class at close of day
Which filed around the room,
And oftentimes, lor half hour or
more,
Would make old Webster hum.
And then the play ground, with its
trees,
Where the boys played "knucks"
' and 'cat,' -
And "Bull pen"; while 'neath the
shade
The girls would have a social chat.
Ah ! Well do I remember the day,
It seems but a lew years ago,
We were all getting ready for the
final big day
And our young hearts were all
aglow.
Some were raking, some were sweep
ing, And others were clearing the
ground;
The teacher was busy overseeing the
job,
While a few were loitering around.
But it fell to our lot to lend a hand
In moving the stump of a small
tree
A little black jack, and when we got
hold
We pulled, when we counted
three.
We pulled! and my! Caesar's ghost!!
When that black jack gave way,
A stream of yellow jackets, big as
your waist
Came out to see what was to pay.
They came, they saw, they con
quered. They covered us, head and ears.
We kicked and fought, and rolled
in the leaves
Blinded by fast flowing tears.
The teacher came, with his chewing
tobacco
And applied it to each contusion.
And said, that for the life of him
He could not understand the con
fusion. But we understood, and e m't you
forget, .
For the yellow fellow puuc ired
our pneumatics
And made us feel and look- though
We had a corner on a i?t i uuia-
tics.
;
in the'
1
But those sunny days are
past,
But memory oft causes us to ve-
neW j
And gladdens our heart with tl
,
thought of old fields
That have long since passed from
view.
And though the old school house is
no more
T TYiPiTiovv -a nlp.snrft will ho
a u ii i
Till we, too, shall leave our earthly
abode
To join classmates in eternity.

Of Disfiguring Humors

Every child born into the world
with an inherited tendency to tor
turing, Jisfiguring'humors of the
Skin and Scalp, becomes an object
of the fnost tender solicitude, not
onlyAficause of its suffering, but
became of the dreadful fear that
the dsfiguration is to be lifelong
and rmr its future happiness and
prospe-ity. Hence i becomes the
duty o: mothers of such afflicted
childrei to acquiint themselves
with tht best, the purest, and most
effective treatmen: available, viz.:
the CUHCURA Treatment, con

In additaon to these large improve
ments there have been a number of

kind.
It is as gratifying, we are sure, to
the management, as it is to the
Argus, to be able to state that all
of these improvements have been
made without a dollar of special ap
propriation by the State; and the
cold storage and ice factory, involv
ing an expenditure of $3,500, has
been installed from net proceeds
from the manufacture of brick afcid
the trucking enterprise of the insti-
tution. This economic management ,
should be and we are -ure it is j
