In the ease of tho Grant Parish prisoners

of religious woraliipas essential

an attendant at church worship, And usu

will bo noticed, also, thut he did not in

In tho case of tho Wostorn Railroad
Oompnny vs. Richard Young, adm'r, from
Muscogee (decided adversely to the com

oided, on Tuesday, that “if tho oonduotor

a station or regular stopping place, it

A Nlw Yore afternoon paper having

replies “To all those who ever had a
personal acquaintance with Mr. Fillmore,
the accusation of cowardice is as foreign
to his character as anything that can be
imagined. No man of greater moral
firmneas, or a more inflexible adherence
to hie senso of public duty, has takeu a

Horace Greeley,and she relatos inja fresh,

Chappaqua. Miss Cleveland does not at
tempt a biography, but rather relates

“Woman, Ixjvo and Marriage" (by
Frederick Maunders) is a very roadublo
book. Mr. Haundera wrote some time
since “ Salads for the Solitary," and in
that established his reputatiou as one of
tho most graceful and aoconipliHlicd wri
ters of our language. Tliuckorny says :
“It is best to love wisely, hut to love fool
ishly is better than not to be ublo to lovu
St all." Every old bachelor in the land —
and we have a snore of the most confirm

“Groat Houth”—tho subject being Vir

Miss Ready writes ou “The Physical Hab

Mrs. Davis concludes her serial, and n

to pay fall postago on your letter, and
were equally thoughtless in not inclosing

writor would not have been so careless.
John U. Jt.—Yes ; you can learn book
keeping in a commercial school, hut if
you are doing reasonably well on your
farm, as you say, wo would not advise you
to give it up. The certainty of success
on a well worked farm is better than tho
chance of position for a book-keeper. Do
not bo ashamed of your hard hands aud
bronzed face, but keep on doing tho work
you are best acquainted with and you will
win.

i conscious water khw ItsOodand blushed. ’
This, however, wo think is but u para
phrase of Crashaw’s Latin verso :
“ Nymphs pudlca Jiourn vldll et orubult."
Mary.—Wo do not know of any calling
more useful or honorablo than that of
school teacher. It should he ranked as a
profession. Tho reason wo have so many
inferior teachers iH that tho lady teachers
look forward to a change of life when
they marry, and male teachers are usually
preparing for some other profession.
Mathematician.—You can become a
fair practical engineer without a knowl
edge of the higher mathematics : but you
must begin with a chain and work up.
Wo are sure, howover, that you would
learn quicker and succeed better by a
careful study of those branches of mathe
matics that aro absolutely essential to

Again aud again wo have called upon

is due more to a want of plan than a lack of

aud we are sure all are—will please to at
