Will home practical teacher give
tis n method by which pupils may be
come good spollets? \Ve till use. Web
ster's blue-hacked spelling books, but
is the child any beller speller n'ttoi
having completed this study than be
fore? We bland up before an array
of open mouths two or three limes
daily, at.d give Out long columns of
words, short or long, according to Hie
capacity or ago cd' the mouths, but is
the pupil any wisei ? This is a tcdi-j
pus process, and it seems its age en-!
titles it to use, but wc are no Hille J
clisgusled with it oursclf. Our idea 1
so that a child sliould be iLntlc to1
?pell what it rends. Besides Giuj
words usitully found at the c,ose of i
every reading e xercise, let tlio sehol
nr speli every unusual word in the
lc??on, Don't let trolling be consul,
creu a separate study. Spell words i
iu j-our geography, grammar, history j
philosophy, or whatever it in <y he. j
Moat of our little fid lows can rattle
?tf "p-u-b-l-i-c-u-t-i-o n," "eon-cut e-;
nn-tion" und the like with the pcrlness I
of parrots. These words have no
uiore meaning to these children than
to much Hebrew or Chinese. Then,!
we'want to kuowy why spend lime in J
vain icpclionsr Why memorize :i ,
tet Of huge words the lad will : ever;
Use? It seems to us the part of reason [
that tbe pupil's vocabulary should be
enlarged gradually by dealing with
those words which arise in his daily
studies. Again, another excellent,'
plan is lo put them to writing woids
iiB si on us their advancement war
rants it. U?o the slate freely and
frequently. Make them write out
words in their lessons. How ridicu
lous does the spelling even of some
good talkers appear when their
thoughts are put oil paper ! There
fore, let the boy or girl use his slate
as often as he pleases. They not on
ly learn spelling, this way, but gram
inur, punctuation, the use of capitals
und oilier good things. Bacon never
littered a truer thought than when he
suid : '?Conversation luakes a ready
man ; reading, a full man ; but writing
an cxr-cl man." Train the pupil to]
look closely, and our word for it, the
Lumber of good spellers will be con
bideiably incieased. Kolbing so mars
the composition of a ladj or gentleman
na bad spelling. Then; we urge upon
our teachers I he necessity of stringent
exertions towards making good spell
crs out of their pupils.

The great drawback to the success
nf our common schools especially inj
he country is the want of uniform
ity iu text books. A pupil is often
put to studying,some branch by one
tea?hdr, when his successor deems
him Iii?lit for it and he does not take
it up, but makes ti substitute, thus
incurring an additional expense upon
tbe parent. Thus n great deal of
time is uselessly wasted. You will
very often find in some of oir country
districts several different Uxt-books
on the same branch in use in the same
school.- This is certainly very annoy- j
fug to the Wache:-, and he should set
to work immediately uj on ins assum
ing control of the school to establish
A curriculum lor his school., and let
the Bouid of Trustees make it obliga
tory ui on every teacher to follow said
Curriculum. It's the only way to
build up first-da-is high schools.

Ague Cure
Is n purely vegetable bitter and powerful
tonic, and is warranted a speedy ami cer
tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill
Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Hi'ious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In niia-sinatie dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue,
thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in
the hack and loins, and coldness of tho
Biiine and extremities, are only premoni
tions of severer symptoms which termin
ate in tho agua paroxysm, succeeded by
high fever and profuse perspiration.
It !s a startling fact, that quinine, ar
senic, and other poisonous minerals form
tho basis of most of the " Fever and Agun
Preparations," "Specifics," "Syrups,"
and "Tonics," in tho market. The prep
arations made from these mineral poisons,
although they aro palatable, and may
break the chill, do not cure, but leave tho
malarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in tho ears, headache, vertigo, ami
other disorders more formidable than
tho diseaso they wero intended to cure.
Avtsn's Ar.rr. CCRK thoroughly eradicates
those noxious poisons from tho system,
and always cures the severest cases. It
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and ita crowning excellence, above
Its certainty to cure, is that it leaves tho
Byatetn a-s free from disease as before tho
attack.
For Liver Complaints, AVER'S AOUK
Cl'UK, hy direct action on the liver and
biliary apparatus, drives out tho poisons
which produce thoso complaints, and
stimulates tho system to a vigorous,
healthy condition."
