Iv&tlltytwctx. THE COMMON SCHOOL,. The common school, the common school, We sing its praise forever; Oh ! not from its ennobling rule Can our affections sever. How memory hallows every hour Along its flowery mazes, And consecrates anew each power Of thought to sing its praises. Some learn 'neath academic rule, And some in college classes, But, still, our blessed common school Will educate the masses. Here youthful heroes win their name, Here statesmen learn their letters, And many a laurelled son of fame To common schools are dobtors.. Bcsfdc the way the 9chool-room stands, Its favors broadcast sowing; The children come in rosy bands, To gather.-what she's strewing. Dear little people, free from care, Their -well-learned lessons saying, With pleasant music fill the air, Like busy bees a Maying. ? The common school, a boly charm On all its scenes reuses; Here wisdom stands with open palm, To crown us with her roses. Hero mind is might, nor can you buy Diplomas here with dollars ; The marks of true distinciion lie In being earnest scholars. The common school, Oh ! let its light Shine through the country's story; Here lies her wealth, her strength, her might, Here rests her futuro glory. The past a living witness stands On all this truth impressing, Tho common school is to our land A. source of countless blessing. While rallying round the Flag, we ring Loud paTans to our banner; For common schools, Oh ! let us sing One deep, heart-felt hosanna. For what would Flag or Country be To all our sous and daughters, If learning's font were sealed, and we Might never quaff its waters ? Far as our starry banner flies. Repeating Freedom's story, Oh! bid the common school arise, A benison of glory. The common school our hope shall be; On this and truth relying, We'll onward march, the brave and free, With all our colors flying. Don't Kiss the Baby. The promiscuous kissing of children is a pestilent practice. We use the word advisedly, and it is mild for the occasion. Murderous would be the proper word, did the kissers know the mischief they do.? Yes, madam, murderous, and we are speaking to you. Do you remember calling on your dear friend Mrs. Brown, the other day, with a strip of flannel round your neck ? And when little Flo? ra came dancing into the room, didn't you pounce upon her demonstratively, call her little pet, and kiss her? Then you serenely proceeded to describe the dreadful sore throat that kept you from grayer meetiog the night before. You ad no designs ou the dear child's life, we know; nevertheless you killed her I Killed her as surely as if you had fed her with strychnine or arsenic. Your ca? resses were fatal. Two or three days af? ter, the little pet began to complain of sore throat, too. The symptoms grew rapidly alarming; and when the doctor came, the single word "diptheria" suf? ficed to explain them all. To-day a lit? tle mound in Greenwood is the sole me? mento of your visit. Of course the mother does not suspect, and would not dare to suspect you of any instrumentali? ty in her bereavement. She charges it to a mysterious Providence. The doctor says nothing to disturb the delusion, that would be impolitic, if not cruel; but to an outsider he is free to say that the child's death was due directly to your in? fernal stupidity. Those are precisely his words; more forcible than elegant, it is true ; but who shall say, under the cir? cumstances, that they are not justifiable ? Remember "Evil is wrought bv want of thought, As well as want of heart." It would be hard to tell how much of the prevalent sickness and mortality from diptheria is due to such want of thought. As a rule, adults have the disease in so mild a form that they mistake it for a simple cold; and as a cold is not conta? gious, they think nothing of exposing others to their breath, or to the greater danger of labial contact. Taking into consideration the well established fact that diphtheria is usually, if not always communicated by the direct transplant? ing of the malignant vegetation which causes the disease, the fact that there can be no more certain means of bringing the contagion to its favorite soil than the act of kissing, and the further fact that the custom of kissing children on all occa? sions is all but universal, it is not surpris? ing that, when the disease is once im {)orted into a community, it is very like y to become epidemic. It would be ab? surd to charge the spread of diphtheria entirely to the practice of child kissing. There are other modes of propagation, though-it is hard to conceive of any more directly suited to the spread of the infection or more general in its operation. It stands to diphtheria about the same relation that promiscuous hand shaking formerly did to the itch. It were better to avoid the practice. The children will not suffer if they go unkissed; and their friends ought for their sake to forego the luxury for a season. A single kiss has been known to infect a family; and the most careful may be in a condition to communicate the disease without know? ing it. Beware, then, of playing Judas, and let the babies alone.?Scientific Amer? ican. ? A curious geographical problem is suggested by the appearance at the mouth of the Seine, near Havre, in the course of the present month, of one of the hermetically-sealed bottles in wooden cases which wore thrown over board du? ring Prince Napoleon's North Polar ex? pedition in 1860. Wooden covered bot? tles of this kind were thrown into the sea daily in the month of June of that year from the prince's ship, in the expectation that the course taken would lead to the elucidation of the direction of the greater oceanic currents, but during the fourteen and a half years that have intervened since then none of these bottles have been seeti till the present one was washed ashore. Its appearance at the mouth of the Seine seems to indicate that a polar current must be borne into the German ocean^ and must be carried thence through the channel to the western coasts of Prance. ? An employee of a large establish? ment in Wilmington, N. C., remained over his vacation at a summer resort and was telegraphed lor to return or loose his place. "Don't want the place; have a $200,000 girl in love with me," was the cool reply. But he came back in a week and took a place at $30 a month. ? "John, I came very near selling my old shoes the other day," said one to an? other. "How was that?" "Why, I had them half-soled." A Ghost Worth Having Around. The Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer says that city possesses a wonderful materiali? zing medium. The story is as follows: "It was only a few weeks ago that the person to whom wc refer became con? scious of his peculiar powers, but since the discovery he has continued to exer? cise them and they have rapidly devel? oped. Thus far the seances have been held in the presence ot a small party of his acquaintances, in a darkened room which, with the exception of a small table, is utterly destitute of furniture. No believer in Spiritualism has yet at? tended these sittings, so that it can not be said that any of his audience were un? duly prepared to give credence to the genuineness of the manifestations, and yet all of the spectators with whom wc have conversed are convinced that there was no collusion or trickery in the effects produced. One of the remarkable feats performed by the spirits is the bringing upon the table a supply of fresh tropical flowers. The flowers exhale a beautiful fragrance, are fresh with dew, and of va? rieties which can not be procured in this vicinity. The members of the circle the other evening were also regaled with ! splendid cigars dropped upon the table by spirit visitors, and the medium him? self was refreshed a day or two ago with a plate of ice cream furnished by the same mysterious agency. The medium can also materialize the spirits so that they become visible to those in the room. The spirits also play on musical instru? ments, and write messages on the wall and table, which to the ordinary observ? ers are mere hieroglyphics, but to the spiritual vision of the medium are really intelligible. This is only a small part of what we are assured has been accom? plished, but it serves to indicate the mar? velous character of the whole. We do not pretend to relate the above as facts, or expect that they will receive general credence, but are perfectly convinced of the honesty of intention and good faith of our informants. The medium is a tailor by occupation, and, it is said, could not accomplish the feats mentioned by sleight of nand, even if desirous of so doing. He is only twenty-two years of age, and his associates and his employer say he is perfectly frank and honest. He was never previously interested in Spiritualism, ana found out his capabili? ties only by accident. He decidedly ob? jects to notoriety, and does not intend to give any public exhibitions, and says he soon intends to relinquish all intercourse with the spirit world. ? All honest men will bear watching. It is the rascals who cannot stand it. ? The proudest people are invariably those who have the least to be proud of. ? The oyster season is upon its, and America expects every man to do his duty. ? The reports of the last year show that the dead letter office handled 4,000, 000 dead letters. ? "I Bay, Pat, what are you about, sweeping ?ut the room?" "No," an? swered Pat; "I am sweeping out the dirt and leaving the room." ? An old Grecian philosopher advises all men to "know themselves." That is advising a good many to form very low and disreputable acquaintances. ? A husband in Massachusetts can't make up his mind on the currency ques? tion, and so he refuses to allow his wife any pin money until a decision can be ar? rived at. ? A correspondent from a watering Elace hotel says his breakfast reminds im of the game of croquet, because it is so hard getting around the steak. He's a very wicket fellow. ? At the funeral of a woman in Slaw son, the other day, a neighbor in attend dance, feeling it necessary to say some hing sympathetic to the afflicted hus? band kindly observed: "You've got a splendid day for the funeral."
