A whisper woke the air?
A soli tone ami low?
Yet barbed with shame and woe;
Now, might it only perish '.here!
No further go.
Ah me ! a quick ami eager ear
Caught ?p the little moaning sound ;
Another voice breathed it clear, J
And so it wanders round,
From ear to lip, from lip to ear.
Until it reached a geutle heart!
And that?it broke! >'
It was the only heart it found, t
The only heart 'twas meant to find, )
When first its accents woke;
It reached that tender heart at last,
And that it broke.
As low as it seemed to other ears, I
It came a thunder crash to hers? i
That fragile girl, so fair and gay,
That guileless girl, so pure, so true.
'Tis said a lovely humming bird,
That in a fragile lily lay, 1
And dreamed the summer morn away, s
Was killed by but a gun's report ]
Some idle boy had fired in sport! r
The very sound death was! ,
And thus her happy heart that beat '
With love and hope so fast und sweet, t

For who the maid that knew, ;

Of her young form and face ?)
When first that word her light heart ?

It fluttered like a frightened bird, a
Then shut its wings and sighed.
And with a silent shudder?died.

?Ir. Editor; Desiring not to be d
left out in the cold, and not seeing anything
from our section of the country
up to the present, time, I have concluded
to give you a few lines this week
just to let the world know that there c
is still a little life around here. I.
Onr farmers are going in heavy on .*
cctton this ye-r, and guano is in great 1
demand . I am afraid too much of it J
is being taken out on lien by the plan- .
tcrs, and bankruptcy may De tneir r
portion next fall.
There is nothing going on up here a
yet in a political way. We are all right, p
and expect to have some rights accorded a
to us when we go to the nominating j,
convention. We have been without p
representation about long enough, and
it is time now that some of our men a
were nominated for office. s
The steam mill of Messrs. JRaley & 1
Sons is now in active operation, and the ^
way they are turning tfto pine trees into s
plank is a caution. May their enter- *
prise prove to be a paying one.
The old journal comes to us regu- j
larly on time, and I can assure you it is p
highly appreciated. It speaks our feel- t
ings exactly when it talkB of fair deal- j.
ing in all things, and docs not hesitate r
?in nnvthinp that goes wrong, :
iv ouv.? ?j 0 ,, w ,
no matter who the wrongdoers may t
be. Just keep on in that course, and .
you can count on our support to the s
end. 0
The great distance that some of us 1"
have to send for our mail is rather s
annoyiog to us. We still hope to have '
a post office established near us before s
long. There is no harm in trying to I
get it, even if we do fail. c
I
The school question causes a little ^
concern to some of us around here. It ,
is too much cut up to allow of any
school being kept open long. f
Let's map our the school beat boys, v
And see what will prevail; f

In spite of Albert Haile. J
Let's map out the school beat, boys,
And see what we can see:
We'll get up a little school
For fhe pleasure of two or three. J
There was a map of the old school house J
I saw it here of late: '
I think it full snfficient 1

Answer to "Observer."
Mr. Editor : The method of solving i
problem No. 5, used by "Observer" in 1
the Journal of the 18th ult., is not i
correct, and leads to an erroneous re- i
suit. He first assumes that the equal l
payments are 8300, and then endeavors :
to show that they should be 8363. This <
amount, substracted from 81,500, as <
the first payment, will leave 81,137, 1
and not 81,200, to draw interest lor tne i
next interval, and so on, which will I
disarrange the whole calculation.
This question was given in Davies' <
University Arithmetic, published some <
years ago, with the answer S3G0 5G,
which was pronounced to be wrong. An- i
other question similar to it in Robinson's
Algebra, is as follows : "A man
borrowed SCO; what sum shall he pay
daily to cancel the debt, principal and
interest, at 10 per cent, for 12 months
of 30 days each ?" The answers given
in different edititions 81 5 GOO and
81 G1 -7200, are incorrect. On these
questions, Prof. Proctor, Liberal Insti*
tute, Clinton, New York, comments in
l>Molkait.!)hnnl Mnnllilv " Ynl III.
l.JC .-J ...... ....... v, ...
page 255, as follows:
"There are in cootmon use two modes
of adjusting the interest account when
an obligation is cancelled by partial
payments. The oue is described by the
United States rule, the other by the
Vermont rule. According to the former,
the interest to be cancelled is that which
shall accrue on the unpaid parts of the
principal during the intervals between
the successive payments. According to
the latter, the intereet to be paid is the
excess of the interest of the given sum (
f-.r (lie whole time above that aocr dug]
on the various payments from the dates!
at which they were severally made to!
the time of settlement. These two
methods gave different results. * * *
15ut it stems to me that, in all examples
-1 q*-? pnnrliflfin is
Ill tUld liaiuig, nuwu mm vv..v....v. ?
not defined io (he problem, the United
Ptntes rules should be applied. Nor
has it tho higher commercial authority,
but the analysis by this principle is
more pertin?rit and rational The given
:um is made to draw interest for the
Srst interval. Then a payment is made,
svhich cancels the interest duo and part
)f the principal. There is now left a
aalance of the principal on which inlerest
will accrue for another interval,"
fcc.
The Professor then gives the coircct
nathematical formulae for solving tho
)rob!em by the two rules; but what
icems a little curious, hie numerical soutions
of his formuhu ar? all incorrect. 1
rhev are as follows : Problem No. 5.
)y first rule, S3G0 OS, by tho second
ule S342 10. Kobinson's problem by |
ho first rule, $1,00S4984. The correct
olutions arc, first, $305 830, secoud,
5355 2C3, third, Robinson's, 81,00849>36,
and by the second rule SI 61-7259,
;iven by Prof. Hoyt.
"W. R. B." is undoubtedly correct
.ccording to the rules of grammar. In |
he arithmetics the singular verb is genrally
used, bocause the words products
f, or some other explanatory word, is
mderstood before the numeral, the pro?
luct of nine times eleven is 99. Q.
Reply to "Syntax"
IMr. Editor; My attention was
ailed a few days since to "Syntax's"
eUcr in your issue of the 11th inst ?
Vs a school teacher, at present teaching ,
n the "Lost Territory,"?and I believe
ho only school that is now open?I
eel certainly bound to say something r
n reply.
I live about one mile and a quarter
rom the school house, I leave home
,bout 8.15 a. m., and return about 4.15
>. m. I tnach from 9 a. m.. until noon,
nd frnm 1 n. m. until 3.30 11. m., al- ;
owing tho hour between noon aod I l
>. m, for recess. c
I think from five to six hours a day 1
mple time to teach twenty or thirty
cholars, and any patron, trustee or
eachor desiring to teach longer would t
ie doiog more harm than good to the cholars.
For, like a long sermon, it '
lecnmes tedious to both hearer and .
peaker. , J
"Syntax" should be more explicit,
lis duty would havo been to have re- (
lorted such delinquent teachers to the
rustees or school commissioner, if, as
ie says, he freqbently meets thom, and
lot to have made so bold an assertion
n such a widespread paper as yours as
o say "he knows it to be the case that .
mrents will not sond their children to
chool for fear of the wear and tear j
f shoe leather^or them to romp for an
lour or two." oucn a statement- ia ,
ublimely ridiculous. The fault is not J
rith the teachers at all It lies, I am
orry to say, with the parents. Some,
' verily believe, do not waDt their
:hildren educated for fear they will
;now more than they do themselves,
iclieving that "where ignorance is bliss,
tis folly to be wise." Others mak?the
xcuse, and oh, how often! that they
:annot spare their children ; that they
rant them to work at home or in the
ield. Shame upon such. Did tho
Almighty entrust them with children
,o be brought up as slaves, in ignorance ?
[ say they arc robbing their children
>f their just due, therefore committing
i gross injustice towards the little en*
rusted to their care, and a great sin
Defore their Maker. No wonder such
pareuts do not prosper. They cannot
spare their children to go school for
hrec or four years, so that their minds
nay be enlarged, and that they may
;row up noble men and wamen, but
prefer to keep them in ignorance, so
;hat they may indulge iu tobacco and
jther luxuries (?)
Here is where the fault lies, that vr'e
iro not ablo to support a school
onger than thr je or four months. Let
ihe trustees employ first-class teachers,
whose characters will bear investigation,
aot time killers and nurses?and then
aeither they nor the patrons need visit
;he schools to see whether the teachers
ire doing their duty. These are in*
.M l. f..?. T ?\,n
jomroveruuie iuui?. jjcu hwk m.v
wish their children educated make it
worth the while for teachers to teach
before they begin to find fault with
them
In conclusion, I must say that whojver
told "Syntax" we were a set of asses
aver here would do well to ponder over
Esop's fable% about the convention of
animals. The other animals would not
have known who the ass was if he had
not brayed first. JiP.

Hair Vigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most acrreeable drcssimr. which
is at once harmless and effectual, for
preserving the hair. It restores, with
the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or
gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown,
or deep black, as may be desired. By its
use thin hair is thickened, and baldness
often though not always cured. It
checks falling of the hair immediately,
and causes a new growth in all cases
where the glands are not decayed; while
to hrashy, weak, or otherwise diseased
hair, it imDarts vitality and strength,
ami renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures
ami presents the formation of dandruff;
and, by its cooling, stimulating, and
soothing properties, it heals most if not
all of the humors and diseases peculiar
to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases of
the scalp and hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable. It is colorless,
contains neither oil nor dye, and
cr.il whim It iiiiDartS
an agreeable and lasting perfume, and
as an ar; iclc for the toilet it is economical
Kid unsurpassed in its excellence.
