Teachers and others interested
in such matters will confer a favor by
making a note of local school affairs,
such as the building of school-houses,
the furnishing of schools with libraries
and apparatus, the enlargement and
improvement of school-grounds, edu
cational meetings, &c , and sending it
to us for use in this column.
figkUnlil the county accounts have
been published the required numbei
of times, the columns of the Gazett.
will be so much crowded that we mus 1
occupy but a small space Some mat
ter on hand will, therefore, be omitted
this week. A small space will be oecu
pied by a few thoughts on a mott<
which needs to be observed by evert
one engaged in school room duties. A
good motto lor every teacher, evert
pupil, every parent, and every man and
woman who would be a consistent
christian is
DON'T FRET.
Every one admits the unlovingness
of the practice, but few ever reflect om j
its bad effects. Fruiters are about as ;
disagreeable people as can be found ; j
they are always socially, if not phys
ically, uyly. A fretting teacher is sure !
to have a restless school. lie whoj
cannot govern himself should not ex
pect to Succeed in governing others.
Fretting relieves no pain, lightens no
burden of care. It rather binds a
heavier burden upon our shoulders.
It embitters the happiest life, and sips
poison from fountains where others
find crystal water.
The disposition to fret is, in many
cases, owing to an unhealthy condition
of the body. It is scarcely possible
for a dyspeptic to be sweet-tempered
Attention to exercise and plenty of
fresh air will aid much in preventing
the disposition to fret. 11. j

otherwise.
A few weeks alter a late marriage
the husband had some peculiar though is

as he saw no appearance of a 'washing.'
He thereupon rose earlier than usual
one morning and kindled afire. When
hanging on the kettle, be made a noise
on purpose to arouse his easy wile
She peeped over the blankets and ex
claimed :
My dear, what are you doing?'
He deliberately responded, 'l've put
on my last clean shirt, and I am croint
to wash one now myself.'
'Very well,' replied Mrs. Easy, 'you
had belter wash one for me too !'
•Do you enjoy going to church now?'
asked a lady ot Mrs. Partington.
'Law me, I do,' replied Mrs. Parting
ton. 'Nothing does me so much good
as to get up early on Sunday morning
and go to church and hear a populous
minister dispense with the gospel.'
