If it comes before the people in. pV,operform, and receives a fair diseussion,,the questilin- will be: settled in favor of paying teachers for their 'Work and letting each one share. inthe expehge of boarding them. We have been hike- , Warm on this subject, but shill now favor thotaily just method oTThouducting free schools, viz: paying fairly for the Work,' and leavingteadliers to select their homes and compelling every parent to send. chil dreni to school somewhere until the ob ject sought by the system is accomplished.. With the thermometer at zero or twen t ._degrees beloW, it is barbarous- to ask. eachers to . change moans and homes ev ery week . -or•.oftener, and if tliey have pleasant, weather it is not pleasant to move so often. We know the answer is, "they choose to teach let ttem stand it," Tboie people who board the teacher paj. a double tax, while their neighbors .es cape their share of the expense of board.. In some ( . .istriets two or three families have to board the teacher all the time or go . withont - sehbols. It 'costs more to board them now than it would it they had steady boarding places, fornearly.ev-• .cry family: would board a; person three months at a less rate...per Wee . It than. foi a single week. Ask the ladies if it is not a fact that, a comparative stranger makes them more care than one who is a mem ber of" the househOld. •We ',know that some claim that it would be more 'expert- silt, but the fact is it would be cheaper, but. the . burden would fall upon those whe now escape it altogether. • Quito a large Percentage of the women of-this county teach school wore or less, and if the' ganeratione, to crane are to be strong, all the s,afeg4rds Mit, can be_ throirii arourid society tact It from` disease. This is one of the refornis messarY,And every step taken in the right'direction helpethe aggregate. Weak constitutions' begot disease, and dimwit) firings poverty, and poverty fills the abashouses and compels a. high rat° of taiation. We do not claim that :the descendants of teaChers are all weak in but ire do — claim that any Practice that tends. to, increase disease should be abated, for in time the effect becomes ob vious to'thop who in the start -ridicule the idea of harm. Workmen in factories are protected bylaiv, anct yet they would be conifielle4 to ,werk were they not, so many are obliged to teach even at .the risk' of health. Perhaps every family in a district is well able to hoard a teacher and willing, but will any physician.&ty that the practice of changing Abruptly (nth a plainlaiet to a rich one, or from one prindipally meat to One of vegetables alone, or vice versa, is conducive to health; or brings the one so , changing up to a physical standard suitable to mental_ labor. The teacher that timidly seeks. admittance to a strange houge every week,. and spends the best part of it in getting. acquainted, is not; in as good condition for teaching as the one who has a home near the schmol, and feels the indepen dence that comes from paying fur what you 'Ave and enjoying it.

MARGARET GAURETT EVAICB WM the; fifth child of Jour; Evexa, a'prominent lawyer of -Wilkes-Barre, and was t;om in that place7ilarch 14, 1813. In early girl hoodeshi", removed to Cooper's ,Plains, N. V., and made her home witfi an older sis ter. There she was married to MILLER Fox, January 6, 1847, and after a brief tesi deuce in Vermont, moved to Towanda, wllere the remainder of her life was spent. , The circumstances of her early life had great influence in determininA her 14r acter. Left motherless in- her fourth year, and bereaVed seven years aerlard of her father, she was thrown more than is usual upon her awn resources of- char acter, and hence became brave, energetic, positive and self-reliant. Her intellect was naturally clear and vigorous ; her in tuitions subtl e; her will resolute and in flexible. In . the way .of conscientious conviction nothing could move her, She stock' by the right with an immovable and outspoken determination. At the 'same time her heart was tender and de 'Voted. To her family she was the incar nation of love and fidelity, and she stood by her friends With unflinching loyalty. And in union,with her Clear intellect-and loving heart sluPpossessed a delicate and artistic taste. A thing of beauty was al lays a joy to her ; flowers seemed to -know her tender touch, and beauty sprang (responsive to her assiduous' care. ller home was a sanctuary to her clinging af fections. She pciured out all the treasures of her mind 'and heart upon it, and her family feel as if the perpetual light had burned out and the altar-fires had expired. Allthe gifts of this strong and active woman were consecrated by faith in the Lord — JF.sus Cnnisr. Her religion was undemonstrative, but powerful; it 'was not a mere feefing bat a life. Grace was both a restraint and an inspiration, ' It nerved her for duty; it supported and soothed her under great: trials. Bow are Called to stiffer as She suffered during the past four years. `But she went into the dark a.nd long valley leaning upon the Be loved, and she puled out with the peace fulness of a child into the radiant rest be yond.
