very interesting address on the condition of
our common schools.
Essays on teaching Deography and Ortho
graphy were read by S. Dixie'. and J. Mc-
Keehan. Extracts from the ‘.lchooldournal"
were read and commented i IZw, and, quite
an animated discussion took place on the
question, "should the rod discipline be 11.1)0-
lished from Our :schools."
Dec. 2. 1854. The Institute met in school
house N,o. 1. The ollicyrs being present, the
discussion of the rod question was rcs,inned

dillelen, Linn, McKeehan. Leidigh and

the "school teacher's duty," was read by Mr.
James.

and Messrs. Bixler and Clay, the negative.

PAY YOUII. BI LLS—A N lscusnrc.—Some
years ago, a thrmer in Fredriek-county, Md.,
owed a neighbor of his $5O, and as soon : . s
he could realize the somdie promptly paid it
over. The morning he (111411 to pay ,t,
friend • appeared to be v'err thankful, renutih
ing that lie WaS also in delit,to another per
son who needed the money, and he would at
once take it. to. him. This remark started a
train of thought in the mind atilt , first per
son, who said to himself—why here is $1( . 0
paid with $5O. 1 will at once follow up this
mutter and see where it will end, He then
followed Up the' payment of debts by this
one note of $5O, until he traced it to the
large amount of $3,750 ! Ivliefi it got out of
his reach.
Now here is the moral : A owes B a bill,
•which, Vile pays piumptly, will lie paid by
B to C, and so on through the whole alphabet
and it will be surprising to every one, a hat
a , small amounv necessiirr to pay 011 hun
dreds of thousands by' keeping the eagl es
on the wing." Now, when the money mar-
het is so tight and the banNks are unable to
discount all the paper offered, let persons be
gin to pay their bills and by doing this, thee,
he mse Ives, will be paid back in turn. :It
is a maehine which feeds itself, and propel 6
by its own offal, the cxecutiot , of great cox.
