There are several studies taught il our public schools which aro not of any essential benefit to tho chil dren of parents who cannot continuo them in colleges or seminaries, and hence, the time Bpeut iu acquiring a smattering of those branches is that much time thrown' away or wasted instead of being Bpent in the study of those more substantial and useful branches which every citizen should bo familiar with.

On the ono hand it scows a cowardly thing for a man to punish a litthi boy or woman to fall upon a Iitte girl. It is a mystery to tho writer hotf ny parent w ho loves tlm child can ever raise her hand against it. On the other hand, tho child which is not corrected soon be comes forward, peevish,, tiresome in short, spoiled. . '.vhat is to be done .' Tlie old iron clad methods of pun ishment are fast passing away. Thero is a vast change in public sen timent, since Solomon's lay. The "rod is spared" theso days by hu mane parents ; so are tho dark clos ets and other honors. But do tho gentle reproofs, tho chiding looks, the deprivation of treats, accomplish the much to bo desired results ? Are tho children better behaved than of yore ? Thero may not be so much out ward fear of their elders ; there may bo loss awo and reverence ; fewer outward and visablo signs of an in ward respect for authority, but sure ly thero is less inward, corroding re bellion. Whilo children may not love their parents any more, they aro on hotter terms with them than formerly. The father who is chummy with his boy, who gets dowu to that eager, inquiring, restless little soul and explains, visits and encourages, does not need to cut a birch gad or buy ahorso whip iu order to main tain discipline. And tho mother who sympathizes, cuddles and plays with hor children can keep her slip pers on her feet and her hairbrush on tho dressing table. Tho holding off of children is a fruitful source of disobedience. They need love, ten derness and sympathy as much as flowers need air and sunshine. Make Educated Citizens. Hero and there iu tlie land some start has been made in training up the youthful mind into some proper conception of the duties, privileges And dangers of the citizenship, and it is to be hoped that this subject may attract universal attention this fall term about beginning. There are boys iu every town who have a natural t.vde for politics, who will ,'niviato iu that direction, no matter how ignorant ly they may have been brought up, and for whom, as for others, it is of tho greatest import ance that they shall be lightly in truded in tho duties of the citizen ship through the public schools. Boys should have some definite idea what government is - its limitat ions md functions, what liberty consists in, what just ice means and what tax ation is proper and not tyrannous. On tho subjects named adults have vague ideas or no ideas, and they w ill not have them until tho boy who is the coming parent ami citizen obtains them where he should -in the school room. The common school has no meaning or excuse for its existence unless its intent and prime motive is the making of intelli gent citizens. Those schools are es tablished to protect the State from crudeness of general ignorance.

His paper last week contains tho following statement iu regard to tho matter : "The loss of appetite for tobacco came about in a peculiar way. De spite nil good intentions to steer clear of Chicago's abominable lake water duriiii the meeting of the Na tional Editorial Association iu that city in June, I drank perhaps half a dozen glasses- of that stuff iu tho form of lemonade, sterilized water, etc Tho result was a general dif fusion of malaria. Copious doses of quinine had to bo resorted to in order to eliminate that poison from the system. From the first day of this treatment dates the aversion to tobacco. Not only has the desire for tobacco been wholly eradicated, but the smell of it in a closed room is positively olfensive. One or two attempts, since, at smoking a cigar came near producing nausea.
