PULMONARY CONSUMPTION!

Cut-zrrlml nml Asthmatic I){sor1lcrs.'

MORE than ONE 'I‘E.\"l‘lI of all the annual deaths in this

country and Great Britain, are stated to be caused by
‘that insidious destroyer of human life, the
()0i‘ZSUlVIIt".l.‘EON.
Easily overcome in its infancy, it rapidly arrives, if neg-
lected, at an unconqucrable and terrific maturity. An
obstinate, violent, and convulsive coiigli is the inevitable
forerunner, wltcn iicglecteil, of the ]'ULi\l()NARY CON-
SUMPTION, and its atti,-ndant train of horrors; increased
heat and pulse; nausea; oppression of the breast; greenish
and bloody spittle ; loss of appetite and increase of thirst;
ulcerated lungs; clammy sweats and hectic fever; general
' ’ shrivelled extremities; excessive
and weakening discharges ; sinking of the eyes ; prostration
of strength; burning palms and flushed checks; swollen feet
and legs; and, at length, while the wretched siiffercr is still
sanguine of life, cold extreinitics and an agonr/.ing death.

- ’The.sc evils may be nipped in the bud by the timely adminis-

tration of that long tried and invaluable Medicine,

'.')it. Ri;i.i=i:‘s ASTXIMATIC PILLS,
which have been known to cure persons supposed to be far
gone in a Consuinption, and exliibiting all the appearance of
approacliing rlissolittion.

The Pills also constitute an excellent PECTORAL MEDICINE.
‘Those therefore who are trgiihled with the common coughs
occasioned by acrid humours, tickling in the throat, orde-
fluxions upon the lungs, depriving the patient of refreshing

 sleep, and gradually introducing the train,of1’ulmonm-y affec-
‘{.:]_ tio'ns, will receive from the
 frequently,

use of the Pills, certain, and
the most sudden and cheering relief. They
appease the cough, promote easy expectoration, relieve and
often cure protracted, obstinate and most. distressing cases.
-Common. Colds are generally removed by the Pills in a few
ours.
“ These Pills also afford immediate relief in the liarrassing
and suffocating complaint of the ASTHMA. In attacks of this
difficulty of breathing; tightness
.-ind stricture across the breast. and in the lungs; oppressive

' flatulence; wheezing; coughing and hoarsencss; costive
\ ness, and other Asthmatic symptoms, the timely adiiiinistra-

tion of Dr. Relfe’s Pills, invariably rnit.i_gates the attack, often
'c-nsurcs permanent relief, and» soinctiirics effects a. radical

-cure.
The Pills may be taken with the most perfect safety, as

- thby require, in ordinary cases, no confinement, and may be

adininistererl with the utmost confidence to all ages and

classes of pcople.. ;/ , _
These po ular Pills have been used by multitudes with
tinexamplc success, in a vast variety of cases, from those
‘of the slightest, to others of the most confirmed character.
"I‘lieir powerful agency has been known to revive front the
bed of sickness, the palid, dejected and emaciated victim,
and send him back again to “ the busy hum of men,” an active
,-man of hiisiness in the full enjoyment of the blessings of

—«tiealth.

II? In proof of which. the following, from a. multitude of
ltcstlmonials, are respectfully submitted: _ _

“ I have tried your I)r. Kc-ffc’c Asthmatic P‘I.Il.S‘, in Asthma.
-difficulty of breathing, and Consumption, when all other Muh-
winc hadfaifctl, and have found them most c.1:rr:lIcnl.” Another

' 3‘I’h_vsician writes: “I have tried your Rtlfc’s Asthmatic Pills

with a. patient ofmin_e, whose case had resisted every thing;
‘the cough has certainly left her.” A correspondeiit writes:
“ The ASTIIMATIC l’ii.i.s give such astonishing relief in cases
of common colds, coughs, cite. as no one can bclwuc unless ‘my
make the trial.” 1 _ ,

An agent writes: “Your (Dr. R{:lj’c’s Asthmatic) Pills have

performed a miraculous cure in this town. A man about 50,
?had been confined some months, his fact and logs lhully swollen’;
,a bad cough; respiration difficult, and was_gwcn over by his
,-physician and friends, who considered him in a confirmed con-
rsumplion; after taking three boxes of these Pills all the
.thrz-atoning sijmptonis are rcmoucil, and he is fast recovering.

A Gentleman of Plymouth, 70 yearspf age, was cured of
an Asthina, by three boxes, after having been aflhctcd up-
wards of thirty 3/cars. .

A young Lady of Boston, was severely afflicted for three
years with ‘a violent cough,_dllliCulty of breathing, spilling of
, blood, pain in the stile, deprived of sleep, and universally rle-
oilitated. In this distressing state, aft.er having tried other
Medicine in vain, and Cflnsillcrcfl as post relief, on taking only
-two boxes of these Pills, her con-,;li and the whole of her
symptoms left her, sleep was restored, and her health was
, perfectly established. _

POETRY.

A VVATCII WVITH THE DEAD.

No setise. no motion, no divinity-—-S/w.’lcy.

HI-lltl-‘., at night’s solemn noon,l sit
A watcher with the dead,

While phantom thoughts around me flit,
Ami nameless influence shed.

Science ascends hir awful throne,

And the weird m_oon, serene alone,
Floats througli the tranquil sky ;

And stars still tune the mystic lay,

That rose upon crealion’s day,
\Vhose tl.-emc’s eternity!

I think of l-iin that sluinbers there,
\Vrapp’d in a dreanilcss sleep,

No more to wake to joy or care,
No more to smile or weep.

I gaze upon his shrouded form,

But late with life's rich current warm,

§Now like the chiscl‘d stoue—-
Upon the pallor of his lips,
The darkness of his eyes eclipse,
— And feel that soul hath gone!

I think of maiiliood’s burning brow,
On slécpIe—s pillows press’d,

Throbbing with wild but inastei"d woe,
Keener as more siippress’d .'

I deem that memory wanders

Culling from childlioiod’s blessed track
Each fair and breathing flower:

That each kind deed, each pleasant smile,

ltisefrom fitnc’s grave to sooth, begnile
The terrors of the hour!

=)s=tt-a,*.--r.=:t==tt==lt=at-st=:tt=#

Eartli—earth! Thou hast one dear thing"
That doth riot fade and die,

Fleet as the passing flowers of spring,
The lines of §unset’s sky 3--

All that to us a glimpse lintli given

Whereby to dream and think of heaven
Haste to their mansion there;

All things that glad and fill the heart

Are I)0t‘x1—IJC‘i1l‘n—\\IllleI‘ and depart,
E’cn. as we qucstion—whcre ?

TIIE PI&IN'l‘ER’S SOLILO QUY. ‘
"Iis strange 3 his most prodigionsly strange

That our subscribers are so careless grown

‘Bout paying their arrears. They cannot but think
That we alone, who publish to the world

News from all nations, and delight to spread

Useful instructions through our spacious land,

Can, meanwliile live on air: it is flesh and blood
That works the press and turns the blackcn’d shoct
Well stored, and ready forthe eager eye;

This flesh and blood must be recruited oft,

As well as theirs, or else the work must stop.

This calls for CASII; and then how many reams
Of paper are struck off and scatter’d wide,

For which our money tnust be answerable !

Oh I that our readers would consider this’!

And, while they laughing look our paper o'er,

And gather information from its page,

\‘.'oiild pause, and this one question ask-—

Do I not owcfar one. two, three or more

Quarters the PR IN TER. who supplies me with

This shoe! .7 and oh ! that they would only add

1'1lgo even now andpay him. So should we

Well pIeas’d receive, and with light hearts pursue
Our useful toil ; while conscience would applaud
'I‘heir conduct, and give relish to the_feast

We may prepare. Come then, good friends, and
SOON.

IVIISCELLANY.
From the Boston Daily Advertiser and Patriot.
Letter from ]lIa_jor Downing. I
BOSTON, June 26, 1833.
Dear Uncle Josh——I suppose that you
have seen in the newspapers all that I and
the Gineral have been about since we start-
ed on our tower; but I inust tell you of our
reception at Harvard College, 0. school as
much beyond our schools down to Dewit-
ingville, as I am bigger than you be. \’VeIl ;
yesterday morning, saysthe Giiieral to me,
Major Downing, says he, I’in a going to
see Cambridge College, tIiat’s flat. I’m
glad of it, Gineral, says I; ’tivould never
do for two distinguished strangers _ to go
away without seeing‘ it: and besides, they
want to make you L. L. D. Fiddle-do-dee !
says the Gineral, as mad as a hen stuck in
a fence, what the deuce is that? W'liy,
Gineral, says I, it’s a Doctor. A Doctor,
says the Gineral, and he fetched his knuck-
lcs down upon the table with an eternal
wipe, make a doctor of me I If they dare
to do it, tliey’d better swallow nutmegs than
the pills I’ll give ’em-I’ll crack them with
my pestlc—I’ve let blood afore now. \Vhy
how you talk! Gineral, says I, it’s (1 Doc-
tor of Laws they want to make of you. I
want to know! says the Gineral, I never
heard of such a crittur, but it’s no bad no-
tion—I guess I know something about that
are business of Doctoring Laws. TItere’s
Clay’s land bill, tliat’ll never want a doctor
no tnore—aiid the bank bill, I did the busi-
ness in less than no timc—quickerthan ever
a doctor finished a sick man yet ; and I’m
apt to think, it was that veto consaru that
put the Collette into a notion of making
me a doctor.
May be, Gineral, says I, it’s what you had
to say about that second article. You get
out! says the Gineral, says be, least said
about that’s soonest mended : that very ar-
ticle might have. made some of these very
folks stand upon nothing and pull hemp.
However, Giiieral, says I, the long and
short on’t is, that the name Doctor of Laws,
as I’vc Iieard tell, is a compliment that Col-
leges give to men of letters. Like enough,
says the Gineral, says he, and now I think
on’t, I guessthat Silas Dinsmoor letter of
mine did the business-—it’s the prettiest
thingI over writ. But Lord I Major Down-
ing, says he-, if they give them are compli-
ments to men of letters, you ought to Iiave
one, sartin-for yon’ve writ more letters than
there are musquitoes in New England; and
I guess I’ll jist give some on’cm a nudge to
shell out one for you and one for Major
Eaton—-for he can say his letters about as
well as I and you. So off we sot, I and the
Gincral and the t’otIicrs, Mr. Van Buren
and suchy, and soon got to the College;

: be Doctors.

and then they stuck its up in the Chapel,
aiid'I’_rcsidciit Quincy made a speech, and
told us that he was near about ready to
faint, he was so glad wc’d condcscended to
come and sec ’ein. \Vhy I fact ! Major
Downing, Mr. Quincy’s a talking plain
Englisli—there aint a pot-hook nor train-
niel in a word he says—and I like that, for
Icaniiot make head or tail of your lingo-
frank.

Stop a bit, Gineral, says I, and ynu’ll get
pot hooks and trammcls to your he-art’s con-
tent. But, Major Downing. says the Giiie-
ral, Iiow am I to manage when I see a pot-
hook coming’! \Vhy, Gineral, says I, in a
kind of a whisper, you’ve nofliing to do but
just to wink now mid then, an_i_J hob your
head, and look over so knowing, and tliey’ll
begin to think you know more about the
matter then they do themselves. So, to-
rights, the pot-hooks and tramtnels catne
along, sure enough. A smart chap riz up,
and whipped away beautiful in some droll
lingo, and the Gincral began to hob and
wink, and wink and bob, and look as know-
ing as a rooster in a rainy day, and now
and then scrape out one foot, so as to be
polite, as if he knew it all jest as well as
the things at the head of the bits of the
119th psalin; only once, he crooked his
head down to me, and says he, Major

' Downing, says be, if you hunch my elbow
- now, and make me snicker, I’ll be the death

of you. Then President Quincy, he got:

-hold of the pot-Iiooks too, and gave the

Giueral his degree ;.—and soon as the Gine-
ral had got it, halloo says he, to the
President, neighbor, says he, han’t you got
no more of these gimcracks? I want one

: a piece for Major Downing here and Major

Eaton, you know him; he that used to
mfllie any war reports. However, we came
away with a flea in our ear, for the Presi-
dent of the College stood to it, that he-’d

, got no more on hand—and I and Major

Eaton must wait a spell before we come to
Your loving Nephew,
MAJOR JACK DOVVNING.

 

The following letter from the real Jack
Downing, to the Editor of the Portland
Courier, contains the first itifbrmatioii re-
ceived in Portland, that the President had
resolved upon an immediate return toVVash-
ington. The Editor of the Courier says
this information produced great disappoint-
ment. There were a great many long faces

‘ on the occasion, and not a few short ones.

Many strangers were in from the country,
and many more were expected. The Gov-
ernor and Council had adjourned from An-
gusta to meet in Portland. The Boston
Band Iiad arrived, and great preparations
had been made for the occasion, but it’s all
“love’s labor lost.”

CONCORD, Nit Hamshoer, June 30, 1833.
To the Editor of the Portland Courier,
_My dear old friend,—'.I‘he jig is all up
about our going to Portland and Downing-
ville. I’ve battled the watch with the Pre-
sident this two days about it, and told him
he must go there if he bad breath of life
in him ; and he kept telling me he certain-
ly would if horses could carry him there.
But: then Mr. Van Baron and the rest of
cm and the doctor would come in and tell
him if he mea'nt to get back to \Vashing-
ton alive Iic must; start pretty quick; and
he’s finally concluded to start on his way
back to-morrow. I cant help it; but I feel
bad enough about it. If I was.'ii’ta military
man I could cry a barrel full of tears-.

I dont know how they will stan it in
Doivriingville when they come to get the
news. I’m afraid there will be a master
uproar there, for you ktiow they are all full-
blooded democrats.

But the stage is jest going to start, and
I’ve only time to write you this line, in haste
from 'y‘o'jui' friend-, _ _

ARNOLD’S '.l‘REASON.

Connected with the sublime iiioitntain
scenery of the highlands, there is a tale of
treason that will remain indelible as long as
history shall repeat the. story of the fortunes
of the new world. \Vcst Point still shows
a frowning parapct—still holds in firm eni-
brace the venerable ruins of Fort Piitnam,
which a base t'raitor had bargained away to
the enemies of his country.

The story of Benedict Arnold is ftill of
that species of instruction derived from
tales of warning. Here, as in a glass, the
young may see the end of itifainy.

Arnold was born in Connecticut of poor
parents‘, and had never a good early cdiica-
tion. He was at first a trader in horscs,and
failed in business.

Enamored of military glor , he took coni-
mand of a company of revolutionary volitti-
teers raised in New Haven, and made many
dashing and successful expeditions against
the English. He was at the capture of
Ticonderoga; traversed the wilds of Maine,
and was present at the assault upon Que-
bec; was present at the bloody battles which
sealed the fate of Burgoyne; and suddetily
resigned his command at Philadelphia,
when he found that it was determined to
bring him before a court martial on the
charges of extortion and prodigality in that

city. He was sentenced to be reprimanded
by 'Washington. It was at this moment

that it is supposed he formed the design of
betraying his country. He immediately
sought and obtained the best command
which he could—it was that of the import-
ant post of West Point.

Arnold took good care that his real iii-
tentions should not be known to the siibal-
tern Englislfagent, but there was at New
York, a man whom he thought he could
trust. This was :1 Charles Beverly Robin-
son, an American by birth, and a colonel in
the British army, all of whose Iaiided pro-
perty lay in the United States. ll,_i,$ mali-
SIOII situated mi H-‘xigon, jay within f,j,,’_‘
American IIIIGS, three miles below ‘Vest
Point, on the opposite shore. ‘The coin-
niandiitg ofliccrs at V/Vest Point having

found it des’crted,, made it their quarters.
Arnold wrote to this officer that his coiiiitry—
men had been iingrateful to liiiii—-tliat tl
change had been produced in his political
sentiments, and that in consequence he
\VlSIlf‘.(I to open :1 correspondence on the
subject with Sir Henry Clinton. This was
tvell received by the British. \Vasliin_i_rton
having consigned the defence of \Ve;-st
Point to Arnold, the way was now open for
his treaclicrous negotiations. He was aux-
ious to receive the price of his infamous ne-
gotiations at the moment they were ratified
—bitt the wary English general could only
beprevailcd onto pass his word that he
should receive thirty tliotisand pounds ster-
ling, and the some ratik in the British ur-
my that he held in the American. As a
treaty had been formed between France
and America, and the English began to feel
themselves insecure in New York, Arnold
was urged to deliver tip his post ivitliotit de-
lay, as the time might soon come when it
would be ottt of his power to fulfil his eti-
gageinent.

Adjutant General John Andre, aid to
Gen. Sir Ilenry Clinton, was idepiifed to
bring the arraiigcinents with Arnold to a
concltisioii. This young and gallant offi-
cer was of foreign extraction, but was high-
ly accomplislicd, and endowed richly with
those qualities of mind and hotly that ren-
dered him dear to society. Pity that a soul
so noble atid refined should ever have blight-
ed its glory and honor by contact with the
dark-sotiled, tiaiterous Arnold.

A correspondence was opened betwccti
Arnold and Andre under the feigned names
of Anderson and Gustavus ; and mercantile
relations formed the supposed basis of the
coiii_mt.tnicntiotis. \V_ashington still made
his quarters at ‘Vest Poiiit—but had con-
certed a meeting with Count de RocIiam-
beau, the general of the French land forces.
And so much afraid was Arnold of the
scrutinizing eye of VVashington, that on Sir
Ifenry Cliritoii’s pressing Iiiin to take a dc-
cisive step immediately, that he replied to
these importtitiities in the following mercan-
llle Pll1'*1S00l0.‘£y—“Our master goes away
the sevcnteetli of this month. He will be
absent five or six days. Let us avail our-
selves of this interval to arrange our busi-
ness. Come immediately, and meet me at
the lines, and we will settle definitely the
risks and profits of the copartnership. “All
will be ready; but this interview is indis-
pensable, and iuust precede the sailing of
our ship.”

The seventeenth day of September pass-
ed and still VVashington remained at \Vest
Point. This was a sad delay for the traitor;
he imrnediatcly wrote and couiiterinandcd
Andre’s arrival.

Clinton, however, put Andre and Charles
Beverly Robinson on board the sloop of
VVar Vulture, and they coasted along the
river with the design of acting as circum-
stances prompted. On the 20th of Sept.
the vulture had run aground alniost ‘oppo-
site Fort Montgomery, only five miles below
West Point. The eagle eyed Col. Living-
ston, who cammanded at Verplank’s Point
noticed the movements of the Vulture, and
sent to Arnold for two pieces of heavy cati-
non, that he might sink her; this was re-
fused. ,

Meanwhile W'ashington had departed for
Connecticut. Arnold received him in his
barge at the water's edge and carried him a-
cross the river.——VVhen in the stream,\Vasli-
ington took a spy-glass and gave a long and
seui’clling look at the Vulture—tIicii turned
to one of his oflicers and-gave an order in
a tone so low that: Arnold could not hear its
import. Fearing that _\Vashington had by
some rricans obtained a knowledge that he
had comrnunicated with the suspicious sloop
below, Arnold told him that Charles Bever-
ly Robinson had sent him two letters in re-
gard to his estate, and desired an interview.
VVt1sliington in positive terms and in the
hearing of all forbade Arnold’s interference
—and thus overtlireiv Ai'n'ol’d’s intention of
an open flag of truce while Washington
was absent, In consequence, Arnold sought
out a well known tory, Joshua Sinitli-, and
sent: him oti board the Vulture at night fall.
Andre accompanied Sinitli ashore, and met
Arnold at the beach. They went; together
to Sr.r.iitli’s house. IIere the plot was nia-
tured. Arnold gave the drawings of the
defences, and every necessary direction into
the hands of Andre. The 25th or the Slfitli
of Sept. was to be made the eventful time
when Arnold should deliver the fortrcssiizto
British hands.

McanwIiileLivings"o‘n,witltout any orders,
while this traitorous conference was going
on, bad mounted a four pounder and began
to fire upon the Vulture. _ Robinson, of
course, ordered her to fall a few miles lower
down the river, to keep out of the range of
the shot, and when Andre wished to go a-
board, his boattnen (Americans) utterly re-
fused to row him. He returned to Arnold,
assumed a disguise, and comtnenced his re-
treat to the British line by land. Every
one is familiar with the result so melancholy
to the accomplished young oflicer.
Meantime Arnold had given orders calcu-
lated to put the fort out of a state of‘de-
fence, and awaited the arrival of the Brit-
ish forces. He was observed to be greatly
exhilaratcd—quite overjoyed—and ascribed
it to the expectation of the speedy arrival
of his general, “for when: he had pleasant
news.” While he was in momentary ex-
pectation of more pleasant visitors than
his general, be received news of Andre s
capture,—and immediately after, of Wash-
iugton’s arrival at I"ishkill, and his hasty
approach to \Vest Point. Arnold.entered

of her child, refused to say a word. The
orders Arnold had given awakened ‘Vasil-

Jameson’s niessenger arrived with the pa-
pers in Arnold's hand writing fottiid in the
boot of Andre.

\Vasliingtoti seemed for a moment over-
whelmed, btit soon satisfied those who were
gazing tipon his countenance for some solu-
tion of the catastrophe which none seemed
to comprehend, by saying :-—“I thought an
officer of courage and ability, who had
often shed his blood for his country,was en-
titled to confidence, and I gave him mine.
I am convinced now and for the rest of my
life, that we should never trust those who

they may possess.-—-N. Y. Illcsscngcr.

 

“ Spclli/2g.”—Tliis laughable story we
find in circulation, but are ignorant where it
originated.

It happened one day that the ‘cut and
split’ for the fire fell short, and Jonas Patch
was wielding the axe in school time. IIG
had been at work abouthalfan hour, when
Memorits, who was perceived to have less to
do than the rest, was sent out to take his
place. He was about ten years old, and
fouryetirs younger than Jonas. ‘Memorus,
you may go out and spell Jonas.’ Our
hero did not think of the Yankee sense iii
which the master used the word spell ; iii-
deed he had never attaelicd but one mean‘-
ing to it whenever it was used with reference
to himself. He supposed that the master
was granting him a ride extraordinary on
his favorite hobby. So he put a spelling
book under his arm and went out to the
wood-pilc with the speed of a boy rush-
mg. _

‘Ye got your s‘p‘ellin lesson, Jonas ?’ was
the first salutation. ‘IIaven’t looked at it
yet.’ was the reply. ‘I mean to cut up this
jilapy great log, spellin or no spellin, before
I go in. I had as lrevc keep warm here
chopp_iii wood, as freeze up there in that tar-
iial cold back seat.’ ‘W'ell-, the master sent
inc out ‘to Iiear you spell.’ Memorcus be-
ing so distinguislied a speller, Jonas did not
doubt that he was really sent out on this er-
raitd. So oi.ir deputy spelling-master mount-‘
ed on the top of the wood-pile, j_us‘t: in front:
of Jonas, to put out words to his tempo-
rary pupil, who still kcpt on cutting out:
chips-. _ _ _

‘Do you know wliere the lesson begins;
Jonas?’ ‘No I doii’t, but I spose I can find
it it out now.’ ‘\Vell here ’tis.’ (They ho-
longed to the same class.) ‘Spell a-bom-in-'
a-tiorr.’ Jonas spells-. A bom-bom (in the
mean time up goes the axe high in the air)
i a-bom-i (down it goes again into the wood)
n-0. na a-botn-i-iia (up it goes again) t-i-o-it
‘.ion,a-boni-i- na-tion—chuck the axe goes a-
gain, and at the same time out flies a furious
chip and hits ‘Memoirs ‘on the nose. A
this moment the master appcaredjust round
the corner of the scliool-ltoiisé,{,fwitl:t, one
foot on the thresliold. ‘Jonas, wliy don't;
you come in didii’t I send Memoriis out to
"spell you '1’ ‘Yes sir-, and he has been spel-
ling me ; how could I come in if he spelt
me here .7’ At this the master’s eye caught
l\/Iernorus perched upon the top stick, with
the book open in his lap, rubbing his nose;
aiidjustin the act of putting out the succeed-
ing word of the column-. Ac-com-mo (la
tion, pronounced Memorus in a broken but
louder voice than before for he caught ti
glimpse of the master, and he wished to let:
him know he was doing his duty. This
was too much for the inastcr’s gravity. He
perceived the mistake, and ivitlioutsayitig
more, wheeled back into the scliool-room;
almost bursting with the most turnultuoiis
laugh that he ever tried to suppress. The
scliolars woiidci'ed at his looks and grinned.
in syinpathy-. But in a few ininiites Jonas
came in, followed by llleinorus with his spel-
ling book, who exclaimed, ‘I have heard him
spell clean through the whole lesson, and
he didn’t spell hardly none of ‘cm right.’
The master could hold in no loiiger, andthc
scholars perceived the blunder, and there
was one simultaneous roar from the peda-
gogue and pupils; the scholars laughing'
twice as loud and uproariously in conse-
quence of being permitted to laugltin school
time, and to do it with the accompaniment
of the inaster.—l)istr2'ct School as it W'as.
