A few daysal'ter the advent of the new
year, one of our fair young Indies, whom we
shall call Mary for the simple reason that
her name is not Mary, invited her choice
young man whom we shall call William
for the aforesaid reason, to take a sleigh
ride -a leap year affair when- she should

he 'should he the one entertained. Wil

time the horse, awing to the insecurity of
the hitch, got loose ami wandered off.
Here was tnmhie; he could not go after
the runaway ami she dared not. A small
boy helped out of this ditlit ulty by return-in-;
with the truant steed, but before lie
would give possession demanded a quarter
fur his aid. Mary brought out her purse

cipe for a wedding cuke, two caramels and
nothing more. At this jMiint William ad

The late Farm Hidge Seminary on Fri
day last was resurrected to a lively literary
performance, that reminded us of "ye old
tin timf.s" when the scholastic years were
closed with an exhibition, consisting for
the most part of music, dialogues and the
speaking of " pieces." The entertainment,
which was so highly appreciated by all
who hail the good fortune to get a seat, was
given by the .leaks Family, consisting of
Mr. .leaks, wife, mother in law, ami four or
live children, including " .leaks' baity,"
each and all of whom, especially the baby
mill the mother in-law. iierlonnetl then-
parts in a manner both creditable to them
selves ami satisfactory to their spectators
lustily ami histrionically.
The play that was acted, was that thrill
ing and most, intellectual drama entitled
"Cinderella or the Olass Slipper." All the
parts were well .sustained, particularly
those assumed bv the elder ami younger
.leaks, ami the daughter that personate!
the beautiful 'imlcrclla.
The performance closed with the recital
nf a few "pieces." Mr. Jenks was himself
again, when he spoke in his popular and
most illimitable manner "The Frenchman
and his Ilea powder."
We recommend the Jenks Family to tin
kind consideration of all school directors
ami owners of public halls. If their ai t
ing, ami we say it without disparagement
is not of the highest order and their play-
is not strictly Shakspearian. their is nothing
immoral or improper admitted upon their
stttge. All that we see anil hear is as pure
ami unsophisticated as innocence itself.

MANUAL TKAIXIVti.
Supt. Ilowiund of the public schools,
Chicago, has this to say in regard to
manual training:
The rani 1 concentration of our popu
lation in the cities and largo towns, and
the great increase of indoor employ
ments consequent upon the almost uui-
eisal me of machinery, lias eiianjou
the whole character of our industries.
Our pupils, instead of returning: troni
the school to the tarn) ana tne woik
shops, ns of old, now seek positions in
commercial or mercantile iil'e, while a
niaiority of our college graduates turn
. . V ' 'in. -
to tin) legal or medical proiessions. i no
a use, in part at least, is not hard to
had. Our hovs do not learn trades, ui;-
aiisn there are no trades to learn.
Division of labor, without the aid of
restrictive rules, has done away
with the old apprentice system. oi k
has become sp.-clalized, and the work
man of to-dav. to ho anything more
than a mere tool, must have a higher
mental training;, a more systematic
knowledge of principles, a nicer and
more .skillful touch than the o'.d methods

machine-shop. Tim great respect paid
to wealth ami the, surroundings it per

ngage m trade; no man ever oecaiuu

and tho prizes and honors of society
are rarely beiowetlon the day-laborer,
ami what more natural than that tho
outh should caiieriy seek those patna
by which the successful have won their
envied positions?
Law and medicino are sun rejjnrueu
... ... i.i
as pathways to honorable distinction,
and they are to-day the only two pur
suits in which the laborer is his own
master, an independent citizen. All
others aro mere employes, with their
hours of service and ralo ol wages
determined by rules beyond their cm
trol. Even tho small farmer has given
plaeo to the hired laborer; tho machine
has crowded out the man, except as
a higher education shall enaolo our
voun? men to understand tho inter
dependence of the different elements of
society, and tne true relations or capi
tal and labor in promoting- the best
interests of ah. lor success in all the
departments of mechanical industry
aud art a correct and thorough train
ing in drawing and design is a prime
requisite, and is tar from being a mere
accomplishment in professional lite,
This would seem to be a branch suited
to the cenditious of the school-room,
aud alike desirable for all, without dis
tinction of sex or social surroundings.
Even in the proper work of tho school
itself, in geography, in history, and in
all scientific study", a familiarity with
the j.encil and crayon is indispensable.
hat other industrial education, if
any, shall form a constituent part of
-ur school life, is an open question.
Nothing has yet been presented beyond
few individual devices, which have
served to stimulate curiosity for the
hour, but can hardly be deemed an
answer to the question. That scientitio
schools tm.l institutes of technology
will be mult. plied is a foregone conclu
sion. Industrial aud manual-training

tchoo!, like the on.1 soon to be op neil

three rouu:s, with suitable appliance,
to which pupils from our schools might
resort for mechanical instruction some
hours each week, could readily he pro
vided, nml would probably meet our
present neciN.
Hut all these prepare thuir pupils for
positions of supervision and direction,
ami all' e: a comparatively stu dl num
ber like in : tie ion in Greek, and still
leave the bos s and girls of our gram
mar and primary schools untouched.
How are the eight or tea years between
the kintlergarien ami tho industrial
school to be tilled? What useful work
shall form a part of the daily employ
ment of the thousand children in one
of our bi.ildiitgs? What en be done
for the great massoi our pupils beyond
improving our methods and more wise
ly applying the principles, still leaving
some care to tin) parent? seems yet to
wait an answer.
