Two O'clock in the Morning.
Two O'clock in the Morning. BY W. E. PABOR.
Miss Kitty on the sofa sat
With Harvey Vane, and close at that;
When lo! the clock gavo warning!
And Kitty said: -Oh, deary me,
It cannot be, it cannot bo.
Two o'clock In the moruing!"
Without, the white moon watched the earth;
Within, therfld (Ire danced with mirth;
The lovers' cheeks adorning
With glow tnado crimson by tho press
Their lips had made, iu swuot caress,
At two o'clock In the morning.
I will not tell what words were said;
How Harry's heart held Kitty's bead,
Parental caution scorning.
I only know a singular Bound
Tho cosy chamber walls went round.
At two o'clock In the morning.
And thus it was, so 'twill be;
Such scenes the pensive moon will see,
And mantle clocks give warning
To lagging youth and loving maid,
Who have the parting hour delayed.
Till two o'clock in the morning.
iTThe following communicatoion, hails from
Brown's Corners, and wo give it a place iu our col
umns bocanao it contains some good snggestions.
I he personal reflections we dislike, but a little
drubbing now aud then is good for the best of men ;
and perhaps Ford may orao in for his sharo be
fore tho matter is ended :
Mb. Editor Sir: I wish, through tho col
umns of your Journal, to offer a few suggestions
to the Board of Common School Examiners, and
others on several topics. Instead of tho monthly
examinations, I would recommend that a week be
sot upnrt for that purpose. Let as many exami
nations be held, iu different parts of tlio county, as
there are days in a week. A conveaient time
would be from the first to the middle of October,
as we usually have Que weather a I that season of
the year. Such a course would be, I think, econo
mical both to tcnclicrs and examiners, iu a money
poiut of view. Tlio examinations for six mouths
would be done in as many days. There would
then bo no excuse for directors employing a teacher
without first seeinj his or her certificate, which is
now frequently done ; tlie exciuo giveu is, they
are waiting for the Examiners to meet iu their
party of the county, as tho expense of traveling
twenty-five or thirty miles, which is often done, is
not an inconsiderable item. This pluii has been
adopted by some of the eastern counties of this
state, with entire satisfaction to ull parties. The
method of conducting the examinations is, I believe
heanily approved by all who aro alive to the best
interests of that great uud glorious cause, popular
education. The course they have pursned-hns made
a marked impression for the better. At first, peo
pio were disposed to cavil, as it increased teachers
wages materially, but they now see tho wisdom
such a course. They can now soe that a good.
laitufnl.and efficient teacher one who is sensible
of the great responsibilities resting upon him one
who feels that lie must answer at tho bar of God
for the manner in which he has discharged his dm
ties in this noblest of callings, the training of chil
dren both for time and eternity, is far cheaper at
26 or 33 dollars a month, than ouo who lacks all
of these qualities is at half that sum.
I claim to be ono cf the common school teach
ers of Wood County. To which class I belong-
the born naturals, or lo a grade above I leave to
the examiners aud those who have employed me
lor tho last lour years tu decide.
Perhaps this proposition muy need an explana
tion. Mr. Allrod Kellej, a man who is manufac
turing teacher to order iu this part of the county,
atMillgrove, on tho fourth of July, in a gascon
ade speech of an hour and a quarter, on educa
tion, stated that ono half of thu common school
teachers were not ht to touch school the other
half were but little better. For my part, howev
er, I thiuk the people may rejoico aud be exceed
ingly glad, for this same Kelly has assured tuein,
or a part at least, that ho can, iu four months
time, manufacture au accomplished teacher out of
auy person, though they do uot cveu know their
Utters. Whether it is by supernatural power,
by hocus-pocus, that ho accomplishes in four
mouths tiuiewbut it requires others years of patient
toil to uttnin, I am not informed. He certaiuly
ought to be secured tho full beuefit of this wonder
ful discovery. His charges are moderate, only ten
dollars, and warrants a certificate or no pay. But,
by-the-by, I think he is rather backward in letting
his fellow mortals kuow what has bjcu going ou
in tho material world, for oue of his pupils inform
ed the Board ol Examiners that the state of Now
York was bouudedou tho west by Michigan, and
another of the states (I forgot which) was bouud
on the cast by tho Mediterranean sea ! I would
now recommend all who wish to obtain au accom
plished school teacher, or to becomo ono, to give
.Mr. Kelly a call, us 1 urn sura he can suit the most

Peacock Aristocracy.
There is something in nature ou which au
aristociacy of blood or of talent may ba pre
dicated. But the aristocracy uf wealth is ridic
ulously absurd, while that of dress is sublimely
ridicuolus. The peacock aristocracy uf this
country was handsomely rebuked at Washing
ton not loiu since :
While Lord Napier, the English Minister.wus
busy at Washington, his Ldy sojourned at thr
Gil more Hous-, liiliiinore. The tuxliinuabU
circlts were agitated by tlie presence ut' the wife
of a live lord, uud h :r ladyship received nume
rous culls and party invitations. The Ameri
can Utiles ol fashion, cluborutily an J gaudily
altited in tluuuees and jewels, were surprised
tiud the English ludy in excessively plain tlrets,
totully free fiont all display, ull glitter, and nun
sense. Nut a tingle jewel was visible upon her
prr.ou. The wile uf Lord Napier, however,

cent from a lung linn of illustrious ancestors
She is nevertheless remarkable, though born ami
educated in the heart uf European refinement
and civilization, Iur the plainness of her appa
rel, lbs simplicity uf her manners, and the en
tire lack of osU'iuatiuua pnteusiua. She ad
ministers a severe rebuke lu the upstart, pea
cock vanity which ditUiigubhesso many of our
piq-.r.
The Language of Dress.
Under this head we are impressed to say a few
words to th ladies, the marriugablu girls, es
pecially. We do this ' privately an, I confiden
tially," and request all young gentlemen to have
the politeness not to read this article. It is for
the girs exclusively.
Well, then, girls, you expect to get married
do you? if you do not, you should, You also
wish to marry, don't you? If you do not, you
are either more or less than worn in. Presuming
that you are all right in this mutter, we cull
your attention to the following rxtruct, the
words'of a popular author :
"A wife looks prettier, if she did but know
it, in her neat morning frock of calico, than in
the incongruous pile of finery which she digni
ties with the title of full dress. Many an un
married female first wins the heart of tier future
husband iu some simple, unpretending attire,
which, if consulted about, she would pruuouncc
too cheap except for ordinary near, but which,
by its accidental suitability to her figure, fuc
and carriage, idealize her youth wouderlully. If
the sex would study taste in dress more, and
care less for costliness, they would have no rea
son to regret it."
Now, we assure one and all the unmarried ol
the fair sex that we have known many females,
who really wished to marry, to live in single
blessedness aud die husbuidless, for no other
reason, iu ull human probability, linn thut of
dressing too gaudily. We have heard the senti
ments of the mule sex expressed a thousand
times on this poiut.ond in every instance, wheth
er the observer was young or oid, young man,
bachelor, widower, rich ur poor, ugly or hand
some, wise man, lup.or ilundy.iu every instance
un over tires ed or expensively " rigged uul '' fe
male lius lost caste til Ins c-suniatuin.
this is perfectly natural uud proper. A fool
ish uud silly man is not worth m irryiui! : uud
suusible man will surely jtuUe vuu advuutaue-
ottsly in exact ratio to the pUinne33 und sim
plicity ol your dress.
A poor man, or a man in moderate circum
stances, however worthy and deserving, dure
not marry a woman who is superfluously done
up iu ribbons uud flounces, (.however tulenle.l
aud lovely she may be, because he hus sense
en nigh to suspect she will be an expensive
ireusure. He may luve her. uud still feel that
he cannot ntTurd to marry her.

Simple Butter Coater.
of
Melted butter is all very well iu its right
place, but when butter is put upon the tea ur
breakfast tuhle, having the uppeuruuca of just
being out if tie oven, it is anything but credit
able lo the house-keeper und Iur Irom satisfacto
ry lo those who eat it. LVy toust is positively
spoilt il fpreud with soft butter; indeed, il
butter cannot be brought lo the table at least
firm, if not hurd, il is belter to keep it away
allug-Uher. Forluuuttly, however, it is not
necessary 10 pruceed to such desperate measures,
as butler can bi kept nice und ccol in ihe hot
test weather, aud that in a very simple manner.
Procure a large, new, flower-pot of a sullieienl
size to cover the butter plate, un 1 also a saucer
large enough for ihe flower pot to rest iu upside
down j place a trivet or meat stand (such us is
sent to the oven when a joint is to be baked) in
Ihe saucer, and put on this trivet the plate of
uuiur; now nit tne saucer with wuler, and
turn tue nower poi over tlio butter, so thut its
bottom will ba below the water. The hole in
the flower-pat must Iu fitted with a c rk ; the
butter will then be in what may ba culled an
air-tight chamber. Let the whole of the out
side til the (1 nve.-pot be then thoroughly drench
ed with vvuler, and place it in us cool a place
us you can. If lliis ba done over night, the
butter will be. as " firm as a rock" at breakfast
time j or if placed there in the morning, the
huiter wil be quite hard for use at Ihe tea hour.
The reason nf this is, thut when water evupu
rules it pro luces cold; the porous p it draws up
the water which in warm weather quickly evap
orates from the sides, and thus co ils it, and us
no warm uir can now gel at the butler, it be
comes firm and cool iu ihe hotleot day. 6'eir;j.
