Henceforth we cry with our eyebrows, at Fast one of the French scholars declares this to be a fact. Poor Ben Jonson must have stirred in his sleep of two centuries, for one of the scholars asserts that he was President of the Fnited States several years ago. One of the wonders of electricity:— “Young man , bring me the electropho- rous.” The young man after a pro¬ longed search triumphantly issues from a back room, with a circular baking- tin. Some one of our editors ought to apologize for an oversight in our .Tanu¬ ary number.

It is our intention to furnish our patrons, however, with a better and hiqher than second class. Pride. It is not the purpose of this editori¬ al to set forth the evils of pride, but tlie advantages arising from it. If anyone wishes to get along in the world, he must have some personal pride, for, as a general rule, unless ive think Avell of ourselves, no one will think well of us When a ] erso!i constantly depreciates his own services and tells of how little account he is in the world, ive are willing to agree with him, instead of regarding him with the respect to which jierhaps he is really entitled. In school, esiiecially, pride is neces¬ sary if we wish to stand high in the estimation of our classmates and teachers. The scholar who does not care if he makes a failure day after day, and Avho has not pride enough to be ashamed to carry home a jioor re¬ port is always the one who never has perfect lessons and who is at the foot of his class. We all ouo-lit to have class as well as personal iiride, and do all in our power to make our class the best in school. Whatever enterprise ' s un¬ dertaken by the class as a whole, a class ])aper for example, should have the hearty sujiport of each member, for in this way alone can success be obtained. The jdeasure given to our teachers and parents by our good scholarship and deportment, and the pride ' that they feel in making out and signing good reports ought also to be a matter of ])ersonal jiride to us. We trust that all the scholars take enough jiride in the school to keep the reputation that we gained by our ex¬ hibition last February, and that each will contribute to the success of the coming exhibition by making as many articles as possilile. Soliloquy by Our Bell. (Continued from First Page.) change. They are just the same noisy, mischievous boys and girls that their fathers and mothers were. Y et I can¬ not feel for them the same affection as for those whom my voice, as it ran out for the first time, called from the sweet enjoyment of old fashioned sports to the task of learning hard lessons. I can see them yet, robust boys and Mdiolesome maidens, rustic perhaps, some of them sans collars, sans boots, but not sans everything, trooping in with sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks. Alas! they now are scattered far and wide. “One by one I have rung in the new classes and rung out the old, for each year has brought its fiock of children under my care, and each year has sent forth from these walls a band of young men and women ready to begin the b ttle of life. Have they struggled as nobly and successfully in their con¬ test with the world as they did in the school-room V 1 trust so. Perhaps none of them have become famous, perhaps none of them ever will, for the number of those who gain renown is very small in comparison with those who seek it, yet if they do their best in their sphere of life, however humble it may be, I am truly proud of them. “Hecalling the number of tliose who have entered and who have bade adieu to the school, I can say with ‘The Brook,’ if not in the exact ivords at least in sentiment, ‘Men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.’ ” At this affecting point, for it is in¬ deed affecting to hear a bell quote ])oetry, some movement on my ])art must have startled the speaker, for, as if fearful its solihxpiy might be over¬ heard, it relapsed into silence. I. L.

Second Annual Industrial Exhibition. The following graduates have con- sented to be resjionsible for their re- sjiective classes in carrying out the l)lan, j)ro})osed in a former issue, for obtaining the ])rizes for Fast Day. They will endeavor to see every one of their classmates or reach them by letter, but would be pleased to have contributions sent them without fur¬ ther notice and at once. Books ivere never bought for so lit¬ tle money as now. For 45c, 67c, 75c and 87c, valuable and attractive books can be purchased, and these it will be as honorable to receive as those of twice their value. Then, too, the larger the number of jirizes, the greater the num¬ ber of scholars who will be made hap¬ py. Contributions of 5c, lOc, and 15c, according to the numbers in the class¬ es, will be sufficient. ’02, Miss M. A. Parkhurst.’TO, Mrs. Fred Swasey. ’63, Mrs. John S.

It is a credit to the school of which you are members. Milford may take no little satisfaction, I am sure, in her High School. It is to me a pleasant thought that I was onc.e principal of it. In reply to your note, I left Milford in 1800; was cashier for B. U. Godfrey, 1801- 1802; in Boston, uSO-J; became p.astor of a church in Boston and remained with my parish till 1871. Have been a pastor here from that time to this. 1 still have the i ic- tures of my pirpils in Milford and when I get a c.ill from tliein now they laugh at their former solves. Wishing success. Yours, etc., G. .1. Wuitk. We regret tluit our crowded col¬ umns will not permit us to publish in full it very cordial letter from liev. G. L. Demarest, dated at Manchester, N. II. Below we give a brief (piotation : Whatever relates to the schools of .Milford, whatever developments they manitest, are of peculiar interest to me. My life in that town, though really but for a little more than five years, brought to me a peculiar liking for the people; and the public tru.st they reposed in me I .sought to fulfil with all due faithfulness. This led me to freciuent visitation of the schools; and I read .several items of your personals with much pleasure, because the names of men now grown, and women, too, represent to me the forms of school-boys and school-girls with which I be¬ came familiar during my four and one-half years term of service on the School Gom- mittee. It is now nearly twelve and one- half years since 1 removed to this busy city; but truly 1 would feel more at home in Mil¬ ford than here, because of the sociability of the people there.

In the morning he draws his salary, and in the evening. Behold, it is gone ! It is a tale that is told : It is vanished, and no man knoAvs whither it goeth. He riseth up clothed in the chilly garments of the night, And seeks the somnolent paregoric Wherewith to soothe his infant pos¬ terity. He cometh as a horse or ox, and draweth the chariot of his offspring. He spendetli tlie shekels in the purchase of fine linen. To cover tlie bosom of his family. Y et himself is seen at the gates of the city With one suspender. Y ea, he is altogether AV’retched. —[Corona “Done ?” said the little Base-Ball scornfully, “YVhat liaA’e I done?
