I In a recent examinatioji ])aper we i find a new way of mnlti])lying by the ! square of five: lG.08x5=80.40- -5= lb.008, answer. One of our esteemed editors has been on the sick list this week, the ! cause, we suj)pose, was the i-ecent class meeting. Inference: II a trop mange. Geography class. “Where is Shang¬ hai?” “At home in the barn.” Chemistry class. “What does pho- togra])h mean?” “I don’t know.” “The first jiart means light, and the I second to write. Now what does it mean ?” “Phosphorus writing.” Literature. “What is an anticpia- rian ?” “A collection of fish in a c-lass I , case.” “Foci ])roprii funms alieno igne luculentior.” : One more unfortunate, i Kashly imjtortunate. Gone,—to be laughed at ; Because he said, “Pip Van Wiidcle re- I sumed his former ])lace among the par- trkhjes of the village.” L Z L Teacher: Can you give the popula¬ tion of that state a{)])roximately ?” Scholar: “Oh no sir, but I can give it about.” The unexpected holiday, which we received this week, was spent by many of the scholars in visiting schools, the scenes of their former trials and trium])lis; we learned that the St. James (London) was noted for its “courting,” and that if two ap¬ ples were sold for one cent, one would be worth a cent and the other would be given away. Startling disclosures! People in¬ tending to visit Saratoga Springs should go to Newfoundland, so one of the scholars says, we su])])ose to recline on the Grand Banks and watch the silvery-coated mackerel skimmino: throuoli the water. “jMamma,” said a little girl the other day, “I have just carried Green Fields and Piccalily back to the library and now I have got Animals of a Quiet Neighborhood.” A paragra])h in a certain book told of a gentleman who was nearly over¬ whelmed, on his return home, by the caresses of his dogs. One of the schol¬ ars arose and with all possible solem¬ nity re;id, “carcasses.” Below we give the names of the first ten in scholarshi}), of each class, for the last term : First—Inez Gay, Clarence Morgan, Anna Walker and Belle Ross, Winnie Ilale, Frank Fales, Maggie Minon, Essie Thayer, .lolin Sullivan, Mima Westcott. Second—Willie Fales, Grace Field, Mande Dickinson, IMabel Godfrey, Effie Ciaige, Cora Snell, Lilia Dennett, Lottie Jones and Ellie Reed, Samuel Blunt. Third—Amy Harris, Lilian Hill and Lem¬ uel Wilmarth, Mary Brown, E ' izahe.th Barnes, Emmie Eldredge, Lizzie Whitney, Walter Parkhurst, Edward Rogers, Willie Phipps. Fourth—Clarence Barbour.

N. B. It is our intention to furnL«h our patrons, however, with a better ami hiqher than second class. Editorial. We M-isli that all the scholars who desire the success of the Oak, Lily and Ivy tvould ])atronize those wdio pat¬ ronize us. Our columns contain ad¬ vertisements of every kind from which all in need of articles for school or family use can learn Avhere something suited to their ' wants may be obtained. If, after a trial, it is found that pur¬ chases may be as profitably made of those who advertise with us as of oth¬ ers, then help us by patronizing them. “Variety is the Spice of Life.” Such is the saying called to our mind on glancing over the school¬ room with its YTiriety of chairs and desks. Tdiere was not always such a diversity of seats as there is now, but as the number of scholars has increas¬ ed, new chairs and desks have been added, until there are at the present time at least six different kinds. Here is a chair seat so insecurely fastened to its ' worn foundation of iron that its occupant can rock back- Avard and forward at his own sweet Avill; there, one is gone, its jdace being su])plied by a common chair. Here are two single desks jilaced side by side to form a double one, while not far off is a chair whose back is several inches higher than that of its neigh- bor. This is by no means an unusual thing, for in the double .seats one chair is freipiently lower than the other, a state of affairs very annoying to the ])ujnl who sits in the lower one. Tdie | desks, too, further illustrate this law of . variation. Their “dip”, as the geology i class would say, is truly variable and some of their surfaces recall to mind the piT-historic fossil iinjiressions in our cabinet. It seems to liave been the aim of e ’ery class to follow the ad¬ vice contained in Longfellow’s lines, and as they were not ceitain of ever “leaving behind them, footprints on the sands of time,” they have done Avhat they could to jierpetuate their names by leaving them on the desks. Courage fails us when we attempt to descrilie the inkwells, for there is even more variety in them than in the seats. Ve have inkwells with covers, and inkwells without, broken inkwells and those that are not broken, Avhile some desks have none at all. These are triHes which Ave Avoiild Avillingly jiass over in silence, did not a pressing need for an editorial sharp¬ en our CYms and our wits. “We have no History of Milford.” Such Avas the closing line of our last editori.al, December 19. That it is no longer true the following letter shoAvs: Dear Mr. Lull: —Father desires me to send yon this History of Milford, which he wishes to present to the YI. H. S., with best wishes for its future prosperity. Y ours sincerely, Anna M. Bancroft. Ilopedale, Dec. 22, 1884. To this the following repl} ' , signed by the leaders of the resjiective classes, Avas sent: Dear Miss Bancroft: —We heartily thank your father for his kindness in pre¬ senting the school so elegant a copy of the History of Milford, which we have long de¬ sired, and wliich will prove a valuable addi¬ tion to our library. Kespectfully yours, Inez L. Day, ’85. Willie L. Fales, ’8(5. Amy C. Harris, ’87. Dlarence C. Barbofr, ’88. December 2:1, 1884. Young Men. “It is a question of vital interest to every young man, as he comes to the age wlien he must commence his life-work, hoAV he can best equip himself to encounter the di faculties before him. It may be assumed as a con¬ cede 1 fact, that to enter successfully uiion an undertaking which is to shape the future of a A ' oung man, previous mental training and discipline are indispensable.” If this life-work needs u business education, read the third column of the fourth page.

Hev. Kli.as Xason, avIio w.as the first ]»rincipal and was connected with school from 1850 to 1852, Avrites from North Hillerica as follows: In reply to your polite favor of the 6th iiist., I would say that I have held pastorates at Natick, YIedford, Exeter, N. IL, Lowell and Dracut Centre, Avhere I am noAV preach¬ ing. I have lectured more than a thousand times before lyceums in and out of New England. I have also Avritten many liooks, the most popular of which are the Lives of Charles Sumner and of Henry AVilson, and the Gazetteer of Ylassachusetts. I have spent about a year and a half in Europe. Yly health has been, and still is, remarkab ly good. Ill 1865 I purchased a place in North Billerica, which I call “Brightside,” and where 1 fondly hope to spend the remainder of my days. It hasdieen my aim to live on the bright side of life ' and to make my heav¬ en as I go along, for I think this is the way to gain Heaven at last. I have three sons, two of Avhom are ministers, and two daugh¬ ters. I remember Avith great pleasure the days I spent in Ylilford and rejoice to hear of the prosperity of any of my pupils. I thank you for a copy of “ I ' he Oak, Lily and Ivy,” and think it very creditable to the editors and to the school, on Avhicli I pray the beams of Heaven’s gentlest love may ever shine. Ever and very truly yours, Elias Nuson. IMatthcAV P. Callanan, ’G8, is one of our leading grocery-men. Wm. IL Lotliro]),’70, is a manufac¬ turer of jiaient ferules in South Bos¬ ton. Julia F.
