The “simple grace” in Ben-Hur is : “Father of all—God !—what we have here is of Thee; take our thanks and bless us, that we may continue to do Thy wilV One hundred years ago Congress passed an act appropriating for edu¬ cational purposes the sixteenth sec¬ tion of the land of every township in every territory, so that all the new states have come into a splendid educational inheritance. A $30,000 building, whic h yvill ac¬ commodate 150 jmjfils, and he named the Kamona Indian school, is to com¬ memorate Helen Hunt Jackson, at Santa Fe, New Mexico. One rich M’oman devoted her jewels to the furnishing of a memorial room. It is said of the eighteen million children of school age in the United States, six millions are not in school hecanse of lack of state tinaneial ability to provide free jiuhlic schools for these children. At the same time the national treasury has a burdensome surplus of a hundred million dollars. Men who taste food ])rodnets for a living are obliged to sharpen their ])alates every now and then in order to keep them acute. The busiest butter-taster in toivn does this by eating an immense apple, mealy, if he can find one of that sort, every morning before he eats his breakfast. He says that restores all the sensi¬ tiveness of his taste. lYTlT. hlYE Y, FIRST CLASS TEAMS TO LET.

I ‘V IT cleaning, picking uj), and partially drying i)rocesses, until the pulp came forth from tlie rollers in large, thick sheets of ])ulp-board, which are then folded, ship})ed to Manchester, and there mixed with rags in different proportions, according to the quality of the jiaper lesire l. The little pond below the dam concealed its outlet so well that we made two false starts before hitting the right indentation. It was now very evident that we were on a river, for the surface of the water began to fall off before us like the roof of a house. Soon we ran our first rift, amid our own apjilause and that of the splashing, roaring water, and thought it quite an exploit; but we did not then know what was before us. At noon, Tilton hove in sight, and its bridge broke the Keljiie’s rudder, such was the force of the current. The Winnipesaukee River swings off to the west toward Franklin, and in the remaining few miles, a dam obstructs the channel at least every half mile. As vacations are limited, we felt justified in liiring a farmer to cart us to the lower mills at Franklin as soon as possible. We dislike to pass over Tilton without a word, for its beauties are many, and the public enterprise of its citizens bighly commend¬ able. The magnificent memorial arch, the richly carved fountain, the classic statues, the library building, and the public park, all deserve notice, but our space forbids. At Franklin, the Winnipesaukee River, on which we had voyaged, and the Pemigewasset,— “The child of that white-crested mountain whose springs Gush forth in the shade of the cliff-eagle’s wings,” unite and form the Merrimack, or Sturgeon River, “the key which unlocks the maze of lakes and streams to the north—the Merrimack, than which “no river in the world works harder;”—the Merrimack,— “Whose current shall never faint nor lack While the lakes and crystal springs remain.” Here it is that the shad and the salmon part company when they ascend the Merrimack. With what wonderful power the Creator must have endued them to enable them to distinguish between these two branches This they certainly do, for by the Winnipesaukee the shad seek the quiet waters of the lake, while by the Pemigewasset the salmon seek the rapids and whirlpools of that mountain stream. We breathed sighs of relief when, at four o’clock, we again embarked and bounded southward. But, alas! the sighs were shorter than the bridge of the same name. Rough , boisterous water was before us, and the surface seemed anxious to assume a vertical position. The talk about water’s seek¬ ing the ocean level is all very well, but when that ocean is more than a hundred miles away, this sudden, spasmodic way it has of tumbling over itself in its huriy is veiy reprehensible, and is also alarming to the inexpe¬ rienced. It was too late to back water, and so away we flew. We shall not say how fast we sped through tliose six rapids, for we don’t know, and shoiiUrt be believed if we did. Generally the rifts are short, but full of excitement and nervous strain. In what often seemed minutes, but were really seconds, the canoeist had exj)erienced the ])leasure of leaping down stream, grazing boulders rolling to this side and that, catching the s{)lash of a broken wave in his face, finding himself kneeling or sitting in a pool of water as’he is shot out into the still water; or, with broken paddle and shattered canoe, he may come pounding down, dragging behind his boat like the tail of a kite. We made claim to no skill in this kind of work, yet we received only one wetting, and saved our boats; but we were profoundly thankful when such spots were passed, and we could boast that “we had met the enemy and they were ours.” The greatest pleasure arising from such sports is the pleasure of relating them to admiring friends at home—taking care, of course, that they lose nothing in the telling. “We paused at last where home-bound cows Brought down the pasture’s treasure,” and as the dew began to settle, we did so, too, on a beautiful green knoll in a cluster of great elms, in Northfield. We afterward found this green¬ sward a deceit, for the greenness was due to little tufts of grass, here and there, and between were sand and the dirtier clay-dust which defiles every¬ thing. One of these huge elms, which had been undermined by the s])ring freshet, and had fallen obliquely on the bank and into the river, made both a wharf and a harbor for the canoes, and a brook in the rear furnished water; while all about us were scattered dry j)ieces of drift-wood ready for our fire. Distant rumblings above ])laiidy said, “Trench the tent and make all secure.” We obeyed and then slej)t. (See March number.)
