Cause and effect are always inter-reactive: and the refusal of the most competent men, to "take up the birch" which is the effect of this derision has filled our school-rooms with men, who are, not unfairly, its victims. Nor is that judgment incorrect.

I went into those school-rooms upstairs, never thinking there was any one there, because the old woman told me there wasn't. But there was and it was Mr. Egremont. 'Really? Did he knew who you were? 'I told him, Gilbert. He laughed again, and there was a look of pride in his eyes. 'Well, there's nothing very dreadful yet. And did he speak nicely? 'Yes, very nicely.

And one of the cleanest and busiest school-rooms ever visited was one of those little village schools. To be sure the people were limited in their education and way behind the times in their schools but they were eager to get on. Also, in every small center of population there is a Russian State Church. In America we have been accustomed to call these Greek Catholic Churches, but they are not.

Truth, then, as I have remarked, obliges me to admit that we have in our medical colleges some young men who labor "in harvest-fields and school-rooms" in order that they may honorably pay their way, rather than eat the bread or accept the gratuities of pauperism. Last March there graduated at the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania one of these self-supporting young men.

The neighbours perceiving how ill he was, led him out of the school-rooms into his own apartment, one going for a doctor, and the others telling the boys they might all go home, a notice of which they gladly availed themselves. I need hardly say, that I made all the haste I could to communicate the successful result of my trick to Milly and Captain Bridgeman.

We must avoid breathing over the carbonic acid gas contained in the tight or unventilated rooms in which we labor or remain for a long time, whether parlors, school-rooms, counting-rooms, bed-rooms, shops, or factories.

We have them now every morning at seven, and we shall continue them, the Lord helping us, till we see his hand stretched forth, not merely in giving us means for the teachers, but also for other purposes; for we need a stove in one of the school-rooms, a fresh supply of several kinds of Bibles and New Testaments, and it is desirable to have means to help missionary brethren who labor in dependence upon the Lord for the supply of their temporal necessities.

Elias preaches anywhere no respect to buildings private or public houses, school-rooms, barns, even theatres anything that will accommodate. Before long the divan and all the settees and chairs are fill'd; many fashionables out of curiosity; all the principal dignitaries of the town, Gen.
