When â- vre have acoonnts coming dae and an empty parse to meet them, and turn- ing to the ledger to see what we may .reasonably coont on or where the needful is likely to come from, and turning over page after page, on one is a deliquent subscriber three years in arrears, another five years and an- other seven, then a running account for five or six years amounting to twenty five dollars another for forty five and so on we figure up the am- ount of those doubtfal and tardy ac- counts antil we are in tbe hundreds of dollars, enough to pay all our indeb- â- edness and yet don't know where the required sum is coming from now the compositor calls for "copy," we turn to our exchanges, but they ap- pear void of interest, then try to ithinkjwhat subject to take for an ed- .itorial but vain is the effort to collect • our thoughts, we are apt to write something sarcastic, and is it any wonder. Every avenue of thoagfat appears closed to our conception, the very atmosphere becomes oppressive but still ther's so copy. Li the mean time the mail comes in and amongst the letters is a regestered one from in one of these doubtful -fleliqueats iritb amount of accoaut full to date. It is not a "big pile" in itself but it lifts the weight from our mental horizon and thoughts and ideas chase each other as if propelled by electricity the exchanges now bristle with news while the atmosphere is wholasome and reviving.

Marriage is not every- thing. How maeh less the miaerable fiascos in which loye and courtship so frequently end 1 Women have to live, and many of them fight the |battle of lite with wonderful brayery, and with all the odds against them. They are better working than playing the idle butterfly waiting for some happy matrimonial change that may never come. Sensible fathers will hence- forth j.U8t as anxiously consider what kind of employment they will choose for their girls as tor their boys. The need is quite as great, and the whole thing will soon adjust itself to circum- stances as increased experience may direct. Li the meantime, hands off. liet the girls have fair play. They will make no less efiElcient helpmeets for men by showing that they are both able and willing to help theunselves. « «»i â-  Kollaad C«atrtt. NOTE AND COMMENT. â€" A cyclone in Illinois last Sunday destroyed ^800 lesidences in Mount Vermont city, unhoused over 1200 people and killed 85. â€" One of the best and simplest re. medies for torpid liver or biliousness is a glass of hot water with the juice of half a lemon squeezed in it, but no sugar, night and morning, A person to whom this was recommended tried it, found himself better almost im- mediately. His daily headaches, which medicine had failed to cure, left him his appetite improved, and he gained several pounds within a few weeks. This is so simple a remedy that any person thus afflicted will do well to give it a trial, as it cannot possibly do any harm. â€" A pretty keen discussion has been going on about whether or not women are well suited to act as Prinoipds in Public Schools. Of course a good many foolish and some yery^rude things have been said in the course of the Controversy. It is quite true that some women are not suited for such a posi- tion, just as some men are not. But if it is contended that in the nature of .things a woman cannot be an efficient Principal in any school where there are boys and fcirls taught, either sep- ately or together, then we take the liber^ of entirely dissenting from such a fooUsh and unfounded idea. Facta go a great way further than theories, and the fact that wsm- 0Q have made efficient teaohers and principals, is bqroad all reasonable controversy.
