Mr. Morehouse Mitchell is with us again for a few weeks. Glad to see liim back and looking so well. As the fine weather is here it is iDout time there was a move in the sidewalk business as it is greatly want- ed from Main street to the station.

Mr. and Mrs. Oliver, of Holland Ceutre, and Messrs. Cssar and Jack- nian, (;f Markdale, were the guests of friends here recently.

Dayman presents quite a re- spectable appearance in its new front. Mr. Earnest Deleree is out from Owen Sound making improvements on the property. His new picket fence does him credit. The Central Spring Show on Fri- day last created quite an excitement. A number of first-c^ass horses and cattle was present to compete for the prizes offered, and everything seemed to pass off without any more than the usual amonat of gossip, â- â- â-  Editor Standard. Sib, â€" Ee school site â€" Since the re- sult of the vote was made known some disappointed parties are not slow in predicting delay, difficulty, and finally defeat in having the school located on the Agricultural grounds. Now this does seem a foolish and shortsighted course for any ratepayer to pursue. In the first place the ratepayers were called together to discuss the question of a site, and after due consideration concluded by resolutian to decide upon a site by vote to be taken by ballot. The ratepayers have exercised their franchise, deciding upon the Agricult- ural grounds and it now remains for the trustees to do all in their power unitedly to facilitate the secunag of the title for the site and in the erection of a building with all possible speed. There is not an hour to lose in order to have the new school open when the cold weather comej. A day now is worth as much in building as two late in the fall, and I am confident that I voice the sentiments of the section generally whea I â-  eay hvaj all differences and unite for the common luteresis of both parents and childrec. "Mamma, Fred. Brown says when he gets to be a man, if he has any power, he will let the women vote." "Well, my son, you tell Fred, Brown that if all the boys grow up to be the men they should be, there will be no need of the women voting â€" -the men will all vote right " This conversation has been in my mind so much since I overheard it that it has set me to thinking about the boys. From my window I can see some of them on their school play-ground. They begin to realise tbe will one day be citizens of a great country and casting their votes on matters that affect its welfare. Do they ever think what kind of citizens, what kind of men they will be I do. But it is not the boys alone on whom the responsibility of good citizenship rests, and it is not directly for them I am writing. Who then It is the mothers. If they would but realise their opportunity they would see that they have already what is better than the ballot. They have the powi^r to influence all the ballots of the future. " How can tbey do it " Let them impress upon their boys that they will be the men by-and-bye that some ot them will be rulers, and the officers of the Government, and their votes and their influence will decide whether right or wrong shall triumph. Teach them first of all to build up a true and upright character. Teach them to be loyal to their country by being loyal to God. Teach them always and everywhere to reverence His name, and never to take a profane word upon their lips. Teach them to be pure in heart and lip and speech, and never to laugh at vulgar words. Teach them these things, though they may say, as one boy did say, "But, mamma, sometimes the fellows put it in so funny, we can't help but laugh." Teach them that it is neither manly, wise, nor funny to smoke and drink. Teach them truthfulness, justice and honesty in all things, even their games. Teach them unselfishness, and a spirit of seeking the good of others. Teach them that it is better to be up- right and truet worthy than to be rich. On the other hand, teach them to avoid extravagant and useless expend- iture of money. Teach them to beware of borrowing, and to "avoid debt a3 they would the devil." Teach them to avoid a boy's temp- tations now, that they may be strong to resist a man's temptations by-and- bye All this, in general, and much more in detail, is the work resting on the mothers of to-day to do. Methinks «t is time for the mothers of our laui to bestir themselveR, to work while childhood and youth last for the character of thtir sons. For, if all the sons grow up to be upright men, exeuiplifying the principles ot religion, temperance and purity, our beloved country will be saved from many evils which now threaten its prosperity and peace. "Pshaw 1" do I hear some one say " Some old maid wrote this who thinks she knows how Po bring up boys. "Some old maid " did not write it, but a veritable mother, one who leels all the difficulties in tlie wny of real- ising thiH high ideal, and .a mother who is striving to stand between her boys and the woildliuess and sin which wonld hinder them froiu attaining it. â€" Christian at Work.
