Sunday-School Management.

It is more and more evident that the best Sunday-Schools are managed with the least noise; that teachers and scholar* are fully as ready to be quiet as is the Superintendent.' The call-bell is a far less important. factor in Sunday-School management than formerly. In many schools it has hardly a place left to it. In one Philadelphia school, for example, the Superintendent has it understood that when he is ready to open the school exercises he will step into his desk, and that his appearance there shall be counted the signal for the school to come W order, and so again at the close of the lesson hour. So thoroughly is this school under the quiet influence of that leader, that when, a few Sundays since, the Superintendent stepped into his desk merely for a > moment, during the hour for class recitations, almost instantly the buzz of voices hushed, and the contagion of silence swept over the room until all was profoundly still. This result was unlooked for by the Superintendent; but it well Illustrates the truth that the best way of bringing a large Sunday-School to order is not by making more noise than scholars ani teachers combined. — SundaySchool Time*. —One of the urchins who was rummaging around behind the stores yesterday came across an old print of Gen. Lee, and. after dusting i| off, he took it into one of the groceries, called the head clerk, and, after holding up the picture before him, asked: “Don’t you think that’s a perfect image of me?" The clerk was forced to say that he saw no similarity, the one being a bearded man, while the boy was young and smooth-faced. “Well,” said the youngster, as he thoughtfully criticised his treasure, “ I guess I’ll send it along to her anyway, ’cause the whiskers won’t make any difference, an’ if a gal is goin’ to have any pictur of a fellow she loves, she wants one that shows up a standin’ collar, a plaid vest and a soft look in the eyes to make her think he’s clean gone on her." — Fulton (N.

We keep all the cough remedies considered “standard" in this section. The sale of the Universal has become greater than any, perhaps greater than all others combined. We do not hesitate to recommend it Nichols 4 Lytle, Westbury, Cayuga Co., N. Y. Sold by Van Schaack, Stevenson <fc Reid, Chicago, HL
